There were no twists and turns in the transaction process. For Jin Yongtai and the others, selling the goods in hand earlier was the happiest thing for them.
What's more, although it is not as much as expected, it is less than a thousand taels of silver. But the final transaction price still made Jin Yongtai very satisfied.
After all, if the goods in his hand were transported to the Ming Dynasty for sale, he would earn at least two thousand taels less. So King Charles gave the price of 11,500 taels of silver. Although Jin Yongtai didn't say anything, he was actually extremely satisfied in his heart.
Who knows that he is not so well-informed that he doesn¡¯t even know that the owner of Jiuzhou has changed.
Originally, he planned to do business with the Japanese, but unexpectedly when he came to Nagasaki, he suddenly discovered that Kyushu had been ceded to the Japanese, and the new owner became a member of the Song Empire.
¡°Then he can¡¯t come in vain. You must know that hiring a ship costs a lot. At the same time, when he goes to the sea from Goryeo to Nagasaki in Kyushu, he still has to bear some risks at sea.
In this era, the sea in the East is not so calm. Although there are giants like Li Xiang and Zheng Zhilong in control, there are also some small-time pirates in private.
¡°If he met such a guy on the road, Jin Yongtai wouldn¡¯t even have time to cry.
But the problem is, in order to make money, you can't always look forward and backward. Otherwise, you might as well stay at home and do nothing else.
But at least, you have to make enough money from this batch of goods, otherwise you will be sorry for the risk you have taken.
It was precisely with the support of such an idea that Jin Yongtai took Zhao Zhenchang to abandon the Ming Dynasty and came to Nagasaki in Kyushu.
You know, if you go to Daming, the risk will be reduced by at least about half.
¡°But taking some risks and earning an extra two thousand taels of silver is worth it in Jin Yongtai¡¯s opinion.
Who makes the purchasing power of silver in this era very strong?
King Charles made the payment very happily. Eleven thousand pieces of Dalongyang weighing one or two pounds were packed in two heavy wooden boxes and moved to Jin Yongtai's merchant ship.
King Charles despised the Korean merchant ships that were somewhat similar to Ming-style ships, but were much smaller.
Jin Yongtai went in to check the amount of silver, while he chatted with King Charles at the dock. Because I had a doctor see me when I returned in the morning and used ointment, the pain in Jin Yongtai's lower body has eased a lot now, and it is no longer as uncomfortable as it was in the morning.
Therefore, when King Charles saw Jin Yongtai's face, he was obviously much more relaxed than when he saw him in the morning.
¡°If you have goods like this in the future, just send them directly to Nagasaki. As much as you want, the price is easily negotiable.¡± King Charles said to Jin Yongtai.
And when Jin Yongtai heard what King Charles said, he was of course very happy. "Thank you very much. I hope our cooperation can last for a long time. I also hope to do this business for a long time. Although it is much more convenient to go from Korea to the Ming Dynasty, the merchants in the Ming Dynasty lower the prices too hard, and they often go through the government And unite all the businessmen to lower the price, so of course I hope to come here in Nagasaki, who doesn¡¯t want to make more money.¡±
When King Charles finished speaking, Jin Yongtai said a lot.
King Charlie heard a lot of useful information from Jin Yongtai's words, that is, the price of selling goods to Nagasaki is higher than trafficking to Daming, but this news is of little use to King Charles.
The Empire now occupies Kyushu, and Kyushu borders Japan¡¯s main state and Shikoku. It can be said that with the favorable geographical location, the Empire¡¯s products from Kyushu can be easily trafficked there to make huge profits, whether openly or smuggled.
Therefore, the news revealed in Jin Yongtai¡¯s words is really of no use at all.
Second, there is another layer of information in Jin Yongtai's words, that is, if foreigners go there to do business, there is a high possibility that they will be squeezed by local businessmen with strong backgrounds. Those who basically have imperial backgrounds as backers , even businessmen who have officials in their families will collude with the government and other colleagues to eat up the goods of foreign merchants, and will also keep the prices extremely low.
In other words, it was not easy for foreign businessmen to do business in the territory of the Ming Dynasty in this era.
After guessing such a fact, King Charles sighed in his heart.
In his impression, in his previous world, countless foreign businessmen liked to do business, because the Chinese system was too generous for foreign businessmen.
On the contrary, local businessesMembers will be forced to do so by foreign businessmen.
Comparing the two, King Charles felt that the businessmen of this era were still happy.
Of course, when King Charles said these happy merchants, he was referring to the merchants of the Ming Empire.
