Chapter 916: Bonanza
On the second day of the first month of April, Boyuan Jun Jifeng came uninvited, saying that he was uninvited, but in fact, the invitation letter had already been sent. It seems that the Wang's family incident only killed and injured some officers and soldiers and merchants, and had no impact on the princes of various countries, but in fact had a great impact.
The deed is a "financial product" made by merchants from various countries, and the merchants and nobles of the princes and states flock to the king's family, and those who have a relationship use the relationship to obtain quotas and resell them to make profits, and they can only lick the blood and risk reselling the materials in their hands, and finally take over the plate is not the most unlucky, and the real sufferers are the ordinary businessmen who have invested in the funds, neither got the goods, nor got back the principal, and were forced to "close the position".
These foreign magnates and businessmen who participated in the resale were many businessmen from the Liang Kingdom, businessmen from the Gongliang clan, and huge riches controlled by Xihuan, and Ji Feng was no exception. This time, he came to the door, saying that it was for orders, but in fact, it was to explore the reality of Xianguo and seek huge profits.
"Bo Yuanjun is here today, he must have made a final agreement with Ben Hou."
Ji Feng had a smile on his face, and when he opened his mouth, he had a signature smile, giving people a harmless look:
"Hehaha...... Yes, Benjun's coming is related to the final agreement, but there are still some discrepancies with what Yongxing Hou said. Last month, due to the inconvenience of the royal family, Yongxinghou was delayed, and today I came to hope to continue to discuss the final price with Yongxinghou. ”
Hearing this, Bai Liyan's face did not change, and the tea cup that was already in his hand was placed on the case with a slight force, only to hear a bang, the tea cup shook from side to side twice, and Bai Liyan said lukewarmly:
"Bo Yuanjun is here to bargain."
"Huh...... Business, since ancient times, pay attention to the real price of individual goods, Xianguo's machine has nothing to say, but this price is too expensive, this monarch for the Son of Heaven strategy, if you can't satisfy the Son of Heaven, this gentleman is afraid that it will not be easy to explain. ”
"Hmph, I came to bargain twice before, Ben Hou has already let you 300,000 new dollars, and this time I came to bargain again, I really thought that the machine of my Xianguo was popping out of the cracks in the stone, and the blood and sweat of the craftsman were worthless, right?"
Bai Liyan said unceremoniously, Ji Feng's bargaining is not the first time, and it is the third time including this time. On the first two occasions, a total of 300,000 Singapore dollars were promised to him, but the concession was reduced from more than 3.7 million to more than 3.4 million, and the 8 percent reduction was not satisfied. This also includes the training, accommodation, travel and other expenses of all personnel, and the learning is more advanced processing technology, but it only costs more than 3 million Singapore dollars, where in the world is there such a good thing.
Seeing that Bailiyan was angry, Ji Feng started haha:
"Hehaha...... Yongxing Hou don't want to be angry, see if we can change the way. ”
"Another way?" Bai Liyan was vigilant, suspecting that this bastard had already calculated, so he continued to ask: "Ben Hou listens. ”
"After Yongxing, you see, Xianguo Qianfang lends to foreign countries, but does not lend to foreigners, why might as well you lend to Benjun."
"What, you want a loan!" Bai Liyan was taken aback, and finally understood a little bit that this thing was a white wolf who wanted to empty gloves.
"Yes, Xianguo first borrowed money from my Liang country, and then repaid the fixed amount of principal and interest every year, how about paying it off in ten years."
Ji Feng calculated very well, with the money of Xianguo to buy the equipment of Xianguo, and then pay in installments, although the money needed to spend each year is more than the purchase money paid, but Yongxing machinery will be delivered one after two or three years, and the profits generated by the machine are much richer, enough to pay off in advance.
It is said that international large-scale loans are the dream business of international multinational banks, but the premise is that there must be a stable international environment and political order. Since its establishment, Xianguo Qianfang has only opened domestic loan business and not foreign business, which is due to the turbulence of the situation in the final analysis, followed by the lack of technical conditions to support the opening of foreign business.
Taking a step back, Ji Feng's loan cannot be in the name of a private person, but in the name of Liang and the Son of Heaven, it is the suzerain's borrowing of money from the lower state, it has always been easy to borrow money and difficult to repay, not to mention that there is no international financial treaty at present, maybe Ji Feng is thinking that next year or the year after that, the Xianguo will be defeated by the Wei Guo, and the currency will depreciate rapidly.
Seeing that Bailiyan didn't respond, Ji Feng cautiously probed:
"The loan from Xianguo will be profitable, why not Yongxinghou."
"Hehe......" Bai Liyan sneered, without refusal: "That's good, how much Bo Yuanjun plans to borrow, he won't prepare a single copper and spend it, it's all about borrowing." ”
"Hehe, exactly."
Ji Feng said shamelessly, Bai Liyan's face suddenly sank, and he sneered:
"You can really open your mouth, aren't you afraid of choking to death?"
"Yongxing Hou is serious about this, since it is a business, borrowing money to do goods has been done since ancient times, and I am still afraid that my country will move away and run away and not pay it back."
The total price of the contract with Ji Feng amounted to more than 3.4 million Singapore dollars, of which about 700,000 were traded in gold and silver, and it was not easy to ask the treasury of Liang Guo to take out these gold and silver in one go, and after trading with Mooney, it was effortless to take out millions of gold and silver.
Now I want to borrow money to buy equipment for a dime, not so much to be too shrewd, but to be brazen to the point of falling to the ground.
Bailiyan sternly refused:
"If this prince does not agree, my king will not agree. I will lend you up to 800,000 dollars, Singapore dollars, gold and silver. ”
"800,000 is too little, 3 million S$."
