In the garden of the city lord's palace, in the pavilion, a pair of green and slender hands gently unfolded a ten-foot-long gastrodia paper scroll.
On the scroll, the four characters "Credit Terms" are very eye-catching.
The handwriting has no calligraphy art form at all, but is stroke by stroke, horizontally and vertically, very rigid.
"Princess, this word is not beautiful at all, it's so rigid." The maid commented in a low voice.
The princess smiled: "That's what I want.
This is a clause, it should be clear and concise, not beautiful.
So, I can only write it like this."
After the princess read the terms word for word, she exclaimed, "Amazing!"
Outside the pavilion, Liu Jingming heard this and asked: "What did the princess see?"
"I saw a genius idea and put it into practice. How much black iron did the City Lord's Palace purchase this time?"
"100 tons, with a total value of more than 50,000 high-grade spiritual stones. The purity of the dark iron purchased this time is above 90%, most of which are 93% pure, and a few are 95% pure."
The princess frowned slightly: "That's not right. If all are calculated based on 93% purity, the market price would be around 80,000 high-grade spiritual stones. Even if calculated at a 20% discount, it would not be less than 60,000 high-grade spiritual stones."
"The princess doesn't know something, but the price of black iron has been falling again recently.
Because the Zhang family disclosed the water forging technique, many families, business houses, and even large and small sects that wanted to produce black iron in the past but did not have the technology began to dig minerals and smelt black iron.
Moreover, the openness of technology has led to the complete transparency of Xuantie's costs.
Therefore, the price of black iron has dropped sharply now. Even high-purity black iron has been affected."
The princess frowned and her eyes became sharp: "Is this deliberately caused by the Zhang family?"
"Probably not. At that time, the Zhang family was forced into a corner by the Qian family and had no choice."
"Then who drafted this "Credit Clause"?"
"Zhu Yuantang said that Zhang Hao was almost entirely responsible."
"Oh." The princess responded, "What do you think of this clause?"
"I think it's very good. With this clause, we can obtain ten times the black iron at the same cost as before; as long as we can turn these black iron into weapons and magic weapons as soon as possible, we can make huge profits.
Now that the Western countries are preparing for the Eastern Expedition, except for the Kingdom of Qixia, all the other countries need a large amount of weapons and magic weapons. Therefore, we don’t have to worry about selling them."
…………
After lunch, Zhang Hao stretched hard. The eight hundred tons of black iron that filled the room yesterday were moved away in just half an hour.
In exchange, they received a large amount of spiritual stones, elixirs, etc.
There are also some low-quality broken spirit stones necessary for smelting black iron; these broken spirit stones will be sent directly to Changshan Town, where the Zhang family is located.
Even if they temporarily paid one-tenth of the selling price, the Zhang family still received more than 30,000 high-level spiritual stones, which is 300 million low-level spiritual stones!
Zhang Shengde is waving his wealth and buying up all the surrounding stores.
By the way, I'm still buying a lot of pills and so on.
Zhang Hao is also thinking: The Zhang family can no longer be regarded as a small family, but it cannot be completely freed from the shadow of a small family.
Because, the Zhang family has not been able to simultaneously improve their cultivation power.
It is very dangerous to have wealth and influence without the corresponding power to protect it.
Therefore, Zhang Shengde needed to purchase a large amount of elixirs immediately to cultivate his own strength.
Although Western elixirs are very expensive and exaggerated, you still have to buy them.
In the afternoon, when Zhang Shengde returned with a bunch of pills and the Zhang family team was about to pack up and prepare to set off, a representative of the people wandering on the street finally came forward. He was a man in his twenties.
"Hello, Mr. Zhang." The visitor bowed his waist and smiled, with a hint of helplessness and last hope in his embarrassment.
Zhang Hao nodded lightly, "What do you call it?"
"Gu Xuanjun, the Gu who takes care of you, the Xuan of Xuanyuan, the gentleman of gentlemen."
Zhang Hao nodded, the Gu family is a family similar to the Zhang family before.
"It turns out to be Master Gu. Do you need help from the Zhang family?"
"This..." Gu Xuanjun looked a little embarrassed, but gritted his teeth and said: "Master Zhang, the Zhang family disclosed Xuan Tie's water forging technique before, and everyone is very grateful."
"Well, there is a saying that 'if you are poor, you can be good for yourself; if you are prosperous, you can help the world.' The Zhang family is just doing its best to contribute to the spiritual world.
this is necessary."
Zhang Hao's words were not serious, but he spoke them with great justice, which made people awe-struck.
The premise is, Master Zhang, why is that smug look on your lips?
But Gu Xuanjun understood it this way - the Zhang family has the right to be proud, right? Therefore, the embarrassment on his face became more and more intense: "This...that...Master Zhang, your public water forging technique is good, but
It also caused some negative impacts on the market."
"Oh? Negative impact?" Zhang Hao looked surprised, "Sorry, I haven't paid much attention to the outside world recently. Can you tell me in detail?"
"That's it...now the quality of black iron has improved, but the cost has also increased; but the market price has dropped instead. Those black iron with a purity of less than 70% have become unsaleable; while the black iron with a purity higher than 90%, the price has also dropped.
affected."
"Oh..." Zhang Hao looked surprised, "It's like this. So what do you want me or the Zhang family to do?"
"This...this..." Gu Xuanjun muttered for a long time, but didn't know how to speak. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "Can you please come forward from the Zhang family and invite everyone to sit down and discuss, and jointly agree on a black iron price, etc."
Zhang Hao's eyes flashed with light - the opportunity finally came to me. However, the heat was not enough.
There was embarrassment on Zhang Hao's face: "Shouldn't we ask the city lord for this?"
"The city lord doesn't care about this."
"Okay, what do you want me to do? Do you want to tell everyone to raise the price of black iron again?"
"Yes, yes. We don't seek to restore the original price, at least leave a way for small and medium-sized families like us to survive. Master Zhang, we really have no choice.
Today, the Zhang family has the greatest influence in the field of black iron smelting. I sincerely ask the Zhang family to come forward and at least invite everyone together to sit down and have a good discussion."
Zhang Hao nodded: "I can't make the decision on this matter. I'll tell my father."
"Okay, okay, please, Master Zhang."
Zhang Hao stood up, looked at the longing eyes on the street, smiled and nodded to everyone, and was immediately replaced by nods and flattering smiles.
Seeing these neat nods, Zhang Hao suddenly couldn't help but smile.
But when Zhang Hao turned his head, the smile on his face became even brighter. However, the previous smile was kind, but the current smile was proud.
Huh, more than ten days ago, you gathered here and forced our Zhang family to come up with technology.
More than ten days later, you gathered here again, but you came to beg us with shame.
However, the initiative is no longer with you!
Zhang Shengde had already heard the situation on the street and Gu Xuanjun's words. When he saw Zhang Hao coming, he asked directly: "Sure enough, you have asked for us. What are your plans?"
