Embarrassed!
Li Qi's words, Richard only felt extremely embarrassed, they Xixia on the Silk Road really did not do this despicable deeds of killing people and goods, of course, most of this "activity" is of political significance, one is to prevent the western countries from contacting the Great Song Dynasty, weaken the influence of the Great Song Dynasty, and the other is to expand to the west for themselves, for a period of time, they have achieved good results, expanding a large area of territory in the west, and also successfully cut off the connection between the Great Song Dynasty and the western countries.
But this kind of thing is well known, and saying it will only make the atmosphere more embarrassing, but Li Qi has always been ruthless when he speaks, especially when doing business, as long as he can obtain enough benefits from this, no matter how ugly it is, he dares to say it.
"The economic envoy laughed." Richard reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said, "I admit that this kind of thing does happen in my country, but then again, this kind of thing happens in every country, isn't there a thief or robber in your country?" ”
Li Qi haha said: "Of course there is, what the prince said is right, of course this kind of thing is inevitable, but at least you have to try your best to prevent this kind of thing from happening, if we merchants go to your Western Xia ten times a year, and are robbed nine times, and once they are scared back, this can't blame the will of heaven." If you Xixia want to develop the economy, then the most basic life safety must be guaranteed, otherwise, no matter how hard I work in the Great Song Dynasty, it will be in vain. ”
As soon as Richard raised his hand, he said very cheerfully: "Don't worry, we will naturally adjust this." But I still say that this kind of thing is inevitable, and if we are to blame for everything, it will be too unfair to us. ”
md。 If you dare not rob, that is a charity to me. It's shameless. Li Qi put away his smile and waved his hand: "I don't care if it's fair or not, but if you can't provide protection at this point, then I can tell you with certainty now, this negotiation is over, and you can enter the entertainment link below." ”
Entertainment? Zhao Huan smiled secretly, in this case, how can it be entertained!
In Richard's eyes, Li Qi has always been a good talker, but today's Li Qi gives him a domineering feeling. No matter how you say it, he is also a prince, so you can give some face. However, compared to the huge profits, this requirement is nothing. He had already said yes in his heart. But he said, "What about you?" ”
This guy really wants to save face. Li Qi shrugged and said, "Of course I will give you the same assurance. ”
Only then did Richard nod and say, "Okay, I'll agree to your request." ”
"Good."
Li Qi nodded and smiled: "Then we can talk about the price of salt." ”
Richard smiled: "I don't think there is any need to talk about the price of salt, it's only three times, and there is no salt in the world that is so cheap." ”
Li Qi wowed and said, "So expensive? I remember that during the period of Emperor Yingzong, it was only two times, don't bully me, I won't do business! ”
Richard listened to Li Qi's words, no matter how well he cultivated, he also had an urge to burst into foul language, you Emperor Yingzong are about to die for a hundred years. And your Great Song Dynasty currency has been depreciating, why don't you say that your rice has risen nearly three times, and our salt has only risen by fifty percent, and you still say that it is expensive? Shocked: "Economic envoy, this is still expensive?" Even if you don't count the taxes, your salt will have to be sold for six times, and our salt is less than half of yours. ”
Li Qi waved his hand and said: "Your salt is not only sold to the northwest, we also have to sell to many places, the price of each place is different, take our Jiangnan now, everything is cheap there now, if you put the salt there three times, you have to be beaten to death, you are a pit man." ”
Richard shrank his head back and said, "Is it true?" ”
Zhao Huan said: "If the prince doesn't believe it, you can go to our Jiangnan to have a look." ”
Richard was skeptical and asked, "Then how much do you say you want to drop?" ”
"Consistent money."
Li Qi said with a finger up.
Richard immediately shook his head and said, "Downgrading? So much? No, no. ”
Li Qi shook his head and said, "Of course not, how can this work." ”
Before Richard could let go, Richie then said, "What I'm talking about is the consistent price of each Hu. ”
Silly!
Everyone present was dumbfounded.
If Richard only had the urge to burst into foul language, then now he not only wanted to burst foul language, but also wanted to beat people, Huo Ran got up and said, "You are simply robbing." Consistent money? You sell it to me! ”
Fortunately, he stood far away, otherwise he would have been spitting in the face. Li Qi smiled and said, "Don't get excited, don't get excited." ”
Richard couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, and said, "How can you tell me not to be excited, you are too ruthless." ”
In fact, don't talk about Richard and others, even Zhao Huan and the officials of the Song Dynasty looked at Li Qi in shock, they had never seen a bargain, but they had never cut so ruthlessly, they really didn't leave anyone a way out.
Li Qi said: "You can't say that, why do you want to sell salt to me in the Great Song Dynasty, don't you just want to exchange currency from us?" ”
Richard was stunned, but did not make a sound.
