In the most prosperous area of the spiritual material trading market of the alchemy event, a luxurious but thick black flag with gold threads fluttered in the wind. The four large dark gold characters of "Lingwei Trading Company" on it were thick and eye-catching.
The shape of this flag is somewhat like a flag, and the flag (note ①) on it is flapping in the wind. It seems to symbolize the victory of every transaction.
In the small building behind the flag, Wang Ruiyang, the shopkeeper of Lingwei Trading Company, gently rubbed an emerald-green little turtle in his hand, which looked like it was carved from jasper. The little turtle had a pair of small horns on its head, which was very cute. The little turtle squinted in enjoyment.
With his eyes closed, four small paws gently scratched Wang Ruiyang's palms.
But Wang Ruiyang's eyes were focused on a piece of black iron on the ground: a ton of 99.6% black iron specially used for alchemy!
As soon as this alchemy event began, Wang Ruiyang received bad news!
With a purity of 99.6%, this is the purest black iron sold by the Zhang family. The Zhang family’s public price for this kind of black iron at this alchemy event is 50 high-grade spiritual stones per kilogram, and one ton costs 100,000.
Top quality spiritual stone!
One ton of dark iron used for alchemy can account for less than half of Lingwei Trading Company's net profit from one trade! The most important thing is that it squeezes out Lingwei Trading Company's market share!
Wang Ruiyang actually wanted to kill people in his heart, but on the surface he remained calm, even cold.
He gently brushed the green turtle in his hand with his fingers, feeling the refreshing and peaceful breath coming from the turtle. His mood calmed down little by little, and his rationality continued to return.
This spirit turtle is Wang Ruiyang's beloved, and he got it with all his efforts, means, and price. It has a beautiful name: Jiuyou. Yes, you read that right, this is a beautiful name... Anyway, Wang Ruiyang
That’s what I think!
The Nine Nether Turtle has a powerful illusion ability that makes it difficult to distinguish between real and fake! Even the mature Nine Nether Turtles in the Nascent Soul stage dare not approach them.
The most mysterious thing about the Nine Nether Turtle is that it can release a certain mysterious breath, which can help calm anger and restore reason.
Wang Ruiyang's rationality gradually recovered, but he also gradually fell into deep thought:
It is said that Lingwei Trading Company is a trading company from the country of Canglan. It mainly deals in spiritual materials, medicinal materials, elixirs, etc.; more specifically, it purchases them at low prices from the country of Canglan and then sells them at high prices in the six western countries.
There are many oriental trading houses like Lingwei Trading Company, but the reason why Lingwei Trading Company stands out and becomes one of the most powerful trading houses in the East is that Lingwei Trading Company... holds black iron in its hands!
To be precise: black iron specially used for alchemy!
Utilizing its own connections and strong financial resources, Lingwei Trading Company was able to directly obtain large quantities of black iron specially used for alchemy from distant ships from the East.
The price of black iron from the east starts at around 40 high-grade spiritual stones.
But these 40 high-grade spiritual stones are just quotations. If you want to get a share, you have to bid, give gifts, etc. Anyway, the lowest cost price is well over 40 high-grade spiritual stones per kilogram.
However, Lingwei Trading Company in Western countries was able to sell the black iron used for alchemy at a starting price of 100 high-grade spiritual stones, and also adulterated it - mixed 20% of ordinary black iron into the black iron used for alchemy, and
Compulsory package sale, no selection allowed.
Such a wonderful idea was invented by shopkeeper Wang Ruiyang, and was learned from a large number of Oriental trading companies.
Based on this calculation, Wang Ruiyang actually sold the black iron for 125 per kilogram of high-grade spiritual stone. It was almost 300% of the original price! Moreover, the black iron specially used for alchemy is small in size and the transportation cost is extremely low.
Relying on such huge profits, Wang Ruiyang developed Lingwei Trading Company tenfold in just fifty years! The elders in the family were full of praise.
Wang Ruiyang, who is only seventy years old, still belongs to the "junior" series in the cultivation environment. However, he has made the entire Lingwei Trading Company a prosperous business, and countless people are full of praise. But today, Wang Ruiyang feels a crisis.
Today, from the moment he first arrived, Wang Ruiyang felt the attitude of Xinglin Hall himself. Every time he came here before, either Zhou Jue would come out to receive him, or the eldest disciple of Zhou Shuhai, who was also the eldest disciple of Xinglin Hall, would come out to receive him.
