    Li Min was sitting in the sugar cane trading area on the first floor of the Sea Trade Center, but his ears were listening to the conversation between Shitou and Dunzi next to him. From the information revealed in the two people's words, Li Min also guessed some of their experiences, and it was  He also knew that it was the first time for these two people to do business. At that moment, he couldn't help but smile. He thought that these two young people were really brave. They ran from Taiwan to the Lion City for their first time doing business. However, their luck  It's really bad. I guess there will be no profit from this business.

    Sure enough, as Li Min thought, Shitou and Dunzi discussed for a long time, and finally went to the window and interviewed a businessman who purchased sucrose through the staff inside. It was a coincidence that the other person happened to be at the scene, so the transaction  The two parties reached an agreement directly here. The buyer paid a 20% deposit and agreed to pick up the goods tomorrow morning.  But the fat guy kept mumbling that the business was a huge loss, and the few kilograms of meat he had lost were worth more than that.

    However, after Shitou and Shitou sold the goods, they did not leave the sea trade center immediately. Instead, they started walking around in the lobby on the first floor. Shitou looked at the transaction information in each area very carefully, shaking his head for a while and getting excited for a while.  , I don¡¯t know what he is thinking?

    Li Min is very interested in these two young businessmen who are just starting out. In addition, he also wants to see what these two young people who made a loss in their first business will do next.  Therefore, while watching the situation in each trading area, he paid attention to the actions of the two people.

    After a long while, Shitou and Dunzi left the sea trade center. Li Min thought about it and followed them out of the sea trade center. As a result, he saw the two of them coming to a small stall next to the square to eat barbecue.  Li Min also felt a little hungry, and the two little girls Chou Chou and Yan Yan were also clamoring for grilled seafood.  So he simply sat down at the stall and ordered some barbecue. Unfortunately, Datang didn't have beer, otherwise it would have been perfect.

    "This mutton is really expensive. Brother Shitou, what should we do next? Should we follow the original plan and purchase a batch of Hu people's goods to be shipped to Taiwan? In this way, although the sugar cane does not make much money, at least the goods returned can still be used.  Make another profit?" Dunzi took a bite of the roasted lamb.  While complaining about the prices in the Lion City, he asked Shitou.

    "Most of the supplies here in the Lion City need to be shipped from outside. For example, the mutton we eat is all live sheep shipped from Taiwan, so the price is naturally expensive." Shitou said with a calm smile.  "But we didn't make any money from our first business. Just now we looked at the transaction information again, and I found that even on the first floor of small-scale goods transactions, most of the goods were not priced at the starting price we could pay.  , but there is a business we can do, but the risk is too high."

    When Shitou said the last word, hesitation appeared on his face.  However, Dunzi's eyes lit up after hearing this. Although he was Shitou's partner, in most cases, Shitou was the one who figured it out.  He was just running errands.  So now when I heard Shitou saying that there was a business to be done, Dunzi's eyes immediately lit up and he immediately asked: "Brother Shitou, please tell me, what kind of business is it?"

    But Shi Shi seemed a little hesitant.  After a long while, he didn't answer Dunzi's words, and finally said: "Dunzi. Now we have two options. One is to stay in the Lion City for a few more days, and then we will stay at the Sea Trade Center to see if we can find any bargains.  Some Hu goods are then shipped to Taiwan. As for the other option, which is the risky business I just mentioned, that is to buy a batch of cotton cloth in the Lion City."

    "Cotton cloth?" Dunzi was stunned after hearing this. He didn't even expect that the business Shitou was talking about was actually cotton cloth, so he then asked with a puzzled face, "Brother Shitou, what's so good about the cotton cloth business?"  We made it, and we have just been to the cloth trading area. The price of cotton here in the Lion City is not cheap, it is twice as expensive as in Taiwan. Who should we buy these high-priced cotton cloths to sell to?"

    Dunzi obviously couldn't figure out why Shi Shi bought cotton cloth, but after hearing this, Li Min next to him had a smile on his lips. It seemed that although the young man next to him didn't make any money in his first business, he had a keen heart.  It's just that he was a little too reckless. He wanted to buy cotton, so he probably wanted to take a risk.

