How can I buy goods without money?

Do you want to empty the gloves of the white wolf?

This road, naturally, will not work.

At the banquet, the Eastern Roman ministers did not continue to discuss this issue.

They really want the goods of Huaxia City too much.

After the banquet, the Eastern Roman monarchs convened an emergency meeting.

"Archons, we are bound to get the food and weapons of Huaxia City. But now, our treasury is empty, and there are simply not so many gold coins to buy Huaxia goods. I wonder if you have any good advice? ”

It's really trying to get the horses to run and keep the horses from grazing.

How can there be such a good thing in the world?

However, this matter is imperative for them.

The strength of the Arab Empire is growing stronger day by day.

If they don't get food and weapons to support them, I'm afraid that their Roman Empire won't last a few years.

After a long silence, one of the consuls couldn't help but say: "King, I think that the so-called merchant is the existence of five links. ”

"Our Roman Empire is short of food and weapons, so the merchants of Huaxia City have transported these two commodities over."

"And we in the Roman Empire must have had goods that they scarce. Since our treasury is empty, there are not enough gold coins to pay. ”

"Moreover, our gold coins may not be used in their Huaxia City. People don't necessarily charge us for our coins. ”

"In that case, why should we simply barter for something, and I wonder what the king thinks?"

Hearing this method, everyone at the scene couldn't help but be amazed.

That's right, since our treasury is empty, there is not so much money.

So why don't we just exchange our goods for theirs?

That's definitely a great idea!

Constans II nodded and said, "Yes, this is indeed a feasible solution. Well, I'll leave this matter to you. ”

"You will register all the goods of our Roman Empire and give them to the city lord of Huaxia City to choose from. There's always something he's interested in. ”

"In terms of price, you can control it yourself."

Hearing the king's words, the consul could not help but say, "Yes, king, I will do my best to do this well." ”

This matter can be said to be the most important thing in their Eastern Roman Empire at present.

This dictator does not dare to slack off, and all the officials below are aware of the importance of this matter.

So, in just three days, they were able to list all the many and beautifully made goods in their Eastern Roman Empire.

As for those scarce goods, there is no need to take them out.

Because even if you take it out, you can't get much food from others.

Next, the consul personally came to the door and handed over the catalogue of goods to Li Su.

"Your Excellency, Lord of Huaxia City, given that we are communicating business for the first time. There is currently no mutually acceptable exchange rate for our currencies. ”

"So, I think our deal is still bartering as the best way to do it. This is the commodity that is unique to our Roman Empire. ”

"These goods, after you transport them back to Huaxia City, you will definitely be able to make a lot of profits. Hope we have a happy cooperation. ”

After that, the consul handed the atlas to Li Su.

Li Su took the album, opened the first page, and found that the first product they recommended was glass products.

At that time, European glass products had reached a high level of craftsmanship.

If there is no Li Su, it will probably take a few hundred years for Oriental glass products to spread from the West to the East.

And the Roman Empire was also proud of their glass craftsmanship.

Moreover, they believe that these glass products will definitely get a good price.

If this Huaxia City Lord is interested in glass products, maybe they can exchange all the other party's food and commodities for glass products alone.

This is also the thing that the monarchs of the Eastern Roman Empire want to see the most.

And after Li Su saw these glass products, he smiled slightly.

Then when I saw the price of these glass products, the smile on my face was even bigger.

Which consul, seeing this Huaxia City City Lord, had a bright smile on his face, and he also laughed.

There is a way to this matter.

"Venerable Huaxia City Lord, I wonder if you are satisfied with our glass products? I've brought a few samples with me for you to see. ”

"Look, this is the glass we made, like a crystal? So exquisite, so elegant, full of aristocratic atmosphere. ”

"I believe that if it is transported to Huaxia City, it will definitely be sought after. When the time comes, the city lord will naturally be able to make a lot of money. ”

The glass wine glass brought by this consul was the kind of goblet that was common in later generations.

During this period, their production process has not yet reached the point of perfection.

These glasses, some colorless, some colored.

