Chapter 112: As long as the wool
Chapter 112 As long as wool
The two quarreled like this, but Ha Hu next to him looked confused, and it wasn't until the two of them quarreled that their mouths were dry, and they raised their hands carefully: "That...... I kind of understand what you mean, you're worried that you won't have enough supplies to continue on the road, aren't you? ”
Li Daoan took a sip of water and said angrily: "Huh, that's right, why are you asking this?" Aren't you ready to sell? ”
"You're mistaken, but what I'm trying to say is that you don't have to worry about it at all." Hahu smiled: "It's true that our tribe can't receive such a large caravan as you, but there is not only one head in this area." ”
"Ahem...... What do you mean? Ding Shan, who was drinking water, almost didn't choke to death when he heard this, and after coughing a few times in succession, he hurriedly asked.
Ha Hu laughed and explained: "Actually, this ranch originally belonged to a large tribe of more than 30,000 people, called the Yundeluo Division, and this piece is the territory of the Yundeluo Division. But a few days ago, there was a big war here, and after the war, the Yundero Department was gone, and we were able to occupy this place.
However, the Toude Department is only a small tribe, and it can't occupy much pasture at all, so there are no less than ten tribes here during this period of time, and the farthest distance is less than fifty miles away from us, so you can rest in our tribe with peace of mind, and we will naturally notify the surrounding tribes to come and do business with you.
As for the water, don't worry, there is a river nearby, which is also the main reason why the Yundero tribe is willing to occupy this place, the surrounding tribes are all taking water here, not to mention five thousand people, even fifty thousand people are enough for you to drink. ”
"Is that so? It's so good, I'm sorry I misunderstood you just now. Li Daoan realized that he had become a villain and quickly apologized.
"It's not a big deal, you're too polite."
"By the way, Brother Hahu, please tell them when you notify them, and say that our caravan will give priority to buying wool." Now that the supply trouble has been solved, Ding Shan naturally put his mind back on business.
"Wool? What do you want this for? Ha Hu asked strangely.
"What do you want wool for?" The Great Elder of the Toude Department asked the same question as Ha Hu.
"Actually, I don't know about this, but our lord asked us to buy it." Li Daoan drank a glass of mare's milk wine and yawned heavily, he was so crazy yesterday that he didn't wake up at all.
It was the next morning, and when the caravan arrived yesterday afternoon, they were greeted by a grand welcome feast, and the caravan and the tribesmen sang and danced all night until the end of the ugly hour. Today, before dawn, they were pulled up by the anxious ministers and elders, they couldn't wait, if it wasn't for the guests to greet them, I'm afraid they would have started trading yesterday.
So with dark circles under his eyes, Li Daoan opened part of the goods......
He still underestimated the demand for goods of the steppe people, and he opened a total of six carts of goods, namely ironware, salt, tea, silk and porcelain. He originally thought that these six carts of goods would be enough for this head of the German department to eat, but what he didn't expect was that such a few goods could not satisfy the appetite of the head of the German department at all. Not to mention the people who gradually gathered over, even Wu Zheren and a few elders were not enough, you must know that their car is a large truck that can hold eight boxes of goods, and six cars are forty-eight boxes of goods, and even the appetite of five or six elders is not satisfied, Li Daoan feels that his previous business experience is fake.
"Can you eat so much of the goods?" In the end, he couldn't help the curiosity in his heart, Li Daoan grabbed the Great Elder and asked.
"Of course I can't." The Great Elder happily hugged a piece of silk without raising his head and said, "But we can't eat it, some people can eat it." ”
That's all said and done, if Li Daoan doesn't understand, he will be a businessman for so many years. The reason is very simple, the grassland is too big, after all, there are only a few tribes that can meet caravans, and some tribes will buy goods in large quantities after meeting merchants and hoard them.
The reason why Li Daoan didn't think of this stubble was mainly because the scale of his previous business was too small, basically the kind that could be sold out at one time as long as he met the tribe, and he had heard other caravans talk about this kind of thing before, but he had never experienced it.
"By the way, do you want sheep or cattle and horses in this transaction?"
"Neither, we just need wool."
"......" and so the above dialogue was born.