    Shitou still said calmly: "Compared with Taiwan, the cotton cloth in the Lion City is certainly very expensive, but you also have to compare it with other places. If compared with the Ceylon Island in the west, it is very expensive."  It¡¯s cheaper.¡±

    "Island of Ceylon?" Hearing the name, Dunzi was also startled. Before they sailed to Southeast Asia, they had some knowledge of maritime geography, so Dunzi naturally knew where the Island of Ceylon was, but he said with some fear.  , "Brother Shitou, are you kidding? Ceylon Island is to the west of Malacca. I heard that as soon as you cross the Strait of Malacca, there will be more pirates on the road. Although His Highness King Qi sent a navy to encircle and suppress it, the effect is  But it's not very good. If we goIf so, isn't that just putting your head on your belt?  "

    After hearing this, Shitou also sighed and said: "Of course I know that the route to Ceylon Island is more dangerous, but it is precisely because of this that as long as the goods can be transported there, the price will immediately increase several times or even ten times.  , and the island of Ceylon is rich in gems. When we ship another batch of gems back to Taiwan, the price will be sky-high. It can be said that as long as we can complete this business, the funds in our hands will increase to more than ten dollars.  Turn over, then we will have the strength to do business that we can¡¯t do now!¡±

    At the end of Shitou's words, when he thought of that wonderful prospect, even with his calmness, he couldn't help but get excited, and there was even more desire in his eyes.  Since the first time he walked out of Luo Shi Village, this young refugee boy has had ambitions that ordinary people don't have, and now he is already preparing to take the first step to realize his ambitions.

    And when Dunzi heard Shitou's last words, he couldn't help but feel infected, and the fat all over his body trembled slightly with excitement.  In the end, he grabbed the roast mutton in front of him and took a few bites. After finally swallowing it, he said excitedly: "It's done. In order to be able to eat meat every day in the future, it's worth taking a risk."  Got it!"

    Hearing Dunzi¡¯s futile words, Shitou laughed loudly, and then the two of them raised the rice wine glasses in front of them, clinked them together, and drank them all at the same time.  However, Li Min next to him frowned slightly when he heard this. It is naturally a good thing for young people to be impulsive, but sometimes being too impulsive may bring huge disasters to themselves.

    Thinking of this, Li Min sighed inwardly. He could meet these two people here, and he had been paying attention to them for a long time. It seemed like they were destined. In this case, he might as well help them, so he stood up and walked away with a smile.  He came to Shitou and said, "Two friends, I just heard you say that you want to do business in Ceylon Island?"

    Shitou, who was having a heated discussion with Dunzi, suddenly heard Li Min's words and was stunned. When he saw a stranger talking to him, he couldn't help but be a little surprised. However, although he didn't know Li Min, he saw the other person's expression.  He looked calm and polite, and he couldn't help but feel good about him. He stood up and said, "Yes, I don't know what to call this big brother, but do you want to go to Ceylon Island too?"

    "Yes, if this eldest brother also wants to go to Ceylon Island, he can take our boat, but there are some dangers along the way, so eldest brother must be mentally prepared!" Dunzi next to him also said.

    When Li Min heard this, he smiled and waved his hands and said: "You two brothers misunderstood. I am not going to Ceylon. I just accidentally heard that you were going there, and it seemed that you were planning to go alone, so I wanted to remind you.  You two, if you only have one or a few boats, it is best not to go, or wait until a large fleet goes to Ceylon. Then you can follow them. This is generally not possible.  You¡¯ll meet pirates.¡±

    Hearing Li Min's kind reminder, Shitou sighed and said: "Thank you for your kindness, brother. We naturally know that it will be much safer to follow the big fleet, but to be honest with brother, this is our first time doing business.  We are also unfamiliar with the city and have no idea of ??any large fleet going to Ceylon recently. Moreover, even if we encounter a large fleet, we are still debating whether they are willing to let us go with them. In addition, the money in our hands is not enough.  There really aren¡¯t many left, and prices in the Lion City are so expensive. If we continue to delay like this, I¡¯m afraid we¡¯ll have to spend even the payment for the goods.¡±

    Seeing Shi Shi being so frank, Li Min smiled and said: "It's a coincidence. I know that a large fleet is going to Ceylon, and there will be warships to escort it at any time. When the time comes, all the pirates from Tianzhu will join us."  If we are together, I don¡¯t dare to take advantage of this fleet. It can be said that it is very safe. Plus, I know the people in this fleet. If you two need it, I can help you introduce them."

    "Thisthis" Shitou was surprised at first, and then he was so excited that he couldn't even speak. Dunzi next to him was also flushed, and his eyes looking at Li Min were full of gratitude.

    "I'm so thank you so much, brother. I wonder what you call him?" Shitou then remembered that he hadn't asked the person's name yet, which was really rude.

    However, Li Min smiled and said: "You two are welcome, we are destined to be together. Please tell me your current address and understand that I will send someone to contact you, but your goods must be prepared as soon as possible. I guess the big one  The fleet will set sail in four days, and if you don¡¯t have the goods ready by then, they won¡¯t be waiting for you!¡±

    "Don't worry, brother, we will prepare the goods as soon as possible, and we will definitely not miss the time!" Shitou was also surprised when he heard that there were still four days left. Speaking of which, the time is really short, but if we hurry up, we can get it ready.  , but after being excited, he had some doubts in his heart: The big brother in front of him wouldn't lie to him, right?
