"20% off?"

When Hasim heard this, his whole heart was immediately moved, and he thought for a while and said: "I need time to sell the goods in my hands, of course, if Your Excellency is willing to accept the goods in my hands, we can trade now." ”

"You don't know what goods you are carrying?"

"If there's something I'm interested in, I don't mind trading it directly."

Liu Jin looked at Hasim, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this local tyrant in the Middle East is a local tyrant, even in this era, he is also a local tyrant, he came to Daming once, and he actually brought goods worth hundreds of thousands of taels of silver over, Liu Jin really wanted to know how big his caravan was, and what kind of powerful power it had, and he was not afraid of being robbed.

"I think you will definitely be interested, this time I came to your country I was well prepared, carrying a very large amount of goods, all of them are good things, and they are worth a lot of money here in Daming, which is why I came to Daming Jingshi, because only in this way can there be enough powerful people to eat my goods and provide me with what I need."

For his own goods, Hasim is still very confident, for this trip to the Ming Dynasty, but he has been preparing for a long time, and has prepared a lot of high-value goods that are popular in the Ming Dynasty.

Ivory from Africa, gemstones from Tianzhu, pearls from the Mediterranean, and precious medicinal herbs from Persia, such as saffron and pepper, were also carried with them a large amount of gold.

The value of gold in the Ming Dynasty is extremely high, and the exchange ratio with silver is almost one to ten, and one tael of gold can be exchanged for ten taels of silver, but in the Ottoman Empire, in the West, although gold is also valuable, the exchange ratio between gold and silver is only one to six.

There is no way, although the Ming Dynasty is rich, but its own gold and silver production is extremely low, especially gold, almost all gold mines have long been excavated, the output is very small, and the rich and powerful people especially like to collect gold, or bring it into the soil after death, which leads to the extremely high value of gold.

In the past, Hasim would bring a large amount of gold to Daming to exchange for silver, and then purchase goods from Daming, which alone relied on this difference in currency value, he would almost make double the profit of a trip to Daming, plus the sale of goods in two regions, this back and forth, the profit was casually hundreds of times.

This is also the reason why he Hasim can casually take out hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, because in this era, every merchant who can do business between the east and the west is really wealthy, and just one trip is enough to get rich overnight.

You must know that these people in the Middle East once made a lot of money just by selling silk and porcelain from the Far East, supporting the prosperity of the Silk Road, and the profits can be imagined.

"In that case, Mr. Hasim, you can first choose the goods and quantities you need, and I have someone ready on my side, how about we make an appointment with a time and a place to trade?"

After thinking about it, Liu Jin proposed that if he took over the goods brought by Hassim, he would definitely be able to make another profit, so that he could make two deals with Hashim, and it was a big business of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, so there was no reason not to do it.

"Great!"

When Hasim heard this, he also nodded happily, he was actually worried about the goods he brought, the quantity was too large, the key was that the value was very large, it was difficult to find a suitable trading partner, and now he could directly complete the sale and buying, and it also saved a lot of trouble, and he was happy to accept it.

Next, Liu Jin began to introduce to Hasim in detail a piece of glass products from ancient and modern buildings, from mirrors to crystal products to handicrafts, etc., there are hundreds of product types, and Liu Jin also spent more than an hour to roughly explain.

Hasim is a qualified businessman, while listening to Liu Jin's introduction, he also carefully analyzed the sales of this commodity, and at the same time, combined with the transportation capacity of his own caravan, the capital situation in his hands, etc., to carry out a comprehensive procurement.

In the end, Hasim did not purchase too many fancy glass products, and the most popular choices were mirrors, the largest of which was the small mirror that was only the size of a palm and inlaid in the makeup box, as for the full-length mirror, the mirror with the dresser and other large mirrors of other specifications and types, but very few were purchased.

This made Liu Jin also couldn't help but nodded, this Hashim is still very shrewd, obviously very clear that this glass is fragile, transported back to the Ottoman Empire from the Ming Dynasty, the road is far away, anything can happen during the period, the small mirror with a cosmetic box is easy to carry because of the protection of the cosmetic box, and it is not easy to break, which is very suitable for long-distance transportation.

Like that kind of full-length mirror is too big, extremely inconvenient to transport, and easy to break, and it will lose money when the time comes, but at the same time, he also clearly sees the value of the mirror, and knows that as long as this thing is shipped back, it will definitely be profitable.

This list of purchases was worth more than 600,000 taels of silver according to calculations, and in the end, Liu Jin was also in charge, and only accepted 600,000 taels of silver from Hasim.

After the two sides agreed to trade on the Xishan side outside the capital tomorrow, Liu Jin also sent Hasim out of the Gujin Building with a smile on his face.

"600,000 taels of silver, these Hu merchants are really rich!"

When Liu Jin returned to the private room again, Zhu Houzhao, who had witnessed the whole process, couldn't help but sigh.

In the past, he still felt that this silver was very valuable, but after following Liu Jin to do business, he found that this silver was really nothing, and the business of this ancient and modern building on the first day of business could be nearly one million taels of silver.

Now a Hu merchant can even take out 600,000 taels of silver to purchase goods at one time, which suddenly makes him feel that there are many, many rich people in the world, but he, the prince, and his cheap father, Emperor Hongzhi and the entire Ming court are the poorest.

"Our Daming treasury has less than three million taels of silver a year!"

Zhu Houzhao sighed and shook his head.

"What is this, when our fleet opens up a route to the Golden Continent, and the gold and silver of the Golden Continent continue to flow into our Daming, you will know that these are not at all important now."

"What's more, you think this Hu merchant is rich?"

"Actually, these merchants of our Ming Dynasty are also very rich, believe it or not, such a large order of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver will be very common in the future."

Liu Jin looked at Zhu Houzhao and said with a smile.

"Faith, I now understand the truth that no merchant is not rich since ancient times, this little Hu merchant is so rich, if we transport our Ming goods to the Ottoman Empire and to Europe, then how much silver can we earn?"

Zhu Houzhao nodded solemnly, and then thought thoughtfully.

"I don't know this, that's why I said, our glass products can't stare at our Ming market, the whole world is very big, as long as we have a caravan, a fleet, we will have a steady stream of wealth."

Liu Jin smiled and shook his head, and then continued to fool the future emperor of the Ming Dynasty, so that he could see the wealth outside the Ming Dynasty with his own eyes, so that he would support external expansion in the future, instead of continuing to follow the old path set by Zhu Chongba.
