Sandro regretted for a while. He should have known that he should not have said anything about "spice" at this time. As a result, the Perot Chamber of Commerce got a share of it in vain. At this time when spices are in short supply, even if the price of spices is high, they can always be sold. It is lost, and its cost is very high, and the absolute profit is also very large. Coupled with the speed of capital withdrawal 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, and now he was not in a hurry. He sat down and said with a smile: "No need to be busy, wait until Antonio and the others have ordered the food, and then we will go to the spice warehouse. Oh, Mr. Perrault, please take the Is this coming?"
Classmate Xiao Huang shook the list in his hand.
Mesero glared at Sandro, seeming to resent him for taking away his grain business. He also handed a list to Huang Xuan and said, "Has Mr. Cosa's fleet arrived?"
"About half of them have arrived." Huang Xuan squinted his eyes and became stunned again.
There are actually 0,000 black slaves on the list of Perot Trading Company.
Venice's glassmaking and shipbuilding industries, Milan's armor and weapons manufacturing, and Florence's woolen production all needed slaves.
However, in Europe in the 15th century, the demand for slaves was far from being as strong as it was during the period of colonial development. In the huge San Giacomo Square, what made people intoxicated were things that could increase in value during war—cannons, swords, armored stomachs. , wood, gunpowder, cloth, woolen cloth, sugar and salt, and all things edible.
Huang Xuan regretfully looked away from the word slave. Slave means no autonomy. The war in the R plane is over, and level 4 mercenaries are not easy to sell at all.
Continuing to read, the business of Perot Trading Company is obviously much wider, but relatively speaking, the total amount is much less. The total number of ivory and rhinoceros horns does not exceed 1,000, and wool is also in units of 100,000 pounds, which is the same as mulberry. Compared with the list of Delero or the Medici family, these weights are too small.
Huang Xuan kept reading while thinking: Cannons, skipped; weapons, skipped; wood, mostly walnut wood, too little.
Seeing Huang Xuan shaking his head, Mesero quickly interrupted: "Mr. Huang, please look below." He was worried that Huang Xuan would be impatient and lose the business.
Like Sandro, Mesero could not come up with hundreds of thousands of gold coins at a time, but bartering, for Venetian merchants who occupied a powerful location, was a way to earn twice as much money.
The three of them all paid attention to Huang Xuan's expression, and Xiao Huang also turned the pages carefully and continued reading. If there are enough spices, in fact, there will definitely be enough spices, then the supplies provided by Sandro are somewhat It's not enough, and now he can't be satisfied with just a few hundred million dollars.
The annual electricity consumption of China's entire society is as high as one trillion kilowatt hours, which is equivalent to 100 million energy circles, while the global annual electricity consumption exceeds 14 trillion, which is 600 million energy circles. These are only the electricity consumption under current conditions. , rather than power generation. Therefore, in the current state, only using the earth's resources, you can still upgrade the two bases if you have money.
However, a beautiful knife must be indispensable.
Facing the Space-Time Management Bureau, there is only so much he can do.
Huang Xuan's pupils were a little out of focus, and Mesero immediately became anxious. Seeing that Huang Xuan had already read the third page, he quickly said: "If Mr. Huang is not interested in rosin, then we currently have a lot of the leather you mentioned yesterday. There are not only ordinary cowhide and sheepskin, but also many mink, bear and deer skins from Slavic areas. The price of most of these precious furs is less than 5 gold ducats, and the supply is sufficient. "
"How many?" Huang Xuan immediately started flipping through the list. Compared with Sandro Trading Company's list, Perot Trading Company's list was more than 10 times thicker.
"Here." Mesero pointed out the location for Huang Xuan and said, "Look, there are 40,000 calf skins and 100,000 adult cow skins. Sheep skins are also divided into adult goats and immature goats, a total of 50,000. Adults There are 180,000 goat skins; there are up to 00,000 pig skins, all of which are processed adult pig skins and have just been delivered from the European continent.”
He took a breath and asked Huang Xuan to turn the page again, and then said: "There are not many horse skins left, about ten thousand. These are all skinned from military horses. There are very few ordinary civilian horses, so the price will be based on the lower one." Calculating, 100 skins cost 150 gold ducats. There are many types of fur leather, mainly fox fur leather and mink fur leather.”
