The Rise of Iceland

Kuiyi disapproved of Olaf’s words in his heart, but he heard that he was sincerely admonishing himself, and that Olaf was very knowledgeable at a young age, and his brother took a hundred thousand guilders in the bank. He must be a northern nobleman. I'm afraid that their accent is from Denmark or Norway, and it may be useful in the future.

　　 Thinking of this, he nodded and smiled: "Thank you Mr. Olaf for your advice, I will pay attention."

　　 Olaf knew that he would not really make Ku Yi not be the governor of Taiwan in the future, but he knew that his views on the Far East would make Ku Yi value himself, and this worked.

　　 "Mr. Kuiichi, if you return to China next year, I hope you can help me bring some specialties from Daming country. The price is definitely not a problem."

　　 "No problem, Mr. Olaf, please make a list. I will find it for you when I arrive in Batavia next month."

　　 After talking, he took the pen and paper and handed it to Olaf.

　　 Olaf wrote the names of tea sets, tableware and other blue and white porcelain in Latin, as well as Radix isatidis, honeysuckle and other effective Chinese medicines for treating colds, fever and anti-inflammatory. The amount is calculated in hundred pounds.

In addition to porcelain and traditional Chinese medicine, Olaf also wrote three books, "Compendium of Materia Medica" by Li Shizhen, "Nongzheng Quanshu" by Xu Guangqi, and "Tiangong Kaiwu" by Song Yingxing. Even the author's name and the title of the book are spelled in Latin. , And wrote simplified Chinese next to it (traditional Olaf can’t write it), and finally handed it to Kuiyi.

He took a look and praised Olaf for his knowledge and knowledge. He could even write the complicated text of the East, and then promised to help Olaf find him as soon as possible. The two agreed to come to the bank to trade in April next year. Can't come to the meeting to ask people to carry the exchanged signature slips for transactions.

　　 After finishing the business affairs, Ulav asked Guyi about the location of the grain shop. Guyi introduced a grain shop with excellent reputation to Ulav, and then he personally sent Olaf, Ulav and others out of the bank.

Olaf and Ulav left the bank with ease, and then walked all the way to the vicinity of Rembrandt Gardens according to the path pointed out by Kuyi. Then they saw a huge warehouse. In front of the warehouse was a circular canal constructed by hand. The small boat on the side of the canal unloads the bagged wheat rye and other grains, and then drives the boat to the middle gate and then moves into the warehouse, but most of them are transported and ground flour.

　　 On the other side of the canal, docked boats lined up to pull food.

　　 Ulav looked at the bustling people in front of the grain shop and couldn't help but exclaimed: "The scale of this Bard grain shop is too big! I feel that the whole of Iceland does not have as much grain as his grain shop!"

Olaf looked at the working white people with passion, and realized that this is the power of capital. Everyone who participates in it can gain something. They have hope for the future and passion for life. Becoming the hegemon of the world in ten years is probably the support of this kind of power.

　　 Approaching the food shop, before Ulav spoke, a young apprentice greeted him and greeted him with a smile on his face.

　　Ulav and Olaf can’t help but praise the Dutch for their ability to do business. People can rise from decades to come by being able to read business lessons.

　　 In fact, the attitude of Dutch businessmen is not much better, much worse than later generations of sales staff, but at least they are enthusiastic, smile and pay attention to commercial quality. Compared with the Dutch, Ulav and Olaf think that the Icelanders who do business are too far behind. It can be said that if there is a professional standard for Icelandic businessmen, there is only one sentence-please don't beat customers for no reason!

　　 The Viking is a left-handed axe, a right-handed knife, wine and gold in his pocket, and war hymns and epics in his head.

　　 Icelanders are descendants of the Vikings. They are no longer barbaric. They are left-handed axes and right-handed hoes, with wine and leather in their pockets, and Sakya and children in their heads.

Ulav said that he needed to purchase a large amount of flour. The young apprentice hurriedly led the crowd into the grain shop. At the same time, he shouted loudly in Dutch. A fat old man walked over and said in bad Danish: "Here are two young masters! Hello! I am the boss of the Bud Food Company. You can call me Old Bud. I heard Xiao Xi Lorraine say that you need a lot of flour?"

"Yes, Old Bud." Ulav asked, referring to the mountains of grain in the grain store. "Mr. Kuiichi from the bank introduced me. I need 20,000 pounds of rye flour, wheat flour and barley. Noodles are 10,000 pounds each, and barley, wheat, and rye that are not hulled are also 10,000 pounds."

"It's true that there are a lot of these products in the old Bud's grain store. You introduced them by Guyi, and I can give you a discount. Then, rye noodles are 10 duits per pound, and wheat noodles are 12 duits. Barley Noodles 9 Duit..."

　　 A series of quotations made by Bard got Ulav to approve on the spot, and then the two drafted a contract and stated in the contract that Old Bard should pay taxes, and then the two made one copy.

　　 Although Olaf doesn't care about food prices, he feels cheap after listening to Bud's offer.

A pound of rye noodles in Iceland costs nearly 20 copper plates. Duit is a Dutch copper coin. The exchange rate with the Dutch guilders is about forty to one. Nine Dutch guilders are worth about one mark, while 1 mark in Iceland is worth more than two hundred. Danish copper plates, three hundred and sixty Duit copper coins, so if you count the food shipped to Iceland for sale, there will actually be a gross profit of 70 to 80%, even if you exclude all expenses, there will be a profit of more than 30%.

　　 It can be seen from the grain that sailing is a matter of both risks and gains.

Ulav signed a check with a face value of 12,200 dongs to Old Bard and handed it to him (including the transaction tax of 600 dongs to be paid by Old Bard~www.wuxiahere.com~Old Bard After looking at it and making sure it was correct, he put it away carefully, and then asked: "Are you in a hurry? If you don't have to wait for me to go to the bank tomorrow and cancel the ticket, I will ship it to you. I don't know where your ship stops. ?"

"No hurry, our goods have not been delivered yet. You can deliver them the day after tomorrow." Ulav thought for a while and said, "Our ship is parked at Port 21. You can find me when you arrive. My name is Ulav, I In case you are not there, find a husband from Hagrid. He is my uncle."

　　 "Okay! Mr. Ulav! You northerners like to eat rye noodles, no wonder you have so much rye flour, it tastes delicious!"

　　 Old Bud knew that he was a Nordic when he heard the name, so he was more polite.

　　Ulav got up and was about to leave. Olaf suddenly asked, "Old Mr. Bard, do you know if the flour milling equipment in the windmill and watermill workshops of your grain shop is for sale? If there is more, we would like to see it."

　　 "Look?"

Olaf’s language habits gave Old Bud a stunned. Uraf had already reacted. He remembered that Wenlan needed a set of advanced wind milling equipment, so he said, “We also want a set of windmill milling equipment. Old Bud, do you sell it?"

　　 "You can find a handicraft workshop to make a set. My windmill workshops are all in production and cannot be sold to you."

　　 "But I can recommend a windmill maker to you..."

　　 Old Bud said, telling Ulav and Olaf where there is a workshop for making windmill flour milling equipment.

　　Ulav and Olaf left the Bard grain shop and found a yard in the northern area according to the route the old Bard said.
