Huang xuan''s first business in Spitsbergen was very successful


    He traded 20,000 pounds of wheat for 60,000 pounds of whale meat


    In the unit he was familiar with, he traded 10 tons of wheat for 30 tons of whale meat


    If he did not take into account the energy consumption and risk in the plane, such a deal would be the best


    At about 12 pm, Huang Xuan''s stall began to be surrounded, and more and more shipowners heard the news


    The whale guts that had been abandoned in the port dump were also picked up, but because of the inconvenience of land transportation in the green port, the transaction was extremely slow


    Mainly by selling spices, Huang Xuan already had cash worth 3000 Florin, which could buy 600 manhattan islands in america


    Many shipowners took note of these small, light, and expensive items


    They were more willing to return to europe with spices in one cabin than to leave all the whale oil and convert into food


    Many of them believed that in europe this year, the price of whale oil would definitely rise, and huang xuan was an insider who knew the news


    However, this did not affect the other parts of the whale he purchased


    The merchants had their own judgment and were happy to sell the whale meat, as well as the whale bones and viscera to Huang Xuan


    These parts were supposed to be thrown into the sea


    It would take another 50 years before they could ship them to europe and find a way to make use of them


    But 400 years later, the textbooks were good, and the whales were full of treasures


    Its internal organs are rich in vitamins, and the price in the new century is far higher than that of whale oil


    Whale bones and whale whiskers are good raw materials for handicrafts


    Therefore, under the principle of getting what they need, the transaction went smoothly


    Several warehouses that went straight to the port were rented at 100 Florin prices to disguise as ships


    Every time a deal was made, Lorraine would place the required quantity of goods in one of the warehouses


    Huang xuan only needed to show the goods to the other party


    After the goods were paid off, there was no need to take care of them until the other party finished moving them


    This method was safe and effective, and huang xuan only needed to hide it for three days


    As for the later suspicions, they put it in the x file


    However, the speed of doing so was very slow, and it seemed that tonight needed to be spent in the extreme daylight


    The wooden door opened and closed rhythmically, and the creaking noise made Hu An anxious


    As a spanish businessman, this was his third year in svalbard


    Before that, he had bought and sold iron cannons in hamburg and wool in london


    He was familiar with european business and was proud of his clear judgment


    However, the lack of funds made this judgment almost ironic


    Hu An wanted to keep the stock in Huang Xuan''s hands, especially the refined white sugar


    The barbarians in front of him only cared about the wheat and spices


    Although the quality of the food was good and the price was cheap, Hu An knew that the real value was the white sugar


    With the current technology in europe, it was difficult for sugar to reach enough sweetness


    Of course, brown sugar and even black sugar had already satisfied them, but Hu An believed that the nobles would definitely like sugar that was whiter, thinner and sweeter


    After Huang Xuan had made a deal with a french man, he grabbed him and said, "Mr


    Fei Lipu, I have informed the fleet that they will arrive in three days


    We can deal in cash


    If you wait for three days, I will be willing to buy all your goods at the price of 12 Florin per thousand pounds


    He shook his head apologetically and said: " Mr


    Hu An, I can''t wait three days


    "He was telling the truth, but Hu An thought it was an excuse


    Sailors are the most patient


    They can wait a year for a monsoon


    They can''t wait three days


    They can''t even prepare food and fresh water for a boat


    A portuguese pushed Hu An away


    When he saw Huang Xuan busy in the crowd, he could only stomp his feet and leave


    Wei Lu Wei sat quietly in his chair, his elbows flat on the armrest as if he were a nobleman


    A few of his men stood on one side and focused their eyes on the table


    There was a handful of sugar on the table


    It allowed people to take the goods from the stalls as samples at will


    Of course, only the well-dressed shipowners or merchants could do so


    Big nose stuck a few pieces of white sugar in his mouth, smashed his mouth a few times, and then put a few more


    Sugar was commonly obtained in europe along with the conquest of the american continent


    Before that, the price of sugar could be equivalent to gold, and the europeans even used it as medicine


    But in the 17th century, many wealthy citizens could also get sugar


    However, it could never be as sweet as modern white sugar


    For a child born after the 1990s, white sugar might not be sweet at all


    They were already used to sugars with higher sweetness, such as fruit sugar


    However, for europeans who still feel extravagant eating brown sugar, white sugar almost represents an advanced technology


    " It''s really sugar


    "The big nose licked his lips with his tongue and said," it''s much better than the sugar we produce


    "" Could it be a new domestic product


    "The tangerine also tasted a few sugars and said," maybe a lot has been produced in china, otherwise how could it be sold to svalbard


    "" Maybe not a lot


    "Another tall dutchman joined the discussion


    Wei Lu Wei still sat there, listening to his men''s speculations


    Governor general, the East India Company, is a very powerful person, but this theory is not widely used in the world, such as svalbard


    In history, there were several organizations named East India Company


    Of course, the most famous was the british East India Company


    In the 17th century, the Dutch East India Co was competing fiercely with the spanish and portuguese for the dominance of svalbard


    At present, Holland has the advantage


    In a few decades, the dutch will completely monopolize the whaling industry in the arctic


    But so far, Wei Lu Wei has not dared to slack off at all


    It would cost thousands or even more gold coins to buy the food in people''s hands


    Without that money, what would the company use to buy whale oil


    Whale oil is a strategic material


    Is there going to be a war


    Thinking of this, wei lu sat up and said anxiously," are there any people from home or europe recently


    "" Psyche just arrived last month


    What''s wrong


    "The big nose was a little strange


    " What about the domestic situation


    What about europe


    "" Everything is fine


    "Big nose took a breath and said," except for the british, without them, everything in europe is peaceful


    "" The british


    "Wei Lu Wei chewed on the name gently


    He liked to do this, just like the earl of his hometown, but everyone who knew him knew that although there was a model before the name of van hogg Wei Lu Wei, he was not a nobleman


    Perhaps when svalbard became the territory of Holland, Only then could he obtain the title of nobility


    " Lord Governor general


    "Wei Lu Wei regained his senses and put his elbow down from the armrest


    He stood up on the table and said," Kerry, we also need to take whale oil at last year''s cif european price


    "" What about these


    "His big nose pointed at the white sugar and food on the table


    Wei Lu Wei swept it off the table in disgust and said," we must first ensure the supply of whale oil to the country


    Let the spaniards buy these things
