Chapter 469: Cargo that I have never seen in my half-life as a maritime trader (second update)
The compass is just an appetizer. When Ali saw the clock, he knew that it needed to be wound up so that it could move around day and night and tell the time accurately.
Ali, a big food merchant who had been wandering at sea for half his life, immediately realized how demanding that thing was.
Moreover, that kind of precise time reporting system can be used not only on ships, but also by dignitaries from overseas countries.
If there is such an exquisite and gorgeous clock at home, it will definitely make other people crazy with envy.
Its crisp clicking sound made Ali feel so fascinated no matter how he listened to it.
There is a clock dial, and the second hand is beating on the dial with the clicking sound, as if people can really see the passage of time like water...
At this moment, the commentator stretched out his leg to stop him in time, and Ali's greedy and trembling thigh almost hit the dial.
Ali glanced at the commentator with some displeasure, took a deep breath, and then swung his thighs covered with rings inlaid with various gemstones.
"He bought that thing. How much does it cost? I was wrong about that Simon just now. He asked for it."
"Dear guest, don't worry, those are just samples, samples only. The samples are not for sale."
"If you want to buy it, you have to wait until the Hangzhou International Commodity Fair opens."
"And there are many specialty products there..."
"Okay, maybe he is looking forward to it more and more." Ali controlled his overly excited mood.
Just looking at the clock was enough to make Ali feel that the trip to Hangzhou was worth it.
After walking only two steps, Ali saw a piece of cloth on a shelf with about ten kinds of samples next to it.
After Minato went to look at it for a long time, Ali's face couldn't help but look strange.
"Doesn't it look like red folding cloth?"
"Yes, the products of their Dasong Suzhou Weaving Factory are not only of excellent quality, but also of high quality and low price."
The interpreter was not from the Song Dynasty, but he was not a well-informed veteran driver. He had seen the cannibals from the west selling a small amount of red folded cloth to the Song Dynasty.
#####
This was not the first time I saw that Da Song actually wanted to sell that thing to the big cannibal, and he couldn't help but twist his mouth and vomit.
"He said to the commentator, when did the red folded cloth sold to him in the Song Dynasty be considered high quality and low price?"
Unexpectedly, the commentator smiled calmly and reservedly.
"Well, does he know something about it? The red folded cloth arrived in Song Dynasty, and the price of one piece of cloth is between two and five to three guan."
"And a piece of red folded cloth produced by his Song Dynasty Suzhou Weaving Factory sells for about 500 yuan."
Ali's confused bearded face froze in an instant, turned his neck with difficulty, and looked at the commentator who was still smiling.
He stretched out his thigh and made gestures, and asked in a tone full of doubts in blunt Mandarin, "Five hundred coins?"
"Yes or no, it's only five hundred coins. Of course, if you think it's expensive, you can also trade it by bartering."
Ali was a little confused. I want to know whether the red folded cloth is a specialty in the Dashi area, but is it too time-consuming and labor-intensive to take care of?
Therefore, the vast majority of big eaters wear linen, and red folded cloth or silk is too expensive, but only those who have a lot of money in their pockets will wear it.
According to the price given by the commentator, it is actually a few percent lower than the cost of the red folding cloth.
"Actually, buying cloth is the least cost-effective. Please come over there. There are all kinds of finished products. Well, there is a finished product counter over there, which specializes in selling all kinds of ready-made clothes and outerwear. There are many kinds of matching...
…”
Following the commentator, Ali walked aside and felt like he had arrived at the gate of a new world.
For the first time, I learned that there are so many types of ready-made clothing products, so many patterns, and even all kinds of outerwear, which even dazzled the wealthy businessman.
There are also wooden models on the other side. Which one the distinguished guests want to admire, the service staff will naturally put that coat or ready-made clothes on to test the matching effect.
In addition, there is a kind of fabric similar to wool, which is very thick but soft to the touch.
It is said that the woolen fabric is made by Nafuna Kaifeng Weaving Factory.
There are those beautiful shoes, especially when Ali saw a pair of sheepskin boots with left and right legs that looked very high-end and comfortable.
Ali instantly felt that his feet were as rough as grandma's house compared to those leather boots.
There are also those gauze scarves, headscarves, and coats that will definitely add luster to women after wearing them, as well as those grid-shaped, or flesh-colored stockings.
There are many products there that Ali, an old businessman who has been doing maritime business for half his life, has never seen before.
There are many glass products with gorgeous colors and no trace of impurities or even pores.
Regardless of color or color, it is so transparent that it can even make people live in big food.
Having seen countless glass products and seeing workers weaving red folded cloth, the big foodies felt that they had come to the wrong place.
What's going on? Hangzhou is obviously not far from Mingzhou Shipping Division, so why is it so completely different from other shipping divisions?
Before, Ali was very worried that the Hangzhou Shipping Department had no fresh goods.
But now, Ali began to worry about his own wallet and whether he could load those special products on his own ship.
#####
After staying inside for almost an hour, Ali's legs were already numb, but his spirit was still so high.
Each of those various specialty products made him excited, and he wished he could just carry them back to his ship.
After transporting Maroma back, I saw the greedy faces and possessive eyes of the kings from abroad and the rich men from the east.
Waving the money bags in their legs, hoping that they could be the first to buy those treasures.
After the commentator finally sent the three people out of the exhibition hall, he let out a sigh of relief.
Looking at the guest satisfaction survey form filled with circles, he showed a happy smile.
Every time they receive a group of customers, they can receive certain rewards from the exhibition counter.
That's why their commentators are willing to spend so much time accompanying those barbarian maritime merchants.
At this moment, Ali, who was standing at the entrance of the exhibition hall, heard the whispers of several maritime merchants next to him.
Judging from their accents, it seems that they are merchants from Yilu (outside Ming Iraq), and they are discussing how they can join forces to eat those goods.
Chengdong is very good at coding, everyone has been watching it for a long time
