"20% off?"
When Hasim heard this, his heart immediately moved. He thought for a while and said, "I need time to sell the goods in my hand. Of course, if you are willing to accept the goods in my hand, we can trade now."
"I don't know what kind of goods you have in your hands?"
¡°If there¡¯s something I¡¯m interested in, I don¡¯t mind trading directly.¡±
Liu Jin looked at Hasim and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The tycoons in the Middle East are tycoons, even in this era. When he came to Ming Dynasty, he actually brought goods worth hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. Liu Jin really I really want to know how big his caravan is and how powerful it is, and I am not afraid of being robbed.
"I think you will definitely be interested. I am fully prepared for coming to your country this time. I have brought a very large amount of goods. Everything is a good thing. It is extremely valuable here in Ming Dynasty. This is why I came. The reason for the capital of the Ming Dynasty is because only in this way can there be people with enough strength to eat my goods and provide me with what I need at the same time."
Hasim is still very confident about his goods. He has been preparing for this trip to the Ming Dynasty for a long time and has prepared a lot of high-value goods that are popular in the Ming Dynasty.
Ivory from Africa, gems from India, pearls from the Mediterranean, and precious medicinal materials such as saffron and pepper, which are special to Persia, are many valuable commodities. They also carry a large amount of gold.
The value of gold in the Ming Dynasty is extremely high. The exchange ratio with silver is about one to ten. One tael of gold can be exchanged for 10 taels of silver. However, in the Ottoman Empire and in the West, although gold is also valuable, it is not as valuable as silver. The exchange ratio is only one to six.
There is no way. Although the Ming Dynasty is rich, its own gold and silver production is extremely low, especially gold. Almost all gold mines have been excavated long ago, and the production is very small. Rich and powerful people especially like to collect gold. They were raised up, or taken into the soil after death, which resulted in the extremely high value of gold.
In the past, Hashem would bring a large amount of gold to the Ming Dynasty to exchange for silver, and then purchase goods from the Ming Dynasty. Just relying on this currency value difference, he would almost make double the profit from a trip to the Ming Dynasty. In addition, The profits from selling goods in the previous two areas can easily be hundreds of times higher.
This is also the reason why Hashem can casually take out hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, because in this era, every businessman who can do business between the East and the West is truly wealthy, and just one trip is enough to make a fortune overnight. rich.
You must know that these people in the Middle East once made a lot of money just by selling silk and porcelain from the far East, supporting the prosperity of the Silk Road, and the profits can be imagined.
"In that case, Mr. Hashim, you can first select the goods and quantities you need. I'll have someone prepare them. How about we make an appointment at a time and place to conduct the transaction?"
After thinking about it, Liu Jin suggested that if he took over the goods brought by Hasim, he would definitely be able to make another profit. In this way, he would be able to earn two yuan from this transaction with Hasim. The pen is a big business involving hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, so there is no reason not to do it.
"Very good!"
When Hasim heard this, he nodded happily. He was actually worried about the goods he had brought over. The quantity was too huge. The key was that it was very valuable and it was difficult to find a suitable trading partner. Now he can directly complete the sale and purchase. Buying it saved a lot of trouble, and he was happy to accept it.
Next, Liu Jin began to introduce the glass products of Gujinlou to Hasim in detail, from mirrors to crystal products to handicrafts, etc. There were hundreds of product types, and Liu Jin was also very satisfied. It took more than an hour to finish the general explanation.
Hasim is a qualified businessman. While listening to Liu Jin's introduction, he also carefully analyzed the sales situation of this product. At the same time, he also combined the transportation capabilities of his own caravan, the funds in hand, etc., and conducted a Comprehensive purchasing.
In the end, Hasim did not purchase too many fancy glass products. The most popular ones were mirrors. The largest proportion of them was the small mirror that is only about the size of a palm and is embedded in a makeup box. As for full-length mirrors, Mirrors with dressing tables and other large mirrors of different specifications and types are rarely purchased.
This made Liu Jin couldn't help but nod. This Hasim was very shrewd. He obviously knew that this glass was fragile. It was transported back to the Ottoman Empire from the Ming Dynasty. It was a long journey. Anything could happen during this period. Bring a makeup box. ?Because the small mirror is protected by a makeup box, it is easy to carry and not easily broken, making it very suitable for long-distance transportation.
A full-length mirror like that was too big, extremely inconvenient to transport, and easily broken. It would result in a loss of money. At the same time, he clearly saw the value of the mirror and knew that as long as this thing was shipped back, he would definitely make a lot of money.
This purchase list was calculated to be worth more than 600,000 taels of silver. In the end, Liu Jin also decided to accept only 600,000 taels of silver from Hashem.
After the two sides agreed to trade in Xishan outside the capital tomorrow, Liu Jin also sent Hasim out of the Gujin Building with a smile on his face.
"Six hundred thousand taels of silver, these Hu merchants are really rich!"
When Liu Jin returned to the private room again, Zhu Houzhao, who had witnessed the whole process, couldn't help but sigh.
In the past, he still thought the silver was very valuable, but after doing business with Liu Jin, he found that the silver was really nothing. The business of the Gujin Building on the first day of opening could reach nearly one million taels of silver.
Now a Hu businessman can actually spend 600,000 taels of silver at one time to purchase goods. It immediately made him feel that there are many, many rich people in the world of love. On the contrary, he, the prince, and his cheap father Hongzhi The emperor and the entire Ming court were the poorest.
¡°Our Ming Dynasty¡¯s treasury¡¯s annual tax revenue is less than three million taels of silver!¡±
Zhu Houzhao sighed and shook his head.
"What does this mean? When our fleet opens a route to the Golden Continent, and the gold and silver from the Golden Continent continue to flow into our Ming Dynasty, you will know that these are nothing at all."
"What's more, do you think this Hu businessman is the only one who is rich?"
"Actually, these businessmen in Ming Dynasty are also very rich. Can you believe that large orders of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver will be very common in the future."
Liu Jin looked at Zhu Houzhao, smiled and said.
"Xin, I now understand the principle that since ancient times, you can't be rich without business. This small businessman is so rich. If we transport our Ming Dynasty goods to the Ottoman Empire and Europe, then we can How much money do you earn?¡±
Zhu Houzhao nodded solemnly, and then thought about the island thoughtfully.
"I don't know about this, so I said that our glass products cannot focus on the market of our Ming Dynasty. The whole world is very big. As long as we have caravans and fleets, we will have a steady stream of products." of wealth.¡±
Liu Jin smiled and shook his head, and then continued to deceive the future emperor of the Ming Dynasty, letting him see the wealth outside the Ming Dynasty with his own eyes, so that he could support external expansion in the future instead of continuing to follow the old path set by Zhu Chongba. .
