After everyone calmed down, Zhang Hao first thanked everyone for coming, expressed welcome, and made it clear that we were also here for trade. Then, Zhang Hao briefly introduced the country of Qixia and so on.
After the introduction, everyone suddenly became excited. Everyone sketched such an image in their minds:
A country trapped on the edge of the known world, a country that has struggled unyieldingly for thousands of years, has made a decision in desperation: to open up a lifeline from the green sea of death! Connect with the huge commercial network of the pan-civilized world, and integrate into the civilization.
in the world.
After countless arduous attempts, they finally built a steel battleship, broke through the dangerous sea, and ushered in their own light.
This light belongs to all mankind. Because the emergence of giant steel ships means that mankind can finally sail on the open sea. Its significance is of great significance and can be regarded as Armstrong's first step on the moon.
This small progress is the height of civilization.
"Let's go, let me take you to visit the Zhiyuan battleship.
Yes, this is a warship, not a warship. It is a brand-new ship. Compared with a warship, a warship itself has strong combat effectiveness." Zhang Hao did not talk about business, but first led everyone to visit.
Compared with those ocean-going merchant ships, the Zhiyuan is not very big, and of course more than two hundred people cannot move together; Zhang Hao leads thirty or forty people to visit each time.
The tour took half a day, and when we returned to the restaurant, everyone was whispering. Was it shocking? Yes, it was so shocking.
Although this ocean-going merchant ship is huge, its entire body is made of higher-grade steel than black iron. Not to mention the excellent performance of the steel, just based on the price of black iron, this ship... is a mountain of wealth!
Even the purity of the railings is as high as 99%! And the purity of the cannon's barrel is as high as 99.5%. As far as the eye can see, it is a world of black iron.
"Such a steel battleship, even in the God Transformation stage, can't attack it, right?" Leng Qingsong, the young master of Qixing Trading Company, was communicating with the people next to him. We often meet at sea, sometimes competing, sometimes cooperating, even if they can't be said to be acquaintances
, but also have a basic understanding.
But now that everyone is cooperating again, everyone is together and shocked together.
In the past, they had heard a little about the name of the Country of Qixia, but every time they mentioned this country, it was always together with the Six Western Countries, and was exploited and blocked by the Country of Canglan. In everyone's impression, the Country of Qixia
The country is the world outside the circle of civilization.
In the words of the people of the Langya Country, they envied and envied the geographical location of the Canglan Country, and envied the Canglan Country for being able to exploit the six Western countries without restraint.
I can remember the four words "Qixia Kingdom" because it is said that this is the end of the known world and the home of the sunset. Because of this, everyone knows that the names of the Six Western Kingdoms and the Qixia Kingdom are related to the other five
Country, but not much is known about it.
But generally speaking, in everyone's impression, the country of Qixia = a world on the edge, where the ends of the earth are, where the light of civilization cannot shine.
But today, the Kingdom of Qixia suddenly appeared with force. In just a few hours, it destroyed the first navy of the Kingdom of Langya and bombarded the most prosperous port of Surabaya in the Kingdom of Langya.
This is seriously inconsistent with the legend!
Zhang Hao finally walked into the restaurant and clapped his hands, "Thank you all for coming. This time, Qixia Country is also here for business. Now, please take a look at the products from Qixia Country. We adopt a bidding method.
We priced the stones based on spiritual stones, and finally sold them with various elixirs."
Then Zhang Hao took out a piece of paper and said with a smile: "When I was visiting just now, I also asked everyone about the price of the elixir.
Pei Yuan Dan, ordinary Pei Yuan Dan price, 0.6 spirit stones, superior 1 spirit stone, the best, perfect Pei Yuan Dan 2 spirit stones.
Foundation Establishment Pill, ordinary Foundation Establishment Pill, 50 spirit stones, superior 70 spirit stones, excellent 100 spirit stones.
The price of Xiaoling Yuan Dan...
The price of True Essence Pill..."
Zhang Hao read for more than ten minutes, covering hundreds of commonly used elixirs, which are also the most needed elixirs in Qixia Country. These elixirs are common and relatively stable in price, but they are very important to the foundation of a practicing society.
