Chapter 784
"Crazy, you Tang Dynasty are so poor and crazy!" The old eunuch also shouted in horror.
A pound of refined salt sold for one hundred taels of silver, which was a sky-high price. Needless to say, ordinary people couldn't afford the refined salt of Datang.
Staring at the horrified Emperor Qi, Meng Tian jokingly said: "Emperor Qi, you have to understand that refined salt is priceless and unmarketable. Every year, the amount of refined salt specially provided by the major royal families is extremely limited! Besides, our Datang refined this refined salt The quality far exceeds that of the refined salt specially supplied by the major royal families. Although one hundred taels per catty is expensive, it is not outrageous!"
"Isn't this outrageous?" Qi Huang was dumbfounded.
Meng Tian lowered his voice and said: "It depends on who the sales target is. If it is ordinary people, they will definitely not be able to afford this salt, but what about princes and nobles? As far as I know, there are not a few rich people in Northern Qi, right? To put it bluntly, most of them Tang Lian’s refined salt is mainly provided to high-end customers!”
"Do you think, if Datang only cooperates with the Northern Qi royal family, and the Northern Qi royal family gets the right to sell refined salt, it will not be up to you, the Northern Qi royal family, to decide how to price the refined salt imported by Datang in the future? We sell a pound of one hundred taels, and you can sell one One hundred and fifty taels, two hundred taels, refined salt is extremely rare, there will definitely be people paying for it."
"I somewhat understand what you mean!" Emperor Qi said thoughtfully.
He could finally see that the refined salt refined by Datang had no intention of selling it to ordinary people. Their high-quality refined salt mainly served the royal families, princes and nobles.
If the Northern Qi royal family fully cooperates with Datang, then Datang can mainly provide refined salt to their royal family. After getting the high-quality refined salt, the Northern Qi royal family can conduct secondary sales.
In this way, not only did Datang make money, but even the Northern Qi royal family could count the money until their hands were weak.
Remember https://m in one second.
Seeing Emperor Qi's move, Meng Tian said seductively: "Emperor Qi, the Chinese New Year is coming soon. If we order a large amount of refined salt now, we will definitely make a lot of money at this juncture."
"One hundred taels per catty is still too expensive. Northern Qi and Datang are allies, so allies should get discounts, right?" Emperor Qi's heart pounded.
At present, Northern Qi's finances are not in good shape, and the Emperor of Qi really wants to take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune from the princes, nobles, and a large number of wealthy businessmen in Northern Qi.
Meng Tian chuckled and said: "Let's not mention whether we are allies or not. Before coming, His Highness the Crown Prince said that since you are his uncle, he will give you a 30% discount!"
"30% off? Why is this guy so stingy? No, 50% off!" Emperor Qi began to bargain.
Meng Tian shook his head and said: "Thirty percent off is already the limit. Except for the Northern Qi Dynasty, all royal families in various countries currently set prices at one hundred taels of silver per pound!"
"Okay then, 30% off, 30% off, I'll buy 10,000 kilograms from Bei Qi first!" Emperor Qi accepted the offer.
He knew that Tang Yu had given him the respect of being an uncle. The 30% discount was not too much, but it was definitely not too low.
"Okay!"
Hearing that Qi Huang wanted to order 10,000 kilograms of refined salt, Meng Tian's face was instantly filled with smiles.
He silently calculated in his mind that ten thousand kilograms of refined salt was equivalent to seven hundred thousand taels of silver, and this was just the beginning.
Meng Tian was fully confident that when the Northern Qi royal family tasted the benefits, they would definitely increase their purchases. Although there were not many rich people in the world, a small group of rich people accounted for more than 70% of the world's wealth.
As long as high-quality refined salt is fully open to the public, these rich people will definitely rush to buy high-quality refined salt. After all, eating high-quality refined salt is not only a symbol of wealth and status, but also has great benefits for the body.
After successfully getting the order from Northern Qi, Meng Tian didn't stop there. He happily headed towards the Tang Dynasty with 700,000 taels of silver.
At the same time, other envoys from the Tang Dynasty arrived in other countries around the world one after another.
"Let me go! Is this the latest refined salt refined by your Tang Dynasty? The color, texture and taste are simply several grades better than our royal special salt!"
"What? Your Tang Dynasty's refined salt is one hundred taels per catty? Is this...is this wrong? Is your Tang Dynasty crazy because of poverty?"
"Are you sure you will only cooperate with our royal family? Our royal family can still sell it for a second time? You can even provide refined salt in advance and let us pay the balance after the sales are completed?"
"If this is the case, then I, the Great Xia Dynasty, will order ten thousand taels to try!"
