The Human Emperor Chapter 20: Novelty general sales agent
"How do you sell Hyderabad Ore?"
Wang Chong asked, looking up.
"We are not simply selling ore. First of all, we do not accept five-zhu coin, copper coin, silver, silver coin of Central Plains does not circulate in our Sindhi. But gold and jewelry are acceptable!"
Two monks said.
Wang Chong nodded. This is the same as those of the Hu's traders in the Western Region. He is not surprised at all.
"In addition, we do not accept individual retail sales. If Young Master is just hunting, want to buy a few play, or buy in small batches, please forgive us. Young Master still leave as soon as possible."
The two monks spoke of seriousness later. The two were not far away. Central Plains didn't want to sell two ingots of silver and make a few small bucks, but wanted to find a big customer.
This is their mission.
"Finally, if a transaction is concluded, at least half of the payment will be made with food. This is the most important and a prerequisite for our transaction. If we can do this, we will be regarded as a true cooperation Partners. "
"And you and your family will also receive all our Sindhi People respects and thanks, we Hyderabad will continue to you!"
...
The two Sindhi Monk were serious.
"Ah?"
Wang Chong whispered, a look of surprise.
It is understandable not to accept five-zhu coin and copper, silver, and silver, but it is required that at least half of the loan in the transaction should be replaced by grain. This is really unexpected for Wang Chong's!
How can I replace food with food?
Wang Chong began to think that the two monks were joking, but seeing the serious look of the two, Wang Chong knew that they were serious.
"How is that?"
Wang Chong's minds are one after another, which is arguably the strangest transaction content he has ever heard. However, looking at the eyes of the two, Wang Chong's heart moved, and a deep sediment suddenly appeared in the depths of his head, reminding me of some forgotten memories of previous life:
Sindhi and Central Plains are different!
There is a large population there, but it is far less wealthy than Central Plains.
According to Wang Chong's, Sindhi spends most of its time in extreme poverty, war, darkness and chaos. This also explains why Sindhi has such rare strategic resources as Hyderabad, but has never used it by itself, but sold it all over the world.
They need food, and it's a lot of food!
Half is actually a secret. In fact, if they can, I'm afraid they all want to switch to grain and bring it back to Sindhi.
Thinking of this, Wang Chong's mind gradually became clear.
According to memory, if there is no accident, Sindhi is in trouble ***. The two monks came from Sindhi with huge appointments on their shoulders.
No wonder they are not interested in small transactions at all.
"... But this is not easy!"
Wang Chong frowned, but remembered something.
As long as you have money, in theory, everything can be purchased in Great Tang. The problem is that Great Tang is food controlled. A grain of rice and a millet are difficult to sell easily abroad.
"People depend on food", in fact, it is not just Great Tang. Going forward, regardless of any dynasty, strict food control was implemented.
These two monk want to use half of the grain to replace the loan, which is tantamount to a problem for Wang Chong. Selling food abroad without permission is a dead end!
Only this one, I am afraid that no one in the whole Great Tang can satisfy these two monk.
Wang Chong came to reflect this. The strategic resources such as Great Tang and Wootz Steel of the previous generation were missing and there was no reason. The conditions of these two monks are by no means easily met by anyone.
Wang Chong is deeply tricky.
But it is impossible for him to give up Wootz Steel like this!
"... don't tell me is so cheap for those Caliphate People?"
Wang Chong frowned.
But he knows that Caliphate will become a confidant of Great Tang in the future. If these people and a large number of Hyderabad Ore, it is bound to be even more powerful.
And more importantly, Wang Chong knows that this is not his own fantasy, but the fact that happened in the last life already.
If you can eat a lot of Hyderabad Ore, not only can you benefit from it, but you can also weaken Great Tang's opponents virtually.
"No, Caliphate People is not eating rice!"
Wang Chong moved in my heart and suddenly remembered something.
Caliphate People does not eat rice. They eat a huge date, and further north, the grassland of Turkic never grows any grain.
But Hyderabad monks also sell ore in these two places.
Obviously, "grain" in Sindhi People is very different from "grain" as understood by Central Plains people. You know, Sindhi is now in a famine. As long as you eat it, there are so many accountants.
Obviously, if this is not noticed, it is likely that the food control strategy of Great Tang will collapse.
Thinking of this, Wang Chong was suddenly excited.
"Two masters, can you eat apples and plows?"
Wang Chong asked suddenly.
Both monks are in shock. But he nodded slowly. They adjusted checked, Central Plains people to eat this kind of rice is very suitable for Sindhi People, if you can send a large amount of this grain to Sindhi, this is the best.
But if it doesn't, it's the same as switching to other food.
Sindhi, but now is in famine!
"What about bananas, millet, and sorghum?"
Wang Chong continued to ask, looking excited.
"That's fine too."
The two monk glanced at each other and nodded. As long as you eat, where is the accounting.
"Ha Ha Ha, what about cows, sheep, and camels?"
Wang Chong laughed and thought further.
Great Tang regulates food, but cattle and sheep on the grassland are not regulated. In the territory of Turkic People, there is a vast expanse of this kind of livestock.
If these monk want a lot of food, they can completely bypass the national policy of Great Tang and borrow people from Turkic to meet their needs.
