The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 191 Our Credit

Ding Yi smiled and said: "I know, the main reason is that I brought several cargoes over here, and I have already found a buyer. After selling them, there are too many empty cargoes, so I might as well bring some iron and sulfur back."

"That's it." Zhou Yuanhai listened, and it seemed to make sense.

But no matter who he is, he dares to do things that break his promise. Naturally, he is an unscrupulous businessman. He rolled his eyes: "Songping Haiye, the iron material is 1.2 yuan and ten catties, and the sulfur is 1 yuan and ten catties."

The companion next to him couldn't help but glanced at him.

The real selling price of Matsudaira Uno is 0.9 qianjin for iron and 0.5 qianjin for sulfur.

Zhou Yuanhai actually wanted to make a fortune from Ding Yi, so he was a black-hearted boss.

Ding Yi was overjoyed when he heard the words: "It's not expensive, it's not expensive, I want [-] catties each, the more the better."

In the Ming Dynasty, the iron material was 1.2-1.6 qian and ten catties, and the sulfur was 1.4 qian and ten catties.

So Japan is indeed more suitable than Ming Dynasty, but because this thing is worthless, tens of thousands of catties is not much money, but it takes up space on the ship, so ordinary merchants will not come to Japan to buy goods, and those who come to buy sulfur must be for military use.

Zhou Yuanhai was overjoyed in his heart, but kept his expression on the surface: "I don't know if he has [-] catties each, but I'll find out after seeing it tomorrow."

"Well, I will give you an answer tomorrow, and you can live too."

"Yes, yes, we live here too." Ding Yi smiled, and said, bang, he threw a thousand taels of silver bill on the table: "This is the deposit."

Zhou Yuanhai's eyes lit up.

"Brother Wu." Ruan Wenyan at the side put Ding Yi's hand firmly, and whispered, "We don't know each other well."

"Sorry." Ruan Wenyan withdrew the 1000 taels of silver note, and put another 100 taels of silver note.

"Hahaha." Zhou Yuanhai laughed, this girl is quite careful.

"They're all from the same village, I can trust you." He said, reaching out his hand to put away the 100 taels of silver.

Ding Yi stared at her, and said unhappily: "You, Boss Zhou is such a big boss, how can you shake us."

"Go out to do business, be careful." Zhou Yuanhai looked meaningfully at the more than 20 soldiers around him: "Master Wu's boat is there, tomorrow, can I go and see it?"

"Of course, of course, let's go together tomorrow morning." Ding Yi smiled.

On the other side, Matsudaira Uno had just returned to the house, made a cup of tea, and became more and more angry.

Zhou Yuanhai's father was very trustworthy in business, but when he came to Zhou Yuanhai, a young man, he became less and less virtuous.

Our copper offerings are small, that is because the shogunate also makes copper coins and sells them to your Ming Dynasty.

But you don't want iron and sulfur?
Matsudaira Uno has a good relationship with Zhou Yuanhai's father, and wants to give him another chance.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

There was joy on his face, he thought Zhou Yuanhai had changed his mind.

When I opened the door, it turned out to be a stranger, and a Ming person at that.

"you?"

"Mr. Matsudaira Uno, hello, we are businessmen from the Ming Dynasty, I'm Shen Shikui, this is Ruan Siqing."

Matsudaira Unino looked vigilant, but this is a hotel, and it is his own country, so naturally he is not afraid: "Come in."

I guess they came to discuss business.

Sure enough, Ruan Siqing cut to the chase and said directly: "We want to buy copper, iron ore, sulfur, and flint and nitrate."

Matsudaira Uno's face changed slightly. Based on his experience, these are all guns and guns.

If the Japanese businessman wanted it, he would immediately refuse it, but Mingren didn't care.

We sell half flint and half give away, Matsudaira Uno thought, his flint production is also quite high, except for making flint, it is basically useless, and it cannot be sold at a price. In the past, he often sent half a ship to the Zhou family.

"I'm sorry, I already have appointments with other merchants in the Ming Dynasty. When doing business, you must keep your word." Matsudaira Uno said seriously.

"It's okay, it's okay, we just came to get acquainted, if there is a chance, let's cooperate again." Ruan Siqing smiled, and handed over a
Put the beautiful box.

