Chapter 157 Boss Murong is moved!
Ye Chen asked Shen Qiu to bring the stone mill to the lakeside cottage, which meant he was planning to cooperate with Boss Murong.
Moreover, in his opinion, Boss Murong could provide Xiqiang with channels, so in order to continue to obtain large quantities of wheat in the future, Boss Murong would need to continue to work hard.
It would definitely not work if we couldn't give more benefits to such an important middleman.
But Ye Chen felt it was too vulgar to ask him to pay the money himself, so he simply pulled Boss Murong into the business, let Boss Murong pay for the shares, and share the dividends after making money.
In this way, purchasing wheat became a joint business between Ye Chen and Boss Murong.
Ye Chen doesn't even need to remind him, Boss Murong will definitely redouble his efforts to purchase wheat.
This method is not uncommon in later generations.
But in Dayu, Ye Chen is clearly setting a precedent.
After hearing what Ye Chen said, Boss Murong was very surprised.
"Mr. Ye, are you willing to let me get involved in this business?"
"Of course I'm willing, but we need to negotiate the terms. Anyway, you should watch the demonstration first, and then we can talk. Um, Boss Murong, do you have any wheat here?"
Ye Chen asked.
"Yuniang, ask the cook to bring a bag of wheat."
"No need to bring it over here, just take it to my carriage, Boss Murong. I'll go wait there now. I'll bring the wheat flour to you in two incense sticks of time at most."
Ye Chen stood up and strode out of the room.
And wait until Ye Chen left.
Yu Niang then walked behind the screen.
"Boss, if Mr. Ye really has a way, then we must hold this deal in our hands!"
Yu Niang's eyes lit up and her body trembled slightly with excitement.
Wheat can be quickly turned into flour, which naturally brings in a lot of profits. After all, Yu Niang knows that the Hubing that is popular throughout Dayu is made from wheat flour!
"I know, but we also have to see if things are really as Master Ye said. We also have to be patient. He took the initiative to come to us today to ask for help, so we can't be too eager."
Boss Murong's tone was quite calm. After all, she was a businesswoman. Having been in business for so many years, she knew very well that sometimes the party who was too eager was likely to suffer losses in the business world.
"Ah."
Yu Niang also calmed down, then stood aside, stood on tiptoe, stretched her neck to look outside the door, and was very expectant.
At this moment, she had great confidence in Ye Chen.
This is also because Ye Chen’s previous performances have given her enough sense of security.
It made her naturally dependent on him.
Shortly after Ye Chen left the lakeside cottage and came to the carriage, the cook of the lakeside cottage brought two bags of wheat.
Ye Chen asked the coachman to carry both bags of wheat into the carriage, and Shen Qiu followed in.
Because it was used to hold a millstone, the carriage was very wide.
Even after the millstone was put down and two more people entered, it still didn't seem crowded.
"Qiu'er, let the driver come and grind the mill."
Ye Chen grabbed some wheat and gave the order directly.
The driver quickly got on the carriage and, under Ye Chen's instructions, began to push the millstone obediently.
Then, Shen Qiu on the side widened his eyes and was shocked to see the white fine powder flowing out through a tube on the millstone.
"Qiu'er, get someone to get a wooden barrel to put the flour in!"
Ye Chen ordered again.
Shen Qiu quickly asked someone to find a wooden barrel, and soon the barrel was filled with flour.
Two bags of wheat were enough to make two buckets of flour.
"Okay, take these two buckets of wheat flour to the lakeside cottage."
Ye Chen clapped his hands and then patted his body.
After the flour was ground, powder filled the air, staining his hands and clothes, but he didn't care.
Shen Qiu, who was standing by, came forward and took the initiative to lift the wooden barrel. After feeling the weight of the powder inside, Shen Qiu looked at the stone mill and exclaimed, "Your Majesty, this is truly a divine artifact."
"Oh, not that exaggerated."
Ye Chen smiled.
Stone mills had already been popular in Western Europe outside the territory of Dayu.
However, this is not because the Western Europeans are so smart, but because their climate is different from that of Dayu, which is very suitable for growing wheat. With so much wheat planted, these people naturally have to think about how to make it delicious.
"Your Majesty, is this what you were thinking of?"
Shen Qiu looked at Ye Chen with mixed feelings and asked.
"That's not true. This millstone comes from the Western Regions, not the Qiang area, but somewhere even further away. I've also read about it in an ancient book."
Ye Chen waved his hand, but did not attribute the creation of the stone mill to his own idea. After all, this thing existed in this world.
"Oh."
However, Shen Qiu didn't quite believe what Ye Chen said.
There are stone mills in the Western Regions, how come she has never heard of them?
When Ye Chen asked Shen Qiu to carry two buckets of flour out of the carriage, a servant from the lakeside cottage came forward to greet him.
"Master Ye, Butler Yu asked me to help you get something."
The servant said so.
Ye Chen immediately asked Shen Qiu to hand over the wooden barrel, and the servant carried the barrel and ran quickly to the cottage by the lake.
When Ye Chen walked into the room where Boss Murong was, Boss Murong was checking the flour.
"The wheat husks were not cleaned properly."
Boss Murong took a deep breath and then said.
"This is easy. Just find something to filter it with. Boss Murong, I don't think anyone needs to teach you this."
Ye Chen smiled and said.
Filtering tools are available in Dayu, and refined salt already exists in this world, but in small quantities.
"Mr. Ye, I am indeed very interested in this deal, but I don't know what your conditions are."
Boss Murong reached out and grabbed a handful of flour, feeling its fineness, and then said.
"My conditions are: Boss Murong, you have to invest. Do you know what investment means? First, I need to use your channels to purchase large quantities of wheat from the Qiang people. Second, you have to provide a sum of money. Your share of the company will be calculated based on the amount of money you provide. The more shares you own, the more dividends you will receive each month, and dividends are part of the profits."
"Your channel can also be considered as your investment. As for the investment amount, let's say 20%."
Ye Chen expressed his thoughts.
Hearing this, Boss Murong pondered for a moment and suddenly asked, "Then how much money do I have to pay to get a 50% stake?"
Hearing this, Ye Chen couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
He was somewhat surprised by Boss Murong's intelligence. He said that this shareholding system came from later generations and people at that time had never heard of it. However, Boss Murong quickly understood what he meant.
This kind of wisdom is definitely not something that ordinary people can possess.
"Three hundred taels, maybe."
Ye Chen did not ask for too much. After all, he still had to rely on Boss Murong's channels. He had to let Boss Murong work hard. It was just a token of his gratitude and he couldn't let him bleed a lot of money.
"I'll pay six hundred taels for an 80% stake!"
Boss Murong said without any hesitation.
"No, you can only take 50% at most!"
Ye Chen said quickly.
"Then the sale of wheat flour will be my responsibility!"
Boss Murong retreated to the next best thing and said.
Hearing this, Ye Chen pursed his lips.
"make a deal!"
