Such small, high-priced goods can earn huge profits without even being shipped to Europe. Sea ships can exchange them for other goods at various trading ports along the way to Europe. In fact, Li Luoyu never thought of shipping them directly.

To be shipped to Europe, his plan is to sell part of these Australian goods to Goa, and then transport them to India, the Red Sea coast, and the Eastern Mediterranean region by Portuguese merchants. Some of them will be given to Quark, who will transport them to Surat and resell them directly to the locals.

A British businessman. Of course, this secret cannot be told.

"I am willing to sell 100,000 pieces every year, including 50,000 pieces of porcelain, 30,000 pieces of lacquerware, and 20,000 others." Li Luoyou said, "The price is 50% off your retail price in Guangzhou."

"It's too cheap..." Li Mei shook her head directly. Of course Li Mei couldn't agree - the current purchase price given by Zichengji to Gaoji is 40% off the retail price. If Li Luoyou is given a 50% discount, he will invest in the domestic market.

This business could bring Gao Li's business to a complete failure. What Li Mei hated and feared the most when doing business was "cross-selling". Dealers took advantage of regional price differences to dump goods, and in the end the prices were reduced to a pulp, and no one made any money.

"To open up channels in Europe, the 50% discount is not an exaggeration. Besides, I have to ship to Portugal, which is thousands of miles away and full of dangers."

"Your ship doesn't need to go to Europe," Li Mei almost said, "In fact, you have never been to Portugal." But then she thought about it and decided to forget it, to save face. "As long as it is shipped to Goa or Surat

You can get rid of it."

Li Luoyou's smile was a little dull. There were almost no people in Goa or Surat in the Ming Dynasty. There were many maritime merchants in the Ming Dynasty, but they either went to Japan or to Southeast Asia. They were interested in places like Manila and Batavia.

Very familiar with it, but know nothing about Indian routes.

"Besides, we already have a trade agreement on the Goa route." Li Mei still remembered the Lingao-Goa route monopoly agreement signed with Li Huamei last year. This agreement will not expire in a few months, and

The general opinion of the commercial sector is to no longer grant trade monopoly rights, but to adopt a free trade policy. However, this monopoly argument can be used to increase its own price.

The two parties launched lengthy negotiations on this issue. Finally, a trade agreement was reached with Li Luoyou. Li Luoyou can transport and sell all products on the catalog of goods that the group allows export to areas other than Southern Zhili and Guangdong and Guangxi, including

Liaodong; the discounts on these items are consistent with the discounts given to Gao Li.

"In this case, my cost will be much higher than that of Gao Li." Li Luoyou was dissatisfied with this condition, "My expenses on roads are much greater than his."

"If he wants to transport the goods to Liaodong or the capital for sale, he will still have to pay the transportation cost. Your conditions are the same on this point." Li Mei said, "Distance is profit, distance is price. You and all businessmen know that

.”

For goods sold to Surat and Goa, Crossing Group will give an additional 0.5 discount. This discount adopts a rebate model. That is, Li Luoyou pays the full price at the time of purchase, and the discount will be used after the end of a financial year.

Return it to Li Luoyou. As for the use of the goods, it is up to you to use cash or negotiable certificates.

For goods exported to Surat and Goa, a trade agreement for the second year must be signed in November of the previous year, specifying the order quantity and type, and the Crossing Group will give it a 10% floating limit. If the order amount exceeds the floating limit

If the limit is exceeded, the rebate discount will be cancelled.