In the colorless, some impurities can still be seen inside.

And in appearance, there are also some rough places.

As for those that have color, the color is not uniform.

But this process is already the limit of what they can do at present.

And the price marked, the price of a glass wine glass, is one hundred gold coins.

In the eyes of the Roman monarchs, this price was not expensive at all, on the contrary, it was still an extremely generous price.

If it is shipped to Huaxia City, they will be able to sell it at least two or three times the price, or even more.

And the smile on Li Su's face was generated after seeing this price.

These Romans really regard this king as a wronged man.

Li Su smiled slightly, and then said to the guards beside him: "Go, bring some of our glasses." ”

Li Su's words made the consul stunned.

What the?

Huaxia City actually has a glass wine glass?

In his heart, he couldn't help but have a bad feeling.

However, he still has a kind of blind self-confidence, and always thinks that even if Huaxia City can produce wine glasses, it is definitely not as sophisticated as the wine glasses they make.

After a while, the guards brought over a few glasses.

Li Su put the wine glass in front of which consul, and said with a smile: "This is the wine glass made by our Huaxia City, I don't know what you think, compared with your glass wine glass, which is better or worse?" ”

As soon as these glasses were taken out, they immediately attracted the attention of a dictator.

Inside, there's a transparent goblet.

The transparency of this wine glass is really good.

It's so good that if you don't look closely, you won't even be able to see this glass.

Crystal clear, there is not a trace of impurities in it.

Which dictator couldn't help but reach out and take the wine glass in his hand.

Then I found that the wine glass was too smooth.

It's not like the wine glasses they made, and when you hold it in your hand, it has a rough feeling.

People's wine glasses, whether in terms of material or feel, have completely exploded their wine glasses.

As for the few remaining wine glasses with color.

The level of craftsmanship of both sides is not on the same level.

People's wine glasses are uniform in color, appropriate shades, and the pictures on them are lifelike.

Their wine glasses, compared to others, are simply one in the sky and one underground.

Thinking of what he had just said, the dictator's face couldn't help but blush.

"Ah, it turns out that the glass craftsmanship of Huaxia City has reached this point, far beyond us!"

These Romans have one advantage, which is that they are not pretentious.

Li Su smiled slightly, and then said: "These wine glasses, as a small gift, give it to you, I hope you like it." ”

Hearing Li Su's words, which archon said in surprise: "Is this true? That's great! ”

"I love this thing very much, it's the best gift I've ever received in my life. I think my wife and daughter will love it too! ”

"Oh, the workmanship, flawless, it's amazing! I believe that God must have made it! ”

Hearing the exaggerated words of praise from the consul, Li Su smiled slightly, and then picked up the atlas and looked at it.

In a short time, Li Su finished reading the entire album.

Closing the album, Li Su couldn't help but say regretfully: "It's really a pity, the goods in this are not scarce in our Huaxia City." Do you have any other products? ”

What the?

Li Su's words surprised which consul.

A whole catalogue of goods, but they carefully selected them.

Huaxia City, how can it all be?

This city lord of Huaxia City, I'm afraid he didn't mean to pinch us, right?

"City Lord, I think, maybe you didn't look carefully?"

"Look at our props, how well made they are, take them home, I think there will be a lot of people who will like them."

Li Su smiled and said: "Coincidentally, we also have this kind of multi-functional knife in Huaxia City, and I also brought one with me, you see, I don't know if you like it or not?" ”

"Oh my God! It's just beautiful! What a masterpiece of God! ”

Li Yu smiled and said, "Since you like it, I'll give it to you." ”

"Really? Thank you so much! ”

"Oh, by the way, look at these fabrics, this workmanship, this color, bring it back and it will definitely sell well!"

"We have silk there. It's just that I'm here this time, and some of the goods I brought with me, you can take a look. ”

When one of the consuls saw the silk with his own eyes, he immediately stopped talking.

The silk of Huaxia City is many times better than their fabric.

As soon as he saw silk, he couldn't help but fall in love with it.

As a result, in the end, Li Su gave him another piece of cloth.

