The arrival of these foreigners made Qi Yu very confused.
In fact, I still can't figure it out.
At this moment, Tan Junyan suddenly came up and said to him quietly: "Sir, these foreigners have come to Qiongzhou to do business. They have lived here for many days and are waiting for you to receive me when you come back."
Woolen cloth."
Oh, it turns out they are businessmen.
Qi Yu nodded after hearing this, and then asked: "Guangling, do you know which country they are from?"
Tan Junyan hurriedly replied: "According to what these people claim, they are from the romantic Kingdom of Valois, and they are from the same hometown as our senior engineer Mahan."
Tsk tsk~~~
This country is extremely rich.
If you do business with them, why worry about not making money?
Well, this is a premium customer.
Tan Junyan saw that the master's eyes were flickering, thinking that it was difficult to make a decision, so he asked: "Do you want to see these foreigners? Or do you not want to see them?"
"See you! Of course I want to see you! And we'll see you soon!" Qi Yu said without thinking.
Yes, they came over to give money on their own initiative, so how could I not welcome them actively?
You must know that this is the first time that foreign businessmen have been attracted in a real sense. This will have a good promotion effect on future business expansion and must not be dealt with lightly.
On a larger scale, now that the sea ban has been opened, we must try to make good use of it, otherwise it will be a waste of resources.
However, this also happens to show that the current Qiongzhou already has a little influence, otherwise, it would not have attracted this group of ghosts who are keen on business opportunities.
This is a good phenomenon.
…
Half an hour later, Qi Yu formally received the merchants from the Valois Kingdom headed by Lebre in the reception hall of Qiongzhou Government Office.
Since this is Mr. Qi's second time meeting foreign guests, he is quite experienced and is no longer as stiff as when he met Andre.
I have to say that China is a world-famous country of etiquette, so how can we lack etiquette?
So Mr. Qi personally went out to welcome him and treated him as a distinguished guest.
"Come here, serve tea!"
"yes!"
Lebre was stunned when he saw it, and thought to himself: The gentle and hospitable Mr. Qi now is, which is very different from the ferocious cruelty that Andre said. Could it be that the devils of Great Britain are deliberately trying to trick me?
Andre: I kindly reminded you, but you treated me like a donkey, huh!
Donkey: What does it have to do with me?
Back to business.
After some courtesy and pleasantries, Lebre solemnly expressed his strong desire to propose trade contacts.
In this regard, Qi Yu neither vetoed nor agreed decisively, but 'cross-examined' him intentionally or unintentionally. After careful analysis, he concluded that this ghost guy was indeed a cargo merchant and did not come here.
Those with evil intentions.
In this case, he is the real God of Wealth.
"Come here, serve some good tea!"
"yes!"
…
After chatting for a while, Qi Yu put down his teacup and asked Lebre, "I wonder what kind of goods you want to trade?"
This is a question that is easy to answer, but unexpectedly, the foreign businessman was hesitant and unable to answer it.
In the end, he had no choice but to reply awkwardly: "I can't name that thing."
oh?
Don’t know what you want to buy or sell?
Qi Yu immediately turned into Zhang Er and couldn't help but touch his own head.
Seeing this, Tan Junyan hurriedly stepped forward and explained: "Sir Qi, the purpose of this foreigner's coming here is to do some practical inspections, and there is no very clear purpose. A few days ago, after diligent inspection to no avail, he
So he sent a gift to your brother-in-law Sun Dacai... ahem, so he learned that tiger balm is a hugely profitable product in trade, and it has been very popular in Annan, and he also wants to learn from it. "
"In addition, he also saw a novel product at today's Mazu event, and his interest was aroused... This item was none other than the cheongsam worn by Mrs. Zun and Miss Yin.
"
oh……
So that's what happened...
It makes sense to resell Tiger Balm, but why are you interested in cheongsam? Could it be that Europe, as big as this, can't make many decent clothes?
Not to mention, Qi Yu really guessed it right this time.
Indeed, it cannot be done.
