Finally, there was one person who couldn't help it.

The one who asked for the price was a Francophone businessman, who was very young, red-haired and blue-eyed, with a bit of determination, and looked like he was determined to win.

Standing beside him, he was a white-haired Franco, occasionally leaning around him and whispering something.

Xu Qian saw that this guy was quite extravagant, and thought that he must be a Spanish or Portuguese nobleman who came to pan for gold.

Deng Jian seemed to have an impression of this young man, and introduced in a low voice: "This person's name is Liu Da, it is said that his background is not simple, the governor of Luzon has a lot of relationship with him, and he seems to be a close relative. ”

Transit trade is a second-way dealer, Xu Qian hates the second-way dealer the most, because Xu himself is a second-way dealer, and the so-called peers are enemies, he squinted his eyes and asked in a low voice: "Northern Taiwan, why, the Spaniards have arrived in Northern Taiwan?" ”

Deng Jian said: "They set up a few strongholds, but it is not enough to cause trouble, mainly the West Francorang machine and the creeping Francorang machine two countries competition, one in Oyster Mirror (Macau), the West Francorang machine is not left behind, entrenched in northern Taiwan, this West Francometer machine said that the big ship ran aground, and began to land to establish fortresses and strongholds, but did not dare to make trouble, took a lot of silver to buy land, and the governor of Fujian ignored them. ”

Xu Qian nodded and didn't say anything more.

The young nobleman named Liu Da quoted 20,000 taels of silver, revealing a bit of hesitation and ambition.

Xu Qian's face showed a sneer, this guy, once xìng raised three thousand taels of silver from the reserve price, this is obviously deliberately showing his wealth, so that the opponent will retreat.

And next, a Japanese man said: "Thirty thousand! ”

Thirty thousand! Everyone in the hall was in an uproar.

Xu Qian looked at this Japanese man, who had bronze skin, a scarlet scar on his face, and an unruly sense all over his body.

Deng Jian explained: "This person's name is Mura Masantomo, a great merchant in Edo with strong financial resources, and it is said that he is related to the Daitomo Yoshikan, a daimyo of the Japanese Kingdom. ”

Who knew that this village Zhengyou had just called for a price, and another widow smiled coldly and said, "Fifty thousand!" ”

This widow seems to be very bad with Mura Masatomo, and it is clear that he wants to suppress Mura Masatomo.

Deng Jian was excited, his tiger body was shocked, and he hurriedly said: "Shot, shot, Brother Xu, this Japanese is called Takeda Nobuo, who is the Daimyo of the Takeda clan of the Japanese country, the Takeda clan and the Otomo clan have always been against each other, they raised the bar, but they didn't play." Deng Jian said, and reminded unsatisfied: "A few years ago, the Takeda family discovered another silver mine, which is said to have amazing reserves. ”

Mura Masatomo seemed to be very unhappy with Nobuo Takeda's bidding, and immediately quoted a price of 60,000.

When he reported this, Nobuo Takeda really got in touch with him, and shouted: "Seventy thousand!" ”

Xu Qian's eyes straightened, and he couldn't help sighing: "The friends of the Japanese country are really wealthy, admire, admire, in the future, we will attract more friends of the Japanese country, and we must be extremely hospitable." ”

Deng Jian nodded: "Of course, of course, the country is rich in gold and silver, but the materials are poor, and it is blessed." "In other words, it is difficult to find such a wronged leader.

The price kept increasing until Nobuo Takeda called the price to 120,000, and finally, everyone stopped squeaking.

The reason for not squeaking is very simple, the price has nearly skyrocketed tenfold, and now it is just the auction of the first batch of goods, now it is just to see the direction of the wind, there is no need to take your own net worth at once.

Wang Zhi seemed to be in good spirits, and asked someone to send the red bamboo stick to Takeda Nobuo, and let him bring the silver to pick up the goods later.

This Nobuo Takeda showed a smile of ambition and refused to leave.

Deng Jian lowered his voice and said in Xu Qian's ear: "Wait and watch the show, this Takeda Nobuo will definitely help us raise the price." ”

Xu Qian couldn't help but whisper: "Why is this?" ”

Deng Jian said: "Brother Xu, think about it, there are a total of ten batches of silk, will Takeda Nobuo let others buy silk?" If his price is higher than that of others, how can he monopolize the silk trade in the Japanese country? ”

When Xu Qian heard this, he immediately understood that silk was deeply liked by merchants and daimyo in the Wa Kingdom, and there was also the Imperial Family and the Shogunate of the Wa Kingdom, and the demand for silk was even stronger. Isn't it just for monopoly? Therefore, if there are other Japanese merchants bidding, he will definitely raise the bar, and the purpose of raising the bar is to never let the second Japanese merchant get the silk lightly, otherwise when you arrive in the Japanese country, you have a large number of goods in your hand, and I also have a large number of goods in my hand, and finally I have to jump off the building and sell it. Therefore, Nobuo Takeda will continue to bid, but the purpose of bidding is to keep raising the price.

