Chapter 192: Marry a daughter to seek peace?
What is the price of Moutai?
The current market price is about 1,600 yuan per bottle.
Refers to Feitian Pumao.
The actual wholesale price is nine hundred and seventy-nine.
With Jiang Yuanqiao and his friends' connections, they can easily get it at wholesale prices.
"How much money can you make from that stuff? I have a lot of them at home."
"Ah? Are you old and corrupt?"
Li Yuan's words made Jiang Yuanqiao so angry that he blew his beard and glared, "You can't even afford it myself, right? I don't even want to drink this little bitter water."
"Then let's do this. No matter how much you can charge, I will give you a 40% premium based on the factory price. Just give it to me in the second half of next year."
He doesn't need to invest manpower, nor will it take up funds, and in the end he can get it at a cost of about 1,300 yuan, which is definitely acceptable.
Because Moutai is a powerful tool for attracting traffic.
There are no more loyal users in the world than those who rush to buy Moutai.
After all, for the sake of wine, they can play a crappy game and recharge tens of thousands of dollars, and they can also sign in on time every day to watch how others make wine, just to exchange points and increase their chances of buying.
Yu Yue's negotiations with Bi Xin are nearing the end and will be completed in the next month. He is already preparing to attract more customers to the company.
Li Yuan's words scared Jiang Yuanqiao.
Are you having a hard time, kid?
A 40% premium? And it only takes one year.
You know, this thing can be leveraged.
With their status, they can get alcohol even if they write IOUs.
Normally, you can get the goods by paying a 20% deposit, and it is no problem to pay the balance after a year.
A 20% deposit is equivalent to a five-fold leverage.
If you spend 100 million, it will become 300 million after one year.
He wanted Li Yuan to point him in a direction and never thought of asking Li Yuan to pay for it himself.
Where can I sell so much wine?
Even if he could make some money, what else could Li Yuan do? Wouldn't he make more money by playing the financial game?
So he said, "Forget it, forget it. We are not suitable for doing business. If the scale is small, we will not make money. If the scale is large, someone may use this to cause trouble for us. We are retired now, so we don't want to get involved in this mess."
Before Jiang Yuanqiao said this, Hou Zhenguo and Hong Da were extremely excited.
Because this job is easy to do.
The profit margin offered by Li Yuan was large enough to easily make hundreds of millions of dollars a year.
As for the trouble Jiang Yuanqiao mentioned, it was nothing at all. They were all retired and they used real money to buy it. There was no violation of the rules in the world.
However, Jiang Yuanqiao's words obviously meant to give Li Yuan a way out and stop him from doing this job.
They didn't say anything. Even if Li Yuan changed his mind temporarily, it was his freedom.
Li Yuan smiled and said, "Grandpa, I do need some wine. Let me explain things more clearly. First, I need you to provide funds. After buying the wine, you need to find a way to store it for a year. If there are any problems or fake wine in the middle of the process, the responsibility will be on your side. I will settle with you at the end of October next year, and I can also guarantee that this is a long-term business. I need at least three years, and no less than 20 billion worth of wine every year."
The wine cellar belongs to them anyway, so they can just send someone to take over it at almost no cost.
Let him do this job by himself. He has no interest in it at all, but it is more important.
In fact, if wine is really circulated, its price will definitely change.
But it also depends on how it is operated.
In fact, at least 60 percent of Moutai consumed each year is never opened.
Accumulating year after year, you can imagine the amount of wealth.
But... in essence, the annual transaction volume of the tertiary market is only 20 to 30 billion.
Most people get the 1499 one from the platform, and either sell it for a thousand plus, or save it.
The main ones in circulation are those sold at a premium, and those that need to be purchased at a premium. The demand itself is not large. Even with so many people in the country, not many are sold in a year.
If Moutai Group produces 100 billion yuan worth of liquor a year, 20 billion yuan of it will most likely be bought by some platforms to attract traffic. At least half of it will flow back to the major dealers, which is equivalent to 10 billion yuan with financial attributes being saved.
The other 80 billion belongs to major distributors. Distributors also open the most bottles because they can connect with people who really have demand. The number of bottles sold at a higher price is not large and may be worth less than 10 billion. At least 40 to 50 billion yuan of wine will be stored.
As a result, there is more wine on the market every year.
According to market prices, the current amount of wine in stock may exceed 3 trillion.
The reality is that not many can be sold in a year, and if more are taken out, the price will definitely drop.
