Chapter 238: It's All Here
Seeing the greedy eyes of the Hu merchants, Sun Xiangfu was very satisfied, he was not greedy, how could he be willing to work hard to collect the goods he wanted!
"That's right, what you see is a mirror, this is a treasure given to Datang by God, and the number of it in the world does not exceed this number." Sun Xiangfu stretched out one of his palms and said.
No more than five sides in the world?
This is definitely the rarest item that these Hu merchants have seen so far.
They didn't know that if Sun Xiangfu was willing, he could add countless zeros to the end of this five words, so he didn't say that it was five sides, but just gestured a five words with his palm.
"It's so scarce and invaluable that it's not a commodity." After many Hu merchants in the Western Regions watched a round in front of the mirror, Sun Xiangfu said again.
"Not a commodity?"
The Hu merchants were surprised, it's not a commodity, what are you doing with it?
"Yes, if it's a commodity, you people here can't afford it. So, it's a prize. ”
"Prizes?"
At this time, the Hu businessmen were even more surprised. In their interpretation of the Chinese dialect, there is no difference between a prize and a gift, could it be that this Sun Duhu wants to give this peerless treasure to one of them among these Hu merchants?
All the participants were excited at the moment, and some even fantasized that after they got this peerless treasure mirror, they would return to China and dedicate it to their king, in exchange for a marquis, or even a duke.
"And who are you going to give this mirror to?"
Arsake asked all the Hu Shang from the bottom of his heart.
"Next year, the person who will be able to provide me with the most goods on these lists." Sun Xiangfu pointed to the list he had sent to the Hu merchants earlier.
Hearing that this thing will not be given to them until next year, Hu Shang suddenly woke up from his fantasy, and what he was thinking about was how to collect the above things after he went back.
The brains of businessmen are quick to react. Among them, some people have already thought that if you want to collect more items on the list, you must first have more wealth, so how to have more wealth? Bringing more goods back to China for sale is one way.
Therefore, Sun Xiangfu just threw out a mirror reward as a bait, but it played a role in catalyzing the sale of all goods, and the Hu merchants no longer picked and picked, what they want to do most now is to borrow all the goods of Shanyang into their hands, anyway, these things are shipped back to the Western Regions, it is just a matter of how much profit they make, and some of them are properly earned.
After the Hu businessmen thought about it with their brains, Sun Xiangfu said again, "It's not early today, so let's get here first!" You asked the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate to do the loan guarantee for you, the governor agreed, this mirror, will be displayed here for three days, the governor will send officials here for you and the agreed merchants, sign a loan agreement, these three days, you as soon as possible to negotiate the need to purchase the goods that need to be borrowed, after all, in the north of our Shanyang, it will snow before October, and the road after the snow is not easy to walk. ”
After saying this, Sun Xiangfu left the hall under the congratulations of the Hu merchants, the reason why he gave the Hu merchants a time limit of three days, one is because the shorter the time, they who are eager to reach an agreement, will give a higher purchase price.
The second reason is that Li Jing needs to set off quickly, otherwise, it will not be good when those sons of the family notice the strangeness of the army.
Xue Li and hundreds of pro-soldiers were left on the third floor of the Wangjiang Tower, and the outer three floors were guarded by the mirror, and Sun Xiangfu returned on horseback.
There is a reason why he puts the mirror like this, sometimes, the more grand you look at this thing, the more people feel that it is precious, not precious, will it need so many people to guard it day and night?
When Sun Xiangfu hadn't returned to his mansion, many people from wealthy families who had already rushed to Shanyang to stay knew some news about the product promotion meeting, and the mirror had also become something they wanted to see.
In order to protect the mirror from breaking, and to prevent the process behind the mirror from being cracked, Sun Xiangfu asked the craftsmen to use a metal mirror to stain the back of each mirror and frame it to death. If you want to know what is on the back of the mirror, you must have the courage to break the mirror, which is a value trap, I believe that no one will take the initiative to break it before the mirror and glass are not overflowing.
In order to squeeze the benefits of this commodity, Sun Xiangfu strictly limited the number of glasses fired by several craftsmen, in addition to being used for telescope research, the mirrors made were only four or five in total, one side of the palace, one side of Yu Xiuer, one side in the hall of Wangjiang Tower, and one side, Sun Xiangfu took it out for auction when he was preparing for the investment promotion meeting.
When he returned home, Yu Xiuer thoughtfully prepared a supper for him.
"Husband, tomorrow the concubine is going to go to the drama theater to see."
"What? Want to sing again? It's okay, just go if you like it! Your husband has hard wings now, and I am not afraid of those imperial impeachments, as long as you are happy, it will not be a problem for your husband to give you a hand. ”
Meimei took a bite of honey lotus seed soup, and Sun Xiangfu's words were sweet and warm with the soup conveyed from it.
"It's still not necessary, my father said, you are young, it is not easy to get to such a position, and the concubine should try her best to maintain the dignity of her husband." Hearing this, Yu Xiu'er smiled sweetly, but after thinking about it, she still twisted.
"What decency? To be touted by those rotten people is called decent? You are wrong, the education of the husband is different from theirs, and it is not a person at all.
Moreover, the system they are talking about is not a pure thing.
