Time Smuggling Starting from the Year 2000

Two hundred and ninetieth chapters Venice scroll (11)

Dro regretted it for a while, knowing that he shouldn't have said anything at this time, "Let the Perot Chamber of Commerce share a fortune for nothing. When the spices are in short supply, even if the price of the spices is high, they can always be sold, and Its cost is very high, and its absolute profit is also very large, coupled with the speed of capital return caused by scarcity, it is the favorite of big businessmen.

Of course, the most important thing is that spices from overseas are always cheaper.

Huang Xuan took a deep breath, but he was not in a hurry at this time. He sat down low and smiled, "Don't worry, let's go to the spice warehouse after Antonio and the others have ordered the food. Oh, Mr. Perot, what are you bringing?" Is this coming?"

Classmate Xiao Huang shook the list in his hand.

Mesero glared at Sandro, as if resenting him for taking away his grain business, and also handed a list to Huang Xuan, saying, "Has Mr. Xhosa's fleet arrived?"

"About half of them have arrived." Huang Xuan squinted his eyes, and became dazed again.

On this list of the Perot firm, there are actually 3,000 black slaves.

Glass and shipbuilding in Venice, armor and weapons in Milan, and cloth production in Florence all required slaves.

However, in Europe in the 15th century, the demand for slaves was far less intense than that of the colonial period +:. In the huge San Gacomo Square, people were still intoxicated by things that could increase in value in wars—cannons, swords, Carapace, wood, gunpowder, cloth, woolen cloth, sugar and salt, and everything that can be eaten.

Huang Xuan looked away from the word slave with great pity. Slave meant no autonomy. The war on the r plane is over, and 4 mercenaries are not easy to sell at all.

Looking further, the business of Perot Firm is obviously much wider, but relatively speaking. The total amount is much less. The total number of ivory and rhino horns does not exceed 2,000, and the wool is also a unit of 100,000 pounds. Compared with Sandro or the list of the Medici family, these weights are too small.

Huang Xuan read while thinking: Cannon. Skip; weapons, skip; wood, mostly walnut, but too little.

Seeing Huang Xuan shaking his head vigorously, Mesero quickly interjected: "Mr. Huang, please see below." He was worried that Huang Xuan would lose the business due to his impatience.

Like Sandro, it is impossible for Mesero to barter hundreds of thousands of gold coins at a time. For the Venetian merchants who occupy a powerful place, they earn two shares of money.

The three of them paid attention to Huang Xuan's expression, and Xiao Huang also turned the page seriously and continued to read. If there are enough spices, in fact, there must be enough spices, then the supplies provided by Sandro are somewhat It's not enough, and now he is not satisfied with a few hundred million dollars of small troubles.

The electricity consumption of the whole society in China is as high as 300 million kWh a year, which is equivalent to 1.3 billion energy circles. The global annual electricity consumption exceeds 14 trillion, which is 6.3 billion energy +=. energy, not power generation. Therefore, in the current state, it is still possible to upgrade the two bases.

However, a beautiful knife must be indispensable.

Facing the Space-Time Administration, there was only so much he could do.

The focus of Huang Xuan's pupils was a little blurred, and Mesero immediately became anxious. Seeing that Huang Xuan had already read the third page, he hurriedly said, "If Mr. Huang is not interested in turpentine, then we also have a lot of the leather you mentioned the day before yesterday. There are not only ordinary cowhide and sheepskin, but also many mink, bear and deer skins from Slavic regions. The prices of these precious furs are mostly below 5 gold ducats, and the supply is sufficient.”

"How many?" Huang Xuan immediately started flipping through the list. Compared with Sandro's, Perot's list was more than 10 times thicker. pepe contribution

"Here." Mesero pointed out the location for Huang Xuan, and said, "Look, there are 4 pieces of calf, 100,000 pieces of adult cowhide, and sheepskins are also divided into adult goats and immature goats. Zhang, adult goatskins are 100,000 pieces. 180,000 pieces; there are at most 30 pieces of pigskin, all processed adult pigskins, which have just been sent from the European continent.”

He took a breath, asked Huang Xuan to turn the page again, and said: "There are not many horse hides left, about 3 pieces, these are all stripped off from military horses, ordinary civilian horses are rare, so the price will be set at a lower price Calculated, 100 skins cost 150 gold ducats. There are quite a few, mainly including 2 pieces of fox fur and 30,000 pieces of mink fur.”

