Chapter 63: Negotiating
"Go to Liaodong, do you dare?" Yang Renyu asked the shipowner rhetorically.
"Liaodong?" The shipowner repeated it to himself, but he was already thinking in his heart.
At this time, Liaodong is already a place where wars are frequent, it can be said that it is a hell on earth, normal people are far away to hide, but 10,000 taels of silver is not idle, there is no risk, and people can't give such a high freight. But the shipowner can't agree at once, he has to put the difficulties on the table, tell the facts, and see if the other party still has a price.
"Don't hide it from the little brother, the risk of going to Liaodong is too high, the old man is afraid that he will have his life to make money and not to spend it!"
"Risk? As I said, you only need to be responsible for the risks at sea, man-made risks, and we can help you deal with them and make sure you're okay. ”
"That's what I said, but the net worth and life of the old man's family can't be guaranteed by a word, little brother, you are a smart person, you should know." The meaning of the shipowner's words is that Yang Renyu can't just speak in the vernacular and not bleed.
"Shipowner, let me tell you! Our young master wants to take us to Liaodong to build slaves, and he is willing to spend all his family wealth for this, money is not a problem, and the shipowner, you are far from enough for a small boat, we have more than 200 people, and an appropriate amount of goods.
We have a treasure of great value, which is a long-term business, and if you sell it to the Hongmaoyi people, it will be a huge amount of gold and silver. That is to say, you can often go to Liaodong to trade with us in the future, you have to organize a group of ships, not you alone, you can rest assured, the business is so big that you dare not imagine, far from the freight of 10,000 taels of silver. ”
Yang Renyu's words are as heavy as a thousand gold, knocking on the heart of the shipowner and making his heart! Always plopping and jumping, the amount of information is too great, more than 200 people, if they are as strong as them, it takes someone to have the courage to dare to transport them, even the water bandits dare not dare! However, the shipowner had seen their young master, a very kind young man, and he was very affectionate and trustworthy, and he had the courage to take it.
The second key word is treasure, what is it? Is it worth the money? It's still an unknown. Therefore, the shipowner asked Yang Renyu again: "Little brother, can you tell him what treasure it is?" Little old man, I have a bottom in my heart. ”
"It is a kind of top-level porcelain, its texture is warmer than Hetian white jade, each piece is worth a lot of money, it is the exclusive secret technique of my young master, and it is also the most beloved goods of Xiyi people, the market is not worried, you only need a small batch many times, you don't have to be afraid that Xiyi people will eat black, they come from the far west, they are here to do business."
Our young master is determined to be in the world of the family and the country, not these things, so we are willing to trade with you, we will give you the first porcelain as freight, and then you sell it to the Xiyi people, you will know the value of this top porcelain, and we will trade in the future, you will know it, anyway, we will never let you suffer. Seeing that the shipowner intended to do this business, Yang Renyu finally told the truth.
Yang Renyu's words, the old shipowner who is familiar with the inside story immediately believed eight points, these useless shells he transported may be made of porcelain, if it is really as he said, it is definitely a road to make a fortune, and the exclusive business is the best.
As this little brother said, although the Xiyi people are rampant and domineering on the sea, killing people and robbing goods, it is not uncommon, but they are still a businessman after all, if this kind of precious porcelain, only he has the goods, every time a small amount of transactions, he is really not afraid of the Xiyi people eating black.
After thinking about it, the shipowner said with a straight face: "Little brother, I don't hide it, I am very intentional, and I promise that there will be enough sea ships to transport you to Liaodong." It's just empty words, and I haven't seen the kind of porcelain you mentioned, what is so good? It's really a big deal, and I hope to be big. ”
Yang Wenli had already taken into account the old shipowner's worries, so this time Yang Wenli gave him a bone china wine cup, which was the real thing. There is no evidence, and the real thing is proof, and it is not as good as a small wine cup to say too many good things.
"That's it! Since the owner is interested, I'll show you what exactly is top-notch porcelain. Yang Renyu said as he took out a small thing wrapped in silk cloth from his arms, and then slowly opened the silk cloth layer by layer like opening a rare treasure.
"Wow!" The two were close at hand, and when Yang Renyu opened the silk cloth to reveal a small bone china wine cup, Rao is well-informed old shipowner couldn't help but exclaim.
Where is this porcelain! It is clearly a peerless jade, it is so white and crystalline, without a trace of variegation, even if Hetian beauty jade is inferior to three points, it is shaped Zhouzheng, it is simply ingenious, it is like Xi Shi, increase one point is too fat, minus one point is too thin. The old shipowner asked himself if he could find the slightest flaw, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was a treasure in the sky.
The old shipowner, whose face was red and his heart was beating fast, asked him in a trembling voice, "Are they all such porcelain?" ”
Yang Renyu smiled, the appearance of the old shipowner, he had a full view, he knew that this business would not be successful! He replied with a smile: "Of course, every piece of porcelain is the same, and there are various styles, and this wine cup, because it is easy to carry, I chose to make a sample."
Don't worry, old shipowner, if you promise this business, you will see the porcelain before we get on board. ”
"Good! I have no problem, and I promise to find enough ships to transport you to Liaodong. After listening to Yang Renyu's words, the old shipowner immediately agreed.
Although the Tan people are untouchables and belong to the four people, they also have advantages, that is, every household is begging for a living at sea, living in the sea, growing in the sea, and asking for a boat is a matter of one sentence.
"Then when are you going to Liaodong?" The old shipowner then asked.
"It's probably May or June next year, and when you come, we'll send someone to be on duty here." Yang Renyu said Yang Wenli's original words.
"Good! We're done, hahaha! The old shipowner happily agreed immediately.
……
The reason why Yang Wenli thought of finding an old shipowner to take them to Liaodong was because Qizhou was too far to Liaodong, and the Guanshan road was far away, and the land route was not feasible at all, and it was only possible to take the sea route.
Originally, you could have bought a sea boat, hired a shipwright, and sailed there yourself. But the ship was too expensive, and he didn't have that much cash on hand, so he thought of a way to use bone china to pay for the freight.
Another of the biggest advantages of the old shipowner is that he is very familiar with the sea routes, just as familiar as ordinary people walking.
Water transportation is very risky, not only the sea breeze and waves, but also more pirates than cow hair, all of which Yang Wenli and their landlubbers can't deal with. Paying some money for help from an expert is the wisest choice.
……
At the other end of Happy Valley, at this time, Yang Wenli was loudly reprimanding the person in front of him with his throat: "Your knife speed is too disappointing to me, anyone can dodge it casually, slow, too slow."
On the battlefield, do you think there are many opportunities to go to the knife? Not much, there may only be one chance to shoot, because you waste this precious opportunity, there is no way to have a second time, you are killed by the enemy.
Either you die or I die, there is no other way. Therefore, do you want to die yourselves, or do you want your enemies to die? It's just a matter of whether you can go out fast enough......"
