Chapter 213 The digging operation before the decisive battle

"No need, your Majesty cannot be distracted by the war over there. In addition, it will take several days for His Majesty to receive the message now. It is not too late for us to find out first."

Erdeniqiqige said nonchalantly that the messenger was too slow in delivering the message.

"Auntie, can I fly a pigeon to deliver a message? Do you still remember that there was a legend some time ago that Jinzhou received an iron bird to deliver something.

I think this iron beast was raised by the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. If we didn't send a letter to the Emperor, we might have delayed the important event."

After hearing Hailanzhu's reminder, Erdeniqiqige thought about it and felt that what she said made sense.

"But now there is only the last group of carrier pigeons left. If we send a message now, if we find anything, the emperor will not receive it.

Let’s do this, check it for one day and then send it out tomorrow.”

"The emperor is personally conducting the expedition. Naturally, my aunt has the final say in the capital, so I will go back first. My niece will retire.

Sister, what about you?"

Hai Lanzhu stood up and was about to leave, but thinking of her worries today, she decided to send a message.

"Queen, I think we should send a message to the emperor as soon as possible. This iron bird is related to the Ming Dynasty. There must be something fishy about the war with the Ming Dynasty at this moment."

"If the Aijia say you don't need it, then you don't need it. I will immediately send eight hundred miles of urgent cavalry, and two letters will be sent over in three days."

"Queen, cough cough cough, cough cough, okay, let your opinion take precedence."

Hai Lanzhu wanted to continue fighting, but suddenly started coughing. Looking at the handkerchief that the queen suddenly raised, she gave up feebly.

Watching Concubine Zhuang and Concubine Chen leave, Erdeniqiqige thought that both of them had given birth to sons, and a green light flashed in his eyes.

She gave birth to two daughters, and now Huang Taiji's body is getting weaker and weaker.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that he and Hai Lanzhu are almost the same sick people, and they have always had a dull relationship with him.

Under such circumstances, having a dragon seed became a luxury, so she had to make some plans for the future, otherwise she would have to endure the fornication in the palace.

At the other end is the capital of Beizhili.

Riding a motorcycle, accompanied by the Royal Army Guards, the exclusive servicemen assigned to Chen Ye by Chongzhen, Chen Ye rushed to the Royal Merchant House.

Charlie, Banduma, Abel, and the Kikuta family, a total of more than ten people, were already waiting on the second floor.

The room where the lights and candles were turned on in advance did not surprise everyone. On the contrary, the canned fruit served by the waiter made a group of people eat and drink all the sugar water.

"Damn, this fruit is so delicious, the people from this Royal Merchant Company really know how to enjoy it.

How did they make the originally sour fruit so delicious?"

"Banduma, Abel, no wonder you don't want to go back to Ming Dynasty. It turns out there are so many delicious food. I swear, I will buy more of this."

Charlie shouted to Banduma and Abel, looking at the cans they didn't touch, he grabbed them and finished them off in a few mouthfuls.

"We need to order more goods today. These things will definitely arouse the interest of the directors. Look at this glass, it is much better than those idiots in Venice."

In the corner, Kikuta Koko, dressed in a kimono made from the Tang Dynasty, put on light makeup, ate a canned food in small bites, her eyes were small, and she looked very happy.

"Uncle, if this is shipped back to the shogun, it will definitely bring benefits to our family."

"That's right, that's right, there are so many good things. Everything from the store downstairs has to be shipped back."

Ichiro Kikuta has finished eating the canned food, and he can only drool, looking at Kikuta Hezi, eating it in small bites like an art.

There was a sound of footsteps, and the noisy conference room covered the sound. Only when Chen Ye walked into the door did everyone notice.

"You all seem to like our canned food very much. I'm honored that these products seem to be selling well."

"Who are you?"

“Hello, the owner.”

The doubts of Charlie Tang Ruowang and others were lifted by the greetings of Kikuta Hezi and Banduma Abel, and everyone immediately said hello to Chen Ye quickly.

After Chen Ye responded one by one, he sat on the main seat, clapped his hands, and Caiwei came over with a stack of books bound with printing paper.

Then each person put one on the table.

"Everyone, it's an honor to meet you today. I'll keep the story short.

I heard from Banduma and others that you have brought 400,000 ounces of gold, and I am bound to get this gold.

In order to show the sincerity of this first large-scale transaction and to make the company's products more profitable for everyone, I persuaded the elders in my family to conduct a discount.

What is the discount? 30% off the original price, that is to say, for goods with 10,000 ounces of gold, now you only have to pay 7,000 ounces of gold.

What you have in hand is the price list."

"Oumaika!"

"Oh God, Holy Mother!"

Everyone, including Banduma, looked at Chen Ye in surprise. This discount was too big.

Charlie and Tang Ruowang looked at each other and saw the excitement. The Royal Merchant Company was selling items, and their plan became more and more clear.

"Mr. Shopkeeper, with all due respect, four hundred thousand ounces of gold are worth at least four million taels of silver. They are enough to buy dozens of ships. We want to know, how are you going to transport it?

