The contract between Nan Yuan and Gu Shuo has expired on June 25th, and the matter of Xianhai Tower has been delayed for a few days, and it seems that it has come to a conclusion.
After the end of the Shikoku Chamber of Commerce, many vendors did not leave, because the Nanyuan Aquatic Products has never been finalized.
After waiting for a few days, I was actually a little anxious. I received invitations early this morning and rushed there.
Beili, Dongyi, and Nanyuan also arrived early, only Xiyan and Gu Shuo and his party were late.
"Everyone is here, so I will talk about the contracting of Nanyuan aquatic products." After everyone was seated, Lord Feng spoke.
The merchants present saw that the people who had been waiting at the door for a few days were also very anxious.
"The contract set by Nanyuan is 30 copper plates per catty, and Dongyi and Beili will each contract half of it. The term is ten years. Here is the contract. Lord Wang, Lord Li, take a look. If there is no doubt, we can sign it on the spot The contract." The words of the old prince Feng fell.
The housekeeper took the contract and placed it in front of Li Mu and Wang Li.
Wang Li and Li Mu picked it up and looked at it carefully. The vendors in the back were shocked, did they really sign a contract with thirty copper coins?
After calculation, there is no profit.
"Master Li, is the price of thirty copper plates too high?"
"We have a long journey between Beili and Nanyuan. There are only a small waterway, and most of them are land. The transportation cost is not small."
"Currently, our Beili aquatic products market generally only sells thirty-five copper plates per catty, so we still lose money."
Some representatives of the Beili City Chamber of Commerce were discussing a lot, and many people gathered behind Li Mu to mutter that the 30 copper plate contracts could not be signed.
"Everyone, stay safe and don't be impatient, I can distinguish myself." Li Mu interrupted everyone.
"Master Li, think twice, is the ten-year contract a bit too long?"
"I am in charge of the Imperial Merchant, and I will consider the interests of the merchants. Please believe in my ability, and I will definitely not let you do business that loses money." Li Mu's voice was loud.
Beili merchants are worried, but even so, no matter how you look at this contract, there is no profit at all.
Compared to Bei Li's discussion, Dong Yi is much quieter.
Although Dongyi is far away from Nanyuan, there are quite a lot of waterways. It is several times cheaper to use waterways for aquatic products than to go to the mainland. Thirty copper coins are still acceptable.
The vendors in Dongyi were also very worried when they looked at the contract. After all, who would not want to work hard and not make money?
"My lord, didn't you say that you want to wait for the emperor to reply?"
"Shall we wait first?"
Wang Li ignored the vendor behind him and looked at the contract carefully.
Seeing that there was no response, the merchant was worried for a while.
They looked in the direction of the envoys of Beili. It was more difficult to transport aquatic products in Beili than in Dongyi. If Beili signed a contract, there might be some profit in it.
"My lord, we can accept the price of aquatic products, but the price of fruit has doubled, isn't it a bit much?" Wang Li looked up after reading the contract.
"Seventy copper plates for the contract price is not too much. I remember the selling price at the end of the year, how many taels of silver per catty." Feng Wang raised the price to the top.
"Although this is the case, it is also an individual case. Dongyi cannot sign the contract at such a price." Wang Li put down the contract in his hand.
"My lord, the price is indeed too high." Li Mu was not very satisfied with the fruit price either.
"There is a reason why the price is high. Dongti is only produced by me in Nanyuan, and the output is scarce. The supply in one country is insufficient. What's more, those who can afford fruits in winter in several countries are either rich or expensive, let alone a few taels of silver. Even if it's a hundred taels, I don't necessarily care."
