The young man rode slowly on his horse, with Su Lei following beside him. After walking for five or six kilometers, the young man saw the goods piled by Su Lei and others in the small mountain col.
But the young man frowned: "Is that all?"
He dismounted and walked around the goods. Most of them were vegetables, but there were few medicines. Unfortunately, there are not many iron utensils to be seen, but there are quite a lot of onions, ginger, garlic and other condiments.
To sum up, there are not many valuable things...
Su Lei explained from the side: "Time is short, so I can only get these things. You live in the grassland I have never been to the south, so I may not know that the supplies in the south are not as rich as you think, and it is also very difficult to get these things."
The young man looked at Su Lei with a half-smile, he probably understood. "I guess you don't have money to buy what I want, right?"
Su Lei suddenly felt embarrassed: "How is that possible? Everything I said is true."
< p>"Okay," the young man no longer exposed, but said directly: "We don't have any common currency, so we just exchange things for things. How do you want to exchange?"Su Lei thought for a while and said: "Actually, you have also seen that people in the south are also very poor. If you give me these furs, I can't sell them at a good price. In the end, food is the most valuable these days."
On the way here, Su Lei had already thought about how to make a counter-offer. It was nothing more than bullying the northern nomads who did not understand the situation in the Central Plains, making them think that his furs were worthless, and then raising the price of tea, medicine, etc. in his hands. With the value of ironware and vegetables, you can make a lot of money.
The young man did not refute, but continued to listen to Su Lei's nonsense with great interest: "We in the Central Plains are not cold, so there is no point in wearing such fur, but iron items are rare. Do you know how much this pot is worth?"
The young man asked with a smile: "More than nine hundred?"
Su Lei suddenly stopped because the young man said it accurately. The value of this iron pot is revealed.
Of course, the value is not accurate enough. Although ironware is still scarce today, after 178 Fortress took over the territory of the Zong family, many daily necessities that were originally in the hands of the Zong family have been reduced in price. Now the price of an iron pot It's eight hundred yuan.
But just a month ago, the iron pot sold for more than 900...
At this moment, Su Lei suddenly realized that the young man in front of him probably knew the south. !
Su Lei was silent for a while and said: "Let’s not talk about this iron pot first, let’s talk about this medicine. You also know that as long as a person is alive, he must take medicine. No one can have a headache or fever. Many people have it once. A fever may kill you, so the price of medicine has remained high. How much do you think this antibiotic costs?"
The young man asked again with a smile: "Two hundred?"
< p>Su Lei was helpless. Once might be a coincidence, but twice was definitely not."How do you know the prices of these things?" Su Lei wondered. Could it be that there was a traitor in the south?, ran to the grassland?
Who leaked the news?
But the young man laughed and said: "Okay, the most expensive things here are dozens of antibiotics and ironware. It can be seen that you bought these things by selling iron. Vegetables are not valuable. Yes, although the barrier controls food, it never controls vegetables. The refugees can grow these vegetables in the wilderness. I guess you grow them yourself." Su Lei felt a little powerless, but he did. Still wanting to resist again: "The price of fur..."
The young man interrupted with a smile: "To show my sincerity, the furs I brought this time are all the best-looking ones. These things are in The grocery store in the market town costs three to four thousand at least."
Su Lei lost his temper completely. He still thought that he could deceive the nomads in the north. After all, in the eyes of southerners, Nomads don't seem very smart and are particularly easy to deceive.
And don’t everyone say that in the history of mankind, people from the Central Plains have always been able to deceive people from the grasslands when doing business? Why is it so hard to do it here?
Looking back at this time, although this young man is wearing the clothes of a herdsman, his speech and behavior are not much different from those of southerners.
It’s just that Su Lei has never seen prairie people before, so he doesn’t have much ability to distinguish them.
Su Lei glanced at the cavalry behind the boy. He could only replace one-tenth of the fur there, maybe not even one-tenth.
The young man comforted: "You don't have to be depressed. Of course I won't do business with you at the price in the market town. After all, everyone has to make money to have a future, right?"
Su Lei cheered up: "Then how do you plan to discount the price?"
"In this way, if I sell these furs to the wall, I will say three or four thousand a piece, but I will give you two thousand. Forget it, I don’t need to talk about the profit. As for your things, I bought them at the price in the market town. Moreover, I will give you another fifty furs on credit as the cost of your next purchase. Is this a wasted trip for you? Just bring me a hundred thousand yuan worth of goods today next month." Su Lei was overjoyed, even though it was less than he expected. A lot, but not without profit!
Moreover, the fact that the other party was able to give him fifty furs on credit was like someone stuffing a pillow into his head when he was dozing off. What did he lack now? Isn't it the capital?
But Su Lei was a little confused: "Aren't you afraid that I will take away your fifty pieces of fur?"
You know, this is worth more than 100,000 yuan.
The young man smiled: "You have traveled hundreds of kilometers to see me sincerely. I believe you are not short-sighted. If you do business down-to-earth, you can make a lot of money in the future. Is it several times, dozens or hundreds of times higher than these fifty furs? You have to weigh the pros and cons yourself."
Of course, this is also because furs are very important to young people. It's really not worth the money, he has so much!
A sudden business ended quickly. The herdsman man behind the boy loaded all the goods brought by Su Lei and others onto the horse and left happily.
What is a bit unsatisfying is how to bring most of the furs and how to bring them back. After all, Su Lei and the others are too poor and they bring too little goods...
On the way back, a man said guiltily to the young man: "Master, the people I sent out can't do the job well. I didn't expect to find such a poor bandit."
The young man smiled and said: "Hassan , don’t worry about the gains and losses at this moment, I believe this group of people will bring us surprises next month, we need to take a longer-term view, now he is just a pony bandit, but one day he will become a big businessman, At that time, I can get you some automatic rifles to play with. You know, there are quite a few arms dealers in the south. The other tribes on the grassland are still just trying to grab something from the Central Plains. But in fact, Doing business is the safest way. I won’t be here next month. Just bring someone here. You will be responsible for this from now on.”
“Good master,” Hassan replied respectfully. Said: "Master, can you let the wolves escort me?"
The boy laughed loudly: "Hassan, don't be afraid of them, I will let the wolves accompany you, but there are no dangerous wolves. We can't show up in the group, I'm afraid I'll scare this new group of 'friends'."
