Chapter 158 Li Feilong
The next day, Xu Shiyang took a day off and continued to stroll in the market with his younger brother and guards.
This time he ordered 10,000 kilograms of Japanese lead from a Fusang store. Perhaps because the Japanese saw that Xu Shiyang was sent out by two large cabinets of the Li family yesterday, the Fusang merchant actually agreed to send a ship to Rizhao next year.
When he heard that there was such a good thing, Xu Shiyang immediately decided on a batch of 5,000 kilograms of sulfur.
However, he still stubbornly refused to buy corpses and Japanese swords, and the merchant could not get Japanese bronze for Xu Shiyang - precious metals were all traded by Daming, and a small agent like him was not qualified to get involved.
A Pals businessman (not the one who almost fought with Xu Shiyang) tried to sell Xu Shiyang a charming beauty. Xu Shiyang smiled and talked to him for a few words, promising to buy a few in the future, but it definitely won't work now.
But Xu Shiyang wanted to buy a few stallions.
The Palsma is probably the best war horse in the world at present, and it is likely that there is no such thing as one.
Of course, buying stallions in any country is a big political issue. If there is no strong backstage in Pals, the business will not be completed at all. Xu Shiyang is not sure that the chamber of commerce in front of him can fulfill his wish.
Therefore, the contract signed by the two parties was: the store sold 50 Pars stallions of pure blood and of appropriate age to Xu Shiyang within five years.
Each of them is worth 10,000 Dhs silver coins, but Xu Shiyang will only pay after receiving the goods, and it will be paid for each one.
The Pars people don't want to do this business, and they smuggle good stallions, and their risks and profits are simply disproportionate.
What's more, Xu Shiyang gave the FOB price, and all the risks were borne by the Pars Chamber of Commerce.
But they can't do it. The captain who had a conflict with Xu Shiyang was the vice president of the Chamber of Commerce. Xu Shiyang pretended to be a tiger-like power. Taking advantage of the opportunity that everyone misunderstood the relationship between Xu and Li, he secretly stated that if he did not agree to the contract, he would immediately uproot the Pars power in Shuangyu Port in revenge.
Moreover, if the mall cannot complete the contract within five years, Xu Shiyang will still expel the Pars from Shuangyu Port.
Although completing the contract will not make a lot of money, if you fail to complete the contract, you will definitely suffer heavy losses and even lose your life. The Pars had no choice but to agree to sign this overlord contract.
After leaving the Pars Store, Xu Shiyang signed a contract to purchase 10,000 kilograms of salted fish from a Han maritime merchant.
With these, the Xu family can consume less salt and use fish to supplement protein.
In the end, Xu Shiyang spent about 6,000 taels of silver, and the gold and silver seized from the ship Zhou were only about 5,000 taels of gold and silver. He did not dare to continue spending money because he had to go to Jiangnan to buy food, so he had to choose to return to the ship.
Li Feihu did hand over his villa to Xu Shiyang for temporary residence, but the latter did not go at all, because the time for disembarking was limited to six hours, and if he set the rules himself, it would be a joke.
The Li family's efficiency is slightly faster than Xu Shiyang imagined.
On the third day after the last small talk at the venue, Li Feihu sent two sedan chairs to invite Xu Shiyang to have a secret talk.
Xu Shiyang, who was about to visit the market for another day, set off immediately, but he decided to walk by himself on the grounds that the general was not suitable for sitting in a sedan chair.
Xu Shiliu's reason was that "Confucians should not replace animals with people", so everyone walked to the Li family mansion.
Li Feihu, who was waiting at the door, laughed a few times after hearing about this incident, but he didn't delve into it, but he was already convinced that Xu Shiyang could indeed complete his plan.
Li Feihu personally led the way and took the Xu Shiyang brothers to a room behind the mansion.
After entering the door, Xu Shiyang found that the room was not as big as he thought. Only Li Feibao, who had met in the venue the day before yesterday, and a strong man sitting in the upper seat.
