Chapter 294: Venice Scroll (10)

Unannounced picked up the list and bought 1 million more than 20 million hot circles on the R plane. Is it really profitable? The price that Luo Neng lowered does not make much sense.
Nick quickly translated the list into Chinese, and saw that the Sandro Chamber of Commerce divided the ivory into third-class, first-class products of 120 cartons each, a total of 800; second-class products of 70 ducat, a total of 3000, third-class products 50 Ducat, total
Huang Xuan calculated for a moment, as far as the food price is concerned, each ivory here is equivalent to about 10-20 tons small. More than 5000 dollars, and the information collected from Lorraine. =. The price of ivory (6 kg) is 25 yuan, but this is used to confiscate property. The price of ivory per kilogram in the international market is slowly reaching the threshold of 45,000 yuan, and: expensive, a larger ivory can weigh 20 kilograms. Doubled into 20 US dollars, the lighter ones will also be worth about 4 US dollars. This item alone is a bill of hundreds of millions of US dollars.
He couldn't help but sigh, the money for plane travel is really profitable.
Thinking about the maintenance and upgrade costs of the three bases, he lamented again, how can this money be spent so quickly?
Seeing Huang Xuan's face change, Sandro asked with some concern: "Mr. Xhosa, this is only a preliminary offer. If you have any ideas, we can still discuss it."
Huang Xuan's "huh" sound. Frowning, said: "These ivory are worth 350,000 gold Ducat, it seems to exceed my budget." He said and looked at the rhino horn, compared with ivory, the price of rhino horn is more approachable. There are only two gears. First-class products are 4 gold ducats per kilogram> 2 ducats. Pepe contributes to the international market, the price per kilogram of African rhino horn is more than 5000 dollars. During the peak period, it can reach 15,000 US dollars per kilogram. As for the smuggling process, for example, in the domestic market of certain medicinal materials, the price of rhino horn powder is occasionally more than 500 yuan per gram.
Sandro has long taken into consideration Huang Xuan's needs. He listed such a chapter list, and did not expect Huang Xuan to buy all the land, mainly to provide a choice. He smiled slightly and said, "So what's the price of rhino horns and wool and wool?"
The rhino horn has a total weight of about 3 kg, and the price is only more than 80,000 gold Ducat,>. Up to 500,000 horses, each of which sells 12 Florin (20 gold Ducat), the wool is 100 Ducat, not Very cheap, it should have been affected by the British war, but the increase is not very high, after all, Spain is also a European wool power. England has not yet had a decisive influence.
Huang Xuan saw the amount of woolen cloth and smiled, glancing at Joseph. "The Medici family intends to sell a lot of woolen cloth and wool?"
In Italy, the only one that can produce 500,000 woolen cloths is Florence and Neto, and the only one family that can produce 500,000 woolen cloths is the Froch family.
"At this time, the family still needs some food to ensure the demand for the land. Of course, wool is also needed." Joseph did not hide his identity.
Upon hearing this, Huang Xuan immediately understood that the inventory of these ivory and other luxury goods is indispensable for the inventory of the Medici family. In fact, this is normal. After all, for a business firm, the trading volume of Wanjin Ducat is It is already very large, and the storage of 350,000 Ducat, as in the 21st century, is also the world's 500. The Medici family that owns Florence can be understood as a big family with modern London in terms of status and wealth.
Huang Xuan ’s mental calculations were the foundation he had laid down as a child, and he had not lost them. With Nick ’s detailed list, he soon knew how much gold coins he would have to pay if he bought the materials from the Medici family: ivory and Rhino horn is 420,000 Ducat, and buying 200 pounds of wool requires 200 gold Ducat, which is almost impossible, let alone 500,000 wool.
What's more, some of the Perot Chamber of Commerce did not come forward.
Just thinking of this, I heard a servant stepping up on the ladder, and Huang Xuan looked out, it was Mercero of the Perot family.
