Chapter 365: The Lion Opens His Mouth

Limestone and iron ore can also be compared by Tang Ming, limestone is not difficult to find or difficult to mine, and iron ore is not easy to mine in addition to being difficult to find. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info these two things are not comparable at all, but they are used by Tang Ming to fool people, if Watanabe Village really agreed to Tang Ming, then the cost of this city wall is far higher than using stones to build.

After some consideration, Watanabe Village seemed to be dissatisfied and said: "Hou Ye is such a lion with a big mouth, it seems that there is no integrity at all!" The strange goods can live in the village and understand this truth, but your price is too high. Besides, if your cement is really so expensive, the village believes that Hou Ye will definitely not be defeated, and the entire wharf is built with this thing, as well as these houses! ”

The smart woman coupled with her natural carefulness made Tang Ming feel a little bit of pressure. In the face of such a calculating woman, it doesn't seem easy to fool. Tang Ming had to reconsider lowering the price appropriately, the maximum profit must be fought for, this is an inevitable thing, but he also has to iron ore, on such a basis, the sea must consider the maximization of his own interests, it is indeed annoying enough.

Fei Xin, who was quietly hiding on the side at the moment and never spoke, was already convinced by Hou Ye, and he couldn't know what cement was. This thing can now burn 10,000 catties a day from the three stoves on Ryukyu Island alone, which is not at the highest efficiency. This kind of thing has to be exchanged with other people's iron ore, and a pound of cement is exchanged for nearly ten pounds of iron ore for others, unless Watanabe Village's head is kicked by a donkey, otherwise where would she agree This is obviously a matter of being pitted.

It's also thanks to Tang Ming's courage, a mouth is a thousand times the price, it's not bad not to be regarded as a fool by others, what kind of business are you talking about!

After Tang Ming thought about it for a while, with a painful expression on his face, he said viciously: "Since Miss Watanabe is so sincere and wants to make this deal with Benhou, it's okay!" Let's just order, a pound of cement at a price for a pound of iron ore for you, if you can accept it, then we will talk about the following things, if you can't accept it, then so be it! ”

Watanabe Murako saw Tang Ming's resolute face, and he could hear from his tone that he was not joking. Although the one-to-one exchange ratio is still too expensive, their Watanabe family has nothing else but iron ore, 100,000 catties of iron ore, in exchange for 100,000 catties of cement, this thing should be enough to build a large city wall.

Although Watanabe Village is still unwilling in her heart, cement is something she urgently needs, and she is not at a loss anyway. Thinking of this, Watanabe Village was simply fine, and nodded directly and agreed to Tang Ming's request.

As soon as he saw that the people agreed, Tang Ming's guy immediately reverted to that smiling expression, rubbing his hands and not wanting to delay for a moment, he smiled and said: "Then we will hand over cement with one hand and iron ore with the other, the dock of my Ryukyu Island is enough for your forty ships to dock, let's load and unload it at one time, although there are not many things, it takes a lot of time." If you have any questions during this period, Miss Watanabe can ask General Fei to answer for you, and he can do everything on the dock! ”

"Master Hou has something to do, even if he is in a hurry to go to the village, so I won't bother, I'll order someone to drive the boat into the dock." Watanabe Village told the news, and walked out without looking back with two entourage.

Fei Xin couldn't hold back at the moment, leaned over to Tang Ming's side and muttered in a low voice: "Master Hou is really going to sell cement to her, although we made money by exchanging cement for iron ore, but haven't you always hated the island country the most?" How can this still be willing to sell them cement. ”

Tang Ming patted Fei Xin's shoulder and said with an unfathomable expression: "Brother Fei, do you think that a tall and sturdy cement city wall, under the absolutely powerful artillery bombardment, the city wall will not fall?" Although cement is also a strategic material, it is not the most important, compared to the iron ore used to make cannons, ships and looting, which do you think is more important? ”

Fei Xin is also an old fritter in the army, and after Tang Ming's mention, he immediately thought of the key to it. The cement is sold to Watanabe Village as a finished product, not a manufacturing process. This is equivalent to a one-time transaction and will not harm Tang Ming anywhere, on the contrary, if Watanabe Village pulls this cement to the island country and finds that it is even better than she imagined, she must continue to pull iron ore in exchange for it, this is a profitable business, why not do it.

Besides, there is no eternal enemy in the mall, even on the battlefield, as long as everything is aligned with interests, there is nothing difficult to negotiate.

"Master Hou is reasonable, Fei Xin has been taught!" Sincerely saluted Tang Ming, Fei Xin said goodbye and left, the batch of cement that was a little damp in the warehouse should take this opportunity to take out all of it for trading. As for the quality of the cement, Fei Xincai didn't bother to care, and the people went to their island country to build a city wall, not on Ryukyu Island. Even after the city wall fell, he was happy.

Watanabe did not return to the docks, but watched the laborers loading and unloading goods back and forth like ants on the boat. Tang Ming's performance just now made her very suspicious of her, in order to prevent Tang Ming from taking the opportunity to do anything with the weight of the cement, she felt that she had better keep an eye on it.

There are not many workers loading and unloading at the wharf at the moment, only about 3,000 people, and it took two days to load and unload 100,000 catties of iron ore and 100,000 catties of cement. Watanabe also personally supervised the boat for two days, and she found that the weight of the cement was not less, but also much more. It made her a little embarrassed, she thought that Tang Ming would do something about weight, but it turned out that she lived the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.

The impression of Tang Ming has changed greatly, and after Watanabe Village said goodbye to Tang Ming very sincerely, he returned to the island country with the fleet full of joy.

And Tang Ming didn't care about calculating how much benefit he had received this time, because the sudden appearance of Watanabe Village had delayed his trip to Luzon by a day. Tomorrow he is going to start, and there are a lot of troublesome things to prepare for in a hurry, so this time he should be a little busy.

It's just that he was busy saying goodbye to his two beautiful wives at home, and he had to leave in a hurry not three days after he came back from Daming. Tang Ming also felt uncomfortable in his heart, but fortunately, Chen Jialan was empathetic, and in turn comforted Tang Ming, Tang Ming, who had nothing to repay, could only race against time to exist with them.
