- "Heitong, look at these stones I found, what can I exchange for them?"
A young woman with a mohawk who was about thirty years old and pretty good-looking came to Zhao Hongyu and their trading point and asked with some anxiety.
When Zhao Hongyu and Wang Shan returned to the Mohican tribe, Wang Shan followed Zhao Hongyu's instructions early the next morning and conveyed the news that trade could be launched.
After receiving the news, the Mohican women who had been waiting for the trade for a long time came to Zhao Hongyu's yurt and waited.
Although Zhao Hongyu had a verbal agreement with them earlier, saying that after they collected the stones, they could exchange them for goods with Zhao Hongyu, but Zhao Hongyu was too lazy to exchange them bit by bit, and just asked them to exchange the collected stones. The gold can only be traded after a certain amount of gold is accumulated.
Therefore, these Mohawk women are not so at ease when they have never traded.
It¡¯s okay now, Zhao Hongyu has released the news, saying that trade can be carried out. These Mohawk women are still unhappy, but the problem is that they don't know what kind of deal this is, so they feel very uneasy.
Regarding this issue, Zhao Hongyu had already given full authority to Zhang Tie, a guy who was very interested in business. According to the conditions given by Zhao Hongyu in advance, Zhang Tie sat in front of the yurt and gave the answers one by one.
Considering that these Indian women had to work in cold streams to mine gold from the veins deep in the forest, Zhao Hongyu had to offer a 'conscientious' price. After all, he was not the kind of guy with a dark heart. It is impossible to build one's rise on the blood and bones of Indians.
"Two hundred grams of gold can be exchanged for three axes and a bag of old rice (50 kilograms) from Zhao Hongyu.
Such a price, in the eyes of the women of Mohawk, is a price that could not be more conscientious and fair.
¡°As expected of noble black pupils, fair black pupils¡
How much do three axes cost? A low-quality ax can no longer be sold in the city. There are still some markets in the countryside, but the price is only thirty or forty yuan.
Three axes can hold up to 100 pieces of wood!
Fifty pounds of old rice, even if it costs three yuan a pound, is only one hundred and fifty yuan.
But what about the price of gold?
The price on the Space-Time Trader has soared from 320 yuan to 340 yuan. After all, this price will fluctuate with the price of gold in the 21st century.
Zhao Hongyu knows very well that in the 21st century, the price of gold in some cities in China has almost exceeded the 400 yuan mark.
Therefore, the price given by the Time and Space Trader is still very reasonable.
The Indian women exchanged the gold they collected for Zhao Hongyu, but they could only exchange for commodities worth less than one gram of gold. In other words, Zhao Hongyu's profit from this transaction was as much as two hundred times!
??What kind of business can have a profit of 200 times? Even drugs and arms do not have such high profits.
"According to Zhao Hongyu's rules, these Indian women must mine at least 200 grams of gold before they can trade with Zhao Hongyu.
In other words, Zhao Hongyu can get at least 200 grams of gold for every transaction. But all he needs to pay is 300 yuan for the product, which is equivalent to one gram of gold.
¡°I have to say, it¡¯s really crazy to do such a business.
"But Zhao Hongyu is not worried at all that the mineral vein will not bring benefits to these mohawk gold mining women.
You must know that the current gold mine has not been developed for thousands of years. So much gold is exposed outside the earth's surface that it can be easily mined.
As long as you are not lazy and are a little more diligent, you can exchange goods from Zhao Hongyu and live a 'rich' life.
In the stream of that vein, as well as in the cracks of quartz stone exposed on the outer wall of the rock, the golden lines show the rich content of the vein.
Even this kind of surface mining, in Zhao Hongyu¡¯s opinion, will take some time.
As long as you give him a period of time, you might not be able to buy those large machines from the space-time trader and start deep mining.
time! For Zhao Hongyu, it is the most precious thing.
Of course, money is what Zhao Hongyu needs most.
Without money, how could he cultivate genetic humans? Without money, how could he invest in copycat research institutions and produce new products?products and machinery.
If he had no money, how could he buy goods and trade with the Mohicans?
Zhao Hongyu¡¯s current plan for future rise is based on his ability to maintain constant trade.
"This is the gold I mined. Do you think the quantity is correct?" When the trade began, the Mohawk woman who was first in line took off a marmot skin from her waist. Sewn pouches.
She opened the bag, then turned it over and poured the gold onto the table in front of Zhang Tie.
Zhang Tie and the others didn¡¯t have a weighing device, and neither did the Mohicans.