Because only in this era can the Chinese merchants overwhelm the foreign merchants and make them miserable.
¡°This is something completely unimaginable in the modern world.
In this era, there is no such thing as a foreign master.
For the Ming people of this era, only they are the best, and everyone else is just a barbarian This situation lasted until the Opium War, and the dynasty began to change.
I really envy them, but since we followed His Royal Highness into this world, we should leave the matter of squeezing these bumpkins to us.
King Charles thought to himself, but he looked at Jin Yongtai with a look of surprise on his face and said: "Oh, will the businessmen in the Ming Dynasty use such despicable methods? And I I heard that the Ming Dynasty was a land of etiquette? Moreover, our ancestors once lived in this land. My father once said that the people here know etiquette very well and should not do it. Did something like this happen?"
King Charles is obviously just pretending, but in fact he doesn¡¯t understand anything.
He was actually very clear about the way Ming Dynasty people looked at foreigners in neighboring countries in this era.
It¡¯s just that in front of Jin Yongtai, he was just pretending to be confused.
Seeing King Charles ask about this matter, Jin Yongtai started to complain.
Anyway, now that his goods have been sold, a piece of his heart has been settled, so Jin Yongtai is still in a good mood.
¡°Especially after having some contact with King Charles, he also felt that King Charles could be not bad.
Therefore, Jin Yongtai said to King Charles: "Those people in the Ming Empire always think that they are people from the heavenly kingdom, so they have always looked down on these people in our neighboring countries from the bottom of their hearts. It's just that they don't say it, But who among us doesn¡¯t know¡¡±
"Nonsense, you still want people in the Ming Empire to think highly of you just because of your sticks?"
You have nothing to offer. Even if you are invaded by the Japanese, you have to rely on the Ming Dynasty to protect your territory. How can you let others think highly of you?
¡°Don¡¯t say you are from the Ming Dynasty, even I look down on you.
Listening to Jin Yongtai¡¯s complaints, King Charlie also despised him in his heart.
It¡¯s just that the expressions on King Charlie¡¯s face matched well, so Jin Yongtai didn¡¯t know that the guy standing in front of him actually belonged to the type of people who looked down on them.
"You don't know, we Korean merchants went to the Ming Dynasty and were treated very unfairly. Their local merchants have very broad connections. Usually if they take a fancy to our products, they will get in touch with the government. People and other businessmen collude and join forces to exploit us."
When Jin Yongtai talked about things in the Ming Dynasty, a look of love and hate appeared on his face.
"It's a pity that we have no power over there and can't compete with them at all. Under normal circumstances, we can only knock out our front teeth and swallow them in our stomachs to endure this breath, otherwise what else can we do."
What a shame!
Jin Yongtai is really feeling sad now.
"However, although we small businessmen have lost money, we, Korea, have been able to take advantage of it. So when we think about it this way, we feel much better." Kim Yongtai's words made King Charles very happy. It's curiosity.
He doesn¡¯t know what Jin Yongtai means?
According to him, this is definitely a loss.
But how could Koryo still take advantage? This is really confusing.
Therefore, King Charles could not restrain his curiosity and asked.
"Oh, how do you say this?" King Charles asked curiously.
King Charlie¡¯s curious look satisfied Jin Yongtai¡¯s little vanity.
"Hey, this matter is actually very simple. The Ming Dynasty regarded itself as the heavenly dynasty and was very face-saving. So our monarch would send envoys to pay tribute every year and bring many, many gifts. So we took advantage of it. That¡¯s it.¡±
Jin Yongtai¡¯s words made King Charles even more confused.
I¡¯ll wipe it!
This can be considered an advantage.Isn't it?
Is this guy¡¯s brain filled with water? How is that possible?
King Charlie couldn¡¯t understand this matter, so he could only wait for Jin Yongtai to continue explaining.
"The reason is actually very simple, because the Ming Dynasty regards itself as the heavenly dynasty, while our country regards itself as an overseas vassal. Therefore, every time the tribute is brought, the Ming Dynasty will return double the gift for the sake of face. Wouldn¡¯t our country make a profit during this time?¡±
When Jin Yongtai talked about this matter, he looked very proud, as if he had taken advantage.
I¡¯m going!
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? did not do anything to save face and suffer the consequences. I didn't expect that there would be such weird things in the Ming Dynasty.
This is the Ming Dynasty. If it were placed with our Song Empire, we would not return double the gift you brought. Only a fool would do such a thing.
King Charlie¡¯s mouth twitched, feeling that the brains of those in the Ming Dynasty seemed to have been squeezed by the door, as if they were mentally retarded (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
