Huang Xuan allows people to take the stalls away at will. Of course, only well-dressed ship owners or businessmen can do this.
Stick a few white sugar on your nose and put it in your mouth.
The widespread availability of sugar in Europe was accompanied by the American continent’s expropriation. Before that, the price of sugar was equivalent to gold. Europeans used medicine to make it, but by the 17th century, many well-off citizens could also get sugar.
But it can never be as sweet as modern sugar.
For a child born after 1990, white sugar may not be sweet at all. They are used to fructose and other sugars with higher sweetness, but for Europeans who still have a sense of luxury in eating brown sugar, white sugar almost represents an advanced technology.
"It’s really sugar," said the big nose and tongue licking his lips. "It’s much better than the sugar we produce."
"Will it be a new product?" The orange also tasted a few sweets. "Maybe China has already produced a lot, otherwise how could it be sold to Svalbard?"
"Maybe not much." Another tall Dutchman joined the discussion.
Wei Liuwei still sat there listening to people guess that the governor of the East India Company is a very powerful position, but this theory does not generally apply to balls such as Svalbard.
The East India Company, a famous organization in history, has several most famous organizations, of course, the Great Britain East India Company, while in the 17th century, the Dutch East India Company was fiercely competing with the Spanish and Portuguese for Svalbard’s rule.
At present, the Netherlands is dominant, and in a few decades, the Dutch will completely monopolize the whaling industry in the Arctic.
But up to now, Wei Liuwei has not dared to slack off.
It takes thousands of gold coins to buy the food in that melon’s hand, and without this money, why does the company buy whale oil? Whale oil is a strategic material. Is it going to war?
Thinking of this, Wei Lu sat up slightly. He was a little anxious and said, "Have you come from China or Europe recently?"
"Psek just arrived last month. Why?" There is something strange about the big nose.
"The situation? What about Europe? "
"Everything is fine," big nose spat out a sigh. "Everything is peaceful in Europe without them except the British."
"Englishman …" Wei Luwei chewed the name gently. He liked to do it just like the Earl of his hometown, but everyone who knew him knew that although Van Houge Wei Luwei had a model before his name, he was not a noble. Maybe he would get the title of noble when Svalbard became Dutch territory completely.
"Governor?"
Wei Liuwei came to her senses, put her elbow from the armrest and stood up on the table. "Klee, we also want to collect whale oil CIF Europe last year."
"What about these?" Big nose pointing to the table sugar grain.
Wei Lu’s disgust will sweep the table and say, "You must first ensure that whale oil is suitable for the country, so let the Spanish buy these things."
Chapter 42 Spitsbergen Islands (6)
Wei Liuwei is the governor of the Dutch East India Company in Svalbard, but not the governor of the Netherlands in Svalbard. Therefore, his orders can also pass through the East India Company. For businessmen affiliated with the East India Company, whether to follow the company’s suggestions depends on the distribution of interests, and which company employees will follow the orders.
Therefore, in front of Huang Xuan’s small booth, not only did people not reduce the trading volume, but there was an upward trend. To his slight surprise, most people were reluctant to sell whale oil, even though he bought it in Europe last year.
One day and one night, Huang Xuan sold 3 tons of grain and spices, and the original sample of his booth was taken away, but because there were too many traders, he didn’t let it go anymore.
By the next afternoon, there were fewer talents, but the warehouse was littered with sailors. Most of them came to work as porters to earn extra money, and a few were sent by the captain. When there was no work, they lay on the cold land to rest.
Huang Xuan rubbed his eyes, hoping to relieve the fatigue of a night. He was in a state of mental tension and excitement. So far, he has received 35 Frohring. Although they were temporarily put into the plane passage, the big burly sailors didn’t know that he was worried that if someone shouted a red eye, people would move.
Good red hairs are still quiet for the time being.
Another batch of grain was sent out of the warehouse. Huang Xuan took a breath and took out his registration slip and shouted, "Who’s Mr. Klee?"
