Chapter 18 Business Wizards
The fat man is called Sima Tiancai, and he is the name he gave himself.
The son of Sima Changge, the richest businessman in Yundu, was similar to Zhuge Liusu's fate and was also a concubine's son.
The concubine's son is incompetent.
In fact, what I mean is not that the concubine's son has no ability, but that he does not have that much energy. So in Yundu, Sima Tiancai is one of the few playboys who can play with Zhuge Liusu.
Sima Tiancai's sword dance was halfway through, and he started to breathe when he spoke, so he simply closed his mouth. The sword was like a spiritual snake, but he walked in a different way. Many martial arts rely on the cooperation of body techniques to exert infinite mysteries.
However, his sword skills really have no body skills. In his words, sword dancing is a sword dancing. If he focuses on body skills, it means using the wrong capital, which is not a way to do business.
Fortunately, Feng Ling and Lian were just starting out, and saw that he danced beautifully, he didn't say much.
Every time Sima Tiancai feels tired when he practices swords, even if he doesn't finish his sword skills, he will stop and say that he can't treat himself badly.
So he leaned on the ground with his long sword, looked up at Feng Ling and said, "Your young master is the one who causes trouble. Practicing more martial arts can make him more unscrupulous. The way is right, but the method is wrong."
Feng Ling also had a hint of doubt in his heart. That was not what the young master said when he was a professor.
But after Master Sima said something, he also felt that it made some sense.
Just as he was confused, a lazy voice came: "Your mouth is much more powerful than the sword in your hand!"
"Young Master!" Feng Ling walked to the left of Zhuge Liusu who was leaning against the door with a smile.
Lian Jing stood silently on his right.
Sima Tiancai turned around and looked up at Zhuge Liusu: "I haven't seen each other for a year, Zhuge hooligan is still so frustrated!"
Zhuge Liusu stood up straight and walked towards him, smiling and said, "No matter how frustrated you are, you will not be able to dance with a simplified sword technique."
He had long been used to seeing each other's mutual damage, Feng Ling turned a wink at the company and did not follow him.
"Feng Ling, go and make a cup of tea for Sima Wuneng!" Zhuge Liusu walked to the fat man, pointed to the stone table on one side and said, "If you are tired, sit down and rest for a while, it's not embarrassing!"
Sima Tiancai sat down opposite him and said, "You are far worse than Yun here. Are you a habit of staying here? The main reason is that the women here are too rough, not as good as the water spirit there."
Zhuge Liusu looked at the face full of oil and cursed with a smile: "This place is very good. If you continue to stay in Yundu, I am afraid that I will be as fat as you, even your old man will not recognize you."
Sima Tiancai laughed: "But your eloquence has not changed at all. Tell me quickly, what interesting things are there here?"
"Tell me first, how much power can you mobilize from your Sima family?" Zhuge Liusu said.
Sima Tiancai said proudly: "Don't forget that I am a business genius. My old man has high hopes for me. You also know that the Sima family's power covers too much, but I have no problem with this corner of the empty state."
Zhuge Liusu shook his head: "Don't brag about me. Your elder brother has now intervened in the Sima family's industry. Although Kongzhou is not rich, it is a major state for border trade. Can you mobilize it?"
Without waiting for the fat man to answer, his face gradually turned solemn: "Fat man, you should know that I let you run over from all the way, no joke, so you should tell the truth."
Sima Tiancai spread his hands awkwardly and said, "You know my situation. What I used to be and what I am now. The family affairs have nothing to do with me. All I can rely on is this body of fat!"
"Tell me what good way you have. Since you call me over, there are always conditions!"
They are all smart people, and Zhuge Liusu didn't go around in circles and said in a deep voice: "I have a few profitable transactions here, but with the current situation in Gu'an Town, there is not so much tax as capital. If you want to do something and open up a road from Gu'an Town to Yundu, I will take care of you and become a concubine's son within two years."
"But you also know that this road is very far away and requires forming a huge caravan. If your energy cannot do this, there is no need to cooperate."
Sima Tiancai's little eyes flashed a few lights: "You should let me know what business it is. Let's take a comprehensive assessment. Is there any need to be worth taking the risk of peeling my backscale."
Zhuge Liusu smiled slightly and told him about raising wild animals and coal.
The light in Sima Tiancai's eyes became brighter and brighter: "There is not such a big profit margin for raising wild animals, but the coal matter can be studied carefully. This is a profitable transaction."
Zhuge Liusu shook his head and said, "I think raising wild animals in captivity is actually not worse than coal, but stronger."
Looking at the doubts in the fat man's eyes, he continued, "Think about it, any family with a little power in Yundu is full of wives and concubines, and those wild furs are hard to come by."
