Chapter 566: Sea Trade Center

"Childe stops, please show your membership card!" Li Su just wanted to enter the sea trade center, but was stopped by a somewhat strange female voice, until then Li Su found that there was a blonde and blue-eyed Persian orchid standing on both sides of the door, and it was the one on the right hand side who stopped him.

"Membership card?" Hearing this name, Li Su's spirit was in a trance, and he felt as if he had returned to the 21st century.

And the Chinese-speaking Persian orchid saw Li Su's stunned appearance, thinking that he immediately guessed something, and immediately smiled and said: "If you don't have a membership card, you can also show your tax slip at the port, and you can enter with the tax bill!" ”

"Tax bill?" At this time, Li Su really smiled bitterly, it seems that the other party really regards himself as a businessman who came to the Lion City, otherwise how could there be a tax bill, but it is not strange to think about it, in addition to maritime merchants in a place like the Sea Trade Center, ordinary people will not come to this kind of place.

Seeing Li Su's hesitation, the Persian orchid on the opposite side immediately understood, and he still smiled at the moment and said: "Since Childe doesn't have a membership card and no tax bill, he must not be a businessman who comes to the Lion City, and this center is generally only open to businessmen, so please go and have a look elsewhere!" ”

Although it is to drive people away, this beautiful Persian orchid smiles and smiles, which makes people feel no disgust in their hearts, and it seems that Wang Guo also knows the charm of beautiful women. And Li Su also smiled slammedly after hearing this: "I see, but I was abrupt!" ”

But just as Li Su pulled the reluctant ugly and Yeon-yeon and prepared to leave, suddenly a plainclothes guard next to him came over, and then handed a token to Li Su, and whispered a few words. At this time, Li Su's face was overjoyed, and he turned around and showed the token in his hand to Hu Ji and said, "I forgot it just now." I wonder if this Assassin's Mansion token might make me wait in? ”

The guards around him are heavily responsible, and sometimes they need to mobilize some people to help. Therefore, every time you go to a place, you need some convenience from the local officials, and the token in the hands of the guards is what you asked for from the king before.

The welcoming orchid was obviously well-informed, and as soon as she saw the token of the Assassin's Mansion, she immediately showed a respectful look, and at the same time said softly: "Childe said that he laughed, this token can even enter the Assassin's Mansion, and our Maritime Trade Center can naturally also enter!" ”

Li Su nodded after hearing this, and casually put the token into his arms. Then he dragged Chou and Yeonyan inside, but immediately after him, ten more people dressed in various costumes, but all of them with strong faces, showed the Assassin's Mansion token and entered the Sea Trade Center, which surprised the two Persian orchids, and guessed the identity of the young man who had just entered.

As soon as Li Su entered the inside, he immediately felt a noise coming to his face, although the square outside was already very noisy, but compared with here. But there is a sense of petty.

What appeared in front of Li Su was a very wide hall, and in this hall, it could be clearly seen that it was divided into several areas. Each area was crowded with people, and Hu and Han merchants dressed in various costumes stood there, staring nervously at the wooden signs hanging on the walls in front of them.

And when Li Su approached, he found out. Originally, this hall was the hall for the release of product information, depending on the type of goods. It is divided into several areas, each of which is managed by dedicated personnel. From time to time, these people take out pieces of wooden signs with transaction information written on them and hang them on the wall, and sometimes they will take down some of the transaction information that has been completed, while those businessmen stare intently at the information on the wall, whenever there is information they need, they will immediately run to the row of management windows below the information, and then contact the person who posted the information through the manager.

However, perhaps because the Haimao Center has just been established, and the businessmen are really eager to sell or buy goods, they are all roaring urgently, and their voices are louder than the other, which looks quite like the style of the futures trading hall in later generations.

Li Su walked along the passage between the various areas with great interest, while Chou Chou and Yeonyan held hands, and their two big black eyes were purring, as if they were very curious about the noise here.

"I've seen Childe, I don't know how I can help you?" At this moment, suddenly a young man dressed as a staff member walked over and asked Li Su with a smile.

And Li Su looked at the other party for a moment, and then said with a smile: "We are businessmen who just arrived here today, and it is the first time to come here, so we are a little unfamiliar, can you help me introduce us?" ”

"Absolutely!" The other party still smiled unchanged, and then pointed to the hall and began to introduce Li Su.

