499. Organizing a Caravan (I)
"Qing'er, Xue'er, and a few beauties, everyone is here for a meeting!" Jingwen shouted.
Several beauties began to come over for meetings, they didn't know what Jingwen wanted to do, but they all gave Jingwen face and came to the meeting.
"A few beauties, this time I have good news for you. That is, our Datang is ready to go to the Western Regions to do business, and at that time, the money of the Silk Road will continue to come. You should know the trade from the west of Yumen Pass, right? There is a trade route with gold, and if we sell what we have here, we will make a lot of money. Therefore, now that we have made a relevant agreement with the Turks, we naturally cannot miss this opportunity, and we have to make money hard. If we miss it, then we will probably regret it for the rest of our lives! Jingwen said.
And Cheng Lin immediately asked in surprise: "This trade route has been opened?" ”
"That's right, I tell you one news, that is, the Turks have surrendered to my Tang Dynasty and have taken the initiative to open this trade route to our Tang Dynasty merchants. When the time comes, as long as I am a powerful businessman, I can form a caravan together and go to the Western Regions to do business. This kind of business is very profitable, and of course we have to seize it. As long as we can go to Europa and go back and forth for a total of a year, then we will get a profit of several times or even more than ten times, and this will make a lot of money. Moreover, the Turks will not only not plunder, but will protect us. Now the Turks, in order to compete for the position of Khan, I am afraid that they all want the support of the Tang Dynasty with red eyes, and it is almost impossible for them to come and loot us. Jingwen said.
A few of them didn't listen, and their eyes lit up. Because if the Turks don't loot, the profits are really huge. The trade route to the Western Regions has been profitable since ancient times, and it can make countless people blush. Even a few beauties, the layman, understand how lucrative the Silk Road was. This trade route is recorded in the history books. However, it was previously occupied by the Western Turks. The trade routes between the Tang Dynasty and the Western Regions were cut off, and as a result, huge benefits could not be obtained from it. Now that the Western Turks have opened up this trade route, isn't that heaven allowing itself to rise? And the imperial court also needs to organize official caravans to go to the Western Regions, and then obtain huge benefits and then use them to complete the cultivation of troops, military reform, the establishment of firearms troops, and even various administrative matters need to spend money. With money, the country can develop!
"Husband, let's organize the manpower immediately. Go earn money right away. However, this time we are going to organize people to go to the Western Regions, what are we going to sell? Cheng Lin asked.
Jingwen immediately said: "Of course, first of all, we must sell those things that are light in weight, small in size, and can make a lot of money." For example, tea, Westerners will definitely love tea! ”
"Why?" Cheng Lin asked in disbelief.
Now there is no popular tea in the Tang Dynasty, but why is Jingwen so eloquently sure that Westerners like tea? And they didn't know at all that Jingwen was judged based on the experience of later generations. Later generations of Chinese tea can be said to be very profitable in the West. In addition to silk porcelain, the most profitable is tea. Silk porcelain, these two industries Jingwen started too late, and it is impossible to monopolize it too much. But tea is different. Tea is now almost monopolized by Jingwen, so Jingwen can get the most profits. As for silk and porcelain, Jingwen could not be monopolized. Rather than choosing a business that is unlikely to make the most profits, it is better not to set your sights on an industry that has not yet been developed. Be the leader of the industry.
"Also, women in the West have a strong smell on their bodies, so we might as well take some perfume. The women over there should like it. Jingwen said.
"Western women have a smell on their bodies? Husband, have you ever been in contact with Western women? We Turkic women also have a taste, but at that time, because of long-term contact with horses, cattle and sheep, we only had it. As long as you leave the horses, cattle and sheep, there is not much left to take a bath. Are Western women born with taste? Ashinayun asked.
"I've heard, I've heard! But it's better to bring some perfume along. Jingwen said.
Where does Jingwen know if Western women have a taste, anyway, he just heard about it. Anyway, Jingwen is just an otaku in the future, where is the opportunity to come into contact with beautiful foreign girls, not to mention this kind of almost very intimate contact, so Jingwen naturally doesn't know if this legend is true or false. However, there should be no problem for Western women to like perfume, as long as there are more beautiful women in the world, there is no one who does not like perfume. It can be said that as long as it is a woman, she likes perfume. However, it depends on the individual's financial strength and personal preference type. Even, there are quite a few men who like perfumes. A man's liking of perfume does not mean that he is a glass, on the contrary, there are many times when men spray perfume, but to attract women!
Perfume is also an industry that Jingwen can monopolize, because at present, only Jingwen can produce perfume in the Central Plains, and this is also a huge profit. In the next few decades, as long as Jingwen's status is not greatly reduced, no one will have the courage to involve Jingwen's tea and perfume industries. And Jingwen also plans to sell tea and perfume to foreign countries, because this international trade is a hugely profitable business, and the little money in China is not comparable at all. As for the country, Jingwen will not snatch that bit of food with them in the future, Jingwen mainly does international luxury, and tea and perfume are the focus.
"Husband, do you want to inform the merchants who are friendly with us, and ask them to organize people to go to the Western Regions together. When the time comes, our entire Datang will organize a huge caravan to go over, and we can also take care of each other! Liu Qing asked.
"Yes, anyway, there is too much money in the Western Regions to make money, and there is no need for us to keep it secret. The supplies for us in the Western Regions can be said to be as much as we can eat, and we don't have to worry about sales at all. We don't need to offend our friends for this endless market, this is first-hand information! Cheng Lin, you can also inform your adoptive mother and stepmother to let the Cui family behind her also form some caravans, this is a great benefit! We are also not bad people to treat our friends and ask them to hurry up and buy supplies. If this news spreads, I'm afraid that the prices of all kinds of materials needed in the Western Regions will increase! Don't take advantage of the fact that there is no news to disclose now, hurry up and purchase! Jingwen said. (To be continued......)
