Chapter 60: Double the Price!
In the evening, Li Yunqing and the others finally arrived at the top of the snow-capped mountain, which is a small platform. Seeing the coolie gate neatly place six hundred boxes of iron ore in one place, Li Yunqing and the others sat down together, built a bonfire and waited for the other party's people to come. Li Yunqing picked up the fire with a stick, and asked Master Qu casually: "Why do you have to come to this kind of place to trade, it's really inconvenient!" ”
Master Qu said with a playful smile: "Huang Gongzi, this place is not very good, but it is relatively safe, who would have thought that there would be hundreds of thousands of taels of silver traded every month on the top of this snowy mountain?" As long as you can earn money, it's nothing to be tired! When he said the word silver, the greed in Master Qu's eyes really made Li Yunqing despised.
Li Yunqing changed his words and then asked: "When will the people from Bing Aoguo come over, it will be dark now!" ”
Liu Wu saw that Li Yunqing was a little impatient, and hurriedly said, "Master, don't worry! Those monsters are dragging their feet, but according to past experience, they should be able to come over before sunset, and today's transaction will definitely be completed! At this point, Liu Wu pointed to the other side of the mountain and said, "Master, look, you can see Bing Aoguo when you stand in that place!" ”
Hearing this, Li Yunqing got up and walked towards the place pointed by Liu Wu, looking at the white expanse of land, there was no end in sight, and the snow there seemed to be bigger than the top of the mountain. If you look closely, you can see some strange fortress-like buildings, full of exotic atmosphere. Li Yunqing had never been to Bingao Country, not even the border, and this was the first time he had seen a foreign scenery in his life.
At this time, there was a voice not far from where Li Yunqing was standing, and it didn't take much effort for a team of people to show their heads. Li Yunqing looked carefully, these people were all wearing split jackets, but their style was different from Daqian, their hair was curly, their eyes were blue, and many of them had big beards. There weren't many people in this team, only five or six on the left and right.
Master Qu and Liu Wu hurriedly greeted the person when they saw the comer, and they didn't know what to say, so the two glanced at Li Yunqing and led one of the six big men to Li Yunqing's side. I only heard Master Qu say: "Huang Gongzi, this is Mejieev, our old customer!" ”
This big man named Mejieev stretched out his hand to Li Yunqing, and Li Yunqing hugged his fist. Mejieev looked Li Yunqing up and down carefully, and actually said in a big dry language that was not very clear: "Huang, I heard them say that you are the person in charge of this time, you look very young, you are very powerful." ”
Li Yunqing said lightly: "Mr. Mei praises, since it is an old customer, there is no need for us to say it again." Li Yunqing pointed to the six hundred boxes of pig iron ore not far behind him: "That's six hundred boxes of fine pig iron ore." ”
Hearing this, Mejieev turned his head to look, his eyes flashed with satisfaction, and he nodded with satisfaction: "Since you are Wang Xianzun's person, we are naturally relieved, and the cooperation is pleasant, Huang!" ”
Li Yunqing smiled when he heard this: "It's just that this time is a little different from the past, I heard that the news of this Jixue Mountain iron mine has leaked out, maybe it will soon attract the attention of the imperial court, and besides, the best iron ore is becoming more and more difficult to mine." So, this time the price has changed! ”
Master Qu and Liu Wu were a little nervous when they heard this, and their eyes fell on Li Yunqing in unison. Mejieev's reaction to Li Yunqing's words was very flat, he shrugged his shoulders and asked: "Although the price has been stable before, we can accept the price change, how much do you raise the price!" ”
Li Yunqing stretched out a finger, and Mejieev nodded and said, "One thousand taels?" Acceptable! Li Yunqing shook his head, Mejieev's brows couldn't help frowning, and he spread his hands and said: "Okay, although 10,000 taels is a bit much, but for our long-term cooperation, it is still acceptable!" ”
Li Yunqing smiled, smiling very brightly. Liu Wu didn't know why, but he couldn't help but shudder when he saw Li Yunqing's smile. But I heard Li Yunqing say: "Double!" The price of this shipment is 60,000 taels of silver! ”
Hearing this, Mejieev was stunned for a moment, and then roared: "This is absolutely impossible! Huang, what I said was 30,000 taels before, why has it become 60,000 taels now?! Huang, aren't you the most honest? You can't go back on your word, it's unfriendly! ”
"Mr. Mei, you should know that the pig iron produced in the Centella Snow Mountain Iron Mine is of very good quality. You should know what kind of price these pig iron will be if they are bought and sold in Daqian according to normal channels! The 600 boxes of pig iron behind me can be sold for at least 150,000 taels of silver in Daqian! Li Yunqing didn't pay attention to Mejieev's roar at all, and said lightly: "There is a great risk in the Centella Snow Mountain Iron Mine itself, if it is discovered by the imperial court, one of us will be counted as one, and all of us will have to move our heads!" We're doing business with our heads on our belts! It's a game of life! ”
Li Yunqing glanced in the direction of Bing Aoguo and said: "As far as Huang knows, the iron ore in your country is very scarce, and the quality is not good, and finally there is such an iron ore, you shouldn't give up cooperation because of only 30,000 taels of silver, right?" Seeing Mejieev's fire-breathing eyes, Li Yunqing's tone turned cold: "You know the effect of these iron ores on you!" ”
The two stared at each other. After a while, Mejieev sighed and said: "Wang Xianzun has found a good helper, Huang, you are very bold and very good at doing business!" He took a deep look at the six hundred boxes of pig iron ore behind him and said, "Okay, you persuaded me, 60,000 taels are sold!" ”
After Li Yunqing said the sentence of six million taels of silver, Liu Wu and Master Qu didn't dare to speak again, and they cried bitterly in their hearts, saying that this Huang Gongzi is absolutely crazy, and he thinks that today's business is going to be yellow! But I didn't expect this Huang Gongzi to persuade the other party in two sentences and promise to double the price, which is really a big surprise!
Li Yunqing listened to Mejieev's words, hugged his fists and said: "Mr. Mei is also a person who understands the importance of importance, so I believe that the cooperation between us will be very long!" ”
"Yes, Yellow! Daqian is a good place, but it's a pity that your ruler, I mean that the little emperor and his ancestors are not very good at using favorable resources to develop and expand their own country, if Daqian belongs to our Bingao country, it would be great! As he spoke, Mejieev, the long-haired man, closed his eyes intoxicated, and opened his arms to face the direction of Daqian, as if Daqian's thousands of miles of rivers and mountains had been owned by Bing Aoguo.
Li Yunqing smiled again, and his smile was even brighter than just now. Liu Wu couldn't help but take two steps back, for some reason he was very afraid of Li Yunqing's smile like spring breeze and rain, the fear from the bottom of his heart!
Seeing that Mejieev finished counting the goods, Li Yunqing was about to say goodbye and leave, but was pulled by Mejieev and said: "Huang, you don't know our rules for the first time, you have to celebrate after making a deal, follow me to my castle, there is wine and the beauties of our Bingao country!" ”
Looking at Li Yunqing with a blank face, Master Qu hurriedly stepped forward and explained: "Yes, there is this rule, last time they came to play with us, this time it was their turn to be the east." Master Qu was a little more respectful in his words, after all, Li Yunqing had just earned an extra 30,000 taels of silver, and he was very happy when he thought of this.
