Chapter 293: Venice scroll (9) when Huang Xuan sees Sandro, it is as if he saw an animal with countless ivory and rhinoceros horn, carrying a thick piece of art on its back, and sheep''s fur floating in the sky as the background
With a sincere smile, huang xuan gave Sandro a smile and said, "Praise god
It''s great to see you on such a bright morning
"" Me too
" Sandro wiped Huang Xuan with his beard, then looked at li shenggang and said," this is yours
"" This is my housekeeper, Antonio
" Huang xuan just gave li sheng a name that didn''t have a" sex" in it
Li Shenggang was disguised as a 40-year-old peddler with a high nose and deep eyes, and some of his hair was blown" messy
" Using physical changes instead of eye disguises was also a consideration of energy consumption
With the right to review, Li Shenggang could also receive preferential treatment from an italian translator
He heard Huang Xuan introduce him, bent down like a man behind Sandro, and said," hello, Mr
Sandro
" Sandro smiled and nodded
He looked in the direction of the dock and said," is Mr
Cosa waiting for your fleet
"" The fastest team has arrived and returned with the goods
" Huang xuan gave himself a reason for not having a fleet and pointed at li shenggang with a smile
" Antonio came with the fleet
I asked him to stay and deal with some accounting problems
"" That''s great
" Sandro praised sincerely, then said," Mr
Cosa''s needs for wool and wool, I asked my friends around me, and finally I would like to introduce you to this gentleman
" As he spoke, he moved away a little
Standing behind him was a tall man in a noble" uniform
" Sandro raised his voice
He had the feeling of introducing guests in the banquet hall
" Mr
Joseph Medici of the Medici family
" He was really surprised
The Medici family was the king of Florence, and half of the renaissance was funded by the Medici family
Michelangelo, Da Vinci, galileo, these names were written in the Medici family''s catalog, and the patron of the san marco library, old corse, was also Medici Joseph
Medici shook hands with huang xuan with a little arrogance and said," if it''s convenient, can we go and see your goods now
"" Of course
" Huang Xuan''s smile was brilliant
Compared to the huge profits that ivory might bring, the stable profits of sheep''s fur could be quite exciting
At this point, Huang Xuan had some regrets - this was an unsatisfied regret
If it was the end of the 16th century, or a few years later, as long as he got some famous paintings from the fingers of the Medici family, it would be hundreds of millions of dollars when he returned home, which was because many of the works remained so far, and there was no way to sell them
Li Shenggang was a hardworking man, especially when the boss was around
His legs were like those made in Kenya
He could walk 24 hours a day and rest
When he heard huang xuan comply with the request of the two italians, he immediately ran two steps forward and opened the warehouse that had just passed by
Full of wheat flowed down the door of the warehouse, which was also because Nick was too honest and filled the warehouse with food
A skinny man behind Sandro floated out of the crevices, picked up two grains of wheat from the ground, and chewed them in his mouth
Huang Xuan looked at him and laughed
Plane r was not a high level plane, but the standard food that people produced must be very standard
At least the appearance and normal nutrients were much better than the standards of the fifteenth century european production
Food was a product added by nutritionists and given to the venetians, they could not recognize it
The little skinny man was about to eat the whole grain of wheat before he took a puff and spat out what was left
He smiled and nodded at Sandro
This was the difference between the venetians and the europeans of the same period
The pre-renaissance europeans were honest
According to the 21st century, that was what they said
If they were also british businessmen, it would be good, bad or bad at this moment, and they would say it out loud, but there was something right between this skinny man and Sandro
Joseph had no other reaction
It seemed that this was also the General purpose model of Venice businessmen
Sandro rubbed his hands, wiped away the cold morning, and said," how much wheat did Mr
Cosa have this time
" Clicking on the energy screen, Nick listed all the remaining supplies and release materials in the plane space
This time, more than 200,000 tons of wheat were delivered, and 7
7 million for the bushels
He gave a slight discount and said," about 7
5 million bushels
Thank you
" Joseph was expressionless, and Sandro was obviously surprised
He used Huang Xuan''s so-called tens of millions of bushels as a pretext
After all, from the perspective of this era, a large genoese merchant ship could carry 20,000 bushels of wheat, which was already very good
After all, there were only a few ships carrying 800 tons of cargo, and more people were using 200 tons of cargo, but even the former, which Huang Xuan referred to as 7