Is it the royal company that you transported to Tianjin Wei? Or do I have to wait for you to bring it here slowly? How long will it take for the goods to be traded? "

Charlie asked for information that everyone wanted to know, so the whole audience looked at Chen Ye quietly.

"To be honest, in the entire North Zhili, the goods in my hands alone are worth more than 800,000 ounces of gold.

So for your order of 400,000 ounces of gold, even if it is discounted, it only takes me four days to get Tianjin Wei for you.

As long as you have money, what can't you do?"

After listening to Chen Ye's words and calculating his discount ratio, Charlie felt even more relieved.

"Mr. Shopkeeper, I want to see what other goods you have on hand and the specific prices, so that we can decide how much to buy."

"Mr. East India Company, you can take a look at the booklet in your hand. I can't tell you the specific quantity."

After hearing Chen Ye's words, Charlie opened the booklet and started reading.

Clothes such as jeans and jackets will be repriced three pieces per ounce, stockings will be four pairs per ounce, penicillin will be a set per ounce, and a syringe will be given for one hundred pieces. There are also other perfumes, toiletries, cans, bicycles, etc.

"Oumai, why is this price a little higher than the listing price downstairs?"

Charlie discovered that even if they bought all the items at the original price, they could still make a huge profit, let alone a 30% discount.

Regarding this point, Chen Ye said that it is all a routine of later generations, okay? Isn’t it common sense to raise prices first and then discount?

Banduma and Abel, on the other hand, were slightly calm, and their little money was nothing compared to their high official positions and bright future.

And they knew that if they took it out and sold it this time, the next time they sailed they would not bring gold, but troops.

But for the sake of glory and wealth, they have to invest in the money they just earned. Thinking of this, I feel slightly distressed.

"Mr. Charlie, just tell me, is it cheaper after the discount?"

"Okay, but at this price, I honestly don't know that we are buying on such a large scale.

Mr. Shopkeeper, do you know this is 400,000 ounces? This is 400,000 ounces without impurities, which is equivalent to nearly more than 4 million taels of silver in your Ming Dynasty.

If you ask us to ship out so much gold goods at this price, how should we sell them? If there are too many things, they won’t be worth anything.”

"This is the price. Do you like it? I can tell you that the Ming Dynasty will soon issue a sea closure order.

If you are still unable to go to sea after five days, we will prohibit everyone from leaving, and we will not reopen the sea until one year later. In one year, you will be able to double your wealth."

Chen Ye's expression of indifference made Charlie even more sure that this guy was lustful and lustful, especially when he proposed sealing the sea.

Isn't it obvious that something is going on? The businessman's sense of smell told him that this was using psychological tactics to oppress them.

So he winked at Banduma and Abel.

Banduma and Abel immediately got up and fawned over Chen Ye, and Kikuta Hezi over there also intervened to persuade him.

"Stop! Stop! Stop!"

Chen Ye acted impatient and shouted at several people.

"OK, as you can see, the book I gave you contains nearly 800,000 ounces of cargo.

If you can package it, I will give it to you at a 50% discount or half price, and it will be shipped to the seaport in four days.

You must decide as soon as possible. I can't transport this money away either. I will have to wait until the sea ban is lifted next year before I can transport it away again.

At this price, if you continue to negotiate the price, I will leave immediately. If you want to buy it, you can only pay the original price."

When Charlie heard Chen Ye's words, he almost jumped up with joy.

The 50% off price was such a huge surprise to him, it was so big that it was unbelievable.

If it were bought at this price and the East India Company brought it to Europe, it would make a profit of at least two million ounces.

"Let's discuss it. First of all, I have no objection to that, Miss Kikuta Hezi.

Are you willing to pool your money together and let us buy it together? At that time, the supplies will be distributed in proportion to your money."

"Well, we have no objection."

Kikuta Hezi glanced at Kikuta Ichiro, and seeing that he had no objection, he nodded. This was completely different from their previous plan, but it was still very different.

However, it can also be seen from this that Chen Ye, who could have made a lot of money, was busy handling these goods, which showed that the situation in the Ming Dynasty was really critical.

Chen Ye looked very frustrated and kept complaining.

"If it weren't for the imperial examination in the military, how could it have attracted so many people's opposition? How could it be like this? It's so annoying.

You guys hurry up and transport the gold off the ship, I'll send someone to see if we can take some away first, otherwise we won't be able to take it away."

"Oh, no, no, no, no, Mr. Shopkeeper, you Ming Dynasty has always said a good saying, pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other hand.

The most I can ask you to do is take away a deposit of 40,000 ounces, but you have to know that if you take our money, you won’t give us the goods.

Or maybe your news is wrong and the Ming Emperor sealed the sea in advance, which would be a provocation to the Holy Roman Empire and would bring war to the Ming Kingdom."

After listening to Chen Ye's words, Banduma became even happier knowing that his golden luck would not go away.
