Chapter 446 Are you teaching this official to do things?
If it were one or two pieces, Xiong Ting could still make the decision, but with such a large quantity and the fact that he was facing a foreign country, he didn't dare to make the decision without authorization.
He clearly remembered Xiong Shi's instructions to him, and although Mr. Han didn't say it explicitly, there was a hint in his words that there was a deeper meaning to this deal.
Xiong Ting, who did not dare to make decisions without permission, refused the envoys one by one and went to the backyard to find Han Du.
"Sir, this is the situation. Please tell me whether you want to sell it to them or not." Xiong Ting bowed and stood on Han Du's right hand side.
Han Du tapped his fingers on the table in front of him. He looked up at Xiong Ting and said, "Sell it, why not sell it? As long as they follow the rules, we will sell it to them. But as for the price, let's pay it first.
Double."
"Double?" Xiong Ting was shocked, "Sir, is this price too high? Will they agree to it?"
The mirror was already expensive enough. Now that the price is doubled, Xiong Ting is afraid that no one will buy it. After all, those envoys from foreign countries are not fools. If Mingjingzhai is sold to the Ming Dynasty, it will cost the same price, but if it is sold to them, it will be another price.
It's a different price. They definitely won't be willing to be so slaughtered by Han Du. If a fight breaks out, it may not end well.
Han Du didn't care about this. He glanced at Xiong Ting lightly and said, "What do you know? If they take these mirrors back, they will make ten times the profit at least. If we sell them to them at the original price, wouldn't we suffer a big loss? Don't worry.
Well, even if the price is doubled, they will still agree."
Xiong Ting conveyed Han Du's intention to the envoys from various countries, and all the envoys were instantly upset.
"Why? Your shop sells it to the common people for 50 guan, why does it cost 100 guan to sell it to me?"
"That's it, am I going to come all the way to pay homage to the Ming Dynasty and still be humiliated like this?"
"No, no, we demand to see the emperor and ask the emperor to make the decision."
...
Xiong Ting was originally just a small clerk. Although he helped Han Du manage Mingjingzhai, he was essentially just an ordinary citizen of inferior rank. Faced with the envoys clamoring for the emperor to make decisions for them, he was naturally frightened.
Drenched in cold sweat, helpless.
"What are you doing, noisily?"
Just when Xiong Ting was losing ground, a steady voice came from the Mirror Room.
Han Du walked out with a gloomy face.
When Xiong Ting saw Han Duxi coming, he felt as if he had seen a savior. He quickly stepped forward and said softly: "Sir..."
"I'll take care of it here. You can go in and do your business first."
After whispering back, Xiong Ting left as if running away.
Han Du looked at the people in different costumes in front of him with a cold expression, showing no intention of giving in. You people are going back to make a fortune with a mirror, and you want to leave even a little bit of money to me. You have been doing it for most of the day.
What daydream?
"Master Han, you are fine."
Han Du looked over when he heard the sound, suddenly laughed, and said: "Who do you think I am, who is so bold that you want to go to the emperor to accuse me of this? It turns out to be you, Mr. Wang?"
The person who greeted Han Du was none other than Mr. Wang, the Korean envoy.
When Mr. Wang heard this, his expression suddenly changed, he waved his hands repeatedly and said, "I misunderstood, I misunderstood, Mr. Han. Those words just now were not what I said. I never said a word from the beginning to the end."
Originally, when Han Du came out, although his tone was very strong, everyone saw that he was only a first- and sixth-grade official, so they didn't take it to heart.
But seeing the Korean envoy's attitude towards Han Du, everyone looked at each other and their hearts couldn't help but sink.
"Are you the head of Mingjingzhai?"
A messenger with a strange accent suddenly interrupted.
Han Du glanced at him, his thick beard made Han Du couldn't help but frown. Instead of answering him, he asked: "Who are you?"
"This envoy is the envoy of the Western Chagatai Khanate, Shahakht. Since your Mingjingzhai is doing business, you should treat us all as distinguished guests. What price did you sell to the Ming Dynasty?
, you should sell it to us at what price.”
Seeing the tit-for-tat confrontation between Han Du and Han Du, all the envoys shut their mouths and prepared to wait and see what would happen. Especially the envoys from Korea, Ryukyu and Siam stepped aside. For fear of being misunderstood by Han Du, they and this barbarian
It's a group.
Hearing this, Han Du ignored Gao Li and other envoys. He laughed at Shahakht and said, "Are you teaching me how to do things?"
"Huh? What do you mean?" Shahakht said in a bad tone, looking like he was about to get angry.
Handu didn't care whether Shahakht was angry or not. He raised his head and glanced at the envoys. He said in a deep voice: "Don't think that I don't know. If you take these mirrors back, you can make at least ten times the profit."
.I just raised the price a little, and didn’t ask for more at all. If you all still have objections, then I will increase the price five times. Do you believe it?"
Han Du didn't care how ugly the faces of these envoys became. Anyway, the Ming Dynasty was at its peak. All the countries around it were younger brothers. Moreover, the market potential of the Ming Dynasty itself was large enough. For so long, even the internal demand of the Ming Dynasty was still there.
Not satisfied yet.
Han Du doesn't care whether these people buy it or not.
Han Du's domineering attitude fell into the eyes of the envoys, and the expressions of all the envoys immediately changed. Especially Shahakht, who shouted angrily, "This envoy wants to see the emperor, I will investigate
The Gatai Khanate thought that the Ming Dynasty was a state of etiquette, but they did not expect to be so insulted. If the emperor does not give me an explanation for the Western Chagatai Khanate, this envoy will definitely not accept it. Let’s go!!!”
The matter broke up unhappily, and the other envoys had no friendship or conversation with Han Du, so they left with Shahakht, leaving only the envoys from Korea, Ryukyu and Siam.
Han Du looked at the leaving envoy and laughed contemptuously. When he turned around and saw the three of them still here, he asked with a smile: "What? Why don't you go with them to file a complaint against me in front of the emperor?"
"Master Han misunderstood, we are noble gentlemen, how could we do such a mean thing?" Master Wang gave a flattering smile and defended.
The main reason is that the three of them know that even if they go to the emperor to complain to Han Du, it will have no effect other than offending Han Du to death. They are not the envoys who left, and they don't know Han Du at all.
They were surprised when Han Du was able to bypass the Ministry of Rites and negotiate with them as the chief official about the treasure banknotes. Even the Ministry of Rites did not dare to make independent decisions, but Han Du could make decisions with just one word. What does this mean?
At least it represents Han Dushen’s trust in the emperor!
