Chapter 312 Double the price
Xiangyun's guess was correct, and there was indeed something wrong with Abramo's idea of adjusting goods.
It’s not that the goods have not been transferred, in fact they have been transferred. However, the quantity is too small. After finding a few colleagues with good relationships to transfer the goods, several companies came together, and even Abramo still had the goods.
Not even half of the quantity.
The only company in the industry that still had a lot of inventory on hand had some disputes due to business competition in the past. Although Abramo promised to receive the goods at market prices, his reaction was that if he wanted to get the goods,
Okay, increase the price by 50%!
Faced with this obviously deliberately embarrassing approach, Abramo's subordinates naturally did not dare to overstep their authority and agree. Then they hurriedly came back to report, while the transferred goods were rushing towards the shop behind them.
.
"Fifty percent!! He dared to say this!!" After listening to the report from his subordinates, Abramo knew that the other party could not be blamed for this matter, and his eyes were filled with anger.
But he was still angry, and Abramo also knew that even if he increased the price by 50%, he would still be able to make a profit.
Although on the surface, the price after the 50% increase is indeed a loss. But don't forget that what someone used to pay was not copper coins or silver taels, but extremely rare and extremely valuable "walking beads"
”.
If he could take that bag of "traveling beads" back to his own country and sell it, he would still be able to make a profit if he doubled the price by five times, not to mention increasing the price by 50%.
Thinking of this, Abramo did not hesitate and directly ordered: "Fifty-fifty, tell him, I will order the goods!"
"But..." Seeing that his master had made such a decision, the young Hu man, who was a capable subordinate, couldn't help but want to persuade him.
"No need to say any more, just do as I say, quickly!" Knowing that his subordinate also had good intentions, Abramo did not blame the other person for talking too much, but waved his hand and ordered stubbornly.
Seeing that his master had already said this, the young Hu Shang could only sigh, turned around and ran out of the shop again.
"Wait a minute!" Abramo shouted as he watched his capable subordinate turn around to leave and suddenly thought of a question.
"Master?" said the young Hu man, thinking that the other party was about to cancel the order just given.
"If you go this time, if that person is in trouble again, you can agree to the price increase within double the price!" Abramo said with some gritted teeth.
"What?!" the dumbfounded young Hu man said in disbelief.
"Hurry up and go!!" Abramo, who had no time to explain to the other party, glared and shouted.
Seeing that his master didn't seem to have said something wrong, the young Hu man could only run out quickly.
Fortunately, the places where the Hu merchants gathered were relatively close, less than two-quarters of an hour away, and the young Hu merchants finally returned home with a full load.
When he saw the Kunlun slaves getting off the specially escorted vehicles one by one, Abramo, who rushed out to greet them as soon as he received the news, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After Abramo asked his right-hand man, who had a very bad expression on his face, about the transaction, he realized that his previous instructions were indeed in vain. The guy actually doubled the price by 50%.
.
Fortunately, no matter how bad the relationship between Hu merchants is, such as this malicious price increase, they will still abide by the rules of the circle when it comes to buying and selling. After agreeing on the price, you only need to write a document and other things, without paying.
You can take the goods away.
In fact, it is not surprising to do this. After all, the circle of Hu merchants in Datang is only that big. Once Abramo takes the goods without paying, there will be no need for the seller to take action, and all the Hu merchants will naturally give him money.
Exclude yourself from the circle.
Even if the relevant news spreads back to Arabia, Persia and other places, then Abramo will no longer have to do business. Because no one will do business with a liar, and the loss will not be dozens of Kunlun slaves.
So simple.
As for the seller, although he raised the price from the ground up, he did not dare to do anything with the goods. The batch of Kunlun slaves sent were all very good goods. If he did not do this, once the matter spread, he would also be
Excluded by peers.
As for the issue of raising prices on the ground, although there is an element of making things difficult, from a business perspective, it is just a means to gain more profits, even if it makes people feel shameful. But this kind of behavior of Jiang Taigong fishing, and those who are willing to take the bait,
It's not considered a violation of the rules in the Hu business circle.
After all the Kunlun slaves gathered in the large yard, including Abramo's own group and the seconded ones, the number of Kunlun slaves in the yard reached sixty-four.
Abramo had twenty-five Kunlun slaves on hand, and borrowed ten from his colleagues at a low price. In the end, he got twenty-nine Kunlun slaves at double the price, which was more than what Abramo had on hand.
.
For Li Anran, this Kunlun slave is obviously not enough. But seeing that he can only collect so much in a short time, he can only make do with it first.
After confirming that there was no problem with the quantity and quality of this batch of Kunlun slaves, Li Anran, who was welcomed back to the hall, paid according to the previously negotiated price. Since there was no way to cut the pearls, the excess price was
It was treated as a deposit for the next transaction.
Seeing that the transaction was finally completed, Abramo's hanging heart finally calmed down. After carefully checking the "traveling beads" in his hand to confirm that there was no problem, he had been gloomy about the increase in price before.
His face suddenly became smiling.
However, he was so happy that Abramo did not forget about the business. After all, the reward he received also included the deposit for the next transaction. If he did not explain this matter clearly, there would be nothing he could do with the money.
Peace of mind.
After putting the "walking beads" into a luxurious box that Hu Ji brought, Abramo, who became more and more humble, said: "Dear guest, when do you plan to leave?"
"When will you be ready to go?" Li Anran asked, without giving an answer.
"Ten days, we can leave in ten days." Considering that this time he cannot return home empty-handed as before, and it will take a certain amount of time to purchase the corresponding goods, after thinking for a while, Abramo raised a finger and said.
Li Anran, who knew that Hu Shang would bring specialties of the Tang Dynasty every time he returned to China, so that he could make a lot of money, was not surprised by this answer. He nodded and said: "In ten days, fifty miles outside the West City Gate
Let’s meet.”
"Fifty miles outside the West City Gate?" Abramo, who had never expected to receive such an answer, was stunned for a moment and then said, "If something unexpected happens, how can I contact you?"
"No need to contact you. If I can't wait for you in ten days, this agreement will end." Li Anran, who did not want to reveal his whereabouts, said coldly.
"That's... well, according to what the distinguished guest said, we will meet you fifty miles outside the west city gate in ten days." Faced with such an answer, whoever wanted to do business would encounter an unexpected change, wouldn't it be wrong if he couldn't contact him?
It was very inconvenient, but seeing the cold look in someone's eyes, Abramo swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.
After agreeing on the time and place for the next meeting, Li Anran, knowing that it was getting late, did not want to be blocked in the city. He immediately declined Abramo's warm invitation and got into the carriage waiting outside.
Walk outside the west city gate.
As for the sixty-four Kunlun slaves and one tongue man, they were all packed into special cars, and then one after another they were also driven towards the west gate.
When he learned that Li Anran needed to buy the car, Abramo, who had just done a big business and made a lot of money, naturally did not care about the small amount of money and directly regarded the car as a gift. Moreover, he was worried
It was inconvenient to drive out of the city, so I specially sent my capable subordinates to accompany him to avoid causing any trouble.
Although it was not short of such a small amount of money, Li Anran also knew that if he went to get the car, the noise would inevitably be louder. So he did not refuse the other party's kindness.
Chapter completed!
