Chapter 712 Horse Trading
"Yes, this is a unique fried tea in Youzhou. Tea shops in Youzhou City are sold and can be found on the street."
Shan Xiongxin took a few sips of tea and felt that the person in front of him was not simple, and he was smarter than many businessmen he had met.
If he drinks a tea, he will inform the tea shop. If he likes to drink this taste, he will know where to buy such tea after leaving the city lord's mansion.
I have to say that the person in front of me is really too smart.
"My name is Xu Laifu, who is the head of the business station of the business bank. What is the objective name?"
"Only speaking."
Xu Laifu had just heard the introduction of the woman who welcomed the guest. At this time, he asked straight to the point: "How many horses do you want to buy by the shopkeeper?"
Shan Xiongxin thought about it for a while and said, "Twenty thousand horses."
Thinking about it added: "War Horse."
Xu Laifu immediately took out the list and said, "The ones we sell this time are all good war horses, with a market price of 35 jin per horse and a total price of 700,000 jin."
Shan Xiongxin felt that it was really expensive. Horses must be good horses. Who doesn’t know that these horses are all Turkic and cannot envy them, so who makes them unable to take them down?
Xu Laifu is good at observing his expressions and seems to see that the price is a bit difficult for the other party to accept, but he still said before the other party's words: "On the shopkeeper, 700,000 guan is really not expensive, I'll calculate it for you."
"Our war horses are fed with concentrated feed, ensuring that each war horse is strong. We can provide five days of feed before you take these horses away. Including this fee, you will not lose money. Go to Chang'an and Luoyang to buy each horse with a value of at least five to ten cents of stake."
In order to keep the war horses valuable, Xu Laifu said all kinds of benefits, and the feed is really a real discount.
"The price is still a bit expensive. I hope it can be more discounted for 20,000 horses." Shan Xiongxin was embarrassed to negotiate the price after hearing Xu Laifu's introduction.
The price of war horses is already expensive, and those who know horses like them know very well about the cattle and horse movements of the Sui Kingdom.
If he bought a mount by himself, it would be no problem for 180 stakes, but now he represents Wagang Village, and such a large amount is involved, so he has to be careful.
Xu Laifu didn't care much about the price, but just said, "Shopkeeper, I wonder if he has time to go shopping in the Niuma Market in Youzhou?"
"I have time." Shan Xiongxin thought about it and agreed.
The cattle and horse shop in Youzhou is in the suburbs outside Youzhou City. Xu Laifu brought Shan Xiong's letter to the cattle and horse market. Unlike the normal cattle and horse market, all the horses with sheds are stables.
The scale is very large. Usually, if you have the conditions, you can set up some sheds in the cattle and horse market. If you don’t have the conditions, you will directly wrap the horses together.
If they did not mention that this is the cattle and horse market, they would think that this is a place to raise horses.
Actually, it's true.
The cattle and horse market entities in Youzhou all provide breeding, and the horses raised are artificially fed, and the horses provided in Liaobei are all grazing, which saves costs, but also destroys the grassland.
After Xu Laifu and the others came in, there was still a deal in various large stables, and it was not suitable for them to join in the fun at this time.
After entering the cattle and horse market, sales staff from the market came to explain to the people.
Xu Laifu and Shan Xiongxin are listening to someone’s introduction.
"The 40,000 war horses reserved in Youzhou are very in short supply. The horses are all good war horses here, and the horse's hooves are well protected. They are all those who have experienced many battles and are not easy to be surprised. Objectively, which one can take the test ride if you like it."
The sales staff made great efforts to introduce Shan Xiongxin, who was a good player, could tell the quality of a horse at a glance.
All the horses you see are excellent, and each thirty-five stanza seems to be really inexpensive now.
"The price of horses will change slightly every day. It may be sold for 40 tons tomorrow. In the past two days, a total of 5,000 war horses have been sold. I heard that there is a big order."
Shan Xiong was confident that I wouldn't be me that big order, but I soon realized that it was not. Sales staff Meitian talked about these things, and it was no secret that how many horses they sold.
Because the sales of 40,000 war horses will not last long, he will not say that the statistics will be announced.
These are all for reference for businessmen.
Shan Xiongxin visited the cattle and horse market for a long time. Each of the boutique BMWs in the horse farm is unique and has a strong attraction to the generals.
Once you find out the price, you can find that the high-quality BMWs start at 100% off, so you can only take a look at them.
Xu Laifu did not tell Shan Xiongxin about horse orders, so he directly sent them back to the inn to give them room to think.
Shan Xiongxin needs to think about it. The price of thirty-five stakes is not cheap. Today he already knows the price of horses in Youzhou. Ordinary horses must be thirty stakes.
The horses traded on a daily basis all come from the northern part of Liao. There is really a difference between horses that have not been trained and carefully fed.
After Xu Laifu returned to the city lord's mansion, he immediately sent the news to the guards. He was interested in purchasing 20,000 war horses, which must be one force.
After receiving the news, the guard immediately sent someone to investigate. Of course, the name Shan Yan couldn't find anything, but their convoys were still at the barracks.
Hong Mudan's intelligence personnel were dispatched and soon obtained first-hand information. The identities of people from Wagang Village were immediately known.
It's really hard for these people to hide it.
After the investigation was clear, Li De also learned about the forces from Wagang Village. Shan Xiongxin had seen them. Business is business and he had nothing to intervene.
During the period at Hao Inn, Shan Xiongxin returned to the inn in the suburbs and told him about the matter. After all, Li Mi's people were also here.
He will not be the only one who returns to the inn in the city.
So for the second time, Shan Xiongxin brought a few more people.
Xu Laifu was the same reception, but the price was not negotiated at all, but he saw other people's business transactions in the bull and horse market.
The horses used to be sold in front of them in one day, and at this speed, these horses may be sold in less than half a month.
But Shan Xiongxin and others still didn't look anxious at all.
Shan Xiongxin was not in a hurry. He was waiting for the people from Wagang to go to other state prefectures to conduct market research. When they were anxious, the spies from Wagang finally came back.
"The market price of a high-quality war horse is thirty to forty-five stakes, and an ordinary horse is almost stable to twenty to thirty-five stakes."
"Do you think you can accept the price of Zhiyouzhou?"
Shan Xiongxin had already known that if you want to resell, the price of horses in Youzhou would be slightly higher, but the real situation is known. The Sui State lacks horses, and now the only one who can provide such horses is probably Youzhou.
The next day, Shan Xiongxin found Xu Laifu and completed the horse transaction. The money was directly counted by the pioneer soldiers in the camp and then pulled away.
When the business was negotiated, Shan Xiongxin sent someone to send a letter back to Wagang, and the transportation of horses could not be done by them alone.
The horse handover is completed, and this news cannot be hidden.
Only after Wagang Village brought the horses back did all forces in a hurry to send people to Youzhou.
