Chapter 42: The Women of Mohican
"Black Hitomi, what can you exchange for these stones I found?"
A young woman in her thirties, who was fairly good-looking, came to Zhao Hongyu and asked a little nervously in front of their trade point.
When Zhao Hongyu and Wang Shan returned to Moxi's cadres, Wang Shan conveyed the news that trade could be started in accordance with Zhao Hongyu's instructions the next morning.
The Mohican women, who had been waiting for trade for a long time, came to Zhao Hongyu's yurt and waited after getting the news.
Although Zhao Hongyu had a verbal agreement with them earlier, saying that after they collected those stones, they could exchange them for goods on Zhao Hongyu's side, but Zhao Hongyu was too lazy to exchange them little by little, and just asked them to save up the collected gold and only trade it after a certain amount.
Therefore, when there was no trade, the hearts of these Mohican women were not so steady.
Now, Zhao Hongyu has released the news, saying that it is possible to carry out trade. The Mohican women were unhappy, but the problem was that they didn't know how to make a deal, so they were very uneasy.
Regarding this issue, Zhao Hongyu has long been given full authority to Zhang Tie, a guy who is very interested in business. According to the conditions given by Zhao Hongyu in advance, Zhang Tie sat in front of the yurt and gave answers one by one.
Considering that the mineral veins in the deep forest are mining for gold, and these Indian women have to be in the cold stream, Zhao Hongyu also had to offer a 'conscience' price, after all, he is not the kind of guy with a black heart, and he has to build his rise on the blood and bones of the Indians.
Two hundred grams of gold can be exchanged for three axes and a bag of old rice (fifty catties) from Zhao Hongyu.
Such a price, in the eyes of the women of Mohican, is really a price that cannot be more conscientious and fair.
It is worthy of a noble black pupil, a fair black pupil......
How much is three axes? An inferior axe is no longer available in the city, that is, there are still some markets in the countryside, but it is only the price of thirty or forty yuan.
Three axes, a hundred pieces of wood in the sky!
Fifty catties of Chen rice, even if it is three yuan a catty, it is only one hundred and fifty yuan.
But what about the price of gold!
The price on the space-time trader has soared from 320 yuan to 340 yuan, after all, this price is going to float with the gold price in the 21st century.
Zhao Hongyu clearly knows that in the 21st century, the price of gold in some cities in China has almost broken through the 400 yuan mark.
Therefore, the price given by the space-time trader is still very fair.
The Indian women, exchanging the gold they mined with Zhao Hongyu, were only exchanging for goods worth less than a gram of gold. In other words, Zhao Hongyu's profit from this transaction is as high as 200 times!
What kind of business can have 200 times the profit? Even drugs and arms don't have such high profits.
According to Zhao Hongyu's rules, these Indian women must also dig at least 200 grams of gold before they can trade with Zhao Hongyu once.
In other words, every time he trades, Zhao Hongyu can also get at least 200 grams of gold. But all he needs to pay is 300 yuan of products, which is equivalent to a gram of gold.
I have to say that it's crazy to do such a business.
And Zhao Hongyu is not worried at all about that mineral vein, which will not bring benefits to these Mohican gold digging women.
You must know that the current gold ore vein has not been developed for thousands of years or tens of thousands of years. So much so that the gold is exposed to the surface and can be easily mined. …,
As long as you are not a lazy person and are a little diligent, then you can exchange goods from Zhao Hongyu and live a 'rich' life.
In the stream of that vein, and on the crevices of quartz stone exposed on the outer wall of the rock, the golden veins show the abundance of the vein.
Even if it is this surface mining, in Zhao Hongyu's opinion, it will take a while.
As long as he is given some time, he may not be able to buy those large machines from the space-time trader and start digging deeper.
Time! For Zhao Hongyu, it is the most precious.
Of course, money is also what Zhao Hongyu needs most.
Without money, how could he breed a genetic man? If he doesn't have money, how can he invest in copycat research institutes, how can he produce new products and machinery.
If he didn't have the money, how could he buy goods and trade with the Mohicans?
Zhao Hongyu's future rise now is based on the fact that he can maintain continuous trade.
"This is the gold I found, can you see the quantity?" When the trade began, the Mohican woman, who was in first place, untied a pouch sewn from her waist made of marmot skin.
She opened the mouth of the bag, then flipped it over and poured the gold onto the table in front of Zhang Tie.