This thing is no different from stocks, just like the stock speculation on Wall Street. Everyone works together to raise the price. As long as you don't sell too much at one time, as more people continue to enter the market, and the high-end brand is created and has collectible attributes, everyone will make money from the wine in their hands over time.
Li Yuan didn't mean to crash the market. He would only be able to receive the money in the next two years, and it would probably be difficult in the future.
Because the liquor industry has not been very prosperous in the past two years, the circulation volume has dropped a lot, and most distributors can no longer afford to stock up on goods.
He distributed them to individual customers, and the number of bottles opened and collected should be quite high. If it is 10 or 20 billion, the impact on the market should not be that great.
After Li Yuan finished speaking, Jiang Yuanqiao stopped talking.
He just gave Li Yuan a way out for the sake of his great-grandson.
If I say anything more now, I will be sorry to my brothers.
Anyway, it’s Li Yuan’s own choice.
Hou Zhenguo immediately asked, "Li Yuan, do you have any other requests?"
If what Li Yuan said is true, the annual demand is 20 billion. As long as they can get it, each of them can make a profit of 500 to 600 million per year.
Too many...
"As for requirements, there are definitely some. For example, this is a business deal, follow the business process, and don't mix in other elements. I know that all of you old gentlemen have the power, and you can even let others give it to you for free. But I don't dare to accept that kind of goods..."
Hou Zhenguo said: "Look at what you said, we must have purchased it through regular channels, why would we go back and do such crooked things?"
"That's fine, shall we sign a contract?"
Hou Zhenguo waved his hands hastily and said, "How can we not trust you? You can just come to us to pick up the goods in a year. We will start preparations after we go back and build a large warehouse to store the wine. If there are any problems with the wine, all the money will be ours. There will definitely be no problems with the wine delivered to you."
Such high profits would not be possible without taking some risks.
The storage fees and labor costs together do not even account for 20% of the profit, and they don’t have to do anything to buy Moutai at the factory price.
Li Yuan was wary of those methods, and so were they.
So in principle, there will definitely be no trouble.
I'm just afraid that my subordinates will cause trouble.
Hou Zhenguo was going to go back and let Hou Wenbin take charge of this matter and give him a few more instructions.
Li Yuan said, "That's settled then."
After a while, when the three people left, Li Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.
It’s good enough that Jiang Yuanqiao didn’t get angry today.
I have tried to probe him several times, and apart from looking a little unhappy, he didn't do anything extreme. It shouldn't be too difficult to get along with him in the future.
He went to the study and sent a manuscript to Wen Yuxian.
Today was different from usual. Usually he and Wen Yuxian hardly chatted, but today Wen Yuxian took the initiative to find a topic.
"Senior, how was your conversation with my dad?"
"Ah? We haven't talked about it."
"???, Oh, I see. I was wondering why he was so depressed today."
At the same time, Li Yuan was also sending a message to Yu Yue to ask whether the CEO of Oriental Lithium Energy had made an appointment with him.
Since Wen Yuxian did not give her WeChat account to her father, she will most likely go through the formal channel, that is, contact the company first and then have a formal meeting.
Soon, Yu Yue replied.
Indeed, there was.
And Yu Yue met the other party today.
The reason I didn't notify Li Yuan was that I thought he could handle the matter.
These words were said by Yu Yue. Actually, Yu Yue was mainly worried about Li Yuan's condition. Moreover, the appointment time was at noon, which did not match Li Yuan's schedule. He wanted to ask the other party about his purpose first .
If you can handle it, do it yourself. If you can't handle it, sort out all the matters and report to Li Yuan.
"What did you talk about?"
"Boss, we didn't talk much. Mr. Wen didn't seem to want to talk to me. He just said a few words and then left."
"Then please help me make another appointment with Premier Wen in two weeks."
"Okay, evening?"
"Yeah, evening."
He did not blame Yu Yue for this matter. After all, he really did not have the energy to meet Wen Yuxian's father recently, even though the other party was a big shot.
His condition has only improved slightly in the past two days, and he doesn't want to be distracted.
Besides, what could he talk about with Wen Yuxian's father? Finance? He was not free now.
Talking about business? Neither of us has anything to do with it.
He sent a message back to Wen Yuxian, saying, "The company didn't do it well, so the news didn't reach me. I'll ask the general manager to make another appointment with your father."
"Senior, my dad may not agree."
"There's nothing I can do if you disagree. I've been in a bad state recently and I'm not in a good condition to discuss things."
"Oh, then I'll go ask my dad."
"Well, apologize for me."
Then……
Li Yuan never received a reply from Wen Yuxian.
We were busy until about six in the morning, when Chen Jie came over to prepare breakfast.
