Chapter 36: Toothpaste for Wool (I)
"How is this thing traded?"
Since it was determined that the goods were good, the difficult building that was not short of money asked about the price.
"Hehe, it's not expensive, a toothbrush is ten Wen, toothpaste is divided into three grades, the lowest box is fifty Wen, the highest box is two hundred Wen, a box of soap is three hundred Wen, the unscented soap is called soap, the cheap box is fifty Wen, and the expensive one is one hundred Wen. Adults can trade horses, cattle and sheep, and their prices can be determined by the market price of Jixian County. ”
Ma Qiang closed his eyes and quoted a price, which basically positioned these goods as luxury goods.
Ma Qiang already knew the price in the market before, millet is only 200 wen a stone, pork is more than 100 wen a catty, and a sheep is only 600 wen.
And Ma Qiang shouted the price, a box of toothpaste costs 200 Wen, which means that a stone of millet is just a box of toothpaste for Ma Qiang, and a stone of millet can already make a young man eat for 20 days.
Think about the cost of this soap... All the people of Damatsu Village seemed to see Ma Qiang's buttocks, and there seemed to be a tail shaking there.
Profiteer!
"Oh? It's not expensive, it's not expensive, I'll give you five war horses, discounted by 200,000 yuan, and you can help me match the goods. ”
It's over, it's a miscalculation!
200,000 yuan, almost all of Ma Qiang's goods can be exchanged.
It's really.... I met a big dog.
Ma Qiang only felt that the corners of his mouth twitched, can you say that what he just said is actually the US dollar in this era, I asked online, I was in a hurry.
Why did I forget, these Wuhuan nobles don't have anything else, just Ma Duo, especially people like Nanlou, they can take out thousands of war horses casually, Ma Qiang does want war horses, but war horses are useless for Ma Qiang now.
The same is a horse, and there are advantages and disadvantages.
The worst is the inferior horse, also called the ploughing horse or the cart horse, such a horse generally has only two requirements, alive, can walk, the purpose is to cultivate the land or small assets of the people to pull goods for their own use, in a place like Youzhou, such a horse can be bought for 5,000 yuan.
Then there are mediocre horses, that is, ordinary horses, such horses are not expensive, they can be bought for 10,000 dollars, and they are generally used to pull carriages or small nobles to ride, and the horses used by ordinary herdsmen in Wuhuan are such horses.
Then there is the war horse, the war horse is a strictly selected horse, the most time to pick one out of ten, the selection is a good explosive, endurance horse, and smart and clever, not afraid of sound, can charge or gallop long distance, this kind of horse is generally used by sergeants, the price is low to 20,000, expensive can reach 100,000.
Then there is a good horse, a good horse has to be one in a hundred miles or even a thousand miles to pick one, generally a small group of horses king, riding either a war general or a big nobleman, the price can reach two or three hundred thousand yuan.
The top is the Maxima, also known as the Pegasus or the famous horse, such as the later Red Rabbit, the claw Huang Feidian, and the Lu are all of this level, this kind of horse is completely accessible and unwanted, and it is difficult to change the daughter.
Like Lin Huan's big black horse, it turned out to be a war horse, but it has been old for so many years, and now it can only be said to be a mediocre horse.
Now Nanlou has taken out five war horses, since they are the war horses used by Nanlou's guards, it is naturally impossible to be inferior among the war horses, and the discount of 200,000 yuan for five horses can be said to be the price of conscience friendship.
But Ma Qiang doesn't want horses now, he wants more cash or sales.
Although the Yellow Turban Rebellion is just around the corner, the real chaos in the world will have to wait until Liu Hong becomes the Spirit Emperor, and it will take six years, so I really don't worry.
Ma Qiang thought about it, grabbed Lu An first, winked at Lu An, and then said to Nanlou, "Meeting is fate, although we live in the mountains, we also know the prestige of Nanlou, and the goods of only 200,000 yuan, what's the harm in sending them to Nanlou?" ”
"Little Pony!"
"No!"
The people in the back are going crazy, 200,000 yuan, they can't accumulate so much money in a year when they are busy working in Dasong Village.
200,000 yuan can be exchanged for 1,000 stone of grain, which is enough for Damatsu Village to save a year.
"Shut up! Listen to you little pony! Lu An glared back at everyone, and then nodded at Ma Qiang.
Nanlou glanced at Yan Rou, Yan Rou smiled and said, "I didn't expect Ma Lang to be so righteous, but we can't wait for Pingshui to meet, I'm afraid this 200,000 yuan is not a small amount for you... I wonder if Ma Lang wants us to help if there is anything? ”
Ma Qiang smiled, clapped his hands and said, "Brother Yan Rou is really resourceful, my master also taught me a sentence, called there is no free lunch in the world, although the 200,000 goods are not much, but they are not small for me, the reason why I am willing to send 200,000 goods for free to adults is not for anything else, but for the hope that adults can be my distributors." ”
"Dealers?" When Nanlou heard this term for the first time, he was a little puzzled, but he also vaguely understood that this was a noun for businessmen.
"Yes, adults have also tried it, and you should know that as long as you try it, whether it is a toothbrush, toothpaste or soap, it is a good thing that you can't give up for the grassland tribes who eat meat every day.
But as far as these people are concerned, I am afraid that they do not have the strength to safely transport the goods to all parts of the grassland, so I hope that the adults will help me transport and sell, and the profits will be divided between the adults and us. ”
Nanlou's eyes narrowed slightly, his fingers trembled slightly, and he began to measure.
Yan Rou's brain was indeed much better than Nanlou's, he whispered to Nanlou, and Nanlou nodded slightly.
"Adults can calculate, we can provide adults with goods worth tens of millions of dollars a year, only eighty percent of the price, and the remaining adults buy at the original price for their own use, or sell at a higher price, as long as the selling price is not lower than our external sale price, so that the profit a year is not only tens of millions, but also can make the tribal herdsmen have an additional way to make money.
And adults don't really have to pay money, they can use wool to pay for it. ”
"Wool? Are you going for cashmere? ”
"Cashmere is naturally best, and other ordinary wool can also be used."
"Plain wool is fine?" Nanlou is interested, this wool can be said to be everywhere in Wuhuan, except for fluff, other wool Han people don't accept it at all, and it's worthless.
Wool used in the textile industry in the Chinese civilization is a long time ago, as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there are records of wool weaving threads and then made into felt cloth, but because wool will have a lot of oil, before finding that the use of alkaline water can remove these oils, it can only be washed with water and rubbed with loess, such methods are extremely laborious, so it is basically thankless to turn ordinary wool into a spinning yarn in this period, it is better to collect fluff to weave.
Therefore, the wool products of this period were either coarse and hard felt cloth, which could only be used as tents or hats, or extremely fine carpets, if they were only used to make tents or hats, then the linen or silk of the Central Plains was cheaper or more gorgeous.
