"This time, we have added 6,000 guan of medicinal materials to the Miao Man trade!"
"The new transaction with Fuyu is 1,400 guan for wild ginseng and 2,000 guan for seaweed powder..."
Lu Yi began to report one by one the items that the envoys from various countries planned to trade through Tang Ping and Datang.
Every time he said something, the flesh on the faces of some Chang'an wealthy businessmen sitting below trembled.
After reciting for several minutes, Lu Yi finished reciting everything, which shows that the transaction volume this time was huge.
Officer Li licked his lips, then looked at Tang Ping expectantly and asked, "Shopkeeper Tang called us here today because..."
"Yes, just for these things!"
How could Tang Ping handle such a large transaction volume by himself?
And there are specialties in the art industry. Today, things from the south and the north are brought in. Many of them are raw materials, which need to be processed twice or even three times before they can become finished products.
Tang Ping's workshop did not have such a large production capacity, and he never liked to work alone when doing business, so he invited some wealthy businessmen from Chang'an over.
Hearing Tang Ping's admission, everyone was happy.
Although people outside say that they are as rich as the country, that is just an adjective.
This kind of transaction at the national level has a transaction volume that they usually find difficult to achieve.
"Li Yuanwai." Tang Ping looked at Li Yuanwai who was making medicinal materials and said: "We are also old friends. Please bother to process the medicinal materials imported from Miaoman this time. Among them, Panax notoginseng and other hemostatic medicinal materials can be made directly. into styptic powder and styptic bandages.”
"Don't worry, Shopkeeper Tang, we will definitely live up to your trust!"
The processing of medicinal materials is inherently difficult, and there are various ways to prepare medicinal materials. Li Yuanwai, who deals in medicinal materials, is the most professional in Chang'an or Datang. Tang Ping can rest assured that he can handle it.
"As for the price, I guarantee you 70% of the net profit, but for the quality, I don't need to say much, you already know how to do it."
Even though the net profit was only 70%, the amount was huge. In the end, Li Yuanwai's net profit was at least 1,000 yuan. This was the amount in the first year.
"Don't worry, Shopkeeper Tang!" Li Yuanwai patted his chest and assured, "Everyone knows what these medicinal materials are used for. How dare I be careless about this matter?"
Such a large amount of styptic powder and hemostatic bandages are naturally supplied to the military, and there are also so many first-aid medicines. How dare Yuan Li be careless?
"Fat Liu, those things like seaweed powder and dried meat can be made into marching rations as I told you. Is that okay?"
"Don't worry, Shopkeeper Tang. Thanks to our research and improvement, the marching rations taught by you and Miss Xiaoluo can be stored for four months in summer and July and August in other seasons without any problem."
When Fatty Liu spoke, the flesh on his face trembled: "Now, two military ration workshops have been built in the Chang'an Workshop District. The instant noodles produced in one day are enough to provide a day's ration for an army of 50,000 people. If we want to... we only need to send more manpower, and the output can be increased by more than five times. "
"Okay, the taste of this kind of marching ration is a bit worse, but the nutrition will definitely not be worse than what they usually eat. It is enough to maintain the current output when not in wartime. Also, if there is any that is about to expire, be sure to call the Ministry of War Take it away and eat it to avoid wasting it."
"Don't worry, Shopkeeper Tang, Liu will save it."
As he spoke, Tang Ping looked at Shopkeeper Liu and Shopkeeper Wang in the west of the city.
"You two, the eiderdown quilt you made last time was not that good!" Tang Ping stretched out his hand, and Luyi sent two eiderdown quilts over.
Tang Ping picked up one of the beds: "Who made this bed? Just a little bit of duck down was added. Is it because you want to reduce the duck down I provided?"
Throwing away the quilt, he picked up another one and said, "And this bed, look at the seams for yourself? That duck feather can stuff your mouth when covered with it at night!"
Both of them looked embarrassed and picked up the quilts made by their own workshops, but they didn't know what to say.
Tang Ping looked at the two of them, then looked at the others and said, "Everyone, think about it, have I, Tang Ping, ever owed you anything when doing business with you?"
"Of course not. Shopkeeper Tang is the most business-oriented and the most particular. Shopkeepers Liu and Wang really went too far this time."
"Yes, Shopkeeper Tang is a man of justice. Last time, my treasury had some cash flow issues, even though the goods had not been fully delivered, Shopkeeper Tang paid me the balance in advance. How long has it taken for our business status to improve? All of this is Shopkeeper Tang’s hard work, I hope everyone doesn’t take the name of that profiteer!”
Everyone else agreed with Tang Ping, making Shopkeeper Liu and Shopkeeper Wang look even paler.
Tang Ping sighed: "You two have the largest business in Chang'an. They say that it is better to be experienced than to be experienced, but..."
"Shopkeeper Tang!" Shopkeeper Liu said first: "It seems that I blame my subordinates for being lax in this matter. I admit it, but for the sake of many years of cooperation, I also ask shopkeeper Tang to let me rework, and I am willing to donate another five yuan." Thousands of duck down quilts!”
"Me too, me too!" Shopkeeper Wang also shouted anxiously.
Seeing that the business here in Tang Ping is getting bigger and bigger, how can the two of them be willing to be kicked out after finally getting on this big ship?
He repeatedly swore that it would only be this once.
"Well, if that's the case, let's not do it again. Please take a long-term view. The place where we can do business is not just the Central Plains!"
"What Shopkeeper Tang said is absolutely true. I heard that Dongyue has used new warships to open up trade routes to the Miaoman and further south."
"Yes, I heard about it too. It seems that they brought back a lot of black monkey-like Nanyang people, and I heard that there are a lot of spices and precious woods there!"
"Don't talk nonsense. I heard that some of the women over there are also pretty!"
"Hahahaha, what Yuanwai Wu said is as if you have seen it."
Tang Ping shook his head. Anyway, the business was done. If these people wanted to chat, they could just chat.
"Does Shopkeeper Tang know about Nanyang?"
"Of course I know!" Tang Ping thought for a moment and brought out a world map: "Look, we are here. This is the territory of the Miao people. The Nanyang you mentioned should be here."
It was the first time for some businessmen to see such a map, and they were surprised and asked: "Shopkeeper Tang, our Tang Dynasty only occupies this small area? What are the other places?"
"It's the land of other countries!" Tang Ping pointed out the countries that everyone knew one by one, and then said: "So, where our business can go in the future depends on how well our Datang territory can be connected. Where to."
The businessmen in the room were all breathing heavily and their eyes were shining. At their level, it was hard to say that they were just doing it to make more money.
Sometimes it is also a pursuit to make the business farther and bigger.
