I opened a tavern in Datang/Datang: My peerless talent was exposed

It's a pity that the noble person he was thinking of had disappeared as if he had disappeared, and he had never been able to see him. If it weren't for the fact that these properties were still booming, he would have thought that something happened to this master.

Today, after being notified by the clerk of Zhang's Restaurant, he ran over almost immediately, still excitedly thanking Allah for blessings on the way, and finally it was his turn for Asparta to develop.

Seeing this master now, Asba quickly stood up and saluted with his right hand on his chest,

"May Allah bless you, honored guest! Greetings from Asba!"

Zhang Nuo also bowed slightly in return, then said with a smile,

"Aspar, come in, let's sit down and talk, I want to talk to you about a big deal!"

Asba hurried over and followed Zhang Nuo to the inner room. The inner room was specially used for business talks with big customers. Although it could not be completely soundproof, it was at least somewhat private.

Just looking at this situation, Asba's eyes lit up. It seems that this is a real big business. I don't know how much money he can make this time. Asba is looking forward to it.

After the two sat down respectively, Zhang Nuo directly took out a glass marble and put it in front of Asba and said,

"Three-color glazed ball, take a closer look, how much do you think a ball is suitable for?"

Asba was attracted by the things in front of him almost instantly, oh my god, how could there be such a round glass ball in this world, the key is that you can clearly see the leaves of three different colors inside.

This is simply a rare treasure. As long as he returns to his homeland Rome with this three-color glazed ball, he will definitely make a fortune. Those gentlemen like this exquisite glazed ball the most.

Asba was about to quote a high price to win this rare treasure in one fell swoop, but before he opened his mouth, seeing Zhang Nuo's calm face, he suddenly had an idea, and instead asked cautiously,

"Shopkeeper Zhang, these three-color glazed balls are indeed rare treasures, but there is a saying in the Tang Dynasty that rare things are valuable. I wonder how many such treasures you have here?"

Zhang Nuo looked at Asba meaningfully, and Asba quickly smiled obsequiously, and cupped his hands deliberately.

Zhang Nuo originally didn't intend to sell only one pill. Since the matter will be known to Asba sooner or later, it's better to directly reveal it, so Zhang Nuo said directly,

"This thing, I'll give you as much as you want. So, you should carefully consider the price! Pay for it and deliver it, none of us will regret it!"

When Asba heard the news, he was not as angry as Zhang Nuo originally thought. Instead, he stood up in surprise and asked nervously,

"Treasurer Zhang, is this true? As much as I want, you have as much here, can we keep trading?"

Chapter 185 Asba's Business Experience

Obviously, this fan merchant named Asba is different from the traditional Tang merchants in thinking.

If it is an ordinary Datang merchant, after seeing such a treasure, the first thought is to buy it, or find other ways to get it.

And when they know that there are many such treasures, they must treat them as if they are worthless, and feel that this business is not going well.

Zhang Nuo's previous idea was actually to make a lot of quick money from Asba, but now seeing this attitude, he suddenly became a little interested.

If this Aspar is really a person with good business thinking, a certain business reputation, and good financial strength, then maybe it can really develop into a foreign trade cooperation unit dedicated to foreign countries.

Thinking of this, Zhang Nuo also became serious, looked at the excited Asba and said seriously,

"Asba, I know that you want to act as an agent for the wine from my winery, and want to sell it to the Western Regions, or even to Rome, but I have never agreed, after all, I don't have to worry about selling it at all!"

"However, I am willing to give you a chance now. If your answer satisfies me, I will not only make you my liquor agent, but also my partner for other products. You know, I But a large workshop has been prepared on the outskirts of Chang'an!"

At this moment, Asba was so excited that his neck was red. After taking a few deep breaths, he calmed down a little, and then said very sincerely,

"Dear shopkeeper Zhang, I really want to be your partner, so I am willing to accept your test!"

Zhang Nuo nodded, but explained again,

"Before I ask a question, I still have to tell you one thing. All my current industries have a partner, and that is His Majesty the Emperor. If you cooperate with me, it is equivalent to cooperating with His Majesty the Emperor. Don't try to hide it from me!"

