Traveled through Daming, but was punished by the old Zhu Shizu

It is this kind of thinking that led to the ban on seas.

It can be said that before negotiations with the Central Asian businessmen, differences appeared on the Ming side.

Lao Zhu wanted to sell the power of overseas salt sales, but Liu Xiu was determined not to allow it.

Liu Xiu closed her eyes and thought,

You must not let Lao Zhu's small-scale peasant thinking ruin this trade!

Chapter 267 Shopping malls are like battlefields

Song Zan got up and said, "Patriarch Tutuo, I think it is the utmost benevolence for the Ming government to sit here and negotiate with you."

"If there is still a stalemate and no result can be reached, why don't we negotiate directly with your government?"

The strong man sitting next to the patriarch Tutuo sneered, "We don't do things for anyone, and naturally we don't have the government behind us."

Song Zan was obviously taken aback. Obviously, what this person said was beyond his comprehension.

If businessmen do not rely on the country, how can they do it?

Patriarch Tutuo introduced, "This is the patriarch of the Mabulos Shang clan. It is indeed as he said. We are now a union of several big merchant clans, and we only do things for ourselves."

Lao Wu and Song Zan looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what to say for a moment, they knew too little about Central Asian businessmen.

The brilliance of wisdom flashed in the eyes of the patriarch Tuotuo, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to be a symbol of wisdom. He looked at Liu Xiu and smiled,

"Why don't we talk to Liu Xiu?"

The fifth child heaved a sigh of relief. He really couldn't handle this scene. The fifth child looked at Liu Xiu with pleading eyes. Liu Xiu nodded and got up, and said,

"Salt-making technology can be sold to you, but overseas markets are absolutely impossible!"

Liu Xiu's words were like throwing a stone into the water, instantly causing a commotion in the hall, Lao Wu subconsciously looked at Lao Zhu, Lao Zhu nodded secretly,

The shock in the eyes of the patriarch Tuotuo flashed away, and he looked at the fifth child and asked,

"Is Liu Xiu's statement the same as your government's statement?"

The fifth child nodded and said, "Sir, you can represent the government of Anqing Prefecture."

Tuotuo patriarch took a deep look at Liu Xiu, pressed down the restless clansman, and asked softly,

"As far as I know, the overseas market is dispensable to you Daming, and Daming doesn't operate the overseas market at all. Why did you choose to sell us the salt-making technology, but you are unwilling to share the overseas market with us?"

"No matter what we do in the overseas market, it will not affect your salt trading in the Central Plains."

Liu Xiu chuckled, "May I ask this patriarch, how big is overseas in the Central Asian business population?"

Before Tuotuo patriarch could speak, Mabulos beside him suppressed his anger and said,

"We have set foot in every place. Nearby, we have been doing business with Japan Island, North Korea, and Ryukyu all year round along the Maritime Silk Road. In the distance, we have been to Luzon, Thailand, and India..."

Liu Xiu stood with her hands behind her back, "Is this what you call overseas?"

Mabulos dissatisfied, "Then where have you been?"

Liu Xiu smiled, "I've been to Wa Island before."

"Hehe, hahahahaha!"

The Central Asian businessman laughed, and Mabulos looked down with contempt, and cursed something in Mongolian.

"Shut up!" Patriarch Tuotuo slammed his cane, "Don't you guys know how to respect?!"

The Central Asian merchants immediately fell silent, obviously the Tuotuo patriarch was very prestigious among the Central Asian merchants.

Liu Xiu continued, "However, if you say that our Ming Dynasty does not pay attention to overseas markets, it is a big mistake. Now Wu is building a large number of ships, and all the post stations of the Yuan Dynasty on land will be restored. You are business people. Naturally understand the meaning."

The head of the Tuotuo clan was stunned when he heard the words, his eyes were full of shock,

"You want to restore water and land transportation?!"

"It's not recovery, it's expansion. The Yuan Dynasty stood in Chishui Chishang, and the Ming Dynasty will only have more in the future!"

"The Ming Dynasty will connect with its surrounding areas to form a huge transportation network. With such a generous plan, think about it, how could the Ming Dynasty ignore overseas trade?!"

What Liu Xiu said made the Central Asian merchants speechless. They also fell into a disadvantage for the first time after they entered the land of Wu.

Seeing the Central Asian businessman deflated, King Wu couldn't help applauding!

But Lao Zhu was full of contemplation, and finally chose to trust Liu Xiu,

Let him go and do it!

Patriarch Tuotuo's cloudy eyes flashed, he stood up and faced King Wu, and said respectfully,

"His Royal Highness King Wu, can Liu Xiu's words really represent Daming?"

"Naturally!" Lao Wu nodded without thinking.

After the patriarch Tuotuo confirmed this matter, he turned to look at Liu Xiu and said,

"Then what do you think?"