Sandro stood up to greet Mesereau. Before he stepped up, he quickly said: "If Mr. Xhosa returns to China recently, he will be completely
Some spices go back, the price of spices in Venice is rising, if you want to come outside, if you need, we can buy it for you. "
Their main purpose is to buy this batch of grain. If they pay purely with gold coins, it is still a bit difficult. Only a considerable amount of materials can raise funds in a short time.
Huang Xuan turned his eyes on, blaming himself for being stupid, and asked Venus, "What about the purchase price?"
In Europe in the 15th century, the desire for spices was difficult for people after the 19th century to understand, because for a long time, Europeans have been simple and rough in the preparation of diets. They have always marinated beef with strong red sandalwood for a long time. Lamb. However, as long as a little pepper, clove or other spice powder is added, they will become delicious dishes. This makes the Europeans who have tasted it once, involuntarily fascinated by it.
In addition, in this period of Europe, the preservation technology is very backward, and they have a habit of eating meat. After slaughtering (animals) in winter, they hang there, and the problem is very serious by spring. In order to keep the meat longer, and make the meat not too smelly even after the taste is rotten, this spice is more important.
However, the price of the spices themselves is not expensive. His high price is due to the fact that Europe is far away from the spice producing areas of the East. Since the 13th century, peppers everywhere in the East have been calculated from European grains. Don't call it, those ladies often sprinkle a little spice water on their bodies, in the car, and immediately, swaying the market, yes, not perfume, but spice water.
A large number of navigators such as Columbus, the most original reason for the successor can be attributed to: looking for spices, or looking for the waterway to the area where spices are produced.
Huang Xuan also thought of spices at first, but because he had brought 100 tons of food, he thought it was enough. Where did he think that the Venetian was so rich? The next time, he began to be busy with the calculation of time and the location of the warehouse. , Almost forget the things that can make the most money.
Sandro slowly stretched out 4 fingers and said: "100400 Jin Ducat."
Huang Xuan couldn't help but say "I have".
The 15th century was the peak of the price of spices. Furthermore, the peak of the entire history of mankind was created around 1455.
In those days before 1443, the Portuguese had less than 3 cartels in pepper, but sold at a high price of 40 cartels in Lisbon. At that time, the Europeans were already grumpy because of such huge profits.
But compared with the price after the Ottoman Turkish Empire captured Constantinople, it was dwarfed. When the Turks completely controlled the Balkans and Asia Minor and were able to cut off long-term trade routes between the East and the West, because the imperial team ransacked the caravans and imposed heavy taxes on the past merchants on the occupied land, the price of spices rose rapidly and caused The acquisition of spices is even more difficult. According to reports, the pepper purchased at one Eastern Ducat gold coin at the time was more than 300 Ducat gold coins after reaching the European market through checkpoint delivery!
The profit of 300 is 100,300.
With the outbreak of the Rose War ~ EbookFREE.me ~, it is foreseeable that more ships will be recruited to participate in non-commercial or semi-commercial activities, and more experienced crews will also come down from their posts. This means that the price of spices will continue to rise.
Huang Xuan shone his eyes with a dark tone to Nick: "Ask Lu Min that they bought a lot of cardamom, black pepper, chili, cloves, cinnamon, coriander ..." Then, he asked again: "What else?"
"The great yellow host, does it mean that spice is enough?" Nick asked timidly.
"I want something from this era, and I need to be familiar with it. Immediately, speed." Huang Xuanlian said twice before putting away some changed faces.
Joseph thought Huang Xuan was frightened by this price, and snorted disapprovingly, saying: "The price of spices will continue to increase and continue to increase, so it is best to buy some now."
Huang Xuan began to laugh unabashedly. His smiling face was cramped. The smiling Mr. Medici was a little angry and angry. Only then did he shout at the dumbfounded Sandro: "I remember, I brought spices."
"You brought the spices?" Mercero, who happened to come up, accelerated slowly, and ran to Huang Xuan said: "Oh, I think the Portuguese have given up, how many spices do you have."
