Chapter 89: Earn a hundred taels of gold a day [Please vote for recommendations~]
Just as Yao Yun thought, when the first batch of snowflake salt was officially sold, many merchants showed regret on their faces.
Obviously, at this moment, many merchants regretted not increasing their prices.
Although seven taels of gold is a lot, based on last year's profit from snowflake salt, excluding transportation costs and losses, there is still a lot of profit to be made.
Coupled with the monthly limit of snowflake salt, its prospects are even broader. As its reputation increases, the value of snowflake salt will only become higher and higher.
Get it now and earn money when you buy it!
However, as a businessman, when thinking about huge profits, he will also consider losses. At best, seven taels of gold is nothing, but what if the market goes bad?
The faces of many businessmen showed signs of struggle, eager to try but full of anxiety at the same time.
Only the Izumo caravan swordsman who succeeded looked calm and composed, but he was already very happy inside. After the Izumo monarch personally received him and praised the good stuff three times, he understood the value of snowflake salt.
.
Nowadays, nobles of all sizes in Izumo Kingdom are proud to be able to buy snowflake salt, and are proud to eat snowflake salt. This phenomenon has obviously become common practice.
This is the case in Izumo Country. Looking at the reactions of other caravans, it is obvious that the response of snowflake salt is good in various places, which is enough to prove the prospects of snowflake salt.
Why didn't Brother Dao know the reason? When he learned that the purchase of snowflake salt was limited, he already had an idea in his mind. He was bound to get the snowflake salt this time.
Now that I have acquired the First Stone Snowflake Salt, Brother Dao is laughing in his heart.
Hu Yi didn't give the merchants much time to breathe, and the bidding started again for the second portion of snowflake salt.
This time the shooting was even more intense than the last time!
The second lot of snowflake salt was sold for eight taels of gold and five hundred dollars, and the buyer was the Izumo caravan again.
At this time, the businessmen became restless.
The Izumo Kingdom is one of the stronger among several nearby vassal states. The king of the Izumo Kingdom is a hereditary earl and the boss of the surrounding vassal states. He has strong soldiers and horses, and is as strong as the clouds. The country is at its peak. Izumo merchants
The team is also recognized as the strongest among all caravans.
Seeing Brother Dao take action repeatedly and win two stones of snowflake salt at once, the merchants' faces were very exciting!
I wasn't angry that Brother Dao looked ugly, but I also regretted why I didn't increase the price just now.
Judging from the posture of the Yun Caravan, it is obvious that they are bound to win.
Is there something I don't know?
"Brother Dao, you look too ugly when you eat. You took two stones of snowflake salt in succession and didn't even give us a sip of soup!" A merchant said angrily.
Brother Dao laughed heartily: "The one with the highest price will win. There's nothing ugly about this. Doing business involves taking risks. I'm just a little bolder!"
Hu Yi also said with a straight face: "Yes, this is an auction house. The one with the highest bid gets it. This is not a place for you to talk about friendship. The third part is being auctioned now. If you have money, bid on it. If you don't have money, get out!"
What does it mean to be confident, and what does it mean to be a big bully in a store? This is what Hu Yi is. Yao Yun, who was hiding in the side room, gave Hu Yi a thumbs up. At this time, there is no need to pay attention to the service attitude. The more arrogant he is, the more people will fall into this trap.
You can't lose your strength.
Sure enough, when the merchants heard Hu Yi's rude words, they were not annoyed at all. Instead, they stretched their necks and raised their hands holding wooden signs in the air, ready to bid at any time!
The third portion of snowflake salt was sold for 8 taels of gold and 800 knives!
...
The fifth piece of snowflake salt was sold for nine taels of gold and two hundred dollars.
...
By the time the sixth portion of Snowflake Salt arrived, the transaction price began to increase significantly again, directly reaching the sky-high price of ten taels of gold!
hiss!
The merchants took a breath of cold air. Ten taels of gold was not a small number. An ordinary people's family could live frugally for more than twenty years.
But put here, ten taels of gold are just for fun, nothing at all.
There was sweat on the foreheads of the merchants, and the huge pressure stimulated them. Some caravan leaders' hands were shaking. In the past, they carried large and small bags, ox carts, and horse-drawn carriages when doing business. It seemed that the amount was staggering, but in fact it was always
The value converted into gold is only a few dozen taels.
With tens of taels of gold being auctioned in front of them at every turn, the merchants were also a little nervous.
As the snowflake salt becomes less and less, this kind of pressure becomes more and more intense. Many small caravans have sadly withdrawn from the business. Although they can also get ten taels of gold, it is really not what they want to put most of their wealth into it.
bearable.
Before anyone could take a breath, the bidding for the seventh portion of snowflake salt began again.
This time, perhaps because everyone calmed down, the bidding price did not rise significantly again, but the final price was only ten taels of gold and three hundred knives.
Hu Yi also had a dry mouth and was recalling the words taught by the king crazily in his mind, so he picked up a wooden sign representing snowflake salt, raised it, and said profoundly:
"This is the second portion. There is no shop like this after passing this village. The snowflake salt is being refined incessantly. The next one may not be sold for ten stones. Please seize the opportunity!"
In fact, Hu Yi's eloquence was not very good, but the already red-eyed merchants became commotion upon hearing this.
Just as Commander Hu Yi said, there are not many opportunities left for them! Some people regretted not taking action earlier. Now when they heard this, their eyes were red, as if they were crazy.
As a result, the penultimate portion of snowflake salt ushered in an unprecedented fierce competition, with the base price rising from one tael of gold to ten taels of gold. Then there were calls for price increases of one hundred dollars, one hundred dollars, and it was very lively!
Soon, the price exceeded 11 taels of gold and did not stop. It was not until 11 taels of gold and 600 knives that the price was finally sold.
The buyer turned out to be the Izumo caravan again!
Everyone took a breath. The Izumo caravan bought three portions of snowflake salt, which cost more than twenty taels of gold. At this time, everyone understood that the Izumo caravan had come prepared and had brought enough.
Golden pancakes!
For a time, many powerful caravans regretted it. They had the strength, but their confidence was not that great. After all, although Snowflake Salt has a good prospect, the salt transportation losses are large, the prospect is not yet clear, and the risks are very high!
However, the madness of the Izumo Caravan gave others confidence. After all, the Izumo Chamber of Commerce preemptively won two shares of snowflake salt and then snatched it at a high price. This explains a lot of problems.
Ever since, the auction of the last piece of snowflake salt has reached its climax.
The final transaction price was thirteen taels of gold!
The ten-stone snowflake salt was finally sold for more than ninety taels of gold, which was close to a full one hundred taels of gold. If it were ordinary coarse salt, it would have been sold for a full thousand stones!
After the auction, the main house was still noisy, but the side room was quiet.
The bald dragon smacked his lips and murmured: "Earn a hundred taels of gold a day! This snowflake salt actually sold for a hundred times the price of ordinary coarse salt!"
