0403: Isn’T This A Joke?
The dinner was finished in an awkward atmosphere of silence and fake smiles, the maid took the tableware and filled the glasses with wine.
The Marquis of Kogmo sat upright, turned his face and asked, "Your Excellency, Qiao Ji, what is the purpose of coming to Yuege City this time?"
He mainly wanted to find out the purpose of Qiao Ji's trip. The day before yesterday, after he learned that the young man was living in Kogmo Restaurant in Hong Kong, he sent someone to investigate his information.
At the end of the day, I didn't find any useful information. I only know that he eats three meals in a restaurant, and after eating, he goes out to visit the trading market and watch animal performances.
"Go to Beigang Territory to have a look, I haven't been there yet." Qiao Ji said flatly.
"Lord Marquis Qiao Ji, Beigang is a very desolate place." A fat earl said with a smile.
His smile was meant to be joking. After all, the fact that the territory was sealed to Beichen meant that the emperor didn't like this person.
The Fat Earl felt that even if Qiao Ji won the Pingdingshan Fortress for the first time, the person who was introduced as Duke Yuwu would definitely not be favored by the Emperor.
The Emperor's control over power is as perfect as fire, and Duke Yuwu's influence is already great, so it is naturally impossible for him to let the people supported by Duke Yuwu gradually grow stronger.
"That's right, Mr. Marquis Qiao Ji, pirates often come and go there, so it's not a good place." A tall and slender earl added.
His thinking was the same as that of the fat earl, who felt that Qiao Ji was just someone else's pawn. 017
"Your Excellency Qiao Ji, if you have nothing to do in the past, don't go to Beigang, that place is very dangerous." Marquis Kogmore persuaded slowly with a smile on his face.
As soon as the words fell, Marquis Kogmer's eyes flashed a hint of calculation, ready to make Qiao Ji give up the idea of going to Beigang, so as to cooperate with him.
Only in this way, he will have more initiative. After all, if Qiao Ji does not go to the territory, he can only rely on the industry to make money.
However, Yuege City is a big city of trade, so it is the wisest decision to sell products in Yuege City's trading market.
As long as Qiao Ji sells the products in the market in Yuege City, the Marquess of Kogmer will be able to take the lead and take the lead in this cooperation.
Of course, this is just an indirect temptation, mainly for the several properties in the young man's hands.
"It's okay, no matter how good or bad it is, anyway, let's go and have a look if there's nothing else to do." Qiao Ji waved his hand.
"Your Excellency Qiao Ji intends to manage Beigang? If it is... I don't recommend it." The Marquis of Kogmore showed a embarrassed look.
"Lord Kogmaw, what do you say?" Qiao Ji asked with interest.
Of course he could hear the meaning in these people's words, (cgbh) is nothing more than eyeing the property in his hands.
How can two nobles who have never met each other sincerely care about each other, let alone a person with a plan.
"Let's not talk about how desolate Beigang is. The problem is the pirates. The knights brought by His Excellency Qiao Ji will hardly wipe out those pirates."
The Marquis of Kogmo picked up a glass of wine and continued, "Instead of wasting the knights you have cultivated so hard, it is better to stay in Yuege City and do business, what do you think?"
He felt that it was time to get down to business, and he thought that everything was said for this sake, and it would be a fool to go to Beifa to pay for his business.
"The Marquis of Kogmore is right. Many noble merchants who went to Beigang left at a loss. There is too little food produced in the fields there." The fat earl said with disgust
"How about this, Lord Marquis Qiao Ji can send someone to inquire about the situation in Beigang first, we will never deceive you." The tall earl said immediately.
He thinks that Qiao Ji must not know much about the affairs of Beigang, so he chooses to manage the territory.
If Qiao Ji knew the exact situation of Beigang, she would definitely not go there, after all, going to such a desolate place would be a pain.
"It's okay, I'm here, I have to see it with my own eyes." Qiao Ji said softly.
"Okay, since Your Excellency Qiao Ji has already considered it, I don't want to say anything, I just don't want to make Your Excellency suffer.
The Marquis of Kogmore smiled heartily and continued, "Well, how about we talk about cooperation?"
Although he had a smile on his face, he didn't like Qiao Ji's stubbornness in his heart.
"What cooperation?" Qiao Ji asked knowingly.
"Your Excellency Qiao Ji's property includes perfume, paper, and pens, etc.? We want to buy a batch from you and sell them in the market." The Marquess of Kogmore said directly.
"Of course, I don't know how much Mr. Kogmaw wants to buy?" Qiao Ji nodded and asked.
The Marquis of Cogmore took a sip of hot wine and said slowly, "10,000 bottles of perfume, 50,000 pens, and 20 million sheets of white paper..."
He said the quantity he had thought about a long time ago, including furniture, paper bags and the like, which was a large order.
"Only 100 bottles of perfume and 500 pens can be given, but the quantity of other goods can be given enough, but it has to be divided into ten months.
Qiao Ji raised her eyebrows slightly, and said calmly.
His perfumes follow the route of hunger marketing. Giving so many bottles of perfume will disrupt the perfume market and make perfumes very cheap.
What's more, Qiao Ji's inventory is not so much, and the production can only be doubled when Xia Tian's flowers are in full bloom.
"It's too little, and I'll give it in monthly installments." Marquis Kogmore frowned slightly, but unexpectedly, the amount dropped several times sharply.
He originally thought that Qiao Ji would agree immediately, so that he could start to lower the price.
"No way, the output is really limited, and many people can't buy it at a high price." Qiao Ji spread his hands helplessly.
The Marquis of Cogmore frowned even tighter, thinking that others would be willing to pay a high price for perfume.
If she wanted to lower the price again, Qiao Ji would never agree, and her mood suddenly became depressed.
He hesitated for a moment, and said, "This amount is fine, but the price I give will be a little lower than the market price. How about I help you make a name for yourself first?"
Kogmaw's eyes were full of calculations.
"Even if it's 10% lower than the market price, I won't consider it." Qiao Ji shook his head bluntly.
He was a little surprised at how shameless the Marquis of Kogmaw was, and he took it for granted, which was really eye-opening.
"Your Excellency Qiao Ji, let's cooperate in production. How about I use 5,000 gold coins to help increase production?" Marquis Kogmore asked after taking a deep breath.
If you can't buy low-priced goods, it is better to cooperate in production and control the production line of goods than to buy goods.
By the way, find a way to obtain production technology.
Qiao Ji's face turned cold, and he said expressionlessly, "This joke is not funny at all.
That is an industry where he earns millions of gold coins a year. Kogmaw actually wants to invest in a few thousand gold coins. Isn't this a joke?
"Then 10,000 gold coins?" Marquis Kogmore asked with raised eyebrows.
"It seems that Your Excellency likes to joke very much." Qiao Ji looked at Kog'Maw coldly with sharp, heterochromatic pupils.
Immediately, he stood up feigning displeasure, and left the restaurant directly with Lei Nai and others.
