Prince Feng's expression froze.
Li Mu and Wang Li both breathed a sigh of relief.
Fang Rui also completely understood that Xi Yan was not involved in Nanyuan's aquatic product management, so he pretended to be mute in this chamber of commerce.
Representatives of various city chambers of commerce were overjoyed when they learned what Xi Lu meant. As long as their country signed a fishery contract, they would naturally not miss a piece of the pie.
"Haha, it's a pity that His Royal Highness doesn't eat aquatic products." Prince Feng laughed and looked at everyone: "As for the Nanyuan aquatic product cooperation, it depends on your sincerity. I have drafted a new one here. Please take a look at the contract."
The butler took out the contracts that had been prepared and distributed them to everyone in turn. The new contract was not given to Gu Shuo and his party.
Prince Feng glanced away with a slightly proud look. He looked calm. He didn't believe that Gu Shuo didn't have any jealousy in his heart.
Ye Qianning met the proud look and smiled, hoping that he would always be so proud.
Everyone in the hall saw the new contract drawn up by Nanyuan, and their eyes were all focused on the price of thirty copper coins per pound.
Although Nanyuan is poor, it is the largest country among the four countries and has a lot of sea areas. The daily volume of aquatic products transported by a port in the entire country is tens of thousands of kilograms, and the larger ports can range from tens of thousands of kilograms.
There are hundreds of ports in Nanyuan. If it is 30 copper coins per pound, the daily payment is a sky-high price.
In addition to transportation and labor, if there is an accident on the road and the death of aquatic products is caused, the selling price will also be reduced.
Contracting the country's aquatic products for 30 copper plates is a huge risk.
And it’s still a ten-year contract, who dares to sign it?
Li Mu also hesitated when he saw the price. Gu Shuo's contract was eight copper coins per pound, and the price in his mind was twice as high as Gu Shuo's purchase price.
The current thirty copper coins far exceeded his estimate.
Although they did purchase aquatic products worth thirty copper coins per pound in Qingzhou before, Qingzhou is not big and the output is very small, so it is profitable to buy some at a high price.
But if it were to acquire the entire Nanyuan aquatic products, no one would be able to afford the price.
Wang Li also fell silent, also feeling that there was no benefit from thirty copper plates. The aquatic products transported by Gu Shuo to Dongsi were sold locally for only about thirty copper plates.
When the price was low, it was only more than 20 copper coins per pound. Nanyuan really dared to ask for the price.
Thirty coppers?
Ye Qianning had to say that Prince Feng was probably crazy about money and had no benefit whatsoever.
The price of private sales in Nanyuan is very high, but that is only because there are contracts through normal channels, and high profits allow fishermen to sell privately, just like smuggling.
The price is too little, but the price is too high. If you sign a contract with 30 copper coins in Nanyuan, you will lose everything in one year.
The hall fell into silence. Everyone was holding the contract and no one spoke, everyone had their own thoughts.
Prince Feng observed for a while and when no one responded, he laughed and said: "Whoever can accept the price in the contract will own the Nanyuan aquatic product channel."
All the businessmen present were silent and looked at the representatives of their countries.
Li Mu and Wang Li stopped arguing at this time, and there was no way to negotiate the price.
"Your Majesty, for thirty coppers per pound, we can't make any profit. With a ten-year contract, I can't make the decision." Wang Li expressed his attitude.
Prince Feng looked at Li Mu: "What do you think, Mr. Li?"
"Although Prince Nanyuan Aquatic Products is very famous in several countries, the price for contracting the entire country's aquatic products is really too high."