Through the other party's narration, Li Su slowly had a general understanding of the entire Haimao Center. Among them, the first floor where they are located is the largest and most lively floor in the entire sea trade center, because the transactions here are some small goods, the value is not very large, but the merchants who do this kind of business are the most, so it is also more busy and lively.

From the second floor to the fourth floor, all of them are similar to the first layer, except that each layer is classified by the price of commodities, and the higher the price of commodities, the higher the price of commodities. On the last two floors, separate tea rooms have been carved out for the merchants below to discuss business.

"Childe, this is the general situation of this center, I don't know what goods you want to trade, what is the approximate value, I can have someone take you to the corresponding floor." After introducing the situation, the young staff member smiled, it seems that he only regarded Li Su as a businessman who came to trade.

And Li Su pretended to think about it for a while, and then said with a smile: "No need, this time I just brought some scattered goods, and the value is not very high, I'm afraid I can only trade here on the first floor!" ”

"Okay, may I ask what kind of goods you are, Childe, and I will take you to the corresponding trading area." The young staff member spoke again.

However, Li Su was stunned after hearing this, he didn't expect the other party's service to be so thoughtful, he just said casually, but he didn't expect the other party to take him to the trading area, which made Li Su helplessly made up a lie again: "I have a batch of cane sugar, you can take me to the cane sugar trading area!" ”

Sucrose is one of the most representative goods in Taiwan, so Li Su thought of it unconsciously, and the staff on the opposite side did not suspect it, and took Li Su to the cane sugar trading area at the moment, and then introduced some precautions in the trading area to Li Su, and then turned around and left.

At this time, Li Su turned around and looked at the sugar trading area on the first floor, and he was a little surprised to find that there were not many people in the sugar trading area, and there were only about 20 people together.

Li Su was a little surprised at first, but soon figured out what was going on, because the first floor is a small goods trading area, and the price of the goods traded is not too high, and the sucrose is divided into brown sugar and white sugar, of which the price of white sugar is very high, and Taiwan exports to Nanyang, and even Tianzhu, Persia and other places are white sugar.

This is mainly because Tianzhu also produces sucrose there, but the processing technology is limited, and it is impossible to produce white sugar as white as snow, and the Lion City is no exception, most of the sucrose traded is white sugar, and the high price of white sugar must be in the sucrose trading area on the upper floors, and the first floor is estimated to be some low-value brown sugar, which is only for the local people in the Lion City to eat, and the transaction volume is very small, so the people sitting here are all small businessmen.

Because there are too few people, the entire cane sugar trading area seems a little empty, more than 20 small businessmen are all crowded under the trading window, raising their heads to carefully watch the listed transaction information, and Li Su took a look at it casually, and found that the information on whether it is the purchase or sale of sucrose, all of them are not very much, and the price of buying sucrose is not very high, several of the businessmen who are ready to sell sucrose sigh while watching, it is estimated that they are very dissatisfied with the price, and other businessmen are also whispering.

Li Su took the ugly two little girls forward, and then found a seat at random and sat down, wanting to hear what these businessmen were discussing?

"Brother Shi, are we going to lose money this time, I found a few shops before, but no one accepted them, and then the kind old shopkeeper reminded us to let us come here to have a look, but the purchase price on the wall is not very high, should we sell or not?" Just behind Li Su, a fat young man spoke, and next to him was a dark and thin young man, these two people were naturally the stones and piers that came with Li Su and their fleet.

After hearing the words of the pier, the stone shook his head slightly and said: "It's not enough to lose money, but I didn't expect the price of cane sugar in Lion City to drop so quickly, if I knew this, it would be better to go north and transport it to Dengzhou City, although the purchase price of cane sugar there is not high, but it is better to be stable, and it is not worrying about sales, but now it is good, the price of Lion City fluctuates too much, we just rushed to this time, if it is sold at the above price, in addition to renting a boat and expenses along the way, it is estimated that we can make a few dollars in the end." ”

"How many?" They smiled bitterly, they were busy for this batch of goods during this time, but in the end, they only made a few pieces of money, if you count their expenses in the Lion City, it is estimated that these dollars are gone. Thinking of this, Dunzi couldn't help but be a little frustrated.

However, compared to the frustration of the pier, the stone did not lose the slightest discouragement, but stared at the transaction information on the wall with bright eyes, his mind was spinning rapidly, although the sugar business did not make money this time, but it made the stone gain a lot of experience, and most importantly, he also found such a treasure land as the Sea Trade Center, maybe he could find a real way to make money from here.
