Several businessmen from the Tang Dynasty were discussing their experiences about this business negotiation. When they saw Pengcheng coming, they immediately smiled and said hello: "Old Peng, when will you, the director of the external economic and trade department, have time to have time? How about we come out and sit together?"

"Hey, I think too, but foreign trade has just been established for a while, and it is a time of trouble. When will things be straightened out? How about it?" Pengcheng hahaha, leading Hadlink to his side, and then said in a very familiar tone: "But don't say you don't take care of you. The one next to me is Mr. Hadlink from Byzantium. Whether your products can enter Byzantium in the future depends on yours."

Because of their different habits from the Tang Dynasty, they did not use the title of adults very much, so Pengcheng always called Hadlink by his gentleman, and Hadlink did not object to such a title.

"Hahaha..., Lao Peng knew that you were the best friend!" Silk merchant Zheng Keming showed a little understanding in Mingzhong, and laughed and bowed to Peng Cheng, and then bowed to Hadlink: "Mr. Hadlink, I'm polite!"

Hadlink imitated the others, bowed to Zheng Keming and others, and said word by word in the stiff Tang Dynasty Mandarin: "Hello!"

Zheng Keming and others obviously did not expect that this foreign old actor would have such a move. They were stunned for a moment, and then raised their thumbs at the same time: "Mr. Hadlink, amazing!"

"Hahaha..." Hadlink smiled proudly as if he had accomplished a very great achievement, and finally said: "The official language of the Tang Dynasty is really hard to learn. I laugh at you when you see it!"

"Mr. Hadlink, come on, let me introduce you to you. This is Zheng Keming, the silk merchant in the Tang Dynasty; this is Qian Fu, the glass merchant; this is..."

Pengcheng was originally a merchant in Chang'an. Although he was not the top and was not in the same circle with Zheng Keming and others, some simple information could not help him. In a short while, he introduced all the people in front of him.

As soon as Hadlink heard the goods run by several people, a bright smile immediately appeared on his face, and once again he whispered a half-baked Tang Dynasty Mandarin: "Good to know, lucky to know!"

It seems that this old actor has put in a lot of effort for today. Peng Cheng, Zheng Keming and others looked at each other, and they already had a glimmer of enlightenment in their hearts, and they were full of hope for this commercial negotiation tonight.

You should know that if this old fan did not want to do business with the Tang Dynasty, or if he had not had a strong idea of ​​starting a business, he would not have to learn the official language of the Tang Dynasty. With his status as a Byzantine noble, he would not have to get closer to the merchants of the Tang Dynasty in this way.

Although there are differences in certain ideas between the Tang Dynasty and the foreign race, there are still many commonalities in the differences in the status of officials and businessmen. In terms of social status, although the nobles of the foreign race value money, they do not need to please a group of businessmen in this way.

So after a brief look at each other, Zheng Keming was the first to speak: "Mr. Hadlink also interested in the silk of the Tang Dynasty?"

"Yes, I'm very interested, but I don't know what the price of Mr. Zheng's silk is like?" Hadlink didn't go around the circle. When Zheng Keming asked, he immediately asked back.

"According to the Tang Dynasty's standards, the price per horse is about fifteen stakes," Zheng Keming replied without thinking.

This price was negotiated in advance, which is already five times the price of silk in the Tang Dynasty. However, compared with the price of silk products in Byzantine, it is still much cheaper.

Peng Cheng stood aside and saw that they had already started talking about business and knew that it would be embarrassing to stay here. So he smiled at Hadlink and said, "Mr. Hadlink, you guys talk first, I will compensate you for the loss."

Hadlink is not a fool either. Of course he knows what Pengcheng means, but he has no reason to keep Pengcheng now, so he can only nod and say, "Mr. Peng is willing to do whatever he wants, I will have a good chat with several gentlemen."

"Reimbursement!" Peng Cheng smiled slightly, nodded at Zheng Keming and others.

"Sir, please give me a favor!" Zheng Keming and others did not try to keep Peng Cheng, and bowed and watched him leave.

When Pengcheng left, Hadlink also returned to his normal expression and looked at Zheng Keming and said, "Mr. Zheng, I really want to know why the price of silk sold to us is so high. As far as I know, the price of a piece of silk in the Tang Dynasty should be around two to three cents."

"No, no, this price is not expensive. You should know that silk sold in the Tang Dynasty is actually subsidized by the government, but exported abroad is not the case. This is a kind of resource outflow. The government will cancel some policy support due to resource outflow, and the subsidy fee will also be cancelled."

"Mr. Hadlink, we are businessmen, not philanthropists. Our men need to support a large number of workers. If there is no certain profit, we will not sell the goods."

Zheng Keming and Hadlink stood opposite each other, chatting happily, and gave him all the comments that everyone had gathered together some time ago.

Silk is woven from silk, silk is spit out of silkworms, silkworms are insects, and renewable, and the leaves eaten by silkworms are also renewable. Where does the resource loss come from? Hadlink knew that Zheng Keming was not saying that, but he could not refute that the Tang Dynasty was a powerful country, and he had no way to threaten with force, so he could only let the guy named Zheng talk nonsense there.

Qian Fu, the glass merchant, was quite eye-catching. Seeing that Hadlink's face looked a little ugly, he joined in with haha: "Mr. Hadlink, Lao Zheng is a straightforward person, don't be surprised. But in some aspects, the price he said is not really expensive. You can think about it. As merchants of the Tang Dynasty, we actually enjoy preferential policies in many aspects. For example, transportation, we can use the railway, which is much more convenient than shipping things back after you bought them in Chang'an? For example, safety, if you buy things from us at this price, we can deliver them to the border safely and safely, so that there will be no problems. If you transport them independently, how can you guarantee safety?"

Hadlink frowned. I have to say that Qian Fu's words really touched him. He was worried about transportation and safety issues. If he could really transport these things to the border by railway as Qian Fu said, the price would be unacceptable.
