Chapter 291 Monopoly
When we returned to the Dudu Mansion, it was already dusk.
"General Li, I've been waiting for you for a long time when you come back."
When Ruan Donglang saw Li Xun, he stood up, held his hands in his hands, and said with a smile.
Li Xun asked strangely: "Didn't you go to the Dashi Empire? It was less than a month, and you came back so soon?"
As he spoke, Li Xun sat across from Ruan Donglang and waved his hand, indicating that he should also sit down.
"Things over there are going very smoothly, so I'll come back quickly."
Ruan Donglang sat down and chuckled: "There are so many differences between the Dashi Empire and ours in terms of life, customs, etc. I am not used to staying there."
A soldier brought a cup of tea. Li Xun took a sip, looked at Ruan Donglang, and said, "I don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. What do you want to do when you come today?"
The three businessmen who first approached me, Rahman, Gudusi, and Ruan Donglang, more than a year later, although the first two people had a lot of contacts with me, they were not many, and they always kept a certain distance.
, thinking about it, the Municipal Shipping Department has been established, and Li Xun is not the official in charge. If they have any problems, they can go to Liu Yu directly. Only Ruan Donglang has always maintained a considerable enthusiasm for Li Xun, giving him this and that every now and then.
, Li Xun did not refuse, and accepted everything as ordered, but he also said it beforehand, I will help you if you can do it, and don’t blame me if you can’t.
"General Li, I found a trade route over the big stone, which may be of some help to you."
Li Xun smiled: "I don't know anything yet."
Ruan Donglang smiled faintly and said softly: "Dashi's war horses are famous far and wide. They are strong and have great endurance. They are much stronger than the horses in your hands."
Li Xun was stunned for a moment, leaned forward slightly, and said softly: "Can you do it?"
Ruan Donglang nodded: "I can provide the general with at least a thousand big stone war horses every year."
A thousand war horses is not a lot, but it is not a lot.
"A thousand war horses is not a small amount. What's the price?"
Ruan Donglang smiled and said: "General Li, you have misunderstood me. The war horses on the big stone are converted into our money. The price of each horse is not less than five hundred taels of silver. Every year, I said a thousand big stone horses per year."
The war horses are given to you for free, general. If the number exceeds this number, you will have to pay for it yourself."
Hearing what Ruan Donglang said, Li Xun didn't look happy at all. One horse was five hundred taels, and one thousand horses was at least five hundred thousand taels of silver. This was not a small number.
Li Xun sat upright and said softly: "The total annual profit you make here is probably less than 500,000 taels of silver. You are a businessman. If you do this, it will be a loss-making business."
Ruan Donglang smiled: "Every bustle in the world is for profit, and all the hustle and bustle in the world is for profit. The general is right. As a businessman, I will naturally not do business at a loss."
Li Xun said: "Speak clearly, what do you want from me?"
"It's actually very simple. It's easy for you to sit down, General Li."
Ruan Donglang said: "Although the trade between the two empires of Dashi and Jin was only one year, it developed extremely rapidly. Dashi has more food, but Jin is lacking in this aspect. I have an idea, General
Is it possible to restrict a certain type or multiple commodities?”
"How to restrict it? Trade between both sides is carried out freely. How can I impose restrictions? I don't have that much energy."
Ruan Donglang said softly: "It's very simple, such as food. General, please ask me to be your spokesperson. If Dashi wants to export food to Dajin, it must go through my hands."
monopoly?
Li Xun looked at Ruan Donglang in surprise. In this era, there are actually people with such advanced consciousness. After dating Ruan Donglang for more than a year, he originally thought that this person was not simple. But now it seems that he is really not simple, at least in the field of business.
In terms of being decisive, courageous, and daring to take action, there are probably not many people in the world who can compare to such a businessman.
Li Xun frowned in thought and remained silent for a long time.
It's actually not a big deal to leave the grain to Ruan Donglang, but if you really do this, what impact will it have on you? Competition will be relatively fair. If Ruan Donglang monopolizes the grain trade, wouldn't the price be the same?
You can decide whatever you want to do? By that time, I’m afraid I’ll have to ask for something from him.
