Zhong Shan was at the branch of the Darong Chamber of Commerce analyzing the information collected from all parties. The general manager of the branch quickly ran in.
"Zhao Hai, why are you so anxious?" Zhong Shan raised his head and frowned.
"Your Majesty, you asked me to pay attention to news from all over the world, but as soon as I left, I heard unusual news coming from Liuhe City!" Zhao Hai, the general manager of Da Rong Chamber of Commerce here, said immediately.
"Oh?" Zhong Shan was slightly surprised.
"It's a Sumeru stone mountain, and it was sold for a sky-high price!" Zhao Hai said immediately.
"Sky-high price? Xumi Stone Mountain?" Zhong Shan was slightly surprised.
Sumeru stones are used to make storage bracelets. The number of sumeru stones determines the size of the storage space. Sumeru stones are as common goods in China as spiritual stones, and they are as irreplaceable as spiritual stones. In the past,
Zhong Shan completed the first step of the Skyfall Plan by hyping up the Sumeru Stone. The Sumeru Stone Mountain naturally contains a large number of Sumeru Stones.
"Yes, that is a mountain of Sumeru Stone. According to the previous price, it should only be worth one million high-grade spiritual stones! However, this time after someone sent the mountain of Sumeru Stone, it was actually purchased by a shop for 10 million high-grade spiritual stones.
, ten times the price, once the news came out, the whole city was shocked." Zhao Hai said.
"Oh? Ten times?" Zhong Shan frowned slightly.
"Yes, it's ten times. This is just the purchase price. The store will sell the items after the auction. Once sold, there will be at least 20% profit!" Zhao Hai said immediately.
"Is there someone from the Darong Chamber of Commerce to take pictures?" Zhong Shan asked.
"Yes, our Darong Chamber of Commerce is in Liuhe City. The largest store is the Sumeru Stone Store, which specializes in selling Sumeru Stone. This time when outsiders come in, our store will definitely go there. According to the old shopkeeper, the group of people who participated in the auction at that time
People are going crazy, the price keeps rising, up to ten times, but the old shopkeeper doesn’t pursue the bid!" Zhao Hai thought for a moment.
"What is the attitude of the people now?" Zhong Shan asked with a frown.
"Wait and see, the people are all waiting to see the momentum of the Sumeru Stone, but all the people's eyes are directed to the Sumeru Stone!" Zhao Hai thought for a while.
"Ten times? How many Xumi Stone shops are there in the city?" Zhong Shan asked with a frown.
"There are fifty of them in total. The Sumeru Stone store of our Dairong Chamber of Commerce is ranked in the top ten. Once the news that the Sumeru Stone surged tenfold came out, almost all the Sumeru Stone stores have been buying and selling in small quantities recently, and the prices have also been rising.
Soaring up." Zhao Hai said.
"Soaring?" Zhong Shan frowned slightly, as if he had discovered something unusual.
"Yes, my Darong Xumi store of the Darong Chamber of Commerce is in a dilemma!" Zhao Hai said worriedly.
"Oh? Why?" Zhong Shan frowned.
"When the store opened here, I promised that the price would only fall but not rise in a hundred years. But now, isn't this a slap in the face? If we don't raise others' prices, then everyone will come to snatch our Sumeru Stone.
Once the time is sold out, it will definitely affect the reputation. Once the reputation is damaged, it will be difficult to continue to develop!" Zhao Hai worried.
"Well, your idea is good!" Zhong Shan nodded.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhao Hai showed a rare smile.
"What kind of store is the store that I bought for ten times the price?" Zhong Shan asked in a deep voice.
"Called 'Lu's Chamber of Commerce', it first appeared in Liuhe City four months ago. Once it appeared, it immediately caused a storm in the city. In just four months, it became one of the largest stores in Liuhe City and developed extremely rapidly. No, it was
The development is incredibly fast! Countless spiritual stones are poured into the Lu Chamber of Commerce every day. Four months, just four months has almost become a weathervane in the city. As soon as the price of any item increases, other places will immediately follow.
If it lowers its price, other stores in the city will immediately lower their prices!" Zhao Hai exclaimed.
"Oh? Lu's Chamber of Commerce? They just came here four months ago? They stirred up trouble in the city as soon as they arrived?" Zhong Shan said in surprise.
"Yes! On the first day it opened, there was a huge flow of people. Within a month, it was packed every day!" Zhao Hai exclaimed.
"How did the Lu Chamber of Commerce do it?" Zhong Shan said solemnly.
"On the opening day, Lu's Chamber of Commerce did not make any ostentation. They just put up a sign and countless people flocked in," Zhao Haidao said.
"What brand?"
"The sign says, 'Anyone who finds a defective product at Lu's Chamber of Commerce will be rewarded with one million spiritual stones!'. Then, for this reward, as long as anyone sees the sign, they will immediately go in and check all the products carefully, and then spread the word to ten
, spread from ten to one!" Zhao Hai said.
"A thousand pieces of gold? Lu Buwei?" Zhong Shan's pupils shrank.
Isn't this Lu Buwei's old trick? Scholars all over the world read "Lu's Spring and Autumn" and found a word that could be changed, and were rewarded with thousands of gold. The whole world flocked to read it.
"A word of gold?" Zhao Hai didn't understand what was going on.
"Well, regardless of this, let me ask you, has anyone found a defective product?" Zhong Shan asked.
"The Lu's Chamber of Commerce is very large, with more than a million products. It is impossible for every one of them to be high-quality. On the second day, someone found a defective product. The Lu's Chamber of Commerce awarded a million spiritual stones in public!" Zhao
Hai said.
"Oh?" Zhong Shan frowned.
