- "Good morning, Heitong, why do you have time to see me, an old man, today?"
Zhao Hongyu opened the door curtain and walked in. Samara saw him walking in and greeted him with a smile.
"It's getting late, it's getting late, the sun has risen so high now." Zhao Hongyu also smiled and raised his hand and waved, then smiled at Samara's wife and Atido's sisters.
"Please take a seat."
Samara raised her right hand and gestured.
Zhao Hongyu walked to his side and sat down.
"The old leader is in good health now and looks very strong." After sitting down, Zhao Hongyu looked up and down and said to Samara with a smile.
When Samara heard this, the smile on her face became even stronger.
"No, I'm older after all. No matter how good I am, I can't compare to the younger people. I know this very well.", "Thanks to you, if you hadn't saved me, I might have been better than you a month ago. Went to see the Sun God." Samara mentioned the incident when Zhao Hongyu came to their tribe and rescued him.
"The old leader is too polite. It's just a simple effort."
Zhao Hongyu responded with hypocrisy and humility.
The two chatted for a while, and Zhao Hongyu started to get down to business.
"Old leader, I came to you this time mainly because of such a matter." Zhao Hongyu said that he wanted to unite with the Mohican tribe and let the Mohican tribe act as an agent to do transactions with surrounding tribes. Samara spoke up.
Samara kept a smile on her face and listened quietly to Zhao Hongyu's story. At the same time, I was quickly weighing the gains and losses in my heart.
To say that Zhao Hongyu¡¯s proposal is not unattractive, Samara certainly knows the benefits of it.
Samara is of course very clear about what Zhao Hongyu¡¯s products can bring to Mohawk. If done well, Mohawk will gain very large benefits, but of course there will also be some risks involved. But compared to the benefits, those risks are still bearable.
"Old leader, I will hand over the goods to you. I will set a price and you can trade with the surrounding tribes at a premium. The extra premium will belong to the Mohican tribe. Do you think this cooperation method is okay? ?¡±
Zhao Hongyu talked nonstop for a long time, and then looked at Samara expectantly.
¡°Actually, Zhao Hongyu is not sure whether Samara can agree to it.
Although this matter is of great benefit to the Mohican tribe, it cannot be ruled out that Samara saw through some problems and finally rejected this benefit.
Because as long as trade begins, the Mohawks will quickly change their current living conditions and completely break away from their ancient lifestyle.
God knows whether there will be opposition from the conservative elders in the tribe, causing Zhao Hongyu's plan to abort.
The reason why Zhao Hongyu is so concerned about this issue is mainly because it is the first step to assimilate the Mohican tribe. As long as you take this first step, the rest will be easy.
Samara closed her eyes and considered it carefully.
When Zhao Hongyu saw Samara closing his eyes, he stopped making any sound and just waited quietly.
After a long time, Samara finally opened her eyes, looked at Zhao Hongyu and said: "This is not harmful to our Mohawk, and I have no reason to refuse. So what price are you going to give us?"
Samara¡¯s words made Zhao Hongyu extremely happy.
"I'm not afraid that you won't agree. As long as you agree, everything will be easy to handle."
"You buy it at the current price and sell it to other tribes. This is your own business. We are only responsible for supplying goods to the Mohican tribe. How much you can earn is your own business."
Zhao Hongyu said.
Samara thought for a while and then asked: "Is there any other way? We Mohicans don't know how to do business. I'm worried that something will go wrong." Samara's worry is not unreasonable. The Mohicans are indeed They don't know how to do business because they have never been exposed to trade.
In previous years, the Mohicans basically bartered with surrounding tribes.
This trading model is very primitive. Often I will exchange something with you because I lack something. And they are not good at bargaining, so they often suffer big losses.
It was precisely because of considering this question that Samara asked such a question.
Zhao Hongyu thought for a while and replied: "There is also a cooperation model. I provide the goods and you Mohawk provide the manpower. At the same time, we are responsible for ensuring our safety and the safety of the goods.Don't let anyone take it away. In this case, we will deduct the cost of the goods, and we will earn half of the money you earn. "
To be honest, everyone will make less money through this kind of cooperation. But it can improve the relationship between the two parties and bring them closer together.
¡°And the Mohicans can also avoid unnecessary losses. They have great expectations for Zhao Hongyu, who is very good at doing business.
¡°Besides, everyone¡¯s approach of sharing half of the profits is even more approved by Samara.
"I think I like the second way of cooperation, but I have to discuss it with the elders of the tribe to see if it will work in the end before I can give you an answer."
