Martial Arts: Start with 100,000 Xiliang Cavalry

Chapter 162 The business of doctrine, ask Xu to go out

In the capital city, a man with a high nose and deep eyes, wearing a plain gray vest, waist-length trousers, was walking on the street.

He has curly yellow hair, and looks around with dark blue eyes, and from time to time he utters a few words that passers-by can't understand, attracting a lot of gazes.

Some people who passed by him turned their heads and looked back. A few children even asked their parents curiously why this man's hair was yellow and his eyes were blue.

There is no doubt that this man is from the West, and there is another person walking beside him, who is Lu Wuyou who is in charge of the household department.

When he was in Taiyuan, most of the people in the city knew Lu Wuyou, every time he went out, he would attract many people to talk enthusiastically, which was very inconvenient.

Since he came to the capital, he has learned his lesson and tried to do more things and show less.Therefore, although the people in the capital had always heard of his name and knew that he was the money manager under Su Yuan, they didn't know his appearance.

Only then was he able to walk freely on the street, and the person beside him was Jerry, the general manager of the "Tulip" company in the Saxon country.

Jerry came here from the Saxon country this time to talk about business and trade.

Since Su Yuan agreed to open the treaty port, the businessmen of the Western Kingdom in the capital immediately sent the news back to China.Afterwards, Jerry, the general manager of Tulip Company, came by boat in person to discuss the matter with Lu Wuyou, who was in charge of this aspect.

There is a translator behind each of them, who is responsible for translating the words for both sides.

"Lu, our Tulip Company is an extremely influential existence in the Saxon Principality, and even in the entire Western Continent! We have tens of thousands of employees, spread across various countries. Our large cargo ships even have as many as a hundred... …Literally, our cargo ships have sailed every ocean in the world!”

Jerry talked boastfully, and Lu Wuyou smiled after listening to the translator's translation.

It's not that he can't understand the words of the "general manager" of Xiguo, he can understand that the so-called "company" is similar to the shops here.As for having sailed every ocean, it seemed to him pure bragging.

Judging from Lu Wuyou's experience in dealing with overseas Western businessmen, these Western businessmen are all good at exaggerating.Cooperating with them, they are extremely confident, even a little too conceited, and it is easy to bluff some honest people.

Lu Wuyou is not an honest person.

After Jerry boasted, he started to get down to business.

"As the general manager of the company, I personally come to you, which is enough to see the importance I attach to the trade between us. As a qualified and mature businessman, and also as a gentleman, I think I must show my sincerity. Lu, Well, as a token of goodwill, I propose that the business between us be exempted from tariffs."

After listening to the translation, Lu Wuyou raised his eyebrows.

Free from tariffs?The general manager of Lao Shizi was joking with him.

"Brother Jie, I think we should stop joking."

"Are you kidding? No, no, no, Lu, I'm serious, I'm not joking!" Jerry kept shaking his head, "We have just established a trade relationship, and we need to try it for a period of time. Only after trying , it is convenient to formulate specific tariffs, which is also a manifestation of liberalism."

Lu Wuyou understood the meaning of Jerry's words, and sneered in his heart.

This Western country businessman is really extremely greedy, he talks about doctrine, but his heart is full of business.

How could he not know that the trade balance between the two countries can be predicted to be huge with the naked eye.

These Westerners are extremely eager for tea, pottery, silk, calligraphy and painting, antiques, etc. Among them, except for tea, which is relatively cheap, the others are precious and expensive.

As for the ones sold in the West Kingdom, although there are some interesting things, in terms of price, they are far inferior to ceramic silk.

If both sides are exempted from tariffs, it will be a huge loss for Beian.

Lu Wuyou was born in a business family since he was a child, and he has an extremely keen sense of smell in this area. After he judged Jerry's intentions, his impression of him was greatly reduced.

If you want to cooperate with such an insatiable guy, you must ensure that you have enough power to protect your own rights and interests.Otherwise, Lu Wuyou knew very well that a very greedy person or group would turn a deaf ear to the rules.

As long as the profit is large enough, these people may be torn up tomorrow if they sign the terms today.

In Lu Wuyou's eyes, the Jerry in front of him belonged to this kind of person.

Therefore, he will never back down on tariffs.

"It is impossible to avoid tariffs." Lu Wuyou said, "If your company cannot accept this, then our business may not be able to continue."

"Oh? That's really regrettable!" Jerry looked disappointed, and then suddenly mentioned Jiangnan as if he didn't mean to.

"I heard that there are two regimes in your country. You are just one of them, and there is another one in the south." Jerry said sideways, "I heard that the silk produced in the south is the best quality in your country. .Perhaps, our company should seek cooperation opportunities from the regime in the south.”

