Chapter 1,496 Negotiating Price

The door of the room was opened, Gao Jianwu, Songtsen Gampo and Mohe Khan walked out of the room at the same time, followed by a group of kings behind them.

When Li Chongyi and others outside the courtyard saw them coming out, their expressions became serious.

Now they are dealing with what may be the largest transaction in history.

Li Chongyi said: "You have finally come out. We have been waiting for you for a long time. Are you still selling?"

Gao Jianwu said: "Sell, of course we will sell. Now as long as you give a price, as long as we think it is suitable, we will sell."

Shang Yi replied: "We have just seen it. All the goods add up to a total of eight million pounds."

“Hiss~~~”

Tang Jian on the side heard this and couldn't help but take a breath and said: "Eight...eight million strings, this kid is too cruel.

These goods are worth at least 50 to 60 million guan. If sold to other cities, they might be worth over 100 million guan. Now I want to buy them for 8 million guan. Is this possible?"

The corners of Sun Shunde's mouth were twitching, and it took him a while before he said, "Li Feng is already ruthless enough, but his disciples are even more ruthless than him."

Tang Jian nodded in agreement.

Li Chongyi, Shopkeeper Lu, Cui Wenshang and other businessmen were shocked when they heard the price. The price was too low.

Shopkeeper Lu pulled Shang Yi's sleeve and said softly: "My friend, this price is too low. People will think that we are not sincere."

Shang Yi said with a smile: "Don't businessmen just ask for high prices and pay back the money on the spot? Even if we offer 100 million yuan in one go, they won't think it's too much and want to increase it by 20%."

Shopkeeper Lu nodded in agreement and said: "It seems to be the case, then I'll leave it to you, little friend, don't let them ask for the price."

Shang nodded and said, "Don't worry, the price will definitely satisfy everyone."

The price of eight million instantly made Gao Jianwu and other kings angry.

King Gaochang suddenly said angrily: "You can tell us the price of eight million. If you don't want to buy it, just say so. Don't insult us with such a low price."

Gao Jianwu immediately stopped King Gaochang and said: "Don't get excited, let me handle this matter."

King Gaochang wanted to say something else, but seeing Gao Jianwu's ferocious expression, he sighed and said nothing more.

Gao Jianwu said to the kings behind him: "Everyone, let the three of us handle this matter. You wait for good news again. At most, we will not sell it."

The king of Dashi Kingdom nodded and said: "Okay, there is Prince Lao Gao. If it doesn't work, the worst we can do is not sell it."

"Yes, not for sale."

"Not for sale."

…

For a time, the kings were very excited. The price of eight million was really cheap. Even if they made some profit, they would never give up if they only made a small amount by sending it all the way.

It would be better to send it to Shuofang for sale, where the price will be much higher, and 30 million yuan can be sold casually.

Li Chongyi looked at the angry kings of hundreds of kingdoms and said with a smile: "Shang Yi, your price has made everyone excited. But why, am I very happy?"

Shopkeeper Lu followed up and said, "I'm also inexplicably very happy."

Shang Yi smiled and said, "Me too."

At this time, Gao Jianwu calmed everyone down and looked at Shang Yi and others with a livid face.

After a moment, Gao Jianwu said slowly: "This batch of our goods are all high-quality goods, and they are all goods carefully selected by our kings.

If it is sold in the market, the maximum amount can exceed 100 million yuan, and the minimum amount can be 70 to 80 million yuan.

Now that you are offering eight million dollars, this not only denies our batch of goods, but also denies the efforts of all of us, and further tarnishes the credibility of you Datang merchants.

So I hope you will reconsider the price, otherwise we would rather not sell it."

Shang Yi smiled and said: "Although the price of eight million is low, you can still make a profit. And the reason why I bid so low is because I know your cost price.

Take Gaochang as an example. Although your cotton and white cloth are good, we also have them in Datang. The only selling point is that your cotton has the characteristics of the Western Regions, which is liked by many dignitaries in Datang.

If possible, my master can create more beautiful patterns and even better cotton cloth at any time, so that your Gaochangguo cotton and white cloth business cannot continue.

So when we buy these goods, we also take risks.

And those jade stones were a specialty of the Pyu State (now Myanmar), but it was inconvenient to quarry and transport the stones, so the price increased tenfold or even a hundredfold.

There is also an element of gambling in it. We may not make a profit after buying it. In addition, even if the price of stone cutting increases, we still need to build, carve, etc., and you will not care about these costs.

Businessmen in the past didn't understand, that was their business, but now I understand, of course I can't let you make this kind of money.

As for the rest, I won’t go into details one by one. If you think the price of eight million is unfair, we can add another two million as shipping fee for everyone.

You have worked so hard to transport the goods to the Tang Dynasty all the way, so it is reasonable to give you two million yuan."

Li Chongyi said: "Shang Yi, you are very righteous. One export costs two million dollars in freight. I don't think anyone dares to say that the merchants of Datang have no integrity."

Shang Yi secretly gave him a thumbs up for Li Chongyi's amazing assists.

Gao Jianwu's face was still gloomy and he said slowly: "It's not enough, we have to add more."

"What's the reason?" Shang Yi asked.

Gao Jianwu said: "This batch of goods is a collection of all the specialties of kings from hundreds of countries. If we sell them outside, we can easily sell 80 million guan. Do you think 10 million guan is possible?"

"Indeed, if the same thing is sold, it can really sell for a high price. Even if it is not 80 million guan, there should be 60 million guan.

However, you may need to sell it for a year or two. If you are willing to wait that long, we don't need to sit here.

Seeing that you are also working hard, I will give you five million more."

"It's still too little. Even if we mortgage these goods to the bank, we will still have at least 20 million yuan." Gao Jianwu said.

Shang Yi thought for a while and said: "You are right, the mortgage bank can definitely have 20 million yuan, but you don't have it.

So we don’t have to beat around the bush. As the saying goes, if you ask for a high price, you’ll pay it back on the spot. If you don’t agree with the price I offer, why don’t you come up with it? As long as we think it’s reasonable, we’ll make the deal.”

"Sixty million guan." Gao Jianwu said, "You can still earn 20 million guan, or even more."

Shang Yi shook his head and said: "Thirty million guan. This is our limit."

"Thirty million guan is too low, 55 million guan." Gao Jianwu said, "This price is low enough."
