Other shopkeepers also shook their heads.

Liu Mingqi smiled, "I don't care about the difficulties you mentioned. Now the price of a cow in the Imperial Palace is about ten taels of silver. As long as you can buy it back, I will charge twenty taels, how about it?"

"Twenty taels are too little!" Another shopkeeper said immediately: "It's quite expensive for us to buy on the grassland."

"And you only need cows, little prince, and they will definitely have to raise the price!"

"You little prince, you don't know. The ones they sell to us are all not very good cows. The cows here are very scarce, so we can only grit our teeth and admit it. You are the one who designates that you want to get good cows, it would be strange if these barbarians don't double the price."

“…”

Liu Mingqi just watched their verbal acting.

When they found that Liu Mingqi had a cold face, they all gradually stopped, with a hint of embarrassment.

The boy said lightly: "All said it? Then let me say something?"

A group of people quickly smiled and said, "Little Prince, you said, you said!"

Liu Mingqi raised three fingers: "Thirty taels of silver, only a cow aged two to four, I want as much as you have... Don't bargain with me, if you can't do it, I won't force you."

After a pause, the young man said again: "Now you can leave. If you are interested, you can talk to the butler Tian Rong of Prince Yu's Mansion. You can also get a deposit of advance, first come first served, maybe there will be nothing behind."

The shopkeepers looked at each other.

My heart was also up and down.

They are not all the people themselves, and they compete with each other.

Now Liu Mingqi's simple words limit their fragile alliance to the brink of collapse.

Everyone has a lot of thoughts, they all know the price of buying a cow and the approximate cost of shipping it all the way to the capital.

No matter which aspect you count, thirty taels per cow can be said to be a big profit!

At least you can make a profit of ten taels of silver!

Besides, Prince Yu’s Mansion is actually willing to pay a deposit!?

Those who don’t do this business are fools!

Seeing that they were eager to try but holding it back, Liu Mingqi smiled without realizing a smile on her lips.

Thirty taels of silver per cow is indeed very expensive.

The price around the capital is ten taels per end. Even if you reach a distance of so far in Jiangnan, the price is only about twenty taels.

But you can’t simply consider the price when doing things.

First of all, Liu Mingqi wants a heifer aged two to four. Compared with the average lifespan of 25 years, there is at least more than ten years of use to produce milk. This is a high-quality dairy cow resource.

If you ask for a heifer, of course the price will be much more expensive than the ordinary ones. People who beg for beauty are not fools.

Then the second one is that he needs a large amount of heifers to produce milk. If there is no high enough profit, will the merchants be willing to buy it for you?

Even if you pay a hundred taels of silver and buy three or five, seven or eight, do you think they are willing to bring it here?

They were sold in four provinces near the grasslands, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Gansu and Hebei, which were both convenient and worry-free.

It doesn’t matter if you make less money, the key is that there is not that much trouble.

Therefore, Liu Mingqi can only adopt a large-scale procurement model. Only when a large-scale acquisition can they earn thousands or even tens of thousands of taels in one trip will they be willing to do such a troublesome and time-consuming thing.

Not to mention anything else, the shopkeepers just said that the cows who have experienced winter are usually very thin. If they rashly walk more than a thousand miles, half of them will die on the way.

Therefore, after they bought it, they had to keep the cattle well near the border for ten days and half a month before they could slowly get them over to ensure a high survival rate.

Not to mention eating, drinking, defecation and urination along the way, you must ensure that you are safe from being stolen and robbed, etc.

Look!

With so many troubles, Liu Mingqi can solve them all with just some money.

This is the greatest benefit of the business society.

Each person takes the needs and both parties benefit each other.

You can't take advantage of it alone. You want the horse to run away, but you don't give it to the horse, right?

At the same time, this is also the initial investment cost.

Once the cow is kept near the capital, it can produce milk steadily every day, and it will definitely be like promoting the production of milk candy in the white rabbit.

At that time, large-scale production will inevitably dilute the cost, so that the white rabbit milk candy can be produced in large quantities, and the price can be reduced, entering more people's families.

Even the rich people in China cannot satisfy them. How can they satisfy the rich people overseas, right?

Also, don’t look at the shopkeepers in front of you making money and making smiles now. When the big white rabbit milk candy is launched in large quantities, they may not eat it themselves, but their wives and children must eat it, right?

Maybe it will take less than a year or two, and the money spent on the big white rabbit milk candy they eat will be enough to offset most of the cost of buying heifers!

Note: Thailand exported 11.5 million tons of rice in 2018 (total of about 100 million stones), and exported 10.7 million tons in 2019. Vietnam exported 6.5 million tons of rice in 2018, and exported 6.4 million tons in 2019.

A place like the Indochina Peninsula that is ripe for three years is nourished by our Lancang River, and life is really good.

In addition, a cow in the early Tang Dynasty was 4,500 yuan, and about 5 yuan in the Northern Song Dynasty. Volume 217 of the "Ming Hui Dian" in Wanli, "Guanglu Temple" records that a cow costs 6 taels of silver.

This is a time when the political situation is stable. In the late stage of a dynasty, the price will surge by twice or even three times.
