Li Chengyan asked with a confused face: "What is Mr. Cohen talking about?" Why did I hurt you? Fushou paste is such a precious thing, I invite you to taste it, this is still harmful to you? ”

Cohen said: "Li, you should know what the consequences of smoking Fushou Paste will be, and I happen to know it too, because I have seen what people without Fushou Paste are like." ”

After being exposed by Cohen in front of him, Li Chengyan didn't even owe half a point of embarrassment on his face, but said with a smile: "Well, Li really doesn't know." It's just that Li Mouguan is in a humble position, and he only knows that this is a good thing that can only be enjoyed by big people.

However, in any case, the value of the Fushou paste is twenty taels of silver, and if Mr. Cohen does not believe it, he can send someone to inquire.

You know, in addition to my Daming, there are many countries that are also producing Fushou cream, but their quality may be much worse. ”

Cohen didn't feel strange about Li Chengyan's performance at all - in the last negotiation, the good guy and the bad guy all let the guy in front of him play alone, and if he wasn't thick-skinned enough, he couldn't do it at all.

After smiling and nodding, Cohen spoke again: "Then, even if I accept your statement, the Fushou paste is worth twenty taels.

But I'm representing the East India Company, what a big deal is it? You should know, so, I should get a better price, such as twelve taels of silver is very reasonable. ”

Li Chengyan snorted and laughed: "Then how to settle it?" Two laborers, plus two legs or two hands?

I think that since there is such a large purchase volume, and it is not easy for me to provide so many Fushou ointment, so twenty-five taels of silver is a more suitable price. ”

Cohen was obviously a little confused, and hesitated: "Lee, how do you calculate this?" The more you buy, the cheaper it should be, right? ”

Li Chengyan said with a smile: "Then if you buy separately and many times, you will pay more time and energy."

My Emperor His Majesty once said that time is silver and life.

So, for the sake of gold and silver and life, what is the point of paying a few taels of silver? ”

Cohen's face suddenly turned ugly: "Li, there is no business like yours."

If you continue to talk with such an attitude, I don't think it's a good thing for us, and it's also a waste of time, that is, a waste of silver and life! ”

Li Chengyan's face remained unchanged, and he still smiled and said: "Look, if friends make a joke with each other, doesn't it enhance friendship?"

In fact, the price of 20 taels for you is the real price, without the slightest moisture, that is, the reserve price.

If I really want to cheat you, I can quote the price to thirty taels of silver at the beginning, and then slowly bargain with you until twenty taels of silver, and then you will feel that you have taken advantage of it, right? ”

Cohen nodded, "Yes, it does." But Li, do you think I will continue to talk after I hear the offer of thirty taels of silver? ”

Li Chengyan said indifferently: "So what? It doesn't matter if you really want to make this big deal happen or not, after all, since you are here, you have already shown your sincerity.

However, even if this business cannot be negotiated, Li will still be a high-ranking nobleman and an official after returning to Daming, and he will not be punished in any way.

On the contrary, my Emperor His Majesty will think that your country is playing tricks on the Ming Dynasty and wasting the Ming Dynasty's time. Guess what kind of reaction my Emperor Ming will make? ”

Listening to Li Chengyan's words that were half persuasion and half threat, Cohen wanted to use a knife to cut people - it's too fucking a bully, there's nothing like this when talking about rebellion!

However, Li Chengyan didn't pay attention to how ugly Cohen's face was, but didn't care about taking a sip of tea, and said with a smile: "Mr. Cohen, can you talk about it now?"

I think the price of 20 taels is very fair, and we should focus our time on other topics, such as, how many goods can you buy at one time? ”

Cohen took a deep breath and calmed his fury.

At the moment, he is begging to buy Fushou ointment, which is equivalent to sending the fat sheep to the wolf's mouth by himself, and it is impossible not to bite off a piece of meat fiercely.

But everything is still talkative, isn't it?

The most important thing is that even if you accept the offer of twenty taels of silver, you will still have a lot of profit - slaves are not as much as you want? If you don't have it, why don't you just catch it?

The big deal is to set up more slave catching teams and pay more wages.