5 million bushels, required more than 300 large merchant ships to transport it
300 Large genoese merchant ships were a terrible number
If any merchant owned 300 large merchant ships, how could Sandro merchant know nothing about them
However, Sandro did not put his disbelief on his face
It was impossible for him to think that there would be such a thing as Lorraine in the world
In fact, he would rather believe that this was the food that Huang Xuan had long existed in Venice
For some reason, he might not be able to trade with a wider Chamber of commerce, or with the british
The patience and the ability to take risks of Venice businessmen were unimaginable by the later generations of multinational corporations, and this was also determined by the times - even if the property of the 10,000 King Ducat lost three-fifths, or even four-fifths, of the reputable Venice businessmen
He could also do business on the commercial credit of 10,000 King Ducat, and countless banks were willing to lend to him
In genoa, the lowest rate of inter-industry lending was once as low as 1
5 %, one-third of wall street in the 21st century, and for businessmen without credit
Usury rates often exceed 15 % a month
Just like all the businessmen in this era who didn''t follow the rules, Sandro liked some things that were kept in the dark
He shook hands with huang xuan and said," are they all here
"" There are still some in the south
" Huang Xuan shrugged
In order to hire these warehouses, he spent all the 600 King Ducat in his hands, which was enough to buy a warship
" Roberto, go and take a look at this Mr
Antonio
" Sandro took a deep breath and touched the ground with his heel
He smiled and said," Mr
Medici, Mr
Cosa, can we find a place nearby to talk
" He nodded his head in a reserved manner
The canal in Venice city is very busy, and there is a very special place in it
The phenomenon of" tide" is not obvious
This characteristic makes the ships not collide with the coast because of the waves, so the ships can be unloaded directly on the wharf
In the early days of its development, these efficiency improvements are quite useful
Behind Sandro and the others was a large boat with a single paddle
Although it looked very small, it was already the limit in terms of size in the Venice canal
There were about a hundred people sitting on the upper and lower floors, and several servants were waiting
Not at all
He just told Nick" teach Li Shenggang the energy screen and history" and got on the boat
He thought that with Li Shenggang''s cowardice, he should be an ignorant master
He was wrong
Although Li Shenggang didn''t have a deep education, he was still an educated person
He was just a bit obscene, a bit bad, and his outlook on life, world and values were distorted
Besides these mistakes, he was still the top few in the county middle school examination, and later tried to learn from history
He just didn''t make any noise
Educated people who make a fuss are those who shower on distorted world views and then produce and sell themselves
Li Shenggang was barely one
Sandro was too enthusiastic at this time
He personally pulled out a chair for Huang Xuan and waited for Huang Xuan to sit down before saying," Mr
Cosa, what are your thoughts now
" Seeing that no one from Petro Chamber of commerce came, he knew that Sandro wanted to eat his own food, but this Medici family member was somewhat inexplicable
He thought of this with a smile on his face and said: "One million bushels, sixty thousand gold Ducat
This is the price we agreed on before
If Mr
Sandro doesn''t object, then we''ll pay the same price
" The red and white rose families pinched each other, and the merchants of Venice who had emerged from the psychological trauma of the destruction of byzantium were overjoyed
The powerful republic of Venice was not what half imagined
It was just a commercial city
It was an urban regime that occupied the most colonies in the mediterranean
It had the largest arsenal, shipyard and the only transparent glass factory in the world at that time
War could bring them too many benefits
The most direct benefit, of course, is the mutual benefit
Among them, the food trade had already begun to be vigorous
In Venice, where the futures market was still in its infancy, the price of food had been rising all the way, breaking through the barrier of one million bushels and 70,000 gold Ducat
After all, in this era, the war was far from over in a few years, and the british proved with a real 100-year war that England could support a third-generation arms dealer
It was fair to say that he was still willing to trade with a million bushels and 60,000 gold Ducat
Joseph of the Medici family also looked up at Huang Xuan
A trustworthy businessman was always worthy of praise
How did he know that Huang Xuan was just too short of time and unwilling to give birth to more branches
Sandro happily agreed to Huang Xuan''s price, then took out a list and handed it to huang xuan
" Mr
Cosa, look at our price
If you buy a lot, we can lower the price
" He had some intention of returning the favor to li