"Why, you can't be burned, right?" Li Daoan thought that they had already disposed of the wool, and suddenly said worriedly: "It's bad now, the master can refer to the name as long as the wool, nothing else, it seems that I can only go to other tribes to see." ”
"That's not it, in fact, we have all the wool we have, and we haven't had time to deal with it yet." Although it is strange why Li Daoan wants wool, the most important thing at the moment is to sell his wool: "But I just don't know how much you want, and what price are you going to give?" ”
"The more wool the merrier, as for the price is better negotiable, we divide it into three grades according to the difference in the quality of the wool, of which the best cashmere is ten pounds a penny, the second grade fine wool is twenty pounds a penny, and the worst coarse wool is fifty pounds a penny." Li Daoan drank a sip of water when he said this, ignoring the great elder who was about to lose his son, and continued to say in a flat tone: "But in view of the fact that this is the first acquisition, I am afraid that you will not be able to classify wool, so before coming out, my master specially explained that the price of wool this time is calculated according to a penny and twenty catties, of course, if you really classify, then I will also buy it according to the established price, I don't know if you are satisfied?" ”
"Satisfied, at this price." Without waiting for the Great Elder's consent, Wu Zheren, who was eavesdropping outside, hurriedly rushed in, ignoring the Great Elder's indicative eyes, and said eagerly: "Lord Li Daoan, you are really a good person, our business is settled." ”
"Refreshing, Chief Wu Zheren is really a cheerful person, then our business is settled." Li Daoan originally thought that they might bargain, but who knew that such a chief was so happy, so he was overjoyed and sent a piece of information for free: "Let me tell you the truth, my master is the son of the Tang Emperor, His Royal Highness the King of Yue, and now the Turkic Grand Protector, who is in charge of all civil and military affairs in the grassland." Therefore, this wool business is very promising, and you can raise sheep in large quantities in the future. ”
"What? It was His Royal Highness King Yue. The Great Elder didn't care about glaring at Wu Zheren anymore, and looked at Li Daoan with wide eyes and incredulity: "Then Lord Li Daoan, do you know if there is a deadline for His Royal Highness King Yue to purchase wool?" ”
"Anyway, don't worry, His Royal Highness King Yue said that he has a great use for wool, no matter how much you produce, he can eat it." Li Daoan seemed to know the Great Elder's worries, and couldn't help but explain: "And you are not far from the Dadu Protectorate, you can transport the wool to the Metropolitan Protectorate to sell, there are officials over there who specialize in buying wool, and the price will be a little higher, if someone dares to pit you, you can also go to the Dadu Protectorate to complain, Your Highness will make the decision for you." ”
"Really? Can we also go to the Metropolitan Protectorate to sell wool? The Great Elder looked surprised: "Is there anything we need there?" ”
"Of course, in fact, our goods are purchased there, and the goods there are not only large in quantity, but also more complete than in caravans." Thinking back to the mountains of goods in the Metropolitan Protectorate, Li Daoan was arrogant, but he still asked very responsibly: "Speaking of which, how much wool do you have here?" ”
"We don't have statistics on this, but according to the calculation of ten catties of wool for a sheep, our tribe has 500,000 sheep, about five million catties, even if there is some loss in the middle and our own felt making, there must be four million catties left."
“...... So much? Although he was already prepared, Li Daoan was still a little surprised when he heard such a number.
Wu Zheren laughed and explained: "Hahaha, our tribe is still small, we mainly raise cattle and horses, our west of the Purfan tribe is a tribe specializing in raising sheep, their sheep are said to have exceeded 1.5 million, you must know that the Purfan tribe is a little less than our Toude tribe." ”
The Great Elder said with envy: "So I am very envious of the Purr Fan Department now, they will definitely be able to make a fortune this year." ”
"Forehead" Wu Zheren was suddenly struck, and finally gritted his teeth and patted his legs, and said: "Next year, we will also raise a large number ......of sheep, not cattle." ”
"You don't have to." Li Daoan said with a smile: "Although we mainly buy wool, we also need cattle and horses, because Datang also needs a lot of cattle and arable land, so cattle, sheep and horses are actually within our trading range, but wool is the priority to buy, if there is really no wool, living cattle, sheep and horses are also okay." ”
"Wouldn't it be the end of what you said earlier? I thought you only needed wool. Wu Zheren stood up violently, and suddenly became arrogant: "Bring me eight more boxes of salt and silk." ”
"Hahaha......"
