- For the Ottoman Empire and for myself.
We must have a good relationship with the young man in charge of foreign trade in the Song Empire.
Why is there such a mentality?
Actually, this problem is easy to explain.
Amortolan would have such thoughts, but he actually had selfish motives.
Since he traveled thousands of miles and endured hardships to come to the Song Empire, in addition to serving his motherland, he also had to find a way to benefit himself.
This is human nature and inevitable.
If the Ottoman Empire wanted to reach the Americas, it had to pass through the Mediterranean Sea.
However, the Mediterranean is controlled by European countries.
Whether it can be passed or not depends on the attitude of European countries.
Now, they are taking advantage of the frequent wars in European countries and have no time to take into account the gap in the Mediterranean.
They finally came to America, the country of legendary wealth.
With this opportunity, why don¡¯t Amor make good use of it and seek some benefits for himself.
European merchants in the Arab world have made a lot of money from the many products of the American Song Empire, and Amortolan is very jealous.
It¡¯s just that he didn¡¯t have this opportunity at the time.
"Sit down!" Zhang Tie led Amor Tolan into the office, while his guarding warriors were left outside. "Serve tea, serve good tea."
Zhang Tie sat behind the desk in the office and gave an order.
In fact, some matters related to foreign trade no longer require his personal involvement or management.
But this time it is completely different, because the traders he wants to target represent a country.
Thinking about it, the trade volume this time must be very huge.
Therefore, for such a large amount of trade, he will definitely need to do it himself.
"Leave it to the subordinates below to do it. Firstly, they are worried that it will not be done well. Secondly, Amortolan will think that they are rude."
No matter what, this fat man from the Ottoman Empire also came to America on behalf of his motherland.
Black Bear followed Zhang Tie and walked in, so there were three people in the office.
The reason why he followed Zhang Tie was actually to learn something.
Because Zhang Tie has taken Black Bear to study with him recently, in order to train him so that he can take on some management tasks.
After all, the black bear represents the Indians. If he is always left doing nothing at home, some people will think that they are deliberately neglecting and excluding the Indians.
If someone takes advantage of this, it will be very troublesome.
According to intelligence, the European church sent another group of priests to Manhattan in the Americas.
This group of priests learned from the experience of the previous two failures.
They lurked in Manhattan and were not in a hurry to preach or do anything.
Instead, they disguised themselves and began to go deep into the people of the empire to observe the food and folk customs of the empire.
Zhang Tie knew that these people were looking for opportunities.
Once they find an opportunity, these guys will definitely do something.
Therefore, you must take precautions before they happen.
But the problem is, these guys who have become smarter, because they hide their identities, it is difficult for the imperial intelligence department to keep track of their whereabouts.
This makes things a little troublesome.
Therefore, Zhang Tie must make up for all the things that the other party can take advantage of.
??First of all, it is the matter of Indians entering government departments and connecting them to the empire.
Zhang Tie did this and was welcomed by the Indians.
In addition to black bears, there are also many young Indians who have also begun studying in civil service schools.
As long as they graduate, Zhang Tie will dispatch all these Indian colleges to the public security department.
Let them and the Indian genetic man Asan contribute to the security of Manhattan together.
As for what happens in Quebec and Ontario, Zhang Tie has no control over it.
But he still informed the two cities about the matter.
After all, each of them has their own style.
Nowadays, they are developing a city according to their own style.
The style and geographical environment here may not necessarily apply to other cities.
Zhang Tie still understands this truth.
Now, he is determined to let Black Bear take up the post of Ministry of Foreign Trade and manage the dock and port affairs for him.
To this, Black Bear also agreed.
Therefore, apart from going to school every day, Black Bear follows Zhang Tie and learns how to carry out foreign trade.
Poor Black Bear is so young (38 years old) and still has to learn some knowledge that gives him a headache.
However, when he thinks that his daughter is the queen of the Indians and the wife of the imperial crown prince, as a father and a high-level Indian, he must set a good example.
I have to say that Black Bear¡¯s consciousness is still very high.
Black Bear sat on the single sofa next to Amor. Anyway, the office was very big and there were three single sofas.
In addition to working, the office can also receive guests.
When it was originally designed, this was how it was designed.
"Bring me a pot of milk tea, thank you."
Black Bear also said something to the secretary in the office.
Now here in Manhattan, milk and black tea are also popular.
Many Europeans and Indians like this drink very much.
Except for genetic people.
Zhao Hongyu came up with this drinking method in order to fool Europeans. Unexpectedly, it has now become popular in Manhattan.
So, even the black bear became accustomed to drinking one or two pots of milk tea every day to have a taste.
After the secretary responded, he left the office to prepare.
¡°As a result, there were only three of them left in the office.
"Mr. Amortolan, I would like to know how much food your home country, the Ottoman Empire, plans to transport from us every month?"
Now that Zhang Tie has figured out the purpose of the other party's visit, he doesn't intend to beat around the bush.
He directly picked up the topic and asked.
Zhang Tie¡¯s approach played right into Amor¡¯s wishes.
He also hopes to be straightforward and settle matters directly, and then he can think about his own affairs.
"The amount of food we need is huge. Within half a year we hope to transport about 300,000 bags of food from the empire to alleviate our domestic food crisis."
After hearing this, Zhang Tie nodded.
Indeed, the other party¡¯s needs are indeed huge.
It seems that Chen Zhenbang¡¯s brother-in-law in the virtual world has something to do again.
Originally, he was making black-hearted cans, but now he has a large amount of garbage rice. It seems that this guy is going to make a lot of money.
"However, he should make this little money. Anyway, it was a disaster for the Europeans and the Ottoman Empire in the 17th century. As long as the Chinese don't eat it, it's fine, right?"