"As a successful businessman, you should know that reputation is often more useful than money!"

Zhang Nuo didn't have the slightest discomfort with using the emperor's signboard to fool people.In his opinion, isn't Lao Li the emperor's relative, and Lao Li said that he gave the emperor a share, so the emperor is his partner, so what's the matter with borrowing His Majesty's brand?

Asba became more and more excited, God, no wonder no one dared to touch the business of this respected shopkeeper Zhang, it turned out that his partner was His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Empire!

God, doesn't that mean that as long as he has a relationship with this distinguished shopkeeper Zhang, he can also be regarded as a business partner of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty?

O Lord, this is so exciting!

However, Asba knew very well that the words of the honorable shopkeeper Zhang were both showing off and a warning. It was a warning to himself that if he wanted to play unnecessary tricks, the only possible end would be destruction.

Asba was not at all worried that the honorable shopkeeper Zhang was lying, because he had lived in the Tang Dynasty for a long time and knew that no one dared to make fun of His Majesty the Emperor.

Of course, the news that the first batch of wine from Zhang's winery was purchased by the palace also confirmed what the distinguished shopkeeper Zhang said from the side.

After taking a few deep breaths again, Aspar said sincerely and earnestly with an attitude towards Allah,

"Honorable shopkeeper Zhang, I am ready to accept your test, please begin!"

Seeing Asba who finally calmed down, Zhang Nuo silently gave him a point!

There is something wrong with those who are not excited when they hear the news of the emperor, and there is something wrong with those who are too excited when they hear the news of the emperor!

Those who are not excited, either don't believe him, or are a fool, or even a fool is worse. After all, everyone knows that it would be great if the business is covered by the emperor.

And if you are too excited, you should kick it away immediately, because this kind of person may not think of business at the first time when they hear the news, but how to hug Li Shimin's thigh, so what a fart!

Zhang Nuo looked at Asba and asked seriously,

"Please explain seriously, how do you plan to do business with me on this three-color glazed ball, and fully explain your thoughts!"

The first time Asba heard the question, he was inexplicably disappointed. The question was too simple, but just about to answer it, the intuition cultivated by years of business made him stop at the door.

He didn't speak immediately, but frowned and began to think, what exactly is this question trying to test?

Turning his head and thinking about it, Asba understood that there is a saying in Tang State that "one method can lead to ten thousand methods" or "you can see the whole picture by looking at one spot". This honorable shopkeeper Zhang obviously wants to operate the three-color Let's examine my own business thinking about the Liuliqiu matter.

Obviously, the honorable shopkeeper Zhang didn't want to stop the business just this time, and this test question is a test of whether he can run a real big business.

How much price can be paid is not the most important concern of this distinguished shopkeeper Zhang, but how to continuously operate this rare treasure.

Asba secretly thought that he was lucky, and after serious thinking, he said slowly,

"According to the honorable shopkeeper Zhang, if you can ensure sufficient supply, I will mortgage my house to you to purchase the goods, and then spend the same amount as usual to buy other goods."

"When I return to Rome, I will sell all the ordinary products, open a shop, and give some three-color glazed balls to a few noble people in exchange for their support for my shop!"

"In the future, this shop will be used to sell the highest quality goods of the Tang Empire, and to buy exquisite goods from Rome and surrounding countries to the Tang Dynasty!"

"At the same time, I will build a caravan for traveling through this store. When I return to Datang, I will use my strength to prove to you that I can be your partner!"

After explaining his thoughts seriously, Asba closed his mouth and nervously looked at Zhang Nuo who was thinking in front of him.

It seemed that every time Zhang Nuo frowned, blinked, curled his lips, and smiled touched his heartbeat.

In fact, Zhang Nuo was a little confused at the moment. He thought he could hear some rare treasures for glass balls, Roman gold coins for glass balls, exotic beauties for glass balls, sweaty BMWs for glass balls, but he The bearded mother beeped, saying what he wanted to do when he went to Rome.

Fuck, he's already playing the emperor's signboard. In fact, it's just for a one-time price to sell more, and it's better to keep selling. He knows a shit about foreign trade. He was a restaurant owner in his previous life. What's the matter? It's a small restaurant, and he has a ballsy business mind.