Hearing what he said, Lu Wuyou showed a smile on his face: "It's up to you. Who you do business with is your business. But as the host, I want to give you a kind reminder. The southern regime you mentioned is not won't be around for long."

"If your company cooperates with them, you may find that the regime is gone before you have shipped a few times. Unfortunately, we will not recognize the treaty they signed with you at that time."

After Lu Wuyou finished speaking, Jerry's face became ugly.

His so-called gentlemanly demeanor was also gone at this moment, and it seemed that Lu Wuyou had pierced his mind, and he became a little annoyed.

"God, you Orientals are so dishonest! But that's how it is, we can still talk. But today I'm tired and I'm going to the hotel to rest. I hope we can have a good result when we talk next time."

After speaking, Jerry took a step forward and rushed away angrily.

It didn't matter to Lu Wuyou, on the contrary, he knew very well in his heart that it wasn't him who was worried now, but that Jerry.

Doing business is all about supply and demand.

Now it is overseas countries that need their products, not their needs for products from overseas countries.Maybe, but never that strongly.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that the common people are not too rich for the time being, but all in all, it is Xiguo who demands Su Yuan's side.

After clarifying this relationship, Lu Wuyou will have confidence.

As for whether Jerry will really cooperate with the southern regime he said, that is, the Southern Zhou court, Lu Wuyou is not sure.

But like he said, if they're going, just go.Anyway, according to Su Yuan's plan, if it is early this winter, if it is late next spring, they will lead troops south to seek unification.

With such a short window period, Xiguo can't do much business with Nanzhou, and the unstable supply and demand is definitely not what Xiguo company wants.

The reason why Jerry first went to the Bei'an Army was because of the stability of the North.

On the other hand, in the south, all parts of the country are very conservative now, and they are very resistant to foreign trade.

In particular, most of the local state herdsmen believe that it is good for the common people to cultivate the land and be completely self-sufficient.If you do business with foreign countries, it will attract many variables.

It is well known that rulers hate variables.

……

Su Yuan was not clear about the conversation between Lu Wuyou and Jerry.

He handed over the business affairs to Lu Wuyou because he had confidence in him, so he didn't need to ask too much. He believed that after the latter was settled, he would take the initiative to report to him.

And at this moment, he was in a temporary military camp outside the city, where tens of thousands of Rong soldiers were stationed, and the leader was his hometown general Chu Changning.

"My lord!"

When Chu Changning saw Su Yuan, his expression was very excited. The two hadn't seen each other for many days, so Su Yuan smiled and hugged him.

"Chang Ning, why do I feel that your aura is much stronger, did you break through again?"

As the progress of internal strength practice deepened, Su Yuan could also feel the strength of some warriors.

Right now, Chu Changning gave him the feeling that he was stronger than when they met last time.

Chu Changning nodded: "Yes, my lord, this subordinate is already at the fourth level of congenital!"

"Quadruple, that's right, he can be regarded as a master of the middle and third levels."

"Ashamed, I can't compare with General Zhao under the prince."

"Haha, Changning, don't compare yourself with Zilong. He is a genius and cannot be compared."

God Zhao Yun, an existence with high potential and high growth rate, is now in the realm of a master, and if he keeps improving, he may become a great master one day.That would really be a rare top master in the world.

"Changning, are you confident in this march?"

"Report to the lord, please rest assured, the subordinates will definitely take down the entire Xuzhou in the shortest possible time!"

Chu Changning's hands trembled slightly due to excitement. He has been stationed in Qingzhou for this period of time, and his body feels like it is going to rust and age.This time Su Yuan asked him to be the coach to attack Xuzhou, which rejuvenated him.

Now he can't wait to lead his troops to the battlefield immediately, and have a hearty fight!

"Okay, just be motivated. But don't worry, I've prepared some 'gifts' for you."

Chu Changning was taken aback: "My lord, what gift?"

"Sixty Jianghu masters, how about it?" Su Yuan smiled.

Chu Changning was overjoyed: "That couldn't be better!"

He himself is a martial artist in the innate realm, and he knows how much help it will be if he can have dozens of masters accompanying him.

"In addition to Jianghu masters, I will transfer some soldiers to you." Su Yuan looked at the camp, "These soldiers you recruited are good at fighting, but there is no guarantee that there will be some problems. I will transfer [-] cavalry and [-] commanders. The archer is for you, so you can deal with some extra situations."

"Thank you, my lord! My subordinates must live up to my lord's trust and take Xuzhou down in one fell swoop!"

"Well, let's go and do it."

Afterwards, troops were mobilized, food and grass were allocated, and after everything was ready, three days later in the morning, Chu Changning led his army to officially set off to attack Xuzhou.

At the same time, Mu Youtu of Yunzhou State was on his way back to Yunzhou with the reply from Mu Shiming of Haizhou State.
