Chapter 663, Eyes on the Future
The teenager rode slowly on his horse, Su Lei followed on the side, and it was only after five or six kilometers that the teenager saw Su Lei’s goods that they had piled up in the small depression.
Only the teenager frowned: “Is that all?”
He dismounted and walked around the goods, the most in here were vegetables, but medicines were pitifully scarce, and iron weapons were invisible to a few, but onions, ginger, garlic and other seasonings were quite plentiful.
Summarized is, there are not a few valuable ……
Su Lei explained on the side: “Time is relatively hasty, so can only get these things, you live in the grasslands have not come to the south, so may not know that the supplies in the south are not as rich as you think, get these things is also very laborious.”
The teenager looked at Su Lei with a smirk, he probably understood: “I guess you probably don’t have the money to buy what I want, right?”
Su Lei was instantly embarrassed, “How can that be, what I said is true.”
“Alright,” the teenager no longer broke it down, but said directly, “There isn’t any prevailing currency between us, so let’s just barter, how do you want to exchange it?”
Su Lei thought for a moment and said, “In fact, you can also see, the people in the south are also very poor, you give me these furs, I can’t sell them for a good price, this year, in the end, it’s still the food that’s worth the most money.”
On the way here, Su Lei had already thought about how to counter-offer, it was just to bully the northern nomads not to understand the situation in the Central Plains, let the other party think that their furs are not worth much, and then raise the value of the tea, medicines, iron, and vegetables in his hands, and then he would be able to make a big profit.
The teenager didn’t refute, but continued to listen to Su Lei’s nonsense with interest, “Our Central Plains isn’t cold, so it doesn’t make sense to wear that back fur, but this iron thing is rare, do you know how much this one pot is worth?”
The teenager asked with a smile, “Over nine hundred?”
Su Lei suddenly paused, because this teenager actually accurately stated the value of this iron pot.
Of course, the value wasn’t accurate enough, nowadays, although iron was still scarce, after 178 Fortress took over the Zong’s territory, many of the living materials that were originally in the hands of the Zong’s had their prices lowered, and now the price of a single iron pot was eight hundred whole dollars.
But just a month ago, the iron pot was sold for more than nine hundred ……
At this moment, Su Lei suddenly realized that this teenager in front of him was likely to understand the south!
Su Lei was silent for a while and said, “Let’s not talk about this iron pot, and then talk about this medicine, you also know that as long as people are alive, they have to take medicine, no one does not have a headache, many people have a fever may be burned to death, so the price of the medicine has been high, and guess how much is a piece of this antibiotic?”
The teenager smiled again and asked, “Two hundred?”
Su Lei was helpless, once might be a coincidence, but twice was definitely not.
“How do you know the price of these things?” Su Lei wondered, could it be that there was a traitor in the south who ran away to the grasslands?
Who in the world had leaked the news!
But he heard the teenager laugh, “Alright, the most expensive things you have here are dozens of antibiotics and iron, I can see that these things are also bought by you by smashing your pots and pans, right, the vegetables are not worth much, although the barriers regulate the food, they never regulate the vegetables, and the stragglers can grow them in the wilderness by themselves. These vegetables, I’m guessing you guys grew them yourselves too.”
Su Lei felt a little powerless, but he wanted to resist a little more, “The price of fur ……”
The teenager smiled and interrupted, “In order to show my sincerity, the furs I brought this time are all the best-selling ones, and these things in the grocery store in the market town are at least three or four thousand a piece.”
Su Lei completely lost his temper, he also thought that he could cheat the northern nomads, after all, in the eyes of the southerners, the nomads all seem to be not too smart, especially good at cheating.
And everyone does not say, human history, the Central Plains people can always do business when the grassland people cheated around it, how to their own here is not good.
At this time and then think back, this teenager although wearing herdsmen’s robes, but speak and act in a way that is not too different from the southerners.
It is just that Su Lei has not seen many grassland people before, so there is not much ability to distinguish.
Su Lei glanced at the team of horses behind the teenager, the fur there, he was afraid that he could only change down one tenth of it, maybe even less than one tenth.
The teenager consoled: “You don’t have to be frustrated, of course I won’t do business with you according to the price in the market town, after all, we all have something to earn before there is a future, isn’t it?”
Su Lei perked up, “Then how do you intend to discount the price?”
“This way, I sell these furs to the wall, one less than three or four thousand, but I’ll give you a price of two thousand, the profit of which I don’t need to say it. As for these things of yours, I’ve bought them all at the price in the market town. Moreover, I’ll give you another fifty hides on credit as the capital for your next purchase, so it’s not a wasted trip for you, is it? Today of next month, you just bring me enough goods for one hundred thousand dollars.”
Su Lei was overjoyed, although this was much less than what he expected to earn, but it was by no means unprofitable!
Moreover, the other party can credit him fifty fur this move, simply like a sleepy time someone to stuff pillows, what he now lacks? It is not exactly the capital.
But Su Lei has some doubts: “You are not afraid that I rolled you this fifty fur ran away?”
You know, this is more than 100,000 dollars.
The teenager smiled, “You have the sincerity to run hundreds of kilometers to see me, I believe you are not short-sighted, if you are down to business, what you can earn in the future, I’m afraid that it can be a few times dozens of times hundreds of times higher than these fifty furs? The pros and cons of this, you weigh it yourself.”
Of course, this is also because fur this kind of thing, for the teenager is really not worth any money, he has more than enough!
A sudden business, and soon ended, the herdsman behind the teenager will Su Lei and other people with all the goods loaded onto the horse, happy to go.
There is a little not happy is that most of the fur is how to bring, and then how to bring back, after all, Su Lei they are too poor, bring too little goods ……
On the way back, a han said guiltily to the teenager, “Master, it’s the people I sent out who can’t do their job, I didn’t expect to find a group of such poor horse bandits.”
The teenager laughed: “Hassan, don’t care about this momentary gain or loss, I believe that next month this group of people will bring us a surprise, the vision to look at the long term, now he is just a small horse bandit, but one day he will become a big businessman, to that time, I can get you some automatic rifles to play, you know, the south of the arms traffickers are quite a lot of it. The other tribes on the grassland are still only at the level of wanting to grab something from the Central Plains today, but in fact, doing business is the most secure way, I won’t be coming next month, so you can bring someone here, and you’ll be in charge of this matter from now on.”
“Okay master,” Hassan replied respectfully, “Then master can you have the wolves escort me for a bit?”
The teenager laughed out loud, “Hassan, don’t be afraid of them, I’ll have the wolves accompany you, but the wolves can’t show up without danger, I’m afraid of scaring this new group of ‘friends’.”
