Chapter 899： Auction Plan

After the planting arrangements of seeds such as tung tree, sumac, bamboo, winter wheat and japonica rice were arranged, Marin had the leisure to look at the more valuable porcelain, silk and Anhua black tea.

"Anhua Black Tea!" Seeing the black tea bricks full of ships, Marin's eyes lit up suddenly.

You know, because of the serious shortage of tea in Europe, even if Earl milk tea made by Marin was popular in Europe, it is difficult to popularize.

Even, let alone popularization, it is Marin who likes to drink tea. The tea leaves he drinks every day should be boiled three or four times and used repeatedly to avoid waste. But the tea brewed in the third and fourth times is tasteless ...

However, there is no way. Today's tea leaves are all from the grasslands of Daming North and Northwest. The black tea bricks were carried by camels and traversed thousands of miles on the way. And from the north of Daming or the western region of Europe, but going through the desert of Central Asia, the danger is abnormal, and the environment is also very bad ... This is just the bad external environment, not the evil of the nomads of Central Asia. Some tribes are themselves horse thieves, and they are caught by them. Not to mention the goods are gone, their lives may not be saved. Therefore, this business is extremely difficult. The natural price of goods shipped to Europe remains high.

Marin has a good relationship with the Crimean Khanate. When he took the goods from the Crimean Khanate, the cost was as high as 25 gold coins and a black tea brick (4 kg). And those tea bricks that are scattered to other countries in Western Europe are even more exaggerated. The highest selling price is 100 gold coins, which is equivalent to the price of a horse.

Moreover, because of Marin's drive, the Pope also liked drinking tea. Then, the atmosphere spread across Europe. Now the situation is-Earl milk tea is very popular, but the tea is very scarce ...

If these tea bricks can be sold out, they can be sold for dozens of gold coins. But how much does it cost? Kong Tai's purchase price in Guangzhou is 100 liters, which is still a high price ...

And 100 papers is only equivalent to 0.1 two silver, which is equivalent to 0.087 gold coins. If you sell a tea brick of 25 gold coins, the price is equivalent to 287 times. Even if you get rid of the huge cost of sailing, it is not a problem to get a hundred or ten times more profit ...

As for the number of tea bricks, Marin is also a little speechless-Kong Tai bought 12,000 tea bricks ...

After thinking about it, Marin decided to leave 2,000 tea bricks to enjoy for himself. Then, all the other 10,000 tea bricks were sold out.

As for the price, Marin decided to divide it into two grades-the one sold to the nobles of the Beihai Kingdom, as long as 25 gold coins, and can be offset with food. Sold to nobles in other countries, the 25 gold coin is the starting price ...

Speaking of auctions, Marin suddenly had an idea-he decided to hold several auctions based on this batch of commodities in order to maximize the value.

Moreover, in order to give European nobles enough time to prepare, Marin decided to postpone the auction for a few months. Anyway, whether it is Anhua black tea, or porcelain and silk, it can be stored for a long time, and it will have no effect after a few months.

In the past few months, Marin will seize the time to make publicity, lest local tyrants do not know and miss the auction. The more local tyrants, the higher the price can be ...

In order to let most local tyrants in Europe have the opportunity to buy, Marin decided to split his way and launch auctions in several important European cities.

In the German region, Marin tentatively held the first game at Emden. This is mainly for the nobility and local tyrants in northern Germany and the Netherlands; the second is held in Lübeck, mainly for the local tyrants of the Hanseatic League, and the local tyrants in the eastern part of Germany; The resident Worms is held, this scene is very important. Because Worms is the meeting place of the Imperial Parliament and the most important gathering place for the German princes. Here, you can gather enough big nobles. Moreover, local tyrants among religious princes will also appear. This auction will bring together many large nobles and archbishops in central and southern Germany. They are real tyrants, and their shots must be extraordinary. This scene is also Marin's most important ...

Then there is the area outside Germany. Needless to say, Rome must have an auction. The Archbishops of Rome, because of the filial piety of bishops from all over Europe, do not lack money in their hands. Otherwise, Caesar Borgia would not use the poison to kill those cardinals. Because they are all rich, father and son of Alexander VI coveted their wealth ... In addition to those rich cardinals, there are also rich nobles and merchants all over Italy ...

Paris, France is also about to open, after all, France is a European power. Although not rich, there are definitely a lot of rich aristocrats and rich merchants in China. After all, France is an important wine exporter in Europe. Those big nobles and big merchants who have large vineyards can make a lot of money selling wine, and they must be rich. In addition, the French nobles also have a lot of land. Even the area of ​​the knight's enclosure is larger than that of other countries. How long the land means greater profits, it also means that there is money to buy luxury goods. Marin vaguely remembered that later generations of Chinese tyrants went to Paris to buy luxury goods, but this time, Marin wanted French tyrants to buy their own Chinese luxury goods, and it was an ultra-high price ...

In addition to France, Portugal has already held auctions, no need to mention. Spain ’s economy is average, but there are a lot of rich nobles and businessmen. Marin plans to hold an auction in Barcelona.

There is also London in the United Kingdom. In fact, Marin does not want to go to London for auction. Because, after the civil war in London, the damage was great ~ www.novelhall.com ~ There are not many rich people.

However, Marin wanted to annex Britain in the future, but he had to give the British face. If this auction feast misses London, it may be hated by the English aristocracy. Therefore, he still intends to go to London to hold an auction to give the British a little face.

As for other countries, it is not necessary. Copenhagen was actually a prosperous city, but with Denmark losing to Marin several times, the city has also been looted, and there are not many who can afford to bid. As for Poland and Lithuania, the economy there is average. People there drink alcohol, but they may not have spare money to buy silk or porcelain. Of course, as Siegmont I's brother-in-law, Marin must give him a few pieces of porcelain and some silk. After all, he is a relative.

When thinking of sending things, Marin suddenly thought-should he send some porcelain, silk and tea bricks to his father-in-law, Pope? In addition, you can also use the Pope Julius II to promote a wave in Rome.

In addition to Pope Lord, Marin's senior emperor Maximilian I also wanted to send. Although he has no real power, he is an emperor after all. Moreover, it is okay to be a spokesperson for yourself in the south of Germany.

As for the other monarchs ... Marin thought for a while, but he still planned to send some to Edward. After all, he is now a British nobleman, and he still needs a little respect for Edward, the king of England.

As for the Spanish monarch, Marin only intended to give Juan (now King Juan III of Castile) a few. Because Juan has a good relationship with himself. As for Ferdinand II, the old fox, Marin was not familiar with him ... But in the end, Marin decided to give the old fox two pieces. After all, he wants to hold an auction at his site in Barcelona ... 8) More exciting novels, welcome to visit everyone's academy