As he was talking, Huang Xuan pointed to the mark in the middle again, and asked, "How many kinds of fox skins are there?"

"It's mainly based on fur color." Seeing that Huang Xuan was willing to ask, Mesero became happy, and his big noses squeezed together

"Mainly silver foxes, white foxes and red foxes. Silver fox fur is characterized by uneven hair length and thicker fur than other foxes, but the fur surface is shiny, and its natural color is gray and black. White fox fur is thin and even Yes, this kind of fur is better than that of silver fox, but the length of the fur is shorter than that of silver fox, if it is used for clothing, it can be easily dyed completely.”

Mesero paused for a while, seeing that everyone was looking at him, a little proud, the so-called specialization in art, he has been specializing in grain, leather and other products in the Perot family for many years.

Taking a breath, Mesero said again: "The characteristics of red fox fur are similar to those of white fox, but slightly longer than silver fox. The full color is red and gray, so it doesn't need to be dyed for clothing. This is the best fur. There is nothing special about the rest of the minks, they are just divided into males and females."

How could Huang Xuan know that there are so many differences in such a little fur? He picked up the list and asked, "Where are these precious furs?"

"Mr. Xhosa, you are in a hurry, so we simplified the classification. The bear skin is a small piece of Carter, the big one is 12 ducats, and there are 2 gold ducats in total. There are too many types of buckskins, a total of 12,000 pieces , if you want all of them, it will be 3 ducats, and each piece of mink fur is also 5 ducats, there are 2000 pieces, and there are a few..000 pieces, as long as you have 1000 ducats."

"Nick, do the math."

"At least 120 gold ducats."

Huang Xuan was so excited that he couldn't sit still, he didn't worry about the price, as long as the quantity was bigger, the better. If an ignorant traveler sees that there are no livestock or slaves here, he may blow up the place without even looking at it, or grab a handful and leave.

But just like all commercial cities in the world, how could warehouses be placed in the center of the city or even near the city? Perot Trading Company must transfer goods to meet the demand in the past two days, and how much can be robbed.

In addition to a little trouble, spend a little money to get the highest return.

Even the welfare lottery knows how much money they need to cash in for prizes...

Mesero was also a little nervous and relaxed looking at Huang Xuan. He actually didn't plan to sell so much leather to Huang Xuan. After all, after all the leather was processed, the income would be very good, but when he heard about spices, he would Can't help it. .

If there are two shipments of spices, or only one shipment of spices, it is also worth tens of thousands of dollars. As long as it is handed over, the profit will be higher than the hard work of processing leather, not to mention that leather can be purchased again, and spices have always been monopolized by the Portuguese. . Years ago, when some Venetian merchants organized a fleet to go to Beirut and Alexandria for the annual trade, they found that there were no more spices to sell there. The Portuguese capital, Lisbon, became a warehouse for oriental goods, much to the displeasure of the Venetian merchants.

Maybe Mr. Kosa is a new spice supplier.

Mesero thought so, and glanced at Sandro and the young man next to him. The latter two were also not relaxed.

However, if Huang Xuan really didn't plan to buy so much leather back, then the Perot firm wouldn't really lose anything, it was just a little disappointed.

Businessman, just a little more anxious.

Huang Xuan's face was still expressionless, making it difficult to see the emotions.

The cabin is quiet, only the wind on the canal resonates with shouts. Venice is a realistic and happy city. The dream of the center of the world once made Italians wake up with laughter.

There was another sound of pedaling on the ladder, and Roberto, who was as thin as a big monkey, and Li Shenggang walked in together. Both of them looked wretched enough and seemed to complement each other.

Huang Xuan remained unmoved and continued to turn the pages until he finished the entire list, only to see the rum marked with thousands of boxes. Unfortunately, there is no brand and no source of wine, and the profit is not too high.

After closing the list, Huang Xuan looked up and saw Roberto winking with his boss. He pretended he didn't see it, and asked, "Antonio, have you read everything?"

"I've seen it all." Li Sheng just got used to the name Antonio, and he thought that he could just give him an Italian name when he went back, just Antonio, or Augustus.

"Then let's make a deal." Huang Xuan stood up and stretched, shook hands with Joseph, Sandro and Mesero one by one, and said, "Whoever comes with me to see the spices, the grain deal here will be handed over to you." Antonio is in charge."

"Me." Joseph and Mesero said together.

It seems that the Sandro family should be a vassal of the Medici family.
