Chapter 296: Venice Scroll (12)

The public security in the Italian society before and after the Renaissance is very strange. On the one hand, the marty society (la :::
the big family with feudal customs) is full of grudges, but on the other hand, the commercial behavior here is quite safe, many People will feel at ease with tens of thousands of gold credits or thousands of gold coins in cash, etc., and other people are not slack because of Huang Xuan's too few followers.
In fact, in a commercial city such as Venice, if the merchants cannot obtain financial security, then its development will be hindered, and until the end of the century, this is the world's commercial center.
In this city surrounded by water, logistics is quite developed. There are many warehouses on the canal. Each store has its own site, its own fleet, and even its own dock workers. In this city of only 100,000 people Here, the value created each year is the same as elsewhere.
If the foreign buildings are not too old, Huang Xuan almost thought he was walking in the business district of Nanjing.
Joseph Medici is also a frequent visitor to Venice. He sits in a chair on the right deck and relaxes with coffee from central Italy. Mesero sat behind Huang Xuan with his body undone. Compared with the Medici family, it was only the side branch of the Perot family who had a chance to sit with Joseph Medici because of a transaction.
Huang Xuan was sitting next to Joseph.
The young Mr. Medici believes that since Huang Xuan is an Italian who can own hundreds of thousands of gold Ducat. Then he can naturally sit on par with the Medici family. This is fair.
Huang Xuan did not thank Mr. Medici in front of him for a little, and he even had no mood to compliment Joseph.
In the busy time, Huang Xuan naturally thought of the Space-Time Administration, a institution.
The three men came quietly to the old warehouse area near St. Mark's Square.
Huang Xuan temporarily rented three warehouses here. Because it is far away from the place before the three people. Li Shenggang did not come here to see the grain. In this case, 100,000 gold coins are involved:
.. Managers are difficult and will not try to do everything.
Xiao Huang got out of the boat. After asking two Italian gentlemen, they asked, "Nick, did Lu Min deliver their stuff?"
"Shi Yu said that he has purchased about 120 spices, mainly pepper and cardamom, because buying from the trading floor requires a buffer period ..."
"Then put these spices in these two warehouses first, and put the grain back into the aisle. Pepe contributed"
"The great yellow master, frequent opening of the plane channel is a very resource consuming thing. Considering the material and energy in the current plane channel. You will waste about RMB yuan every time you turn on."
Huang Xuan snorted and said, "Nick, do you want to be the most expensive doorman in history?"
"Oh, Master, Nick's body should jump with your ambitions, if you want to own the most expensive hotel in history."
"Change spices." Huang Xuan growled.
"Okay, if you don't want to continue this topic." Nick seems to be a skilled student, after he finished his work, he bargained: "Yellow master, just today, you are equivalent to breaking a Mercedes 600:
"People have to look forward." Huang Xuan said with his mouth, and he also moved forward. The materials on the R plane passing through the passage have their own packaging methods, and the area of ​​the spices is indeed not small.
After arriving at the nearest warehouse, he waited a few seconds for Huang Xuanfang to let the management of the warehouse open the door.
A tangy aroma.
Of course, this is for the Venetians.
From Huang Xuanwen, it was like a playground for sneezing.
Every day the Venetian meets the valuables of one warehouse and one warehouse, just like the workers of a money printing factory. There is no passion to wonder. No one seems to have come to this warehouse yesterday to load things? Should check records.
Joseph and Mercero were pleasantly surprised.
It is not that their concentration is better than others, but because the profits that these things can bring belong to them.
Joseph pretended to wipe his face and put away his ecstatic appearance, and asked with a serious look: "Mr. Xhosa, can you introduce your spices in detail?"
"Half is pepper, half is cardamom, and all is Indian goods. There are about 10,000 pounds of spices in this warehouse." Huang Xuan shrugged, and it was quite hard. The spices in it are normally said at this moment. I don't know how much error Nick puts in. After all, it is not necessary to control the precise energy consumption of the plane channel.
Messer used only a moment to calculate the value of these spices, at least 52 gold Ducat. More profit than Perot ’s two years.
People usually call the big merchants in Venice, their assets should be more than 5 gold Ducat, a few people should have 100,000 gold Ducat. Pepe contribution For the latter, their annual turnover should also be around 100,000 Ducat. As for the 500,000 gold Ducat, this is already the total value of many people ’s assets. Some people will temporarily have so much money at certain times, and it is natural to have a family with 500,000 gold Ducat that can last for many years. Standing in the world
In terms of food equivalent, such a warehouse of spices is equivalent to an asset of 3,000 US dollars, and 120 spices are worth 104 gold Ducat and 6000 dollars. Back in time a hundred years ago, Comrade Shen Wansan of the Ming Dynasty changed the seller's capital, but this is too much.
Joseph naturally calculated the prices of these spices. He and Messer looked at each other and said: "130,000 pounds of spices are divided by three companies. Although there are many, there are still some
Neither the Medici family nor the Perot firm can take out cash in a short time, just as Huang Xuan cannot. But people in the three areas are not worried about the total amount of commodities, because if it is to exchange commodities, for Sanfang, it is a very profitable thing.
Venice is a distribution center for world commodities. When something is scarce. The speed of its sales will make the Fed feel scared.
