Chapter 509: Black Merchant
Tang Ming's guess was not bad at all, the million taels of silver that he had just lent out in the morning were not immediately placed in front of him. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info loaded with more than a dozen large wooden boxes, all of which are about to fill this not too big living room, and it looks really a little spectacular.
With a sensual smile, Wu Xiong came to Tang Ming's face, and pointed to a dozen boxes of silver with a smile and said to Tang Ming: "Brother, my brother is also an old customer, you can see how much you buy just by buying a boat from you, do you see if you can give your eldest brother a little cheaper this time, how about this million taels of silver for a high-configuration treasure ship?" β
Originally, Takeo didn't want a treasure ship, after all, he was not as good as before, and what he urgently needed was the quantity of the ship, and the quality was secondary. Therefore, the original plan of this million taels of silver was to buy six warships.
After thinking about it, he still felt that it would be better to buy a treasure ship first, especially the kind of treasure ship that Tang Ming had just improved and Fei Xin used to deal with Zhu Gaoxi last time.
He already knew how powerful it was, and all the warships in front of it were like papier-mΓ’chΓ©, easily torn apart by it. He had been thinking about this for a long time, but it was only because he was shy that he couldn't buy a battleship.
Today, with a windfall of one million taels, he wanted to discuss with Tang Ming to buy a treasure ship like that, which can be said to be a great expectation. Although he knew that the asking price of that kind of treasure ship was definitely not low, and Tang Ming had no intention of taking it out at the moment, Takeo still decided to give it a try.
Tang Ming was silent in a deep silence, he really didn't want to sell this new type of treasure ship, at least before the more advanced next-generation treasure ship came out, he didn't want to take such a risk to sell the ship.
After a while, Tang Ming shook his head and said to Wu Xiong: "It's not that brother, I'm stingy, this treasure ship has just been developed, and you have also seen that brother, I don't have many ships of this kind at present, only more than fifty." Besides, it's not enough for you to only have this million taels, so there's nothing you can do about it! β
In fact, it is not impossible to sell one to Takeo, but it must not be given to him easily, and no matter what, you have to make money to build another one.
The fat on Takeo's face twitched violently, and he could vaguely guess from Tang Ming's words that this was the rhythm of his own hemorrhage! But he wanted to get such a treasure ship too much, so he still gritted his teeth and asked, "Then I don't know how many silver taels my brother needs before he is willing to sell one to his eldest brother?" β
In his desperate desire, Takeo was also mentally prepared that as long as there was one such treasure ship, he would be able to withstand all his current hundred warships to some extent. It's understandable that the money needs more!
Tang Ming smiled, suddenly stretched out two fingers, and said lightly: "Two million taels, not a single one is missing, brother, I agreed to sell you a ship because of our friendship, big brother think about it yourself!" β
After speaking, Tang Ming no longer cared about Takeo, who almost spurted out a mouthful of blood, and slowly tasted the fragrant tea sent by his subordinates.
Two million taels is too much beyond the boundaries of Takeo's heart, and at this moment, he also understands that Tang Ming is just looking for an excuse and doesn't want to sell it to himself. Even if a treasure ship is transformed, it must be less than a million taels, and these two million are enough for him to buy nearly a hundred ordinary warships at one time.
In comparison, he was also very hesitant at the moment, and he couldn't make up his mind to buy or not. Seeing this, Tang Ming couldn't help but speak: "Actually, why should the eldest brother be so embarrassed, this account is actually very easy to calculate, and now you don't need to go to war, the ship is mainly used for inspection and defense." Spending a lot of silver to buy an invincible treasure ship is naturally not cost-effective. β
Tang Ming didn't say these words, Takeo might not really buy it, but being provoked by him, Takeo's head was hot, and he gritted his teeth and roared in a low voice: "Buy, I'll buy!" Isn't it just two million taels, the big brother can still get this money! β
Tang Ming was obviously frightened by Takeo's determination, and he never expected that he would really buy it without negotiating the price at all. But these are no longer important, the important thing is that he can buy one and earn more, and the more good things he has, the better.
"Hahaha, the eldest brother is really refreshing, so let's do it, brother let you go to the treasure shipyard to pick it yourself, of course, this money can't be owed, you can pick it immediately if you pay the money first."
With the word money in his mouth, Takeo was very unhappy about this, but he knew that he had no way to take Tang Ming. He didn't have a good face under the depression, nodded and took the bookkeeper who Tang Ming sent to take the silver taels, and went to get the money and pick the boat together.
As soon as Wu Xiong left, Zheng He walked out of the inner room, and counted Tang Ming with a wry smile: "You kid is in the eyes of money, and you actually sold a treasure ship of less than 800,000 taels of silver for two million taels, which really opened the eyes of the miscellaneous family." Now the miscellaneous family understands why your kid can develop so fast, judging from your kid's behavior, the miscellaneous family thinks that you should be a businessman rather than a big official! β
Zheng He just had to say the word profiteer, if Tang Ming was to follow him on a voyage to do business with those backward small countries, he would definitely be able to make enough money.
Tang Ming laughed dryly twice, and said: "Doesn't it depend on who transformed this treasure ship, how can the improved version of the treasure ship built by my father-in-law after two months of hard research be sold casually." If Takeo wants to, he must pay a sufficient price, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, I am a fair deal with a clear price, isn't it! β
Zheng He knew that he couldn't talk about Tang Ming, so he shook his head and changed the topic: "Seeing that the Ming Dynasty's capital relocation ceremony is almost over, don't you want to go and take a look, this is a rare opportunity to have a comprehensive understanding of the current military strength of the Ming Dynasty." β
Tang Ming was slightly stunned and said, "Father-in-law wants to go over and see?" β
Zheng He didn't hide Tang Ming, nodded and said, "Not only are the miscellaneous families going, but also the master and Mr. Fang, they are also going." But the emperor doesn't seem to welcome us in front of us, so I came to you to find a way to solve it. How can you watch the military parade and the capital relocation ceremony without worry, you kid has always had a lot of ideas, so I'll leave it to you to figure it out! β
This was not to be discussed at all, but directly stuffed into Tang Ming's hands, and the latter could not be pushed out. Zheng He didn't care how Tang Ming needed to worry, after he finished speaking, he left leisurely with his hands behind his back, leaving Tang Ming in a daze to look at his departing back.
If it was just for everyone to take a sneak look, Tang Ming could easily come up with at least a dozen methods, but what Zheng He asked just now was to go openly and watch it in the best place. Judging from Zhu Di's current hostility towards himself, this is simply impossible.
In fact, Tang Ming also wanted to see this unprecedented ceremony of moving the capital and the military parade, so he had to find a way to satisfy the wishes of the three old men and himself no matter what. (To be continued.) )
