Chapter 433: Gold Trading
"Oh God, thank you very much for His Majesty's kindness and kindness, I am honored to ......"
Kairat was stunned, but then overjoyed, and was a little incoherent in expressing his gratitude.
Although he did not know what the title of merchant envoy of the kingdom of such a poor and backward small island nation could do, he knew what it would mean for a country to issue him documents and circulars for business and trade.
At the same time, he will also become the first foreign merchant in the history of the small island nation to trade with it, and will have some special rights.
Just like the two things like a document and a disc, if you put it in the modern world, it may be nothing, because there are laws and policies related to international trade.
But in this small island country where many systems are not complete, it is a priceless treasure, coupled with the status of a merchant envoy, it will be beyond his imagination to make good use of the benefits that can be brought to him.
And then, the old king gave Kairat another bombshell.
Before Kairat's excitement had subsided, he heard the old king say again: "You are lucky to be able to enter this sea area again and come to Octopus Island, and we have also found a way to collect all the information and information from the outside world by learning from the experience of you and the people of Manru and Trist last time.
In the information we collected, we found that the monetary system of the outside world is not unified, and the world uses the US dollar, the euro, and the renmin currency as the main transaction currency.
But I found that the whole world adopts a gold standard monetary system, and Mr. Kairat, as the first businessman in history to arrive at Octopus Island and trade with Octopus Island in good faith, we do not have US dollars or European currency reserves here, since the whole world pursues the gold standard, then we trade with you fairly in gold, what do you think......
Kairat staked his entire net worth several times. What did you come here with a whole shipload of supplies?
Of course, it was for the gold and antiques here, and now after hearing that the old king was planning to trade with him in gold, it was tantamount to a heavenly sound, and Kairat was naturally ten thousand willing.
When the old king saw that Kairat agreed, he was also direct and said that he would personally participate in the transaction. After talking, he took Kairat to the docks.
It's just that on the road, Kairat keeps thinking.
The old king said that they had sent people out to collect a lot of information, which meant that the old king should also know the current international price of gold, which made him nervous and worried.
If the old king had bought his supplies with gold of international value, he would have made very little profit by taking such a great risk to come here.
But on second thought, the conditions and technology here are very backward, and I am afraid that this small island country does not have the technology to purify gold. There should be a lot of impurities, and after the inflated quotation he gave for the materials, if necessary, he could start from the aspect of gold impurities.
And Kairat didn't just bring supplies, he had other things that the old king would certainly be interested in, such as practical technology that was very cheap in the outside world, but which was so much needed here.
After thinking of this. Kairat's heart relaxed a little.
Soon, the old king and his party came to the port again.
Kairat saw his men and crew waiting here. After questioning, the crew and his men told him that in addition to not being allowed to run around, the small island nation was very attentive to them.
But another partner of Kairat complained to him privately, they found that the residents here had antiques in their homes, and they were itching to buy them, but they had no currency to trade. The residents here do not accept paper currency outside, but only accept things like gold and silver.
When Kairat heard his men's complaints, he just laughed them off.
When this material transaction is completed, they will have a large amount of gold in hand, and they can buy antiques from those residents. If you go back and resell it again, the profit will be even greater.
When he arrived at the wharf, Kairat saw that the old king was looking at the large ocean-going freighter, and he felt very useful to the old king's surprised expression of a countryman looking at new things, so he asked: "Your Majesty, if you are interested in such a freighter, I can show you around, and if there is a need in the future, I will find a way to get a few ...... for Your Excellency."
Hearing this, the old king readily agreed, saying that he would definitely give Kairat a suitable price, arms and weapons, and they would not refuse.
Although it was just a casual conversation, Kairat found that if he engaged in the arms business with this poor bird country, he was afraid that he would be more profitable, and his heart suddenly became hot, and he began to think about whether the next transaction chips would be combined with the arms trade.
Presumably, if he gave the old king some cheap weapons and ammunition that were very common and easy to buy in the market, he would have bought them if he had persuaded his army to abandon the spears and broadswords and replace them with modern guns and weapons.
This is the benefit of trading with a small island country where everything is so primitive and poor and backward, everything can be used to make money, but fortunately he is the first person to discover and come to this island!
Thinking of this, Kairat finds himself so lucky and happy that the life of a super-rich seems to beckon him.
……
After personally taking the old king on a tour of the ocean-going freighter, Kairat introduced the various supplies he had brought with him.
In addition to electronic products, other daily necessities, as well as some small tools and other things, are very complete, involving all aspects.
The old king took a few random supplies and looked at them, and asked Kairat about the price, but Kairat's quotation was relatively high.
The old king (Yu Xiaohu) is actually very clear about the value of these things in his heart, although the things that Kairat got are no different from garbage in his eyes, but his posture still has to be sufficient, to reflect in place, he will definitely buy these things.
And the reason why he patiently made himself an actor and played a full set of roles in front of Kairat was to make the process he planned to go more smoothly. Kairat will be a key figure.
And Yu Xiaohu has collected detailed information about this person through a network all over the world, knowing Kairat's past experience and what kind of person he is.
It can be said that this Kairat is a utilitarian, for the sake of profit. This is a person who dares to go up the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire, as long as he is given a little sweetness and benefits, he will definitely trade and sell everything he can get in the whole world.