In this transaction, Zhang Hao, Dayang Group, and even the entire Qixia Kingdom came here for these basic elixirs. For those special and top elixirs, there are not many needed for the time being.
Youdao is a real person who knows etiquette, and the world of spiritual practice is the same. Only after you have satisfied the basic elixirs can you pursue those advanced elixirs.
The prices announced by Zhang Hao are overall reasonable. But everyone looked at Zhang Hao, and they were a little wary of the little fox!
It turns out that you just took us to visit each other for a purpose. Can you be more cunning?
But everyone has no problem with the price. Merchant ships from the East mainly use their elixirs, magic weapons, talismans, etc. to trade spiritual stones, precious spiritual materials, medicinal materials and other high-end raw materials from the Fertile Continent.
There was not much decoration. In this simple canteen, Zhang Hao started a bidding.
The auction items are all treasures stored by the royal family of the Kingdom of Qixia. Precious medicinal materials, rare spiritual materials, etc. The transaction is very fierce.
Although only a part of the treasures accumulated by a country over thousands of years has been used, it is still enough to make people crazy.
An auction lasted until the evening, with a total transaction volume of tens of millions of high-grade spiritual stones, which would be exchanged for a large amount of commonly used elixirs. Just over sixty boxes of top-grade medicinal materials and spiritual materials were exchanged for more than two hundred tons.
elixir.
There are big and small elixirs, light and heavy densities. The density of Peiyuan Dan is relatively low, and the density of some elixirs is even comparable to that of lead pills; but the average weight of one elixir is about two qian, which is 10 grams.
The weight of the foundation-building pill. Generally speaking, the higher the grade of the pill, the greater the density.
Of course, the size of the elixir is uncertain. After all, the elixir is refined by hand. There is no production line these days, so a slight difference is inevitable. But for this reason, large-scale elixir transactions are all based on weight.
Taking the Foundation Establishment Pill as an example, there are 50 pills per pound; when large-scale transactions are carried out, this standard is followed. As for how many Foundation Establishment Pills there are, no one counts them.
More than two hundred tons of pills, even if calculated based on the average weight, are 20 million foundation-building pills! It is enough for the entire Qi-refining period of the Qixia Kingdom, and one person can have one pill!
Just one transaction is enough to change the entire cultivation environment of Qixia Kingdom.
And this is just the beginning.
In the evening, Feng Zhiling painstakingly cut out more than 200 kilograms of octopus fillets. Each representative who came to trade could get a kilogram of grilled octopus fillets. The atmosphere was very lively. After dinner, the next stage of the transaction entered.
:
Black iron, steel.
According to the information Zhang Hao received during the day, although the Eastern countries can refine black iron specifically for alchemy, their black iron is forged, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, expensive, and the texture of the finished product is uneven.
The price on land for Eastern black iron specially used for alchemy is: starting from 40 high-grade spiritual stones per kilogram, for purity below 99.3%, for every additional point of purity, add 5 pieces of high-grade spiritual stones. for every additional point of purity below 99.5%, add 10 pieces for each additional point of purity.
Top-grade spiritual stones. When the percentage is above 99.6, the price will be... random.
As for the highest purity in the East, only a very small amount of dark iron can reach a purity of 99.7%. It still needs to be refined at the stage of becoming a god. Whether it can be successful or not depends on fate.
Listed below are:
99.0%, 40 high-grade spiritual stones.
99.1%, 45 top grade spiritual stones.
99.2%, 50 high-grade spiritual stones
99.3%, 55 high-grade spiritual stones.
99.4%, 65 high-grade spiritual stones.
99.5%, 75 high-grade spiritual stones.
99.6%, it is starting to become scarce and requires bidding, so the price is naturally not accurate; but there is no problem at all if it exceeds 100 high-grade spiritual stones.
As for 99.7% of them, they are rare.
You know, according to what Feng Zhiling said, when the headmaster of Xuanzhen Sect got a pound of 99.7% black iron, he was so happy that he was so excited that he was reluctant to use it. However, within a few days of being happy, he was killed by an unscrupulous person.
The elder left smoothly.
In the purification of materials, when the purity exceeds 99%, the cost may double every time it is improved.
Moreover, the price above is still the "onshore" price. Adding in customs duties, delivery, bidding, etc., it is too easy to add five or six spiritual stones to all the prices.
