Invincible from the beginning of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 298
After Cao Ang went back, he talked to Xun Yu.

"Sir, the price is too high. Tian Feng would charge such a high interest rate."

The monthly interest rate is [-]%, which is very high.

It was also very difficult for Cao Cao and the others to bear it.

Xun Yu sat there thinking for a long time, and then said: "We need this money, as long as the turnover is two to three months, we can pay back the money."

To expand the army, it is necessary to expand the army immediately. Cao Cao can raise part of the money himself, but there is still a big gap.

Yuan Shao's army will be able to recover soon, and Cao Cao can't be slow, he has to do everything he can.

In fact, Cao Cao's strength is still very strong, but there are many places where soldiers and horses are needed, and there is Yuan Shu in the south to guard against.

Xun Yu knew very well that Cao Cao needed the money very much.

If you don't equip the army quickly, others will attack Cao Cao, and the loss will be even greater.

Xun Yu said to Cao Ang: "Tomorrow I will go to negotiate, and I will try to have as little as possible."

The next day, Xun Yu went to see Tian Feng.

Tian Feng made good tea for him.

"Mr. Wen Ruo, Wang Zuozhi is a talented person. It's an honor to meet you. It's an honor."

Tian Feng was really polite, but Xun Yu said: "Mr. is still very powerful, assisting the general who protects the country, and laying such a foundation. Youzhou has a good government and a harmonious people."

Tian Feng is also very happy to be sought after, and Zhang Ming was not so voluntary at the beginning
But now I am very fortunate that I followed Zhang Ming back then.

"Okay, we don't need to flatter each other anymore, let's talk about things directly. The conditions we proposed are like that. On the same conditions, if Mr. Wen Ruo wants to borrow more money, it is not impossible."

Xun Yu was a little shocked in his heart. Zhang Ming's family is so rich, and he still has money?

Xun Yu said calmly, "The interest rate is too high, it will double in ten months."

"It's a bit high. If it weren't for the high risk, we wouldn't ask for such a high price." Tian Feng said.

"We can't afford that kind of high interest right now."

"Mr. Wen Ruo, I have an idea. I can reduce the interest by half."

Xun Yu was very curious, what kind of conditions did Tian Feng want to offer.

Signaled Tian Feng to continue.

Tian Feng said: "If you use this money to buy our weapons and armor, the interest can be reduced by half, and the monthly interest is only 5%."

"As for the quality, you can rest assured that you can make a decision after you inspect the goods. For these two options, you can make a decision after you have seen the weapons and equipment."

Cao Cao lost a large number of troops, so naturally he needed a lot of weapons and equipment.

Cao Cao is already preparing to summon about [-] craftsmen to start building.

Xun Yu decided to take a look first, and agreed to inspect the goods the next day.

The next day, Xun Yu took Cao Ang to inspect the goods.

They took a dozen people with them, and Tian Feng took them to a warehouse in the city.

"Good knife."

"This gun is not bad."

"These armors are so smooth and thick enough."

"This is the best armor I've ever seen."

Xun Yu and the dozen or so people brought by Cao Ang were full of praise for this batch of weapons and equipment.

The things that Zhang Ming forged using the new method were forged with a hydraulic stamping machine, so the quality would naturally not be bad.

"Mr. Yuanhao, how much does this weapon cost?"

"Hahaha, it's absolutely cheap. We put these weapons and equipment here as warehouses, and they are useless at all."

"My lord, I plan to deal with it cheaply. After all, we are quite short of money now."

The price quoted by Tian Feng was indeed very low, about [-]% cheaper than the market price.

Weapons and equipment are very important. In ancient times, they were often more important than soldiers.

After calculation, Xun Yu felt that this business could indeed be done.

Cao Cao is in great need of weapons and equipment, and now he has to organize his own manpower to build them.

"Mr. Wen Ruo, it's better to buy it than to make it. If you build it yourself, you need to summon artisans. Artisans need wages, food, forging needs mining, and a lot of wood needs to be burned."

Xun Yu was moved.

It is better to buy than to build, indeed, if you buy it back, you will be able to form combat power immediately.

"Okay, we have all these weapons and equipment."

After weighing it up, Xun Yu agreed.

Everyone went back to talk again, and this time they planned to sign the contract directly.

As a result, the amount Xun Yu talked about has far exceeded the previously expected 1000 million.

That batch of weapons and equipment needed more than 700 million yuan, and then sold them salt worth 500 million yuan, and finally lent them 300 million yuan in cash.

A total of 500 million loans is required.

That's a lot of money.

Under the auspices of Tian Feng and Xun Yu, the contract was signed.

The interest rate was directly reduced by half, and Zhang Ming "sold" the weapons and equipment in stock.

After the signing, Tian Feng hosted a banquet for Xun Yu and Cao Ang at Dongling Restaurant.

After the matter was over, Tian Feng went to report to Zhang Ming.

"My lord, I sold a batch of weapons and equipment. Although the interest rate was reduced by half, I made more money from that batch of weapons and equipment."

Zhang Ming was very happy. Although the price of that batch of weapons and equipment was 30% lower than the market price, Zhang Ming and the others made at least [-]% of the profit.

That's right, Zhang Ming has scale effect, has new technology, and the weapons and equipment forged are of good quality, and the price is still half of the market.

So even though it's cheap to deal with, it's actually a lot of money.

"Very good, this can also confuse the enemy. We even sell a lot of weapons and equipment, which shows that we have no desire for hegemony."

"If this gets to Yuan Shaona, Yuan Shao will be less wary of us."

"This transaction can earn millions, which is very good."

Zhang Ming appreciated it generously.

He didn't go out to meet Cao Ang and Xun Yu, maintaining his extravagant and voluptuous image.

In order to confuse the enemy, Zhang Ming often travels by cart.

His carriage was so large that it required eight horses to pull it.

The wheels are six, with modern tires.

At the same time, the windows are made of bulletproof glass.

On this day's trip, Zhang Ming asked Qiao and Qiao to divide into left and right, and there were chairs and tables inside.

Vegetables, fruits, wine and vegetables are placed on the table.

Zhang Ming deliberately opened the curtains on the left and right, and inside, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao were waiting for him to eat and drink.

"If my husband is a fool in the future, we sisters will be famous in history, just like Daji."

Da Qiao said while feeding Zhang Ming a drink.

Xiao Qiao took a bite of food for Zhang Ming, and then said: "Even if my husband is a fool, he is the most powerful fool."

Many passers-by on the street saw the actions of the three on the carriage.

"This is Zhang Ming."

"His wife is so beautiful."

"Zhang Ming is indulging in beauties and wine, and sooner or later he will lose."

"So young, so ridiculous"

Many scholars talked about Zhang Ming behind his back, but what Zhang Ming said in front of him was just a collection, nothing serious.

It's no secret that Zhang Ming often does this in Youzhou.

The difference is that there are often other beauties around.

His five wives are often brought out, and they are often there when playing football.

Many people judged that Zhang Ming would be annexed by other princes sooner or later.