No need to guess, this strong man should be the boss of the Li Group, Li Feilong, who is nearly 50 years old.
This is a strong middle-aged man with dark skin. You can tell at a glance that he has the complexion of his skin that he has been wandering on the sea for many years.
There was a gorgeous Japanese sword hanging around his waist (Xu Shiyang found that the sea merchants liked this thing very much, probably because the enemies in the naval battle usually did not wear armor), wearing a wide silk robe and a square flat scarf.
This guy has long beards. If it weren't for the Japanese sword and skin color, he would look more like a scholar..., uh, well, there was a scar on his face that was straight from his forehead to his chin. Combined with these, he really looked like a pirate leader who always wanted to recruit him.
Especially the pair of sharp eyes like hawks always give people a feeling of cold neck.
Li Feilong said nothing and stared at Xu Shiyang like that.
Xu Shiyang did not retreat at all, hugged his arms, stood there, staring at the pirate leader's eyes, and looked at him.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little cold.
Xu Shiliu unconsciously put his right hand on the gun handle at his waist.
"not bad."
Just when Xu Shiliu was about to endure it, Li Feilong spoke:
"It's really a big deal, your brother is a little weaker."
"He is a literati, and he takes a different path than a fighter like you and me."
Xu Shiyang said calmly:
"When he passes the Jinshi, you can see him ten years later."
"That's right, the Jinshi Master is better than my one hundred ships."
Li Feilong nodded and smiled:
"If this little brother can pass the Jinshi exam, I will give you 100,000 yuan as a gift with both hands. There are not many opportunities to curry favor with the Jinshi master."
"But he is not a Jinshi now."
Li Feibao sat aside, held a cigarette bounce, and then said coldly:
"I think the things you said to Feihu are too far away. It's not too late to give you money after you can cut off the Grand Canal, or when Mr. Wen does come out again."
This begins to directly involve the main issues? It is quite straightforward.
But this is exactly what Xu Shiyang wants. It is good for everyone to spend less talk and save a little time.
"When our plan is successful in five years, why do you need your resources?" Xu Shiyang smiled confidently: "If the Li family wants to continue floating on the sea like this, why bother to come and find me? Wouldn't we go our separate ways?"
"For the first time I saw such an arrogant boy who wanted money."
"Wrong, this is not asking for money, this is a transaction." Xu Shiyang interrupted Li Feibao and corrected with a smile: "The Li family paid for two opportunities to buy, one was to double the Liao goods trade and the other was to recruit. If you buy or not, you will be obedient."
"If we don't buy it, you won't cut off the Grand Canal?" Li Feibao shook his head and said, "Since you must cut off the Grand Canal, why should we give you money?"
"Who said I must cut off the Grand Canal route?"
Xu Shiyang smiled and said:
"War is a war, and doing business is a business. If the merchants can leave me 10% of their wealth to buy the road, why would I cut off the Grand Canal? The Li family's ships are often robbed. Have you ever cut off the sea trade because of this?"
"Big shopkeeper, that's the case. In my opinion, it's just a deal."
Xu Shiyang ignored Li Feibao and turned to Li Feilong and said:
"I wonder if Brother Feihu has told the shopkeeper that the Li family was not in my map at the beginning, nor in my plan. For my Xu family, it doesn't matter whether there is the support of the Li family. Behind us, Mr. Wen and a group of wise ministers who are worried about the country and the people, that's enough."
"I joined the Li family when I was planning to do so because Brother Feihu and I have similar tempers. I also recognize the strength of the Li family and think that the Li family can shorten the planning process."
"If the so-called "shopkeeper" is just a game, and you like to invest millions of dollars in wealth every year and still don't see any hope of reunion, then just do whatever you want."
Xu Shiyang bowed to Li Feilong:
"Goodbye!"
Xu Shiyang turned around and left, and at the same time he counted in his heart:
'one two three……'
"Let's wait!"
Chapter completed!