So after grasping and understanding the information of Kairat and his character, Yu Xiaohu deliberately let the guards accept his bribes in private, and gradually attracted this guy to risk coming with all his net worth.
Now, as Yu Xiaohu expected, this smart and greedy chess piece is indeed very useful.
knew that the quotations of all kinds of materials brought by Kairat were relatively high, but Yu Xiaohu didn't bargain with this guy anymore, and the acting was very sufficient. Showing a very much need for those supplies, even if the decision was made according to Kairat's offer.
Seeing that the old king agreed so readily, Kairat suddenly regretted that the price should have been quoted a little higher.
But even if he was greedy, Kairat knew that it was impossible to go back, otherwise it would make the old king unhappy, and it would be terrible for the chicken to fly and the egg to beat it.
After clarifying the price of the deal, Kairat and his men were very excited, and they were very hard and passionate about their work. Help the people of the island and the guards quickly move the goods off the ship.
After all the goods have been counted, the goods will be traded at the price of gold. Yu Xiaohu paid Kairat a full 2.13 tons of gold.
However, this gold is almost a drop in the bucket for Yu Xiaohu's current millions of tons of gold reserves on the base island.
But when the gold was moved by the guards to Kairat, looking at the pile of yellow gold in front of him, Kairat's eyes were almost all stars, and they all saw it straight.
Stimulated by so much gold, Kairat forgot about his plan to take advantage of the gold's miscellaneous conditions to make discounts.
Forthwith. All the gold was loaded onto the ship, and some people directly offered to pay dividends, and some of the gold was ready to be traded with the island's natives to buy antiques.
Kairat felt that for the first time, he should give these people some sweetness, so that they could serve themselves better next time, and agreed to the offer of dividends. So the group began to divide the gold.
When everyone had received a large amount of gold, they couldn't wait to take the gold and run to the homes of the common people on the island, who had long been optimistic about owning antiques, and asked for gold to buy supplies from each other's homes.
However, on the issue of these antique transactions, Yu Xiaohu secretly hinted at those creatures.
The innocent and honest natives who didn't seem to have seen much of the world had their supplies at home, and when the people of Kairat offered to buy them, the civilians made an offer that made them vomit blood.
However, this offer that made these greedy adventurers vomit blood did not touch the bottom line in their hearts, and hung their appetite like a delicacy, making these people feel pity not to buy it, and they felt that they didn't make much money after receiving it, and they were very entangled.
There are also people who have been soft and hard to soak, but they still succeed in buying it at a price that both parties feel is suitable, some people take the lead, and then the time is relatively tight, the old king does not allow them to stay on the island for too long, and the others have to grit their teeth and buy the antiques they like, and then they are satisfied with the ship.
However, on the whole, the gold and antiques obtained by the adventurers brought by Kairat this transaction were enough to make a lot of money, and these people were no longer entangled when they got on the ship and sailed home, and everyone was very excited to hold their gold and antiques.
It wasn't until the empty freighter sailed to the edge of the sea area of Octopus Island that Kairat obtained from the guards a jade disc given to him by the old king (Yu Xiaohu) and a document written on scalp paper and stamped with a large seal.
Although he did not know what was written on the paper, the meaning of the document and the jade plate was extraordinary, and Kairat regarded it as a treasure and set out on his return journey with great excitement.
As for the method of leaving this sea, Octopus Island has now mastered some skills, and this time without Kairat's bother, the island's guards sent him out of this sea.
……
At the same time, just as Kairat had completed the deal with Octopus Island and happily embarked on his way home.
At the edge of the northern sea area of Octopus Island, I saw that there were several aircraft carriers and warships gathered there, including from all over the world, all distributed in different locations, without interfering with each other, and it seemed that there was a clear distinction.
This place is the area that Kairat's freighter has successfully entered through the weak spatial energy fluctuations on the edge of this sea area.
However, Kairat managed to get in, but after the warships and aircraft carriers from all over the world, or reconnaissance and detection submarines came here, they were still blocked by the strange force as they had encountered before, or they were lost on the edge of the sea area, and finally found that they were turning around and returning to the original point.
"Bastard, damn it, what the hell is going on?"
At this time, on the Texas aircraft carrier of the Mi Army, a black general with the rank of major general slammed an angry punch on the table while roaring and swearing, causing a violent tremor to be heard on the ground.
As a consultant expert, Trist was also on this aircraft carrier after being invited over, but what made him helpless and depressed was that with the method that he and Lu Man could easily enter that sea area before, it didn't work now, and he didn't know what kind of changes had happened, and he couldn't figure it out.
After all, it was finally discovered through satellite monitoring that the Irish man in Kairat had successfully entered the sea with a freighter, and this specific location was also calculated, and the president gave them an order to find a way to enter the sea from here and land on Octopus Island.
It's just that when they rushed over, they found that they still encountered the same problem here, and it had been more than four hours, and they tried their best to get in at all.
The adjutant next to the black general saw that the atmosphere on the ship was not very good, and his boss was also angry, so he said: "General, please don't be too anxious, now not only we have encountered this problem, but also the reconnaissance teams from other countries who have rushed to meet this problem, we can't enter that sea area, presumably other countries can't enter either......"
Report ......
Just when the adjutant persuaded everyone and finished speaking, a non-commissioned officer rushed into the room at this time to make a report, but it made everyone's hearts skip a beat. (To be continued......)
