Chapter 90 Wealth and prestige! Serial poisonous scheme
…
The Black Iron Market in Fairy City is going crazy.
The dignified Xuanjiasi was exposed as a fraud, and actually teamed up with Dong Qian to engage in short selling, using false news to suppress the price of Xuantie ingots, and they even confiscated 100,000 sets of Xuantie ingots.
Countless aristocratic families and merchants who "sold" Xuan Iron ingots at low prices cursed Xuanjia Division, especially Zhao Xiqing, the director of Xuanjia Division, and King Zhennan, the head of the Immortal Weapon Department, who were secretly stabbed in the back by countless people. .
If scolding could kill someone, Zhao Xiqing and King Zhennan would have died countless times.
Under this trend, the price of black iron ingots, which was already at a high level, skyrocketed again, and soon exceeded one thousand one, one thousand two, and went straight to one thousand three.
And at the same time.
In the head office of Wei's Commercial Bank in Xiancheng, a group of Wei's core members are having a meeting.
A certain great elder flipped through the account books with a confused look on his face: "Everyone, something seems to be wrong with the situation. It stands to reason that at this price, many small and medium-sized aristocratic families that still have inventory will be 'reluctant to sell' and will not sell easily. How come they do it from time to time? Just a black iron ingot appeared on the market?"
"Perhaps... we have underestimated the inventory of black iron ingots in the hands of small and medium-sized aristocratic families due to the long-term rise in black iron ingots in recent years?" Another elder analyzed and said, "Since yesterday, there has been no more black iron ingots on the market. The new black iron ingots are here, they should be almost squeezed out."
"Don't worry, everyone, the Xuanjia Division of the Immortal Weapon Department can't hold it anymore." Wei Mingyu said nonchalantly, "Just this morning, His Highness the King of Zhennan has sent a message, saying that he wants to have a good talk with our Wei family. "
"Mingyu, how many black iron ingots do we have in our accounts now?" Patriarch Wei Deming frowned, with a vague premonition in his heart.
"It should be four to five million, right?" Wei Mingyu said, "I have been directing the hype and acquisition war these days, and I didn't pay attention to the total number."
A certain great elder immediately opened the account book and quickly counted it. Then his face changed slightly: "We have a total of more than 610,000 black iron ingots in stock!"
"So much? It's far more than the Xuanjia Division needs." Wei Mingyu was startled, but he quickly calmed down and said, "Don't panic. Most of the Xuanjia inventory in the entire Immortal Dynasty should be there now. We have it in our hands."
"As long as we, the Wei family and the Han family, join forces and do not dig up black iron ore, they will not be able to dig out so much output even if we give them hundreds of years. With such a monopoly of supply and demand, don't we have the final say on the price of black iron ingots? "
"What's more, Xuanjiasi currently only has more than 100,000 Xuantie ingots in his hands, and the shortfall is only 200,000. Let's package and sell 400,000 sets at a time, and we won't sell any less, even if Xuanjiasi doesn't You can only buy it if you are willing. No matter what, we have made a lot of money this time."
Following Wei Mingyu's explanation, the elders were convinced, and their expressions all became happy.
The Wei family has made so much Immortal Crystal this time, each family can strive to cultivate a few more great geniuses.
In the next few years, Wei's will probably usher in a huge, leap-forward development.
It was also at this time.
The goalkeeper came to report: "Ancestor Deming, King Zhennan has come to pay his respects."
Wei Deming perked up and said with a hearty smile: "Mingyu, you are just as expected. This time, let's go together to greet His Highness the King of Zhennan."
In the square outside the main gate of the Wei family, the luxurious flying chariot belonging to the King of Zhennan has stopped.
It wasn't until people from the Wei family came forward to greet him that the King of Zhennan, who was dressed in royal robes and looked majestic, slowly got off the flying chariot.
Following closely behind was Zhao Xiqing, the director of Xuanjia Division.
She was still wearing the light blue dress, with a calm expression and extraordinary bearing. Even when she was standing next to King Zhennan in the Lingxu realm, she did not look too weak.
Although there are indispensable overt and covert fights between aristocratic families, a set of pretentious etiquette is still indispensable.
