It's just that the pepper costs three taels per catty, the peppercorns cost two taels per catty, and the cloves cost one tael per catty. The prices are really not low. And these are friendly prices.
She brought two thousand taels of silver over, which was all used to buy pepper, which could only buy a few hundred kilograms. She just packed a few sacks and that was it. She also brought three boats, including her own boat, and the four boats had to be empty.
?
Besides, my uncle has a lot of cloth that I want to buy.
Huo Xi ran to the pile of fabrics to look through the fabrics, and glanced at Nok after reading them.
She suspected that these foreigners had done their homework before coming and had a clear understanding of the prices in this country.
Let's talk about this green cloth. She bought the white cotton cloth from the weaver in the countryside. Each piece cost four coins. She sent it to the dye house to dye it into green cloth. Each piece cost between seventy-five and one hundred cents.
This adds up to the cost of a piece of green cloth, which is almost five yuan.
The cloth of this dynasty is three feet long. A piece of Javanese green cloth costs one or two five cents. One piece of cloth is equivalent to ten feet of this dynasty. After all, the price is the same.
Of course, the costs in Java are still low. There are tariffs, and based on the doubled profits from sea trade, their costs are much lower than ours.
But Huo Xi had to buy it back for one to two and a half cents, buy white cotton cloth from the locals, and then send it to the dye house to dye it into green cloth. The cost was the same, so why did she go to the trouble of buying several ships of green cloth to transport it back?
Put it in a shop and say it is a rare item. Can you sell it at double the price? Can you sell it?
Huo Xi went to look at the other pieces of cloth he had brought.
Flower cloth should be used as a cage, not red cloth. It only costs one liang per piece, dark flower cloth is 1 liang and five qian, and floral felt is 1 liang per strip. Niangle, the flower felt can’t be bought.
Large floral handkerchiefs and silk handkerchiefs come in two ounces each, and small flower handkerchiefs cost one ounce each. They are quite beautiful, with exotic patterns. Many women will like them when they are brought back to the capital.
"Uncle, pick some hand towels."
"good."
There are also some precious jewelry, pearls not much bigger than a grain of rice, one or two weights are sold for five taels of silver, coral branches are sold for thirty fifty taels per catty, ambergris is sold for two, and one or two weights are sold for five taels of silver.
Whether the price is expensive or not, Huo Xi doesn't know very well.
That year in Huai'an, the young master who pressed her head and made sworn vows to her had a fist-sized piece in his hand that cost tens of thousands of taels. It is estimated that the bigger the thing, the more expensive it will be.
Gong Ziyi said that someone in the previous dynasty exchanged ten kilograms and three taels of spices for the position of county governor. It seems that this thing is very valuable.
When he moved his eyes away, he saw the noble young master of the Mu family picking up jewels and corals with great interest.
In front of me were tortoiseshell boxes, shell boxes, lacquer boxes, and so on. I picked out a lot of them. I also picked out a big bucket of suhesun oil, which cost three taels of silver per catty.
There are also ebony and red sandalwood, which are sold by the pound. One pound is sold for half a tael and one tael of silver, and a small section can weigh dozens of pounds. Look at him, as if he is trying to wrap other people's wood into a round shape.
Gee, so rich.
Huo Xi saw that the young master didn't even look at the green hair, so he couldn't help but look over.
The colors are quite nice, and they are sold by the pound, and they only cost five yuan per pound. If I could pick some of them, they would be very nice to make velvet flowers and round fans for the ladies in Qionghua Lane, so I picked up a few.
Mu Yan glanced sideways at her, wondering what she was doing picking at the hair of these beasts.
"Xi'er, let's buy some cloth?" Yang Fulai came to discuss with her.
Huo Xi nodded: "I'm just thinking about it. I don't know what price it should be sold for when it's shipped back, and I don't know if anyone will buy it." He whispered to Yang Fu.
She couldn't afford to buy silk or gauze. If this ordinary fabric was shipped back and thrown into her hands, all the money spent on the shop would be gone.
Huo Xi walked around in front of the piles of spices and cloths, without any idea.
The money you have is limited, so you can't take risks.