As he was talking, Huang Xuan pointed to the mark in the middle and asked: "There are so many kinds of fox skins?"
"Mainly based on coat color." Seeing that Huang Xuan was willing to ask, Mesero became happy, and the big nose also squeezed together and smiled: "Mainly silver fox, white fox and red fox. The characteristic of silver fox fur is that The fur is relatively long, the hair needles are somewhat uneven, and the fur is thicker than other foxes, but the fur surface is shiny and the natural color is gray and black. The white fox fur is thin and even. This kind of fur is better than the silver fox, but it is furry. The length is shorter than the silver fox, so if it is used for clothing, it can be easily dyed. "
Mesero paused for a moment and felt a little proud when he saw everyone looking at him. The so-called specialization in the art industry meant that he had been specializing in grain, leather and other products in the Perot family for some years.
After taking a breath, Mesero continued: "The characteristics of red fox fur are similar to those of white fox, but slightly longer than silver fox. The whole color is red and gray. It is not dyed when used for clothing. This is the best fur leather. There’s nothing special about the remaining minks, they’re just divided into male and female minks.”
Huang Xuan didn't know that there were so many differences between so many pieces of fur. He picked up the list and asked, "Where are these precious furs?"
"Mr. Xhosa, you want it urgently, so we have simplified the classification. A small piece of bearskin costs 5 gold ducats, and a large piece costs 1 ducat, for a total of 10,000 gold ducats. There are so many types of deerskin, there are Twelve thousand pieces, if you want them all, it will be 10,000 ducats. Each piece of mink skin is also 5 ducats. There are 1,000 pieces. There is also a small amount of snake skin, which is about 1,000 pieces. You only need 1,000. Just Dukat.”
"Nick, let's calculate how much it costs."
"At least 100,000 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 greater, the better. If it were an ignorant traveler who saw that there were no livestock or slaves here, he might just blow up the place without even taking a second look, or he might just grab a handful and leave.
But just like all commercial cities in the world, how can the warehouse be placed in the center of the city or even near the city? Perot Trading Company must transfer goods in the past two days to meet the demand, and they can only grab as much as they can.
In addition to a little trouble, you can get the highest benefits by spending a little money.
Even the welfare lottery knows how much money to use to claim the prize...
Mesero was also a little nervous but looked at Huang Xuan relaxedly. He had not planned to sell Huang Xuan so much leather. After all, after processing it all, the profit would be very good. But when he heard the spices, he Couldn't help it anymore.
If there are two ships of spices, or only one ship of spices, they are worth tens of thousands. As long as they are sold out, 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 their annual trade, they found that there were no spices to sell there. Lisbon, the Portuguese capital, became a warehouse for Eastern goods, which made Venetian merchants unhappy.
Maybe Mr. Khosa 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 is really not prepared to buy so much leather, then Perot Trading Company will not really suffer any loss, but will be a little disappointed.
Businessmen are just a little too anxious.
Huang Xuan's face was still expressionless, making it difficult to tell whether he was happy or angry.
The cabin was quiet, with only the sound of wind and shouts on the canal resonating. Venice was a realistic and happy city, and the dream of being the center of the world once made Italians wake up with a smile.
There was another sound of stepping on the ladder, and Roberto and Li Shengang, who were as thin as a big monkey, walked in together. Both of them looked vulgar enough, and they seemed to complement each other.
Huang Xuan continued to turn the pages unmoved. It was not until he finished flipping through the entire list that he saw the rum labeled "thousand boxes". Unfortunately, the profit for drinks without brands and sources was not very high.
After closing the list, Huang Xuan looked up and saw Roberto winking with his boss. He pretended not to notice and asked, "Antonio, have you read them all?"
"I've seen it all." Li Shenggang got used to the name Antonio. He thought he would just give him an Italian name when he went back, just Antonio, or Augustus.
"Then let's trade." Huang Xuan stood up, stretched, shook hands with Joseph, Sandro and Meserro one by one, and then said: "Whoever comes with me to see the spices, the grain trade here will be settled." It’s up to Antonio.”
"Me." Joseph and Mesero said together.
It seems that the Sandro family should be vassals of the Medici family.
