499、Organizing a Caravan (Part 1)
"Qing'er, Xue'er, and a few beauties, everyone is here to have a meeting!" Jing Wen shouted.
Several beauties started to come to the meeting. They didn't know what Jing Wen wanted to do, but they all gave Jing Wen face and all came to the meeting.
"Several beauties, I will bring you good news this time. That is, our Tang Dynasty is ready to go to the Western Regions to do business, and then the money on the Silk Road will come continuously. You should know the commerce from the west of Yumen Pass, right? There is a trade route with gold flowing there. As long as we sell the things here, we will make a lot of money. So, since we have made relevant agreements with the Turks, we naturally cannot miss this opportunity. We have to make money hard. If we miss it, we may regret it for the rest of our lives!" Jing Wen said.
Cheng Lin immediately asked in surprise: "Is this trade route opened?"
"That's right, I'll tell you a piece of news, that is, the Turks have surrendered to my Tang Dynasty and have taken the initiative to open this trade route to our Tang Dynasty merchants. At that time, as long as I Tang Dynasty is a strong merchant, I can form a caravan and go to the Western Regions to do business. This kind of business has a lot of profits, so we must of course seize it. As long as we can go to Europa and go back and forth for a total of one year, we will get a profit of several times or even more than ten times. Moreover, those Turks will not only not plunder, but will protect us. Now, in order to compete for the position of Khan, the Turks may have red eyes and want the support of the Tang Dynasty. It is almost impossible for them to plunder us." Jing Wen said.
The few people didn't listen and their eyes lit up. Because if the Turks did not plunder, the profit would be really huge. The business road to the Western Regions has been making money since ancient times, which can make countless people jealous. Even a few beauties, the layman, understands how profitable the Silk Road is. This business road is recorded in history books. However, it was occupied by the Western Turks before. The trade routes between the Tang Dynasty and the Western Regions were cut off, so it would not be possible to obtain huge benefits from this. Now that the Western Turks have opened up this trade route, isn't God allowing themselves to rise? The court also needs to organize official caravans to go to the Western Regions, and then obtain huge benefits and then use them to complete military support, military reform, establish firearmed troops, and even various administrative matters. Only with money can the country develop!
"Husband, we will organize the manpower immediately and make money immediately. However, this time we will organize the manpower to the Western Regions. What are we going to sell?" Cheng Lin asked.
Jing Wen immediately said: "Of course, first of all, you need to sell things that are lightweight, small in size, and can make a lot of money. For example, tea, Westerners will definitely like tea!"
"Why?" Cheng Lin asked in disbelief.
There is no popular tea in the Tang Dynasty now, but why is Jing Wen so sure that Westerners like tea? They don’t know at all that Jing Wen judged it based on the experience of later generations. The tea in later generations can be said to be very profitable in the West. Apart from silk porcelain, the most profitable one is tea. Jing Wen bought silk porcelain too late and could not be too monopoly. But tea is different. Tea is almost always monopoly now, so Jing Wen can get the maximum profit. Silk and porcelain cannot be monopoly. Instead of choosing a business that cannot make the maximum profit, it is better not to focus on an industry that has not yet been developed and become the leader of this industry.
"Also, Western women have a very heavy smell in their bodies. We might as well take some perfume. The women on their side should like it." Jing Wen said.
"Western women have a smell? Husband, have you ever come into contact with Western women? We Turkic women also have a smell, but at that time, it was because of long-term contact with horses, cattle and sheep. As long as we leave horses, cattle and sheep, there will be not many baths. Are Western women born with taste?" Asnayun asked.
"I heard, I heard it! But I'd better bring some perfume over there." Jing Wen said.
Jing Wen didn’t know if Western women tasted, anyway, he just heard of it. Anyway, Jing Wen was just an otaku in his later generations, so he had the opportunity to come into contact with beautiful foreign girls, let alone this kind of almost very intimate contact, so Jing Wen naturally didn’t know whether this legend is true or false. However, there should be no problem for Western women to like perfume. As long as women love beauty, there are no ones who don’t like perfume. It can be said that as long as it is a woman, they like perfume. However, it depends on personal financial strength and personal preferences. Many men even like perfume. Men like perfume does not mean that they are glass. On the contrary, there are many times when men spray perfume to attract women!
Perfume is also an industry that Jingwen can monopolize, because at present, Jingwen, the only one in the Central Plains can produce perfume, and this is also a huge profit. In the next few decades, as long as Jingwen's status is not greatly reduced, no one will have the courage to involve Jingwen's tea and perfume industries. Jingwen also plans to sell tea and perfume to foreign countries, because international trade is a huge profit business, and the small money in China is not comparable at all. As for China, Jingwen will not compete with them for that little food in the future. Jingwen mainly makes international luxury goods, and tea perfume is the key point.
"Husband, do you want to notify the merchants with us and ask them to organize their men to go to the Western Regions together? At that time, our entire Tang Dynasty will organize a huge caravan to go over and take care of each other!" Liu Qing asked.
