Wushi Luo's mansion, living room.
Zhao Hao walked in the main seat, Wu Shiluo walked beside his left leg, and Fou Xiao He walked on the right.
Zhao Hao introduced Zhongxian last month and left Xiao He in Mingyue to introduce him, but because the people coming in Mingyue were all businessmen, he didn't have to introduce them one by one.
At this time, Asan, who came to the banquet first, was tasting the Daqin delicacies prepared by Wu Shiluo's people.
Zhao Hao, on the other hand, was sipping tea while sizing up the foreign businessmen present. Anyone who looked at him the wrong way looked at each other and smiled, appearing very amiable.
Foreign merchants are basically a group of 'frugal' people, so if they bring more Daqin products back to the Western Regions, they are reluctant to eat or wear them, and use all their money to purchase goods.
So when faced with such a sumptuous feast, each of them was like a starving ghost reincarnated, eating and drinking indiscriminately.
Obviously, Wu Shiluo had known their nature for a long time and did not show any displeasure. On the contrary, he enjoyed the feeling of "being charitable".
Somehow, a strange idea suddenly popped into Zhao Hao's mind. Did the Wushi Luo also regard them as savages?
Just when he was thinking about that, Zhai Ji walked in with Kermit and Kulu.
Zhao Hao heard Wu Shiluo say that the two Wusun people often come to Daqin, know the most secret passages, and are the best at dealing with dangers on the road, so he is very interested in those two Wusun people.
"Meet Young Master Hao!"
Zhai Ji took Kermit and Kulu, saluted Zhao Hao and Wu Shiluo in turn, and then said apologetically, "I'm so late in the east, I kept Young Master and Wu Jun waiting for so long, I'm really ashamed!"
"You're welcome, let's go!"
Zhao Hao smiled and waved his legs, gesturing for them to go east.
At the same time, Zhongxian behind Zhao Hao was secretly looking at the two Wusun people. Compared with the foreign businessmen present, the two Wusun people looked very strange.
He walked to his seat and remained silent.
When everyone in the living room had arrived, Wushi Luo, as the host of the banquet, cleared his throat and took the lead in explaining to Zhao Hao: "Sir, those are all the foreign businessmen who cooperate with Wushi Trading Company."
After he finished speaking, he said to the foreign businessmen present: "This banquet is in the name of Fouwu to invite you all, but in reality, Master Fo has requested something to discuss with us. If you are interested, you can ask Master in person."
"Just agree to their conditions, and everything will be easy to negotiate. If you don't agree, nothing will be discussed!"
As soon as Wu Shiluo finished speaking, a businessman from Loulan immediately stopped talking.
When the other foreign businessmen heard this, they all nodded.
Zhao Hao glanced at them and smiled slightly: "He can decide and agree to our conditions, but are we willing to agree to his conditions?"
"May I ask, sir, what conditions do I have?"
Kermit asked calmly.
Zhao Hao glanced at Kermit and said with a smile: "His condition is very simple. I hope that you and his envoy from Great Qin will go to the Western Regions together!"
Hearing those words, all the foreign businessmen present were shocked and couldn't help but look at Kermit.
However, Kermit seemed not to understand what Zhao Hao said, and asked with a puzzled face: "Young master, are you going to check the situation?"
"Does he mean it? Da Qin is going to send envoys to the countries in the Western Region. Can we find the best guide we can't ask for!"
"Guide?"
Hearing this, Kermit looked at Wu Shiluo, who was walking on the left side of Zhao Hao.
Wu Shiluo naturally understood what Zhao Hao meant and explained with a smile: "We travel between the Western Regions and Da Qin. We are very familiar with the terrain along the way and the conditions of the countries in the Western Regions. We know how to avoid danger. Therefore, the young master hopes that we will follow the Da Qin envoy
Let's go to the Western Region together!"
"That"
When the foreign businessmen heard this, they couldn't help but misunderstood each other and looked at each other in confusion.
But Kulu, who was behind Kermit, smiled coldly: "It turns out that at the Mingyue Banquet, we are not discussing business, but we are trying to cut off their financial path!"
"No, Wu Jun, they have cooperated for so many years. I should know their bottom line and take our people to the Western Region. What will they do in the future?"
"No, no, absolutely no! They won't do that business!"
"Wrong! They won't do it! Farewell!"
Seeing all the foreign businessmen, he was suddenly filled with righteous indignation. Wu Shiluo looked at Zhao Hao awkwardly, but Zhao Hao said calmly: "He can guarantee that no trading house will cooperate with us after we leave the hall.
