Chapter 929 Doing Business Is Not Easy ([-])

The letter was delivered to Jiaji Shipping Company, and within a few minutes, the electronic document was delivered to Zhaolin.

After reading the letter, Qi Ke couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth.

"In just a few days, cotton has risen to almost [-] taels of silver? Fortunately, we have set the delivery price at [-] taels of silver early in the morning, plus [-]% tax, and finally the cost of each pack is [-] taels of silver. "

"It's too expensive. Fortunately, we are first-hand goods, and the store is our own. The retail price of 65 yuan a catty is still profitable. If friends and merchants eat our second-hand goods, they will only have a small profit, unless they have a way to make money." Sell ​​at a higher price."

"This one-size-fits-all tax is too rigid." Qi Ke frowned slightly.

"Be content, at least this fluctuates with price increases. If the price is low, you will pay less tax, and if the price is high, you will pay more tax. Is it better than specific tax? Specific tax is the tax rate for cheap bulk commodities, not based on price. According to the weight, quantity, capacity, area and length, a hundred catties of cotton is taxed at two taels, and we have [-] bales that have not been sold yet, so we have to pay a tax of [-]."

"Well...then it's still an ad valorem tax. Don't remind Bai Qing that they still have a specific tax collection law."

"If Bai Jiajun can get permission from the imperial court, it would be great if he can flexibly adjust the tax rate. In the future, our global business firm will be able to sell a lot of things, and we will not lose money if we build a good relationship with the firm."

"Such as food and minerals?"

"And weapons and ammunition."

"That's right!" Qi Ke suddenly thought of a new profitable product on a whim, "We can indeed sell food."

"Huh? What are they selling? Their staple food? That choking cake?"

"We have to name the staple food they eat. The names given by the aborigines are pronounced too much. Why not call it Aloe Curacao. We have to come up with a name that fits the local habits."

"It's a starchy plant that looks like a tree, but it's actually a giant herbaceous plant."

"That's the same plant as a banana." Qi Ke slapped his hands suddenly, "Yes, a giant herbaceous plant, rich in starch, called grass potato."

Zhao Lin smiled slightly and recorded the new name.

"It just so happened that this time we grabbed another batch of ships. We can count as many ships as we can change in two months, and then we can use them to pull grass and potato noodles."

"We can communicate with the Bai family army through the captain's mouth first, and ask them if they want food, so don't make a fuss for nothing."

"Well, it's good to ask."

"Also, it's not in the interests of maritime merchants to return with an empty ship, and the ship has to carry some cargo back."

"As far as these countries are suffering from disasters, what good things are there to sell?"

"Traditional specialties never go out of style."

"Tea and china?"

"Heyang Prefecture is already famous for its tea production, and Jiuzhi Mountain is the best source of tea. One of the commodities that sea merchants buy most in Dong'an Prefecture is tea."

"Hmm~ The ocean ship is here, it's not decent to go back without buying some traditional specialties. Hey, isn't it just that the money I just got is not warm enough for my pockets and I have to spend it again."

"You can tell Bai Jiajun, if they can supply, buy from them, don't go to Qingshui Port, return with full tea, and bring back cotton and grain in two months."

"Well, it would be great if grass and potato powder could be used as pearls in bubble tea. The ocean ship will bring the tea back, and we will teach His Excellency Ji Keith to taste a variety of milk teas."

"Don't forget the other three nobles, otherwise they will know that we coaxed four little nobles at once but only got too close to His Excellency Ji Keith. They will be jealous. It would be bad if we took back the island as a punishment. , We have so many slaves on it, and the capital has already been invested and cannot be taken back."

"Okay, good, rain and dew, I understand." Qi Ke nodded, "Is the ice cellar at Mr. Keith's house ready? Is his daughter's wedding finished? Has any guest enjoyed the fun of ice cubes?" ? This second round of ice business, let’s start with those three, it’s really not good to ignore them for too long.”

"Ok."
