Time Smuggling Starting from the Year 2000

When he arrived at Sandro, Huang Xuan seemed to see a head with countless ivory and rhinoceros, a heavy artwork on his back, and wool fluttering in the sky as the background.

With a sincere smile, Huang Xuan gave Sandro a smile and said, "Praise God, it's so 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, "Is this yours?"

"This is my housekeeper, Antonio." Huang Xuan gave Li Shenggang a name that had no personality.

Li Shenggang was dressed as a 40-year-old businessman, with a high nose and deep eyes, and a bit of hair. Instead of using line-of-sight camouflage but using real objects to change, energy consumption is also considered.

After obtaining the review authority, Li Shenggang could also receive preferential treatment as an Italian translator. Hearing Huang Xuan's introduction, he bent down like a man behind Sandro and said, "Hello, Mr. Sandro."

Sandro nodded with a smile, looked in the direction of the pier, and said, "Is Mr. Kosa waiting for your fleet?"

"The fastest team has arrived and returned with the goods." Huang Xuan found himself a reason for not having a fleet, pointed at Li Shenggang with a smile and said, "Antonio came with the fleet, I asked him to stay Come down to deal with some accounting issues."

"That's great." Sandro praised sincerely, and then said: "Mr. Xhosa's demand for wool and woolen fabrics, I asked my friends around me, and finally I would like to introduce this gentleman to you." He said Step aside a little, standing behind him is a tall guy in a noble "uniform". Sandro raised his voice, as if introducing guests in a banquet hall, and said: "Mr. Joseph Medici, from the Medici family."

Huang Xuan was indeed surprised.

The Medici family was the king of Florence, and half of the country during the Renaissance was funded by the Medici family. Michelangelo, Da Vinci, Galileo. These names are written in the catalog of the Medici family, and Corsi the Elder, patron of the San Marco Library. His surname is also Medici.

Joseph Medici shook hands with Huang Xuan with a little arrogance. Said: "If it is convenient, can we go and see your goods now?"

"Of course." Huang Xuan smiled brightly. Compared with the huge profits that ivory might bring, the stable income of wool can also make people quite excited.

At this time, Huang Xuan felt a little regretful again - this was a kind of unsatisfactory regret. If it was the end of the 16th century, or a few years later, he would just sew famous paintings from the fingers of the Medici family. It's hundreds of millions of dollars when I go home. This is because many works have survived to this day and cannot be sold.

Li Shenggang is a hardworking person, especially when the boss is around, his legs seem to be from Kenya, and he can walk 24 hours a day without resting. Hearing Huang Xuan's two wishes, he immediately ran two steps forward, The warehouse just passed opened.

The full amount of wheat flowed down the warehouse door, which is why Nick was too honest. A warehouse is full of grain.

A thin man behind Sandro floated out from the gap between the people, picked up two grains of wheat from the ground, and chewed them twice in his mouth. Huang Xuan looked at him with joy, the r plane is not considered a high-level position However, the standard food produced by others must be very standard, at least the appearance and normal nutritional content are much higher than those produced by Europeans in the 15th century. The food food is a nutritionist. \u003cProduct, given to Venice People, they don't recognize them either.

The little skinny man almost ate the whole grain of wheat, just took a mouthful, spit out what was left, and nodded to Sandro with a smile on his face.

This is the difference between the Venetians and the Europeans of the same period. The Europeans before the Renaissance were quite honest. According to the 21st century, they said what they said. If they are also British people who are doing business, at this moment, good is good and bad is not good, and they will say it out, but between the thin man and Sandro, there seems to be some signs of mutual agreement.

Joseph next to him didn't have any other reactions. It seems that this is also the general pattern of Venetian merchants. Sandro rubbed his hands to get rid of the coldness in the morning, and said, "How much wheat does Mr. Xhosa have here this time?"

Huang Xuan clicked on the energy screen, and saw that Nick listed all the remaining materials and released materials in the plane space. This time, the wheat sent was as much as 200,000 tons. He discounted it for bushels and said, "About 750 bushels thank you."

Joseph didn't show any expression, and Sandro was obviously a little surprised. He only used Huang Xuan's so-called tens of millions of bushels as an excuse. After all, according to the point of view of this era, a large Genoese merchant ship can carry 2 bushels The wheat is already very good. After all, there are only a few ships with a load capacity of 800, and people are more likely to use 200 loads. But even for the former, the 750 bushels that Huang Xuan refers to need 300 large merchant ships. transportation.

