On the table were various mushroom sauces produced by Caiyun Xiaoyuan's workshop. Huo Xi took a look at them and guessed what the other person was thinking.
After Tongshi conveyed Alxa's meaning, Huo Xi was a little surprised: “What kind of mushroom recipes do you want to buy?”
Tongshi glanced at Alxa and nodded.
“Our tribe also grows various kinds of mushrooms, but we don't know how to make sauce. We just pick them and dry them to eat. If the tribesmen learn how to make mushroom sauce, they can also use it at home.”
Moreover, what the young master means is that if they learn the method of making sauce, not only will the tribesmen have one more thing to eat when grazing in the future, but the excess can also be sold to other tribes and Xirong, which will also be a benefit to the tribe. .
Huo Xi was a little surprised and took a look at Alxa.
Alxa suddenly became a little nervous.
This is how other people make money, how can he teach them? He feels that buying a piece of cake will cut off other people's financial opportunities, which is not good. But there are really many mushrooms in their tribe. They grow quickly when it rains, and most of them rot in the ground.
Originally, he didn't feel it was a pity, but now that he has eaten such delicious mushroom sauce, he feels a little bit spoiled.
Seeing that Huo Xi didn't respond, he was so anxious that he started giggling at her.
After listening to Tongshi's translation, Yang Fu said to Huo Xi: "Xi'er, our mushroom sauce is selling well now. The important thing is that it gives the guys a job. The people outside can also exchange a few copper coins for picking up some mushrooms."
If the output is reduced, I am afraid it will be affected. There is no need to cut off everyone's way of making money.
Huo Xi thought about it for a while and found that she was not short of two thousand taels of silver. The other party promised her that she would only make it within the tribe and sell it only to the tribe and nearby Xirong, and would not send it to the customs for sale.
Huo Xi is not worried about this. Even if they want to send it in and sell it, it's not cost-effective because the mountains are high and the roads are far away. It can't impact her business.
And she took a fancy to the good horse from the other tribe. Once we have made good friends with the Xiqiang tribe, the other tribes will not be a problem.
Smiled and nodded: "Okay, I can sell you those recipes. But I have conditions..."
Alxa was very happy and nodded repeatedly.
It is an honor for him and their tribe that the Crown Prince's wife can use him. It is a great good thing for their tribe to be able to curry favor with the Crown Prince's wife in the Mu Mansion. Just now he was thinking that if the Crown Prince's wife raised the price, he would be willing to do so.
Hear Huo Xi say, "Every year I want a hundred stallions, five hundred good horses, and a thousand good horses."
Alashan was stunned after hearing Tongshi's translation, and looked at each other with several of his subordinates.
The Crown Prince's wife signed a five-year cooperation agreement with him. The cattle, sheep and other livestock in their tribe, as well as other furs, medicinal materials and other items, can also be sold for money. Now she is willing to teach him the method of making sauce. He shouldn't have refused.
The general conveyed Alxa's meaning: "Our tribe's horses can be used exclusively for ladies, but the number is a bit too much. I'm afraid we can't supply them."
Their tribe is not big, and every year the court collects fine horses from their tribe. The prince's wife wants so many, and there is simply no supply.
Huo Xi smiled and said, "If your tribe doesn't have any, you can buy it from neighboring tribes. I buy it at the market price. I don't care what price you buy it for. This is also a good thing for your tribe. First, you can make a difference in price. Second, But if you deal more with neighboring tribes and have more exchanges, the relationship will naturally get better. You are not afraid that your sauce will not be sold. Besides, we have been cooperating for five years, so you can think about the key points here slowly. ” ˆ ˆ ˜ This has already been pointed out, don't you understand?
Xiqiang is sandwiched between Xirong and Xifan. If their tribe is short of horses and various goods, they can buy from the two neighbors. Not only can their tribe make a profit, but they can also get along well with their neighbors. If there is a big problem in the future, The tribe wants to annex them, but are they afraid that they won't have a friend or two willing to lend a hand?
Isn't it better than them traveling thousands of miles to Yunnan to ask for reinforcements?
If we were smarter, we could centrally purchase the goods outside the customs, sell them to the North and South freight companies, and then transport the daily needs from the North and South freight companies back, wouldn't we be able to make some profit from the price difference?
It depends on whether he can figure it out.
Furthermore, for the North-South Merchant Company, it would be more advantageous for the foreigners to know the foreigners better than to send their caravans there to purchase. Not only saving more manpower, material and financial resources, but also avoiding various risks along the way.
It is really a matter of convenience for both sides. It depends on whether Alxa understands and grasps it.
Foreigners have simple ideas, their lifestyle is single, and they don't know how to do business. They are not as overthinking as the Han people. When I signed a five-year contract with Huo Xi, I just wanted to find a stable partner for my tribe's production. I never thought that I could purchase from other tribes and increase the quantity of goods to resell to Huo Xi.
After Huo Xi's advice, Alashan's mind suddenly became much clearer.
In front of Huo Xi, he discussed with several subordinates and calculated whether they could collect enough or buy horses from neighboring tribes in addition to the quota of good horses paid to the court.
I saw them discussing it for a long time, but they couldn't come to a conclusion. Huo Xi couldn't help but ask...
"As for the horses, it's best if they are enough, but it doesn't matter if they are less. As long as the young master cooperates sincerely, whatever you need from now on, I will do my best and the price will definitely satisfy you. And what you bought this time is very large. Duo, I am willing to send a team to **** you so that you can return to the tribe safely."
“Is it true?” Alashan was astonishingly bright.
Although they brought a lot of people this time, they also purchased a lot of daily necessities, and the road was long and blocked, and it was not peaceful along the way. If something unfair happens, I'm afraid I'll lose both money and money.
He nodded immediately: "Then I agree. Just according to the number Madam said! In May and June every year, I will prepare the number of horses and send them to Madam."
Alxa left happily, very satisfied with the harvest of his trip.
Huo Xi sent a team of fifty soldiers to send them back. He also sent several buyers to follow him, intending to purchase a batch of goods there and then transport them back with the team.
With Alxa's escort, this purchase will definitely go smoothly, and through them, the reputation of the North and South Cargo Stores can be spread outside the customs, and there will be no shortage of goods in the future.
If everything goes well, even if there are many imitation shops in the future, they will not be able to match her in terms of supply and quantity of goods.
Gen Qi initially disapproved of Huo Xi sending fifty soldiers to **** a foreign caravan, but when he heard that they were asked to purchase goods there and then send them back, he immediately admired them.
Sure enough, everything the lady does is not without purpose.
“Madam, the voices of dissatisfaction among merchants outside are getting louder and louder. Madam, do you have any countermeasures?”
Gen Qi felt that the merchants outside were a little unreasonable and there was no business in his own shop, so he came to blame his wife. When their shop was booming, did they ever think that other shops were out of business? Everyone makes a living based on their ability, but when you see other people's business is booming, you jump up and complain?
Although I feel disdainful, I am also worried that it will affect the reputation of the prince.
