Chapter 941： negotiation

Andre just asked someone to make a pot of tea, and he was happy when he heard that Prince Rong had gone and returned. Although this prince is very good at fighting, he can't do business in the end. Valuable things like cannons are sometimes talked about. It may not be negotiated for three or four months. He just showed that he would set off soon, and the other party eagerly agreed the price. Even when he proposed a deposit of 20,000 taels, the other party agreed. Will he come to give him a deposit?

Andre said happily: "Please come in."

Three people came in.

Seeing Fan Zijin at the head, the tea in Andrei's hand shook for a while, and an ominous premonition rose in his heart. He smiled and said, "Why is Mr. Fan here?"

Andre saw the beautiful woman who was half a step behind Qi Haoran.

Mu Yangling impressed him too deeply, more shocked than Qi Haoran and Fan Zijin, Andre didn't want to offend her.

Mu Yangling stood behind Qi Haoran and waited for Andre to salute her before returning a half salute, she smiled and said, "The lord came back and said that he wants to buy a cannon, and it costs 50,000 taels. How can I, a woman, know what cannons are? Long spear, but I, a housewife, can't take care of our grandfather's affairs, so my cousin just came over, he knows a little bit about this, so he brought us to see and see."

Fan Zijin instructed Mu Yangling on the carriage that she was going to play an ignorant and domineering woman. Anyway, the verbal agreement between Qi Haoran and Andre was invalid, and this business had to be re-booked for it to happen.

Qi Haoran followed Fan Zijin with his head down. He was now a cousin who was scolded by his cousin, and he didn't care about the rest.

Andre did not expect Han nobles to be so shameless. How could Princess Rongjun not know about cannons and spears? She has personally carried a cannon and has seen it's powerful, and that kind of cannon is still a cannon that has been in service in Portugal for more than ten years. Where is the cannon in England comparable?

These three seemed to want to repay their debts, and Andrea hurriedly re-introduced England and their country's artillery.

He knew that either Fan Zijin or Mu Yangling was in charge this time, and it couldn't be Qi Haoran anyway, so he only explained to the two of them.

Fan Zijin doesn't know much about these foreign countries. He has heard the names of many countries in the past six months, but in fact, in his opinion, they all look alike. Whether it is a man or a woman, in his eyes they are almost the same. , he really can't tell the difference just by looking at people.

But he also roughly understood from the conversations of the foreigners that England is relatively powerful among their countries, at least stronger than the countries of Andre and Pedro, and Andre's narrative made him understand more clearly England's position and power among their countries.

In short, although the Portuguese and Spaniards are the most foreigners who have arrived in Daqi, outside Daqi, the largest number of merchants, soldiers and robbers in the sea are English. There were colonies in the Guri area, and their country's artillery played a very important role in laying down the colonies. In short, England's artillery was very powerful, much more powerful than what they are using now.

Qi Haoran has a strong sense of strategy and asked Fan Zijin, "Where is Guli?"

Andre obviously also wanted to maintain this business, so he said in detail: "It's on the west coast of India, not far from your place. As long as the route is correct, it can be reached in less than a month."

Qi Haoran and Fan Zijin looked at each other, their hearts sank slightly. Mu Yangling didn't expect the United Kingdom to be so advanced. At this time, the colony had already been brought to India, but according to Andrea, England was also in India just now. It didn't take long for it to take up only a small piece of space there, and it didn't take India completely.

Fan Zijin asked calmly: "Since England is so powerful, are Mr. An sure they can get their new cannon?" He said meaningfully: "Zhou De also inquired about cannons, but he could only ask about the cannons that are in service. …”

Andre was a little guilty, but said with a smile on his face: "I have other ways..."

Mu Yangling smiled and said, "If I remember correctly, you are a Spaniard? I heard that your country has a bad relationship with England. In this case, you can still get England's new cannons. Can the army of the army also be equipped with their artillery?"

Andre was shocked. He didn't expect Mu Yangling to know this. He thought that he was not the only businessman from his own country. Maybe someone else said it, or maybe the hateful Portuguese said it.

Hearing that the relationship between the two countries is not good, Qi Haoran glared at him, how could they get a new type of artillery when the relationship between the two countries is not good?

Is this bullying him, or bullying him?

When the relationship between them and Jin Guo eased slightly, it would take more than half a year to get a thousand miles from the other side, and it would cost countless, not to mention the other side's heavy cannon that couldn't move on its own.

Fan Zijin was delighted. He knew how to discuss this business next. Everyone knew tacitly that the cannon in Andre's hand was definitely not new, but it would definitely be better than the two cannons in the army now. It was snatched from Pedro's group of pirates, and I don't know how many years ago it was an antique.

Fan Zijin's business is much easier to talk about after he has a good mind.

Andre is a businessman who has been in the sea trade business for 20 years. Although Fan Zijin has been in business for a short time, his experience is not inferior to his. It has been more than ten years since he started his first business at the age of thirteen. Fan Zijin and Businessmen of all sizes in Daqi have cooperated, otherwise they would not have forced Andre to sell the entire cargo last time.

And Andre is not bad, otherwise Fan Zijin wouldn't have been able to get Fan Zijin to go out to sea and meet pirates in person, so the two of you came to me and confronted each other, Mu Yangling and Qi Haoran were completely reduced to accompany, at first Mu Yang Ling was still able to help muddle a couple of sentences, but now she can't get in a word.

Qi Haoran even kept his mouth shut, for fear that rashly speaking would be a hindrance.

The husband and wife looked at each other for a while, then glared at Andre together, trying to force each other to admit defeat with their eyes.

Andre was not affected by their eyes, but he was forced to step back by Fan Zijin. Of course, this was what Mu Yangling and Qi Haoran thought, because the price of the cannon had dropped from 50,000 taels to 23,000 taels.

In Andre's view, the price of cannons is approaching his bottom line step by step. Although he did not lose in this business, he made a lot less money than he expected.

Then, Fan Zijin raised the price for the last time, directly pressing on his bottom line, "20,000 taels, if Mr. An agrees, I can pay the deposit immediately."

Mu Yangling and Qi Haoran looked at Andre with piercing eyes. Andre's face was still tangled. Because there were too many beards, they didn't see any difference, but Fan Zijin, who had been staring at him, saw his pupils. Shrinking slightly, Fan Zijin was satisfied, knowing that this was his reserve price, and if he continued to suppress the business, it would be a waste.

Fan Zijin took a sip of tea and said, "Mr. An, you are not the only Western merchant in Guangzhou City, and there is also Pedro at sea. I heard that he is not only a pirate, but also an earl of Portugal. Also doing business, I don’t know if he is willing to do this kind of arms business.”