But what Zhang Hao wants to sell now is... 99.7% pure black iron ingots, each piece is one ton!
Everyone was a little stunned when they saw a full 60 tons of black iron being laid out. These black iron barriers were built into a 'wall' that was two meters high and more than seven meters long.
These dark irons have been finely polished, and now shine with a light cyan light under the light. The lights tonight are also specially modulated, with a little more blue that is not easy to detect. This kind of light will appear
It is exceptionally bright, but it also makes Xuantie show a more brilliant brilliance.
"Yes, this is Black Iron!" Zhang Hao looked at everyone's confused eyes and smiled lightly, "Seeing the Zhiyuan battleship, I believe everyone should have a clearer understanding of the smelting technology of the Qixia Kingdom.
.
These are black iron with a purity of... 99.7%. Specifically, it may reach about 99.75%.
High-purity black iron will bring exceptionally excellent performance. According to our repeated verification, the power of a spiritual weapon made of 99.7% black iron is more than 10% higher than that of one made of 99.6% black iron.
The difference of 10% is enough to make the difference between life and death!
Compared with the traditional forged black iron, the black iron we smelt with a new method has fewer impurities and fewer types of impurities. We have eliminated some corrosive components in the impurities, such as phosphorus, sulfur, etc., so these black irons are
Iron is more durable.
And compared with forged black iron, the texture of these black iron is more uniform, and there is no need to re-melt and adjust it later, and it can be used immediately.
Is the technology... it is kept secret for the time being. But everyone can test it at will."
99.7% black iron, so much! Everyone hesitated for a moment, and finally swarmed forward and began to use their own methods to identify. Compared with Qixia Country, these people in the East have more mature and efficient identification methods. In no time, they issued a warning.
Stop marveling.
As Zhang Hao said, the black iron in the Qixia Kingdom has a uniform texture, and some corrosive impurities in the black iron can hardly be identified.
Especially the uniform texture is the most precious.
In the past, if you wanted to refine a magic weapon, especially a complete set of magic weapons, the purchased black iron needed to be melted again and stirred evenly before use. Otherwise, if the texture of the complete set of magic weapons was uneven, it would cause many minor problems. At critical times
, these small problems may be fatal.
But now there is no need to consider the problem of uneven texture of these dark irons. Sixty tons of dark iron are all the same, with only subtle and negligible differences!
Even the shopkeeper Feng Liye of Qixing Trading Company was surprised to find that the purity of the black iron he identified was as high as 99.76%!
After a while, everyone gradually returned to their seats. They all looked at Zhang Hao without saying anything and wondered how much these black irons cost. Such black iron, if the price is right, they are ready to buy it in bulk.
As an ultra-long-distance ocean trade, their round trip time may take a year or even longer, which requires them to purchase items of sufficient value and as small as possible.
The current Xuantie allows them to see such potential. 99.7% Xuantie is extremely rare even in Kunlun Continent. It is no pressure to sell three to five hundred high-grade spiritual stones per pound.
The only question now is: how much is the price! Looking at the giant steel ship, the smelting technology of Qixia Country should be very mature, and the cost should not be high. But everyone is a businessman, and of course we understand the relationship between cost and selling price.
Not big, especially for high-end products.
Zhang Hao saw everyone's expressions in his eyes and smiled lightly: "What do you think of these black irons?"
Everyone was silent and looked at Zhang Hao with their eyes. Over the past half day, everyone had a completely different understanding of this young man who seemed to be at the peak of his foundation building stage.
Disciple of the Holy Land, Deputy Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Qixia, President of Dayang Group...a series of names that are really blinding.
This is a standard little fox! So he won’t speak if he can.
Zhang Hao paused for a moment and continued: "The fixed price is: 80 high-grade spiritual stones per pound. You can get as much as you want!"
"How much do you want?" Everyone was shocked by Zhang Hao's tone, and then they were attracted by the price of 80 high-grade spiritual stones.
Calculated based on the price of black iron from the East, their 99.5% purity black iron reaches 75 high-grade spiritual stones. Adding tariffs and other factors, it is well over 80. So Zhang Hao's quotation is really low.
In fact, considering transportation costs, long-term development, etc., Zhang Hao set the price at 80 high-grade spiritual stones.