When your husband can bring them greater benefits, even if you go to the stage to sing the ghost crying wolf, they have to applaud you obediently under the stage. ”
Speaking of this, Sun Xiangfu couldn't help but think of the singing of Boss Ma at a large-scale performance site in the later generations, that level, KTV level belong to the middle and lower reaches, and the sound of applause is a tsunami.
"Husband, you hate it, who sang the ghost crying wolf howl······"
"Uh, hehe, the words are inappropriate for the husband, they are not honest and applaud in the audience, and the husband will call them ghosts and wolves, come and come, the husband just has inspiration, write a few new songs for you on the spot, maybe they can be popular on the grassland······"
In the middle of the night, the exchange between the two ended in a glamorous picture, but they didn't know that a little girl who had just come to Sun's Mansion as a guest was overexcited and accidentally listened to their wall roots, so the next morning, Yu Xiuer was sad, and Dongzhu insisted on pulling her to learn to sing with her.
Sun Xiangfu went to Yamen early in the morning, things did not surprise him, in front of interests, these Western Regions Hu businessmen are very energetic, this morning at dawn, Hu merchants flocked to the commercial street, first starting with the perfume essential oil shop, then wine, sugar, honey and so on, even the ready-to-wear wholesale shop did not let go.
The shopkeeper of the shop was invited to Wangjiang Building by them, signed a loan agreement, and even the stores of traditional goods opened by those families have made a lot of profits, taking a shop opened by Wang Xu as an example, the price has always been more than one pound of cumin, that is, the cumin that Sun Xiangfu said, the value of this thing in the Western Regions, converted into Datang copper coins, at most three or four hundred Wen a catty, after being transported to Datang, the price has always reached more than two times.
But this time, they bought a lot from Wang Xu's shop, because the wholesale price given by Wang Xu's shop shopkeeper was only one hundred and fifty wen a catty, and they could sell it to the tribes of the grassland at several times the price along the road, even if they brought it back to their homeland, they could earn more than double the profit.
The reason why Wang Xu lowered the price of cumin to such a low level was because he was frightened by more and more cumin in his warehouse, and secondly, because Sun Xiangfu persuaded him that the growth of 800,000 mu of spice fields was too good, and the harvest directly reached one million stones.
After all, there are only a few people in Datang who can eat high-priced spices, and they can't digest so many spices at all, and it is not surprising that next year, there will inevitably be more spices that can be produced in his spice field, so that in addition to exports, only by reducing prices and allowing the whole people to enjoy spices, can the output in his field continue to be sold.
Of course, this is also in Shanyang, the place of origin, Wang Xu in addition to harvesting, basically no transportation costs, and it is a large batch of wholesale sales, if in Chang'an, Shu Zhongdi, in addition to the cost of freight and middlemen to make the difference, its retail price may reach more than 300 Wen a catty.
How much is the output of more than one stone of one acre of spice field, and the output of about one million stone of 800,000 mu of field? This is more than 10 million yuan, and the number is big enough for Wang Xu's heart to jump.
Therefore, Wang Xu, who was in a good mood, did not wait for the harvest in the field to be completed, so he sent 10,000 stones of spices to Sun Xiangfu's mansion, and in addition, he also took dozens of good gold, silver and jade artifacts to the past, and he himself came to the Yamen of the Duhu Mansion and Sun Xiangfu's office in a majestic manner.
"I said, you have something good, why don't you want to sell it to my son, the mirror in Wangjianglou, you can open it at any price, and my son wants it."
"Hehe, it turned out that the local tyrant had arrived, and he was disappointed! Aren't you busy harvesting spices in the field these days? How do you have time to hang out with me. ”
The two laughed and saluted, and the person in charge of serving served milk tea and dried fruits.
Wang Xu was very receptive to the new furniture in Shanyang City, and after sitting down on the Taishi chair opposite Sun Xiangfu, he took milk tea and said, "My father asked me to give you a post, the heads of each family want to meet you." ”
"Everyone? How many are there? Sun Xiangfu asked, he didn't expect that the heads of the major top families, the patriarchs were all here, and the specifications were so high, it was a little unexpected for him.
"Fan Yang Lu, Xingyang Zheng, Qinghe Cui, Boling Cui, Zhao Jun Li, and even Longxi Li are all here."
"Really? Then your Wang family's spices must have sold a lot in the past few days! When Sun Xiangfu heard this, he sighed in his heart.
Other families can say that Longxi Li, who has always been detached and lives in the emperor himself, is also involved this time, you know, Li Yuan is one of the Li clan in Longxi.
"Otherwise, I'm going to buy your treasure mirror! What do you think? Make a price, 100,000 and 200,000 in cash, and this son can take it now. Wang Xu said a little proudly.
"Hehe, if Wang Gongzi knew the reason why these people bought spices, I'm afraid he wouldn't be in the mood to come to me and shout to buy mirrors." The corners of Sun Xiangfu's mouth hooked, and he looked at him with a meaningful look.
"How?" Wang Xu was surprised when he heard this, can't the spices be sold?
"Wang Gongzi, you are about to make a profit of 10 million yuan this year, can they not be blushing? A large number of spices were purchased, in addition to some for food, I guess they also gave rise to the idea of planting their own, if everyone planted spices, then, next year, the spices planted by Wang Gongzi are estimated to be sold at the price of grain at most. ”
Provocation, this is naked provocation, but Wang Xu feels that Sun Xiangfu said these words for his own good, because he is indeed trying to find a way to help himself keep his vested interests.