No one dares to accept the things, please think carefully before making a decision."
As soon as these words came out, the foreign businessmen who were about to stand up were suddenly startled and couldn't help but look at Zhao Hao who was walking at the head of the table.
Although it was not the first time for them to see Zhao Hao, the legend of Zhao Hao had long been known to them. Shihuang Quanzi, who looked about the same age as a seven or eight-year-old child, had always been a ruthless character.
He is not only cruel to outsiders, but also to his own people.
For example, among the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, such as the Ying Qin clan, none of them has a soft heart and weak legs.
Therefore, many people secretly teased him as the "little emperor".
There was no way, the First Emperor had wronged his trust and could let him do whatever he wanted.
"After hearing what the young master said, do you plan to threaten them?"
Kermit remained very calm.
Zhao Hao smiled and said, "The Qin Dynasty has made good friends with all foreign friends in the spirit of friendly exchanges. But if we don't appreciate it, we can just do business as usual;
As for the threat, he is just talking about the fact that most of the things we purchased are his property and he doesn’t want to sell them to us, so it won’t be easy for anyone to do it!”
After saying that, he turned to look at Wu Shiluo: "Didn't Wu Jun tell them that he made the porcelain and silk?"
"That"
Wu Shiluo hesitated for a moment, then smiled awkwardly and said, "Young Master is a great talent. He thought they all knew it. It's not the old minister's fault."
After saying that, he looked around at everyone and said seriously: "Young master is right. If he doesn't want to sell to us, no one will dare to agree to our conditions!"
"Can you please, haven't they always cooperated before? It's against business ethics for us to do that!"
"You're right. I didn't expect that the great Qin Dynasty would bully their foreign merchants like this!"
"It's just too much bullying! It's too much bullying!"
As soon as Wu Shiluo finished speaking, the foreign businessmen suddenly became furious.
But that's not the Qin Dynasty. No matter how angry they are, they don't dare to move their legs rashly, so they can roar in anger.
Seeing that the atmosphere outside the hall was a bit tense, Wu Shiluo once again turned his attention to Zhao Hao, only to see Zhao Hao staring at Kermit without blinking: "Kermit, what do I think?"
"Young Master asked Wu Jun to invite them. He definitely didn't want to cause trouble with them. He wanted to hear Young Master's preferential treatment before he considered it."
Kermit smiled lightly.
Zhao Hao's eyebrows were raised, and he felt impressed by the Wusun businessman.
Wong Fang is right, he really won't have any trouble with those foreign businessmen.
The reason for the threat was that he wanted to give those foreign businessmen a prestige and let them know who was the one who made the final decision.
"hehe."
Zhao Hao smiled noncommittally and said: "Wu Jun mentioned me to him many times and said that I was a shrewd foreign businessman. When Ru Ming saw me, I lived up to my reputation!"
"Young Master has received a great reward. Compared with Young Master, I don't dare to be called 'smart' in Dongshi!"
Kermit replied with a smile, then turned to look at Asan at the door.
Ah San nodded calmly, and while everyone's attention was on Zhao Hao and Kermit, he quietly left everyone.
At that time, Zhao Hao was unaware and said: "If you want to be polite, let's talk quickly. Let's talk about the benefits we are most concerned about first, and ask us to be willing to take the Daqin Merchant Group to the Western Regions. All the goods we purchased this time,
Always half price.”
"in addition."
As he spoke, he paused, looked around at the foreign merchants, and said, "I will make the decision again, and each of you will give us ten pieces of porcelain and ten feet of silk!"
"That"
When the foreign businessmen heard this, they couldn't help but feel shocked.
Porcelain is the main product they purchase, and the price of each piece of porcelain is ridiculously expensive.
The specialties from the Western Regions they brought this time, including fine horses, could only be exchanged for twenty pieces of porcelain.
Now Zhao Hao gave each of them ten pieces of porcelain and ten feet of silk, which they simply couldn't even imagine.
If they take those porcelains back to the Western Regions, they will definitely be able to sell them for a good price, and they may even have food and drink for the rest of their lives.
Seeing the foreign businessmen being tempted by Zhao Hao, they were stunned and stunned.
The corner of Wu Shiluo's mouth twitched slightly, remembering what Zhao Hao told him before the banquet: "Businessmen pursue profits. If they don't have the vigilance of the state system, if they ask for huge profits, businessmen will still take risks regardless of their interests."
!”
"It seems that the person who knows businessmen best is none other than Young Master."