This consul introduced more than a dozen goods in a row.

But in the end, he received more than a dozen gifts.

It was only then that the consul found out.

Huaxia City is much more advanced than them.

The richness of the products of Huaxia City is not comparable to that of their Roman Empire.

It seems that this time his mission failed.

The consul reluctantly took his leave.

When he returned, he had to send a messenger with a gift to King Constans II.

At this time, everyone is paying attention to this matter.

Seeing the consul coming, the king could not help asking, "Archon, how are things going?" ”

The archon was ashamed and said, "I am sorry, king, that I have failed your expectations, please punish me!" ”

Constans II couldn't help frowning and asked, "You have prepared very well, why did you fail?" You will tell me in detail about what happened this time. ”

"Yes, King."

Next, the consul described to the king in detail what had happened to him.

After listening to the consul's description, everyone couldn't help but fall silent.

After a long time, Constans II said, "Present me all the gifts you have received, and let me see them." ”

After a short time, all the gifts that Li Su gave to the consul were presented.

The monarchs and ministers of Eastern Rome all stepped forward and carefully watched the gifts given by Li Su, the lord of Huaxia City.

Every time they look the same, their faces will be ugly.

I have to say that these goods in Huaxia City are indeed better than them, and they are more than a step better.

Huaxia City, I don't know how much more prosperous it is than them!

The goods they have are available to everyone, and they are even more elaborate than theirs.

But their treasury was empty, and they didn't have enough gold.

In this case, how can the two sides do business?

They simply can't come up with the goods that the other person is interested in.

Can't you just let them go for nothing?

Eventually, Constans II walked away.

Before leaving, he said to the consul with an unkind face: "Consul, this matter will be left to you." No matter what, get things done. ”

After Constans II left, the consul's face became very ugly.

So many people, why did they leave this matter to me?

But the virtues of Constans II, he knew.

If he can't do this well, then Constans II will definitely be able to kill him alive.

Next, the consul, taking his own gift, left with a sad face.

The rest of the ministers, looking at the back of the archon, all showed relief and sympathy on their faces.

Fortunately, he is in front of him, otherwise, this errand may be his turn.

This time, I'm afraid he won't have a good time!

……

Actually, what they don't know is.

In the atlas they gave, there were several commodities that Li Su was quite interested in.

Among the gifts given by Li Su, there are several kinds of gifts, which are purchased directly from the system mall.

Its exquisiteness, of course, is many times better than that of the goods taken out by the Eastern Romans.

It's just that the purpose of Li Su's visit to Eastern Rome this time is not to do business.

When it comes to doing business, there are naturally businessmen to do it.

Why bother him, the lord of the city, to make such a trip?

Therefore, Li Su naturally did not show the slightest interest in their goods.

The purpose of this is, of course, to be able to open the trade barriers of Eastern Rome.

After the trade barriers are broken, you can naturally buy whatever you want here in the future.

In the trade between the two sides, Li Su wants to occupy an absolute dominant position.

And now it seems that he has initially achieved this purpose.

Next, it depends on how the other party chooses.

Of course, you can't be too ruthless.

If you take it too hard, maybe you will really scare the other party away.

This is not necessarily his original intention.

The next day, the consul visited again.

After not seeing him for a day, Li Su found that the archon's eyes were bloodshot and his expression was haggard.

Obviously, he didn't have a good night's rest.

It seems that they are very urgent about the matter of trade with Huaxia City.

In this way, Li Su will be completely relieved.

Seeing Li Su, the consul took a deep breath and said to Li Su, "City Lord, we like to be able to trade with you very much. ”

"As long as you can stay and trade with us, whatever you need, just say it, and we can meet it."

Hearing the consul's words, Li Su looked at him deeply, his face was as usual, and he did not show the slightest expression of surprise or surprise.

Li Su's first reaction was that the consul had come to test him.

trick him into telling his true purpose, and then they can formulate a strategy according to Li Su's intentions.

Before he is absolutely sure, Li Su will never say his purpose.