The ship, how could the Sandro firm know nothing about it, but Sandro did not put his disbelief on his face, and 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 it was Huang Xuan's food that had existed in Venice long ago, because for some reason, it might be inconvenient for him to trade with the wider chamber of commerce, or with the British.

The tolerance and risk-taking ability of the Venetian merchants is unimaginable for later generations of multinational corporations, which is also determined by the times-a reputable Venetian merchant, even if 10,000 gold ducats lose two-thirds of their property, or even Three out of five, he can also do business with a commercial credit of 10,000 gold ducats, and countless banks are willing to lend to him. In Genoa, the lowest interest rate for lending in the same industry was once as low as 1.5, which is the peak of Wall Street in the 21st century. One-third, while usury rates often exceed fifteen per month for uncredited merchants.

Just like all the unruly businessmen in this era, Sandro really likes some secretive things, so he shook hands with Huang Xuan again, 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 Ducats in his hand, which is enough to buy a warship.

"Roberto, go and see this Mr. Antonio." Sandro took a deep breath, touched the ground with his heels, and said with a smile: "Mr. Medici, Mr. Xhosa, let's find a place nearby How about we talk?"

Huang Xuan nodded reservedly.

The canals in the city of Venice are busy, and it has a very special feature, that is, the tide phenomenon is not obvious. This feature prevents ships from colliding with the coast due to waves, so ships can be unloaded directly on the pier. In the early days of its development, These efficiency gains are quite useful. .

Behind Sandro and the others, there is a big boat with one oar. Although it looks small, it is already the limit in the Venice canal in terms of area. About a hundred people can sit on the upper and lower floors. At this moment, there are several servants. waiting.

Huang Xuan was not polite, he just told Nick "teach Li Shenggang the energy screen and history" and boarded the boat. He felt that, with Li Shenggang's cowardice, he should also be a ignorant master.

He guessed wrong. Although Li Shenggang's education is not deep, he is still a cultural person fundamentally, but he is a little wretched, a little bad, and his outlook on life, world outlook and values ​​are a little distorted. Apart from these mistakes, he is still The top few in the county's high school entrance examination later tried to learn from history, but they didn't make any noise.

The cultural people who are so noisy that they are promising are all people who have been showered with a distorted world view, and then can produce and sell themselves. Li Shenggang is barely considered one now.

Sandro was overly enthusiastic at this time. He personally opened the chair for Huang Xuan, and waited for Huang Xuan to sit down before saying, "Mr. Xhosa, what are you thinking now?"

Seeing that no one from the Perot Chamber of Commerce came, Huang Xuan knew that Sandro wanted to eat alone, but this member of the Medici family was a little baffled. He thought so, with a smile on his face, and said : "100 bushels, 60,000 gold du~. Ge, if Mr. Sandro does not object, then follow this price."

The red and white rose families pinched each other, which made the Venetian merchants who had come out of the trauma of the destruction of Byzantium extremely happy.

The powerful Republic of Venice is not just a commercial city as half of the people imagined. This is a city regime that occupies the most colonies in the Mediterranean. They have the largest arsenal, shipyard and the only transparent glass production factory in the world at that time. , war can bring them too many benefits.

And the most direct benefit, of course, is the profit of mutual exchange.

Among them, the grain trade has already started vigorously. In the futures market in Venice, which is still in its infancy, the price of grain has been rising all the way, breaking through the mark of 100 bushels and 70,000 gold ducats. After all, in this era, the war is far from being able to end within a few years, and the British even used the actual Hundred Years War to prove that England can support a family of arms dealers for three generations.

Huang Xuan is still willing to spend 60,000 gold for 100 bushels~.

Joseph of the Medici family also gave Huang Xuan a high look. A credible businessman is always worthy of people's admiration. How could he know that Huang Xuan was just pressed for time and didn't want to add more details.

Sandro smiled and agreed to Huang Xuan's price, then took out a list, handed it to Huang Xuan and said, "Mr. Kosa, take a look at our quotation, if you buy a large quantity, we can lower the price. "He also meant a little bit of repayment. .