It was before Huang Xuan that Klee saw the big nose. He bent slightly and jumped out from the corner. He grabbed Huang Xuan’s hand and said, "Mr. Philips is me. Don’t shout."
"Oh," Huang Xuan shrugged. "Um … Mr. Klee?"
"It’s me." Klee’s nose seemed to be sweating. He looked at the warehouse behind him and said, "Shall we talk inside?"
"Here it is." Huang Xuan shook his head. He always paid attention to putting himself in the public eye. Even if he went to the warehouse to see the goods, he was no exception. Only by being vigilant can he reduce the greed of others.
"It’s not convenient here." Big nose obviously doesn’t like this place. It’s too eye-catching
Huang Xuan insisted on shaking his head.
"All right," Kelly licked his lips and turned his head to the door. "I want to buy you sugar. How much do you have?" As he spoke, he held his palm tightly, holding all the sugar brought by Huang Xuan.
"About six pounds, maybe a little more. Why?" Huang Xuan has always been surprised that spices are sold clean but sugar is not sold at all. He also wondered whether there was a different plane. With this plane, Europe had sugar long ago, but he didn’t know that it was because a man of heart took all the sugar.
"A price." Big nose trembled slightly, like fear and excitement.
Huang Xuan squinted his eyes and tapped his fingers on the warehouse wall and thought for a moment. "Do you want all 6 thousand pounds?"
"Well," the Dutchman asked eagerly, "What’s the price? I don’t have much time."
"I think we have to wait for Mr. Juan, who also wants the sugar. Look, his fleet will arrive at noon."
Klee wrinkled his nose. He didn’t like the Spanish name. He stared down at Huang Xuandao. "hi Guawa Island, I know you want to pay a high price. Don’t play tricks."
"Really?" Huang Xuan didn’t care about this kind of low-level intimidation, and the youngest Huang family wouldn’t change his mind because of it. He shrugged his shoulders and picked up the registration form to call someone.
Klee had to cover the paper with the palm of his hand and raise his other hand. "God bless me that the price will satisfy you."
"Maybe you can come back in the afternoon." Huang Xuan didn’t dial the hand full of frostbite, but carried it behind him with the registration one hand.
"I’m leaving at noon. Do you take my boat with you?" Kelly looked around and no one noticed him. He decided not to follow Wei Lu Wei any more. He wanted to go back to Europe and bring 6,000 pounds of pure white sugar. He can live well in any European country. Now he has Frohring, which is the property of his department … Er, add some money to buy whale oil. Wei Lu Wei is old and old, and his judgment has dropped. Last year, the price of whale oil in Europe was reduced. Who would do such a stupid thing? Even if there is a war, the most valuable thing will not be whale oil, but it is more likely to transport difficult food. Who cares that the damn war materials have the guy who was carried away by the title?
"One Frohring per 1000 pounds" Klee couldn’t help saying that he had no time to waste. Who knows when Wei Liuwei will think of him here?
Huang Xuanshi was also very nervous, but he still said, "Look, Mr. Juan has ordered this batch of sugar, and I can’t sell it to you."
"11 Frohring" Klee once again bid and suppressed the idea of looking around.
"14" This is Lorraine’s suggestion that 14 Frohring can buy a sheep and half a ton of sugar for a sheep, which is fair … But then Huang Xuan remembered that if it is 14 Frohring, you can probably buy one tulip for five cents. "Augustus Forever" is really abnormal.
Klee wrinkled his nose and retorted, "I have so many."
Huang Xuan gave him a look, and he could stay here for another day. He shook his head firmly and said, "It seems that I have to wait for Mr. Juan."
Cleveland panting fist pinch honk boom Huang Xuan so-called saw his one eye attack with 22 limited time travelers that the other side also have to have strong backing.
Big nose is disappointed that he can’t spend his assets to buy sugar in Huang Xuan’s hand, which is too risky, although offending the East India Company is even more risky.
