Chapter 25: carrot and stick

    The first batch of perfume was produced, and Li Min sold the perfume to Tong Nian at the agreed price, but Tong Nian was too old to y tricks, and the first batch only took 500 bottles of perfume, and after more than ten days, it was gone. There was no movement to take away the remaining perfume. For this reason, Li Yin had to ask his servants to suspend the production of perfume.


    Li Yin understood what he was thinking, and it was nothing more than worrying about unsatisfactory sales and minimizing losses as much as possible. He sneered and didn''t reveal it.


    Tong Nian, you underestimated the fatal attraction of perfume to women.


    The concubines in the pce couldn''t put it down after they got the perfume. Many concubines sent Huangmen to the Prince Liang''s mansion to return the gift and mentioned the perfume they purchased. Li Yin was not polite. The concubines in the pce are all rich masters , If you don''t kill it, you don''t kill it. He also sold it to them at the price of a bottle of ten guan.


    In the Tang Dynasty, these nobledies in the pce were the same as the modern stars, they were the guides of fashion, what they ate, what they wore, and what they yed, would arouse imitation outside the pce. After the perfume was used on them, the excellent As a result, there was quite amotion in the circle ofdies anddies. At this moment, Tong Nian took advantage of the trend and started selling perfumes as the exclusive agent of Prince Liang''s Mansion, causing a big panic buying frenzy.


    "Master, the servants waiting outside the door to buy perfume are getting impatient. When will the next batch of perfume arrive?"


    At the entrance of the Wanli Grocery Store, a 100-meter-long line of human figures stretched north along the grocery store. The line was full of people dressed as servants. After getting the news of selling perfume here, their wife of the head of the family sent them to buy perfume here. Moreover, a death order was given - if you can''t buy it, you don''t have toe back, none of them want to bepared with others.


    Tong Nian tugged on the drenched gown, and cursed: "You are in a hurry, I am not in a hurry! Isn''t this already sending someone to Liangwang''s mansion to get the goods?"


    While talking, a servant hurried in from the door, and Tong Nian hurriedly said, "How''s it going?"


    This young man has a bitter face, and his expression at this moment is more bitter, "Master, the gold steward of the Wangfu said that the master and His Royal Highness Liang Wang agreed that you can take as much perfume as you want. The batch of perfume was originally about 3,000 bottles, but you took 500 bottles, and there were 2,500 bottles left. His Royal Highness Liang Wang said that he needed some funds to return the money to produce the next batch of perfumes, so he sent all the remaining perfumes to the pce. went!"


    "Hey!" Tong Nian gave himself a p in the face, "Tong Nian, Tong Nian, you are so clever that you were misunderstood by your cleverness. What idea did you y with His Highness King Liang? This time it will fall into your own hands!" , After finishing speaking, he walked out of the shop.


    "Master, where are you going?" Seeing Tong Nian leaving, the boy asked, "What are we going to do here!"


    "Procrastinate first! I''m going to the Shu Pce, His Royal Highness Liang Wang is showing off to me. In the end, he took care of me only for His Highness Shu''s face. This time I really lost my head!"


    What Jin Daqian said was naturally taught by Li Yin. He handed over the purchase of spices to Tong Nian because of the shortage of manpower in the pce, and Li Yin also gave him money for these spices at market prices, which did not make him suffer. , and after handing over the exclusive sales rights to Tong Nian, he regretted it a bit, but what he said was water that was spilled after all, and he couldn''t take it back.


    Originally, it didn''t matter, but Tong Nian yed tricks on him, which caused a serious stagnation in the production of perfume. His ce is not Tong Nian''s warehouse. If you want 100 bottles, you can produce 100 bottles. If you want 10,000 bottles Just working overtime to produce 10,000 bottles for you, Li Yin also needs the perfume of Prince Liang''s Mansion to be converted into copper coins as soon as possible, instead of being ced in the warehouse.


