Wang Hongping heard that two Hu businessmen wanted to discuss cooperation, so she put down her work and came to the rest area.
"Hello, I am the shopkeeper of Xingsheng Trading Company. My surname is Wang. I heard that you want to discuss cooperation with us, right?"
"Hello, Shopkeeper Wang, we do have this idea when we come here. The people of the Caliphate like the culture of the Tang Dynasty very much, and they also like the sugar here. I came here with my caravan thousands of miles away, just to ask for this product and bring it to
Selling in my hometown," Harris replied.
"Thank you for your love for our Xingsheng Trading Company. I wonder what kind of cooperation you want to seek?"
"I heard that you have a distributor cooperation model here. I wonder if we can follow this model?" Oris had obviously done some research and spoke out his demands in a leisurely manner.
"Our dealer, Sir, said that we will only operate in Chang'an and several surrounding counties for the time being, so this cooperation model may disappoint you." Wang Hongping smiled apologetically and rejected this cooperation model.
The reason why distributors only operate around Chang'an is mainly because Zhang San has some preferential treatment for these distributors, one of which is that he can get the goods at half price every time, and after all the goods are sold, the subsequent payment will be made up.
In order to avoid bad debts, Zhang San only operates in places around him, which makes it easier to collect money.
"Shopkeeper Wang, we caliphs are very honest in doing business. I can swear to Allah." Oris obviously did not give up. In order to show his sincerity, he still swore an oath.
But Wang Hongping doesn't believe this. I've never heard of the caliphate you mentioned, so naturally I can't agree to it.
"I'm sorry, our lordship has said it before, and I dare not go against it." Wang Hongping refused again.
"Shopkeeper Wang, we have a lot of goods coming in. We need at least 8,000 guan of goods. If we can cooperate, your products can be exported to the Caliphate in the future. There are countless people there and they will bring you countless money."
Reese said seductively.
"Haha, with all due respect, the distributor cooperation model is impossible. After all, we don't know you. Since you are very optimistic about our sugar, why not buy it directly. I can make the decision and give you a preferential price." Wang Hongping
smiled.
"Shopkeeper Wang, to be honest, when we came to Chang'an this time, we encountered trouble on the road. Many goods were damaged and looted. Therefore, our current money cannot pay for the goods we want, but we are indeed very poor.
I want to bring your candy back to the Caliphate so that the people of the Caliphate can also eat such delicious candy." Seeing that Wang Hongping would not let go, Oris had no choice but to say miserably.
"Actually, you can buy less goods. After all, it's a long way and it's inconvenient for you to bring so much sugar back. After you go back, you can take the opportunity to see if our sugar is popular with you. If the sales are good, you can buy it.
Come back again, our store is here and we won’t move.”
"Shopkeeper Wang, you also know that it is not easy for a businessman like us to go back and forth. If the goods imported are too few, it will definitely be difficult to recover the original cost. So please see if you can be accommodating, or take me to see your lord, I will come
What about talking to him?"
Wang Hongping saw that what Oris said seemed to be right, so she said: "Our lord is not here, so be it. I think you are indeed sincere. I will ask someone to take you to our lord, can we negotiate?
It’s up to you.”
"Thank you, Shopkeeper Wang. When will we leave?" Oris asked impatiently.
"It's probably too late today. Let's do this. If you come here tomorrow morning, I'll have someone take you there." Wang Hongping said after looking at the sky.
"Okay, then I'll have shopkeeper Lao Wang, and I'll come back tomorrow." After Oris said this, he said goodbye to Wang Hongping and walked out.
"Zhang Shun, you've worked hard. Go back and talk to the Lord today and see what he means. If you want to see him, I will ask someone to take him there tomorrow." Wang Hongping found Zhang Shun and said.
On the same day, Zhang Shun brought the news to Zhang San. After Zhang San pondered for a while, he thought it would be better to meet him. If the trade route to Arabia could be opened, it would be of great benefit to Xingsheng Trading Company.
Zhang Shun rushed to Xingsheng Trading Company early in the morning and informed Wang Hongping of the Lord's opinion. In the morning, Wang Hongping asked Zhang Jinfeng to take Oris to Zhangjiacun.
Oris came alone this time. He followed Zhang Jinfeng to the Earl's Mansion. After seeing Zhang San, he enthusiastically shouted: "Dear Earl, I am Oris of the Caliphate. It is an honor to meet you."
Zhang San saw the bearded Oris, holding a big box, and guessed that this man should be from the Middle East, the land of West Asia. Regarding this caliphate, Zhang San, if he guessed correctly, it should be founded by Mohammed.
The theocratic Arab empire.
This was also a super empire in the world at that time.
"Welcome guests from far away, please take a seat." Zhang San replied with a smile.
"Dear Earl, this is a gift I brought from my hometown. It is a kind of pumpkin brought back by one of my uncles who went out to do business. It is dedicated to you. I wish your lord a long life and happiness!"
Zhang San had heard of watermelons, pumpkins, and cucumbers, but he had never heard of gold melons. He thought it was a melon made of pure gold, and happily took the big box.
Then I opened it and took a look, and suddenly I wasn’t interested anymore. I was in a relationship for a long time and it was just a pair of pumpkins!
What Zhang San disliked eating the most in his previous life was pumpkin, and he looked a little uncomfortable.
Oris also seemed to notice that Zhang San didn't like this gift, and quickly explained: "Dear Earl, this pumpkin is golden in color, graceful and majestic, just like the Earl, luxurious and elegant!"
When Zhang Sanyi heard Oris's explanation, his nose almost became crooked with anger, thinking that you look like a Japanese melon.
Suddenly, Zhang San remembered that he was in the Tang Dynasty, and this thing was rare to see in a hundred years, especially since the output of pumpkins far exceeded that of potatoes.
But it seems like this thing also appeared on the American continent, right?
If these pumpkins were cultivated in Zhangjiacun, then... Zhang San became more and more excited as he thought about it. Looking at this pumpkin again was like seeing a beautiful woman, and he couldn't put it down.
"I like this gift very much. Do you still have such a thing? If so, I can buy it with money, or I can exchange it with you for whatever you like." Zhang San asked.
Seeing that Zhang San seemed to like this pumpkin very much, Oris secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He brought one of this thing himself. He originally wanted to find a curious businessman to sell it in exchange for some money, but now that he had something to ask for, he had nothing to ask for.
Those who could take it out offered the pumpkin as a gift to Zhang San.
"I'm sorry, Lord Count, I only have this pair. If I had any, I would definitely dedicate them to you." Oris apologized.
"Oh, forget it, do you have many pumpkins there?" Zhang San thought that since they found pumpkins, they should have planted a lot of them.
"Your Excellency, the Earl, is joking. We don't have this thing there. My uncle got it from doing business overseas. There are only four of them, and these two were given to me by my uncle." Oris explained quickly, not wanting to let Zhang San
If you think there are a lot of these things, then they lose their value as gifts.
Zhang Sanyi was immediately happy when he heard it. He didn't know the value of this thing!
