Chapter 197: The pit man's plan to express his own opinions
Seeing that this matter was over, Xiang Wenxuan spoke again, "Nephew, the boat you want is ready, I don't know what you are going to do?" ”
"I'm going to do some business with Big Silver." Cao Yan said that the big silver of this time and space, in fact, to be precise, is similar to the Jin Kingdom of Cao Yan's space in the previous life.
"Oh, what business is the nephew going to do?" Xiang Wenxuan asked with a frown, with a little reminder.
Cao Yan knew what he meant, although the two countries are now separated by an Eastern Xia State (a bit like the Liao State in the previous life), the relationship between the two sides is also harmonious, but even so, there are so-called embargoed materials on both sides.
The horses on the side of the Great Silver Country are forbidden materials, while the side of the Great Chu is the grain merchants and iron products.
"I'm going to come back in exchange for some cattle and sheep and sell them some luxury goods!" Cao Yan replied.
How could Cao Yan, who came from later generations, not know the power of economic warfare? Don't change their bottoms with these worthless things, are you embarrassed to say you're a crosser? Moreover, after such a long time of understanding, the history at this time is also similar to Cao Yan's space, the development momentum of this big silver country is a bit fierce, according to the history of the previous life, it is estimated that in a few years, this big silver may really destroy the Eastern Xia, and the history of Cao Yan's previous world coincides, and Cao Yan has no strength at all now, and can only go out of the yin, to change ways to weaken the big silver country.
"Luxury?" Many people present had never heard of this word, and obviously didn't understand what Cao Yan meant.
"Well, it's mirrors, perfumes, these things." Cao Yan said two things casually.
Now everyone understands the meaning, these things Cao Yan said have only one thing in common, that is, they are expensive!
"Sir, now these things are not enough to sell, why bother to sell them to Dongxia?" A man on the side asked.
These words made everyone present nod secretly, Cao Yan how popular these things are, they can see for all to see, the things in the store are often out of stock, and sometimes locals have to register and wait to buy them.
And now after the fame is hit, it is even more so, many businessmen are guarding the door of Cao Yan's store 24 hours a day, as long as the things are on the shelves, they will immediately sweep the goods, drive this Cao Yan to sell carriages, and sell them to various places at several times the price.
At present, many wealthy people in Jiangning Mansion are not very friendly to foreign buyers, especially to merchants who go to Cao Yan's store to buy goods.
However, Cao Yan didn't plan to explain too much, but only said: "There are few cattle and sheep in Da Chu, and it is difficult to buy them with money." "This is indeed the truth, if there are more cattle and sheep, there will be no cattle not to be killed, and every time the sheep is slaughtered, the so-called quota can be purchased, people with low status can't buy if they want to, Cao Yan has complained for a long time, there is no barbecue of beef and mutton, can there be a soul?
Now everyone is not speaking, what Cao Yan said is not wrong at all.
"When is the nephew going to go?" Xiang Wenxuan asked.
"The sooner the better, and I hope you can lend me some contacts who have connections over there." Cao Yan said.
After all, they are all shareholders of their own commercial banks, and it is appropriate to contribute to the commercial banks, and if they want to re-develop their own business routes, it will be time-consuming and laborious, and it is better to rely on their ready-made ones.
"Okay, tomorrow morning, I'll send a few stewards from my house, they often run these routes." Xiang Wenxuan did not hesitate, although he felt that this matter was troublesome, usually they traded directly, cloth, tea and other direct exchange for gold and silver, but there was no exchange of cattle and sheep like Cao Yan, but he did not stop Cao Yan, because Cao Yan sometimes had some ideas that he couldn't understand.
"By the way, sir, what about us?" Xia Haibo asked.
"You are the same, lend me some shopkeepers who are so connected."
"No, I mean we're going with us, we need to prepare something." Xia Haibo explained his previous words.
"Don't go with me this time, I'm afraid you'll get seasick." Cao Yan used this excuse to prevaricate, because the last time Cao Yan started at full speed, there were many people among them who were lying on the side of the boat and vomiting dead and alive.
Moreover, this time Cao Yan is going to test the firepower of this ship, how to bring them.
When everyone heard this, although they were unwilling, they also knew that if Cao Yan didn't agree, then it would be useless to say anything, so they could only say in a low voice: "Then next time, when you go to sea, you must take us with you." ”
"Yes, yes! I'll take you with me next time I go out. Cao Yan agreed with a smile.
The feast is gone,
Lin Jiazhuang sent off the last guest, and the door of Zhuangzi was shut.
However, the village seemed to come to life.
On this night, countless people, carrying countless things, took advantage of the night to transport the battleship Yiyueru.
……
Early in the morning, Xiang Yixin came with a large group of people, Linjiazhuang.
Thanks to Cao Yan's carriage, now ten miles like this, you can basically get there with a little nap.
Looking at the shopkeepers who came from the carriage, Cao Yan didn't say anything polite, and directly instructed Lin Xiaoyang and other children beside him: "Send a list to everyone." ”
"Okay!" The children said yes and handed out the papers they were holding in their hands one by one.
The shopkeepers took the paper, quickly spread it out, and looked at it.
Cao Yan didn't speak, quietly waiting for everyone to finish reading.
"Sir, what can this wool be for? Usually these are cut off and discarded on hot days, is this copper coin a pound expensive? Mr. opened a copper coin and five catties, and it is estimated that they all like it. A shopkeeper spoke.
"Well, just change it as you say." Cao Yan nodded, anyway, he was going to pit Yinguo, so the worse the pit, the better.
"Sir, the price of this mirror and perfume is also low, although you sell it at this price with us, but if you exchange it, cattle and sheep, it must not be counted like this."
"Oh," these are all veterans of doing business with them, and Cao Yan will definitely listen to their advice, "Then what do you think should be changed?" ”
"This kind of small mirror, I don't think you can change two cows, at least four sheep, and this perfume, without two cows, I think it's a little bit sorry for the word perfume sir, you don't know how terrible the smell on their bodies is, the perfume must be a bestseller." Another shopkeeper also spoke.
"Hehe, okay, okay, just do what you say." Cao Yan likes this feeling of eating big and slaughtering fat pigs.
"By the way, what is this drunken dream of death sir, I don't seem to have seen Mr. take it out before." A shopkeeper looked at the list and asked suspiciously, there are some cloths and tea leaves in the back, and there is nothing strange about it.
And this drunken dream of death, this word is particularly eye-catching, it is difficult not to be noticed, and Cao Yan also indicated that the price is not low, writing a jar for a cow.
As soon as the shopkeeper's words came out, the others followed suit, and it was obvious that they had already noticed.
But at this time, Cao Yan was doing business, and it was inconvenient for them to interject, and they thought that they would wait for Cao Yan to finish the matter before asking.
Now that the shopkeeper has put it forward, it's okay to add it, and you can listen to it without asking.
Seeing the opinions just put forward by these shopkeepers, Cao Yan also knew that this thing must be put in the hands of people who know how to play the greatest value, Cao Yan counted the people present, so he instructed the people around him: "Go and let people take fifteen altars, drunk and dream of death." He knew that if he wanted to come out for everyone to see, then these shareholders would definitely have to give out a jar each, or he would be a little unhappy with his face.