Liu Xiu smiled, "It's impossible for you to monopolize the overseas market! Because this is what Daming wants to do. But if you want to cooperate, I welcome it."

"You want us to work for you?"

A cute and exotic girl stood up and said, "Timerlan is blue."

"Miss Timur," Liu Xiu smiled, "It's fine if you understand that."

Seeing Timur Zhanlan's eyes full of splendor as he looked at Liu Xiu, the man in hardcover from the Mabulos merchant clan became anxious, stood up and shouted,

"We do nothing for nobody! We are free!"

Liu Xiu shook his head, "Everything in the world is for profit, please clarify the cause and effect relationship, you are not free people who put freedom above everything else, you emphasize freedom only because the current situation of freedom can bring you best interests."

"And if I can bring you greater benefits, your so-called freedom will be meaningless."

"You!" Mabulos couldn't talk about Liu Xiu, so he could only say angrily, "Are you just playing with your tongue?!"

Tuotuo patriarch looked at Liu Xiu and said with a smile, "You're right."

"Patriarch!" Mabulos said in shock.

Patriarch Tuotuo lowered his hands and signaled Mabulos to be safe and calm, "It's just that you have too much appetite to ask us to work for you. We have only served one family..."

The look of reminiscence flashed in the eyes of the Tuotuo patriarch, as if he remembered the years when he was traveling with the caravan when he was young,

"...The Golden Family."

When everyone heard the words, their breath subconsciously subconsciously stopped. I am afraid that no one would not know what the Golden Family represents.

"Young man, I admit that your family's salt is unique, but this commodity alone is not worthy of our loyalty. Since Daming will not give up the overseas market, then I think we can compete freely."

"Of course, we still have to buy salt-making technology, so we might as well talk about it."

Liu Xiu turned around and sat down, appearing to be out of interest, and said directly,

"Salt-making techniques are divided into boiled salt and sun-dried salt, but no matter which one is used, the production cost is too high for you traders."

Tuotuo patriarch was slightly stunned, unexpectedly Liu Xiu also thought of this question,

"Then what do you mean?"

Liu Xiu said directly, "Our salt is going to be sold overseas. You can help us bring the goods. We provide the products, and you distribute them in various places. According to the quantity sold, you will get a commission. It is a guaranteed profit and no loss business."

The patriarch Tutuo's eyes flashed, "Sorry, we don't do things for others. However, I am very interested in this business. We want to buy salt from you and then take the goods to sell overseas."

Liu Xiu rubbed her chin,

These two modes of operation are completely different. Liu Xiu made a point of letting Central Asian merchants sell the goods on an agency basis, and the Liu family still has the right to control them.

And Tuotuo patriarch, what he wants is to sell the goods at a low price and sell at a high price. He is responsible for his own profits and losses, and holds the control in his own hands.

Chapter 268 The Magical Use of Trademarks

Liu Xiu paused, and said, "It's okay if you don't cooperate with us in selling salt. If you distribute part of the overseas salt market to you, you need to agree to two conditions."

The patriarch Tutuo hesitated for a moment, then said, "I need to discuss it with my clansmen."

Liu Xiu nodded,

"Please."

Patriarch Tutuo put his hand on his heart, bowed slightly, then turned around, and started a heated discussion with a group of people in Mongolian.

And look at Liu Xiu from time to time.

King Wu and Song Zan looked at each other with surprise in their eyes.

Before Liu Xiu's arrival, the initiative of the scene was completely in the hands of the Central Asian merchants.

Apart from using power to suppress people, the Ming government has absolutely no confidence in raising conditions.

After Liu Xiu's arrival, the situation was reversed, and Da Ming gradually took the initiative in his own hands.

Liu Xiu sat back on the right side, and Shen Wansan immediately acted like a dog, came to serve tea to Liu Xiu, and said excitedly,

"My lord, you actually let this group of Central Asian businessmen suffer, you're so awesome!"

"Hehe." Liu Xiu chuckled and took a sip of her hot tea.

Old Zhu leaned his head slightly, and said,

"How about it? Can you make them let go?"

"It's hard to say." Liu Xiu looked embarrassed. It can be said that the business philosophy of the Central Asian merchants surpassed that of Daming by several levels.

It can be said that this is the strongest opponent Liu Xiu has encountered in the mall since he came to Daming.

Of course, Liu Xiu is also a different kind of businessman from Central Asia.

Old Zhu chuckled and said in a low voice,

"We will leave this matter to you completely, and we will just look at the money!"

Liu Xiu smiled and said, "Your Majesty, just take a look."

Liu Xiu's evaluation of Lao Zhu is really correct, Lao Zhu is an old farmer,

Talking about everything is false, seeing the real money is the truth!