The consul seemed to see Li Su's hesitation.

couldn't help but get straight to the point: "Your Excellency, Your Excellency the City Lord of Huaxia City, our Roman Empire needs to trade with you. ”

"And our king has entrusted me with this errand. If I fail to complete this errand, our king will send me to the gallows. ”

"So, no matter what price you offer, I will do my best to help you, please trust me."

Looking at the archon's expression, Li Su judged that what he said should be true.

Li Su smiled slightly, and then said: "Your Roman Empire really does not have the goods we desperately want. ”

"But seeing that you are very sincere, this matter makes me very difficult."

"It's better to do this, since you don't have equivalent commodities to trade with me, it's better for you to exchange your resources."

Li Su's words made the consul a little incomprehensible.

I couldn't help asking: "In exchange for resources?" What do you mean? ”

Li Su said: "You can use ores and other resources to exchange for food and weapons, and of course, all other commodities. ”

"And these minerals will be mined by our Huaxia City."

"But it's up to us to decide how to mine it. There is also the problem of manpower, we will give the market price to hire labor, and you must not stop it. ”

"Also, we need to build a separate dock to store goods."

"And on this dock, we need to ensure the safety of our goods, so everything on the dock needs to be decided by us."

Li Su thinks that the conditions he put forward are actually very excessive.

This wharf can be built very large and has complete autonomy.

This is already equivalent to a concession.

And their domestic mineral resources are very important resources.

Asking for their mineral resources directly is also a very rude request.

With such conditions, Li Su felt that they would definitely not agree.

Of course, in fact, Li Su didn't prepare for them to agree very happily and without reservation.

The so-called sky-high asking price, pay back on the spot.

These conditions can still be discounted a little.

Then, Li Su heard the consul ask, "Is that all?" Anything else? ”

Well?

Listening to what he meant, it seems that I have put forward fewer conditions?

For a while, Li Su didn't react.

"Well, not for the time being. If we encounter any problems in the future, we can negotiate again. ”

Li Su still didn't know whether what this consul said was true or negative.

Then, Li Su saw that the consul breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he said: "Your Excellency, Venerable Huaxia City Lord, thank you very much for your high righteousness. I will report your request to our king truthfully. ”

"Please rest assured, there is no problem with these conditions at all, and I can give you a packing ticket. It is the most honorable thing for me to work together and to be able to harvest your friendship. ”

Well?

You still have to thank me for making such a request?

For a while, Li Su actually felt that his head was not enough.

It's hard to understand the thinking of the consuls.

However, it is definitely a good thing for him.

After doing this, you can establish a stronghold in the Eastern Roman Empire in the future.

Li Su believes that Eastern Rome will become more and more inseparable from them.

……

The archon walked out of the room, and the smile on his face could not be suppressed.

It's all right, it's all right.

I really didn't expect that this city lord of Huaxia City was really interesting.

Hearing that his exit was not good, he only put forward such a simple condition and let him pass the customs.

Their country's minerals, anyway, are abundant, just dig them up.

Anyway, they don't need it at all.

With ore, they can exchange it for food and weapons, and they still mine it themselves, they definitely make a lot of money.

This account, how to calculate how to cost.

He did this thing so beautifully.

Of course, the main thing is the city lord of Huaxia City, enough friends.

What a friend!

Not only did he give him so many gifts, but in this matter, I heard that he was in trouble, and it helped him a lot.

Uh, I have to say.

There is an illusion that I always feel that I am the protagonist, and I have the aura of the protagonist.

It is only natural to think that others are helping you.

And he himself, too, is not ungrateful.

In the future, if the city lord of Huaxia City encounters any difficulties, he will definitely help him.

In short, this friend, he made it.

Then the consul went with joy to the king.

Of course, when he made an appeal to the king, the consul would not say that the lord of Huaxia City was his good friend.

It's for the sake of friends that people make such big concessions.

In the mouth of the consuls, all this became his credit.

He moved with affection, understood with reason, and tried his best to make the city lord of Huaxia City give in again and again.

In the end, only such simple conditions were proposed.
