Chapter Fifty-Seven: The Kafa Merchant Stack
Now shipyards are already reinventing ships.
That's right, it's the two galleons that Qiao Su brought, and they're going to change them into cargo ships with bigger bellies (capacity).
Now the province has been preparing for the first trade. 1,000 catties of salt, woolen wool and white horses, hoes, kitchen knives and other domestic ironware, and hundreds of leather products, which are all kinds of industries that can make money in Chizhou. In addition, goods such as cured meats and vegetables are also put on the list of possible sales.
Business talents have become an issue that Qin Cang has to pay attention to.
At present, the only person in the territory who is good at business and understands Greek is Qiao Fuan, the shopkeeper of the grocery store opened by Qiao Su. In order to open up the trade route of Kaffa, Qiao Fuan was ordered to go to Kaffa to open the Han King's trading inn.
The messenger was sent out, along with a letter to Conrado.
"Your Excellency the Governor...... Thief...... The Han king of Chizhou sent you a letter and a gift. The staff knocked on Conrado's door.
Now Conrador has completely entered a state of awakening. Under his careful management, Kaffa's financial revenues continued to rise. The Ottoman Turkish merchants were so angry that they wanted to slaughter the bastard. In a few months, Conrador cleverly took away nearly 10% of their profits.
"Oh? Let me take a look. ”
Conrador stopped his pen and looked at a short letter on the table with a complicated expression, and then the staff brought a leather bag.
"Honorable Governor of Kaffa, Conrado del Otto: ......."
Qin Cang didn't actually say anything in the letter. After all, he robbed so many things from others, and now he wants others to wipe his ass, and it is impossible for Qin Cang to bypass such an enemy himself. Therefore, Qin Cang simply said that he wanted to open a shop in the downtown of Kaffa to sell his goods, and in order to thank him, he gave five hundred brand-new Haiperon to show his gratitude. Also attached is the goods he will be selling.
Folding the letter with his own hands and placing it in the box where he kept his important belongings, Conrador opened the well-made leather bag.
A small leather bag, and a horse...... Wool? There are also two knives and a sickle, both of which are made of iron.
Conrador picked up the velvet with a solemn expression. The quality is not very good, there is no dyeing. However, the natural high quality of wool is still a great plus. Conrado had a dyeing factory in Sardinia, so he knew the value of such a product!
Woolen wool is very valuable! Conrado hugged the velvet and thought of the surprised faces of the Tatar nobles, the Ottoman Turkish nobles, and the Genoese merchants!
Putting down the woollen velvet, Conrad glanced at the iron objects a few times and set his eyes on the small leather bag. Iron? Conrador already knows that Chishu produces iron, but what's the use of that? Can it be recaptured? He's also responsible for wiping his ass!
Opening the package, Conrado saw ..... Small yellowing grains?
"Salt!"
Salt iron cloth?
Conrador discovers that these bastards who call themselves Cyrias aren't really Mongols! They have their own civilization!
"Contact my subordinates and immediately clean up the building in the Kaffa Harbor Trade Zone and prepare to set up a store! Also, is that messenger of the Han king still there? ”
"Yes."
"Tell him...... No, I wrote a letter for him to take it back. ”
Conrador is a businessman.
What do businessmen value most?
Benefit! Money! Status!
Conrador sincerely hoped that Qin Cang would mainly focus the sale of salt and iron in Kaffa City, and give him priority to the second-level agent. In addition, regarding the woolen velvet, he hoped that Qin Cang could hand over all the overseas consignment rights of the woolen woolen to him! For this reason, Conrador is willing to cede the pastures in the southern part of the Kerch Peninsula to Qin Cang!
The messenger returned, and Conrado's eyes lit up! As long as you get your hands on the woollen woollen wool, even if Kapha doesn't have a dyeing factory, your own dyeing factory in Sardinia can still help you carry out secondary processing! When such a cargo arrives in Genoa, who should not look up to him Conrad?
At that time, the work of wiping the ass of this defeat and the work of returning to Genoa by yourself will be solved! The waste of the group of corpses at home, the garbage that has been buried in the midnight party all day can finally be removed by themselves!
With excitement, Conrador put Cromodo's death behind him.
A letter was soon sent from Kaffa to Chizhou.
Qiao Fuan is also making final preparations.
"Fu'an, you are from my family, so I won't fool you. This time you go to Kafa, it is your creation. It's done, I'm telling you, the rich people of the whole card will come to you and want to befriend you! But if you don't do well, I won't punish you, but from now on, you'll have to live in the grocery store. ”
Qin Cang said neither softly nor hard, and handed the reply letter to Conrador to Qiao Fuan. Behind Qiao Fuan, there are more than a dozen Han Chinese and Greeks, who will be the main force of the merchants.
"Conrador will send troops to protect you. So don't talk nonsense with those who want to threaten you, remember, I'm behind you! And Kaffa's Earth Overlord Conrado! Remember! ”
Qiao Fuan took the letter anxiously and left with his subordinates. Chen Jia was waiting for him at the shipyard.
Speaking of Chen Jia, although he was from the shipyard, Qin Cang actually gave him the task of controlling Qin Cang's four ships. And with the help of those five hundred sailors, Carlo is now nominally the leader, but in fact he has gradually lost his voice.
Of course, this is an action to boil a frog in warm water. Not long ago, Qin Cang also deliberately raised the salaries of Carlo and Ham Green. In a sense, Ham Green is aware of the problems that could arise, and Carlo doesn't seem to have thought about it.
Two cargo ships and four merchant ships quickly left the port. Under the guidance of the Italians, six ships will soon appear in the city of Kaffa.
When the six ships left quickly, Qin Cang also turned back to find Baoyin.
"Baoyin, now see if you can send someone to your father's tribe." Qin Cang asked Baoyin.
Now that Qin Cang has unloaded most of the burden of internal affairs to the government, the four members of the family are basically in the house.
And when Qin Cang asked Bao Yin, Bao Yin had just returned from the ranch.
"My father's side?" If it hadn't been for Qin Cang mentioning it, Bao Yin would have forgotten that his father still had relatives. Now she is very happy in Chizhou, except that the other woman next to the bed is very annoying, she enjoys the place very much. Tatar women do not have such a strong sense of vernacular feelings.
"Well, now the salt production in Salt Lake Wei has been mentioned as a thousand catties a month. We need to sell this salt far and wide. ”
