Chapter 872: Horse Traders
Twenty-eight thousand dollars a horse.
Speaking of which, it's cheap.
After all, this is not Karasuma, although Liu Zheng only spent a few thousand dollars to buy a war horse when Karasuma and those people from the Karasuma tribe bought a war horse.
Now this is not Karasuma, and the price of buying war horses from these traveling merchants will naturally be higher.
"Little brother, you are not kind, a horse, sell us for nearly 30,000 gold, who can buy this."
Although Liu Zheng didn't think it was expensive, he didn't have the idea of acting as a big boss, and these nearly 30,000 war horses were still a little expensive for him.
When the horse dealer saw it, Liu Zheng just said that it was expensive, instead of turning his head and saying it, instead of being angry, he was excited.
After all, saying this proves that Liu Zheng really wants to buy it. It's just that I think it's a little expensive.
If you turn around and leave, it proves that this person has no strong desire to buy, but just to come and see.
"This gentleman, we are also a small business. You know, there is no horse farm nearby. We're going to buy horses. Thousands of miles away to the place of the Xianbei tribe in the north, this time not to mention the danger. The journey alone will take more than half a month. ”
"And it costs money on the road, and the price of the horses bought from the Xianbei Lord is not low. So we can't do anything about this price. If my husband sincerely wants it, I should make friends with my husband and give him something cheaper, what do you think? ”
The horse dealer looked like he was doing business, and he first described to Liu Zheng why this war horse was so expensive, and then said a few thoughtful words, willing to be cheaper with Liu Zheng.
Normal people hear these words.
More or less will continue to talk down, push the price down, and if both parties feel appropriate, the deal will be promoted.
Liu Zheng is naturally no exception. When he saw this dealer say this, he immediately asked a rhetorical question.
"If it's cheaper, I might as well consider you giving a reserve price. If I think it's appropriate, I'll buy some. ”
The words that came out of Liu Zheng's mouth were not one, but some.
After hearing this sentence by the horse dealer, it immediately made the horse dealer's eyes light up, and he understood that the person in front of him should be a big customer.
"How much does the gentleman want?"
The horse dealer did not directly say a price, but asked Liu Zheng how many war horses he wanted.
This attracted Liu Zheng's interest, after all, Liu Zheng saw that there were only two or three horses around the horse dealer at this time.
Unashamedly, he asked Liu Zheng, how much do you want?
Could it be that Liu Zheng can use Liu Zheng as much as he wants?
"Can you give me as much as I want?"
"Heh, sir. My Su family, not to mention one of the best in Zhongshan County, is definitely a big family. In other respects, it may not be as good as other families. However, when it comes to selling horses, my Su family is definitely second to none. ”
"Even the entire Han family, the family that can take out more horses than my Su family should be gone."
The horseman's tone was very loud. seems to be a little proud, boasting in front of Liu Zheng. aroused Liu Zheng's curiosity.
"Oh? Is it? I wonder how many horses you can produce? ”
"Look at the gentleman, fifty horses? Although I don't have it on hand, I'll send it back to the clan and I'll be able to bring it out to you soon. ”
The horse dealer spoke at Liu Zheng in a firm tone, which made Liu Zheng a little suspicious at first. At this moment, it was gone, and I fully believed the words of the horse dealer.
After all, if he exaggerated, I am afraid that he would not be so confident at this moment.
Now that I said that, I should really be able to get dozens of war horses. And there is a good chance that he has more horses on his hands.
"Can you really get so many war horses?"
Liu Zheng couldn't help but ask again. Although I already believed it in my heart, I was still a little curious about the identity of this horse dealer.
"Sir seems to be an out-of-towner."
"Oh? You can see that, too. ”
"This simple gentleman's accent doesn't look like a local. In addition, Mr. has never even heard of my Zhongshan Su family. I actually suspect that our Su family can't get so many war horses. It must have been someone from another county. ”
The horse dealer was also clever, and easily guessed that Liu Zheng and the others were not locals.
However, both of them are smart and don't care much about their identities.
I believed it. You make an offer. Fifty horses is too much, and I want to buy twenty. ”
In fact, Liu Zheng still has the money for fifty war horses, but the wealth is not exposed, and he is still clear about this basic truth.
At present, I am not familiar with life here, and if Zhongshan County directly reveals that he has a huge amount of money, it will inevitably attract the attention of some people with a heart.
Although Liu Zheng is not afraid of these people who are looking for trouble for him. But if the matter stabbed the Yuan brothers, it would be in the ears. That's not good news. So he still has to try to keep a low profile.
A figure that is neither high nor low is reported.
In this way, the horse dealer in front of him does not have so many war horses around him, and he needs to return to the family to ask for instructions. At the same time, Liu Zheng was also able to catch the line of this horse dealer and go to the so-called Zhongshan Su family with money.
"Twenty horses! If the gentleman really wants so much, then I can call the shots. For 22,000 dollars a horse, I sold it to my husband. ”
"Prices are negotiable, I'm going to make sure you really have that many horses."
"Hahaha, it seems that Mr. still has some doubts about my Su family's ability, it's okay, I'll take Mr. to my Su family's stable."
The horse dealer didn't do business anymore, and immediately got up and planned to lead Liu Zheng to the Su family's horse house.
The Su family also has a point in this Wuji County, which is usually the place where the Su family's people transfer, and there is a horse stall dedicated to storing horses.
Liu Zhengzheng is worried that there is no way. It's okay to have some good relations with the Su family first.
simply followed the horse dealer to the Su family's stable.
Along the way, Guo Jia was quite interested in the horse dealer, and chatted with the horse dealer from time to time.
After chatting for a long time, you will know that the horse dealer's name is Su Quan. refers to a small steward of the Su family, who is usually responsible for the horse trading work in Wuji County.
Originally, Liu Zheng didn't have much impression of the Su family, but this Su Quan, chatting with Guo Jia, and when he talked about the head of the Su family called Su Shuang, Liu Zheng was stunned all of a sudden.
This person named Su Shuang, Liu Zheng, has some impressions.
The famous Taoyuan three knots.
When Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei rebelled, the traveling merchant who funded Liu Bei was called Su Shuang.
