Daming One Piece

Chapter 77 Big deal (first update, please recommend, please collect)
When Guo Huaiyi received He Guoli, Shi Yiwen had been checking the cabin in the cabin, whether there was water seepage in the gaps, whether the keel was strong, and other inspections were indispensable. After all, this was the first launch of the "Black Pearl". sailing.

Black Pearl is the name Shi Yiwen gave it.

When you learn that someone is going to underwrite the salt you brought, of course you should be more polite when a big business comes to your door.

"Mr. He is interested in Snowflake Salt?"

Shi Yiwen smiled and said,
"I'm interested, of course I'm interested, but what I'm more interested in is, how much does Mr. Shi of Xuehuayan have, and how much is it for a load?"

With a smile on his face, He Guoli narrowed his eyes into slits. He didn't care where the salt came from, so what if he knew where it came from?Snatch salt from those pirates in Beigang?Impatient to live?
Businessmen!

There is always a businessman's attention.

"Well, Mr. He thinks how much money is appropriate for a load?"

Shi Yiwen said.

"Ah, this..."

He Guoli was suddenly dumbfounded. How much money does he think is suitable for a load?
Of course the cheaper the better, but...is it possible?
Now let him make an offer, what is the right price?

"Mr. He, look at this salt, the color is as white as snow, without a trace of bitterness or astringency. You have never seen such salt before!"

Poured a small packet of salt on the table, Shi Yiwen deliberately showed off.

"Look at the grains of salt. The grains are the same size. There is only one such high-quality snowflake salt in the world. How much do you think is a good price for this salt?"

How much should I sell?

Shi Yiwen has his calculations in his heart, it can't be too cheap, and it can't be too expensive. In fact, no matter how cheap it is, unless it is as cheap as ordinary salt, ordinary people can't afford it. At best, people buy it back to show off, rather than treating it as a necessity of life.So sales will become a problem.

This is good stuff!
Staring at those salt grains as white as snow, He Guoli swallowed, thought for a while, and then said.

"This……"

While hesitating, he saw Guo Huaiyi's right hand tap the table from time to time.

Three fingers, is he giving himself a secret signal?

After thinking about it, He Guoli said tentatively.

"30 taels a load?"

30 taels a load!
30 taels of silver for one hundred catties!
Guo Huai opened his eyes wide in astonishment, 30 taels of salt!

This, this is really a sky-high price!
Shi Yiwen was also stunned for a while.

30 taels is really not cheap!

How much does my "Black Pearl" cost?Just a few hundred taels.

"Mr. He is refreshing, just follow the price you said."

Seeing that the other party agreed, He Guoli couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief, 30 taels a load of salt, although the price of this salt is sky-high, but the key is that this salt is really rare.

"Master Shi is refreshing!"

He Guoli also smiled happily.

"I don't know how many snowflake salts are there in Mr. Shi's boat?"

"One thousand five hundred stones!"

He Guoli stood up abruptly and said.

"what!"

"One thousand five hundred shi, 100 catties of snowflake salt per stone, if it is 5000 shi, according to your quotation, that is [-] taels, do you think this number is right?"

This number must be correct, but He Guoli's face turned pale.

Fifteen hundred halite!
Not much, not even enough for what he sells in Guangzhou.

But the problem is that forty-five thousand taels of silver, he really... can't get it out!

"Master Shi, this, this..."

Of course He Guoli wanted to take out the money readily, but he really couldn't get it out.

As for Guo Huaiyi, he was also dumbfounded.

Forty-five thousand taels of silver!
Who can take out such a large sum of money?

"Is there a problem with the number?"

Shi Yiwen asked back.

"There is nothing wrong with the number, it's just, just..."

He Guoli's face became a little embarrassed,

He silently calculated it in his heart, and there was no problem with the amount, but he really couldn't afford the money, what should he do now?
The big talk has already been said.

If he had known that there was so much salt in advance, he wouldn't have said such big words, but if he was asked to give up now, he would not be willing to give up!

This batch of salt can earn at least tens of thousands of taels of silver by changing hands!
How to do?
Thinking so much in his heart, He Guoli's eyes were a little erratic. On the one hand, he didn't have so much money on hand, and on the other hand, he was full of fat in his mouth, and he didn't want to spit it out!
Suddenly his eyes fell on the deck, his eyes lit up instantly, and he said softly.

"The amount is correct, but Mr. Shi, I really can't afford that much money. Look..."

After a pause, he said.

"How about we barter?"

"Bargain? What kind of exchange?"

Shi Yiwen asked back.

"Mr. Shi, sailing on the sea will inevitably be risky. There are always some firearms on board. I think you only have two Franglers installed on your ship. The Franglers seem to have a fast rate of fire, but their power is very limited. , now all the red-haired boats use big guns, but I have some big guns here, I don’t know if Mr. Shi is interested.”

What is a big gun?

Big guns are cannons!
Hongyi Cannon!

He has a cannon in his hand!
Shi Yiwen's face showed flowers.

"If you're interested, how can you not be interested?"

Someone sells cannons. How can he build a ship without cannons? He really needs cannons. Exchange salt for cannons.

"I don't know, where is the cannon?"

"It's in the warehouse on the shore."

Soon, they arrived at the warehouse on the shore, which was He Guoli's own warehouse. After entering the warehouse, Shi Yiwen saw more than twenty cannons, and his eyes lit up.

"Young Master Shi, look, although these cannons vary in size, they are all artifacts made of red-haired fan without exception, and each one is valuable..."

"Artifact?"

Before He Guoli could finish speaking, Shi Yiwen interrupted him directly, raised his head and asked back.

"That's it? It's just some cast iron cannons, not a magical weapon. When I was in Europe, I visited the cannon factories in various countries in Europe. It's not a big deal."

Why do you interrupt him? It's to prevent the surname He from raising the price!
Like the British, a Hongyi cannon sells for 1000 taels of silver?

To put it bluntly, it's just a few thousand catties of iron.

How much is a few thousand catties of iron worth?

In fact, if there is an iron furnace, Shi Yiwen can cast cannons by himself, but the cannons he casts are definitely not as reasonable as those made by Europeans. He knows metallurgy well, but he doesn't know firearms.

Right now... let's buy it first.

"A cannon like this is only one or two hundred taels of silver at most."

He Guoli was dumbfounded when he heard that, originally he wanted to raise the price, but he didn't expect the other party to be so knowledgeable.

"Master Shi, this, after all, this cannon was transported from Europa, and the shipping fee will inevitably be added to it..."

Ignoring He Guoli, Shi Yiwen inspected the cannon body carefully, then raised his head and said.

"If I'm not mistaken, your cannon was salvaged from the sea!"