After calming down, Cohen continued: "Li, I think we should talk about these issues, not only the question of how many goods, but also the question of price.

If you can't accept the price of twelve taels, I think fifteen taels is more appropriate, what do you think? ”

Li Chengyan said with a smile: "Mr. Cohen, as you said, you treat me as a friend, but in fact, I also treat you as a friend.

So, from the very beginning, I told you directly the real reserve price - twenty taels of silver.

In fact, there is nothing to talk about this, twenty taels is twenty taels, because all the Fushou paste I sold in the Ming Dynasty was at the price of twenty taels.

If you can't agree to the price, then there's no need to talk about it later, because I don't have the authority to reduce the price at all. ”

As a Da Ming Tong, Cohen's understanding of Da Ming gives Cohen a lot of understanding of Da Ming - for example, Emperor Da Ming is full of words, life and death.

If Li Chengyan really didn't get the authorization, then his unauthorized price reduction behavior might indeed bring him death - but with such a big business, how could he not be authorized!

After taking a deep breath, Cohen continued, "If that's the case, why don't you ask the emperor of your country first?" See if he can agree to a price reduction? ”

A strange smile appeared on Li Chengyan's face, and he stared at Cohen and said, "Mr. Cohen, I'm afraid you don't have any misunderstanding about my Majesty the Ming Emperor?"

As soon as the Son of Heaven said it, it was an iron law, and if it was said that the price of twenty taels was definitely the price of twenty taels!

In fact, it's not that I'm willing to quote you the reserve price from the beginning, and it's not that I'm unwilling to reduce the price, but since the Son of Heaven in my country said that it was twenty taels, it can only be twenty taels.

No matter how much goods you want, it can only be the price of twenty taels, and the difference between them will not work!

So, we should talk more about this volume, for example, I can find a way to get you more goods. Of course, in return, you know? ”

When Cohen heard this, he immediately smiled meaningfully, and said with a smile: "Of course, all this is easy to talk about, and it can be discussed!" ”

The price of twenty taels is not negotiable, but what is the difference between getting more Fushou paste every time and reducing the price?

Even if you give some bribes to this bastard in front of you, what can it be worth? Everything still depends on the silver......

Seeing that Cohen agreed to his proposal, the smile on Li Chengyan's face was even stronger, so he said with a smile: "So, I don't know how much goods Mr. Cohen needs?" How will each transaction be settled? ”

Cohen groaned, "I wonder how you want me to settle?" Silver? Or slaves? ”

Li Chengyan smiled: "Feel free." In fact, what is the difference between silver and labor in the eyes of His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty?

Silver, my Ming Emperor is rich all over the world, and there is a lot of silver in the treasury that is moldy, so I have to take it out and dry it often.

Laborers, the number of my Ming people are 20,000, and they are even more hard-working, willing to sacrifice for my Ming Emperor, and naturally there is no shortage. ”

Then can you give me the Fushou paste for free?

After scolding secretly, Cohen nodded and said: "Then, let's use the two in parallel, after all, there are a number of slaves and silver that a ship can hold, and simply using slaves or silver will be a waste." ”

Li Chengyan nodded and said, "As you wish." As long as there is no problem with labor and silver, you will be able to get the corresponding amount of Fushou ointment.

Of course, the extra longevity paste I just said will also count. ”

When Li Chengyan's words fell, both of them laughed meaningfully, and then began to discuss the specific data and the time of the first transaction.

After they dispersed, Li Chengyan also met with Nan Juyi, the commander of the East China Sea Fleet, again, and roughly told Nan Juyi about the results of his discussion with Cohen.

After Nan Juyi looked Li Chengyan up and down, he hesitated and said, "In other words, you raised the price of Fushou paste to four laborers for one catty?" A laborer is worth five taels of silver? ”

Li Chengyan nodded and said, "This is natural." The barbarian doesn't understand people's words, and he has to spend a lot of time to train, so it is naturally worthless, even if it is converted into five taels of silver, it is already considered a high price. ”

Seeing Li Chengyan's look of letting Cohen take a big advantage, Nan Juyi sighed and said, "The old man is already old, so he has to take it!" ”

Li Chengyan smiled and arched his hand: "When the Southern Admiral is working hard, why is he old?" ”

Nan Juyi secretly said that the old man's face has not been as thick as yours for so many years, can he do it if he doesn't accept the old man?

