In Fang City, the basic construction of Zhangjia’s new store has been completed. It should now be called ‘Zhangfu’.
It covers an area of more than 200 meters. In this city where every inch of land is a must, luxury can no longer be described. From a distance, you can see several red towers rising from the ground, with busy craftsmen on them doing the final work.
furnish.
But what caught Zhang Hao's attention even more was that the street at the door was overcrowded again.
But this time, a passage was left at the main entrance of the Zhang family, one foot wide, enough to pass a carriage.
Zhang Hao walked along the passage to the door and saw a flattering smile.
"What's going on?" Zhang Hao asked the guard at the door.
"You don't want us to give you a good price!" the guard curled his lips, "The master said he was willing to settle with 95% pure black iron, and then everyone came."
Zhang Haoru nodded thoughtfully.
The Zhang family themselves also verified the previously disclosed water forging technique and obtained two results:
If Zhangjiaxin's black iron is forged as raw material, high purity black iron can be obtained, such as more than 96%.
If crude iron is used as the raw material for forging, it is difficult to achieve a purity of 94%. Moreover, a large amount of spiritual stones must be used to generate flames, and high-grade spiritual springs must be used. Forging takes longer, requires more craftsmen, and the cost is very high.
.
For this reason, impurities are deliberately added to the black iron sold by the Zhang family; these impurities, which come from inferior broken spirit stones, have been integrated with the black iron and are difficult to purify.
Therefore, although the Zhang family's water forging technique has spread, there are still not many black irons with a purity of more than 90% on the market, and the price has not changed much.
As for black iron with a purity exceeding 93% or even 94%, the supply still exceeds demand and the price is artificially high.
Now that the Zhang family is willing to settle with 95% pure black iron, everyone is immediately excited.
This is much more "valuable" than spiritual stones.
In the Country of Qixia, in Ninghe County, 95% pure black iron costs at least 60 medium-grade spiritual stones per kilogram; outside Ninghe County, the price can rise by more than 10%; if you leave the Country of Qixia, the price may rise
Double!
If there is a large amount of high-purity dark iron sold at auction, it can only be higher.
For some commodities, the greater the quantity, the higher the unit price! Because they are in short supply and because they are important, they should be stocked up!
In other words, as long as you have high-purity black iron in your hands, you can get at least 100% profit when you resell it; what's more, the Zhang family also promised that the price of black iron will be calculated at 20% off the market price, and it will be the lowest market price.
So, everyone is a little excited.
Even some families and firms that can barely survive want to sell their black iron smelting part. Once it is sold, they will get 'at least' 100% profit!
The gross profit of Xuantie smelting is about 10%, and the net profit is even halved.
Now, as long as the family's black iron smelting part is sold, at least 100% of the profits can be obtained immediately. A rough estimate is that at least the profits for the next ten years.
With all this wealth, there is nothing you can’t do!
After thinking about this, Zhang Hao shook his head helplessly. He suddenly didn't know how to evaluate it.
Originally, Zhang Hao wanted to form a Black Iron Alliance with these small and medium-sized families, so that everyone could control Black Iron together.
As long as the Black Iron Alliance is established and you don't want to commit suicide, wealth or anything else won't be a problem.
However, due to some strange combination of circumstances, these guys actually want to sell the Black Iron Department!
Zhang Hao suddenly felt a little unmotivated. Master, I finally found out with my conscience, why didn’t you give me a chance to show off!
When they arrived at the main room, they saw Zhang Han, Dugu Junjie and others nervously on guard, with no visitors at all.
Zhang Han said directly: "Little brother, keep your voice down. Dad has just taken an Infant Transformation Pill, and it will take at least a moment to absorb the pill."
Zhang Hao nodded, then came to the door and said to the many 'prodigal sons' who came to "sell their property":
"Uncles, Zhang Hao is very polite. Thank you for your trust in the Zhang family."
"Master Zhang, how long do we have to wait!" Someone was impatient.
Today is already the second day, and no family has closed a deal yet, so everyone is a little anxious.
"Please be quiet," Zhang Hao shouted, "wait at most half an hour before we start the acquisition. The details are as follows."
Everyone fell silent instantly.
Only Zhang Hao's voice was floating.
"What the Zhang family wants to acquire is a complete black iron smelting branch.
Including mines, smelting bases, craftsmen and their families, sales channels, raw material procurement channels, etc.
If you just want to sell part of it, the Zhang family will not consider it for the time being."
When Zhang Hao finished speaking, there was an immediate exclamation. Many representatives quit immediately. Why didn't you tell us earlier? Also, isn't it fun to tease us?
Zhang Hao smiled and said nothing. This is a buyer's market, and I will make the rules!
Everyone was quarreling for a while, and gradually calmed down when Zhang Hao didn't speak. However, the smell of dissatisfaction was floating in the air.
Zhang Hao turned a blind eye. Since you were given a good opportunity but couldn't take it, and even played the trick of crying, making trouble, and hanging yourself, then let's just keep things official.
Time passed quietly, and Zhang Shengde finally came out of confinement.
Zhang Shengde looked unchanged, but a heavy pressure spread from his body.
This kind of breath reminded Zhang Hao of the princess's breath when she was collecting donations. Is this the breath of Nascent Soul?
"The golden elixir is at its peak. If you consolidate it, you may be able to reach the Nascent Soul stage. You are doing well." Zhang Shengde sent a message to Zhang Hao and patted Zhang Hao's shoulder lightly with his palm.
The door slowly opened and everyone poured into the courtyard.
Zhang Shengde now has the confidence and has accepted the suggestion mentioned by Zhang Hao just now. We will not acquire it piecemeal. What we want to acquire is a complete black iron smelting base, including craftsmen and their families.
Unless the Zhang family still has the ability after the acquisition, they will consider other options.
Many people are dissatisfied, but it is useless; because the initiative is not in their hands.
Finally, some people started to relent and came over to discuss it.
Zhang Shengde promised on the spot that the settlement would be entirely made of black iron with a purity of 95%.
The first family quickly reported their own situation and swore to the heavens that it was absolutely true.
Zhang Shengde promised a full 10 tons of 95% black iron on the spot. Even here in Ninghe County, the market value is as high as 1.2 million medium-grade spiritual stones. This price is far higher than the other party's expectations.
The Zhang family will complete the payment within three days; and within these three days, the Zhang family will also send someone to receive and verify it.
With the first, there is the second.
The second promised to complete the payment within 7 days.
After a while, the Zhang family promised to deliver 80 tons of black iron with a purity of 95%. Then, the purchase was temporarily suspended.
"Why!" The person behind stopped.
Zhang Shengde shook his head slightly: "Everyone, the Zhang family can only produce two to three tons of 95% black iron every day. 80 tons is already a bit much.
Next month, after this batch of transactions is completed, we will continue to acquire."
The families and trading houses that had completed the transaction left excitedly. In this situation, if you grab it, you will make a profit. By next month, they will have exchanged the black iron in their hands for other products.
Besides, whether there will be another acquisition is a matter of debate. It is impossible for the Zhang family to make unlimited acquisitions.
The remaining people were not satisfied, but the door of the Zhang family slowly closed.
