Chapter 20 The Novelty of the General Sales Agent

　　"How do you sell your Hyderabad ores?" 　　Wang Chong raised his head and asked. 　　"We do not simply sell the ore. First of all, we do not accept five baht money, copper, silver, and the silver money of Middle Earth does not circulate in our body poison. But gold and jewelry are acceptable!" 　　The two monks said. 　　Wang Chong nodded, this was the same as those Hu merchants in the western region, he was not surprised at all. 　　"In addition, we do not accept individual retail sales. If Your Excellency is merely hunting and wants to buy a few for fun, or buy them in small quantities, please forgive us for not accepting them. It would be better for you to leave as early as possible." 　　The two monks spoke with a serious face later on. The two had not traveled thousands of miles to come to the Middle Kingdom not wanting to sell two ingots of silver and earn a few small amounts of money, but rather wishing to find a large patron. 　　This was the mission they had on their shoulders. 　　"In the end, if a deal is struck, at least half of the goods must be costed in grain, this is the most important and a prerequisite for our deal. If this can be done, only then will you be seen as a true partner by us." 　　"And you and your family will also be honored and appreciated by all of us Body Poisoners, and we in Hyderabad will source to you!" 　　...... 　　The two Body Poison Hoaxers said with a serious face. 　　"Huh?" 　　Wang Chong let out a low cry of surprise. 　　Not accepting five baht coins and copper and silver this was still understandable, but to require that at least half of the content of the transaction be replaced with grain for the loan was really out of Wang Chong's expectation! 　　How can any transaction be replaced by grain? 　　Wang Chong started to think that these two monks were joking, but seeing the serious look on their faces, Wang Chong knew that they were serious. 　　"How?" 　　Wang Chong's mind rose and fell, this could be said to be the strangest content of the deal he had ever heard. However, looking at the gazes of the two men, Wang Chong's heart stirred, and the depths of his mind suddenly sank, recalling some faded memories from his last life: 　　Body Poison and Middle Earth were different! 　　There was a large population there, but it was far less affluent than Middle Earth. 　　According to Wang Chong's understanding, Body Poison was in extreme poverty, war, darkness and chaos most of the time. This also explained why Body Poison was sitting on such a rare and strategic resource like Hyderabad, but never utilized it themselves, instead taking it and selling it all over the world. 　　They needed food, and lots of it! 　　Saying half of it was actually still cryptic, in fact, if they could, I'm afraid that they would like to exchange all of it for food and bring it back to Body Poison. 　　Thinking of this, Wang Chong's mind gradually analyzed. 　　According to his memory, if there were no accidents, Body Poison was in the midst of a great famine. These two monks had come from Body Poison and had a huge appointment on their shoulders. 　　It was no wonder that they weren't interested in small transactions at all. 　　"...... However, this is not easy to do!" 　　Wang Chong frowned, but he remembered something. 　　As long as one had money, theoretically, anything could be purchased in Datang. But the problem was, Datang was under food control. A grain of rice, a grain of grain was difficult to easily sell abroad. 　　"Food for the people is heavenly", in fact, not only in Great Tang, but further back, no matter what dynasty, there was strict food control. 　　These two Hu monks wanted to use half of the grain in lieu of a loan, which was tantamount to giving Wang Chong a difficult problem. Selling grain abroad privately was a dead end! 　　Just based on this one, I am afraid that no one in the entire Great Tang can satisfy these two Hu monks. 　　Wang Chong then reacted, the last life of the Great Tang and Uzi steel such strategic resources lost not without reason. The conditions of these two Hu Monks were by no means something that could be easily met by any one person. 　　Wang Chong deeply felt tricky. 　　But let him just give up on Wuzhi Steel that was also impossible! 　　"...... Is it possible to just cheapen those cannibals for nothing?" 　　Wang Chong frowned in his heart. 　　