"I see! It seems you're really short of stock! In principle, it's impossible to ship the goods over smoothly.
After all, you need a huge quantity, and too little supply is simply a drop in the bucket.
Large quantities must be purchased, and all workshops must be put into full production.
This is the only way to meet your needs.
But the cost is actually too high.
How about this, double the previous price.
Even if it's a little difficult, I will help you.
Although we often fight among ourselves, our people are innocent. How can we just watch them die?"
The price Wang Ye said was exorbitant. If I hadn't heard the price, I would have thought Wang Ye was thinking about their family.
The price doubled and almost made them furious.
The price of Dayuan's goods has already reached more than ten times the cost, which is already considered a sky-high price.
It would have been fine if the two countries had not communicated and understood each other in the past.
Anyway, things are valuable because they are rare. It is normal that the prices of things of the barbarians are high.
However, as more and more spies were sent to Dayuan, their mentality collapsed after they learned about the prices.
This is completely taking advantage of them.
The goods sold here are at least ten times more valuable. Of course, the roads were difficult to travel before, so they had to be transported over long distances. The transporters had to pay for their food, drink, toilet and accommodation.
This has led to a rapid increase in costs.
But I haven't found anything so exaggerated.
After selling it to them, there is still half of the profit, which is at least 10 times more than the cost.
Now it is going to double again, which means it has reached a sky-high price of more than forty times.
Such a high price is simply outrageous.
"If the price is set so high, I'm afraid we won't be able to afford it even if we sell all our cattle and sheep.
I might as well be hanged here."
The barbarian envoy was also annoyed and started to cheat on the spot.
"This price is too outrageous. We can't accept it! If we herdsmen can't survive, we'll have no choice but to go to war!"
"Let's all unite and see who can gain the upper hand!"
All the envoys were united and resolutely refused to agree to this condition.
Ye smiled and said, "You two are too irritable. Aren't we negotiating?
If you don't want to accept it, then tell me what price you can afford.
If the deal doesn't go through, why bother trying to find a way to survive?"
He was confident of victory and was not in a hurry at all.
"At most, add 10%. The price is too high and we can't afford it!"
"No, you have to increase it by at least 30%, or you have to wait a few more months."
"At most, you've increased the price by 20%. The price has already increased by more than ten times just by shipping the goods here. A 20% increase would be equivalent to several times more."
"You can't say that. Although the road is easier to travel on, it's not cheap to build it." Ye refused to give in.
After an intense discussion, they finally decided to increase the price by 20%.
Then compensate with 100 war horses.
Finally, we reached a consensus.
Ye made a lot of money.
All the goods shipped in were piled up in the village.
After all, the freight is higher than the cost, and it is not cost-effective to ship it back.
I originally planned to consume it myself if I couldn't sell it.
Unexpectedly, I got an unexpected gain. I can make a lot of money by selling it at 20% higher price.
Earned more than ten thousand horses.
In the past, war horses of this level could not be bought with money. They were considered strategic materials and were strictly controlled.
If we had obtained so many horses at that time, all the officials in the court would have been extremely excited.
After the price was finalized, the envoys from various countries cautiously asked, "Your Highness, could you please ship the goods faster and send us a batch first to meet our needs?"
Ye smiled slightly and said, "It seems that your country is indeed in short supply of food and supplies.
This is fine, for the sake of us being old friends who have been together for so long.
I will allocate some of the goods I use at the border to you.
Let’s solve your urgent problems first.
The subsequent shipment will be delivered on time, so you can rest assured."
Ye knew long ago that they were waiting very anxiously. In fact, large quantities of goods take up a lot of space, and keeping them in the warehouse for a long time will also affect the quality.
It would be better to do you a favor and ship the goods out sooner.
After hearing what Wang Ye said, they were all very happy.
No matter whether what he said was true or false, as long as we could supply them with goods in time, the mission would be accomplished.
"Thank you so much, Your Highness. We will prepare the money right away!"
"I like to hear that. When we do business, we must always be trustworthy and deliver the goods when we pay.
If you want to receive the goods earlier, please send the money in advance and I will speed up the preparation of the goods."
"That's no problem, bring all the money over here right away!"
After the negotiation was completed, the envoys from various countries were overjoyed and hurried back to report the news.
Although the price is a bit higher, it finally solves the current economic crisis.
Although it costs a lot more to purchase goods, they don't mind too much.
After all, they had obtained enough iron and food to quickly expand the army.
When the time comes to invade Dayuan, capture a few cities and plunder them, you can get all your capital back.
All the silver was delivered that night.
Then ask them to supply them quickly.
They were not afraid that Ye would take the money and then go back on his word and not give them the goods.
After playing for such a long time, they already know Xiaoye's character very well.
As long as the price is agreed, we will pay attention to our reputation and supply them with goods on time.
This is completely trustworthy.
Ye did not disappoint them. As he had said before, he allocated a batch of supplies for them to take back to their homeland.
Tell them that the remaining supplies will definitely be delivered in half a month.
This way, they can have all their winter supplies ready.
No more worrying about heavy snow blocking the road.
Ye made a huge profit again, gaining a lot of silver and cattle and sheep.
Keep all these cattle and sheep, slaughter some for meat, and make clothes from their skins and wool.
After all, when winter comes, you must have enough winter clothes.
A portion was left for the people of the Zhou clan to support themselves.
Our own animal husbandry must also develop simultaneously and we cannot rely entirely on the enemy.
After the third prince suffered a great loss, he became much more honest.
No more trouble these days.
Make profits by selling grain and iron.
Under the control of the Wushuang, not much food was delivered to the other side.
He was also worried that the enemy country was too strong and he would lose control.
If you want them to be happy, you have to feed them, but not too full.
Life here in Ye is becoming more and more comfortable, with sufficient food and grass, and the construction of the city is going smoothly.
㱗Everyone had housing before the severe cold weather arrived.
Coal mining went very smoothly, and the house was warm even when the weather was cold.
Our lives are many times better than before.
We still insist on training every day to adapt to the winter combat environment.
We must make full preparations for a major counter-offensive tomorrow winter.
