When he got up early in the morning, Xia Xun felt dizzy, and the strength of the wine didn't seem to have subsided. He groaned, went to the table, grabbed a water bottle, and drank it with a clatter, and poured half a bottle of cold boiled water into his stomach, which quenched his thirst a little.

Yesterday, Argus, a great Persian merchant second only to the lord of the city, Ashina Wolf Xia, was very satisfied with his goods, so he kindly invited him to the banquet hall to talk, where there were many merchants from the Western Regions who were talking loudly,

Naturally, there is no shortage of good wine and beautiful women. For the Persians, wine and beauty always go hand in hand.

They drank all the best wines, Xia Xun's goods were settled, and his heart relaxed, and he could throw his head less to "show" his face, so it would naturally be safer. Until the caravan of the battle returns, it would be safest if he could stay in the hotel in Argus. With this thought, Xia Xun began to fully interpret his new identity.

These big businessmen are both good wine and good "color", Xia Xun naturally can't be out of place if he wants to blend in, so he also did the same, sipping cold grape wine, and he also chose a bewitching Persian dancing girl to serve wine. The girl has jet-black hair, charming, blue, dreamy big eyes, and a light veil on her face that is always difficult to see, but the vague outline of her facial features is definitely very delicate and gorgeous.

Her eyes are fascinating, but what is even more fascinating is her navel eyes. The sturdy and flexible little waist, snow-white and round belly, and the ...... of the "sexy" navel are precisely because of her enchanting belly dance, Xia Xun paid attention to her. He just stared at her little waist for a second time, and the empathetic Dumb ran over and said a few words to the girl who had just finished dancing.

Compared with those guys who are full of brains, Xia Xun's figure and appearance are no different from making people feel good, so the girl looked at Xia Xun with a smile, and walked over generously, what is her name, Xia Xun has forgotten, he only remembers that the enchanting dancer likes to "touch" his strong chest and his mighty beard the most, and likes to wrap around his body like a snake, which makes Xia Xun also "sexual" and vigorous, and wants to take her back to "correct the law on the spot", kill a big ocean horse, and win glory for our people.

However, in the grand ballroom that resembles a bar, the merchants are very interested in him, the new little brother, and everyone will come up with a glass to talk to him and introduce himself. They are all in business, and they pay special attention to making friends with other businessmen, especially those from afar, don't look at Xia Xun's small caravan now, but if a trip is successful, the family property may increase tenfold, and next time they come again, they will be enough business partners on an equal footing with them.

The merchants of the distant region have no competition with them, on the contrary, they can help each other, so they are most enthusiastic about making friends, and almost every one of them drinks amazingly, Xia Xun and every enthusiastic guest have to raise a glass to drink. In particular, when the drunken Argus announced in public that he had packed all of Xia Xun's goods, and that they were one percent higher than the market price, everyone celebrated and "forced" him to drink a few more large glasses of wine.

Originally, although the wine was full of stamina, it may not have occurred at that time, but when the wine was full, the side compartment suddenly played music, and those exotic merchants almost subconsciously writhed when they heard the music, and the Persian dancer was even more interested in dragging Xia Xun down from the dance hall, so after a "chaotic" dance, Xia Xun completely lay down, and the beauty did not eat, and his head was still faintly painful.

Xia Xun finished washing, and when he walked out of the door, he gently stroked his forehead.

As soon as he went out, Dumb flashed out diligently, like a most conscientious servant. He had been waiting patiently under the colonnade for a long time, and as soon as he saw Xia Xun coming out, he greeted him enthusiastically: "Aha, my lord, hello, did you have a good time drinking last night?" ”

Xia Xun smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Happy!" The heads are about to open, and the amount of alcohol from those guests is truly amazing! ”

Dumb squeezed his eyes at him and said with a smile: "Is the master regretting that he didn't enjoy the gentleness of Miss Daisie?" The girl here stayed with her for one night, and the price was very high, and I saw that the master was already drunk, and I was afraid that I would not be able to enjoy it, so I made a good suggestion and did not ask her to serve the master. The lord is going to live here for a while, there is a chance! ”

"Haha......"

"Haha......"

The two men tacitly laughed a few times, and Xia Xun knocked on his head and said, "Oh, by the way, yesterday was not without gain." Didn't Lord Argus promise to buy all my goods? Do you want to contact him and make a settlement as soon as possible? ”

Dumb grinned happily: "Hahaha, my lord, you are really a straightforward person, and this matter has not yet been decided." Master Argus went out early in the morning, saying that he was going to invite an important person to his birthday party, and that he would wait until he returned. ”

Xia Xun was stunned and said, "Not decided?" Last night...... Wasn't it announced in public? Am I mistaken? ”

Dumb smiled: "No, no, no, you remember correctly. But according to their customs, when something needed to be considered and decided, they would first drink a lot of wine, get drunk, and then make a decision. But don't think that things will really be decided on this, when they wake up, they will think about it again and negotiate with you, if the idea at this time is different from the previous decision, then the previous discussion will be canceled, and it is not considered that they have broken their promise. ”

