Chapter 312: Double the price
Xiangyun's guess was correct, Abramo's idea of transferring goods was indeed wrong.
It's not that the goods haven't arrived, but they've actually arrived. It's just that the number is too small. After finding a few well-connected peers to transfer goods, several got together, but they still didn't even have half of the goods in Abramo's hands.
The only peer who still has a lot of inventory in hand has some disputes because of the competition in the business in the past. Although Abramo promised to receive this batch of goods at the market price, the reaction of the people was that if they wanted to take the goods, they could, and the price would be increased by 50%!
In the face of this obviously deliberate and embarrassing approach, as Abramo's subordinates, he naturally did not dare to agree on his behalf. Only then did he rush back to report first, and the goods that were transferred were coming to the shop in the back.
"Fifty percent!! He also dared to open his mouth for this!! After listening to the report of his subordinates, Abramo who knew that he could not be blamed on the other party for this matter, his eyes were full of anger.
But anger is anger, and Abramo also knows that even if he increases the price by 50%, he is not without profit.
Although on the surface, the price after the price increase of 50% is indeed a loss of money. But don't forget, what someone uses to pay is not copper coins or silver taels, but extremely rare and extremely valuable "walking beads".
If you can bring that bag of "walking beads" back to your own country and sell it, the profit you can get at that time will not be said to be a five-fold increase, or a five-fold increase in the amount you still have.
Thinking of this, Abramo did not hesitate, and directly ordered: "Five is fifty percent." Tell him that I'm going to order! ”
"But ......" Seeing that his master had actually made such a decision, the young Hu man, who was a powerful man, couldn't help but want to persuade.
"No more talk, just do what I say, quick!" Zhilu said that his subordinate was also well-intentioned, so Abramo did not blame the other party for talking too much, but waved his hand and stubbornly commanded.
Seeing that his master had already said this, the young Hu Shang could only sigh, turned around and ran towards the outside of the store again.
"Wait!" I watched as my right-hand man turned to leave. Abramo, who suddenly thought of a question, hurriedly shouted.
"Master?" I thought that the other party was ready to cancel the young Hu man who had just been ordered. Said.
"If you go this time, if that person is embarrassed and the price is less than doubled, you can agree!" Some gnashing teeth of Abramo. Said.
"What?!" Directly dumbfounded young Hu man. Said incredulously.
"Don't go yet!!" Abramo didn't have the time to explain to the other party at all. Glaring at him, he scolded.
Seeing that his master didn't seem to have said the wrong thing, the young Hu man could only hurriedly run out.
Fortunately. The places where the Hu merchants gathered were relatively close, and it was less than two quarters of an hour before and after, and the young Hu people finally returned with a full load.
When he saw the Kunlun slaves walking down from the specially escorted car, Abramo, who rushed out to greet him as soon as he received the news, was finally completely relieved.
After Abramo asked about the transaction from his right-hand man, who had a very bad expression on his face, he realized that his previous advice was indeed not in vain. That guy actually doubled the price of the fifty percent increase.
Fortunately, even if the relationship between Hu merchants is not good, such as this malicious price increase, they will abide by the rules of the circle in terms of buying and selling, and after the price is set, they only need to write a document or something like that, and they can take the goods away without paying.
In fact, it is not surprising that Hu Shang's circle in Datang is only that big after all. Once Abramo does something like taking the goods and not giving money, he will not need the seller to make a move at that time, and he will naturally be squeezed out of the circle by all the Hu merchants.
Even, once the relevant news reaches Arabia, or Persia and other places, then Abramo will not have to do business again. Because no one will do business with a liar, it will not be as simple as dozens of Kunlun slaves to lose at that time.
For the seller's side, although the price is raised, but he does not dare to do anything on the goods, and the batch of Kunlun slaves sent are all very good goods. If you don't do this, once the news spreads, you will also be ostracized by your peers.
As for the issue of starting prices, although there are elements of difficulty, but in terms of trading, it is just a means to strive for more profits, even if it will be shameful, but this kind of behavior of Jiang Taigong fishing and willing people taking the bait is not a violation of the rules in the Hu business circle.
After all the Kunlun slaves gathered in that large courtyard, counting Abramo's own group of those seconded at a peaceful price, the number of Kunlun slaves in the courtyard reached sixty-four.
Abramo had twenty-five Kunlun Nu in his hand, and ten were seconded from his peers at a flat price, but in the end, he got twenty-nine Kunlun Nu at a price of double the price, which was more than Abramo's hand.
For Li Anran, this Kunlun slave is obviously not enough. But seeing that in a short period of time, there can only be so much collected, and it can only be put together first.
After confirming that the quantity was no problem with the quality of this batch of Kunlun slaves, Li Anran, who was welcomed back to the hall, paid according to the price negotiated before. Since there is no way to cut the pearl, the excess price is used as a deposit for the next transaction.
Seeing that this deal was finally closed, Abramo's hanging heart finally fell completely. After carefully checking the "walking beads" in his hand to confirm that there was no problem, his face, which was gloomy about the price increase, suddenly became happy.
It's just that happy is happy, and Abramo hasn't forgotten what he's doing. After all, the reward I got also included the deposit for the next transaction, and if I didn't explain this matter clearly, I couldn't feel at ease with the money in my hands.
After putting the "Walking Beads" into a very luxurious box brought by the orchid, Abramo, who became more and more humble, said: "Distinguished guest, I wonder when you plan to leave?" ”
"When will you be ready to go?" Li Anran, who did not give an answer, asked rhetorically.
"Ten days, you can leave after ten days." Considering that this time he could not return to China empty-handed as before, and it would take a certain amount of time to purchase the corresponding goods, after a deep sigh, Abramo raised a finger and said.
Li Anran, who knew that Hu Shang would bring Datang specialties every time he returned to China, so that he could make a lot of money, was not surprised to answer like this, and nodded immediately and said: "Then after ten days, see you fifty miles outside the West City Gate." ”
"Fifty miles outside the West City Gate?" Abramo, who didn't expect to get this reply, was stunned for a moment and said, "If there is an accident, how can I contact the distinguished guest?" ”
"There's no need to contact, if I can't wait for you after ten days, this agreement will be over." Li Anran, who didn't want to reveal his whereabouts, said coldly.
"This ...... Or, according to what the distinguished guest said, we will meet fifty miles outside the west city gate after ten days. In the face of such an answer, I wanted to say that who can't encounter a change in business, wouldn't it be very inconvenient if I couldn't get in touch, but seeing the cold look in someone's eyes, the words that came to my mouth Abramo swallowed it back.
After negotiating the time and place of the next meeting, Li Anran, who knew that it was not early, did not want to be blocked in the city. At that moment, he directly declined Abramo's warm invitation, and directly got into the carriage waiting outside and walked towards the west city gate.
As for the sixty-four Kunlun slaves plus one tongue man, they were all stuffed into special cars, and then one followed by the other and rushed towards the west city gate.
When he learned that Li Anran needed to buy the car, Abramo, who had just made a big business and made a lot of money, naturally didn't care about this little money, and directly regarded the car as a gift. In addition, he was worried about the inconvenience of the car going out of the city, so he specially sent his right-hand men to accompany him, so as not to cause any trouble.
Although it is not a small amount of money, Li Anran also knows that if he goes to get a car by himself, the movement will inevitably be bigger. So he didn't refuse the other party's kindness.
Since Xishi is very close to Jinguangmen in the west of Chang'an City, it didn't take too much time for the convoy to come to Jinguangmen. (To be continued......)