Li Qi smiled: "If this were a year ago, I would have felt that this salt would be like picking up." ”
Richard snorted, "It's good that you know. ”
Li Qi changed his words and said: "But now it's different, now my Song Dynasty currency is in short supply, and the value of currency is soaring, in Jiangnan, money can always buy several times the goods of a year ago, to be honest, I have always been too expensive." ”
Richard said angrily: "Don't say whether this is true or not, even if it is true, our Western Xia is not like this, if it is consistent money, then our Western Xia people will not be profitable at all, and we have to pay for it, and the business is not like this." ”
Li Qi squinted his eyes outward, waved his hand impatiently, and said, "Okay, okay, then how much do you say?" Don't tell me three times, I want to go to the hut when I hear it. ”
Richard groaned for a long time and said, "Okay." It's just two runs through 800 texts. ”
"You might as well say three runs." Li Qi snorted and said very generously: "Okay, okay, I'll take a step back, it's always five hundred." ”
How could Richard be willing, imitating his Richie's tone. said: "Then you might as well say consistently." ”
Li Qi immediately nodded and said, "Then be consistent." ”
When Zhao Huan and the others heard this, the corners of their mouths twitched vigorously, and they tried to hold back their laughter.
Richard was stunned for a moment, he was almost laughed at angrily, and said: "Okay, two runs of six hundred texts, it can't be lowered again." ”
Li Qi said: "It's always eight hundred texts, and it can't be more." ”
Richard said: "This price is absolutely impossible. ”
Li Qi said: "There is nothing impossible in the world. The prince doesn't want to think about it, without my Great Song, how much of your salt can be sold. If you sell more, it will be considered profitable, and our population of the Great Song Dynasty doesn't know how many times more than you, and the quantity you want is so huge, you can't sell it at your retail price as a wholesale price. ”
Retail price? Richard said, "I know that. That's why. I am willing to drop 400 Wen. ”
Li Qi said: "Only four hundred Wen? I've given you an increase of 800 wen. ”
Are you going up? You have to ask for the same price at the beginning, is that the price of salt, is that the price of salt water? Richard simply didn't debate with Li Qi anymore, he was also afraid that he would fight to the end, and he would be fooled into by Li Qi again, so he tilted his head and said, "Two runs and six hundred texts, that's the price." ”
"It's always eight hundred articles, and I don't want one more." Richie snorted.
Negotiations seem to have reached an impasse again.
Zhao Huan glanced at the two of them, and suddenly said, "Since it's not appropriate to talk about it for the time being." I don't think it's better to put the price of salt aside for now, and let's talk about the horse business first. He didn't want to accept how much this salt was sold for, he was more concerned about war horses, which was the most lacking thing in the Great Song Dynasty.
Li Qi waved his hand, and said lightly: "Your Highness, this horse still needs to be discussed, we are sending money to them to use!" Just get 50,000 or 60,000 horses a year, and you don't need to talk about it at all. ”
Zhao Huan heard it and squirted out a mouthful of tea, and secretly thought, do you really dare to say that in this horse business, they only sold 30,000 horses to us in Western Xia a year, and there were still uneven horses, fifty or sixty thousand horses, you should be a pig!
Richard felt like he was going crazy, and said: "Economic envoy, you are joking, fifty or sixty thousand horses, I will simply give you a ranch in Xixia." ”
"Good idea, this can be done."
Li Qi's eyes lit up, and he said: "If you go to do business, then I, Li Qi, really don't dare to mix in the business world, so let's do it, you can rent the ranch to us directly, which is convenient and simple, and saves a lot of trouble." ”
Richard said coldly: "I hope that the economy will make you don't think I am a three-year-old child, do you think this can work?" ”
"It's doable!"
Richard was too lazy to talk to Li Qi, and said: "Your Highness, economic envoy, don't hide it, my Western Xia has been fighting a lot recently, and the loss of horses is relatively large, let alone 50,000 horses, even if it is 10,000 horses, we can't take it out, at most we can only sell you 5,000 horses a year?" ”
"Five thousand?"
Li Qi smiled and said, "Lord Wang, don't you forget it, we have no limit on your salt, and you sell us five thousand horses every year?" It's not the price to send beggars, I don't feel any sincerity from you at all, how many horses you produce in Xixia every year, we know in our hearts, don't take this word to wait for me, since you want to talk about business, then you have to show some sincerity, or let's talk about Fengyue, so as not to hurt your friendship with me. The horse trade is also the most important business of your Western Xia, and you are not only a customer of my Great Song Dynasty, you can give us the share of other countries, so that we will feel the sincerity of your country. ”
This kid is really greedy, if I sell you 50,000 horses every year, within three years, you will have a strong cavalry army, and then we will be even more passive. Richard's brows furrowed, and his face looked very ugly.
However, Li Qi's strength made Zhao Huan feel a little excessive, only to feel a little hot on his face, and seeing that the atmosphere was extremely dull, he stood up and said: "Okay, okay, this negotiation can't be negotiated in a day or two, if it can't be negotiated today, it can be continued tomorrow." ”
Richard was a little dazed by Li Qi's rush, and he also needed some time to digest, so he hurriedly said: "Your Highness is reasonable, I think that's it." ”
Li Qi still looked a little dissatisfied, and said in disappointment: "Since His Royal Highness has said so, Li Qi can only be respectful and obey his fate." ”
