Chapter 50 The beginning of the staple food revolution
"Please ask you to come out!" After taking a shower and changing clothes, Cao Cao came to Wanshi House in the near future. As the governor, she did not need to talk nonsense to a group of salesmen and directly asked to meet with the chief.
"Come!" A woman about sixteen or seventeen years old walked out slowly, "Zhang Chunhua, the princess of Wanshiwudong, pay a visit to the governor! I wonder if the grandfather is here, what do you need our help?"
Basically, Cao Cao entered the third level of alert as soon as he entered Wanshiwu. This guy used some small means to buy a large number of wheat and black beans at a low price, which made the inventory bottom out. It was already a very good result without being included in the blacklist, but it was not so easy to take advantage of Wanshiwu for the second time!
"There is a big deal and I plan to cooperate with Wanshiwu. I wonder if the person in charge is interested?" Cao Cao went straight to the scene.
"Don't talk about interests, the house of all things is only about interests!" Zhang Chunhua smiled sweetly, "It is not convenient to talk here, so please come with me. As for whether the follow-up conversation can be successful, it depends on how sincere the adult is!"
"You will be interested!" Cao Cao nodded and entered the special reception room with Zhang Chunhua. The reception room is a special structure with good sound insulation effect. The real important meetings are all here, and the last transaction was also here.
"So, our governor, what big deal is planned to introduce to us? " Zhang Chunhua's attitude is not so friendly. After all, Cao Cao's behavior last time gave her a stain on her resume, which would affect her promotion.
"I hope Wanshiwu will come forward and help you purchase a large amount of wheat and rice in Lu Bu's territory. We exchange corn and sorghum for exchange. If there are insufficient areas, we will use Wuzhu coins to compensate!" Cao Cao expressed her intention.
"If the governor wants to entrust us to buy food, we naturally don't mind doing this business. But I don't seem to feel that this business is a 'big deal'." Zhang Chunhua asked with interest.
"It's very simple. This action is not just about Wanshiwu. Someone under my command has gone to the Chef Guild to lobby, hoping to use them to buy wheat and rice together... Whether this is a big deal depends on whether Wanshiwu will join this feast as well!" Cao Cao said slowly.
"The price of wheat and rice has never been as high as that of corn and sorghum. If you exchange it, you can indeed use equal weight corn or sorghum to exchange for more rice or wheat... But what's the point? More grain?!" Zhang Chunhua asked.
"You just bought the recipe for fried noodles, and I think you will also sell fried noodles at low prices in various places where the disaster is affected... Does Master Zhang think that Cao's move has snatched the Wanshi House's business?" Cao Cao pointed out the key directly.
"I know you're still embarrassed to ask?" Zhang Chunhua replied angrily.
"The condition is that we will authorize the right to use steamed buns and buns to Wanshiwu for free!" Cao Cao said casually.
Zhang Chunhua frowned, and she naturally knew the value of buns and steamed buns. The ownership of these two things is Cao Cao, and the recipe of buns is in the hands of Wang Yong. Due to business rules, it is not easy to use them casually.
The real thing to save people is fried noodles, but the profits of buns and steamed buns are also very generous, especially in areas that have not been affected by the drought. Many people are willing to spend money to buy one or two for breakfast. The key is that this is a business that comes with every day.
"What do you want to do?" Zhang Chunhua hopes to know the answer.
"Our chef said that he planned to change the dietary structure of the Han people and turn most people's staple foods from corn and sorghum to pasta and rice!" Cao Cao shrugged, and when he first heard this suggestion, he felt a little unreliable.
The problem is that if we can unite with Wanshiwu, the chef guild, and even the cultural relics ministers under her command, and their families, it will be another matter. The real sacrifice of it is Wang Yong. The right to use steamed buns, especially the monopoly of buns, can bring him great benefits, but he plans to promote it for free.
"You really have a good chef!" Zhang Chunhua sighed, "This news is very valuable!"
It must be very valuable! If anyone can use the right to use the buns and steamed buns, then even the people can buy some wheat when they have the conditions, and then try to make some buns and steamed buns by themselves. They can even use this as a living and earn some extra money!
The result is that the price of wheat will increase rapidly, and even the range of wheat will gradually exceed that of corn or sorghum. Not to mention the wheat stocked up at this moment, the price will increase at least twice as much as it is promoted within half a year, or it will reach the current price of corn, and then sell it. That will be twice the profit!
When the profit reaches 20%, the capitalists will become active; when the profit reaches 100%, the capitalists will dare to trample on all laws in the world! After all, Wanshiwu is a commercial joint institution, and there is no reason to let this 100% profit not be made!
"I can understand pasta, where is the rice?" Zhang Chunhua's breathing accelerated slightly, but she planned to maximize her interests.
"Can't you feed your appetite even if you steamed buns or buns?" Cao Cao asked meaningfully. At this point, she took the initiative.
"You won. We are very interested in this deal, but it takes about three days. We need to contact the headquarters! In addition, we need to sign a contract, especially the transfer procedures for the use of steamed buns and buns!" Zhang Chunhua nodded. Some things are indeed difficult to ask for too much.
"Yes!" Cao Cao nodded, then looked at Zhang Chunhua with a little meaning, "But I will wait for your headquarters to approve it!"
"Okay..." Zhang Chunhua nodded, and indeed, no rabbits were seen and no eagles were displayed.
At the same time, during the chef guild, Yang Ci was enjoying the afternoon leisurely, but he heard that Wang Yong came over. He didn't know what happened to this prospective disciple, but he was naturally happy to meet him.
"You are planning to promote pasta in full. What's going on with rice?" Wang Yong explained his purpose, and Yang Ci asked casually.
"I plan to promote rice noodles in the south and expand the range of rice consumption, and then guide the staple food in the south to begin to favor rice, and then expand the range of rice cultivation." Wang Yong replied.
"Rice noodles... are made of rice paste? It's interesting, but do you think the Jiangnan group who have never seen the world will accept it?" Yang Ci asked back.
"So, this risk is naturally not easy for the teacher to bear." Wang Yong said with a smile.
"Fried rice is delicious, and rice is actually good. Although I am old, my eyes are not blind. If the ingredients are used well, my value will naturally surge. Whether it is wheat or rice, if you make it like that, the price will naturally increase. If you give money to the chef guild, we have no reason not to accept this business!" Yang Ci did not hesitate. Those who can be the chef in the palace will not have a bad vision.
"Thank you, my teacher!" Wang Yong nodded and thanked. The chef guild has won, and the promotion of pasta will be more thorough.
After Wang Yong left, Yang Ci lay on the recliner and shouted: "Come out!"
A teenage girl came out and came to Yang Ci's side: "Grandpa!"
"Xu'er, what do you think, Wang Yong?" Yang Ci did not look up, but just asked casually.
"I think he is stupid. Things that can obviously make a lot of money are promoted for free." Yang Xiu laughed.
"You are just a clever one, you can't get on the table!" Yang Ci shook his head, "It's just that he can see further!"