Li Yuan took the opportunity to say, "Sister Chen, I heard that Yu Chenguang went abroad. If you want to go there, I can help you think of a way?"
Yao Yingsong hasn't given any results yet, and it is probably still in the investigation stage. This shows that Yao Yingsong is capable, but not very strong.
Chen Jie did not respond. After serving the food to Li Yuan, she sat on the sofa and played with her phone.
Li Yuan simply didn't bring up the matter any further and waited for the results from Yao Yingsong before making any further comments.
Just like yesterday, at around eight o'clock, he was about to go to bed, and Chen Jie came over to help her relax for a while.
And just as he was sleeping, Wen Yuxian looked at her father helplessly.
"Dad, are you really going to agree to meet him?"
Wen Yuxian didn't go to school because there was no class on Monday morning.
She didn't even go to ask her father last night and only came over this morning.
As a result, his father was actually ready to agree to meet Li Yuan and was waiting for an offer from Sky Capital.
Her father said with a smile: "He is so young, it won't hurt to meet him."
"But I don't want you to see it."
Wen Yuxian said bluntly.
"What's wrong?"
"Because then I can break up with him openly."
"????"
Father Wen Yuxian was completely stunned.
My daughter is obviously enjoying her current status. I see her posting some daily life photos with Li Yuan every day, and I have never heard of any conflicts between them.
Wen Yuxian said, "Dad, please help me pay the penalty. I want to take my account away from Jiutian Media. I need to pay 200 million in penalty. Please transfer it to Jiutian Media's account."
"What the hell are you doing? You need to explain it to me. I can afford two hundred million, but aren't you doing well now?"
Wen Yuxian took out a business plan and said, "I'm going to go it alone! Dad, can you help me acquire Shuguang Capital?"
"What what?"
Wen Yuxian smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Dad. It didn't cost much in total. After receiving 100 million from Shuguang Capital, another 200 million was injected. With my penalty, the total is only 500 million."
"That's 500 million! Do you think I'm Li Yuan? Earning 500 million is like drinking water."
Oriental Lithium Energy only earns around 2 billion yuan a year.
He is the major shareholder, with 40 percent of the shares.
According to this calculation, his family's income is only a little over 800 million.
This was the first time Wen Yuxian asked her family for money, and he didn't know how to refuse.
"Dad, you have to believe me."
"You... let me think about it..."
He didn't agree immediately, since it wasn't something to rush anyway.
But he soon found out that he was wrong.
Because at around ten o'clock in the morning, rumors began to spread on the Internet that he, the CEO of Oriental Lithium Energy, was stood up by Li Yuan.
Then, some people began to reveal Wen Yuxian's identity, the eldest princess of Oriental Lithium Energy and a top female billionaire whose family is worth over 10 billion.
After that, Wen Yuxian posted an announcement on the social platform, saying that she had broken up peacefully with Mr. Li Yuan.
…
When Li Yuan woke up and saw the news, he thought he was just getting too excited and was having hallucinations.
In particular, Song Jiajia directly sent a lot of messages, saying that Wen Yuxian’s breach of contract fee had already been deposited into the company’s account, a full 200 million yuan.
Li Yuan opened Douyin and found that the top three trending searches were all related to Wen Yuxian.
Article 1: Xuemei Wen’s penalty of 200 million yuan for breach of contract.
Article 2: Xuemei Wen and Li Yuan officially announced their breakup.
Day 3: Li Yuan’s arrogance.
He is so arrogant!
I slept comfortably, and when I woke up the world became a strange place?
Anyway, the self-media has gone crazy and has been hyping this topic. Li Yuan seriously suspected that Wen Yuxian bought the hot search, because her fan base was originally stuck at 9 million, but today it directly exceeded 10 million.
The daughter of a wealthy family, a sky-high penalty for breach of contract, breaking up...
These topics are perfect for gossip.
He sent a message to Wen Yuxian: "What are you doing?"
"Yeah, it's obvious. My dad is very angry and asked me to break up with my senior. Moreover, he is planning to buy Shuguang Capital for me and let me compete with my senior."
"Fight in a ring?"
"Well, I hope that senior will show mercy and not cut me too hard. If you are angry, take it out on my dad and bankrupt Dongfang Lithium. Then he will marry his daughter off to make peace."
When Li Yuan saw this reply, he knew that the problem was not with Wen Yuxian's father, but with Wen Yuxian herself.
So he asked, "Are you sure you want to fight?"
"Um!"
"Then I will acquire a lithium carbonate producing company now..."
"Come on, come on..."