He knew that in the future, the Great Eaters would become a danger to the heart of the Great Tang. If these people and a large number of Hyderabad ores were allowed, it would certainly be like a tiger with wings. 　　And more importantly, Wang Chong knew that this was not his own fantasy, but a fact that had already happened in his last life. 　　If he was able to eat a large amount of Hyderabad Ore, not only would he be able to profit from it, but he would also be able to invariably weaken the Great Tang's opponents. 　　"No, what the cannibals eat is not rice!" 　　Wang Chong's heart stirred and suddenly remembered something. 　　The cannibals did not eat rice, they ate a huge kind of dates, and further north, the grasslands of Turkic China had never grown any grain. 　　Yet the monks of Hyderabad sold ore in both places equally. 　　Obviously, the "food" in the body of the poisonous people and the Middle Kingdom people understand "food" is very different. You have to know, the body poison is in the middle of a great famine, as long as it is food, where will care so much. 　　Obviously, if you do not notice this point, it is very likely that because of the food control strategy of the Great Tang and talk about collapse. 　　Thinking of this, Wang Chong's heart suddenly became excited. 　　"Two masters, are apples, plows, and these food available?" 　　Wang Chong suddenly asked. 　　The two Hu monks were astonished. But slowly nodded their heads. They had investigated that this kind of rice eaten by the Middle Earth people was very suitable for the Body Poison people, and if this kind of food could be shipped to Body Poison in large quantities, this would be the best. 　　But if not, it would be the same to replace it with something else to eat. 　　Body Poison, right now, is in the middle of a famine! 　　"What about bananas, corn, and sorghum?" 　　Wang Chong continued to ask, with a look of excitement on his face. 　　"That would also work." 　　The two Hu monks looked at each other and nodded. As long as it was food, where would they count then. 　　"Hahaha, what about cows, sheep, and camels?" 　　Wang Chong laughed out loud, thinking further ahead. 　　Although the Great Tang regulated food, the cattle and sheep on the grasslands were not regulated. In the Turkic territories, there was a vast expanse of such livestock. 　　If these Hu monks wanted large quantities of grain, they could completely bypass the state policy of Great Tang and borrow the Turkic people to fulfill their needs. 　　This is the way of a good workaround. 　　"If there are cows and sheep, that would be even better." 　　The two Hu monks said. 　　Compared to fruits like apples and plows that were hard to collect, there was no doubt that "food" like cows and sheep were more popular. As long as they could solve the famine problem of the Body Poison, they were actually not very concerned about what it was. 　　"If Your Excellency and the family behind you can accept this, then next, we can continue to talk." 　　The two Hu monks looked at Wang Chong, obviously much more interested than before. 　　"Then what about the price?" 　　Wang Chong smiled. 　　Having reached the first point of consensus, the atmosphere between the two sides had obviously eased up a lot. 　　"If we go by your Middle Earth's price, Hyderabad ore is roughly 300 taels of gold per junta!" 　　The two men said in a sincere voice. 　　"300 taels of gold?!!!" 　　Wang Chong looked at the two men and was taken aback. 　　"What? Too expensive?" 　　Seeing Wang Chong's expression, the two Body Poison Monks' complexion sank: 　　"300 taels of gold is our low price! It is by no means possible to lower it further!" 　　"I thought we could reach an agreement. If we can't accept this price, we can't work together. -Looks like you and your family aren't really our partners!" 　　...... 　　The attitude of the two Poison Body Monks was much colder, a 180-degree turn from before.The price of 300 taels of gold per junta was the most suitable price that all of them had gathered together and agreed upon before their departure. 　　The High Priestess had clearly stated that if it was lower than this price, there would be absolutely no deal. 　　Hyderabad ore was different from ordinary iron ore, and it was impossible to sell it at ordinary iron ore prices. Before coming to Middle Earth, they had traveled to many other places and had met many people. 　　Among them, regardless of the fact that, like Wang Chong, they were able to speak fluent Sanskrit. At that time, when they heard this price, they also had the same reaction as Wang Chong. 　　