    But the right to sell was given to Tong Nian, and he couldn''t let other merchants sell it. At this time, the disadvantages of exclusive sales came out, that is, he had to produce ording to Tong Nian''s purchase volume.


    Li Yin regretted having learned a lot from a pitfall, and will never engage in exclusive sales for the sake of saving trouble.


    Just as he was thinking, Jin Daqian came to report that Li Ke wasing.


    "Brother Huang!" Seeing Li Ke, Li Yin didn''t greet him with a smile this time, but put on a bad face instead.


    Li Ke smiled sarcastically, and waved his hand to let Tong Nian, who was following him with his neck hunched, leave, "Tong Nian told me everything, this time it was his fault, I have already reprimanded him once, what should I say?" You are also my younger brother, he is just a merchant, how can I let my younger brother suffer a disadvantage and protect him all the time, I asked him to hand over any exclusive sales rights, and you can sell it to whoever you like! You If you don''t like it anymore, I will remove him from the pce''s followers."


    What Li Ke said was loud and sincere, but Li Min felt that he was a little narrow-minded. He said: "It''s not that serious. It''s human nature for a businessman to pursue profit. I just beat him to let him go." He has a long memory, and he will discuss everything with the pce in advance, so don''t let me be caught off guard!"


    "Sixth brother said the same thing. This Tong Nian is really a bit casual because he is a guest of my Shu Pce. From now on, you don''t have to worry about my face, you can deal with him as you want!"


    Contrary to Li Yin''s expectations, Li Ke never said a word to help Tong Nian, and all his words were directed towards himself. But in this case, why did hee to the pce in person? After thinking about it for a while, Li Yin understood that this Li Ke was making progress by retreating. Although he didn''t help Tong Nian in one sentence, he was helping Tong Nian everywhere. Make things too difficult for Tong Nian. To put it bluntly, Tong Nian is still his disciple.


    Even Li Ke has been so aggrieved, and Li Yin has to give this old brother face. How to say, Li Ke''s concern for him is still true, but he can''t punish Tong Nian at all. Since Tong Nian said to hand over the exclusive If he has the right to sell, then he will ept it as a matter of course, as a punishment for him, lest he think that relying on Li Ke can be like a fish in water in his Prince Liang''s mansion.


    The two brothers chatted for a while, Li Ke got up and was about to leave, but Li Yin pretended to be unintentional and said, "Third brother, when will you pay back the five thousand copper coins you owe me!"


    "Five thousand copper coins, what five thousand copper coins!" Li Ke looked like I had amnesia, "Brother Huang left beforehand!" After finishing speaking, he slipped away without looking back.


    "Shameless!" Li Yin squeezed out two words from between his teeth.


    Li Ke left, Tong Nian still stayed outside the study with a low eyebrow, Li Min waved his hand, "Okay, go to Jin Daqian to get the goods, remember, no one can stand without trust, I will treat this matter as If it didn''t happen, if you order perfume in the future, report the amount to the pce in advance, and don''t let the business of the pce revolve around you!"


    "Yes, Your Highness, **** the little one, I won''t dare to do it again next time!" Tong Nian said cautiously.


    After receiving the perfume, Tong Nian was still terrified on the way back. He was careless in the past, and King Liang''s easy-going nature made him ignore the difference in status between the two. In addition, relying on the King of Shu, he suddenly became bolder. He didn''t follow the rules in the matter of perfume, and now he understood that there was something that could not be disobeyed behind the easy-going temperament of King Liang.


    "Your Highness, you are really wise and powerful, and now Tong Nian is much more honest!" After Tong Nian left, Jin Daqian shook his head and said.


    Li Yin took a sip of tea and said, "He used to eat too much carrots, so it''s time to give him a big stick to taste, otherwise, his tail won''t be getting higher and higher!"


    "Carrot, big stick!" Under the afterglow of the setting sun, Jin Daqian tried hard to think, what is this thing?