Matsudaira Uno was taken aback, and was about to refuse, when Ruan Siqing put it on the table and left with Shen Shikui.

Matsudaira Uno smiled wryly, opened the box, and inside was a paper fan.

Brushing, he opened the paper fan and found a map of Japan drawn on one side, and a few words written on the other side.

"Benevolence, Faith, Righteousness, and Wu."

"Hehe." Matsudaira Uno smiled, these two Ming people are different.

Ruan Siqing walked for less than 5 minutes when Zhou Yuanhai knocked on the door.

He said that I was wrong before. After thinking about it after going back, I should keep my promise. I want all your iron and sulfur. I don’t know how many catties I brought this time?
Songping Haihai was overjoyed, and said earnestly, business should be like this, I don't have much iron and sulfur this time, only [-] catties each.

Zhou Yuanhai was overjoyed, it was a coincidence that the delivery was agreed at the moment, and the delivery would be tomorrow afternoon.

Early the next morning, Zhou Yuanhai made an appointment with Ding Yi, and the two went to Ding Yi's boat to have a look.

As soon as I arrived at the shore, I saw more than a dozen ships flying flags, all of which had the word "Wu" written on them.

On the first ship, I saw a large number of soldiers.

But these soldiers were not wearing armor, and they sat casually in twos and threes. They looked very elite, but their discipline was average.

Seeing Chief Wu Sangui coming, many people did not respond.

Zhou Yuanhai and his companions looked at each other, it was indeed the frontier army.

Now make an appointment with Ding Yi on the time and place, and deliver the delivery to the Bank of Communications on the other side of the alley in the afternoon.

But in the afternoon, he arrived at the scene early to meet Matsudaira Uno, but he waited and waited, but Wu Sangui was not there.

Uno Matsudaira's complexion quickly turned ugly: "Do you want it? Stop teasing me?"

He was really angry.

For the sake of Zhou Yuanhai's father, he has already given Zhou Yuanhai a chance.

"I want it, someone wants it, why hasn't it come yet, wait a while." Zhou Yuanhai was anxious.

He also sent people back to the hotel, but no one came when it was dark. The people who went back also said that Wu Dusi had checked out and disappeared.

Dog, are you playing with me?Zhou Yuanhai was furious.

"Give me some more time, I'll go find him."

"I'm so disappointed in you." Matsudaira Uno sighed.

"It's not that I deliberately lied to you, but someone lied to me." Zhou Yuanhai was anxious: "Whoever you want to build iron and brimstone, I always find someone to partner with."

Are you still stubborn? Refusing to admit your mistake?Matsudaira Uno shook his head helplessly, becoming more and more disappointed with him, turned around and left in a huff.

Zhou Yuanhai was so angry that he ran back to Ding Yi's pier with his men.

The boat is still there, but the "Zu" flag is hung all over it.

"Wu Sangui, tell him to come out." He stood on the bank and called.

No one on the boat paid any attention to him, and a few soldiers stood up from a distance, all in armor, and stared at him with cold eyes.

Zhou Yuanhai took a few glances, his face was flushed, bastard, he turned around cursing and left.

the other side.

Matsudaira Haiye had just returned halfway with his people when he was stopped by Ding Yi.

"This is my master, and it is my master who wants to do business with Mr. Matsudaira Uno." Ruan Siqing introduced beside him.

"Mr. Songping, hello." Ding Yi said softly.

Songping Haiye looked at him expressionlessly, and suddenly said: "Did you tell Zhou Yuanhai that you wanted iron and sulfur, and then you didn't come on purpose?"

"I'm well aware of your outstanding skills. How can you use this method to do business?"

Ding Yi didn't change his face, and said calmly: "Zhou Yuanhai has neglected his righteousness for profit, and deliberately raised the price, saying that the iron you sell is 1.2 yuan and ten catties, and the sulfur is 1 yuan and ten catties."

"He wants to make money on both sides, but he has no credibility. Why does Mr. Songping have to do business with him again?"

"I'm not saying bad things about him behind his back. As long as this kind of person has enough benefits for him, he will betray you sooner or later."

"Why don't we two very trustworthy people work together?"

Matsudaira Uno sneered: "I've never met you before, what kind of credit do you get?"

"This is my elder brother, Zheng Zhilong." Ding Yi took out his badge.