Sure enough, when the second batch of silk was sold, the village was the first to bid for 50,000 yuan, and Takeda Nobuo smiled coldly and said lazily: "120,000!" ”

120,000 is the price of the last batch of silk, that is, if you want to get the second batch of silk, this 120,000 is the basic price.

Mura Zhengyou's eyes were red, he hesitated for a moment, and finally quoted the price of 130,000 with difficulty.

At this time, Takeda Nobuo stopped squeaking, his batch of silk was bought for 120,000 yuan, and the price of others was higher than him, which was a huge advantage for him.

At this time, many merchants were in an uproar, everyone realized that the first batch of silk should be the lowest price, and the further it goes, the price will only be higher and higher, and then a big food merchant Jia shot out and called out the price of 150,000.

This great merchant came from the famous Ottoman Empire, which was now dominant in Central Asia, blocking the trade routes between the East and the West, monopolizing the trade of the whole of Europe, and because of this, the Spanish and Portuguese had to sail and open up a new trade route.

The merchants of the big food are undoubtedly the most financially powerful, these people have monopolized the trade of Europe for hundreds of years, obviously, they gathered here this time, it is to compete with the Spanish and Portuguese, the trade route is no longer a monopoly, but they can still monopolize the supply, can not monopolize the spices, then monopolize silk and porcelain.

Compared with these big food merchants, the Spanish and Portuguese who are still in the robbery stage are actually not enough, and the third batch of silk is still won by the big food merchants, and the price has been as high as 170,000 taels.

The middle-class merchants who had wanted to join forces to bid through guò were stunned at this time, they were obviously powerless, and compared to these giants with strong backgrounds, they seemed very inadequate.

It's just that the Spanish aristocrat Liu Da, at this time the eyes are already red, after the rise of Spain and Portugal colonization, so that the two countries of luxury goods have increased greatly, at this time in Europe, many countries began to import textiles to the two countries, in order to meet the needs of the new rich people in the two countries, but wool textiles are obviously compared to silk, still can not meet the needs of these rich people, they need fabrics as smooth as skin, and the man also needs some porcelain at home to praise in order to show his wealth.

These big food merchants clearly want to monopolize these luxury goods, after all, the big cannibals have already tried the benefits of monopoly, so if they let the Japanese people bid for it, they will never let the Francose people bid to get what they need.

The second-class dealers have an ideal, that is, the monopoly of the supply of goods in a certain place, especially the monopoly of luxury goods, because of the monopoly, things worth one tael of silver can be fried to one hundred taels, just like the so-called famous cars and watches in later generations, the rarer and rarer, the more rare they are, they can set a high price, so that the rich flock to it, of course, this premise is that in this area, there can be no second second-class dealers to compete.

As a traditional family of second-class dealers, the big food merchants Jia obviously know this truth, and they are not relentless in raising prices, as a super empire that has stood for hundreds of years, these family merchants under the wings of this rich empire are obviously financially rich.

The price of the last piece of silk has been speculated to 240,000, this price, it is staggering to think about, the nobleman Liu Da of the Francois was hesitating, constantly discussing in a low voice with the people around him, and finally glared at a triumphant big food merchant Jia with hatred, and gave up the silk dispute.

Ten copies of silk, if all the transactions are completed, the price will exceed 2,300,000 taels of silver, and the price of the purchase from the pacification envoy by sea is only 120,000 taels of silver, which is easily profitable, and of course, the price of these silks will be doubled when they are transported to other feudal domains.

Xu Qian's heart was already extremely comfortable at the moment, he originally thought that the price of five times was already higher than expected, but he never thought that the spread would have reached such a point, in fact, where did he think that if it were not for such a high profit, there were so many smugglers in the Ming Dynasty in the past, who would dare to risk the death of the whole family and transport the silk out to sea.

In the past, the smugglers resold the silk only to earn five times or ten times the interest margin, but now it is different, now it is the complete monopoly of the sea pacification envoys, and the complete monopoly means that there is no other branch of this one, compared with these three and four traders, the sea pacification envoys are the real monopoly organs, and they are more profitable than the East India Company in later generations.

The reason is also very simple, the East India Company still has competition, there is competition between the British East India Company and the Dutch and French East India Company, spices are not just controlled in the hands of one family, but silk and porcelain, except for the sea route to pacify the envoys, there is no second source of goods in the world.

Of course, the strong demand is also on the one hand, the rise of maritime trade, the whole world began to appear new rich class, at the same time, some traditional royal family, royal family, aristocratic class is also amazing, will produce such huge profits.
