Thinking of this, Lu Ning looked around, picked up a coconut from the table, weighed it, and it was estimated that it would weigh about four or five kilograms. Then Lu Ning said to Locke: "Mr. Locke, gold weighing like the coconut in my hand is exchanged for a whole good silk cloth. As for the quantity of silk? I am going to take out two thousand good silk cloths to trade with you."

As soon as Lu Ning's words finished, Guo Jia, who was eating, almost bit his tongue off. Dian Wei and Wei Yan, who were standing behind Lu Ning, opened their mouths wide open, and were shocked by Lu Ning's words. They looked at the fruit called coconut in Lu Ning's hand. This weight is not light. For gold as heavy as this coconut, the other party is not a fool. Can they agree? Unless it is called "Bird Locke's head suddenly filled with water, otherwise how is that possible?

As Guo Jia and the others guessed, Locke took the coconut from Lu Ning and weighed it, shook his head and said to Lu Ning: "No, I will definitely not. My dear guest, the price you quoted is about the same as the price you quoted by those Roman merchants, but these silks were shipped directly from your hometown and should not be the same as those Roman merchants."

As soon as Locke finished speaking, Guo Jia, Mi Tian and Dian Wei and Wei Yan, who were standing behind Lu Ning, were shocked. You should know that the transaction Lu Ning and his friends in Di Shi was handled directly by Mi Tian and others. They all knew the price of their transactions. Unexpectedly, after just a few dozen days of sailing, the Roman merchants could make nearly five times the profits, which Guo Jia and the others could never dream of, the profits of this ocean-going trade were too high.

Lu Ning took a sip of wine, looked up at the bird Locke, and then slowly said to him: "Mr. Locke, this account can be calculated like this. You know that my hometown is thousands of miles away from you, and it is also separated by a sea. This sea is extremely dangerous. We are driving in this sea, and we may be flooded by huge waves at any time, and we may encounter storms at any time, and we may encounter storms at any time, and we may come to you for a transaction. If there is a slight mistake, let alone goods, even our lives will be difficult to save. Besides, if the silk on this ship is not careful,

Once the water enters, the quality will decline, and it will not be worth much; and our fleet is sailing in the sea, with fierce waves in the sea, and no one can control the waves, and our silk fabrics may encounter water at any time, which is difficult to preserve; there are so many crew members, sailors, and subordinates who follow me through life and death, and they all handed over their lives to me, and their rewards are indispensable; if any accident happens on the way, their wives, children, and elderly people in their family also need to be raised and taken care of by me; I have to count these costs, Mr. Locke, are you saying that the price I offer is too much?"

In the hall of Locke's official residence, Lu Ning and Locke started a hard price negotiation, but Locke, the birdman, bit Lu Ning to death. As the producer and seller of silk fabrics, the price offered cannot be the same as those of the Roman merchants. It must be lower than the price offered by the Roman merchants. No matter how Lu Ning settles the accounts for him or what reasons he says, the kid just insists on this, and the entire negotiation is basically in the Xinjiang bureau.

In the end, there was no way, Lu Ning had to dress up with a very painful expression and 'badly' agreed to exchange three kilograms of gold for a whole piece of fine silk fabric. "Mr. Locke, for the sake of our friends, we sold it at this price. But I have to explain it to you clearly. This is because of the friendship between us, and you must not tell others. At the same time, I have an additional condition."

After hearing Lu Ning's words, Locke asked, "My dear friend, what conditions do you have? Bufan said it and see if I can agree to your request."

Lu Ning looked at Locke and thought about how to use the words more appropriately. "Mr. Locke, I want to rent a piece of land from you to build a wharf. I am going to trade with you for a long time. If Mr. Locke can rent a piece of land, I will transport the fine silk fabrics produced in my hometown here for years to trade. I will pay you fifty pieces of fine silk fabrics every year, and Mr. Locke will have endless money waiting for you to get them. My respected Mr. Locke, what do you think of my proposal?"

After thinking for a moment, Locke replied, "Don't worry, my dear friend, since we have become good friends now, it is natural to keep secrets for our friends. Please rest assured, I will not say anything to anyone. As for the matter of renting land from me to build a dock, can I disagree? I have fifty pieces of high-quality silk every year, and I can trade for a long time and make money for a long time. Of course, I am very happy."

Lock thought he had taken advantage of it, and saw Lu Ning looking painful, he immediately stood up, walked to Lu Ning and laughed: "My friends who came from afar, for our friendship, let us have this glass of wine."

After Locke finished speaking, he drank the wine in the golden cup in his hand. When everyone in the hall saw Locke like this, how could he not drink it? Naturally, he followed Locke to drink the wine in the cup and scattered it. The banquet returned to a joyful and pleasant atmosphere, and the beauties who accompanied the wine were also taking the opportunity to harass Lu Ning and the others. Of course, Lu Ning also rubbed and pinched them all over. Can such beautiful beauties be harassed? Unless there was a physical problem. That night, Lu Ning did not return to the warship, but slept in his official residence under Locke's arrangement. The two beautiful and coquettish girls made Lu Ning completely release. Lu Ning crawled on their belly all night and fought until the early morning.

The subsequent transaction went very smoothly, and the transaction was completed in a very short time. Seeing boxes of gold being brought onto warships, Zhou Tai, who had once ridiculed the other party's poverty, almost bit off his tongue. How could this be possible? But reality overturned his eyes. In addition, Lu Ning and the others also paid 250 pieces of silk fabrics from Locke, which was Lu Ning and the others rented him 100,000 acres of land for the first five years. The lease period of the entire land was 300 years, and the lease fee was paid every five years. During the lease period, Lu Ning and the others had ownership, use rights, management rights, and development rights over the land; in the concession, Lu Ning and the others were not bound by the laws of the unlawful state, and no one was allowed to break into the concession by themselves. Lu Ning and the others enjoyed immunity.
