After drinking two glasses of wine, Zheng Peng put down the wine glass and said, "Two, let's get down to business first." ”

No matter how mellow the wine is, no matter how fragrant the food is, it depends on who you enjoy it with, the attitude of Masao Itada and Hydra is too respectful, sitting on their knees, their whole body is tense, their heads are bowed throughout the whole process, and they only dare to eat the food in front of them.

The status of Datang businessmen is not high, let alone these foreign businessmen, it is not an exaggeration to say that in Datang, foreign businessmen have to be people with their tails between their legs.

"Yes, General, please command." Masao Itada and Hydra put down their dishes and chopsticks as if relieved.

In fact, the two of them are really nervous, for fear of saying or doing something wrong, if Zheng Peng gets angry, they don't know if they can get out of here.

Zheng Peng waved his hand and said: "Don't be too restrained, be easy-going, I believe that the two of you are no strangers to glass mirrors, and they have also done the corresponding investigation, right." ”

"Yes, General," Masao Itada said respectfully, "The little one has never seen such a magical existence, and only a person with great wisdom like the General can create such a perfect mirror." ”

Hydra echoed: "This is a legendary existence, a masterpiece of the gods, and this is the most magical thing that the little one has seen in the Tang Dynasty." ”

"How much are you willing to pay for such a good thing?" Zheng Peng said simply and directly.

There is no need to be polite when talking about a deal with two people.

The two glanced at each other and hesitated for a moment, and Izra spoke, "The small one is willing to buy it from General Zheng at double the market price." ”

Masao Itada immediately added: "The little ones are also willing to... Double the price, buy a large number of glass mirrors from the general. ”

The two looked at each other, and reached a temporary agreement at the moment of eye contact: for fear that Zheng Peng would sit on the ground and raise the price, and for fear that the vicious fight between the two sides would make Zheng Peng take advantage, both sides were human spirits, and they reached a communist alliance quietly, although this alliance is a bit far-fetched.

Zheng Peng put down the wine glass in his hand unhurriedly, and said calmly: "Joke, the glass mirror sold by the Three Treasures is popular before it is sold, and it will be crazy when it is sold, and many people outside the store are threatening to buy it at double the price, do you think this double price can make me happy?" ”

Itada Masao had long guessed that Zheng Peng would be unhappy, and he immediately said: "It's true that two times can't be used, and it's not enough to show respect for the general, and the small one is willing to buy the general's glass mirror at three times the selling price, I believe this is a very suitable price." ”

The glass mirror shines as soon as it is pushed, due to the purchase limit, many people have not grabbed the goods, and they are looking to buy everywhere, hoping that they will not fall behind, and there are also those who are not satisfied with the purchase of one side, and want to buy a few more sides, all of them are rushing together, so that the price of the glass mirror has gone all the way, and there are many of them on the market for three times the price of the purchase, and after seeing the charm of the glass mirror, Masao Itada knew that bringing the glass mirror back to Japan would definitely make those nobles crazy, so he was very happy to double it.

In fact, not to mention three times, even five times or ten times the board man is willing to do it, but this negotiation has just begun, and he can't expose his bottom all at once.

Zheng Peng said quietly: "Oh, why do you say that this price is appropriate? ”

Seeing that Itada Masao wanted to speak and stopped, Zheng Peng said: "This is not a court, nor is it a yamen, what do you two have to talk freely, do business, you and I are willing, and we can only do it for a long time, rest assured, although I am a general, but sitting here is to discuss with the two of you in the same capacity." ”

Itada Masao bowed to Zheng Peng, and quickly spoke: "The general is generous, and the little one will speak freely." ”

Zheng Peng didn't speak, nodded and motioned for him to continue.

"General, the small guess glass mirror is not as difficult to build as you said, it should be difficult to make a big glass, and the small one is not difficult, otherwise the general will not be willing to see us in the case of short supply, if you don't guess, the reluctance to sell is to ensure the profit of the glass mirror, after all, scarcity is expensive."

"Yes, yes" Ezra on the side nodded and agreed: "Brother Zhengnan's words are right, no matter how good things are, the price cannot be maintained, so we must be reluctant to sell, this is called scarcity is expensive, the general needs a broad market to maintain high profits, and we are definitely the best partner of the general, not only the Tang Dynasty, but also the big food, Silla, Zhangxiong, Tianzhu, Japan and other places, are glass mirror markets, and the general only needs to wait to collect money." ”

After a pause, Hydra continued: "Triple the profit is a little less for the time being, but this deal is long-term, and the general will soon find out that this trust placed in us has turned into a steady stream of wealth to help the general do whatever he wants." ”

These two people have lived in Datang for a long time, not only do they speak Datang well, but they are also close to the thinking of Datang people in terms of thinking, and they don't need Zheng Peng to explain, they can guess Zheng Peng's thoughts.