However, it seems that the bearded man said it very well, or is it so settled?

Chapter 186 Aspar's ambition

Regarding the fact that Asba wanted to become his foreign trade partner, Zhang Nuo was actually happy to see it succeed. After all, Asba was also one of the few old foreign traders in Datang. The network is very extensive.

However, Zhang Nuo, who has seen all kinds of deceptions on the Internet in later generations, knows very well that after talking about it, he still has money in the end.

This is a basic principle for future generations to crack all trade scams. I have to see money, and the more money, the greater the sincerity. You put the money in my pocket. What resources, contacts, development, and strategies are you talking about? , I believe in everything, but if the money is not in place, everything is useless.

The current situation is like this. In fact, Zhang Nuo basically believes in Asba's ability to trade in the Western Regions.However, in the final analysis, it still depends on what price Aspar offers and how much goods it takes.

"Asba, I think we have reached a basic agreement. Then, after serious consideration, please tell me what price you plan to pay for my three-color glazed beads, how much to buy at a time, and how to pay?"

Asba thought about it seriously, then looked up at Zhang Nuo with a calm face, gritted his teeth and said seriously,

"Honorable Shopkeeper Zhang, I will offer you [-] guan for one grain, and I will buy [-] grains from you. Of course, I don't have that much cash. Please allow me to use other assets to offset the deduction."

Zhang Nuo frowned, asset deduction, this thing is a bit troublesome, but relatively speaking, the price is quite satisfactory, and [-] coins were recovered at once, although not all in cash, but for Zhang Nuo It is definitely a life-saving money for Nuo's next plan.

Zhang Nuo stroked his bare chin and said slowly,

"I am basically satisfied with the price, and I agree with the purchase quantity of [-] grains. In this way, you still have some strength. However, we have to discuss the asset deduction in detail. You first tell me how much cash you plan to give away! "

When Asba heard that Zhang Nuo agreed to the transaction, a big stone in his heart suddenly fell to the ground. He was too aware of the profits contained in it.

As long as there are such a thousand three-color glazed balls of the same quality shipped to Rome, it can be said that he can sell them for ten times their weight in gold. This is simply a sudden wealth!

And after getting rich in Rome, he can organize a larger caravan and prepare to sell more goods to Tang Dynasty. In this way, his worth will snowball like a snowball.

Perhaps in order to further stimulate Asba, Zhang Nuo turned around and came up with a crooked idea. Looking at the excited Asba, he said seriously,

"Asba, you have to know that as the business partner of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, I have very high requirements for our foreign trade partners. Not everyone can be our partner!"

When Asba heard this, he thought that Zhang Nuo was warning him, so he quickly said,

"Honorable shopkeeper Zhang, please don't worry, it's not the first time that I, Asba, have done business in the Great Tang Empire, and I will definitely satisfy your request!"

Zhang Nuo nodded with a smile, and said with an air of mastery,

"Don't worry about this, we don't have any strict requirements, as long as you pay taxes according to the regulations. Moreover, we have incentive policies for our foreign trade partners!"

"After all, in the future, although you can't clearly say that you are a partner of His Majesty the Emperor, but you contribute to the national treasury by paying taxes, and contribute to His Majesty's personal treasury by earning money, then the benevolent and great His Majesty the Emperor will definitely reward you of!"

Looking at the anticipation of Asbana, who had already raised his appetite, Zhang Nuo asked with a serious face,

"Asba, are you willing to become a citizen of the Great Tang Empire, become a citizen of the Great Tang Empire, safeguard the interests of the Great Tang Empire at all times, and strictly abide by the laws of the Great Tang Empire?"

As a veteran businessman, Asba's lips are trembling now, this motherfucker is afraid that something good is about to come, why doesn't he know the benefits of joining the Datang nationality, and then he will be able to get the protection of the government and the army , and the government can't treat him differently.

At this time, Asba showed the cleverness of the businessman, and he didn't do the chest salute. After standing up and tidying up his clothes seriously, he folded his hands respectfully and bowed respectfully.

