Chapter 658: Merchants

According to Li Hao's order, the fleet passed through the strait, all the way along the coastline to the northwest, passing through the coastal countries, and then docked and attacked, taking out some of the goods for sale.

Sure enough, as they expected, the Tang Dynasty trade route was not opened here, and if these countries wanted to use the goods of the Central Plains, they could only rely on some merchants who carried goods over the mountains and mountains to sell.

The trade route is difficult to walk, and the transportation cost is naturally high, and the ordinary goods and commodities in Datang can be sold here at a very high price.

And this time, Li Hao used merchant ships to transport, each ship, carrying tens of thousands of goods, and the waterway was not difficult to walk, so the price of the goods was cheap, but the quality of the goods was no different from that sold by merchants from various countries. So much so that every time a merchant ship enters the port, it will have a huge impact on the price of commodities in the place.

After suffering one or two losses, the local businessman was also considered to be smart, and waited at the port early in the morning to visit Li Hao.

In the port of Piguo, before Li Hao got off the ship, he saw a group of people who had been waiting in the port for a long time.

The dragon scale battleship docked, and the merchants immediately rushed up as if they were crazy. He shouted to the fleet in half-baked Chinese.

"The Pyu Country Merchant Alliance, supply the Li Kingdom Zhen'an Prince, and supply the Li family's head Li Ziyin!"

Tens of thousands of people shouted in unison, how great is the momentum?

Li Hao took Wan'er and Li Ziyin to stroll down, and the businessmen hurriedly separated from each other and welcomed them. The stars held the moon and welcomed Li Hao and his party into the port.

A middle-aged man in luxurious clothes had a smile on his face, and he bowed his hand to Li Hao and the others from a distance. President of the Bi Guo Chamber of Commerce Alliance, Shaerdik, greetings to the prince of Zhen'an and the head of the Li family!

"Uncle Shaldik, I haven't seen you for many years, and your Chinese is becoming more and more fluent!" Li Ziyin chuckled lightly and returned the courtesy.

Shardik smiled innocently: "The daughter of the Li family, I haven't seen you for many years, and you are becoming more and more dazzling!" ”

"You know?" Li Hao was stunned, this place is thousands of miles away from Datang, I really didn't expect Li Ziyin to have acquaintances here.

"Many years ago, my father brought me here a few times, and at that time, the Li family in Longxi also wanted to open up the sea trade route, but unfortunately it was not as detailed as the nautical chart you drawn, and every time I went to sea, only a few boats could get here!"

"I see!" Harry understood it, and he also sighed in his heart, he really deserves to be a female Zhuge with five surnames and seven hopes, she is really knowledgeable and has friends all over the world. There are acquaintances today

The business will be easy to do.

"The prince of Zhen'an is here, the merchant alliance is shining, and the grass people have prepared wine and food for all the distinguished guests, and please appreciate the prince's face!" Shardik said respectfully.

"Well said." Li Hao waved his sleeves, and the accompanying sailors began to carry the goods, and Li Hao followed Shaldik to the city.

On the banquet, the staggered planning, Shaldik had obviously done his homework, and he praised Li Hao, and even combined with the feats that Li Hao had made, Li Hao was a little fluttering.

After three rounds of drinking, everyone was a little drunk.

Li Hao played with the jade cup in his hand: "Uncle Shaldik, there are so many things to say about the scene, it's time to get down to business, right?" ”

Shardik nodded and said: "Lord Zhen'an, the country of Bi is remote, the land is narrow, and the property is poor, so it is not as rich as the Tang Dynasty and the Li Kingdom. It is not easy for us businessmen to do business, and we can only barely make ends meet after being busy for half our lives. Datang's commodity goods are very popular in the country of Piao, and a chain has been formed, the prince has brought so many goods this time, and how low the price is, once the price fluctuates too much, the old man, I will even lose the coffin! ”

"Haha, uncle is humble, you are the leader of the Bi Country Merchant Alliance, and you are our predecessors in the shopping mall. The king also knew that if he resold the goods casually, it would definitely cause a series of turmoil. It's just that I'm just here, and I don't know the situation in your country, so I hope you can teach us the younger generations a lot, uncle. ”

"The prince is serious, he is serious." Shaldik hurriedly smiled: "Old man, I'm just a few years older than you, and I've eaten for two more years, how can I be qualified to advise, let's work together to create brilliance!" ”

"According to the uncle, what should we do in this business?" Li Hao asked with a smile.

Shaldik stared at Li Hao's eyes: "Lord Wang, how many goods are you going to sell in my country this time?" ”

Li Hao took the wine glass and looked at it carefully, and said casually: "This time the voyage is in a hurry, and this king has not prepared many goods, so let's just twenty ships for the time being!" ”

The merchants, who were pretending to be drinking, but had already pricked up their ears, immediately became excited when they heard this. The merchant ships brought by Li Hao were all large ships, and the cargo capacity of each ship was very large, and twenty ships of cargo were already equivalent to the total amount of Central Plains goods purchased by the entire country in a year.

If you can win this business, you will

Make a big profit.

Shardik is worthy of being their alliance leader, the city government is deeper, he didn't show too much excited expression, but his tone sped up a point: "The shipment is so large, I'm afraid the retail will not be sold for a while and a half, you see that if you hand over this batch of goods to us, the prince only needs to give us a price, old man, I will never bargain!" ”

"This king is just a martial artist, and he doesn't know how to do business, and I am not very familiar with the prices in your country, how much it is, it is all up to Miss Li and Wan'er!"

"Thank you, thank you, thank you!"

Shardik stood up excitedly and thanked Li Hao for his kindness.

Although Li Hao did not directly agree, since they all started to negotiate the price, it was tantamount to acquiescing to Shaldik's suggestion.

How can you not be excited to be able to win so many rare goods from the Central Plains at once?

"Lord Wang, I still have a reluctant invitation for the old man, I don't know if I should talk about it!"

"Uncle, where is this, but it doesn't hurt to say it!"

"The goods and commodities of the Central Plains are very tight in our country, and it is not easy for so many goods to appear, and the merchants of the country are very red-eyed, if the goods are too small, I am afraid that they are not enough, I don't know if the prince can sell us more, the old man has thanked the prince here!"

"Uncle!" Li Hao chuckled, but there was a little more indifference in his tone: "This king personally led the team to travel, what is the purpose of this trip, you will not be able to guess." If there are too many goods sold to you, the road ahead will not be easy! I hope you will forgive me. ”

"Is that so?" Shardik is also an old businessman, how could he not see Li Hao's intentions, but seeing more than 100 merchant ships and so many goods at sea, he was still a little lost after all.

"But since the uncle is so enthusiastic, if this king is too picky, it seems that he can't go, so don't worry! Compared with you, you have already seen that this king set sail this time, just to test the water and open the route, once this trade route is opened, the future merchant ships will continue to come. Why don't you be our distributor, uncle? ”

"Wang ...... Lord Wang, do you mean that in the future, all the goods shipped from the Central Plains will be managed by me? ”

"What, uncle, don't you want to?"

"No, no, no, I am grateful to the old man, thank you to the prince, the old man is the merchant alliance, I salute the prince!"

The more than 100 businessmen present, all of whom were well-known merchants in the country, all got up at this moment and raised their glasses respectfully at Li Hao.