"Unexpectedly, instead of visiting Lu's Chamber of Commerce less because of this defective product, there are actually more people visiting every day. The profits brought to Lu's Chamber of Commerce every day are also getting larger and larger. In just four months, people have crowded into
We have secured the location of one of the top shops in Liuhe City." Zhao Hai exclaimed.
"Driven by profit. People are naturally willing to go, because what they buy are high-quality products. Even if they buy defective products, it is even better. If they can exchange for millions of spiritual stones, who has anything to worry about?" Zhong Shan Weiwei
A sigh.
Lu Buwei is worthy of being a veteran in business. On the basis of "a word of gold", he has taken a step further to "break and then build". It is because of this defective product that the business has endured for a long time. Perhaps the defective product was Lu Buwei's intention.
"Your Majesty, what should we do now?" Zhao Hai said with worry in his eyes.
"Have all the shops in the city that buy and sell Sumeru stones adjusted their prices uniformly?" Zhong Shan asked.
"No, most of the prices have been adjusted, but the price increases vary. It's like looking at the price tag of the Lu Chamber of Commerce. As soon as it comes out, many people will probably flock to follow it. People don't dare to buy now because they are afraid of buying it at a high price and then losing it.
Come down!" Zhao Hai said.
"Yeah!" Zhong Shan nodded.
"Your Majesty, there will be another Sumeru Stone auction in five days. Do we want to take it, even if it costs a lot of money?" Zhao Hai asked.
"I'll go with you then!" Zhong Shan said.
"yes!"
The second day.
"Your Majesty, come out. The prices from Lu's Chamber of Commerce are out. The retail price of Xumi Stone has increased tenfold!" Zhao Hai hurriedly ran over.
"The Lu's Chamber of Commerce has increased its price? What about the other Xumi Stone shops?" Zhong Shan frowned.
"It's also increased, most of them have increased. Nearly twenty of them have increased by the same amount as Lu's Chamber of Commerce, and the rest have different prices. Only a few of them haven't increased their prices like us!" Zhao Hai said worriedly.
"Where are the people?" Zhong Shan nodded.
"Some people are already anxious to buy Sumeru stones. This morning, there are obviously many more people coming to buy Sumeru stones than before!" Zhao Hai said.
"A lot more?" Zhong Shan said solemnly.
"Yes, Your Majesty, there is no Xumi Stone mine near Liuhe City. To purchase goods from the outside world, it must take eight years to go back and forth. This does not include the dangers encountered on the way. After all, Xumi Stone cannot be placed in a storage bracelet. Once
If you turn it into a bracelet and then destroy it and take it out again, only half of the original effect is left, and there is other people's blood and spiritual consciousness on it. You have to buy the latest Xumi Stone, because only you can open the storage bracelet best.
Other people's bloodline consciousness, that is to say, others can also open it, and such a Sumeru stone cannot be sold for a good price." Zhao Hai said with a frown.
On the third and fourth days, more and more people from Da Rong Chamber of Commerce bought Xumi Stone!
Day five.
Zhong Shan and Zhao Hai went to look at the shops, Darong Chamber of Commerce, and Darong Xumi Store. There was already a long queue at the door!
"Your Majesty, look, these people all want to buy Sumeru Stone. I have set up a password. Each person can only buy a pound of Sumeru Stone per day, but there are still so many people!" Zhao Hai frowned.
"Well! Let's go and see some auction!" Zhong Shan frowned.
"yes!"
The two soon came to a huge valley. In the center of the valley, there was a small mountain with flawless white jade, which was completely made of original Sumeru stones. Another Sumeru stone mountain.
Big businessmen in twos and threes have gathered in the valley. They are divided into many small groups, obviously all coming for this Sumeru Stone Mountain.
With Zhao Hai's identity as an introduction, no one stopped them, and the two stepped in.
Looking at Xumi Rock Mountain, Zhong Shan looked at the businessmen around him. Suddenly, Zhong Shan's hair stood on end as he looked at a corner of the valley.
Zhong Shan suddenly felt someone staring at him. He turned around and saw a man in rich clothes sitting in front of a table with a large number of servants standing beside him. The man seemed to be waiting while drinking and tasting food.
"Your Majesty, the man sitting there is the head of the Lu Chamber of Commerce. No one knows his name. We call him Mr. Lu. He rarely shows up and I have only met him once!" Zhao Hai immediately whispered.
road.
Mr. Lu? Zhong Shan looked at the man in fine clothes, and the man seemed to have paid attention to Zhong Shan from the beginning. The end of the wine glass in his hand was facing Zhong Shan.
Zhong Shan shook his head slightly, then walked away with a faint smile.
Zhao Hai followed closely behind.
"Mr. Lu?" Zhong Shan approached and bowed slightly.
"Mr. Zhong, please take a seat!" The man in the Chinese robe said with a faint smile.
Zhong Shan had already guessed that this person was Lu Buwei, but he didn't reveal it. Lu Buwei knew clearly who Zhong Shan was in front of him, so he didn't reveal it, but asked Zhong Shan to sit down.
Zhong Shan felt a little weird in his heart, but he still said calmly: "That would be disrespectful!"
Zhong Shan sat down and Zhao Hai stood behind him.
Seeing Zhong Shan being so calm, Lu Buwei admired it slightly, and there was a hint of teasing in his eyes.
"Mr. Zhong, would you like to try the special delicacies of Liuhe City, paired with the fine wine of our dynasty?" Lu Buwei asked.
"Why not? Then Zhongshan will try Mr. Lu's taste!" Zhongshan picked up the wine and took a slow sip.
Lu Buwei kept staring, as if he wanted to see through Zhongshan.
"Moisturizing but not drying, clear but not cold, fat but not greasy, refreshing but refreshing, it is indeed a good wine!"