The words were very beautiful and the tone was very sincere, but Zheng Peng was unmoved: "The present is the present, the future is the future, it's just three times, any businessman can do it, why do you have to give it to you?" ”

Whether it is Daishoku or Japan, the road is far away, in addition to the harsh environment, but also to deal with ill-intentioned bandits or pirates, back and forth to say less than a year to meet, who knows if they will have an accident on the road, or will not come back after returning home, when it comes to making money, what is in the pocket is earning, and the rest are empty.

Itada Masao glanced at Hydra, and then said cautiously, "What does the general mean?" ”

"Five-fold." Zheng Peng said without hesitation.

In ancient times, the transportation was inconvenient, but it created several limited business opportunities for merchants, and they often made more than ten times the profit, taking silk as an example, the high-quality silk purchased from the Tang Dynasty was transported back to the big food, and the price could be as high as the same weight of gold.

Hydra frowned for a moment, and said with some flattery: "General, the gods can testify, we came with great sincerity to discuss this matter with the general, the market costs three times the price, and you can receive it patiently, but the general wants to charge us five times, this... Not quite right. ”

Getting the goods from the owner, but the asking price is higher than the market, this is not like talking about trading, but like two fools who send money, Hydra just doesn't want to be a fool no matter how rich he is.

Zheng Peng said disapprerovingly: "With the financial resources of the two, if you spend a lot of effort, you won't be able to collect much, the cost is reduced, what's the use of not having the quantity, and the goods will not be received at that time, but the price will be raised, why bother, of course, I can give you a promise, sales other than Datang, all handed over to the two." ”

"Great, General, it's okay for the little ones here." Masao Itada's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he agreed on the spot.

Japan regards the Tang Dynasty as the kingdom of the Celestial Empire, every year there are a large number of Tang envoys sent to the Tang Dynasty to study, the Japanese people, including the nobles, highly respect the items of the Tang Dynasty, as long as it is the Tang Dynasty's things, shipped back to Japan will be worth doubled, such rare treasures like glass mirrors are shipped back to China, not to mention ten times, even a hundred times is absolutely no problem, Itada Masao has thought of giving a few glass mirrors to the big guys, hugging the thighs, maybe those big guys are happy, with a wave of their hands, they can be promoted from commoners to nobles, Thus truly reversing the fate of the Itada clan.

The price is expensive, and there are not many people who can afford it, but it is not just a matter of buying it in Japan, and you can definitely make a lot of money by selling it all the way back then.

Hydra listened to Itada Masao's expression, and said without hesitation: "The almighty god warned me that I must not refuse this deal, otherwise I will regret it for the rest of my life. ”

What Masao Itada thought of, of course Hydra can think of, and there is no objection in person.

It is not an exaggeration to say that even if this deal is not profitable, even if it loses money, the two will not give up, after all, it is extremely rare to have the opportunity to meet a figure like Zheng Peng.

Zheng Peng nodded and said with satisfaction: "Very good." ”

Itada Masao tried to squeeze out a smile that he thought was the most sincere: "General, take the liberty of asking, I wonder how many goods the general can provide us with?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Hydra also stared at Zheng Peng.

This question is very important, directly related to the layout and arrangement of the two, if the amount is large, the two have to exchange the goods in their hands into money, for a successful businessman, only let the money "move", the profits will continue to enter the pocket.

"Not much," Zheng Peng said lightly: "There are about 3,000 faces, and the two of you have more than 1,000 faces." ”

More than a thousand faces?

Hydra's eyes lit up, judging from the first day of the sale of the Three Treasures, he thought that it would be good to get three or five hundred mirrors, but he didn't expect to get more than a thousand, and now he can make a lot of money.

Itada Masao on the side also showed joy on his face, but he seemed to think of something, and his expression suddenly became a little tangled.

"Okay, great, I'm afraid there aren't many of them." Izra rubbed her hands together and said excitedly.

The glass mirror, a legendary treasure, if it is transported back to the big food, it can definitely be sold for a sky-high price, and then the big food will sell a part of it, and the rest will continue to go westward and sell at a high price.

Zheng Peng took the initiative to explain: "These glass mirrors are not recently produced, to be precise, they began to be made about three years ago, but the process is not mature, and large pieces of glass mirrors cannot be made. ”

They can't be convinced that glass is easy to make, otherwise it would be difficult to raise the price before, and they are convinced that glass mirrors are difficult to make, which is conducive to the promotion of glass mirrors.

Itada Masao rubbed his hands and said a little embarrassedly: "General, the small one knows that the quality of the glass mirror is not much different, and most of it is the size as an important factor in the price, like Mrs. Pei's large glass mirror of nearly three feet, it is said that it cost 30,000 yuan, and now there are more than 1,000 pieces, I don't know how many are big?" How many are small? ”

The glass mirror was already expensive, but it was still five times the market price, and there were more than 1,000 sides, so I don't know how much it would cost, and Masao Itada was very worried about his lack of financial resources.
