Chapter 220: Beijing Soap Factory Agent
Even though the price was called up to thirty thousand taels, the competition was not over yet.
Shen Tang couldn't help but click his tongue.
The capital city is indeed different. The agency rights for half of the city have been asked for tens of thousands of taels, and are even continuing to rise.
Nowadays, companies are no longer just trying to obtain agency rights.
Many people came today, and the agency rights are a matter of face.
As the saying goes, you can't even make money by fighting for your reputation.
They are all well-known figures in Da Qi. If they can get the agency rights, they will be the best among the group of people today.
The price of the agency rights can be asked for tens of thousands of taels among merchants, which proves that Shen Tang's profit far exceeds ten thousand taels of silver.
Therefore, we must get this agency even if it costs a lot of money.
"Fifty thousand taels!"
Marquis Cheng'en directly raised the price to fifty thousand taels.
Sure enough, as soon as the price of fifty thousand taels was announced, the entire hall fell silent.
This price has far exceeded Shen Tang's expectations and also exceeded the price in the minds of everyone present.
The agency rights of the north city were taken into the pocket of Marquis Cheng'en.
Marquis Cheng'en is from the queen's mother's family and is a legitimate royal relative.
The Marquis of Cheng'en had no promising descendants, but he educated his daughters well, and the whole family relied on the Empress Dowager.
However, Marquis Cheng'en is also a knowledgeable and interesting person. Although he is from the queen's mother's family, he is very low-key in his daily life and does not do anything to bully men or women.
But this time, he actually dared to spend 50,000 taels to buy an agency right, which makes people wonder if there is a deeper reason.
No one showed it on their faces, but their minds were already turning several corners.
"Congratulations, Marquis Cheng'en!"
"Marquis Cheng'en is so generous!"
......
Everyone present was a respectable person, and even if they felt unwilling, they had no choice but to give up.
After things calmed down a bit, Shen Tang took charge of the agency of Chengnan Breakfast Shop.
With the opening price of 50,000 taels in the north of the city, the price in the south of the city easily rose to 30,000 taels.
The dignitaries present knew what was going on.
I'm afraid they will have no chance to go to the south of the city.
Even if he spent tens of thousands of dollars to buy the agency rights in the south of the city, how could he explain his meager salary to be able to spend like this?
If they dare to spend 50,000 here today, the Censorate will definitely report them severely tomorrow.
They are not as lucky as Marquis Cheng'en, who has a daughter who becomes the queen.
The dignitaries could only sit and listen to the merchants behind them bidding prices.
Facts have proved that this wealthy businessman from Beijing is still powerful.
The agency rights for the soap factory in the north of the city were asked for 50,000 taels. Shen Tang thought that the price in the south of the city would be about 60,000 taels at most.
But who would have thought that these businessmen were really rich.
"Sixty-five thousand taels!"
"Sixty-eight thousand taels!"
"Sixty-nine thousand taels!"
"Seventy thousand taels!"
The price has been called up to 70,000 and has not stopped yet, but there are only a few people bidding.
"Seventy-eight thousand taels!"
When the price reached 78,000 taels, the merchants fell silent.
Although they are very wealthy, it is difficult for them to withdraw so much cash at this time.
The person who won the agency rights in Chengnan was the leader of a nationally renowned medicinal materials dealer, whose surname was Lin.
The family has been running the medicine business for generations. Clinics of all sizes across the country get their medicines from Lin’s Pharmacy. Even many of the medicines in the palace are provided by the Lin family.
The Lin family is also well-known for their kindness. They often provide free medical treatment and medicine to poor people. They are well-known good businessmen in Da Qi.
"Congratulations, Boss Lin."
Shen Tang smiled and gave his blessings.
After all, they would be his partners from now on, so Shen Tang smiled very sincerely.
The person attending this time is Lin Feng, the eldest son of the head of the Lin family and the future successor of the Lin family.
Lin Feng bowed to Shen Tang and spoke politely to the others:
"Lin Feng thanks all the bosses for their generosity."
No one knew how nervous he was down there; his palms were sweating.
When he was leaving, the head of the Lin family repeatedly told him to get the agency rights no matter what.
He came out with 100,000 taels of silver. Not only did he drain all the cash in the Lin family's account, he also overdrew the money for medicinal materials for several months of the next year to make up the money.
This agency right is their only chance to connect with Shen Tang, and what's more, it is the agency right in Beijing.
The relationship with Ning Anhou will definitely be closer than that with the bosses who have agency rights in other places.
During the intermission, Shen Tang took Cheng Enhou and Lin Feng to sign the agency agreement.
"Lord, Boss Lin, please give me your guidance in the future."
Shen Tang smiled and handed over two agreements.
"I hadn't finished discussing this agency agreement downstairs just now. Tangji still has the final say on the specific revenue sharing and pricing. Especially for pricing, all prices under Tangji's name will be uniformly set by Tangji. Except for some remote or impoverished areas, where prices vary, everything else will be the same.
You need to provide your own shop, and Tangji will supply you with goods. How will the profit be divided? Tangji will take 70% and you will take 30%. "
When Marquis Cheng'en heard this, he frowned slightly.
He spent fifty thousand taels to get a 30% interest, which was too little, but then he heard Shen Tang say;
"30% will be Tangji's cost, 30% will be Tangji's profit, and 30% will be yours. I will set up a special foundation for the remaining 10%."
foundation?
Both of them were puzzled as to what this thing was.
"This foundation was established in the name of our Tangji, using 10% of Tangji's profits. This 10% profit will be used to help Daqi by building roads, opening schools, and establishing charitable clinics."
As soon as Shen Tang explained, the two of them understood.
"Not just these two agents, but all Tangji agents will contribute 10% of their profits to this foundation."
Marquis Cheng'en heard the general idea, but he only knew that he now had a treasure pot in his hands.
It can be said that he never fought for anything in the past.
After the daughter became the queen, she not only did not act arrogantly, but instead she became more restrained towards the children in the family.
But this time it was the news from his daughter that made him buy the agency rights.
The news from the palace must be correct.
Along with the news came 30,000 taels of silver notes, so they bid the price.
When Lin Feng heard what Shen Tang said, there was more than just respect in his eyes, but also a hint of admiration.
Such a broad pattern.
It is said that the Lin family is the most kind-hearted businessmen, but they also know that their kindness, although good, also has a side that creates momentum.
But this Marquis Ning'an, she really dared.
His Lin family has been in business for decades and has never thought of taking 10% of the money for charity.
Not to mention it’s done, it’s not even half done.
The two happily signed an agency agreement, and Shen Tang agreed that the soap would be shipped from Jiangnan to the city after the New Year.
Next is the cotton mill’s agency auction.
