Chapter 313: A Book of Ten Thousand Profits
Li Shan sat down at the chief's house very politely, Gadot also followed, and Ah San took a few people to guard him. The others were pushed aside by Li Shan, their heavily armed posture would inevitably make the natives feel hostile, and now was the time to do business, and they couldn't show their weapons.
The chief's house set up a fire, and a large piece of flesh with blood and entrails was placed on the fire, and the blood and oil were scorched by the flames, and the smell was not good. They don't know how to cook, and they don't have knives, so they have to use sharp stones to cut through the animals.
Gadot looked at it and frowned, and said, "What does it taste like?" ”
The natives have not yet reached the point of seeking taste, and in their opinion, being able to roast raw meat is already a very satisfying thing. Compared to raw meat, such cooked meat is already delicious.
Li Shan came to the chief, and although the two did not understand the language, they could still communicate through gestures.
Li Shan picked up a burning firewood, extinguished it, and then made a questioning gesture by signaling the chief to come with him.
The chief watched as Li Shan found some soft grass wool and some dry branches and stacked them, and then took out two stones and kept beating them on the hay. To his surprise, when the two stones collided together, they burst into sparks, and after a while, the hay began to smoke, and Li Shan blew lightly on the fire a few more breaths, and the hay burned in an instant.
The chief's eyes lit up, this thing could actually make a fire! It's amazing. For them, if there is no fire, they can only look for it, find the source of the fire. It never occurred to me that fire could be created.
The chief said excitedly to Li Shan, pointing to the people in the tribe and saying something, Li Shan didn't know what he meant. Seeing that Li Shan had not responded, the chief ran out again, and after a while he grabbed two indigenous women and came back, pointed at them and pointed at the flint stone, and kept talking.
Gadot smiled: "It seems that he wants to exchange women for these stones." ”
For the natives, their needs are nothing more than survival and reproduction, and women are often regarded as the highest spoils of war and wealth. Li Shan couldn't cry or laugh, these two women were stunted at first glance, and dirty, no matter from which point of view, Li Shan wanted.
Li Shan waved his hand and said, "I don't want your woman, I want diamonds." Thinking that he didn't understand, he took out the flint again, then pointed to the stone around the chief's neck, and made a gesture of exchange.
The chief took off the bone tooth necklace around his neck and gave it all to Li Shan directly, for him, what are these stone beast bones? You can't eat or drink, it's just a decoration. In contrast, this stone that can be lit means fire, means everything.
Li Shan brought the spices for the barbecue and processed the barbecued meat, and the aroma of the barbecue was overflowing in an instant. These natives smelled the smell of barbecued meat, and their eyes glowed green. The most important thing is the weapon, Li Shan took out a war knife to show the chief its power, and with one knife he split the barbecue in half, and brought a piece of wood, which was also split in half.
Flint and flint, spices, iron, everything was something they had always dreamed of, and the chief was already going crazy, he didn't expect such a pie to fall from the sky, and these people didn't need to exchange people for these things, just some useless beautiful stones.
The chief quickly gathered all the people who had fallen and gathered all the beautiful stones for Li Shan to choose. As Li Shan expected, there were indeed some precious stones and gold in these stones.
It's not a lot, but it's worth a lot. With this small tribe alone, Li Shan harvested a large diamond, a few emeralds and a few rough gold. And the price Li Shan paid was just a flint and steel, a spice and a long knife. Li Shanke won't give them too much, at this time, he will ask for too high objects, let them find gems, and exchange them for gems.
Gadot's eyes were red when he saw it, Li Shan changed so many good things in just a few words, it was incredible.
Gadot said: "You are really a big profiteer, you have exchanged so many treasures with so many broken things, you have really made a lot of money." I also have half of these in it, and you can't take it all to yourself. ”
Gadot finally understood why Li Shan came here with all the difficulty, it turned out that there was really a treasure here. Such a trade is simply a book of profits, too profitable.
Li Shandao: "Why? I discovered this place, I came up with the idea, I came up with the capital, why should I share half of it? Don't talk about how kind you are, when you encounter such a thing, your thoughts are similar to mine. ”
Gadot smiled and said nothing, in fact, he had a plan in his heart. When I go back this time, I must bring troops to come and firmly control this side in my own hands. Friendship is friendship, and interests are interests. This is a matter related to the country, and Gadot will not be humble! The Arab Empire itself was close to Africa, and its strength and navigation skills were better than those of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Shan naturally knew what Gadot would do, but Li Shan was also secretly worried that if this was really the case, I was afraid that things would not be good, but he couldn't let the Arab Empire know about it, otherwise it would be over. Dali could not compete with the Arab Empire in any case, and could not let the Arab Empire get such a rich land. If that's the case, Li Shan may really change the world pattern, but this is not the change that Li Shan wants, and he has to think of a way.
Li Shan said quietly: "I have already asked the chief, there are more big tribes near the snow mountain in front of us, they must have more treasures, let's go deeper and say that there must be more harvest." ”
Gadot said: "This time, if you get a certain amount of deuces." ”
Li Shandao: "It's not okay to divide it evenly, I'm too bad, see you follow me all the way, and I'll give you at most one percent." ”
Gadot smiled: "Although you have a hundred and ten people, but in the big tribe, it is not as simple as it is now, what if they see the wealth and directly serve you and these people?" I can't do without my help! ”
Li Shandao: "That's good, three or seven points, you three and I seven, no more." ”
Gadot smiled and slapped Li Shan's hands and said, "Okay, then it's decided." ”
Gadot doesn't care about this little money, there are more opportunities to make money in the future. And Li Shan was a little hesitant in his heart at this time, Gadot must have other thoughts, Li Shan could feel that at the first time of this meeting in the Arab port, Gadot would definitely control Li Shan firmly, and Li Shan would never want to go back to the Tang Dynasty in this life. And Li Shan had to pretend to be completely unaware at this time, waiting for the opportunity to move. (To be continued.) )
