After Old Prince Feng finished speaking, Li Mu and Wang Li had complicated expressions on their faces.
Xiyan envoy Fang Rui has finally seen Nan Yuan's true colors. He must be crazy about making money.
The prices of both seafood and fruits increased several times overnight. Although there was some profit from the contracting, it was not much.
Gu Shuo glanced at it coldly. Is it only produced in abundance in Nanyuan?
I have never seen such shameless people. They must have forgotten who gave them the seeds of the Dongti fruit.
Ye Qianning lowered his eyes slightly, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.
"Your Majesty, Prince Feng, you can't say that. Winter seafood is more difficult to transport than aquatic products. Bumps and bumps will affect sales. Seventy is too high." Li Mu looked unhappy.
The price had clearly been agreed upon, but Old Prince Feng raised it at the last minute. His words were like farts, leaving no one on guard.
Wang Li looked at the contract with a frown on his face.
Naturally, no one expected that Prince Feng would raise the price temporarily. Didn't that mean all the negotiations between the three countries in the past few days were in vain?
It was clearly agreed that the price of the fruit contract was half a percentage point higher than what Gu Shuo had contracted, but the price of winter fruit in the contract was several times higher. He was so cunning.
"Lord Li, you have all eaten the fruits of Nanyuan. They taste better than those in your country, and they ripen in winter. The price of winter fruits has always been high. What's more, I have only raised the price of winter fruits." Old Prince Feng was very confident because winter fruits were unique to Nanyuan.
Li Mu pondered and quickly calculated the core interests.
Some people from the Beili Chamber of Commerce were very unhappy when they heard what Prince Feng said. Nanyuan was making things difficult for them, and it was clear that he did not want to sign a contract with Beili.
Wang Li remained silent, with a gleam in his eyes. Winter harvests actually have the highest profit.
But the price that we had agreed upon before suddenly increased so much, which is really infuriating.
Old Prince Feng, Wang Li, and Li Mu were silent and winked at the housekeeper.
The housekeeper nodded and called out to the door, "Come here, bring up the last batch of fruits of this year for everyone to see."
As the voice fell, a servant came in with a fruit plate and placed it in front of everyone.
Winter grapes are pink in color, large in size, crystal clear and look very delicious. Sand apples are small and bright red in color. It is rare to eat them in June.
"Nanyuan has a long winter, and the fruit-bearing period is also long. Aquatic products grow in the summer, and melons and fruits grow in the winter. From May to June, the two can be shipped together, saving a lot of transportation costs." Old Prince Feng glanced around and said, "Everyone, be honest, isn't the price of winter prawns sold in various countries above five taels of silver? Do you think the seventy copper coins you contracted are too much?"
Everyone looked at the fresh fruit in front of them, and they all knew what was going on.
Apart from anything else, the price in the four countries when it was brought down in winter was indeed very high. Most of it was sent to the mansions of major royal relatives and nobles, with a profit of seventy copper coins.
But Gu Shuo only earned a dozen copper coins when he contracted the winter harvest. The gap was too big.
"If you truly do not wish to sign a contract, I will not force you. Winter tartary vines are scarce and cannot meet the needs of several countries. I believe that those who enjoy winter tartary vines will come to Nanyuan to buy them." Old Prince Feng acted as if he was selling his own produce. "Let's cancel the fruit contract. Let's first sign the seafood contract."
Li Mu subconsciously looked at Wang Li.
Wang Li also happened to look at Li Mu.
Their eyes met, each afraid that the other would take it all for himself, and there was a brief silence.
"The fruit and vegetable contract will be signed by Beili." Li Mu spoke first.
"Dongyi also signed." Wang Li was unwilling to fall behind.