"Impossible, only 800,000, there is no room for negotiation."
Bailiyan did not back down, and Ji Feng continued to bargain:
"That's 2.5 million."
"No, 800,000 Singapore dollars, not one more."
"Barter goes hand in hand with loans."
Ji Feng proposed, and Bai Liyan refused again:
"There was no barter in the original agreement, only you were allowed to trade with 20% of gold and silver in Singapore dollars. Besides, you Liang Guo can't supply me with what I need, so why should Ben Hou agree to a barter deal? ”
"Why is the Marquis of Yongxing busy refusing, it is not too late to make a decision after listening to the conditions of this gentleman."
"Oh, does Liang still have what I wanted?"
The climate of Liang is comparable to that of Xiangguo, the latitude is slightly northerly, and generally speaking, Liang can produce crops from salty countries, and it is not like the cotton, soybeans, sesame, hanging beans, leather goods, medicinal materials, minerals and other countries of Zhi, Jin, Song and other countries There are conditions for trade complementarity.
The establishment of geological technology has discovered a large number of mineral deposits for the Xian country, and there is no longer the condition for a large number of imports, and at most imports can make up for some reserves, so that the foreign trade books of other princes will look better, so that the trade deficit will not be too large and the finances will collapse.
Liang Guoneng exported very few special products to Xianguo, and even if there were, the total amount was almost negligible, and Bailiyan really couldn't think of anything that Liang Guoneng could do that was necessary for Xianguo, so he rejected Ji Feng's request for barter at the beginning.
At this time, I saw a few people take out a bag from his waist, and from the bag he took out a stone the size of an egg with a slight gold and silver color:
"Yongxing Hou look, if Yongxing Hou is willing to barter trade, my Liang State can use this gold and silver ore as a barter commodity."
"Oh...... Gold and silver ore. ”
Bai Liyan said meaningfully, and couldn't help but feel suspicious, so she motioned for Wei Qi to take it and looked at it carefully with a magnifying glass.
During the three-color staggering period of gold, silver and gray of the ore texture layer, the texture is relatively fine, and it can be determined that it is not the fool's gold formed by pyrite, nor is it a zinc-copper ore with golden color, at least it is certain that it contains gold ore, as for whether there is still silver ore, it is difficult to say.
But seeing this, Bai Liyan didn't understand a little, why did Ji Feng use gold and silver ore as a barter commodity to mortgage cash, it didn't make sense at all.
The content of gold in the mineral deposits on the surface is very scarce, and the content of ordinary gold ore is only three or two grams per ton, or even one and a half grams, and the cost of mining and refining is extremely high. The best taste, the easiest to mine is the rich ore in the early human activities almost exhausted, modern society mining gold, most of the taste of a few grams per ton or even a gram of gold.
At present, the productivity is low, the mining technology is primitive, the natural resources are abundant, and the source of gold mainly depends on the mining of natural rich minerals and sands, and even natural pure gold, such as dog's head gold, camel gold, etc. Most of the known rich ores are in the territory of Jinxuedi and Western Tapir, and there are very few rich ores in the Central Plains, and even if they do, the quality is not good.
Although the gold content of this ore specimen given by Ji Feng is unknown, the quality is extremely high, and it is definitely a high-grade rich gold ore.
Besides, ore is ore and gold is gold, and who can guarantee how much gold and silver will be in the ore you supply, how much manpower will be consumed, and how to settle the bill at that time is a matter of nonsense. This moment is extremely abnormal at this time.
Thinking of this, Bai Liyan put the ore and magnifying glass on the case, and said quietly:
"Can Yin Yangjun tell Ben Hou that Liang Guo has discovered a gold mine?"
"Hehe, this gentleman doesn't know about this matter, it is the Son of Heaven who instructed this monarch to use this gold and silver ore to trade with Xianguo. Seeing that Yongxinghou looked at it so carefully, he must have been knowledgeable. ”
"Yes, the ore given by Bo Yuanjun does have a high gold content, but Ben Hou doesn't understand, since the Son of Heaven has such a good gold mine, why not pay with gold and silver, but with gold and silver ore, and how can the Son of Heaven guarantee the silver ore content to pay the required amount in full."
"When the gold and silver are withdrawn, our country will send craftsmen and officials to withdraw them together until the gold and silver required by the Xian country are paid in full, and the fire and manpower can be exchanged for gold and silver to pay for it."
Ji Feng always had a smile on his face, and he couldn't see any malice, and he couldn't help but give people the illusion that he was sincerely pasting it upside down, which was really a pity if he didn't agree. Baili Yan thought that something was wrong, but she was itchy and reluctant to spend such a large amount of gold and silver, so she said tentatively:
"How much gold and silver ore does the Son of Heaven plan to supply, it will be paid off in a few years."
"All gold and silver money is to be paid in gold and silver ore, and it will be paid off within three years."
"So much, can you Liang Guo have so many gold and silver ores?"
Bai Liyan couldn't help but doubt the credibility of what Ji Feng said.
It took three years to pay off more than 700,000 inches of gold and silver ore, which produced about a few dozen tons of gold and silver, even if it is estimated according to the rich ore of hundreds or even hundreds of grams of gold per ton, it is equivalent to 5,000 tons of gold-containing ore.
Looking at the hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of land in the Liang Kingdom, which only produces a few dozen tons of gold and silver, and looking at the current low productivity, how much labor cost it will cost to mine, transport, smelt and process 5,000 tons of ore under the current technical conditions, the annual output of five or six tons of gold and silver is also a lot in the Central Plains.
Taking Ziyuan County occupied by Zhiguo as an example, judging from the previous information, the county does not have an annual output of 60 stone of silver (about 3 tons), and the gold is less than 10 stone.