Soon, Patriarch Wei Deming, Wei Mingyu and other core figures of the Wei family enthusiastically welcomed the two of them into the VIP hall of the Wei family's head office.
After some polite greetings, everyone divided the guests and hosts into seats according to their status, and those who should stand stood. Then they were treated to some spiritual tea and spiritual fruits.
After several cups of tea.
The topic just started to get into the topic.
"Your Highness came to Wei's Trading Company this time for the Black Iron Ingot, right?" Wei Deming respectfully handed over his hands and said, "But Ming Yu of our Wei's is responsible for this matter, so let's let Ming Yu talk about it.
.”
"Excuse me." King Zhennan drank tea calmly, as if his happiness and anger could not be seen.
"Ancestor, His Highness the King of Zhennan." Wei Mingyu completed the junior ceremony and talked confidently, "We, the Wei family, have indeed accumulated some black iron ingots over the past hundreds of years, but it is also because of this.
We have always had a hard time living. Alas, there are too many people in our family, and the annual expenditure on fairy crystals is a bottomless pit. We are so poor that we often have to pay off debts to live."
King Zhennan didn't take it seriously, and even extended his hand to Wei Mingyu to ask him to continue, as if to say, "Please continue your performance."
This was a trick he learned from Wang Fugui, and he felt it was particularly refreshing to use it at this time.
"His Highness also said before that this black iron ingot will be used to make 300,000 black armors, and it will also be used to support the human race's battlefields outside the territory." Wei Mingyu said with a righteous look, "We, the Wei family, are immortals
As a member of the Immortal Dynasty, we should make due contributions to the Immortal Dynasty. Therefore, we decided to supply the Xuanjia Division with the amount of Xuan Iron ingots for 400,000 sets of Xuanjia at a loss, at a price of one hundred immortal crystals lower than the market price."
Nowadays, the market price of black iron ingots has skyrocketed to 1,350 immortal crystals. However, there is only a price but no market, and the trading volume is very small.
"One thousand, two hundred and fifty immortal crystals? A total of 500 million immortal crystals?" King Zhennan squinted and said, "The price is not expensive. Aren't you going to lose a full 40 million immortal crystals?"
"That's right, that's what our Wei family should do." Wei Mingyu was overjoyed, "I know His Highness is in urgent need of it, and we can sign the contract today. The current market conditions will rise even if we can't keep it all."
"Haha, I never said that I wanted to buy black iron ingots." King Zhennan glanced at him and said with a smile.
"This?" Wei Mingyu's eyes suddenly twitched, and a bad premonition arose spontaneously, "Then, Your Highness, are you here this time?"
"Oh, I almost forgot to mention it." King Zhennan slapped his forehead and said suddenly as if he had just remembered, "I have been busy lately. Look at my memory. Xiqing, take out the things and give them to Mingyu and Deming. The ancestor has passed by."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Zhao Xiqing bowed in response, then touched the ring with her slender hand, and a new set of Wang's ninth-generation modular battle armor appeared in her hand, and she handed it to Patriarch Wei Deming respectfully.
Wei Deming and Wei Mingyu both looked confused.
What's going on? Why did King Zhennan give them a suit of armor?
"Ahem, the situation is like this." King Zhennan pretended to cough twice, "Since there are fewer and fewer black iron ingots on the market in recent years, resources are becoming increasingly depleted, so our Immortal Weapon Department entrusted the Donggan Kingdom to A new type of armor has been developed. The black iron ingots of this new type of armor are only 30% of the old version of Xuan Armor, but the overall performance is even better than that of Xuan Armor."
After the words fell, the faces of everyone in the Wei family gradually became stiff and ugly, especially Wei Mingyu, whose body began to tremble, and there was disbelief in his eyes.
The more he saw them acting like this, the stronger the feeling of joy in King Zhennan's heart became.
Originally, he didn't need to come in person to do this, but he decided to go there in person. Didn't he just want to see the ruined faces of Wei's bunch of bastards?
"What, Your Highness, does this mean?" Wei Deming's heart was pounding and he asked in a low voice.
"That's it. Your Wei's Trading Firm is one of the major trading firms in the Immortal Dynasty, and its business is spread all over the states of the Immortal Dynasty." King Zhennan said seriously, "We have a lot of new armors, and we will have to rely on various trading firms to do so. Promote it across the state, and some clan soldiers within the aristocratic families also need it."