"The flesh and blood of these wild beasts can be opened in Yundu, using this as a feature, and gradually open branches on each street. The Tianwu clan has a unique method of drying fur. The animal skins here are definitely much better than the so-called natural soft skins in Yundu."
He paused and continued, "I have calculated it roughly. If an ordinary beast is transported to Yundu, your profit will triple or even more than the caravan's capital."
Sima Tiancai is not a fool either. As he himself said, his mind is not only influenced by the family, but more of it is his intelligence.
This guy who looks more playful than Zhuge Liusu is definitely not an ordinary person, otherwise he would not have called the fat man over to discuss such a big deal.
Sima Tiancai seemed to have figured out the calculations and looked at Zhuge Liusu with some surprise: "What have you experienced this year? I have never dared to think about this much when I opened a restaurant and formed a caravan."
"But if this matter can be really done, the profits will be absolutely objective, and you are honest about this!"
Zhuge Liusu sarcastically said, "Do you think anyone is as profit-oriented as you?"
Sima Tiancai laughed and said, "The wild beasts need to be processed on site. This way, although the cost of the caravan will be higher, the value generated after being transported to Yundu will be greater."
"In addition, those coals can also be used to connect them with restaurants, and their reputation may be more resounding."
When Zhuge Liusu heard the fat man speak, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. The fat man was still smart. After a little tipping on him, he could already think of the considerable income.
The nature of a businessman is also revealed.
However, the business model he has evolved from on-site processing and strong alliance is much more professional than himself.
While thinking about it, Sima Tiancai continued, "But what you mean, should you divide the money or what?"
Zhuge Liusu smiled and said, "No nonsense? You are not my son, so how can I have so much energy to pave a way for you?"
Sima Tiancai sighed and said, "It is said that businessmen are profit-oriented, but you guy is even more serious than us who draw blood. You can make a profit by moving your mouth."
"Tell me, how many do you want?" he asked.
Zhuge Liusu stretched out three fingers and said, "Thirty percent, 30% of the net profit is not too much!"
The fat man curled his lips and said, "I will bear the risk. You need 30% of the time you sit. Isn't it a bad person?"
Zhuge Liusu reached out to pat his head and said angrily: "If I hadn't watched you here, how sure do you think you would be able to do this business?"
"Forget it!" The fat man said depressedly: "Thirty percent will be worth 30%, just think it's because I bought you a favor."
Zhuge Liusu smiled and said, "Don't be happy in your heart, you are still unforgivable. I can guarantee that once this trade route is opened, many businesses will follow. The 30% profit you give me will be a drop in the bucket."
When the fat man saw what he was thinking, he was guessing through the guy, he shook his head in a little annoyed: "I had known that you were smart, but I didn't expect that even my good brother would be plotting against me."
"If you don't plot against me, why would I plot against you?" Zhuge Liusu said.
"But the point is, how do you convince your family? As far as I know, you are not sure."
Sima Tiancai snorted: "You don't have to worry about this. I promise you that the caravan will be formed within one month, but your supply of goods must be supplied, otherwise it will be wasted so much money for me!"
Zhuge Liusu laughed: "Your old man treats you very well. Well, it takes me a month, and I can't just get 30% of your profits in vain. I will be responsible for the trade routes in this town, and use the taxes in the town to offset them and complete the operation within a month."
"Trade!" Sima Tiancai stood up and said.
Zhuge Liusu waved at him: "Why did you want to leave as soon as you came? After arriving at me, I can at least let me do the best of the landlord's friendship."
Sima Tiancai's head was like a rattle: "I've been with you for a long time, and I'm always insecure and can't do anything."
Zhuge Liusu said angrily: "It's not a win-win situation, otherwise, with your business genius' mind, you are willing to be plotted against me?"
Sima Tiancai sighed and sat down again: "But there is something to remind you."
Seeing his serious expression, Zhuge Liusu also put away his smile.
"You touched the princess' butt back then. This matter was either big or small, but it was equivalent to slapping the prince in the face. I heard that the incident of you being imprisoned in Chongling County was somewhat related to him." Sima Tiancai said.
Zhuge Liusu nodded, he had already guessed this.
Sima Tiancai continued: "But recently, a lot of news has been spread, and the prince seems to be unwilling to accept it. Since he can attack Prince Cui, if your small guard suddenly dies, it will not be a big deal."
"in addition……"
The fat man hesitated for a moment, and he stopped talking.
Looking at Zhuge Liusu's flashing gaze, he finally said, "The princess seems to have entered the palace recently. This girl is not interested in the prince. I heard that the two are not having a good time. The prince is afraid that the prince will have to spread the fire on you again."