"That's ...... so"

Xia Xun suddenly said: "The decision after drinking is really inappropriate, I knew it was so, I should have negotiated a deal with him yesterday before drinking." ”

Dumb shrugged and said, "It's useless, sir, if they made the decision in a sober state, they would also decide again after they were drunk, and this is the final decision!" ”

Xia Xun was in a daze and muttered, "Really...... Wonderful good habits! ”

Dumb grinned and said, "But don't worry, sir, I can see that Lord Argus is very satisfied with your goods, and I don't think it is likely that he will change his mind." If he obviously likes it, but denies his previous decision for the sake of price reduction or some other reason, it is deception, and in their concept, the most shameful thing is to lie, followed by owing money, so it is unlikely that he will regret it. ”

Xia Xun couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "This is really a good habit, no wonder his business is so big." Although it is said that no business is not 'treacherous', but a person with a small eye can only be deceived and deceived by doing some small business, and if he wants to achieve such a big business, he must be honest and trustworthy. ”

Dumb said: "Maybe, in fact, the only thing they hate is lying, and the reason why they hate owing money is because they owe money to others, and they will definitely lie in the end." Master, do you want to accompany you to go outside for a walk first, and choose the goods that you are going to buy back, so that as soon as Lord Argus settles, the master can buy the goods immediately, saving a lot of time. ”

Xia Xun nodded and said, "Okay, call my steward, let's go together!" ”

The steward he said was Liu Yujue, and Dumb naturally knew it, so he hurriedly agreed: "Okay master, he lives next door to you and has already gotten up." ”

In order not to be too eye-catching, Xia Xun and Liu Yujue went out with the local Tong, and first asked him to buy two sets of more local style clothes for the two, and they were extremely expensive clothes. What Yingzhan gave to Xia Xun was a bag of gold coins that passed through the Western Regions, this bag of money was very rich, Xia Xun didn't really want to do business, he was willing to spend money, this dress was like two local tycoons. The wealthy merchants in the Western Regions are a combination of government, business, and soldiers, and they have a very high status, and they are swaggering through the market, and the young people dare not approach at all, so the two of them have a lot less trouble.

Xia Xun browsed the street scenery at will, and said to Dumb: "Dumb, sir, I am the first time to come back here to do business, although I have heard some introductions from the seniors in the business world, but after all, I have not peeked into the door, and some things are not well understood, do you think, if I sell the goods, what will I buy back is more cost-effective?" ”

Dumb smiled: "Well, it depends on how you choose, master." I don't know if the master's shop is open in the Dunhuang area of Shazhou, or in Ganliang, or in the Central Plains of the Ming Dynasty? In different places, the easy-to-sell goods are different, and the goods that make more money are also different, and it depends on whether you want to buy something that is easy to carry and easy to sell, or is you in a hurry to recover the capital. ”

Xia Xun let out an "oh" and said modestly: "I want to hear it!" ”

Dumb said: "In fact, the Han people come and go to the Western Regions, and the buyers are nothing more than horses and camels, pearls and jade, spices, slaves, iron and other things. Among them, the spices must be stored and not deteriorated along the way, and if they want to earn a high price, they must be sold to the Central Plains. It is not easy to take care of the horses and camels, and a lot of water and grass are needed along the way, but it is easy to sell, and it is only necessary to transport it to the sandbar and sweet and cool, and its own buyers are eager to take it.

If you want to say that the pearl jade and the iron, this thing is easy to carry all the way, but it has to be sold to the Central Plains to make a lot of money, and it has to be a good seller, if there is no store relationship in the Central Plains, I am afraid that it will not be able to get rid of it for a long time. Another is the slave, the slave is also easy to manage, and the sandbank, sweet and cool and even the Central Plains, can be taken off everywhere, as for the price, it is difficult to grasp the high and low, if there is a good female slave, and meet a big buyer, its benefits can be described as the crown of all kinds of goods, but sometimes can not be done, then smashed in the hand, what do you want to buy? ”

Xia Xun thought for a while, and then said: "Zhuyu, iron and slave, just these three things!" ”

Pearls and jades and iron are easy to carry, and slaves, their own "merchant group" is large, it is easy to hide their identity, although Xia Xun thought that the Timur cavalry must have withdrawn when he returned, but after all, he was prepared.

I didn't want to be dumb when I heard it, but I was in awe: "It turns out that my lord, you have a relationship in the Central Plains?" Haha, I'll just say, why are the goods you are carrying are not much, but they are all so exquisite, and Master Ying values you so much, presumably this trip is just to explore the way, right? Since the master has a relationship in the Central Plains, he will also make a lot more money than others by running this trip. Nacheng, sir, look, this Dongcheng is a slave trading area, let's go and see, but there is any favorite candidate. ”
