Jiang Wan's expression suddenly became very exciting, and Wei Zhongxian gave him a strange look: "Why, Fo Langji is not satisfied with the price?"
"Our court's quotation is 150,000 taels of silver..." Jiang Wan said carefully. Wei Zhongxian said he knew about this matter before, and he thought that Wei Zhongxian really knew about this matter. Now it seems that he understands
There is still some gap between "knowing this matter" and "knowing this matter" said by Wei Zhongxian.
"Oh, that's too much!" Wei Zhongxian didn't feel embarrassed at all that he had quoted the wrong price: "Then let's give it 150,000!"
"Father, if Mr. Fo Langji was willing to sell it to our Ming Dynasty for 150,000 taels, he wouldn't have come to see my father-in-law today!" Jiang Wan reminded in a low voice: "What Mr. Fo Langji means is that we can give up the price.
, but Ming Dynasty also needs to think about it!"
"No!" Wei Zhongxian seemed to suddenly react: "Why do we think that you are involved in this matter to get some benefits? If you have no benefits, do you have the right to speak like this for Mr. Fo Langji?"
"Being able to see my father-in-law is already the biggest benefit of the official!" Jiang Wan said without changing her face: "My father-in-law always keeps the important affairs of the country in mind. Naturally, the official will follow my father-in-law and try his best to install these cannons as soon as possible.
Go to Liaodong!"
"Hahahaha!" Wei Zhongxian laughed, pointed at Jiang Wan and said: "Our family has seen a lot of officials who can flatter our family without changing their expression in front of us, but the Tenth Prince's Mansion
As a subordinate officer, you are still the first..."
"I'm just telling the truth!"
Jiang Wan said very sincerely. At least, he felt that the expression on his face must be extremely sincere.
"We don't really believe it!" Wei Zhongxian shook his head and his face suddenly darkened: "Tell those Fo Langji people that two hundred thousand silver is the only amount our Ming Dynasty will pay. If they are not willing to do it, Dongchang will come tomorrow.
, go to them and look for the murderer and mastermind of the Ming Dynasty soldiers who were killed last time. If no one is in charge of such a big thing, if a few Fo Langji people dare to run wild in our Ming Dynasty capital, who will help them?
The courage!
"Yes!" Jiang Wan's heart trembled. After talking to Wei Zhongxian for a long time, he had forgotten that the other party was not a good gentleman. He would often confiscate his family and exterminate his family if he disagreed. This is Wei Zhongxian's normal behavior!
"Go back and tell you, Your Majesty King Xin, that although our family is a little greedy for money, we know the importance and will not be soft on those who should reach out. We will not be soft on those who should not reach out, and our family will not ask for a penny from this imperial court.
We buy cannons to fight the Tartars, and we don’t need a tael of silver in them!"
Wei Zhongxian shook his head slightly: "Okay, that's it!"
"Father, can we give the Fo Langji people some hope!" Jiang Wan said with a smile: "At least let them feel that after this transaction is over, we will have another one, as long as their goods are good enough."
He reminded the other party: "With such a combination of kindness and power, Folangji people will have to weigh it carefully!"
"You can just handle this matter. There is no need to tell our family!" Wei Zhongxian waved his hand: "Don't you scholars like to do this kind of thing the most? Our family doesn't care about this matter!"
Back in the flower hall, Jose and Catherine were still sitting there, Jiang Wan greeted each other and led them out of the Wei Mansion.
It could be seen that these two people were holding back a lot of words, but they could not bear it until they left here before they eagerly asked questions, which showed that they still had awe in their hearts.
"What should I say? Eunuch Wei has not seen us. Then we have given you gifts. Isn't it in vain?"
Catherine's situation was still a little smaller. She felt sorry for the generous gift from her uncle, but Jose was not so petty. He stopped Catherine's questioning and said firmly: "Don't worry, Mr. Jiang will definitely tell you."
Our details!”
"Your gift has allowed you to enter this gate and sit in the living room for more than an hour. It's already worth it!" Jiang Wan didn't give Catherine any face: "As for wanting to see Eunuch Wei, I'm really sorry.
Your status is not enough!"
"Then what does Eunuch Wei think of our trade?"
As expected, Jose didn't care about any of this at all and just asked him the question he was most concerned about.
"Let me tell you Eunuch Wei's views, but you must be prepared. Basically, this is the final decision on this trade. If you cannot accept this decision, I will be very disappointed!"
"Mr. Jiang, please speak!"
Jiang Wanyan stated Wei Zhongxian's meaning directly and concisely. As expected, both Catherine and Jose's expressions suddenly became ugly.
"As for the next trade, Eunuch Wei also said that let's see if the artillery purchased this time can play the role we imagined and whether it is worth the money. If everything goes as expected, then the artillery will be delivered in half a year.
After one year, we can prepare for the next trade!"
Jiang Wan spoke his thoughts unceremoniously through Wei Zhongxian's mouth. Wei Zhongxian heard what he meant anyway, and the two of them could not see Wei Zhongxian.
As for whether there will be this second trade in the future, well, let’s talk about the future later!
"I knew that what that idiot Andre did would affect everyone!" Catherine cursed fiercely: "The Ming people are not partial to us at all, they want to ensure the completion of this trade. If the trade cannot be completed,
Then, the people of Ming Dynasty will not let Andre and others beat people to death!"
"This is not a problem at all!" Jose shook his head: "Although the two hundred thousand silver is far lower than our expectations, if we can continue the next order, we will still have a huge profit!"
The two of them conversed in their native language in low voices, without any worry that Jiang Wan would understand.
"Mr. Jiang!"
After muttering for a while, Jose suddenly spoke: "About the next order, can it be written into our contract this time?"
"This should be possible!" Jiang Wan thought for a while and said seriously.
He silently calculated in his mind that if there is really another batch of orders for these Folangji artillery, it will be at least two years later. And two years later, if nothing unexpected happens, the Ming Dynasty throne will be
The owner has been changed to Zhu Youjian.
With the sharpness of Fo Langji's artillery and Zhu Youjian's emphasis on the Liaodong war, this condition written into the contract may not really become a piece of paper.
"If that's the case, we will consider accepting Eunuch Wei's suggestion!"
Jose said with a solemn face: "Please also ask Mr. Jiang to inform your trade negotiation officials. I hope that this transaction that we have delayed for so long will have a result as soon as possible!"
