Chapter 316 Aoxue's Meaning of Life

The fleet of three slave traders, Gu Rui, Lu Frey, and Rothschild, left Tianzhu and headed south along the east coast of Mozhou.

The three of them still meet up from time to time to discuss the details of opening a brothel in Meng County.

Also on board your own ship, screening and picking the right people.

Gu Rui went to choose the more flamboyant Orchid.

Gu Rui's brothels are all of high quality and low price.

That is to say, those who go straight to the kidneys, do not engage in any routines of piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, arty, selling miserables and fishing.

Rothschild is also picking out teenagers with a similar style.

For the time being, Rothschild doesn't have any business concept of a brothel, and the brothel to be built is nominally run by Gu Rui, so it is only natural to copy Gu Rui's business model.

Gu Rui's ship has already arrived at the destination, and he directly applies for customs declaration to enter the port for "unloading".

Every month's salary has to be deducted to offset his "unauthorized misappropriation of stolen money".

Aunt An immediately shook her head and said:
"The price is too high for us to accept.

They all seemed to be fourteen or fifteen-year-old boys, wearing clothes similar to their own.

After confirming that no one was following him, he asked Rothschild's two servants to go to the New Roman Tea House to check the situation first.

After thinking about it for a few seconds, Aunt An said:

Aoxue followed the two teenagers all the way through the streets and alleys, and met Aunt An in the box of another teahouse.

"I will give half of the goods to you, and I will go to Taixi to sell the other half.

"Currently, the licensed products that officially sell seventy silver bills do not have this kind of invitation authority. Previously, the official seal brand licensed products that sold one hundred silver bills did not have such a rule.

"Because you don't cooperate with me, then we are competitors, and of course we will kill your supply."

"But smuggled goods definitely don't have this function, and directly lose the possibility of being equivalent to the highest-level products.

After explaining the situation to them and letting them play by ear, he returned to the front desk and left the tea shop with the two teenagers.

But don't worry about leaking information, I won't reveal my intention to make a profit during the conversation.

"At least fifty silver bills, and the transaction will be made when it is delivered to you, not after it goes out.

At the same time, if it can be verified that Aoxue really cooperates sincerely, then it is not impossible to cooperate.

"It depends on whether I find a way to bring the goods first, or you find a sufficient source of goods first."

"Even if you take half of the goods to Taixi and hand them over to the end sellers for sale, you can only sell them for fifty to sixty silver bills, because they also want to make money.

I have made up all the stolen money from my wages, and now I finally have news again.

Aunt An accepted a strict inspection at the exit of the pier, and was reminded to undergo a full-body inspection when leaving.

Let them go to the island to wander around and observe the environment and conditions on the island.

"Without any other middlemen, we make all the profits.

Then it's not like the secret can't be sold.

So Aunt An smiled and said:
"If Miss Aoxue really wants to cooperate, then let us see your sincerity.

However, Aoxue was not happy at all.

This bargaining process is also a process of enhancing trust.

Because the big shots who left Meng County recently are the King of Food and the people around him.

Aoxue said rather melancholy:
"They have already left Meng County, and I have left everything to myself."

"So smuggled goods with [-]% elastic yarn can be sold for [-] silver bills at most, or even [-] silver bills.

Ever since Aunt An ran away, Aoxue was looking forward to her coming back to find him again.

According to the Thais, all affairs have a value.

Without really giving a method, I got a batch of goods at the same time.

Aoxue's expression is very ugly:

That kind of people will be more eager to find smuggling channels and methods.

"We told you how to bring the goods, so that's really a self-inflicted trap."

Aunt An continued to persuade her several times, but Aoxue never let go, and insisted on the price of fifty silver bills.

It's also about making money for yourself.

But before Aunt An tried it out, Aoxue Aoxue cheered up again, and said very rudely:

Aoxue said decisively:

"If you want to get goods from me, you should show some sincerity!"

