When the two foreigners saw Huo Xi entering the cubicle with them alone, they lost all their last traces of caution.
He greeted Huo Xi warmly.
Huo Xi understands that kind of enthusiasm very well, just like when she meets compatriots who speak the same language as her abroad, or when she hears someone speaking her hometown dialect while traveling in a foreign country, she feels that kind of intimacy.
He also responded enthusiastically.
However, Shen Qianzhong and Lei Da in the cubicle next to them were completely shocked.
Does the boss actually know what to say?
The voices of three people talking in the private room next door came from time to time. Shen Qianzhong and Lei Da couldn't understand, but they couldn't help but be excited. The boss actually knew how to talk, so the deal this time was secure.
The private room on the second floor is enclosed on three sides, and the other side is open for distinguished guests to enjoy the performance of the flower girls downstairs. There are partitions on the left and right, so it is quite private.
Huo Xi talked with the two Fan people and learned that they were from Bo Ni.
The name of the country at this time was very different from that of later generations, but this Bo Ni Huo Xi knew exactly it.
In the third year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, King Bo Ni came to court with his family and envoys. In the sixth year of Yongle, he died of illness in Nanjing. He was buried honorably outside Nanjing's Ande Gate by Emperor Yongle. He never returned to his hometown until his death.
This Bo Ni became Brunei in later generations. In ancient times, it had close contacts with the Chinese Dynasty.
Huo Xi tilted his head and wondered if there were any foreign envoys in Beijing in the past two years. He asked two Bo Ni people, but they said that their king was well in the capital. Many businessmen from their country came to Wei Dynasty frequently and liked Wei Dynasty very much.
Huo Xi shook his head and put the matter aside.
Let's talk business with them seriously.
The two Bo Ni people were very interested when they heard that she had porcelain, cloth, many handicrafts, and other good things they had never seen before.
Holding Huo Xi's hand and holding on: "That's great. We need porcelain, silk, tea, gold and silverware, handicrafts..."
Huo Xi was overjoyed when she heard this. She also found out that they were still waiting and watching and hadn't bought many suitable goods. The goods they brought on the ship had not yet been sold. The ship was also big and there were many things to buy. She was even more happy.
I asked them what goods they had, and they said they had pearls, agate, amber, gold and silverware, lacquerware, sandalwood, spices, glass products, cloth, etc.
The two sides talked passionately, but in the end they couldn't sit still anymore, so they took Huo Xi to see the goods.
Huo Xi also wanted to strike while the iron was hot, so she agreed. The three of them left the private room, and Huo Xi introduced Shen Qianzhong and Lei Da to them.
The group of people left the flower building and went to Yiguan on Thirty-sixing Street.
I looked at the samples of the goods they brought in the Yi Museum. They were rich in variety and were exactly what Huo Xi wanted. I was very satisfied.
We made an appointment to go to the largest teahouse on the pier tomorrow to look at Huo Xi's goods, discussed the price, and then parted ways.
The next day, Huo Xi and Shen Qianzhonglei carried several packages and arrived at the teahouse on the pier on time, and entered the reserved private room.
After the conversation last night, the two parties got a lot warmer and even made some jokes with each other.
Huo Xi then showed the other party a sample of the goods he brought.
The two Bo Ni people were very interested in the velvet fan, mother-of-pearl and other handicrafts that Huo Xi brought. They were also amazed by the porcelain with Fan people's patterns that Huo Xi brought.
Fan people like the porcelain of Guochao, mainly because they do not have such porcelain firing technology. Now that they see porcelain that perfectly combines the porcelain firing technology of Guochao with the decoration of Fan people, they want it.
I was a little disappointed to hear that Huo Xi didn't have silk or tea.
But after seeing Huo Xi showing off white sugar and rock sugar, her eyes lit up.
He nodded repeatedly: "How many? We all want them!" He looked as if he was afraid that Huo Xi would turn around and sell them to others.
"It's not impossible to sell them all to you. It also saves us from looking for other dealers. But you also need to buy all the other goods in our hands."
As the saying goes, one thing never bothers two masters. Ningbo Port Municipal Shipping Department and Thirty-sixth Line keep a close eye on it. Unlike Songjiang Port, they can easily evade smuggling.
"Yes, we all want it!"
Shen Qianzhong was very happy and could not sit still with excitement.
The next step is to negotiate the price of each item.
Huo Xi raised the price of white sugar this time, with one stone costing forty taels of silver, and rock sugar costing fifty taels and one stone. Fanren almost knew the market price of other goods, and it was not easy to bargain, so he only focused on two kinds of sugar, and Fanren The goods in his hands were pulled back and forth.
Because things are rare and valuable, the two Bo Ni people stayed at the dock for more than ten days without seeing any white sugar or rock sugar. For fear of disagreement, Huo Xi sold it to someone else. After a few pulls, they agreed to Huo Xi's agreement. Said price.
The goods they brought were also available from other merchants, and Huo Xi also knew the rough bottom price.
Since I saved a large amount of thirty-six lines of commission, the price war did not last long. The two parties quickly reached an agreement.
The two cargoes brought by Huo Xi were all cleared and exchanged for two more cargoes.
Both parties are very satisfied.
"Why don't you have any tea or silk? You brought too little porcelain. We want to buy some more." The two Bo Ni people were a little regretful.
Huo Xi and Shen Qianzhong looked at each other.
Huo Xi held back her excitement: "How long are you going to stay? If you are not in a hurry to return home, I will help you find it."
"Really? That's great!" The two Bo Ni people looked excited, "We'll wait for you until the boat is full before we go back."
After asking the two Bo Ni people about the quantity they wanted and the price they could accept, they agreed on a delivery time and then parted ways.
"Boss, do we need to introduce domestic businessmen to them?" Matchmaking between them?
Huo Xi shook his head: "How much is the labor fee? We buy it and sell it to them."
"But we can't negotiate the price here in Ningbo. Our profit is not big."
"Don't buy it from domestic merchants at the docks and Ningbo. Those people are not in a hurry to return to China. Let's buy it from other places in Zhejiang."
The two returned to the ship and discussed the purchase of porcelain and silk.
It was agreed that in the afternoon, the goods from the two boats would be transported to the boats of the two Bo Ni people, and they would exchange them with each other for a boatload of precious spices, jewelry, jade and other items.
The other ship is free, and they will get back the gold and silver of equal value first, and then exchange these gold and silver for the goods in their hands after a few days.
The empty boat was taken by Shen Qianzhong towards Huzhou.
He asked two bodyguards to hire fast horses and go to Huzhou to inform his uncle to prepare silk. Then he took the letter to Yuezhou to buy porcelain from the Wen family. When the Wen family was ready, Shen Qianzhong came back from Huzhou and took it with him.
Huo Xi was not idle either. She led Xianghua and Lei Da around Ningbo dock and the city, looking for business opportunities.
A few days later, Shen Qianzhong returned with a ship full of goods. His maternal uncle and maternal uncle also followed, and he also brought his two children, Li Yin and Li Yi.
"Why are you here?" Huo Xi was surprised and surprised at the same time.
"I miss you." My maternal uncle held Huo Xi's hand and looked her up and down. She was relieved to see that she was fine. My maternal uncle looked at her with a smile.
"I'm fine. You just need to be healthy. Don't worry about me."
