Peasant Woman’s Decreed Life as a Wife

  Chapter 1360 Analysis

   "It's not a small expense on the road, but the one you are holding, Mr. Chu, can be bought for a tael of silver."

  Chu Jin made a calculation in his mind. As far as he knew, in Niangqin's shop, a bottle of spiced water sold for more than ten taels, and the most expensive one could be sold for fifty taels.

  The spices in his hand are not the best, even inferior. Although the price is a bit expensive, people with a little money can still afford it.

   Therefore, reselling spices can make money, but if you sell spice water abroad, wouldn’t it help Da Chu earn money.

  In addition to spices, there are also some jade jewelry, emerald coral, etc. These items are expensive, but the quality is really good.

   "Boss Zhou, how much money can I buy this coral abroad." Chu Jin asked straightforwardly.

  Chu Lin's eyes flickered. He didn't expect his nephew to be so courageous. If he wanted to ask such a thing directly, no businessman would be willing to tell him the truth.

  He didn't know whether to call his nephew bold or naive.

Sure enough, Zhou Hong laughed like an old fritter: "The price of these items doesn't matter, Mr. Chu, you also know that the merchants in those overseas places like our big Chu's silk, tea and other items the most, and they often rely on exchange. I don’t really spend much money to buy, so I can’t calculate the purchase price, and I have to calculate the cost of the journey, the road is not safe, and now the sailing can only go to a few neighboring countries..."

  Chu Jin frowned: "That is to say, Da Chu can't sail away now?"

"Of course it's impossible. It's too far away. Not only will it cost money, but the chance of not coming back is extremely high." Zhou Hong was taken aback, thinking that his idea was naive, but he would definitely not say such a thing of.

   "But I heard that Master Zhou is building a ship and intends to sail far away."

Zhou Hong's pupils shrank slightly, and he was taken aback by his words, thinking that he had exposed his identity, he waved his hands and said, "We ordinary businessmen don't know these things, besides, the imperial court only allows small boats with less than a hundred people to go to sea, and larger boats with more people can go to sea." No private trips to sea are allowed."

   "Thank you, Boss Zhou." After hearing this, Chu Jin thanked him with a smile, without saying anything extra.

   Zhou Hong breathed a sigh of relief seeing that he didn't ask further questions.

  After that, Chu Jin didn't ask any more questions, but Chu Lin and Zhou Hong discussed the business of cooperating to charter a boat to sea.

  After the contract was signed, Zhou Hong invited the two of them to have dinner in a restaurant, had a good chat, drank some wine, and then left separately.

As soon as Zhou Hong and the others left, Chu Lin was not in a hurry to go back, so he asked his nephew, "Xiao Jin, the question you just asked is nothing, just ask the price directly, no one will tell you, but will laugh at your naivety, if If someone is that bold, I'm afraid they will think you are not a threat and plot against you."

   "Uncle, I know." Chu Jin nodded with a smile, with a confident expression on his face.

  Chu Lin was surprised: "You know..."

"Isn't it just for cooperation, so I asked in advance. I actually wanted to test him. If the other party can reveal a little bit, it can be seen that he is a frank person and is willing to cooperate with us. But I asked in advance, and he is obviously unwilling to tell. Feel free to perfunctory, and when it is your turn to discuss cooperation with the other party, uncle, you reluctantly reveal a little information, but you are not honest. It can be seen that this cooperation, if the other party's trip to the sea goes well, you can only earn a little money. , I’m afraid that the investment money will be lost.” Chu Jin explained.