This is a great workaround.
"If there are cows and sheep, it would be better."
Two monk channels.
Compared to apples and plows, which are difficult to collect, "grains" such as cattle and sheep are undoubtedly more popular. As long as they can solve the famine problem of Sindhi, what they really are, they actually don't pay much attention.
"If Young Master and the family behind you can accept this, then we can continue talking."
The two monks looked at Wang Chong, obviously more interested than before.
"What about the price?"
Wang Chong laughed.
The first consensus was reached, and the atmosphere on both sides has obviously eased a lot.
"If you price Central Plains, Hyderabad Ore is about 300taels of gold!"
The two honestly said.
"300taels of gold? !!"
Wang Chong looked at the two and was taken aback.
"How? Expensive?"
Seeing the expression of Wang Chong's, the look of the two Sindhi monks suddenly sank:
"300taels of gold is our low price! It is impossible to drop it again!"
"I thought we could reach an agreement. If we can't accept this price, we can't cooperate.-It seems that you and your family are not our true partners!"
...
The attitudes of the two Sindhi monks were much colder, and they made a 180-degree turn before. The price of 300taels of gold is the most suitable price that everyone gathered before set off.
High Priest already clearly states that if it is lower than this price, it will never be executed.
Hyderabad Ore is different from ordinary iron ore, and it is impossible to sell it at the ordinary iron ore price. Before coming to Central Plains, they also visited many other places and met many people.
Among those who can speak fluent Sanskrit like Wang Chong. At the time they heard the price, and they reacted the same way as Wang Chong.
If you can't understand the real price of Hyderabad Ore like them, then these transactions can't be discussed anymore!
"It seems that Central Plains is not the right place for Hyderabad Ore!"
The two coldly said, they want to turn and leave.
In the months of Central Plains Great Tang, in fact, already determined that this place was not suitable for Hyderabad Ore sales. According to their plans, they will return Sindhi in a few days.
When they first met Wang Chong's, the two thought they would be different. Unexpectedly, the result is still the same.
The Wang Chong's response now has prompted the two to be more certain of the initial decision.
—— Central Plains is really not suitable for Hyderabad Ore!
"Wait a minute! You two misunderstood, two masters!"
Seeing two monks turn around and leave, Wang Chong can't help crying, beckoning again and again, stopping them.
Yes! The price of Hyderabad Ore is indeed very expensive, and it is not generally expensive, it is very expensive and expensive!
If 300taels of gold is used to buy other iron ore, I am afraid I can buy dozens of cars. Buying iron ore at this price is definitely a luxury.
However, with the memory of the previous life, Wang Chong is deep. The price of these Hyderabad Ores in later generations will reach a terrible tens of thousands, or even tens of thousands of taels of gold.
And there is still a price but no market, you can't buy it if you want to buy it!
Two monk don't know, Wang Chong is not too expensive, on the contrary, Wang Chong is surprised at its cheapness!
Compared to the sky-high prices of later generations, the current Hyderabad Ore is simply the price of cabbage!
Wang Chong never thought that this ore was so cheap at first!
Of course, Wang Chong will not be stupid to say it by itself.
"Two masters, a price of 300 gold, I can accept it!"
Wang Chong simply.
Hearing this sentence, the two monk look awkward, so they stopped:
"Although 300 gold Yijun is not cheap, our" Jun "in Sindhi is different from your" Jun "in Central Plains. In Central Plains, you are only 30 pounds, but our Sindhi is" Dajun ", It ’s 50 pounds! It ’s much bigger than your Central Plains ’s — the Hyderabad Ore in your hand is just one! ”
One of the monk said he seemed to want Wang Chong to feel better.
Wang Chong smiled. Of course he knew the difference between Sindhi and Central Plains. However, one of the two Sindhi Monks is wrong. The Central Plains does not have thirty pounds. The actual maximum is only two and a half pounds.
In this regard, Sindhi People is quite sincere.
Furthermore, 50 jin of raw ore 300taels of gold is converted to 1 jin for 6taels of gold. Frankly speaking, this is really the price of cabbage.
I really was the best time to catch up with the Hyderabad Ore market!
"There is no problem with the price, we can talk about business next."
Wang Chong said. After meeting the requirements of these Sindhi Monks, it's their turn.
"As long as you can accept our conditions, of course the other is no problem. How many ore do you want?"
Two monk channels.
"No, no! Two masters, you have misunderstood!"
Wang Chong stretched out a finger, shook it, and smiled:
"I came to talk to you with great sincerity. However, you are mistaken in one point. What I want is not much jun (15 kg) of ore. Jun ..., what I want to buy is your general sales agency right of Hyderabad at Central Plains, or even the entire Eastern World! "
Wang Chong throws out his own conditions!
What's the meaning of a broken deal? What is the meaning of buying a Jun, two Jun, or even a hundred Jun, a thousand Jun Hyderabad Ore?
A single Hyderabad Ore simply cannot form a powerful combat force, nor can it fundamentally enhance the strength of Great Tang.
Wang Chong's ambitions are much bigger than this!
—— Wang Chong wants the Sindhi Hyderabad mountain ore for decades, even hundreds of years, until it is mined.
