The Reborn Wife is Farming

Chapter 941 Negotiation

Andre just asked someone to make a pot of tea. He was very happy to hear that King Rong had gone and returned. Although this prince is good at fighting, he doesn't know how to do business. Sometimes we talk about precious things like cannons. It may not be possible to negotiate for three or four months. He just expressed the meaning that he will leave soon, and the other party hastily agreed to the price. Even he proposed a deposit of 20,000 taels, and the other party also agreed. Can you come now? Could it be to give him a deposit?

Andre said happily: "Please come in."

It was three people who came in.

Seeing Fan Zijin in the lead, Andre shook the tea in his hand, feeling ominous in his heart, he smiled and said, "Why is Master Fan here?"

Seeing the beautiful woman who was half a step behind Qi Haoran, Andre was taken aback for a moment, and quickly got up to salute, "The princess is a rare guest, please take a seat."

Mu Yangling impressed him too deeply, much more than Qi Haoran and Fan Zijin, and Andre didn't want to offend her.

Mu Yangling stood behind Qi Haoran and waited for Andre to salute her before returning half a salute. She smiled and said, "My lord came back and said that he wanted to buy a cannon, and he asked for 50,000 taels. How can I, a woman, know what kind of cannon is?" Long guns, but I, a housewife, don’t care about our master’s affairs, and it happened that my cousin came over, and he knew a little about these things, so he brought us here to see and see.”

Fan Zijin told Mu Yangling emphatically on the carriage that what she wanted to play was an ignorant and domineering woman. Anyway, Qi Haoran's previous verbal agreement with Andre was invalid, and this business had to be re-booked if it was to succeed.

Qi Haoran followed behind Fan Zijin with his head drooping. He is now a cousin who has been scolded by his cousin, and he doesn't care about the rest.

Andre didn't expect the nobles of the Han people to be so shameless. How could it be possible that Princess Rongjun didn't know about cannons and spears? She has personally carried a cannon and has seen its power, and that kind of cannon is a cannon that has been in service in Portugal for more than ten years. How can it be compared with the cannon of England?

The three of them seemed to want to renege on their debts, and Andre quickly re-introduced England and their country's cannons.

He knew that either Fan Zijin or Mu Yangling was the one who made the decision this time, and it couldn't be Qi Haoran anyway, so he only explained to the two of them.

Fan Zijin didn't know much about the countries of these foreigners. He had heard the names of many countries in the past six months, but in fact, in his opinion, they all looked similar, whether they were men or women, they were almost the same in his eyes He really can't tell the difference just by looking at people.

But he also understood from the conversations of foreigners that England is relatively strong among these countries, at least stronger than the countries of Andre and Pedro, and Andre's narration made him understand more clearly England's status and strength among those countries.

In short, although the Portuguese and the Spaniards are the most foreigners who have arrived in Daqi, outside of Daqi, the merchants, soldiers and robbers who roam the sea are mostly English. Andre said that England even There are colonies in the Guli area, and the cannons of their country play an important role in laying down the colonies. In short, England's cannons are very powerful, much more powerful than what they are using now.

Qi Haoran had a strong sense of strategy, before Fan Zijin asked, "Where is Guli?"

Andre obviously also wanted to maintain this business, so he said in detail: "It's on the west coast of India, not far from your place. As long as the route is correct, it can be reached in less than a month."

Qi Haoran and Fan Zijin looked at each other, and their hearts sank. Mu Yangling didn't expect that Britain would go so far ahead. It had already opened its colony to India at this time. However, according to Andre, England also just now Before long, only a small area was occupied there, and India was not completely taken.

Fan Zijin asked calmly: "Since England is so powerful, Mr. An is sure he can get their new cannon?" He said meaningfully: "Zhou De has also inquired about cannons, but he can only ask about the cannons that are in service. ..."

Andre was a little guilty, but said with a smile on his face: "I have other ways..."

Mu Yangling smiled and said: "If I remember correctly, you are a Spaniard, right? I heard that the relationship between your country and England is not good. Under this situation, you can still get England's new cannons. What about your country? Are the armies of our country equipped with their cannons?"

Andre was surprised. He didn't expect Mu Yangling to know this. He was not the only businessman who came to his country. Maybe someone else said it, or maybe it was said by the hateful Portuguese.

Hearing that the relationship between the two countries is not good, Qi Haoran glared at him. If the relationship between the two countries is not good, you can get a new type of cannon?

Is this bullying him, or bullying him?

When the relationship between them and the Kingdom of Jin eased slightly, it would take more than half a year and cost a lot of effort to get a thousand-mile horse from the other party, let alone a heavy cannon that could not move by itself.

Fan Zijin was happy. He knew how to negotiate the business. Everyone knew that the cannon in Andre's hand must not be a new type, but it would definitely be better than the two cannons currently in the army. It was snatched from Pedro's group of pirates, and I don't know how many years ago it was an antique.

After Fan Zijin had a solid idea in mind, the business would be much easier to negotiate.

Andre is a businessman who has been in the sea trade business for 20 years. Although Fan Zijin has been in business for a short time, his experience is not inferior to him. It has been more than ten years since the first business at the age of thirteen. Fan Zijin and Daqi merchants, big and small, have cooperated before, otherwise, last time, Andre would not have been forced to sell the entire shipment.

And Andre is not bad, otherwise Fan Zijin would not have been so excited to go out to sea and meet pirates in person, so the two of them came and went to confront each other, and Mu Yangling and Qi Haoran were completely reduced to sitting with each other. Ling could still help muddle a few sentences, but now she couldn't get in a word.

Qi Haoran kept his mouth shut even more, for fear of delaying his progress by speaking hastily.

The husband and wife looked at each other for a moment, then glared at Andre together, trying to force each other to admit defeat with their eyes.

Andre was not affected by their eyes, but was still forced to retreat by Fan Zijin. Of course, this was Mu Yangling and Qi Haoran's idea, because the price of the cannon had dropped from 50,000 taels to 23,000 taels.

In Andre's view, the price of the cannon is approaching his bottom line step by step. Although he did not lose in this business, the money he earned was much less than expected.

Then, Fan Zijin raised the price for the last time, directly pressing on his bottom line, "Twenty thousand taels, if Mr. An agrees, I can pay the deposit immediately."

Mu Yangling and Qi Haoran looked at Andre with piercing eyes, and Andre's face was still tangled, because they had too many beards, they didn't see any difference, but Fan Zijin, who had been staring at him, saw his pupils Shrinking slightly, Fan Zijin was satisfied, knowing that this was his reserve price, and if he kept pushing down, the business would be ruined.

Fan Zijin took a sip of tea comfortably, and said, "Mr. An, you are not the only Western businessman in Guangzhou, and there is another Pedro on the sea. I heard that he is not only a pirate, but also a Portuguese count. He also does business, I don’t know if he is willing to do this kind of arms business.”
