Chapter 197: Negotiating with the Prime Minister
It's a pity that now, all the things she takes out are the ones she rarely touches.
The only lapis lazuli that Su Manxue has ever touched is estimated to be the one that Ji Jiuhua gave her to calm her nerves, but that doesn't mean anything at all.
Su Manxue didn't know what grade that lapis lazuli belonged to, so she couldn't talk nonsense in the face of what the emperor said.
Although Su Manxue didn't say what the lapis lazuli was, at least in Su Manxue's personal feeling, it was not a high-grade lapis lazuli, but at a glance, it could be regarded as a high-grade lapis lazuli.
Not long after the emperor finished speaking, the palace maids over there had already lifted the box, and it could be seen that the emperor wanted to facilitate this transaction immediately, so Su Manxue probably had some numbers in her heart.
When the box was opened, a touch of blue was revealed inside the box.
Unlike the sapphire that Su Manxue bought a few days ago, this piece of lapis lazuli is dark blue, and it is not transparent, which looks very comfortable.
Su Manxue had seen lapis lazuli, but when she saw this batch, she couldn't help but want to exclaim, this batch of lapis lazuli was so beautiful.
This batch of lapis lazuli not only looks free of impurities, but also very beautiful, no matter from which point of view, this batch is indeed extremely high quality, Su Manxue thought, the emperor of the Qingjin Kingdom really did not fool himself, what he said was true, saying that it was the best, it was the best.
"I believe that Young Lady Ji has also seen that this batch of stones is indeed extraordinary, if it weren't for the urgent need for this amount of silver in the Qingjin Kingdom now, I would be reluctant to take out this batch of lapis lazuli and sell it.
After all, if this was placed in a better peaceful year, it might be sold at a higher price, but now it is really forced to sell all of this at a low price. ”
The emperor of Qingjin Kingdom showed a trace of regret on his face, and there were many tired looks on his face, obviously he had a lot of worries about this matter, and now that there is a solution, he has been working hard, and he also wants to get a more reasonable answer.
"I can understand the emperor's feelings, but in business, I am not here to help the poor, even if I can help you, I am just doing my best, I will not make any concessions."
Su Manxue still has a little more respect for the emperor of Qingjin Kingdom, after all, the emperor who thinks about the people is indeed the luck of a country.
He had completely other paths to take, but in the face of many choices, he took the most difficult path, which was what Su Manxue admired the most.
"For the quality of this batch of lapis lazuli, the price I paid before was indeed low, but I can only sell 100,000 taels of silver for this batch of lapis lazuli at most."
Su Manxue calculated in her heart, the price she offered at the beginning was actually still low, she just left the other party a little room for bargaining at the beginning, and she didn't say too much.
Sure enough, this price is still a little different from the price expected by the emperor of the Qingjin Kingdom in his heart, the emperor of the Qingjin Kingdom frowned slightly, obviously still thinking, Su Manxue was not in a hurry, but gave the emperor of the Qingjin Kingdom time, and the transaction was made when he saw it, and it was not a little bit of time.
"150,000 taels of silver, this is already the lowest price, in the country of lapis lazuli over the years, the trend of lapis lazuli is indeed low, we all admit this.
But in the face of the average sales price of all countries, it is impossible to buy such a high-quality lapis lazuli with 100,000 taels of silver, even if we are in a hurry to sell it, you must not take advantage of the fire to buy it at such a low price.
The appraiser of the Treasure Pavilion here is still here, and he knows exactly what the price is, and we didn't let him fake it, but told you the real valuation, this money is absolutely impossible, so he sold all the lapis lazuli so easily. ”
It was Prime Minister Xiang who spoke, he didn't sleep well last night, and he was worried about his daughter's affairs early this morning, looking at Ji Jiuhua at the moment, he always felt that he was the one who brought disaster to the country and the people.
Otherwise, how could his daughter be stubborn like this, if he didn't appear in Qingjin Country this time, his daughter would not have embarked on a path to leave home.
Prime Minister Xiang didn't expect that all this was because of his own reasons, and it had nothing to do with Ji Jiuhua at all, Ji Jiuhua's good-looking was also his own business, and what could he rely on?
He himself didn't like Ji Jiuhua very much, and now when he heard Ji Jiuhua's offer, he even felt that Ji Jiuhua was a profiteer, and Prime Minister Xiang didn't want to continue talking to him, but it was impossible for the emperor to make a mistake in front of him.
The emperor of Qingjin Kingdom can also see that Prime Minister Xiang is not in a good mood, and he probably knows why this is based on the news he has known in the past two days.
Originally, the matter of Xiang Si and Ji Jiuhua had already reached his ears, which was not an appropriate thing, but now looking at the meaning of the prime minister, Xiang Si is probably still insisting on going her own way.
Prime Minister Xiang is probably very distressed at this time, although the emperor can understand his own Aiqing's feelings, but he also knows what is more important, compared to the problem of winter in front of him, even the children of the royal princesses are nothing.
The emperor of Qingjin Kingdom coughed lightly and signaled to Prime Minister Xiang to pay attention to his words and deeds, and he must not lose his temper, Prime Minister Xiang naturally knew how to measure, and he was not too excited, but simply negotiated the price with Ji Jiuhua and Su Manxue.
Seeing that Su Manxue was still thinking carefully with her head down, Xiang Xiang thought of a little more and continued to speak, "This transaction is different from the last time, not only did we sell this batch of lapis lazuli to you, but even the later transportation we have already undertaken, this is also a property, this is also what we bear, we can't sell the stone at a loss, so it doesn't meet its own value." ”
Xiang Si continued to put on a thinking attitude, what Xiang Prime Minister said was not wrong, in all aspects, what he said now was reasonable, after all, this time the transportation was also handed over to them Qingjin Kingdom to deal with, and it was reasonable to open some more prices, so Su Manxue raised her head and continued to talk to Xiang Cheng.
"I am willing to give the price to 120,000 silver as the price of this batch of stones, after all, its price is relatively high, and Qingjin Country also contracted the cost of transportation."
Su Manxue estimated that the other party might ask for more, so she left some leeway, although she rested early last night, but when she got up early in the morning, Su Manxue quietly went to a few shops around the area, and asked about the market of lapis lazuli in Qingjin Country, she probably knew what the price was in recent days.
But such a high quality is indeed something I just saw, so Su Manxue had to change her way of doing things a little more.
