Chapter 254 Trade Dumping Strategies

……

Zhao Zhe didn't lie about this, the military department did ask the department to buy some exquisite artillery at a very high price. But it was purely deliberate to please Aunt Xu Linglong. In fact, even if the department of the organ is very slaughtering, it is two thousand taels and one door. The cost price of a delicate artillery is only a few hundred taels of silver.

Caterina was a little blushing when he saw it, but hurriedly distinguished: "How is it possible, I learned from Chen Susu's shopkeeper that the price of the Linglong cannon she bought was only two thousand taels of silver. ”

"This, Miss Chen Susu and Master Xu of the Department of Organs are friends, and the amount she wants is not much, it is purely half sold and half given. Miss Katarina, if you only need ten exquisite guns, I can sell you ten for two thousand taels and one guns, and I will treat it as a half-gift, and be a personal favor. Zhao Zhe waved his hand generously, and then said solemnly: "Miss Katarina, you may not know very well, if I want to get the Linglong artillery, I must pass the checkpoint of the military department." The price of taking the goods is not low, but it still costs money to check up and down, and if you can't spot it, it is easy to be stuck. This exquisite artillery, but my Da Zhao's most advanced weapon, is very close. ”

Ten artillery pieces will definitely not satisfy her appetite. I had to grit my teeth and said slowly: "Then, Mr. Zhao, you say, how much does it cost?" ”

Zhao Zhe slowly stretched out a finger.

"Ten thousand taels?" Caterina almost fainted, and said angrily: "Mr. Zhao, I am very sincere in doing business with you. 10,000 taels, this price is too expensive. If I were to replace all the guns, I would need five hundred. Wouldn't that cost five million taels of silver? "She made a lot of money by robbing other pirates and doing business along the way. But if you want to get five million taels, you have to dig a knife in her heart.

"You can't say that, Miss Caterina." Old God Zhao Zhe was drinking tea, and said with a smile: "We are businessmen, so we will only do it if it is profitable." You know that, too. Da Zhao's law is very strict, and this kind of arms trade is not just about killing the head, but about exterminating the nine clans. I admit that I can earn you four thousand taels of silver on a piece of artillery, but if you go all over the world to inquire, who would dare to sell you exquisite artillery? What's more, with a strong force, you can rob a few unpleasant caravans, fight a few unhappy pirates, and the money will come back, so what do you care about so much? I wouldn't take this risk without a relatively high profit. ”

Katerina's face was a little bad, the price was indeed beyond her expectations. But as Zhao Zhe said, if the combat effectiveness of the fleet is increased several times, especially in terms of range and rate of fire, it will be more than doubled. This is extremely advantageous in naval warfare. Even capturing the ports of some small countries is a breeze. Maybe this Miss Cai doesn't know that she is adrift all over the world, but she is actually in the pirate business. But this kind of thing is normal, the fleets of the whole of Europe are out of the house, who meets the weakness of the enemy country, and will not make a cameo appearance as a pirate? Compared to other guys who kill people without blinking, she is much more principled and never does anything to kill everything. In particular, she often exterminates notorious and vicious pirates. The benefits of exterminating some pirates are often much greater than the hijacking of merchant ships.

"Okay, 10,000 taels is 10,000 taels. In addition to five hundred artillery pieces, I need half a million shells. Caterina said ruthlessly: "And that exquisite musket, I want 10,000 and 2 million bullets." You settle the math for me. ”

Zhao Zhe perked up and said with interest: "Of course you can, weapons and ammunition must be sold together." 10,000 taels of artillery, 500 guns is 5 million taels. 500,000 shells, 250,000 taels. 10,000 exquisite muskets, totaling 2.5 million taels. Two million rounds of bullets, two million taels. In total, 12 million taels of silver were received. Of course, you can pay with the equivalent of gold. ”

Catalina stared at Zhao Zhe dumbfounded, with the urge to kill, and said word by word: "You, this is a robbery!" ”

Cai Guyan also felt a little fainting when she heard it on the side, she and Xu Linglong are both Zhao Zhe's daughter-in-law, and they have some friendship. Of course, I know that the cost price of the artillery is more than 300 taels, and the cost of the shells is less than half a tael. The delicate musket cost more than ten taels of silver, but he sold it for two hundred and fifty taels. Not to mention the bullets, more than twenty are only counted as one or two. The cost price of all these things is about four or five hundred thousand. But he wanted to sell it for 12 million taels in one go. This kind of profiteering, even Cai Guyan, who is accustomed to experiencing strong winds and waves, is staggering.

