Well, the two financial experts in the telegram scolded this group of people thousands of miles away as stupid forks, but they really had a reason and couldn't refute it at all.

So the deck was quiet for a long time, and finally Xu Zhi swallowed a mouthful of saliva and continued to read the telegram draft:

“…… Therefore, to sum up, the purchase price that the Sulu country promised to give you a discount of five percent is really too little! For them, it's a lot of money.

You should know that they will do whatever it takes to get your real money! As long as you grasp this psychology of the other party, you will have a huge room for price reduction when purchasing materials!

As for the extent of the price reduction, we are too far away from there to not know very well, and there is a bottom line to the extent of the price reduction: that is, as long as the nobles of Sulu think that the purchase price is so low that it will not force the common people to rebel! Got it?!

In fact, the trade system of Sulu is essentially a system of foreign trade and foreign exchange control, and if you want to make more profits, you should make full use of this country's control system to get the maximum benefit for us.

Here, we strongly recommend that you fully understand the local market price by personally investigating and consulting Xue Laixiang and others, and then on this basis, cut the purchase price!

They sit on the ground and raise the price, and we will pay back on the spot - the fists are hard and I am afraid that they will not give in?!

Ba Fengtian, Yu He Wei.

July 9, 1657. Red Mansion. ”

"The water is deep, it's ...... in here"

"Black, really black......"

"! That's never taught in textbooks! Back then, this learning was in vain! ”

"Social ...... It's so social. ”

"it, I feel like I've lived for nothing for decades......"

"The big guy is the big guy......"

After everyone read the telegram sent by the Red Mansion, a group of people couldn't help but sigh, but they didn't know whether these words were talking about the nobles of Sulu or about Lao Ba and Brother Yu, who were thousands of miles away.

At this time, after Gu Jin pondered for a moment, he said to Xu Zhi next to him:

"I guess the Pride has also received this telegram, my opinion is that Ba Lao and Xiao Yu are both people who crawled over in the monetary and financial circles of the old world, although they ended up jumping off the building, but this can't be blamed for their stupidity, it's the ...... Forget it, in short, what Ba Lao Xiaoyu said is very reasonable, it seems that there is indeed a lot of bargaining space for material procurement, let's report it to the Pride and ask their opinions, after all, this matter is more than three in the north and they are operating in specific ......"

Xu Zhi nodded, walked to the side, took out the walkie-talkie, and contacted the Pride.

At this time, the onlookers next to him immediately began to discuss this matter:

"In this way, it is still a conscience to buy things with copper money, no matter what the condition, but after all, there is copper in it......"

"Yes, it's really ruthless to print a piece of paper to buy things directly......"

"It's just that if the people of this Sulu country are suppressed, will they rebel?"

"Then let's make it! What's the matter with us? ”

"In this way, it's really our business!"

Someone apparently meant that this was the case because we came to procure, but of course it was immediately refuted:

"Can't blame us, right? After all, we buy things with real money! If the producer can't get it, the government should be blamed if they want to blame, how can it be blamed on us? ”

"It's just that it's not us who are here to procure, but also someone else!"

"Don't worry, the people will definitely not blame the government, in this era, the ordinary people at the bottom are a bunch of stupid people."

"That's right! It's a big deal that the government tells the people like this that this is the economic aggression of the Australians against them, and then they will find a way to divert the contradictions, pull the hatred or something, and finally make the people hate us, so as to cover up the fact that these nobles monopolize foreign trade......"

"Well, the key is that the people still believe it!"

"That's, and it just needs to be reasonably deduced, maybe there will be a civil boycott of Australian goods, it's hard to say......"

"Then there is no solution?"

Some asked reluctantly.

"There is no plan, unless the nobles of Sulu give up their foreign trade monopoly, so that ordinary people can do business with us freely, and let the common people earn hard currency such as silver and gold."

"Actually, that's pretty good, at least the government's taxes have gone up, right?"

"The problem is that the nobles don't think so, giving up the monopoly of foreign trade is essentially giving up privileges, which is going to have a chain reaction, so it is impossible! People won't do it if they are killed! ”

"Then there is no way......"

