Chapter 155 Licensed Products
Li Peijun leaned back comfortably on the armchair at the base of the wool blanket, waiting for the representatives of the chamber of commerce to arrive.

"Lord, I didn't expect you to be waiting here so early. I'm really sorry for keeping you waiting." Euron walked through the door first. Seeing that the Lord was already sitting here, he quickly bowed and apologized.

"It's okay, the most important things should be taken seriously." Li Peijun waved his hand, signaling Oulun to take his seat as soon as possible.

Possant was a bit late in arriving, looking at his face as if he hadn't had a good rest yesterday, and his hair was disheveled like a bird's nest.

"Your Excellency Possant, the chamber of commerce has been busy these days. Those who work day and night must take care of their health."

Posang yawned again and again, walking unsteadily, and almost sitting in the wrong position. He said lazily: "I have received a lot of foreign currency recently. I have never been involved in this kind of work before, and it is a bit difficult to deal with it. Fei Shen, until now we haven’t set a unified standard.”

Li Peijun also deeply agrees with this. After all, the foreign exchange issue needs to be improved in future generations. Although there are exchange rates among countries, they are not fixed, and fluctuations are common.

Foreign trade in the Middle Ages could only be done in accordance with local regulations. There were many privately minted and adulterated currencies, and merchants also had a headache when they saw a variety of currencies.

"Okay, everyone is here. I believe that with your keen senses, you can know what the theme of our meeting today is." Li Peijun made a brief opening statement and presented the silk samples prepared early in the morning. in front of merchants.

Oulun and Possant had already known what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd, so they looked calm, but the group of small merchants in the far seat were not well-informed, so they looked at it seriously.

"Is this...high-end fabric?"

Li Peijun nodded and said, "Actually, this is the legendary silk, and Harfleur happens to have a batch."

The Chamber of Commerce is no stranger to silk. Even ordinary people in the market have heard of this rare and rare product as heavy as gold in the ancient Roman period.

"I plan to entrust you with these goods for sale. You know, the government affairs in the city are busy now, and I can't cover all aspects of business. I'd better leave it to your professionals to handle it." Li Peijun didn't hide it either. Then, he directly told the merchants present about his intentions frankly and honestly.

The merchants off the field were full of interest in this lucrative project, and Possant also knew that the lord was not one to trade at a loss, and the price he offered for it must not be affordable by ordinary people.

"How much do you think this batch of goods is worth?" Li Peijun didn't show his trump card, but deliberately tried to make it a secret.

Possant supported his head and thought hard. After all, there is no active quotation for this kind of thing in the market, so he can only estimate based on his own feelings, "If it is in batches, it can probably sell for 7000~8000 soles. no experience."

Oulun stroked his beard and pondered. He had never seen anyone buy and sell silk in his life, and he was not sure. "It's estimated to be around 10000 Sol."

The merchants in the field looked at each other in dismay after hearing this. This is not a small amount. Although the merchants have a lot of money, they don't have much liquidity, and it is difficult to allocate such a huge sum of money in a short time.

Li Peijun seemed a little disappointed, and tilted his head to one side, "I think it can be sold for at least [-] sols."

"Fifty thousand? Impossible, is it worth so much money?" Passant was also amazed after hearing the quotation. Although silk is rare, if converted to [-] soles, just a set of clothes would cost the nobles more than half a year's taxes. , No matter how you say it, it makes people feel a little incredible.

"I'm afraid the nobles around don't have such high purchasing power. I'm afraid selling at such a high price will be unsaleable." Posang has always had first-hand information about the Chamber of Commerce's contacts in various places, and has a certain understanding of the economic situation of the nearby nobles, so he dared to make the purchase. this assertion.

Li Peijun, who insists on the theory that rare goods can be lived in, suggested: "Perhaps we can try to sell them to places farther away, such as Paris, Rome, or Constantinople. There will always be big nobles who can afford the price and have the vision. Don't confine yourself to the neighborhood."

A bottle of water can only be sold for two yuan in the canteen, but it can be sold for ten yuan and 20 yuan in the scenic spot, which is also the reason.

But at the same time, Oulen also expressed his confusion, "If all of them have to be transported to such a long distance, the risk along the way is too high, and the value of this batch of goods is too expensive, so few merchants would be willing to handle them." This business."

Hearing this, Li Peijun also felt that risks and benefits are directly proportional. Now that the situation outside is so chaotic, all eggs cannot be put in one basket.

After adjusting his thinking, Li Peijun added: "Let's say, 60% of the silk is sold in Normandy and Britain, 25% is shipped overland to Rouen and Paris, and the remaining 15% is shipped to the Mediterranean coast."

In order to increase the enthusiasm of businessmen to participate, Li Peijun did not adopt a universal fixed deposit, but directly adopted a proportional share without any entry threshold.

"You don't need to pay any deposit, but I will secretly send someone to supervise the whole process. The profits earned will be divided into [-]% and [-]%. I will share [-]% with you. For everyone here, I will allocate the corresponding silk according to the size of the financial resources. Whoever sells the price will If it is the highest, I will also reward it."

Li Peijun came up with his own plan. This plan was impartial. It not only took care of the interests of big businessmen, but also ensured the development of small businessmen. He didn't care about some gains and losses. Anyway, there was always money to be made.

Posan and Oulun took the lead in expressing their approval. The businessmen below were all happy with what they were getting, and naturally they strongly supported it. The draft charter was passed smoothly.

"By the way, my lord, I heard that you have grown a lot of flowers on the fief, and the output and quality should be acceptable. Why haven't I seen any news of you selling spices?" Possang is also a know-it-all, and he is also keen on possible business opportunities. Hold on.

Upon seeing this, Oulen also echoed: "Yes, yes, Lord Lord, you can take care of us if you have something good to do. The Chamber of Commerce will definitely help you with all your strength to ensure that the products can be sold smoothly."

Li Peijun smiled wryly. In fact, he planned to exchange this batch of spices for some strategic supplies, but seeing their enthusiasm, Li Peijun changed his words: "Which of you will go to Britain recently."

Posang didn't understand why the lord would suddenly ask such a question, and answered truthfully: "The Chamber of Commerce will go to Hastings Port every half month, and it will be the day of departure in two days."

"Then I will entrust you with this batch of spices. After the sales work in Britain is completed, I will purchase some yew and ash wood locally. Animal sinews are also needed in large quantities. The profit sharing is the same as silk. Eight Open two."

"Buy wood? There are many outside the city, why go all the way to Britain to buy it." Possant was even more at a loss.

Li Peijun smiled and said: "There is a kind of weapon made of British wood."