Zhang Tie looked at Amortolan¡¯s fat face seriously: ¡°The current price of a bag of rice is thirteen Ottoman gold coins, and the price of corn is the same. Can you accept this price?¡±
The empire can fully satisfy the amount of food the other party needs.
So, Zhang Tie told the current price to see if the other party could accept it.
¡°We only need rice, not corn.¡± Amortolan quickly replied.
¡°Oh, it turns out we only need rice, but what about flour?¡± Zhang Tie asked again.
You know, there are still a lot of junk flour in the empire, and these can also be sold to each other.
Anyway, based on the other party¡¯s understanding, there is no way he can eat it.
¡°Because half of it contains talcum powderthat cheating brother-in-law Chen Zhenbang.
Wow, are there still flour supplies?
Amortolan¡¯s eyes lit up.
Of course he hopes to buy flour, because the Ottoman Empire also has a great demand for flour.
Since the other party has flour here, why not buy it yourself.
And the price of food here is really not expensive, it is several times cheaper than buying the food sold by European merchants.
¡°How much does flour cost?¡±
"Eighteen Ottoman gold coins, I think this price is acceptable to you."
Zhang Tie quoted a price that was really not very expensive.
You know, since the war started in Europe, food prices have been soaring.
Together with it,It has also affected food prices in North Africa and Arabia, which have also been rising. Now they are twenty times higher than last year.
Of course, prices will rise in the Americas, but the price increases are not so sinister.
?That is, it has tripled compared to last year.
To be honest, this price is already a very conscientious price.
Therefore, when Amortolan heard the price, he immediately ordered 200,000 bags of flour on the spot.
Three hundred thousand bags of rice, plus two hundred thousand bags of flour, that¡¯s five hundred thousand bags.
With so much grain, the other party wanted to transport it away within half a year. Zhang Tie thought about it and it seemed unrealistic.
In front of the Ottoman Empire, there were many difficulties to be solved.
First of all, do they have so many cargo ships to transport goods for them?
Even though there are so many cargo ships, they have to pass through the Mediterranean.
And can the European countries that control the Mediterranean be able to let them pass smoothly?
Thinking of this, Zhang Tie couldn't help but ask Amor Tolan his own questions that puzzled him.
Hearing this, Amortolan smiled, raised his hand and wiped his plump face, and then replied: "Well, we have also considered this issue, so in order to avoid having to worry about it when passing through the Mediterranean Sea, What kind of trouble is that, so we reached an agreement with Portugal and France so that they can escort us when we pass through the Mediterranean."
"But where did you get so many sea ships?"
Zhang Tiedao.
"We have hired a lot of Arab merchants. Although their ships are not very good, they should be able to sail across the ocean. The oceans have been occupied by Europeans for more than a hundred years. Now is an opportunity. I Arab businessmen will not miss this opportunity."
It turns out that Amortolan had already solved this problem before coming to America.
Zhang Tie thought for a while, and he felt that with the shipbuilding technology of the Arabs, it seemed impossible to build a ship that could sail across the ocean.
Otherwise, how can it be Europeans in history.
However, since the other party said this, it is not easy for me to continue to ask questions.
Therefore, this puzzling question can only be answered after the opponent's Yunshun fleet arrives in America.
In fact, Zhang Tie had no idea that the history of this world had begun to go awry.
His Highness in the East has already encountered ninjas, and those ninjas have undergone some changes.
Not to mention that he will encounter Arabian Sea ships with ocean-going capabilities.
"Well, now that you have solved the problem, I don't have anything to ask. Our trading rules are to pay the money and deliver the goods. Every time you load the goods on the ship, our record keeping staff will list Come out with a list of dependencies, and then you just pay us. When the food is shipped out, our contract will be void."
Amor has no objection to this kind of transaction.
He just thought about it and said to Zhang Tiedao: "Our team has no objection to this trading method. It's just that we will have a lot of merchant ships coming here by then, but there are too few berths at the port here. Now we can enter We have to wait in line for several days to arrive at the port, which will waste our time."
Yes, there is no problem on Zhang Tie's side, but there is a little problem on Amor's side.
After hearing this, Zhang Tie explained to Amor: "I know this problem, but we are already solving it." Zhang Tie opened his drawer and took out a cigar from Central America. cigarette, then walked over and handed it to Amor.
Amor had never seen such a thing, but he did not refuse Zhang Tie.
He also knew that this was a sign of goodwill from the other party.
Zhang Tie helped Amor light the cigar and taught him how to smoke it before sitting across from him.
The big fat man Amor Tolan took a deep breath as Zhang Tie said.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
Because I wasn¡¯t used to it, I choked immediately.
"No, I'm not used to this stuff. It seems I can't enjoy it anymore."
Zhang Tie shrugged his shoulders, took the cigar and put it out.
The other party was really not blessed to enjoy these good things. He despised the fat man in his heart.
Immediately, Zhang Tie opened his eyes andSaid: "Our port expansion has not stopped, and in half a month we will have 50 berths available for use. This will increase the number of berths at the terminal. I think it can be arranged. You are here to transport food ships.¡±
Yes, since Zhao Hongyu left Manhattan, the docks in Manhattan have been under construction.
Regarding the booming commercial trade in Manhattan, these senior officials have long expected it.
And Manhattan¡¯s commercial trade is booming, which will definitely attract a large number of ships to come here.
This is inevitable.
If there is not a large port for trading ships to dock, then the trade development of Manhattan will be impossible.
Therefore, if you want Manhattan's trade and city to develop, you need to build a large port.
"Oh, if that's the case, then I'm relieved. Then I want to talk about another thing, which is also business-related and personal"
At this time, Amor Tolan's fat face glowed with luster when he mentioned this matter, making him look even brighter. (To be continued.