Huang Xuan turned his head. I understood Joseph's idea, 520,000 gold Ducat to spice. Increased price to 600,000 gold Duka
Yes, but if you only earn tens of thousands of gold coins, it is too boring. When the problem arises, the merchants will naturally try to expand the supply.
Huang Xuan smiled and stared at Joseph. "Actually, I still have a warehouse."
Joseph also felt a little embarrassed, half an hour ago. He was also disdainful because Huang Xuan couldn't get the money. At this moment, all negative emotions were carefully inserted into his trouser pockets.
Venice is definitely a city with milk and motherhood.
At this time, Mesero had to say: "Mr. Medici, Mr. Xhosa, I think we should divide these spices by two." If there are three, the Medici and Sandro family will take three Two-half spice.
Perot ’s leather alone is worth 120 gold Ducat, which is not the property of Perot ’s family, in other words. The Perot family cannot make as much profit as the Medici family. Of course, the risk is reduced accordingly.
Huang Xuan immediately nodded and agreed: "So who will bid for this warehouse?"
"Me." The two men grabbed it again.
Huang Xuan pursed his lips and said, "Ivory and rhino horn are easier to transport, so let the Medici family come first. Mr. Perot waits a moment."
"Okay." To be able to get one-half, Mesero was already satisfied.
Huang Xuan smoothly turned on the energy screen and said, "Mr. Medici, like 4800, total value of Carter, 4 pounds of rhinoceros, 80,000 Ducat, plus fractions, a total of 43 Golden Ducat, right."
"Yes."
Huang Xuan pondered for a while, and said: "The grains under investigation are 750 bushels, for every 6 ducats, then it should be 45 ducats. With the 52 ducats of this batch of spices, there are 970,000 ducats, right? "
"Yes."
Huang Xuan took a breath and looked at the figures calculated by Nick, saying: "Without counting the deposit I gave you, you should now pay all the ivory and rhino horns, plus then you should also pay 270 pounds of wool . I hope the delivery can be completed by this evening. "
"Pozzo." Joseph shouted loudly, "Pozo, go and deliver the items on the list, immediately."
It is almost noon, and the Venetian merchants value the accurate delivery time. In the words of the current people, it is about hundreds of thousands of minutes.
Huang Xuan nodded in satisfaction, and then asked the warehouseman to close the door, and said to Joseph: "In fact, tomorrow, I should have one or two ships of spices ashore, if you need, you should advance Prepare wool, after all, this is a commodity. In addition, some celebrity paintings, I mean artworks on wooden boards or drawing boards, can also be used as bargains. "
"I see." Joseph was somewhat ashamed.
Huang Xuan shrugged and went to the warehouse on the other side with the manager of the warehouse, saying: "Mr. Perot, the same thing, the same price, are you going to pay with leather?"
"Of course." The pungent "scent" opened by the warehouses intoxicated Meselo Perot.
"If possible, I still want to include those ivory and rhino horns, is there about 2000?"
"As you wish." Mesero even put away his favorite bargain.
Huang Xuan also relaxed a little, saying: "So like Mr. Medici, if you need more spices and food, then I hope to see more leather in the port area of ​​tomorrow."
"I will store the leather in the nearby warehouse together." Mesello said quite well.
"Well, then you check the goods." Huang Xuan said two steps back. There are still three days left, and the process of block trading will definitely collapse any businessman.
What supported them to do this tedious work was just the spur of money.
...
Three days and two nights, Huang Xuan never closed his eyes again.
The night breeze of Venice is mixed with the smell of the sea, hiding in the thick wooden deck, you can also feel the special humidity. The worker's trumpet sounds never ceased from the beginning. ; Boats and sampans coming and going have blocked most of the canal.
It was not just the Medici family and the Perot business that joined it.
Due to the soundness of the guild system in Venice, even the Medici family cannot really eat solitary food. At the same time, in order to reduce risks, the two parties have unanimously started extensive cooperation with their own alliance chamber of commerce.
If you open the list of the world's richest people, people can hardly see the name of any Venetian businessman. But if we calculate the wealth of the major families in Venice, the accumulation of these families, which occupy the world's prosperous 300, cannot be matched by any country or individual.
Huang Xuanqiang opened his eyes and watched the workers below count the number busyly, with at least seven or eight representatives of chambers of commerce standing beside them.
The Venetian merchants' credit makes them rarely do business ethics in the transaction process, and with Nick's help, Huang Xuan does not need to worry too much about it.
The reason why he can't really rest is that he needs to find any reasonable or unreasonable excuses ~ EbookFREE.me ~ to put the changed materials into the plane channel.
Even if time does not allow the people here to have any special suspicions, Huang Xuan still can't openly shove things into the plane channel under the eyes of all eyes and have to run around the canal.
Even in order to make the transaction smoother, he had to buy several merchant ships.
And Li Shenggang's work is naturally harder than Huang Xuan.
He hired up to 300 people, counted the quantity and weight of ivory, leather, and wool in each warehouse, and also answered questions from other businessmen, and even had to evaluate the artwork. If Nick was not helping, these jobs might require him to do 6 months.
The Venetian merchants represented by the two business activities can bear 200 gold Ducat's materials in and out every day, and by the third day, Huang Xuan has begun to purchase woolen wool-all the wool is exhausted.
What restricts the speed of transactions is not the supply of Huang Xuan, but the inventory of Venetian goods.
During the hard time fighting the Sandman, Huang Xuan happily forgot the threat of the Space and Time Administration. Maybe just for a moment.