Explain which commodities have purchase restrictions, how much excess will be detained, and how much excess will be regarded as smuggling.

She bought a bicycle by herself and often went out for a walk by herself.

Aunt An is used to being scolded by Aoxue, anyway, being scolded will not lose a piece of meat.

In addition, arrange a dozen ordinary Tianzhu servants, who don't know their true identity, don't know their smuggling methods, they can't spit out anything when they are caught, and they don't feel bad when they give up.

Aunt An once again confirmed her guess that Aoxue's master is really a member of the harem of the King of Food.

"When you simply wear it, it looks no different from the [-]% stretch yarn.

Aoxue was ecstatic in her heart, but on the surface she remained calm, and even said lazily and impatiently:

In the evening of the same day, the servants returned to the ship and reported the discovery to Rothschild.

Aoxue was wearing a red shirt, sitting at the counter of the New Roman Tea Shop in a daze.

After hearing this, Aunt An shook her head:

Aunt An was very tangled and asked:
"If we told you the channel and helped you take out the goods, why would you be willing to ship to us in the future? Didn't you sell all of them yourself?"

"When I find a solution myself, you don't want to get goods from me.

In the morning of the second day, Aunt An put on makeup carefully, completely changing her appearance.

Now Aoxue is even more excited.

"I was going to retail in Taixi myself, and now I needed a way to get my stuff out.

"Fifty is too high, at most [-] silver bills, we will not retail ourselves at present, we want to leave profits for retailers.

"Even we can cooperate, bring goods together, and sell together.

"If these external factors are excluded, the new smuggled goods with seal labels we sell are of a higher grade than the official substandard products that sell seventy silver bills.

"The most important difference between the smuggled goods we sell and the official 120 silver bills is that there is no invitation to purchase the most advanced products.

After careful calculation, Aunt An looked around, and there were two followers of Rothschild beside her.

Aoxue's expression became ugly. After a long silence, she seemed to have made some kind of decision:

If it was an official undercover agent investigating his own smuggling channels, he would not be so serious about the price issue.

This morning, when Aoxue was in a daze, two people walked into the store and came across from her.

"If you tell me the method, even if I bring the goods myself in the future, I will continue to ship to you.

"The key point is that the new product of [-]% elastic yarn has been sold at [-] silver notes for a long time now.

Aoxue frowned and considered for a while:

…………

"At present, [-]% of elastic yarn products, the official sales plan is invitation-only.

Only after catching the real big smuggler, the key is to figure out the smuggling method, you will have the opportunity to report to the king!
There is a chance to remind the king of his existence again.

Today is April [-]th of the third year of Ankang, the first rest day for the workers in Dashi Country in April.

"After we reach the sea and avoid the possibility of being arrested, we will discuss cooperation."

"The proportion of elastic silk is 120% higher, and the original price of the licensed product is [-] silver notes. It is a top-level seal script hot stamping label.

Moreover, the same thing has different values ​​in the hands of different people.

This attitude of insisting on haggling over every detail and raising the price as much as possible is really like a person who wants to make money.

Because that was his method of monopolizing the smuggling lanes, which represented nearly unlimited profit margins.

A mine protection and anti-submarine network has been added around Mengxian Island, and it is impossible for submarines of all sizes to lurk in and out.

"This kind of goods can be sold for less than [-] silver bills, it is a waste, [-] silver bills are the normal price, and it can only be regarded as capable if it can be sold for [-] silver bills!
"Fifty silver bills are my bottom line, if I didn't want to cooperate with you, I wouldn't be able to give you this price!
"Or just take the official seventy silver bills as standard goods, and we can sell them to you for thirty silver bills."

Aunt An immediately asked back:

Aoxue hesitated for a few seconds, then nodded in agreement:

"You're thinking wrong, if you don't help me take the goods out and introduce the channel to me, I won't sell you a piece of goods for thirty silver bills, and it's impossible for forty silver bills.

"So, please provide two hundred pieces of goods for free, and leave Meng County with us directly.

