Chapter 61: The Calculations of the Great Shipowners
When the big shipowner heard that there was a condition, the displeasure on his face disappeared, and he understood what Wang Youzhen meant.
Buying and selling cotton cloth at cost price is just a pretense, and the main purpose of Wang Youzhen's trip is to ask Heidao to do one thing.
It's just that the direct payment of silver has been exchanged for profit.
The big shipowner waved his hand and motioned for the other shipowners to go out first.
When the other shipowners walked out, only the big shipowner and Wang Youzhen were left in the stone house, and they nodded and said, "Say it." ”
"As long as you have enough money, you can say anything."
Wang Youzhen saw the thoughts of the big shipowner, which is also a good thing, and just used this matter to cover up the matter of industrial machinery: "It's not difficult." ”
"It's even just a gesture for Black Island."
Wang Youzhen paused, and said calmly again.
"Destroy the whole Caokou family."
Such a fierce sentence fell on the ears of ordinary people, and they were already shocked by the blood in it.
The big shipowner just smiled lightly, and even smiled a little helplessly: "What should I do, it turned out that I just killed the whole Caokou family." ”
"Don't say that you killed the whole Caokou family, as long as the silver is enough, killing the entire ancestral hall of Caokou is a trivial matter."
Speaking of this, the big shipowner suddenly shouted outside: "Bring the account book and abacus." ”
A cronie of the Koukou with an Oriental sword stood at the door on high alert at all times.
To prevent Wang Erlong from suddenly killing the big shipowner, when he heard the shouts of the big ship, he took the ledger and abacus as quickly as possible.
Hurriedly sent the abacus account book in, and after entering, he didn't come out, holding the fine Oriental knife in his hand, and standing loyally beside the big shipowner.
The big shipowner took the account book and abacus, picked up a charcoal pencil from the red sandalwood case next to him, and began to calculate an account.
After a bag of cigarettes.
The big shipowner Zhu calculated some of the accounts he wanted, and continued: "I don't know how much silver the king's shopkeeper can give. ”
Before Wang Youzhen came over, he had already carried out a precise abacus.
Zhu calculated the approximate amount of silver, which is a more suitable amount.
Money is moving, less is not good, more is not good.
This involves the calculation of people's hearts.
Regarding this point, Wang Youzhen's father really opened his eyes in terms of people's calculations because of the Heidao Haikou.
Black Island Haikou these murderous and unblinking evil ghosts, everything only looks at silver, and wants to be respected by Haikou.
It is necessary to have the strength to convince them, and this strength can be greater than that of the Black Island Pirates.
There's also a better way to use your own prowess to penetrate the entire Black Isle.
This kind of feat can make the Black Island Haikou admire from the bottom of his heart more than the force of force.
It is precisely because of his father Wang Changmu's calculation of people's hearts and the calculation of the mental weakness of Heidao Haikou that the cotton cloth trade is so smooth.
Nine deaths and no life became unharmed.
This time, Wang Youzhen carefully discussed the quota of cotton cloth trading with his father before coming over.
The output of ten hydraulic looms.
Wang Youzhen deliberately pondered for a moment, as if he had made a difficult decision: "12,000 horses a month." ”
When the big shipowner heard the quota of 12,000 horses, he frowned again.
This quota was a little less for him, and he earned an extra five cents of silver for each piece of cotton, which was six hundred taels of silver in a month.
Six hundred taels of silver is indeed a lot, but it is not enough for the whole family who killed Caokou.
Wang Youzhen's next sentence immediately made the big shipowner smile: "So much cotton cloth is not just sold once. ”
"We have a long-term quota, and we can do business for at least one year."
If you can do a year's worth of trading, this quota is very tempting.
Six hundred taels a month, seven thousand two hundred taels a year.
The big shipowner laughed: "Okay." ”
"It's worthy of Wang Erlong's eldest brother, it's really bold to do things, and this matter is decided."
"But ......"
Wang Youzhen heard that the big shipowner suddenly came and gasped, and he felt a little bad in his heart, could it be that this silver was missing.
The big shipowner's next words made Wang Youzhen completely relieved: "However, this matter will have to wait until the first batch of cloth arrives." ”
"After all, more than 10,000 pieces of cotton cloth per month require at least 400 looms."
Wang Youzhen heard the next words of the big shipowner and understood what he meant, this is a shrewd man who does not see rabbits and does not scatter eagles.
It is understandable that 400 looms are already the largest workshops in the entire Changyi County.
The bureaucratic squire who can have this strength does not know how many generations have been accumulated, and how many intrigues and calculations there are in the process.
Where is like Wang Youzhen, only ten water-powered spinning machines are enough.
The big shipowner is worried that Wang Youzhen doesn't have that strength with a mud leg, and he just talks in the vernacular.
But there is a big crisis, Caokou will not be long before it starts, and it will be very unfavorable for Wang Youzhen to drag on any longer.
Wang Youzhen looked up at the big shipowner who looked very bold and laughed, but he didn't have any worries about delaying time.
If nothing else, with the cunning level of these black island pirates of the big shipowners, it is very likely that the news will be deliberately revealed to Caokou.
In this way, the big boats can compete with the fishermen for profit, and try to keep the price of silver even lower.
As long as Caokou doesn't do it first, it's just a silver price war.
Don't talk about a Caokou, even the big Caokou who is in charge of the entire Cao Gang is here, and Wang Youzhen is not afraid.
The silver price of cotton cloth given by Wang Youzhen has been pressed on the cost line, unless the other party has a steam-driven spindle worsted spinning machine.
Wang Youzhen nodded and agreed to this request: "What the big shipowner said is very reasonable. ”
"After all, four hundred looms are not something that can be bought with a casual word."
The big shipowner expected that the other party would definitely agree, so he made this request.
As for whether Wang Youzhen can take out so much cloth, the big shipowner doesn't believe that Wang Youzhen, a mud-legged man, has this strength.
But he believed that the captain of the Helandong India Company would be able to come up with so much cloth.
After negotiating this transaction, which involved more than 7,000 taels of silver, the big shipowner was in a good mood, and laughed and said: "Don't leave today, let's have a drink." ”
Where did Wang Youzhen dare to stay here longer, who knew what Heidao Haikou would do after getting drunk, and said embarrassedly: "Thank you for the kindness of the big shipowner." ”
"I have to hurry to the red-haired ghost and talk about it with the red devil."
It involved more than 7,000 taels of silver, and 400 looms, of course, I had to go back and discuss it carefully with the red-haired ghost.
The big shipowner also understood: "Then it won't be far away." ”
