Chapter 56
The welcome in Ziyun Village is absolutely grand. The blue brick street has been washed with water. This is definitely a luxury in Arabia with yellow sand. There are groups of merchants next to the road. Zhao Xu can see clearly from their clothes that they are all the top figures among merchants.
"Well, this Hassan is a conscientious person. Knowing that I had occupied Bosaro, he put forward such a battle to please me. Only in this way, Hassan is a person worthy of intercourse.
Zhao Xu was quite satisfied with Hassan's approach. He knew that at least the purpose of his visit this time was not difficult for Zhao You to achieve it. So, who had just occupied Bershallo, and he was not staying in the city to prepare for defense, so what should he do here?
There is only one reason: he needs equipment, and what he needs is not the equipment of the Arab Empire, those Mamluk cavalry. When the armor of the Yulin Armor series began to be sold, the original armor of the Mamluk cavalry was completely eliminated. Protection is of course the main reason, but more importantly, the Yulin Armor series produced in China, its armor pieces, components, and all levels are universal.
Especially the armor on soldiers. As soldiers on the front line, their armor is most likely to be damaged. Then you can easily repair a set of armor by finding spare parts. In the past, the armor of the Mamluk cavalry did not have this ability. If you want to repair a set of armor, how much it costs is one thing, and the important thing is that the cycle is too long.
On the battlefield, nothing is more important than repairing weapons and equipment and preparing for a war. You may face conquests from other cities in the province of Bershall and even from the Arab Empire. Although Zhao Xu is not afraid of having hot weapons, if the armor is not ready in time, it will be a huge problem.
The most important thing is weapons, but in terms of weapons, a lot of them obtained from the Bersalo defenders are enough for the time being. However, if you look at it a little longer, you should know that a weapon is indispensable for Chinese supplies. Zhao Xu himself has the only weapon that is firearms. In addition, other weapons must require Chinese supplies, especially if they go to war with the Arab Empire.
This is why Zhao Xu came here, and he had to do this in advance. If the Arab Empire came to attack, he would have to have enough weapons and equipment, as well as storage of armor and other war materials before that. Therefore, when the owner of Hassan took the stance to greet him, Zhao Xu was very polite to him, which was completely different from his performance in Bosaro's court.
"You're so polite, Hassan, you're so polite. I'm really not necessary for such a pomp. Just think that I'm still the Zhao Xu from the past!"
The smile on Hassan's fat face made his eyes, which were still rolling around, completely "disappeared" at this moment. He is no longer the shrewd Hassan, he is a passionate businessman.
"Hey, where did you come from? You are the new owner of our province of Bershallo. I am just a small businessman. If you can come to my village, it really makes me look bright on my face as the owner!"
Haha, Hassan welcomed Zhao Xu into Ziyun Village. Naturally, he prepared the best banquet and even the best place to live.
"No, no! I can't live here, I will go back to Bosaro soon. Hassan, I thank you for this reception banquet, but I am here to discuss a big business, and I look forward to working with you for a long time!"
When Hassan, the owner of Ziyun Village, heard Zhao Xu's words, he was happy and his original worries were wiped out. Since he was here to do business, he would not use a knife or a gun, which was really not his Hassan's strength.
"Do you do business? Well, this is a good thing. Adult, you know. Hassan doesn't like other things, but he likes doing business! But if you allow me, I suggest we eat and talk! No matter what the business is, you have to let me do my best to achieve this landlord friendship!"
Zhao Xu sat next to Hassan, and naturally there was a dancer who was indispensable for such a grand banquet. All kinds of delicacies were served like flowing water.
"Hasan Manor, I think you understand the situation inside the Zhao family mansion. This time, since I occupied Bosaro, Shu Yuer and the others would definitely not be happy. There was nothing at all, but their weapons and armor were pretty good, I was worried..."
Zhao Xu didn't have more time to talk about it, and as a governor, he didn't dare to make a random offer. Otherwise, Ziyunzhuang would not be far from Bosaro. One thing needed would take place, tens of thousands of troops would be able to fight in one day.
Hassan, the owner of Ziyun Village, now figured out the matter, and he pondered for a moment. He knew that Zhao Xu sold goods and weapons to the Mongolians. Then now, he would definitely not be able to quote such a high price.
"This way, weapons and armor are easy to talk about. If you pay the shipping fee, I will add 5% to make a profit, and this price..."
When the Chinese weapons came out of Ferai, the price was increased. What merchants usually earned was only 10% under transportation and other expenses. Of course, when Zhao Xu sold them to the Mongolians, it was much more expensive. This is why the merchants obtained by Sain Khanbad were more expensive than the goods obtained by the Mongolian general. If the goods were more than 20%, the cost would be terrible.
Zhao Xu thought about it and knew that the price Hassan, the owner of Ziyun Village, offered him, had almost no money. He was a little dissatisfied. What he was dissatisfied was that Hassan, the owner of Ziyun Village, made too little. If he used some old goods or goods to make excuses for him in the future, it would not only affect the money. When it comes to Zhao Xu, it is a problem of life or death! If a businessman, if he makes too little, then this matter must be abnormal.
"Hasan, you need to be a little sincere. You quoted such a low price, what do you make? If you don't make money, is it for me?"
Hassan's little eyes were squeezed together, so he certainly had the idea of renewal. Especially, if this business was done with Zhao Xu, it would be even better.
"That's my personal profit. Although it's not a big deal for Ziyun Village, it's a lot for me personally. Moreover, I think since I call you an adult, I don't understand the business affairs of Borsalo Province. Can you give me a reward to manage it? You don't even have to pay your salary, that 5% is enough for me to earn!"
Hassan's words made Zhao Xu come to only one conclusion.