"There is also a way, just open it up in an all-round way! Do not engage in monopoly, each give full play to its own advantages, coupled with the wisdom and diligence of the people, and have a thorough free and fair competition! ”

"Naïve ......."

"Lianqing ......"

At this time, the crowd immediately responded with all kinds of sneers.

"No monopoly? Forget it, in that case, what will the nobles eat? ”

"Yes, without all this real money, what can I do to raise an army and slaves to build warships and go to sea to rob!"

……

At this moment, this kind of discussion is also going on on the Pride, just half an hour ago, Zhu Beiguo got the manuscript of this telegram from the Red Mansion at the same time, and he immediately called all the people who were not on duty to the deck together with Li Sanduo, and everyone discussed this telegram for a long, long time.

Like the young people on the Nicole, everyone also had a sense of sudden enlightenment......

At two o'clock in the afternoon of July 10, the representatives of the Sulu State, Haluban and Zheng Fu, arrived as scheduled, and Zhu Beiguo handed them a rectangular silver ingot the size of half an index finger and a gold bar the thickness of a thumb, and he told them that this would be the gold and silver that the Australian Commonwealth would use to purchase and pay.

Then Zhu Beiguo told the two with a serious face that the price of all purchased materials must be lower than 40 percent of the market price, the quality must be excellent, and all taxes and fees must be exempted.

Zheng Fu is a veteran of business, when these pieces of gold and silver entered his hands, he subconsciously weighed them, and then immediately felt that the fineness of these gold and silver was extremely high!

He looked at Xue Laixiang, who was standing beside Zhu Beiguo, and at this time, this old friend was looking at him with a pair of sky-high and cloudy eyes, and said with a slight smile on his face:

"Brother Zheng is confused, after returning, he will know from the gold and silver craftsmen to test the fire consumption, this forty percent discount, there must be no debt!"

So Ha Zheng and the two immediately said goodbye and returned to the palace to resume their lives.

When Prime Minister Suhabidatu first heard that the Australians wanted a forty percent discount, he couldn't help frowning, and secretly said that this Australian was really not a fuel-efficient lamp, and after taking the gold and silver in Zheng Fu's hand and observing it carefully, he was silent again.

At this time, everyone in the main hall, from the king to the ministers, looked at each other, and they didn't know what was going on in the prime minister's extremely clever mind at this time.

Finally, Prime Minister Suhabi gave the king the silver ingots and gold bars, and the latter took them to look at them for a long time, saying that the gold and silver were made in a neat and orderly manner.

Finding that the young king did not know the secret, Suhabidatu felt a wave of contempt in his heart, and he did not respond to the king's words, but turned back to his men and summoned the gold and silver craftsmen to wait in the side hall.

At this time, the prime minister told the king in a deep voice that this was the gold and silver used by the Australians to buy goods, and if Sulu sold all the goods to the Australians, all the gold and silver of this kind could be collected, and the fire consumption alone would increase by more than 10%.

If it is exchanged with the silver coins of Hongmaoyi, it can increase the interest by more than half percent, so that the total profit is nearly 10% 6 or 70%.

Moreover, this is not counting the huge profit from the sale of the goods themselves.

When the Prime Minister said this, he found that the young king still did not understand, so he did not bother to explain any more, but changed his tone to a slightly more sincere tone and said:

This is the way of economy, which is quite like the benefit of money.

Your Majesty is a nobleman, and he disdains this trivial technique, so the minister should deal with it, and if he negotiates with the Australian again, and raises the discount to one percent, not only will he not lose money, but he will also make a lot of net profits......

However, although Prime Minister Suhabi is cunning, Zhu Beiguo's side is not in vain, after receiving the other party's counteroffer, Zhu Beiguo immediately turned his face, he sneered a few times, and even brushed his sleeves away - labor and management don't talk to you anymore!

Before leaving, he also told the two representatives of Sulu that if an agreement to the satisfaction of Australia cannot be reached before 12 o'clock tomorrow morning, then there will be no more agreement, and all the consequences caused by this will be borne by you......