And if merchants from the East use elixirs to trade, their cost price is estimated to be reduced even more, or even half!
Everyone discussed for a while but then they all raised questions: In the past, high-purity black iron was of course very valuable, but if it appeared in large quantities, it would inevitably depreciate. We are all in business, Master Zhang, please give us a real price.
Of course, Zhang Hao also argued with reason. The world is so big and there are so many practitioners. How much black iron can the Qixia Kingdom produce? The supply is still in short supply.
Everyone was at odds with each other and refused to give in. After intense discussions, the price of black iron was finally stabilized at 70 high-grade spiritual stones.
Zhang Hao wiped his hands with cold sweat. It was not easy to reason with so many people.
But it doesn’t matter. Anyway, except for 99.9% of the Zhang family’s high-purity dark iron, which needs to be refined separately, the rest cost and price are similar, just a few low-grade spiritual stones. As Feng Zhiling said, in order to smelt the low-purity
For 99.7% black iron, the Zhang family also deliberately added impurities to the molten iron. What a traitorous businessman.
And as the Zhang family becomes more and more proficient in utilizing oil, this cost is still falling off a cliff.
Finally, the negotiation was over. Feng Yeli, the shopkeeper of Seven Star Trading Company, came to the meeting and brought a lot of good wine and a lot of spiritual fruits from his ship. Everyone celebrated on the deck of the Zhiyuan battleship.
By the way, everyone also experienced an artillery piece.
The next day, everyone started discussing a new topic: whether the artillery and steel could be sold.
Needless to say, this was another heated discussion.
Steel is available on the ship. The price is more than three times that of the same black iron. Without bargaining, this is a truly exclusive product. For example, for 99.7% pure steel, the price is directly 250 high-grade spiritual stones per pound. Do you want it?
But even so, everyone still started to grab it like crazy.
Until the evening of this day, more than 60 boxes of medicinal materials and spiritual materials belonging to the royal family, as well as black iron ingots and steel ingots belonging to the Ocean Group, transported on the battleship Zhiyuan, a total of almost 500 tons of materials, were sold. In exchange,
It is more than 600 tons of elixirs.
Most of these elixirs are common elixirs; there are only a few precious and special elixirs. For example, the elixir for saving lives, the 'Elixir of Life and Creation' that can regenerate limbs and repair hidden internal injuries, etc.
These elixirs are rare even in the East and are very expensive. A ton of dark iron can be exchanged for a dozen of them. But such elixirs are also life-saving medicines that must be stored. The more the better. If the Zhang family wants to develop in the future, this will be indispensable.
of elixir reserves.
In addition, there is the 'Huaying Dan' that must be used at the peak of the Golden Elixir Stage. This kind of elixir is said to be a regular pill, but it is very expensive. In the Nascent Soul Stage, it is the main pillar of a country. Therefore, Huaying Dan is the main pillar of a country.
Yingdan is also a relatively special elixir and is expensive.
After another transaction, more than 70 business representatives from the East were dissatisfied that they still had a lot of goods. After seeing the Zhang family's black iron and steel, their vision improved a lot and they didn't want to
Then cooperate with Langya Kingdom and others.
They want more.
No, Leng Qingsong, the young master of Qixing Trading Company, said: "Zhang Hao, are you going to return home?"
Zhang Hao nodded, all the cargo had been emptied and it was time to return.
Leng Qingsong asked, "Look, can we follow the boat and go to the Kingdom of Qixia?"
In an instant, many eyes stared at Zhang Hao.
Facing everyone's gaze, Zhang Hao smiled: "Welcome, very welcome! But now if we want to cross the Green Sea of Death, that is, the open sea, only our Zhiyuan battleship can do it.
Therefore, if you want to go to the Kingdom of Qixia, you can only go with our ship for the time being.
You have so many goods..."
Leng Qingsong was overjoyed: "Haha, it doesn't matter. Our ship can be parked on the sea and handed over to the relevant deacon to be responsible for the transaction."
Zhang Hao smiled: "Then, on behalf of the Country of Qixia, I welcome you all to go. I'll quietly tell you some good news. The Country of Qixia has just completed its transformation, and we take the development of industry and commerce as our national policy!"