He also saw some woolen fabrics in the pile of fabrics, and asked Nok what they were and how they were sold.
"This is Sahara, one penny and one denarius."
Sahara? Ten feet and one hundred cents? It's quite a bargain. These woolen fabrics are rough to the touch and gray in color. I guess no one wants them, so they are on the bottom layer. But they feel very thick.
What if we make it into felt to protect against dust, wind and rain, keep out cold and warm, or make insoles? There should be some profit, right?
Then they negotiated the price with Nok.
When Nok saw that the rich young man she had brought had picked out a lot of expensive things, she was so happy that she couldn't see her eyes. With a wave of her hand, Huo Xi paid eighty cents a piece for the money.
It cost her one hundred taels.
The next step is to buy cloth or spices.
Cloth Nok was willing to sell it to her at a 10% discount, but the price of the spices couldn't be negotiated at all.
I guess there is no need to worry about selling it.
Seeing Huo Xi's hesitation, Mu Yan glanced at her leisurely: "There are very few foreign merchant ships from this dynasty going north, at most they go to Songjiang Port. If you buy these spices and transport them north, you can double or triple them without worrying about selling them."
."
She understood, but she couldn't buy much with less than two thousand taels of silver. She also wanted to rely on fanbu to increase the popularity of the shop, but if she had to buy all the pepper, she wouldn't be able to buy cloth.
"I can lend you money. Seeing as you have saved me so much money." Mu Yan said calmly.
"Really?" Huo Xi's eyes widened with joy. What kind of peerless good guy is he? He must get a good guy card quickly.
"However, I want 80% profit. I don't care how to sell it."
Ah, if he doesn't care, if she can't sell it, then it's her fault? She spends all the effort and labor and gets 20%? Losing money and making a profit?
He still has 80%? Why don’t you go and grab it!
She rolled her eyes at him.
"If I didn't lend you money, you wouldn't be able to earn even half of it."
I thank you.
Let’s just say that this young master is a very thieves and stingy. It’s 80%! The landlord is not as ruthless as you in peeling off your skin.
"You don't want it?" Mu Yan took out the banknote to settle the bill. He looked at her and gently shook the banknote in his hand.
Huo Xi's eyes lit up, and she wanted to go up and grab it directly.
It's a pity that she has been busy for several years, and the money she can use is not as much as the silver notes in the hands of this stingy young master.
"You are too cruel. We have to go through all the trouble and work on relationships, giving gifts and treating guests, paying for the rent of the shop, wages for the assistants and shopkeepers, ship maintenance fees, and we may even encounter water thieves on the water. You want 80%, but we have gained nothing.
." Yang Fu complained.
Didn't you catch anything? Mu Yan glanced at Li Yi and Kan Er.
Kan Er nodded repeatedly, his eyes suggesting, Master, you are a bit cruel. It’s not easy for Miss Huo, don’t you always say that others are more pitiful than you?
When Li Yi looked over at him, he looked away. The young master was a little cruel, but he didn't say anything.
Huo Nian just used his eyes to take a look here and touch there to watch the excitement.
"Then, seventy percent?"
"Fifty percent."
Mu Yan watched her open and close mouth and stuffed the stack of banknotes directly into his arms.
Fifty percent? I'm dreaming about the blue sky. I'm a white wolf with nothing. I'm really a philistine who grew up outside.
Seeing him stuffing the banknote back, Huo Xi's eyes were so hot that she wanted to rush over to him and take it out from his arms.
"Then how about we have six of you and four of us?"
"I am seven and you are three."
Huo Xi gritted his teeth and forced a smile: "How about a little more, 35%?"
"You three." Mu Yan insisted.
Huo Xi glared at him fiercely.
Yang Fu came over to pull her away and whispered: "Xi'er, how about 30% for 30%? We don't have any money, 30% is better than nothing at all."
I decided to change my name, Mu Li to Mu Li Yi, Mu Kan to Mu Kan II, Mu Gan III, Mu Kun IV. Allow me to cry, there are more than 200 chapters, I have to look for them one by one, I will go crazy ~ wow cry out
