Section 0502 The original Tang people are more ruthless
Never before has Willow looked forward to a price negotiation.
Who said that the scholars of Datang can't do business?
Coming to the place of the meeting, what was originally a private conversation between Tumidu and Yanagi turned into a very formal negotiation, and seven members from each side were sent to participate in the negotiation.
The two sides entered, and a thousand mink skins were a gift from Tumidu to all the Tang people involved in the negotiations.
Su Shichang borrowed the method of willow wood, and found some Turkic women to wear colorful and gorgeous clothes with a strong steppe style, and multi-piece costumes made of silk, cotton, linen, wool and other materials.
A total of a hundred sets were taken out as gifts.
When exchanging gifts on both sides, Li Jing said to Liu Mu: "Your Wutong Fang can be said to have attracted the women of the entire Chang'an, this method is very powerful, I believe that by next year, the Hui people will definitely increase the purchase of a large number of clothing or clothing." ”
"Yes." Yanagi just nodded.
The two sides sat down and exchanged a few polite words, and Su Shichang ordered someone to put a can on the table: "This fruit is called mango, and it is not produced in Lingnan, and it is the Yue Guogong of Lingnan who led his troops to the south and fought more than a thousand miles, so there is." Extremely precious! ”
A sentence of extreme rarity means that this thing must be expensive.
"Twenty times!" After stretching out two fingers, Su Shichang put a long flat coin on the table: "Twenty guan with new money as the standard." ”
Liu Mu almost squirted tea.
20,000 yuan is just for a can with a gross weight of ten catties, which can be exchanged for 150 stone of high-grade polished rice.
I only heard Su Shichang say unhurriedly: "This is a set of hand handles." ”
At that moment, someone brought three things up, but this was unexpected by Liu Mu, which turned out to be a portable steel bucket that allowed the canning to play a second use value.
The three items are a rivet set, a steel handle, and a tool for crimping rivets.
Hemming is necessary because sharp edges can hurt people.
"Twenty runs is no problem, but we asked for a threefold thicker bottom." One of the Hui elders made a request, apparently intending to use this thing for future use.
"Yes." Su Shichang agreed without saying a word, and then asked someone to put all kinds of canned food in turn.
These were originally brought over by Liu Mu to Li Jing for the generals in the north to taste.
The cheapest is canned citrus, six dollars.
Because Su Shichang clearly knew that this thing did not need to go to Lingnan, as long as it crossed the Yangtze River.
Canned pears are not available at the moment, but it is estimated that the price will be about five or six in the future.
Liu Muxin said, crazy, really crazy. As someone who has seen the market full of fruit in later generations, such prices are indeed crazy.
In later life, he ate the most expensive fruit, which was one hundred and eight cherries.
"Very well, we want at least 10,000 cans a year." Tu Du laughed heartily.
Is Hui Hui rich? Yanagi expressed skepticism.
Su Shichang waved his hand: "This is a small problem, come and make a record, and then write these prices on the contract." And then there's the second item. ”
The cans were not taken away, but all opened for everyone to taste.
"Wait a minute, wine. That kind of wine in crystal bottles, we want to be jars and crystals. "The mouth of the spitter is coming.
Su Shichang seemed to be prepared, and he had already made a price for everything he could think of.
In Chang'an, a bottle of consistent money, put it here is ten times, and there is no room for counteroffer, the reason is that this thing is too troublesome to transport, and it will be broken if you are not careful. As for the altar, one jar is three times.
Tu Fan didn't make a counteroffer at all, and he responded to it in one bite.
"Khan, our knives have no iron knives, all steel knives. It is divided into pure steel knives, stainless steel knives, three-layer forged steel knives, and royal horizontal knives. ”
The royal sword is still the name given by willow wood, and is made of fine cowhide and then wrapped in a layer of shark skin.
This stuff is produced in limited quantities because shark skin is not available.
There is no substitute for it at the moment.
"Ten thousand." Su Shichang offered a sky-high price, and then threw a top-grade rarity-grade horizontal knife that had gone through hundreds of processes to one of the guards.
The protector took it and with a slight wave, an iron throwing gun with a diameter of about 3.5 centimeters was cut off.
"There are only five, and I Datang can only build dozens of such treasure knives in a year, and they use the skin of a sea overlord-level giant beast, which is several feet long and can bite ships. Then there are the three-layer forged steel knives......"
The protector waved his hand again, again the same iron throwing spear, and the next inch was cut off again, and then he put that inch of his hands on the table.
People with strong martial arts can see the gap from the fracture, but Liu Mu can't.
One piece, the same, none of the prices offered by Su Shichang are not amazing.
A stone grass fruit can be offered at a price of ten times, and what else he doesn't dare to call a high price for. There may only be salt and tea bricks that have been priced for a long time.
It took two hours just to quote and display.
The same is written on the contract.
At the end, Tumidu said: "Even if I give you all the sheep and bones that I have returned, it will not be enough to pay for this." But we still want it, and we don't want to reduce the number. ”
Li Jing smiled coldly, got up and opened the curtain behind him to reveal a huge map, and then drew two lines heavily on the map with a red pen.
"Between the red lines, it was swept clean. 300,000 military spending. ”
"It's too low, it's two thousand miles long, and it will take more than half a month just to run, not to mention the war, and we need one million yuan in military expenses." Tumidu's tone became serious, and it was obvious that he had thought of using this method to settle the bill before.
"A prisoner of war......
Li Jing marked the price of strong men, strong women, women, and young men, and then the number of enemies killed, and calculated by ear, how much is a soldier, how much is an officer, and how much is a big officer.
Another marathon negotiation.
The Uighurs made the price of prisoners of war accurate to steel, and added artisan prisoners of war.
"This kind of price is not appropriate, if this is the case, then the price of the items we purchase must be lowered...... "Tu Du overturned the morning lightly.
Another hour passed, and Liu Mu sat there feeling pain all over his body, and the thirteen people in the meeting hall except Liu Mu slapped the table, arguing one stroke after another.
Until sunset, the price has not been negotiated.
"Let's not talk about it today, and we will continue tomorrow." Tumidu yelled, Li Jing was also tired, and he also said: "Okay, let's talk about it tomorrow." In any case, the value of spices and killing enemies cannot be revisited tomorrow. ”
said that they didn't talk about it, but the two sides did not leave.
Tu Midu walked to the dozing Liu Mu: "Liu Tuoma, you didn't say a word today." ”
