Huang Jue, after three marriages

Chapter 27 Merchant
Coming out of the barracks, the docking procedures for sea ships have been completed.

Soldiers surrounded the entire pier.

The two big food ships were unloading goods, seeing this situation, the owner stood on the pier to watch the excitement.

As a result, nothing happened, and when he turned his head, he saw Li Xiang.

Immediately he laughed loudly and said, "I said who made that slacker Moore actually send troops out. It turned out to be you. What good things did you bring this time?"

Li Xiang greeted Xie Jue with a smile, and said to Xie Jue in a low voice: "His name is Ai Shener, he is a big businessman in Baghdad, he is a good person, you can sell all those tuancha to him."

After traveling on the boat for so long, Li Xiang also knew the approximate quantity of three kinds of tea on Xie Jue's boat.

The quality of that ball of tea is not comparable to that of black tea and black tea, and the quantity is not too much now.

(After 30 catties were removed and sold, there are still more than 5 catties left)

Eschener is not the biggest giant businessman, but his strength is not bad, and he has a good character, so he is a good customer.

In this way, after the group tea is sold, the black tea and black tea can be sold to different people, and the quantity can be broken up, and the price can also go up.

Xie Jue understood as soon as he heard it, and nodded slightly.

Li Xiang then introduced Xie Jue to Ai Shener, and then brought him on board for tea.

The tea is not finished yet.

Ai Shener has already negotiated a business with Xie Jue excitedly.

The two sides bartered, and the tea cakes cost [-] gold per cake, a total of [-] cakes, and Ai Shener would prepare all the goods Xie Jue needed with the same value.

Li Xiang looked at the goods list Xie Jue had issued, and unconsciously pursed his lips into a smile.

Most of what Xie Jue bought in Zhuluo was spices and treasures, but what he wanted from Aishener was a lot of daily necessities.

All the ports of the Song State have city ship divisions, not only in charge of tax collection, but also in the purchase of goods.

Spices and precious goods have a particularly high raffle rate, but daily necessities, such as gold soft satin, wool blankets, camel blankets, glass utensils, rose water, Damascus knives, etc., are not included in the raffle, or the amount of raffle is very small.

The ivory frankincense and other items that Xie Jue wanted were also of poor quality, which belonged to the low-priced category.

He just chatted a few words while drinking tea, and this kid remembered it in his heart.

But if these goods are brought back to the Song Dynasty, although they may not be as profitable as spices, if they are picked well, the total profit will only be higher.

For example, the rose water can be sold for about 120 guan in Hangzhou (the glass bottles are expensive), but the volume is very small.

Xie Jue ordered [-] bottles at once, even though he didn't have ten times the profit, but the total profit was also very impressive.

Of course, the most important thing is that the amount he wants will probably wipe out the supply of the entire Basra area.

Fortunately, he was going to Baghdad, and he didn't plan to bring much rose water back...

(easy to break)

Aishen'er's boat was right next to it, and it had just arrived from Baghdad and was about to go to Zhuluo. After the business negotiation, it did not leave.

He called his subordinates to come over and traded the items on the ship with Xie Jue's subordinates directly, and then he was in a hurry to find the insufficient quantity of goods.

Li Xiang also disembarked first to do his own work, and agreed that they would go to Baghdad together the next day.

As soon as Li Xiang left, Guanshi Gong and the translator came back together.

He said solemnly that Xie Guang had already gone to Baghdad.

Xie Guang's ship arrived three days early, and it was docked at the No. [-] pier again, so the cargo transfer was very convenient.

Xie Guang did not sell any goods in Basra, but hired a boat to deliver the goods directly to Baghdad.

Yesterday, the fleet sailed to Baghdad.

And he himself left for Baghdad ahead of schedule the day after the ship arrived.

As for what to do when Xie Jue arrived, he didn't explain anything.

If it weren't for Li Xiang, they would be left on the pier now.

Xie Jue sneered.

He understood Xie Guang's meaning very well.

Xie Guang had suffered from Zhu Luo's loss, so he wanted to seize the market as soon as possible.

In order not to receive the goods again, the selling price is low.

"Where are the other ships?" Xie Jue asked coldly.

"I'm also transshipping to go to Baghdad, but their crew members died of illness more than Xie Guang's, and they are not that familiar with this place, so the speed is much slower. The ship owners set off yesterday, but the cargo will be tomorrow. Only then can the ship be launched." Steward Gong said in a deep voice.

"That's it." Xie Jue laughed, and said, "Staff Gong, you stay here. Together with Steward Xu, except for tea cakes, the rest of the goods are sold here. If there is a suitable item, we can exchange it. If there is no suitable one, we can directly ask for it. gold."

Guanshi Gong was stunned: "But, I heard that the price in Baghdad is much better than here."

Xie Jue smiled and said, "How much better? The ones we bring are not outstanding, and the goods are not many. We must not be able to grab Xie Guang's."

As he said that, he handed the list in his hand to Guanshi Gong and said, "This is the person introduced by Mr. Li, and I think it's reliable, you just watch here, these goods are enough, we don't need to pretend anything else, Save space and go back to bring spices."

When Guanshi Gong saw the list, he was relieved.

With this transaction, it is true that there is no need to care about the difference between the purchase and sale of other goods in Basra and Baghdad.

Moreover, the goods from those ships were all sent to Baghdad, but there was no goods here in Basra, and their prices might not be much lower.

Think back to when Xie Jue insisted on bringing 40 catties of tea, even Xie Qing wrote to persuade him.

I and others even regarded him as young and arrogant, willful and reckless.

Now it seems that people like myself are really shallow.

Xie Jue glanced at him, and continued: "Also, you should clean up the wine and rice on the boat. The wine is not for sale, so take it with you."

Manager Gong agreed, and brought people to meet Aishen'er's men, and started delivering the goods.

There are also related matters (to pay taxes).

Xie Jue breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and saw Su Yue lying on the side of the boat looking out, so she also walked over and said, "What are you looking at?"

Su Yue pointed at Basra, blinking her eyes.

"She wants to go shopping in the city." Xie Qi made a note beside him, then smiled at Su Yue: "You didn't hear what Master Li said, Baghdad is a place of surprises, compared with Baghdad, It's just a town here."

"Well, compared to Zhu Luo, this place is much bigger, let's go out for a stroll." Seeing Su Yue's face darken, Xie Jue rubbed her head and said.

Xie Qi blinked.

Yo, the young master is not awkward this time?Aren't you worried that something will happen in this city?

Xie Jue glanced sideways at Xie Qi's expression, and didn't even bother to complain about him.

Xie Guang left, and so did the other ship owners.

I'm afraid you are chasing after me now, and you just want to sell it for a good price in Baghdad.

I'm afraid they don't even know they're here.

What danger can this Basra have?
Even if there is danger...

Xie Jue turned around and said, "Rong Shan, you and Wang Chun will follow."

Since there are soldiers protecting the pier, security is guaranteed.

Bring two more guards, even if Su Yue gets into trouble, they can run back with their strength!
