Chapter 47: Door-to-door transactions

The defeated Europeans returned, but this time not with horses and arquebuses, but with boxes of gold and silver.

When they first arrived in North America, because of plague, smallpox, yellow fever and the national revenge of the Indians, the mortality rate of the immigrants was extremely high, and those who survived established certain trade relations with the local Indians and became the first immigrants to eat crabs.

The vast North America, because of the restrictions of fishing and hunting culture, at this time there were actually only about five million indigenous Indians, and the huge Inca Empire in South America could not be compared, with enough space for development, more and more Europeans immigrated to make a lot of money from the hands of the North American Indians, so the old immigrants such as Badis still have a lot of cash in their hands.

They already knew from the mouth of the pathfinder that the goods that Ye Feiyu sold to the grizzly tribe were not only extremely varied, but also of far better quality than the rags of the Europeans, and wanted to buy porcelain, spices, sugar and other scarce goods from Ye Feiyu, and their tattered goods would definitely not be able to hide Ye Feiyu, and could only be exchanged for gold, ore, etc.

The grizzly tribesmen were staring at the Europeans on both sides with loaded guns, with a vicious look in their eyes, which made Badis and the others tremble.

In order to avoid misunderstanding, there were not many Europeans who came, just more than a hundred, the most of them were French, and there were not many Englishmen and Spaniards, except for horses carrying gold and silver coins, and their war horses remained outside the valley.

Under Ye Feiyu's lofty prestige and powerful force, the warriors of the Grizzly Bear Tribe did not embarrass Badis and the others, but only scared them fiercely.

Originally, Bardis planned to come to the Bison Valley by himself, and the released prisoners of war and the messenger who returned safely all showed that the Bison Valley did not really mean to retaliate against them, compared to the huge benefits in the transaction, taking this little risk is nothing, and he dared to cross the vast sea to this strange continent to seek opportunities for development, which shows that he is not a coward.

However, the British and Spaniards also had this idea, they didn't know how many goods Ye Feiyu had in their hands, but they definitely couldn't gnaw on any of them, so they finally decided to come over together and share the benefits equally.

Under the guidance of Blusman, Bardis and the others soon arrived outside Ye Feiyu's cowhide tent.

Most of the tents of the grizzly bear tribe are framed with logs and stones, covered with cowhide on the outside, and otter skin, beaver skin, and even bear skin on the inside to keep warm.

Ye Feiyu's tent is also good, it is more than 30 square meters, about two meters high, covered with hundreds of complete cowhides on the outside, and the inside are all precious bear skins, and I don't know where the warriors of the grizzly bear tribe hunted so many grizzly bears, and the ground is also cushioned with animal skins, leaving two fire ponds.

Only three Europeans were allowed into the tents: Badis, Nelson and Siegel. The value of this transaction is amazing, and Bardis and the others are not at ease to hand over tens of thousands of gold coins to their subordinates to bring to the Bison Valley, such a huge amount of gold coins, if they don't watch it personally, it is difficult to ensure that their subordinates will not have a different heart and abscond with the money.

When I entered the tent, although there was no fire in the fire pit inside, the temperature was not low, and it was not as dim as an ordinary tent, but extremely bright. Badis and the others were shocked to find that on several square strange things, there was a ball of glass, which actually shone like a blazing light, and the three of Badis asked themselves to have walked through many places and seen countless strange and strange things, but it was also the first time they had seen such a strange object that could shine brightly in the dark.

These bulbs that use batteries to supply energy are naturally LED storage lights brought by Ye Feiyu from the earth, because there are not many vents in the tent, which is convenient for keeping warm, and it is usually very dim, Ye Feiyu took out the storage light, which can be regarded as a dismount for these European turtles like Badis.

If the development of this plane does not change much, it will be more than two hundred years before the electric light is invented, and it is naturally impossible for Badis and others to see this thing.

Brusman was already surprised, looking at the shocked faces of the three of Badis, he couldn't help but pout, scolded "turtle" with disdain in his heart, and then said to Ye Feiyu respectfully: "Brother Ye, they are here." ”

Ye Feiyu was recording the next things that needed to be dealt with in his notebook at this time, and when he heard Blusman say this, he closed the notebook, looked up at the three of Badis, and smiled slightly: "Everyone, please take a seat." Brother Blussman, you go out first. ”

Blusman's face was anxious, and he said urgently: "Brother Ye, in case they ......"

