Although Wang Jing and his group did not deal with Li Er very much, they also did not deal with the imperial army under Li Er. At the same time...
Because the Confucianism of the scholars and the Legalism of the Han people have never been in harmony with each other, they are... basically, they are two groups of people with irreconcilable contradictions. However, time has changed, and now they are engaged in overseas trade.
Wang Jing and others paid more attention to the imperial army stationed in the southeast corner.
If you don't do business, you are a bastard.
So now...
When Zheng Ling mentioned this strange situation, Wang Jing and others were stunned, and they all started to look at each other, exchanging glances with each other.
——What is going on????
The Imperial Guards in the southeast area...they are all a bunch of rough guys, and they always like drinking the most.
Such a group of people have lost interest in the dozens of ships of goods, not to mention caramels, but the price of wine has been greatly reduced, and they have lost interest in wine. This...
For a moment, Wang Jing, Pei Ji and the others felt as if they were playing a rules-based ghost story, not to mention how terrifying it felt.
There is a feeling that I am in the light, but the enemy is in the dark, as if I have encountered a ghost, and it is the feeling of a great monster that one gets when becoming an immortal...
Unknowingly, it climbed onto the scalps of Wang Jing and others.
shudder!
There was obviously no information, but he could clearly sense the high-energy terror ahead.
Everyone looked at each other in confusion, but Zheng Ling did not dare to stop as Wang Jing stared at her with more and more serious eyes, and continued...
"We had no choice but to travel a long way again... Now that we returned to the Tianzhu subcontinent, we were thinking about a deal again... But this time, the local boss not only didn't want wine, but also caramel...
…I’m going to check the color and it seems like the other party doesn’t want it at all.”
When Zheng Ling said this, there was a hint of confusion in his eyes, but his voice paused.
Because at this moment he was not sure how to express...how to tell Wang Jing and others what he exactly meant.
Zheng Ling wanted to say that the situation in the Tianzhu subcontinent was even more bizarre, because even with his far less experience and vision than Wang Jing and Pei Ji, a group of elders and old foxes, he could clearly feel that the people in Mangbaicheng on the subcontinent were not only
Not wanting your own goods is... not a rejection, but a complete lack of need.
It’s not that the other party refuses to buy your goods, but that there is no demand at all!
And this is very unbelievable, or it can be said to be impossible. Who are all the maritime merchants who go to sea in China? They are either small landowners and emperors in the prefectures and counties, which are naturally half-people and half-bandit invisible underworld, or they are
Businessmen and escort agencies who travel thousands of miles are not even invisible. They are definitely underworld.
And those who can take root in the wild lands overseas and build a city there are even more ruthless among the ruthless.
In terms of origin and social composition, this group of people is actually no different from the Forbidden Army in Southeast Asia - in short, the demand for wine overseas is very large.
For maritime merchants who run ships, there is nothing to say. They will bring wine with them every time they go to sea, but for those who set up camps overseas, wine and sugar are very precious.
Bringing wine from the Tang Dynasty is an easy way to think of, but transportation capacity is valuable. It seems reasonable to bring sugar and wine to your own family, but in fact the cost is still expensive - for those who traveled all the way to the sea
As far as the owners are concerned, why not use these transportation capabilities to trade more goods? Therefore, the scale of private consumption from merchant warehouse personnel can be imagined to be relatively large.
In short, due to various factors, the merchants and ports of major overseas shipping merchants are the main target customers for the wine part of Wang Jing and others' business.
but now……
Overseas merchants have lost interest in wine? It’s not that they refuse to buy, but that they simply have no desire to buy.
This is very weird!
However, "surface demand" and "real demand" are things that have a certain level of business theoretical knowledge in later generations. Zheng Ling scratched his head for a while and really didn't know how to express it. But fortunately, Wang Jing understood it at once, and his heart instantly felt.
suspect.
This girl's behavior is indeed abnormal...but what is the specific situation? It's strange...
"My dear nephew, don't pause. I already understand this section. You can continue talking!"
Zheng Lingnuo said "Yeah" and then continued to talk...
"There are no sales in the two ports of Tianzhu. We can only try our luck in the Persian Gulf, but..."
"...We had no choice but to go to Africa again...but...after arriving in Africa, over there...over there..."
Zheng Ling talked about it, and the more he talked about it, the more difficult it became to say it, because the further back the places were, the farther away they were from China and the more barbaric they were, and...even the native chiefs as far away as Africa...
This time, I was not interested in their wine or candies at all!
This made Wang Jing extremely shocked.
Damn it, even the natives of Africa have lost interest? Wait...
Is there something wrong with these malt candies and wine that the dogs won’t even eat? No way...
Wang Jing turned his head and looked at these ships. The drafts of each ship were still very deep.
There is no doubt that the goods are all intact inside.
At this time, Pei Ji also noticed that just when Wang Jing asked Zheng Ling about the situation of his overseas trade, the large group of ships entering the port became more and more conspicuous on the sea. There were already many shipwrights and sailors on the dock in Hangzhou.
The nearby tourists and merchants also noticed it.
However, while Pei Ji was confused, he didn't guess anything. After all, Wang Jing was still asking about Zheng Ling in front of him.
The most important thing is what to do with the goods this time, and why these goods suddenly lose their market completely when sold overseas...
But at this time, Zheng Ling had basically finished talking. He still couldn't sell anything in Africa, which was already close to the end of the world.
If you don't even have foodies in Africa, what else can you sell elsewhere? Then you can imagine that this business is out of business, it's hopeless...
Wang Jing took a deep breath, patted the frightened Zheng Ling, and signaled to the younger generation not to be discouraged by setbacks.
In my heart, I wished I could just punch each of these bastards.
On this trip to sea, more than 40 large ships were packed with cargo. As a result, apart from a bumpy journey, I didn’t bring back any information. The only bit of information I had was up to my reasoning...
However, although Wang Jing was a little disappointed, there was nothing else to do now. He could only pack up all the goods and wait for a long-term plan.
Finally, Wang Jing also glanced at the numerous ships coming from the sea, which was not common in Hangzhou at this season.