Zhang Tie and the others did not have a weighing machine on hand, and neither did the Mohicans.
So, how do you measure how much gold weighs?
Faced with this problem and such a situation, Zhao Hongyu has certainly taken it into account. In order to cope with such a situation, and in order to facilitate the opening of the transaction, Zhao Hongyu found a pebble, which weighed about 200 grams.
After having this stone, Zhao Hongyi found a wooden stick and made a simple scale.
And just like that, a weights and measures for trading appeared.
In fact, how heavy this stone is, Zhao Hongyu himself has no score.
In short, there is such a thing that is probably fine. As for the amount of more and less, there is no way to do it, Zhao Hongyu can also think of it.
Anyway, the profit he earned from this sale was absolutely sufficient, and he wouldn't care if it was less.
Besides, it was not easy for the Mohican women, who had to stand in the icy water of the stream to dig for gold. If this goes on for a long time, you will have rheumatism or something.
This is a lifelong illness, and Zhao Hongyu feels a little guilty in his heart.
After all, Zhao Hongyu is not the kind of black-hearted capitalist who can knock on the bone and suck the marrow.
If he could, Zhao Hongyu even thought about it, as long as he researched plastic water boots or half-body clothing, he would definitely supply them to the gold panning women of Moxican for free as soon as possible.
Only in this way will his conscience feel better.
Zhang Tie gathered the scattered gold grains on the tabletop together, and then put them in a small wooden bowl.
The stone on the opposite side of the bowl was raised high, indicating that the amount of gold was sufficient.
Zhang Tie nodded, then turned back and beckoned to Mu Ne's subordinates standing behind him with a face: "Give this lady those three axes and fifty catties of rice." After receiving the order, the genetically man turned and walked into the yurt, and quickly took out three axes and a sack of rice in a sack.
After receiving these things, a deep smile suddenly bloomed on the face of the Mohican woman, showing that she was in a very good mood at this time.
"Ha Luha, I can't imagine that those useless stones can really be exchanged for food." , The women in the back talked about it, and it seemed very incredible.
They couldn't figure it out, what kind of useless stone did the black pupils need to be brainless? …,
However, they didn't bother with such a thing, and it was the black pupils that were going to be exchanged anyway. It wasn't they Mohicans who forced him, so he liked to exchange so he would.
Everything that follows is very orderly.
After taking out the gold, Zhang Tie checked the weight, as long as it was qualified. Then the transaction will go smoothly, and the Mohican women are also very honest, and no one is playing tricks.
"I don't want an axe, can you give me mustard?"
When it was the turn of a Mohican woman, she offered to exchange something else with some trepidation.
Yes, not every Mohican household needs an iron axe or rice or something. Some of them hope to be able to trade mustard, or two pots and matches.
Zhang Tie smiled and said, "There is no problem at all, our goods here can be exchanged with you at will." ”
For such a situation, Zhao Hongyu and they had expected it a long time ago. And a very 'reasonable' price has been formulated, that is, no matter how it is exchanged, it will basically not exceed the price of one gram of gold.
You want mustard, yes, no problem at all.
How many packages of mustard for 300 yuan are given to you.
Want matches?
Ok, no problem at all, a dollar match can give you three hundred boxes!
The man in the family wants to have a second pot head?
This is simple, twenty bottles of two pot heads!
Just seeing a few stones in the forest could be exchanged for so many things, and the Mohican women were all excited.
Zhao Hongyu did not come to the Moxi dry tribe, whether it was spring, summer, autumn or winter. The women of Moxican have nothing to do, they just watch the children at home, and live to skin and dry the prey that the men have hit.
After Zhao Hongyu appeared, they suddenly discovered that they could also make some contributions to the family, to earn food for the men and children to feed them.
And that doesn't excite them yet!
Most importantly, the work of panning for gold is not difficult or hard at all in their opinion.
It's like walking around the steppe and picking up wild beasts discarded by other tribes.
Tomorrow I will ask my sister to go to the gold panning, her children are very good at eating, as long as I do this for three days in exchange for fifty catties of rice, it is too easy, so that their family will never go hungry again.
In the crowd, some women began to think carefully, ready to pull their relatives in together.
Now I can support my family, and I can get food to fill my stomach! You can also buy a man's favorite two-pot head, and if he still can't move in the future, he will beat me! If you beat me again, I won't give him rice......
The transaction, with the Mohican women in mind, went smoothly.