Ye Feiyu smiled and waved his hand: "It's okay, they can't hurt me." ”

Blusman knew that Ye Feiyu's methods were mysterious, so he had to glare at the three of Badis, and then exited the tent.

Bardis and the others couldn't understand the conversation between Ye Feiyu and Blusman, but they knew from the mouths of the Europeans who went back that Ye Feiyu understood English, so they turned their attention from the strange luminous artifact to Ye Feiyu, the demon.

To be honest, let the three of Badis face Ye Feiyu alone, this arquebus can't beat the terrifying demon that can kill hundreds of people in an instant, the three of Badis are not afraid of being deceitful, if it weren't for the golden gold coins beckoning at them, they wouldn't dare to enter Ye Feiyu's tent alone.

really took a close look at Ye Feiyu, and they found that Ye Feiyu was not as terrible as they imagined, his thin face even had a hint of immaturity, and he looked very approachable.

After being silent for a moment, Siegel did not sit down, and felt awe of Ye Feiyu, a mysterious young man, in his heart, and bowed slightly and said: "Dear Mr. Ye, I, Count Siegel of the Spanish Empire, I heard that Mr. Ye has exquisite porcelain and other goods for sale here?" ”

Ye Feiyu smiled and said, pointed to a wooden box next to him and said, "Yes, they are all high-grade goods, and there is a complete set of porcelain in the wooden box, you can take a look at it for yourself." ”

The nobles who arrived here had no status in Europe, not so much aristocrats as merchants, so Badis and Siegel would get along with Nelson, an Englishman who was originally a merchant, on an equal footing, which was basically impossible in Europe.

As soon as Ye Feiyu's words fell, the three of them walked to the wooden box without any politeness, picked up saucers, teacups, teapots, etc. from the wooden box and looked at them carefully.

At this time, the Europeans did not know much etiquette, and they were far less elaborate than the Chinese civilization of the Celestial Empire.

After carefully reading the several sets of bone china ware in the box, Badis swallowed and said, sure enough, it is of the same quality as the porcelain brought back by those captives, and it is more exquisite than the porcelain of the Great Ming Dynasty in the East.

He asked cautiously: "Mr. Ye, I don't know how many sets of these porcelains Mr. Ye can provide?" All the same quality? ”

Ye Feiyu understands the principle that scarcity is expensive, however, three or five hundred sets of porcelain are separated from France, Britain and other countries, and they can't make a ripple at all, others are afraid that they will lower the price for Europeans, but Ye Feiyu has no worries, you don't buy it, some other Europeans want to trade with him, so he nodded and smiled: "It's all the same quality, as for the quantity, you don't have to worry, it will definitely meet your needs." ”

Nelson's eyes rolled slightly, and then he said cautiously: "Mr. Ye, can all the powerful firearms you said be traded to us?" ”

Ye Feiyu nodded: "Yes, but it's still early to say this time, these firearms are the guarantee of our equal trade, and when everyone is familiar with them later, these firearms will naturally be sold to you." ”

He paused slightly: "Although firearms cannot be traded to you for the time being, in addition to these porcelain, I heard that sugar, tea, and silk cloth are all good commodities in Europe." Also, I have a perfume similar to a fragrance here, you can take a look. ”

On the other side of the tent, there were more than a dozen large and small wooden boxes, which contained the goods Ye Feiyu said.

As expected, the toilet water really caused a huge surprise to Badis and others, but unfortunately, even if it was popular, Ye Feiyu could not provide more to them, he only brought two boxes of twenty-four bottles to test the water, one box was given to Maris, and now there is only a small box left.

Originally, the three of Badis thought that they would have to go through a round of competition to buy the most valuable goods, but now they don't have to fight for it at all, the only question is whether they can bring enough gold coins.

The price of porcelain had actually been set, and after a painful choice, the three of Badis bought the porcelain with half of the gold coins, the rest were two goods, sugar and tea, and the other one divided four bottles of perfume.

Like Maris, they also bought two boxes of cigarettes to test the waters, compared to a small businessman like Maris, who has his own settlement and hundreds of big businessmen and aristocrats, they have a lot of money.

As for the cotton cloth brought by Ye Feiyu, although it feels very good, the Europeans are now pursuing oriental silk, and Badis knows that even if these cotton cloths can be bought at a high price, they are far worse than porcelain, etc., and the limited funds must be used in the most valuable places.