But the person who came to receive me today turned out to be just an ordinary deacon.
Wang Ruiyang is a more tactful person. After a little exploration, he got the news from the deacon: Our country of Qixia has its own black iron specially used for alchemy, and the price is very cheap.
How cheap is it?
Wang Ruiyang remained calm and went to the Zhang family in person to buy the best piece of black iron. Then, Wang Ruiyang was in a daze looking at the black iron until now.
The Zhang family's black iron not only looks great, has excellent quality, and has few types of impurities, but its price in Qixia Kingdom is only half—only half the price of black iron at the port! It is one-sixth of the price of Lingwei Trading Company.
!
The rise of the Zhang family made Wang Ruiyang feel the crisis; but the Zhang family's black iron technology made Wang Ruiyang greedy!
"Should we find some experts to kick this Zhang family down? Or kidnap that Zhang Hao?" Wang Ruiyang's eyes flashed with danger. However, Wang Ruiyang was very sensible, and he quietly found local connections.
First, let’s get a feel for the Zhang family’s foundation.
…………
However, after Zhang Hao left the princess' Zhulou, he quickly rushed to his advertising location. At this time, the place was already crowded, and the noise was like ocean waves.
Zhang Hao spent a lot of effort before squeezing in from the crowd, and saw Dugu Junjie shouting: "Get in line, get in line! Everyone has a share in the black iron viewing, don't be anxious."
The black iron specially used for alchemy by the Zhang family is only one-sixth of the price in the East! Moreover, we will never adulterate it."
"The Zhang family's black iron is sold in blocks. There are five standards for the black iron used for alchemy.
One kilogram, ten kilograms, one hundred kilograms, five hundred kilograms, one ton.
The price is clearly marked, you can choose freely, and there will never be any package sales!"
"The quantity is large, and the Zhang family will never sell it in limited quantities. You can definitely rest assured about this. The price will not increase in the future!"
"The quality of Zhangjia's black iron can be seen and touched, and we are not afraid of comparing goods! If there is one cheaper and better than Zhangjia's, we promise a full refund!"
…
Zhang Hao listened for a while and blinked in shock: Dugu Junjie, you are so outstanding. Where did you learn these advertising slogans?
However, seeing that Dugu Junjie was having so much fun, Zhang Hao didn't bother him and just waited quietly.
After waiting for a long time for Dugu Junjie to stop, Zhang Hao walked over.
"Master, what did I say?" Dugu Junjie said with an expression asking for credit.
"Very good, I didn't even think of it."
"That's because, in order to learn these words, I just went to several demonstration positions to steal their lessons."
So that’s it! Zhang Hao had a black line and forgot that this world is actually a bit ‘skinny’: Speaking of business being developed, it’s too normal to have these advertisements and the like.
Dugu Junjie took out another list: "Master, we have just sold two tons of black iron specially used for alchemy. Many people have just gone back to raise spiritual stones. It is estimated that more people will come to buy it soon."
"Very good. Keep going..."
"You are Zhang Hao!" Someone shouted next to him in a very rude voice.
Zhang Hao turned his head and asked, "What do you call me?"
"You don't need to worry about what you call it. I'm just going to ask you what's going on with the Zhang family. We both belong to the Six Western Countries. Why does Xuan Tie have two prices?
The selling price for you in Qixia Country starts at 20 spiritual stones. If the purity increases a little, the selling price will increase by five high-grade spiritual stones.
But for us, it starts with 30 spiritual stones. Every time the purity increases, the selling price increases by 10 high-grade spiritual stones!
We have all come here specially, but what you are doing is going too far!"
This remark caused a huge response.
Zhang Hao calmly said: "Oh... well, don't you know there is a word 'tariff'? Our selling price already includes tariffs."
"..." Can you fucking talk any more?
After Zhang Hao finished speaking, he was about to leave. Unexpectedly, the ground beneath his feet suddenly trembled a few times. Although it was very weak, it could make people feel the huge power. A dull roar came from the ground.
Almost at the same time, I saw a huge explosion on the mountain behind Xinglin Hall, where the inner gate was, and a ball of flames shot into the sky. A small building was completely shattered, a large area of the ground was overturned, and an unknown number of rocks were lifted into the air.
Broken while rolling.
And in the explosion, a slim figure in ragged clothes fell powerlessly.