"No, no, how can robbery be so profitable as selling arms? With this handful, I can make at least three million taels. Zhao Zhe smiled and said, it seems that in the era of the old emperor, the Europeans used very rubbish arquebuses to cheat Da Zhao out of a lot of money. It's good now, and now I use these goods that are about to be eliminated and start dumping abroad. It's really a turn of feng shui.

The Sacred Domain Research Institute has been established for a year and a half, and in the small world, it can be regarded as thirty years have passed. According to the research process of Linglong's girl and the crazy people in the research institute. This kind of exquisite artillery and musket has long been eliminated to the point that it cannot be eliminated. Nowadays, the latest artillery has been produced at full speed in the department of the organ, and it is not known how many times stronger than the Linglong cannon.

It's naturally a good thing to get some obsolete goods and make a big fortune in the city. It's just that Gu Yan doesn't know the doorways, so he thinks it's inappropriate to sell these firearms to others. Most importantly, although this exquisite musket artillery is the earliest firearm studied by the department. However, Sanfrey continued to instill anti-piracy awareness into the department, so that these two things were designed with a lot of ingenious design. If you want to imitate, it's not that simple. Especially shells, bullets. It seems simple, but it has designed a lot of imitation piracy concepts in it. If you want to crack the imitation completely, it will be difficult to spend ten or eight years without paying attention. Ten or eight years later, Zhao Zhe thought that relying on the Sanctuary Research Institute of the small world, he had already thrown the power of science and technology to other countries I don't know how many times.

"Ten million taels, if you agree, I'll buy it, if you don't agree, forget it." Caterina bargained.

"No, no, Miss Katarina, you really don't understand. In order to earn a mere one million taels of silver, I could not have taken such a big risk to help you. Zhao Zhe waved his hand and said: "I will not accept any form of counteroffer, this price is already the price for the sake of your lonely friend's face." ”

"Then, if I want more artillery muskets, can you sell them to me?" Caterina suddenly rolled her eyes, trying to recoup her losses from others. Firearms of this calibre, if sold to Europe, will certainly sell for a good price. In fact, although the price is extremely high, the surname of this firearm is also very powerful. The most important thing is that if a certain country does not want to buy, it is perfectly possible to sell it to his hostile country. In this way, the country that does not buy will lose extremely much in the war, and the gains will outweigh the losses. It's a big deal, if you don't believe in the power of this firearm, let them taste it for themselves.

"I will pay three times the price of thirty-five million taels of silver for all the goods I have just mentioned." Caterina was also a woman of great courage and saw a business opportunity. So he played all his money and money savings. A third is enough for your own use. The other two-thirds of them can earn back the money they have lost, which is the lowest level, and if they do it well, they will not be able to get a lot of profits.

One is willing to fight, the other is willing to suffer. Zhao Zhe immediately drew up with her, signed a contract, and handed over this matter to Cai Guyan to handle.

After Caterina said goodbye to prepare the money. Cai Guyan couldn't help but bury Zhao Zhe and said, "Your Majesty, how can such a sharp weapon of the country be sold to foreigners?" ”

"Don't worry, this is already a eliminated firearm." Zhao Zhe smiled and said: "Second, there are many doors and tricks in the cannon chamber and shells, and it is not so easy to imitate shells and bullets. They want to use bullets and shells, and in ten or eight years, they will only have to buy from us. It's a long-term deal. ”

Cai Guyan's face was a little better, and he couldn't help but roll his eyes at Zhao Zhe: "But you are also ruthless enough, I originally thought that you fell in love with Katarina, but you were so fascinated that you even ignored the weapon of the country." Who knows, but he wants to snatch her again. ”

"I'm the emperor, how can I be fascinated to do such a thing? I am afraid of poverty, think about it, although I won a battle, I at least earned hundreds of millions worth of silver taels. But don't look at hundreds of millions of silver, if you really want to do something serious, it's like flowing water. But today's incident has given me a lot of ideas, money and resources, it's not the fastest to go out and rob. What is most profitable, and which can hit other countries the most, is to monopolize their trade, dump products on their countries, and destroy their national fundamentals. After Zhao Zhe said it awe-inspiringly, his eyes were a little confused: "But that red-haired chick is indeed hot enough and spicy enough, I like it." ”

Cai Guyan's little good face that he had just accumulated for him suddenly disappeared, and he turned away with a cold face and ignored him.

Zhao Zhe hugged Cai Guyan, whose body was becoming more mature and charming, and said with a smile: "Child, mother, you are really getting more and more sultry." ”

"Don't!" Cai Guyan hurriedly stopped him: "It's still white...... Woo~"

"Obediently, let's help me give birth to a prince again." Zhao Zhe came from behind, and stood up heavily.