Some people will continue to connect with themselves, and some people can continue to supply themselves.

My parents don't want to see me, and after I have space in the dormitory that is convenient for work, I don't come to the tea shop to loot the room anymore.

Because this method is not his own, he only uses it to smuggle for Rothschild.

"You don't need channels, as long as we help bring the goods, after we help you bring them out, will you sell them to us?
"What's the difference between that and directly calculating the price here and selling it to us?"

"Miss Aoxue, if you are not just for smuggling, if you are an official member of the Great Food Kingdom...

Lu Frey has no ghosts in his heart and dares to stop here for supplies.

Mr. Pan knew that his majesty had arranged for him, so he was very polite to himself and expressed his full support.

It's just that when selling, you still have to pay attention to the method and method.

This time it was Aunt An's turn to be surprised:
"You... Let us help you take the goods out of the island? That is to say, the people behind you don't have this ability?"

But the skirt was a bit shorter than her, and could only cover half of her thighs, and she was wearing white pantyhose on her legs.

Aoxue said with a straight face:

Aunt An felt very helpless, and at the same time she trusted Aoxue even more.

Hearing these two words, Aoxue immediately perked up.

Aoxue directly sneered and said:
"The old bitch wants to be an empty-handed wolf? Are you an idiot for being an aunt?
"Two hundred pieces...something worth at least [-] silver bills, in exchange for an empty talk about cooperation?
"Then the result of the discussion is that we can't cooperate?

Aoxue had previously called for a buyout price of seventy silver bills, because that was a purely single transaction price.

"Stop talking nonsense, do you accept my goods?"

"After all, we've only met twice, and we don't know anything about your past.

"Yes, I can get anything, and the price is of course very high, [-]% elastic silk products, seventy silver bills."

But these have nothing to do with themselves.

Aoxue seemed to be a little bored and scratched her head:
"Then I'll take a step back, and you guys help me take the goods out, without telling your Taixi channel."

A slightly tall boy spoke first, speaking in a very non-standard Daming elegant language:
"You are Aoxue, right? Aunt An asked us to come, can you still supply us now?"

Aunt An is used to being called an old bitch, and she is not angry at all now:
"If the result of the discussion is that we can't cooperate, then we will buy your goods at the price of thirty silver notes."

The large-scale transaction itself is also the mutual sincerity of both parties. After the transaction is completed, there will be a basis for cooperation.

"The old bitch still treats me like a child, what do you mean it's hard to exceed seventy silver bills?

"You have to sell us the other half of the [-] silver bills. A compromise between the two is equivalent to selling all the goods for [-] silver bills. Why don't you just sell them to us for [-] silver bills."

When the two teenagers heard the insulting language, their expressions were a little ugly, but they resisted the urge to confront Aoxue:
"I'll take you to someone who can make a decision."

In the hands of Rothschild, no one may be able to bear the value of the method of bringing goods.

"Of course I can supply the goods, but why didn't Aunt An come by herself? Can you two kids with no hair grow up to decide?"

In order to complete their own tasks, continue to investigate and track the smuggling methods of these smugglers.

In the entire Meng County, and even the entire East Mozhou, there is no one with a stronger background than himself.

The destination of Lufrey and Rothschild is Southwest Mexico, and they are now applying for replenishment at the port of Meng County.

Still sitting there without moving.

If Rothschild talks in person... Even if Rothschild talks in person, the method of bringing goods is not impossible to trade.

My two brothers got married one after another, and they were able to rent a separate apartment with their wives.

The king has already left with Empress Chunxiang.

Even, if possible, I would try to be a white wolf with nothing.

Let them take the prodigal youth they picked out, and follow Gu Rui ashore to try to register and open a brothel.

From an old Persian woman to a middle-aged Tessi woman.

Aunt An saluted Aoxue with a smile, and at the same time asked straight to the point:
"I was worried that I had registered with the Jinyiwei of the Dashi Kingdom, so I didn't dare to show up casually, so I could only ask the young lady to come out and talk.