"The villain is willing to join the nationality of the Great Tang, become a citizen of the Great Tang, safeguard the interests of the Great Tang Empire at all times, and strictly abide by the laws of the Great Tang!"

Zhang Nuo had to continue the show right now, he patted Asba on the shoulder seriously and said,

"Okay, Asba, I, as the official Dingyuan General of the fifth rank, have been sealed by the imperial court, and I agree with you to join the Great Tang Empire!"

"At the same time, I promise that, as your Majesty and my foreign trade partner, as long as your tax payment reaches a certain level, I will apply for a dismissal official position for you in front of Your Majesty, so that you will not be in vain! "

"Moreover, when your merits are great enough, I guarantee that you will be awarded a title and become a real nobleman. I hope you can work hard and become the first among the foreign people of the Tang Empire to be granted a title by merchants and taxpayers."

Asba was already shaking with excitement at this moment, God, this honorable shopkeeper Zhang is actually an official, and he is a military official of the fifth rank, which is simply unbelievable.

He was not worried that Zhang Nuo would lie to him, because when Zhang Nuo introduced his identity, he had already taken out the silver fish charm hanging from his waist. No one would dare to fake this thing!

What really excites him is that this honorable shopkeeper Zhang actually promised that he can not only become a citizen, but also become an official and even obtain a title in the future?

Oh God, in Allah, how unbelievable this is!

Not to mention being a businessman in the Tang Dynasty, it is not a noble profession in Rome.However, he is different, he is now the distinguished shopkeeper Zhang and the foreign trade partner of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Empire.Well, he believed that he could really get an official position.

Even if it's just a casual official with no specific function like this honorable shopkeeper Zhang, that's fine. That means he's no longer an ordinary businessman, let alone the title rewards that follow.

Although Asba clearly knew that it would take a lot of credit and hard work to achieve the title, but at least there is hope, right?

If it really happened, as the honorable shopkeeper Zhang said, as the first foreigner of the Tang Empire to pay taxes and ennoble his family, his family would definitely be recorded in the history books and passed on for generations.

Thinking of this, Asba didn't say anything, bowed deeply, and said seriously,

"Master Zhang, please don't worry, the villain will definitely do his best and will never disappoint your expectations!"

Chapter 187 Zhang Nuo wants a war horse

Regarding Asba's naturalization, official appointment, and even knighthood, Zhang Nuo really wasn't all fooling around, he said so with confidence.

First of all, as an official of the imperial court, he is still a fifth-rank official who can wear scarlet robes. , Naturalization is really a very simple matter.

As for the appointment of an official, although he doesn't know the emperor, isn't Lao Li related to the emperor, he can get him a fifth-rank official, and then run a ninth-rank sesame official for Asba, or a loose official. Take it easy.

Anyway, when the time comes, the little money that Asba pays for paying taxes will be more than enough to give him some salary, and the business of earning money will be justified, so it will be regarded as the imperial court rewarding big taxpayers.

This little matter, Lao Li, who is known as the royal family, should be able to handle it.

As for the knighthood, hehe, Zhang Nuo didn't say when he would be knighted, how much he would pay for the knighthood, let alone what kind of knighthood he would give at that time.

If the tax payment is astonishingly large, wouldn't there be Lao Li, and ask His Majesty for a lowest-level lord who can't be hereditary and only has a title? There should still be hope.

Therefore, he, Zhang Nuo, really didn't fool around, and he could really fulfill the promise that Asba made.

For the rest of the time, after the two discussed the delivery of goods and money, they separated.

Asba got too much good news today, he had to go back slowly.At the same time, the mobilization of such a large amount of funds does not mean that he can get it out all at once. He also has to deal with some backlogs of goods and check his own property.

After the two parties agreed to handover in Zhangjiazhuangzi outside the city ten days later, Asba finally left in a daze.No way, there are too many benefits, above!

Zhang Nuo walked upstairs with a shaky smile and a smile. He hasn't eaten yet!

As soon as I went upstairs, I saw Xingben standing in front of the box door and looking around. As soon as I saw him, I immediately shouted loudly,
