After some bargaining, Wu Deli and Yelu Dashu finally reached an agreement.
In addition to the goods brought this time, Yelu Dashu will also send another batch of goods of the same value before he can take the Qibao Glazed Rainbow Mirror.
In other words, Yelu Dashu used a million taels of precious goods to exchange for a broken mirror that was not suitable for eating or drinking.
Of course, in the eyes of Yelu Dashu, this is not a broken mirror.
It is the status of a high-ranking noble, a ladder to promotion and wealth, and a shortcut to heaven...
In short, both buyers and sellers feel that they are making a fortune.
Anxious to complete the deal, Yelu Dashu prepared to leave the next day.
Wu Deli was quite interesting. Although he didn't let Yelu Dashu take away the mirror, he gave him 50,000 pieces of soap on credit.
The wholesale price of each bar of soap is quite low, only ten taels of silver.
The price of items sold by Yun's Trading Company is not fixed.
The same kind of soap was sold to merchants in the Dawu Dynasty for two to three taels of silver per piece.
Sell it to Yelu Dashu for ten taels of silver a piece.
Yelu Dashu knew this, and he also questioned why the one sold to him was more expensive than the one sold to Wuchao Trading Company?
Wu Deli's answer was so simple that Yelu Dashu couldn't find any fault with it.
"Shopkeeper Lu, the products sold to your caravan are export-specific products, and the quality is much better than those sold in our country. These are good things that our domestic trading houses cannot buy, so you can just enjoy them secretly!"
Yelu Dashu had a black line on his forehead: "Shopkeeper Wu, it's better to sell this kind of good export-only stuff to your domestic trading houses. I'll just buy your ordinary goods."
Wu Deli's eyes were full of sincerity: "Shopkeeper Lu, our big boss said that we must treat foreign guests the best we can, and we can't fool you with ordinary goods!"
Yelu Dashu: "..."
Knowing that Wu Deli was talking nonsense, Yelu Dashu could not find any evidence, so he could only hold his nose and return to Khitan with 50,000 pieces of soap.
However, Yelu Dashu also knows that if he transports these things all the way back, he will definitely not lose money, and he will even make a lot of money.
There had long been shrewd merchants from the Wu Dynasty who had sold soap to Khitan.
The price is impressive.
In the Dawu Dynasty, it could be sold for more than a dozen taels, or even dozens of taels a piece, at a sky-high price. In Khitan, who would do it if it was sold cheaper?
Only Khitan nobles could afford soap.
Soap in Khitan is no longer just a symbol of wealth. If you don't have enough status, you can't buy it even if you have money!
Now that he was transporting 50,000 yuan back at once, even if he thought about it with his buttocks, Yelu Dashu knew that he was destined to make this windfall!
Wu Deli was worried that Yelu Dashu could not collect the goods worth five hundred thousand taels, so he was willing to give him soap on credit.
This is called a win-win.
Yelu's big tree made a fortune, and Yun's trading company made an even bigger fortune.
Anyway, with the goods shipped this time in hand, Wu Deli is not afraid that the Yelu tree will never come back.
Some people may ask, since soap is so popular, why doesn't Yun's Trading Company transport it to other places for sale?
The reason is simple, as anyone who has done business knows it.
The upstream industry eats the profits of the upstream industry, and the sellers eat the seller's dividends.
If a company wants to swallow up all the profits from the beginning to the end, there will often be no good results.
Yun's Trading Company is awesome, but it depends on where it is.
It's okay in the areas of Dongping Prefecture and Jinan Prefecture, but in other places, it's very likely that people will eat it until no bones are left!
Yelu Dashu can sell soap in Khitan for one hundred taels, or even more, but it does not mean that Yun's Trading Company can do it.
If Yun's Trading Company went to do business on Khitan's territory, the greatest possibility would be that it would lose both men and money, lose his wife and lose troops!
…
Yelu Dashu is gone.
The lives of the common people on the territory of the Yun Family Army are still the same.
Many people may never know in their lifetime that someone has done many, many things for them without their knowledge.
Take the common people on the territory of the Yun Family Army as an example. They only know that their good life was brought to them by Yun Chao, but they don’t know what Yun Chao has done to let them live the life they have now. How much the military has sacrificed, and how many people have even sacrificed their lives!
Therefore, in addition to the publicity team's hype, Yunchao is also preparing to launch a sharp tool - newspapers!
As a time traveler, Yun Chao certainly knows the importance of occupying the position of public opinion.
Yunchao gathered a group of technical personnel and spent a lot of manpower and material resources to improve movable type printing.
Not only did they create lead alloy movable type, but they also developed inks that facilitated printing with lead type.
To this end, Yunchao also improved papermaking technology.
There is no way, the quality requirements for white paper suitable for ink printing are relatively high, and the paper standards of the Dawu Dynasty cannot be met.
Yun Chao is very helpless. There is a serious lack of talents and he has to do everything by himself.
If you want to light up a technology tree, you have to develop many related branch technologies, which is really laborious.
Yun Chao feels that if a miracle doesn't happen, he probably won't be able to travel around the world by plane in his lifetime.
The newspaper Yunchao is planning to launch is called Minsheng Xundao.
The so-called Xunbao means publishing one issue every ten days.
From the preparation of manuscripts, to typesetting, to proofreading, to printing, and finally to distribution, the efficiency cannot be improved quickly. It is already quite good to publish one issue every ten days.
Yun Chao scratched his head and thought for a long time, but he couldn't think of a suitable person to serve as the editor-in-chief of the newspaper.
Again, there are really not enough talents.
Forget it, let that kid do it.
The editor-in-chief selected by Yun Chao was none other than Zhang Sihai, who had worked in publicity.
Zhang Sihai is now just a brick in Yun Chao's hands, and can be moved wherever needed.
Not long ago, he was the director of the Publicity Department.
As a result, he suddenly changed his identity and became the military supervisor of Jeju.
Not long after he had been a military supervisor, he received a transfer order to become the editor-in-chief of Minsheng Xunbao.
Editor-in-chief of Minsheng Xundao?
What kind of job is this?
Zhang Sihai wanted to cry but had no tears.
, a kind of job, just after getting used to it, you have to go to other departments. This life is really impossible.
"Brother Chao, I'm really not familiar with newspapers. You'd better let me continue to be a puppet... No, continue to be a military supervisor."
Yun Chao glared at Zhang Sihai: "You kid, stop playing tricks. You have to work as editor-in-chief whether you want to do it or not. If not, get out now! Tell me, do you want to do this or not?"
Zhang Sihai cursed in his heart, "How dare I say I won't do it? If I don't do it, I'll get out. Who can bear it?"
"Brother Chao, I really don't know what to do with the newspaper?"
"I called you here just to teach you how to run a newspaper. Remember, the newspaper is a tool to promote our Yun Family Army. We want the people to know what our Yun Family Army has done and why we have done it. For whom..., do you understand?"
Zhang Sihai: "..."