But waiting left and right, but no one was seen.

None of them had shown their faces in Meng County, so they should not have attracted the attention of the government.

"Form a smuggling channel from the workshop warehouse in Meng County to the customers in Taixi.

"I want to leave the money in Meng County, otherwise, after arriving on the high seas, you guys may not dare to cheat."

Anything can be sold as long as it is worth enough.

As one of Zhu Jingyuan's de facto subordinates, Aoxue was notified when Zhu Jingyuan left.

"Since you still don't believe me, then get out, and don't come to me again.

Aoxue said impatiently:

"Okay, wait for me here for a while, I will go to the yard to get something."

Aoxue didn't wait for the two teenagers to agree, she got up and went directly to the backyard, looking for Zhu Jingyuan and Chunxiang who stayed here.

They should be Hu people of a certain ethnic group. They look like men, but they feel like women.

Aoxue waved her hands a little irritably and said:

But Aoxue vaguely felt that her younger sister didn't seem to want to marry, and she was very perfunctory about this kind of thing.

After Aunt An successfully left the port, she made a big circle around Meng County.

Now that no one is smuggling, if the goods I take can’t be sold, I can’t get a penny.

My younger sister visits me often, and recently someone wants to introduce her to someone.

Aoxue once again lost her ideals, and went about her work and life mechanically and step-by-step.

"Now there are official high-end products with seventy silver notes, and their final retail price is hard to exceed seventy silver notes..."

Until the new year, the entire first quarter has passed.

That kind of person may not have the ability to care about things like this.

Rothschild took a sum of money and gave it to his two capable men, the kind where the whole family depends on the Rothschild consortium for survival.

"I definitely can't sell much in the early days, so I still have to give you the large quantities of goods in the early days.

The control of entry and exit of Mengxian Island is much stricter than before last year's crackdown, but it is much looser than that of the crackdown.

"Anyone who buys this product can buy it again, and has the right to bring friends to buy it.

Then he took several of his buddies and several servants of Rothschild, and went ashore together into the city.

At the same time, I got the news that Prince Dashi had left Meng County with his family.

There were no arrest warrants for Aunt An and her fellows inside and outside the city.

The body is also slimmer than the average girl, and the image and temperament are also very soft and delicate.

"If you just want the goods and don't want to give anything else, then seventy silver bills, do you want it or not?"

In addition to the current price of fifty silver notes, there is also an opportunity for cooperation and discussion.

"So when we receive the goods, we can only get thirty silver bills at most."

Aoxue has only one thought in mind: How can I have the opportunity to meet the king.

"After Bai got so many goods, you just ran away and didn't contact me, where can I find you?
"You don't know me, and I don't know you either!

"If you are going to receive thirty silver bills, please tell me your Taixi shipping channel.

"Also, you need to help me take the goods out."

"You can refuse, and I will continue to find a way by myself.

Aunt An also frowned and considered for a while:

"Miss Aoxue, can you still supply the goods now? Can you get the latest [-]% elastic silk version? How much does one cost?"

"If you have a safe way to give me, I can get enough money in exchange.

If he can take advantage of this matter, he can earn enough profits at one time, enough to break away from Rothschild's own business.

If you encounter anything, you can directly report and ask for help to Mr. Pan, who is the supervisor of the entire Eastern Mozhou.

But in the hands of Aunt An, the value is not that high.

"The king is gone, what is the meaning of my life..."

Rothschild thought he had a safe way to hide the cargo, and there was no cargo on board at present, so he dared to dock directly.

Finally, Aunt An sighed helplessly and said:
"Well, for the sake of our future cooperation, we can now make a slight concession.

"For the price of fifty silver bills, you go to prepare the goods, and I will prepare the payment, and we will contact you tomorrow."

After the two negotiated the transaction plan, they left the scene immediately.

　The next chapter should be able to fully wrap up the plot.