So, how should we measure the weight of this gold?
Faced with this problem and this situation, Zhao Hongyu and the others have certainly considered it. In order to cope with such a situation and to facilitate the transaction, Zhao Hongyu found a stone, which weighed about 200 grams.
After having this stone, Zhao Hongyi found a wooden stick and made a simple scale.
In this way, a weights and measures for trading appeared.
¡°In fact, Zhao Hongyu himself has no idea how heavy this stone is.
In short, it¡¯s probably enough to have one. As for the portion being more or less, there is nothing that can be done about it, but Zhao Hongyu can think of it.
¡°Anyway, the profit he earned from this transaction is absolutely sufficient, and he wouldn¡¯t care if it was less.
¡°Besides, it¡¯s not easy for those Mohican women. They have to stand in the cold stream to dig for gold. If this goes on for a long time, you might get rheumatism or something.
This is a lifelong illness, and Zhao Hongyu feels somewhat guilty.
¡°After all, Zhao Hongyu is not the kind of black-hearted capitalist who can knock people¡¯s bones and suck out their marrow.
If possible, Zhao Hongyu has even thought about it. As long as he develops plastic water boots or half-shirts, he will definitely provide them to the gold mining women in Mohawk for free as soon as possible.
Only in this way will his conscience feel better.
Zhang Tie gathered together the scattered gold particles on the table and put them in a small wooden bowl.
The stone opposite the wooden bowl is tilted up high, which shows that the gold is enough.
Zhang Tie nodded, then turned around and waved to his subordinate who was standing behind him with a dull face: "Give this lady the three axes and fifty kilograms of rice." After the gene man received the order, He turned around and walked into the yurt and quickly took out three axes and a bag of rice in a sack.
After taking these things, the Mohawk woman's face suddenly burst into a smile, showing that she was in a very good mood at this time.
"Haha, I didn't expect that those useless stones can really be exchanged for food." The women behind started talking about it, looking very incredible.
They all couldn¡¯t understand why Heitong would need such a useless stone?
" However, they will not pay attention to such a thing. Anyway, what they want to exchange is the black pupil. It's not like they, the Mohicans, forced him to do it, so if he likes to exchange, then he can exchange it.
Everything that happens next is very orderly.
After Zhang Tie took out the gold and checked the weight, he found that it was qualified. Then the transaction can be smooth, and the Mohican women are also very honest, and no one is playing tricks.
¡°I don¡¯t want an axe, can you give me pickled vegetables?¡±
When it was the turn of a Mohawk woman, she nervously offered to exchange something else.
Yes, not every Mohawk family needs iron axes or rice. Some of them hoped to trade mustard mustard, Erguotou, matches or other products.
Zhang Tie smiled and said, "No problem at all. We can exchange the goods here with you at will."
Zhao Hongyu and the others had already anticipated this situation. And a very 'reasonable' price was set, that is, no matter how it is exchanged, it will basically not exceed the price of one gram of gold.
If you want pickled mustard, you can, no problem at all.
How many bags of pickled mustard cost 300 yuan, then I will give you as many bags as you want.
Want matches?
Ok, no problem at all, one dollar of matches can give you three hundred boxes!
The man in your family wants Erguotou?
This is simple, twenty bottles of Erguotou!
"Just seeing some stones in the forest can be exchanged for so many things, and the Mohican women were all excited."?.
When Zhao Hongyu did not come to the Mohican tribe, it was no matter whether it was spring, summer, autumn or winter. These Mohawk women have nothing to do. They spend most of their time at home looking after their children, and their only job is to skin and dry the prey that the men have caught.
¡°After Zhao Hongyu appeared, they suddenly discovered that they could also make some contributions to the family and earn food for the men and children to keep them fed.
This doesn¡¯t excite them!
The most important thing is that the work of gold mining is not difficult or hard at all in their opinion.
This is just like taking a casual walk on the grassland and picking up wild beasts discarded by other tribes.
Tomorrow I want my sister to go gold panning. Her children are very good eaters. It is easy to exchange fifty pounds of rice by doing this for three days, so that their family will never be hungry again.
In the crowd, some women began to have some thoughts and prepared to bring their relatives in.
Now I can support my family and get enough food to fill my stomach! I can also buy Erguotou, a man¡¯s favorite drink. If he still doesn¡¯t do it in the future, I¡¯ll hit him! If he hits me again, I won¡¯t give him rice
The transaction was carried out smoothly with the Mohawk women's own thoughts.