If one could not understand the true price of Hyderabad Ore as well as them, then these deals could not be negotiated! 　　"It seems that Middle Earth is not the right place for Hyderabad Ore!" 　　The two men said coldly, and they wanted to turn around and leave. 　　After a few months in Middle Earth Datang, they had actually decided that this place was not suitable for the sale of Hyderabad Ore. According to the two men's plan, they would return to Body Poison in a few more days. 　　When they had just met Wang Chong, the two had thought that it would be different. Unexpectedly, the result was the same. 　　Now Wang Chong's reaction instead prompted the two to be more certain of their initial determination. 　　--Middle Earth was indeed not suitable for Hyderabad Ore! 　　"Wait a minute! Two masters, you have misunderstood!" 　　Seeing the two Hu monks turning to leave, Wang Chong cried and laughed, waving and calling out to the two. 　　Not bad! The price of Hyderabad Ore was indeed expensive, and it was not generally expensive, it was very, very expensive! 　　If 300 taels of gold were used to purchase other iron ores, I am afraid that they could buy dozens of cars. Buying iron ore at this price was absolutely extravagant. 　　However, with the memories of the last life, Wang Chong is deeply, in the latter days the price of these Hyderabad ores will reach the terrible tens of thousands, even more than ten thousand taels of gold, a terrible price. 　　And still have a price, want to buy can not buy! 　　Two Hu monks do not know, Wang Chong is not too expensive, on the contrary, Wang Chong is surprised at how cheap it is! 　　Compared to those sky-high prices in later generations, the current Hyderabad Ore was simply a cabbage price! 　　Wang Chong did not even think that this kind of ore was actually so cheap initially! 　　Of course, Wang Chong would definitely not be stupid enough to say it himself. 　　"Two masters, I can accept the price of 300 gold a jun!" 　　Wang Chong simply said. 　　Hearing these words, the two Hu Monks' complexions cleared up a little, and only then did they stop: 　　"Although 300 gold a jun is not cheap, the 'jun' of our Body Poison is different from the 'jun' of your Middle Earth. In Middle Earth, you only have 30 pounds per jun, but our Body Poison's jun is a 'big jun', with 50 pounds per jun! It's much bigger than your Middle Earth's Jun - the Hyderabad ore you're holding is a Jun!" 　　One of the Hu Monks said, seemingly wanting Wang Chong to feel better. 　　Wang Chong smiled, of course he knew the difference between Body Poison and Middle Earth. However, there was one thing that the two Body Poison Hu Monks had said wrong, the Middle Earth's Yijun didn't have thirty pounds, the actual maximum was just twenty-five or twenty-six pounds. 　　From this point of view, the body poison people are still considered very honest. 　　Moreover, 50 pounds of raw ore 300 two gold, converted down, 1 catty is only 6 two gold, frankly speaking, this is really the price of cabbage. 　　One really caught up with the best time for the Hyderabad ore market! 　　"There is no problem with the price, we can talk business next." 　　Wang Chong said. After satisfying the conditions of these few Body Poisoning Hu Monks, it was his turn to pace himself next. 　　"As long as you can accept our conditions, the rest is of course no problem. How many juns of ore do you want?" 　　The two Hu Monks said. 　　"No, no! Two masters, you have misunderstood!" 　　Wang Chong stretched out a finger and shook it, smiling: 　　"I have come to talk to you with great sincerity. However, there is one thing you guys got wrong. What I want is not how many juns of ore, not one jun, not two juns, not one hundred juns, not one thousand juns ...... What I want to purchase is your Hyderabad's general agent rights to sell in the Middle Kingdom, or even the entire Eastern World!" 　　Wang Chong threw out his conditions! 　　What's the point of a broken sale? What's the point of buying one, two, or even a hundred or a thousand pounds of Hyderabad Ore? 　　A single lump of Hyderabad ore simply cannot form a strong fighting force, nor can it fundamentally enhance the strength of the Great Tang. 　　Wang Chong's ambition was much greater than that! 　　--Wang Chong wanted to body poison the Hyderabad Mountain Range for the next few decades, or even a few hundred years of ore, until it was dug up.