Lebre explained: "Dear Mr. Qi, I am not afraid of your ridicule. As for the exquisite cheongsam worn by your wife, it is really impossible to imitate it in our country or neighboring countries!" After sighing, he continued: "As we all know,
China's trade with foreign countries mainly includes three major products, namely, silk, porcelain and tea. However, among these three major products, silk has always ranked first, and it has never changed in ancient and modern times. It is for this reason that the western regions of your country
The trade route was called the Silk Road. From this, it is not difficult to guess that our weaving technology in Europe is indeed backward. In terms of current skills, it is indeed impossible to make such beautiful clothes."
This is also true.
As the saying goes, an inch is long and a foot is short. No country in the world can lead in all aspects. Even these old empires with developed military industries cannot do everything. Therefore, they cannot create
It makes perfect sense to have nice-looking clothes.
If we look at it from another perspective, this also proves that China’s weaving technology is indeed not just a fake, but is truly renowned at all times and at home and abroad.
Back to business.
The time for tea has passed...
"Master Qi, do you agree to my trade request?"
"Of course I agree! Haha, we Chinese people have always advocated that everyone make money together. How can I monopolize the way to make money and not share it with you?"
oh?
Haha, this is really great!
Lebre was overjoyed and said hurriedly: "Don't worry, sir, I will definitely live up to your expectations and make this trade bigger and stronger, so that European women will be obsessed with cheongsam, while men will love tiger oil."
I love you?
What do you mean?
oh, I get it!
Isn’t there a tiger’s head engraved on the porcelain bottle that packages Tiger Balm?
I love tiger oil, there is nothing wrong with that...
However, what he said in his words, letting men only love tiger oil is a bit extreme.
I said, you kid, don’t you think of it as the ‘Tianzhu Divine Oil’? If you apply it there, I guarantee that you, ahem, will be weak and boneless for the rest of your life...
Tsk, we don’t worry about that!
Qi Yu smiled and suddenly said: "Oh, by the way, Mr. Lebre, when you return to the Kingdom of Valois, can you help me bring my family here?"
"Of course, please tell me who it is."
"They are the wife and children of your fellow countryman Mahan..."
Yes, Qi Yu personally promised Lao Ma this matter. Now that he has an opportunity, how can he miss it?
Why not take advantage of some favors?
good!
…
After seeing off Lebre, Tan Junyan had a private conversation with Qi Yu.
"Sir, such handsome and elegant new clothes should first meet the needs of the women in mainland China, but why do you give priority to supplying Western goods instead of subsidizing your own family?"
"Haha, I have my own reason for doing this."
Upon hearing this, Tan Junyan hurriedly made a request for advice, cupped his hands and said: "Please give me some advice."
"Well, Guangling, listen to me..." Qi Yu stood with his hands behind his hands and said seriously while pacing: "The clothes you wear are not only daily needs, but also a manifestation of culture. What kind of ethnic groups wear them?"
What kind of shirt you wear, what kind of words you say, what kind of rituals you do, these things are all culture!"
"This... Yan still doesn't understand something."
"To tell you the truth, I have always had a big and unrealistic idea in my heart, that is, I want people all over the world to wear my Chinese clothes, speak my Chinese language, and follow my Chinese beliefs; everywhere,
They are all proud of our Chinese culture." Qi Yu looked forward to it for a while, then continued: "Just now, I just happened to have this good opportunity to sell my Chinese clothing culture overseas, how could I not take care of it?
Fan?"
Tan Junyan basically understood it, but he only barely understood it.
There was no way, this topic was too big and beyond his scope of cognition.
I don’t understand, it’s completely normal.
In fact, for Qi Yu, this matter is just a hit with a date. Even if it fails, nothing will be lost.
Well, okay, that's it for now, there are other things to do now.
What's going on?
Now, it's time to explore the big fish we caught.
So, the two of them went to the execution room of the government office together.
On the way, Tan Junyan once said that Leng Qing actually recognized the big fish in the prison. However, she refused to reveal the reasons and did not participate in it in any form. She only said that everything came together.
If one person makes the decision, the cause and effect relationship will have nothing to do with her.
oh?
Qi Yu was stunned when he heard this!
What kind of "big fish" is this that can actually make a cold-blooded internal guard feel grudge?
Forget it, I'll just get to know him properly and see who he is.
