"Ah? Do you really have so much silk? Oh my God!" Tang Hulu was shocked as soon as he entered the warehouse. He touched the silk, played with the porcelain, and smelled the tea, and his eyes widened. .
"Hey, what does he mean...what does Allah mean? I always hear him talking about it." Shen Wenjun asked in a low voice.
Song Che smiled and said, "That's what their Jade Emperor means."
"So you have been to Persia? You can understand this." Shen Wenjun asked again. Song Che smiled and said: "You read it in a book... So, if you have nothing to do, don't play mahjong all the time and read a book..." He asked Tang Hulu again: "Boss Tang, you are also a well-traveled businessman. We're here, I don't need to introduce the quality of this batch of goods. How about it? Let's talk business?" Tang Hulu stroked his beard and was a little confused: "Excuse me for asking, how could such a large amount of goods appear together? In the warehouse? Of course, I'm not doubting your financial resources, Boss Song, I'm just a little curious." As a veteran, it is reasonable to be suspicious.
Song Che said bluntly: "To be honest, this batch of goods is indeed difficult to circulate in the country, but don't worry, Boss Tang, its source is absolutely reliable and the price is absolutely fair." Reliable source, fair price, amazing Wealth, even if it involves a certain degree of risk, is there anything to doubt?
"Boss Song, don't get me wrong. This batch of goods of yours is of the highest quality. I am naturally willing to do this business with you, but..." Tang Hulu sighed: "It is too sudden for you to have such a large warehouse. I am here this time." Daliang, the money I carry is far from enough. I can only buy 30% of your money at most." Thirty percent is already several hundred thousand taels. With such financial resources, this
"Tanghulu" is indeed no ordinary person. Song Che said: "I don't want gold or silver payment, I just want Boss Tang to give me one thing in exchange - your country of Persia is rich in a kind of black oil, which can be burned after being refined. That's what I want." If history There is no deviation. The Persian state had refined oil and used it as firearms hundreds of years ago.
Including today's Daliang, Menghuo Oil is also mentioned as oil. However, due to the limited contemporary mining technology, oil wells cannot be drilled too deep. Kerosene has always been a rarity in Daliang and can only be seen on the battlefield.
Persia is located in the Middle East. It is a country that does not need to be exploited for oil to flow upwards. If you buy oil from them, you will definitely get good quality and cheap oil.
"One piece of silk is exchanged for one barrel of oil, and one piece of lacquerware is exchanged for one thousand barrels of oil. Each barrel weighs one hundred and fifty kilograms. What does Boss Tang think of this ratio?" Song Che asked.
Tang Hulu fell into deep thought. He was so experienced, how could he not know the purpose of Song Che's oil purchase. Modern petroleum refining is mostly used in wars.
This is no longer an ordinary business, but arms. Song Che saw his hesitation and guessed his thoughts, and said frankly: "This business is huge. Boss Tang should really consider it, but I hope you can make a decision as soon as possible. As far as I know, most of the business is huge." There is also a lot of oil in cannibal countries... You know the food merchants, they tend to do business more easily." The food country is Arabia, and like Persia, it is
A country where "oil flows everywhere". After Song Che's excitement, Tang Hulu hurriedly said: "No, no, no, I've done this business! Boss Song must never hand it over to the big cannibal. Their country is in the middle of a war and is definitely not as stable and stable as our Persian Empire." Powerful." The corners of Song Che's mouth raised slightly,
"So when will the first batch of goods be delivered?" Tang Hulu thought for a while and asked.
"If the sea is calm, it will take three months to reach the Qiantang River from the Persian Gulf."
"Okay! I will pay you the corresponding amount of silk according to the number of barrels of oil you bring!" Song Che added: "But for this business, I hope that both of us will not be too ostentatious and give the money to you secretly. You’ve made a profit, and now that the deal has been finalized, don’t regret it.”
"Don't worry, Boss Song. We are all big business people. As you saw in today's auction, businessmen from all over the world are willing to entrust their valuables to me, which is enough to prove my credibility; also, I will personally handle this business I'll go back to Persia to take care of things, but don't worry, my family are all in Hangzhou. Like me, they are very happy with Liang Kingdom and may live here in the future." Doing business with knowledgeable people is like drinking fine wine. Enjoyable.
Song Che took out a jade bowl, put it into Tang Hulu's hand, and said with a smile: "I saw that Boss Tang couldn't put it down just now. To celebrate our happy cooperation, I gave you this celadon jade bowl as a meeting gift." "
"Oh, this is too expensive. Boss Song will never do it!"
"Damn! How can the Persians be as polite as us Liang people? You say you don't want it, but in your heart you really want it, hahaha... Boss Tang, don't be polite." Integrity is exchanged for sincerity, so naturally there is nothing to say. .
Tang Hulu stopped refusing and thanked him again and again. Song Che saw the guests off and said goodbye again and again.
"Husband, why do you love the oil produced in their country so much? Half a million pieces of cloth and half a million barrels of oil, even if we resell them, we don't know if they will last until the end of the year." Shen Wenjun asked doubtfully.
Song Che purchased oil and refined kerosene, naturally preparing for future wars. If muskets, artillery, and fire oil are used properly, no matter how powerful the Dijon cavalry is, it will not be a concern.
Using the contradiction between Dijon and Daliang to help Liao Heng become emperor is only the first step. Driving Dijon out and regaining the lost territory is the second step. The first step is internally, and the second step is externally. If you are not fully prepared externally, , but it’s not just a change of emperor, but a change of country.
Of course, these things Song Che planned would never be brought home. He always thought that his parents were there to be filial, and his wife and children were there to love them.
"This oil is very useful...Don't you always complain that when there is a lot of rain, water leaks from the eaves of our house? The asphalt refined from this oil is an excellent material for waterproofing, and the oil refined from it is particularly durable. Burning, anyway, it has a wide market, so you don’t have to worry about not being able to sell it." He didn’t want to discuss this issue any more, so he changed the topic: "Hey, by the way, I have been wanting to ask last night, what happened to Ganoderma lucidum and He Qiu, Their marriage should be consummated, right?"
"It's done, it was done half a month ago." Shen Wenjun sighed: "But Lingzhi's marriage doesn't seem to be very happy."
"What? Can't He Qiu?"
"no."
"Then he is a domestic violence man with an animal face and a heart?"
"I asked you, can you think of the good things?" Shen Wenjun rolled his eyes.
"Master He is good at everything, but his mother is not. I don't know where He's mother heard the news and learned about Lingzhi's past background. Although Lingzhi married into the He family as the daughter of the Shen family, alas... The He family is a family of officials, and the most important thing is family background. No matter how filial Lingzhi is to He's mother, He's mother doesn't want to see her. "Is there a relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law?
"Tomorrow is the second day of the Lunar New Year. You two daughters are going back home, right?"
"OK."
"Okay! I'll go meet He's mother tomorrow to see what kind of evil mother-in-law she is, how dare she bully my sister-in-law!"
