Chapter 47: Selling Cigarettes and Knives and Bows
"Well, I'm a businessman, I want to buy this." Han Tian pinched the 'cigarette' in his hand and directly expressed his intentions.
Xu Chuan smiled and said, "Yes, you are the first batch of businessmen to come to the door, I don't know how much you need?" ”
"I'll take as many of you as you want." Han Tian hurriedly said.
Hearing this, Xu Chuan smiled dumbly, beckoned to one of the guards beside him, and asked him to go out and bring a box of cigarettes.
After the establishment of the general office, a batch of cigarettes, swords, bows, and other things to be sold was prepared here, which could be used at any time, so that they would not have to go far to the cigarette factory or the arsenal to get them.
"This box of cigarettes has fifty tubes in it, one tube is one tael of silver, and one box is fifty taels, and I have six thousand boxes in my hand, that is, three hundred thousand taels of silver, do you have so much money?"
Hearing this, Han Tian, the shopkeeper of the Tianxia Commercial Bank, swallowed his saliva with a sigh of salt, 300,000 taels of silver, which is really too exaggerated.
It's no problem to take out this digital world business bank headquarters, but they are just a caravan, and they are also caravans that have already purchased and returned, so it is impossible to carry so many silver taels.
However, what Han Tian could see was that if this cigarette worked well, it would definitely form a trend among the dignitaries and nobles of the Chu State. The most important thing is that it is still a one-time thing, and it will be gone, so that you can make a steady stream of money and make a lot of money.
"It's true that our caravan doesn't have that much money in hand at the moment, but I can use the Tianxia Commercial Bank as a guarantee to ......"
Before Han Tian finished speaking, Xu Chuan waved his hand and interrupted: "That's not good, at present, only cash is collected, only real money and silver are collected, how many silver taels you have, you can choose how much to buy, of course, if you have the goods I need in your caravan, I can also buy them." ”
Han Tian nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go back and collect the money, and then make a list of the goods in the caravan and bring it over." ”
Xu Chuan nodded, signaling that it was okay, Han Tian got up and left, just took two steps, the door had not yet come out, paused again, hesitated for a moment and asked.
"Xu Gongzi, I still have a reluctant request."
"Huh? What's up? Xu Chuan replied.
"Our caravan went all the way, and we encountered a lot of bandits and bandits on the way, and some of the weapons in the caravan were seriously damaged, so we ....."
Han Tian said, but his eyes fell on the town guards in the conference room, to be precise, on those Tang knives and iron embryo bows.
Xu Chuan knocked on the table and said, "So you want to buy weapons from us?" ”
Han Tian nodded, looked at the weapons on the guards and swallowed, especially the iron embryo bow, which was a rare good thing.
However, when he put forward this demand, he only asked tentatively, it doesn't matter if it can't be done, if it can be done, it will be a big surprise.
After all, this kind of thing is an iron embryo bow, and if it is put in other countries, it can be said that it is the same nature as a crossbow, and almost no one will sell it.
Xu Chuan didn't answer Han Tian's words, turned his head and beckoned to the guards and asked him to help get five Tang knives, an iron embryo bow, and ten arrows.
"A Tang knife is thirty taels of silver, an iron embryo bow is fifty taels, and an ordinary willow leaf arrow is ten taels of silver, if you want to buy it, you need to buy at least one hundred arrows at the same time as you buy a bow."
"Of course, in addition to ordinary willow leaf arrowheads, we also have Mitsubishi arrowheads for sale, but the price is higher, one or two silver."
As he spoke, Xu Chuan pushed the weapon on the table in front of Han Tian: "These samples will be given to you by Shopkeeper Han, you can take them back and take a look." ”
The arms business, like tobacco, is also a profiteering industry, and he naturally cannot let it go.
Five Tang knives, an iron embryo bow and some arrows are nothing at all for the ironworks that are already in operation, these are given to Han Tian, a potential big customer, after all, if you want others to buy them, the samples must be shown to others.
Looking at the weapons on the table, Han Tian was a little incredulous, could this sword and bow be bought so easily? Or are the swords and bows provided by the other party not equipped by those town guards?
With doubts, with the sample given by Xu Chuan, Han Yuan quickly returned to the inn and found Lao Li, who was in charge of the security of the caravan and was guarding the livestock caravan.
"Lao Li, come on, come and see how these knives and bows are."
Han Tian's loud roar ushered in a lot of caravan guys, and everyone gathered around, curious onlookers.
Lao Li has been in charge of security work for more than ten years, because caravans often encounter bandits and robbers, and he is definitely an expert among experts when it comes to the identification and purchase of weapons.
Most of the weapons such as swords, guns and axes are in his hands, and he can always play well, especially in weapon identification, which is even more superior, almost comparable to those old experts in iron training.
After receiving the narrow Tang knife from Han Tian's hand, Lao Li's face changed a little, this knife was much heavier than an ordinary knife.
The knife was drawn out of the sheath, and the silver-white blade was bright enough to show a human figure, and after waving it a few times, and after playing a decent set of knife techniques, Lao Li shouted and slashed at the wooden frame of the stable.
With a 'poof', the slender long knife directly cut off the wooden frame of the stable, and at the same time, the relatively thin wooden plank under the wooden frame was also chopped into it for half a meter.
Seeing this, Lao Li's face changed greatly, and he pulled out the long knife with force, and was about to speak, when the administrator on duty didn't know when he transferred here.
"Damage one side of the wooden wall of the stable, you need to pay for this." The administrator took Han Tian's pen and wrote on the straw paper, and said.
Hearing this, Han Tian didn't care, and said with a smile: "Compensation, we will naturally pay for this, but can I ask the administrator to wait a while?" We're working on these weapons. ”
"Well, no problem." The administrator smiled and glanced at the long knife in Lao Li's hand, stepping back some distance.
He naturally recognized that this was the style of the Tang knife worn by the town guards, but these were not under his control, his task was to keep an eye on the caravan to find money, as long as he destroyed something, he would definitely lose money.
"A good knife, comparable to the twenty-refining long knife of Wu State." Lao Li touched the long knife in his hand, felt the blade with his rough fingers, and praised.
Among the Three Kingdoms, the weapons of the Wu army were of the best quality, but there were not many long knives with twenty refinements, and the long knives equipped by ordinary soldiers were at most four or five refinements.
"Try this bow again." Han Tian handed over the longbow in his hand.
Lao Li took it, glanced at it, seemed to remember something, and hurriedly said, "This is the bow that those town guards are equipped with?" ”
"It should be." Han Tian smiled and said, "But you don't have to worry, I didn't provoke those town guards. ”