After cheering up a bit, Nan Juyi said, "That's it, let's not talk about those barbarians." This Javanese eats a lot of food, and Lord Li wants to taste it alive. ”

Li Chengyan suddenly came to his senses, and said with a smile: "The guest is as he pleases, and the subordinate officials obey the orders of the Southern Admiral." ”

Got something to eat? Or is it a good meal? That's a good thing!

……

Looking at the prawn on the table, which was two and a half feet long, and was still showing teeth and claws after being steamed, Li Chengyan hesitated: "What is this?" ”

Nan Juyi said with a smile: "This thing is called prawns, but it is not a valuable thing, but it tastes good, and Lord Li will know it as soon as he tastes it." ”

As soon as the meat of the prawns was eaten, Li Chengyan's eyes narrowed - the fatty meat combined with the aroma of garlic juice made him feel like he couldn't stop.

Seeing Li Chengyan's appearance, it was not surprising that Nan Juyi smiled and said, "Do you want to ask Lord Li for something?" ”

Li Chengyan said: "I don't know what Nanda has to do?" ”

Nan Juyi said with a smile: "The old man wants Master Li to bring some of these prawns into Beijing for the old man and dedicate it to the Son of Heaven, don't you know?" ”

Li Chengyan naturally would not refuse, and immediately said in a big way: "Don't worry, Lord Nan, this matter is on the lower officials." ”

Nan Juyi revealed his true thoughts at this time: "In addition, the old man also wants to ask the old man to say a few more kind words."

This land of Java has been leveled, and the governor of Java has already begun to deal with government affairs, is it a little inappropriate for the old man to stay here? ”

Only then did Li Chengyan figure out Nan Juyi's thoughts.

Good Java, I don't care about so many good things, but I want to transfer out, I must be unhappy watching the Zheng brothers open up such a large territory!

After hesitating for a moment, Li Chengyan said: "Speaking of which, Xiaguan and Lord Li, the governor of Java, were still one family five hundred years ago, but I don't know Lord Li?" ”

It's been two or three days since he came to Batavia, and this Governor Li of his own family is still a dragon who can't see the end, which is very strange to say.

A trace of imperceptible embarrassment flashed on Nan Juyi's face, and then he stroked his beard and smiled: "Governor Li is also a good soldier, and in addition to government affairs, he likes to train soldiers on weekdays.

Since Governor Li didn't know that Lord Li was coming, he took the troops out early, and now he doesn't know where to train the troops. ”

As he was talking, there was a burst of laughter outside the door, followed by a burst of voices: "I heard that an angel is here, but Li rushed back early!" ”

Li Chengyan fixed his eyes and saw a young man in military uniform coming in from outside, looking at him who was about the same age as himself, but his face was full of determination.

But after looking at the young man's clothes, Li Chengyan's eyes shrank.

There is nothing strange about the clothes, they are exactly the same as the other governors of the Ming Dynasty, but the difference is that there are some dried blood stains on them, which makes this young man look a little more evil.

Seeing Li Chengyan's expression and gaze, the young man looked behind him, and then laughed quite self-deprecatingly: "It's Li who is rude, so I'll go to change my clothes, and ask the angel to wait for a while." ”

The moment the young man said it was really a moment, and after only a while, he walked in again, bowed to Li Chengyan and said, "Li Yan, the governor of Java, has seen an angel. ”

Li Chengyan also replied: "I don't deserve to be called an angel, the subordinate Li Chengyan, I came to Java just to discuss the mutual market with the barbarians, and I have no other official business." ”

After finishing speaking, Li Chengyan asked tentatively, "I don't know what the bloodstains on Governor Li's body just now were?" ”

Li Yan was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said: "It's just the blood of some barbarians, Li Yan, as the governor of Java, naturally protects the peace of Java, and it is also his duty to kill some of the remaining barbarians on this island." ”

Kill the barbarians?

You're not going to be unlucky!