Although Samara is the leader of the tribe, he cannot but consider the elders.
Therefore, he cannot give Zhao Hongyu an accurate answer yet. He can only say that he is very interested in Zhao Hongyu's proposal.
Zhao Hongyu was not surprised by this.
"Then I'll look forward to good news. I personally hope that we can cooperate with the Mohican tribe."
After Zhao Hongyu said a few compliments, he left Samara's home.
"Chief, do you think they can agree?"
Wang Shan asked after they left Samara's house.
Zhao Hongyu shook his head and replied: "I can't control their thoughts. How can I know whether they will agree to our conditions in the end? But judging from Samara's reaction, this old man still thinks about our proposal. Very interested because he can see the benefits."
Zhao Hongyu recalled Samara¡¯s reaction and said to Wang Shan thoughtfully.
"I hope you can agree. Now our trade volume has shrunk. If it weren't for the support of the gold mine, we would be in trouble now."
Wang Shan has also read the financial statements sent by Zhang Tie, so he has a very good understanding of the current situation.
Zhao Hongyu nodded, with a helpless look on his face.
"There is nothing that can be done about it. There are so many people in the Mohican tribe. It is good to sell a few thousand iron pots. After all, there are only so many families. And their purchasing power has been almost exhausted. If not If we find a way for them to make money, our stuff won¡¯t be sold at all.¡±
What Wang Shan and Zhao Hongyu were talking about was the current situation of the Mohican tribe.
In more than a month, Zhao Hongyu has plundered almost all the fur resources in the Mohican tribe. Some Mohicans even exchanged the furs they used to build their tents for goods, leaving only a few wooden shelves at home.
Zhao Hongyu couldn¡¯t laugh or cry about this kind of ¡®shopaholic¡¯.
"Let's go find the black bear and ask him where the British camp is. We'd better leave right away and buy some black bears."
Now that there is a chance to be a landlord and become a landlord + slave owner, why is Zhao Hongyu not anxious?
He is also a person with dreams.
? Spring is warm and flowers are blooming, facing the sea, enjoying the sun every day. It's not like he has never dreamed of teasing the eldest maid at home when he has nothing to do.
And there is a saying that Zhao Hongyu has always kept in mind and deeply believed.
"Building your own happiness on the pain of others is the foundation of happiness."
(Author's statement: This is a fallacy. Please don't believe it, readers. The right path in the world is subject to vicissitudes of life, and we still have to be upright people.)
Afterwards, Zhao Hongyu and Wang Shan left the Mohican tribe and walked towards the gold mine deep in the forest.
At ten o¡¯clock in the afternoon, the white mist in the early morning has not dissipated and has been floating in the forest.
Coupled with the air temperature changes caused by the temperature difference, this makes the forest appear very humid.
The little squirrel squatted on the branch of a tree, looking at the strangers entering the forest. It tilted its head and stared with its big eyes, which was very cute.
Under the trunk of the tree, half of the plump prairie dog's head was exposed. After observing it for a long time, it finally got out of the hole when no danger was found.
After a winter of hibernation, the thin and deformed brown bear staggered and lurked. It needed to eat immediately to replenish its physical strength.
The American caribou are slowly looking for fresh spring moss, which is their favorite food.
The big long-eared rabbit also jumped quickly in the forest, looking for fresh and tender fungi.
Hedgehogs, foxes, coyotes, cougars, all kinds of animals that have experienced the long winter have left their burrows to start?Appear in the forest.

Woodpeckers shuttle between trees, using their sharp beaks to continuously tap the trunks to dig out small holes, and then take out and eat the white and tender insects hiding behind the trunks.
Some large American parrots with long tails and a wisp of red feathers on their heads sat on the branches with their eyes fixed on the ground. When it finds its prey, it begins a lightning-fast attack, then returns to its den and hands the prey to its babies.
Along the way, Zhao Hongyu was amazed at the rich resources in the forest.
¡°Not only the wood, but also the fungi here are a wealth.¡±
As Zhao Hongyu walked, he said ¡®Tsk! Tsk! Tsk! 'the sound of.
"Chief, these are green and pollution-free fungi. In the 21st century, they will cost at least tens or even hundreds of yuan. If the quality is higher, it might not cost you even a thousand yuan. .¡±
Wang Shan could not help but turn his neck and look around with gleaming eyes.
It was still winter last month, so there was nothing in the forest.
But now it¡¯s the spring season, and it¡¯s time for everything to come back to life.
And it has been raining for a few days, so some plants grow very quickly, adding a lot of vitality and green scenery to the monotonous forest.
