Chapter 1020 New Business Opportunities
As soon as Prince Joliv and his entourage left Zuixianlou, Han Fengli and Princess Ronghui couldn't contain themselves and spoke up.
Han Fengli spoke up quickly, "A-Jing, Little Princess, why did you let these Luoba people go to the shops on the street first?" His voice was tinged with excitement, "Won't we not be able to get a high price for our small mirrors from them?"
Then he sighed and said regretfully, "And that telescope, they're willing to pay three hundred taels of gold, three hundred taels of gold!"
Chu Chenjing raised his eyes and gave him a disdainful look, "Are you short of these three hundred taels of gold?"
"Hey! No, that's not it." Han Fengli stammered, sticking his neck out as he argued, "This young master just wanted to teach them a lesson for their arrogant attitude!"
"Didn't they eventually lose their arrogance completely?" Ouyang Yunyao raised her eyebrows, a sly smile flashing in her eyes.
"That's right, they looked at us with surprise later." Han Fengli also became smug.
"I sent them out to stroll around the streets so they would buy goods from us willingly." Chu Chenjing looked at Ouyang Yunyao's lively appearance with amusement, his fingers lightly tapping the edge of the table.
Ouyang Yunyao gave Chu Chenjing a thumbs up, "A-Jing, you're right!"
"Once they understand what's in our market and the prices, they'll want to sell their perfumes and chocolate chips to us, but the price won't be high."
Hearing what Ouyang Yunyao said, Han Fengli asked in confusion, "Little Princess, those perfumes and chocolate pills you gave us, weren't they better than theirs? Then why do we still want theirs?"
"No, their perfume is quite good; it smells like lavender. Lavender doesn't seem to exist on our Yuzhou continent, which makes it quite rare," Ouyang Yunyao analyzed.
Then Ouyang Yunyao pointed to a small jar of chocolate balls on the table and said, "The chocolate balls they gave us today taste very authentic."
You probably didn't know that chocolate is made from cocoa beans, so it seems there are cocoa trees on the continent of Loba.
"Your Highness! Don't we have this kind of tree on our continent?" Chu Feng, who had just seen Jolif and the others downstairs, returned to his room and overheard Ouyang Yunyao's words, so he asked in confusion.
Ouyang Yunyao raised the corners of her lips slightly, "So far, I haven't seen this kind of tree."
"I see! Then we can get some of their stuff." Han Fengli nodded.
Then Ouyang Yunyao smiled slyly, "We're not buying their perfumes and chocolate pills because we need them. We're buying them at low prices so they won't bother looking for other countries."
Ouyang Yunyao paused for a moment, then said, "This is a new business opportunity for us! This way, not only will our Western Chu Kingdom have new varieties of goods, but we can also sell more to the Northern Yue Kingdom and the Southern Frontier Kingdom."
Upon hearing this, Han Fengli's eyes lit up with excitement. "Little Princess! Your idea is brilliant!"
Chu Chenjing looked at Ouyang Yunyao with tender eyes and said, "Yaoyao, your idea is wonderful." Then he continued to everyone:
"I told them to go to the shops on the street and look for telescopes, but they won't find any, much less buy any. So if they want telescopes, they'll have to come to us!"
"Yes, Ah Jing, you're right!" Han Fengli was delighted. Then, remembering something, he quickly said, "Ah Jing, Little Princess, I saw what looked like muskets they had today. I wonder what other weapons they have?"
After exchanging a glance with Chu Chenjing, Ouyang Yunyao said, "They definitely have muskets. We saw them today, but we don't know how powerful they are. We should investigate them in a couple of days, and it would be best if we could exchange some with them. That way, it would be legitimate for our garrison to be equipped with these weapons."
Ouyang Yunyao recalled that in her previous life, when the West had muskets, they didn't have any other powerful weapons. This was not a threat to her. However, if she could import some muskets from them, it would give her an excuse to take out weapons from her spatial storage and confuse other countries.
“Yes, yes, yes! Now that you mention it, we understand.” Han Fengli nodded repeatedly.
Princess Ronghui, who hadn't had a chance to speak until now, finally seized the opportunity during their pause and quickly interjected, "Your Highness, you're amazing! You can even speak the language of those Luoba people, so they can't fool us at all!"
“That’s right!” Chu Feng chimed in. “The princess just spoke fluent Loba, which stunned those blond Loba people. They no longer dare to underestimate our Western Chu Kingdom.”
"Yes, that's so satisfying! They won't dare to act arrogantly anymore," Princess Ronghui said happily. Then, she looked at Ouyang Yunyao with great curiosity and asked, "Sister Princess, is this what you said that the immortal grandfather taught you?"
"Yes! I suppose that old man probably foresaw that people from the Luoba Continent would come to our Western Chu, so he taught me this language." Ouyang Yunyao babbled nonsense, leaving them bewildered.
Chu Chenjing looked at Ouyang Yunyao talking nonsense with doting eyes, suppressing his laughter, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
She paused slightly, then suddenly remembered the idle warships in her space. She was delighted, knowing that her warships would finally have a use.
Her eyes shone with excitement as she looked at Chu Chenjing and said, "Ah Jing, now that the Luoba people have already sailed their big ships to our place, there will surely be more Luoba people coming to do business with us in the future. Then we can also go and take a look at the Luoba continent."
Chu Chenjing immediately understood her thoughts, reached out and rubbed her head, "Yaoyao, you're right, we can certainly go to the Luoba Continent to take a look."
"Then wouldn't we have to build a huge ship?" Princess Ronghui murmured.
"Why go through all that trouble?" Han Fengli said to Princess Ronghui, then asked, "Ajing, little princess, if we just renovate those pirate ships we captured last time, can we go to the Luoba Continent?"
Ouyang Yunyao nodded her little head repeatedly, "That's possible!" She didn't mention the warship yet. Then she added, "We can also go in the big iron bird."
"A giant iron bird? Yao Yao, can a giant iron bird fly over the sea for that long?" Chu Chenjing asked doubtfully.
"It shouldn't be a problem, but I still need to study it carefully." Ouyang Yunyao knew that according to the situation in her previous life, her plane would have no problem flying there, it would only take a dozen hours at most.
But she didn't know if there was any magnetic field affecting this world or the sea, so she couldn't say for sure. She really needed to check some information in space and ask Gigi.
"If the giant iron bird can really fly over there, that would be wonderful!" Han Fengli and Chu Feng said excitedly at the same time.
