Chapter 265: Happy Cooperation
Batur thought carefully for a while, and then said slowly to Zhao Zhuo:
"I'll be honest, I've never exchanged cattle and sheep for tea directly, so it's hard to have a clear price scale."
After a pause, Batur asked tentatively:
"What do you think, how about changing ten catties of tea leaves?"
After hearing this, Zhao Zhuo was silent.
Not only Zhao Zhuo was silent, but several drivers next to him were also silent.
Seeing this, Batur couldn't help but be a little anxious:
"What, Zhao Zhuo, do you think this price is too low?
But that's a very conscientious price I can give, and it's hard to raise it any more."
Seeing that he didn't speak, Batur was anxious first, and Zhao Zhuo couldn't help but smile bitterly.
The reason why he didn't speak was not because he thought the price was low. On the contrary, Zhao Zhuo felt that the price was a bit too high!
In Mukden, the price of a pound of mutton is about 50 yuan, and the purchase price of his pound of tea is only a few yuan.
A few dollars of things for dozens of dollars, almost ten times the profit ratio, such a high profit made Zhao Zhuo a little distracted for a while.
Seeing Zhao Zhuo smiling bitterly, Batur misunderstood again, thinking that Zhao Zhuo was really dissatisfied with the price, and after thinking about it, Batur gritted his teeth:
"Then you say, how many catties of tea leaves for one?!"
Hearing this, Zhao Zhuo hurriedly said:
"I don't need to say it, I think the price you said is quite appropriate."
Hearing this, Batul's hanging heart finally let go.
He exhaled lightly, and then said:
"Hey, I thought you thought the price was too low."
Zhao Zhuo thought to himself: Do I think the price is low here? I think the price is too high!
However, there is no need to say such things.
In fact, Zhao Zhuo also saw that if he gritted his teeth and disagreed, Batur would definitely continue to increase the price.
However, such a high profit was enough to satisfy Zhao Zhuo.
As the so-called people's hearts are not enough, how much is more?
Zhao Zhuo pursued a long-term business, not a one-shot deal, so he didn't open his mouth again.
After agreeing on the price, Batur said with some embarrassment:
"However, you have so much tea here, I can't ask for it all at once. After all, this more than 10,000 catties of tea is more than 1,000 sheep.
I have so many sheep, but I have to sell some sheep for money, and what other use do I have?"
Batur was very truthful, and Zhao Zhuo nodded as expected.
With so much tea, he didn't expect Batur to be able to eat it all alone.
After this business is completed, Zhao Zhuo inevitably has to find a new buyer.
Zhao Zhuo asked:
"Brother Batul, how much tea can you want?"
Batur thought for a moment, then said:
"I'll want about 3,000 pounds."
Hearing this number, Zhao Zhuo couldn't help but be stunned.
He was originally very embarrassed because Batur could ask for two or three hundred catties, but he didn't expect Batur to open his mouth to be three thousand catties!
You must know that if their family drinks it themselves, I am afraid that they will not be able to drink all the three thousand catties of tea in this life.
Seeing Zhao Zhuo's surprised expression, Batur smiled.
Seeing this, Zhao Zhuo couldn't help but ask:
"You want so much tea, can you sell it?" Don't smash it all in your hands then.
After all, you nomads often go to various places to graze, and it is not convenient to carry so much tea."
Zhao Zhuo didn't ask Batule if he wanted to sell it.
After all, with so much tea, Batulle must want to sell it again, there is no doubt about it.
The question is, can Batul sell it!
Zhao Zhuo felt that Batule himself was also a very real grassland man, and the two got along very happily. Zhao Zhuo is also sincerely worried about Batur.
Hearing Zhao Zhuo's words, Batur was also very moved.
I saw him smile and say:
"Don't worry, I'll be able to sell this tea."
Hearing what Batur said with such certainty, Zhao Zhuo couldn't help but be curious:
"Do you have a channel? What channels do you have to be so confident?
To be honest, I didn't even expect this tea to be so popular before I came to Highland Castle and even said that I met you."
Batur nodded:
"That's right, that's the difference between you outsiders and us local herders.
You may not know that many herders do not come to Highland Fort for various reasons, but they stay on the grassland to graze.
These people, all their necessities of life are bought from those who find their dwellings and go to them to sell their goods.
This is true of basic firewood, rice, oil, and salt, as well as tea, which is also essential in life."
Hearing this, Zhao Zhuo nodded thoughtfully:
"But these people live on water and grass, and outsiders like us can't sell tea to them.
It's different with herders like you, you can easily find them and sell tea to them."
Hearing this, Batur nodded in admiration:
"Zhao Zhuo, you are really born to do business. Before I finish my sentence, you've already guessed everything."
Zhao Zhuo smiled faintly and said with some embarrassment:
"Brother Batul, maybe you don't think it yourself. Actually, you've made it very clear."
Hearing this, Batul smiled a little embarrassedly:
"Oh yes, I really didn't notice."
Looking at Batur's honest expression, Zhao Zhuo smiled helplessly.
People like Batur are okay to sell their goods to herders who don't live in the grasslands. If you sell it to someone else, I'm afraid that if someone sells it, you will have to count the money for others.
After the two sides agreed on the price, Batur smiled and picked up one of Zhao Zhuo's hands, and then slapped one of his hands hard:
"Happy cooperation, friend!"
Zhao Zhuo didn't react at first, and it wasn't until Batur, who had a lot of strength, that Zhao Zhuo suddenly realized what Batule was going to do.
By this time, though, it was too late.
Zhao Zhuo, who was unprepared, felt as if his hand had been slapped by a piece of iron, and he suddenly became numb.
That's right, in the physical sense of the word... It's numb.
Zhao Zhuo subconsciously shook his hand, but instead held Batur's ridicule:
"Hey, Zhao Zhuo, you are such a big man, why can't you be photographed?"
Hearing this, Zhao Zhuo could only smile bitterly and shake his head.
Seeing that Batur was quite interested, Zhao Zhuo could only cooperate and nodded:
"It's a pleasure to work with."
After a pause, Zhao Zhuo said:
"Brother Batul, you wait here, I'll arrange for someone to bring the tea and load the sheep into the cart."