"Your Highness." Wei Mingyu's face turned pale, his whole body was shaking, and his heart felt like it was falling into an ice cave. "You, you don't want your black iron ingot?"
"We have enough black iron ingots, why do we need to collect more? Although everyone is responsible for saving black iron resources, we can start from our Immortal Weapon Department." King Zhennan stood up and patted Wei Mingyu on the shoulder with a smile, "Mingyu My dear nephew, where are your black iron ingots? Just keep them and sell them slowly. Don’t be in a hurry. Don’t be in a hurry. I will take my leave now. Alas, I still have to make a few more trips to major merchant houses and aristocratic families to sell our products. New type of armor."
After saying that, King Zhennan left Wei's Trading Company without looking back, leaving everyone in the Wei family frozen in place with ugly expressions.
Soon, at the entrance of Wei's Trading Company, the luxurious flying chariot belonging to King Zhennan took to the sky again.
It was only then that King Zhennan finally burst out laughing heartily.
Cool!
His wife Xia Yang, the queen of Zhennan, has never felt so happy in her life.
The Wei family and Zonglianheng have been constantly raising the price of black iron ingots, which has made the King of Zhennan unhappy with them for two or three hundred years.
Today can be regarded as making him feel proud~
Zhao Xiqing watched as the corner of her mouth twitched. She endured it again and again, but finally couldn't help admonishing her: "Your Highness, please be more restrained."
"Restraint, I want to restrain myself." Zhennan Wang Shuang's bones were so soft that he continued to laugh, "But when I think of Wei's such a depressed face, I can't help but want to laugh. This battle It was really fun to play.”
"Speaking of which, it's all thanks to that boy Fugui." King Zhennan laughed, praised and lamented, "It's a pity that our Zhennan Prince's generation didn't have a princess, otherwise~~sigh~~"
Although there are many outstanding girls among the younger generation of the Zhennan Prince's Palace, they are far behind compared with Yu Mengyu. This makes Zhennan Prince's plan to snatch a son-in-law from the Northern Territory Palace aborted. .
"Your Highness, our family is indeed rich and outstanding, but in addition to wealth and wealth, the Dongqian Changning Wang family has countless outstanding children." Zhao Xiqing was moved in her heart and admonished, "According to the observations of my subordinates, in the future our Dongqian and Changning Wang families will both be Entering a stage of take-off. Since His Highness is determined, it is better to take advantage of them before they take off..."
Makes some sense.
King Zhennan's eyes lit up and he pondered: "After this, I can go to Donggan Kingdom in person to have a look."
If he really meets a good prospect, he will decide on the person first before saying anything.
While the two were talking, they flew to another trading house and continued to "promote" Wang's ninth-generation modular new armor.
Following the actions of King Zhennan, news of the new type of armor also exploded "in an instant" within the scope of Immortal City.
Only 30% of black iron can be used to create a battle armor with superior performance. What this means is not something that any family with brains can't figure out.
Soon, the major commercial houses and the aristocratic families that had obtained the new armor were conducting all-round tests on the new armor in private.
The test results found that although the overall cost of this new type of armor is high, if the production volume explodes, it can indeed significantly reduce costs, especially its significant reduction in the consumption of black iron ingots, which also greatly reduces the Xuanjia Division's ability to use black iron ingots. Dependence on iron ingots.
And this also means that from now on, black iron ingots will no longer have to worry about being sold as long as they are dug out.
In addition, secretly, another "conclusive news" began to circulate in the fairy city. According to an insider, the Wei family in Jingan has more than 600,000 units of black iron ingots!
It far exceeds Xuanjiasi's demand!
The relationship between supply and demand has been completely reversed.
For a time, the aristocratic families who were still in a wait-and-see mode and kept the black iron ingots that they did not want to sell could no longer sit still. They began to sell the black iron ingots in their hands, hoping to sell them quickly while the price of the black iron ingots was still high, so as not to lose money. Smash it in your hand.
However, everyone wants to sell, but no one wants to buy. In order to promote transactions, major aristocratic families can only choose to lower prices.
The most direct result was that the price of black iron ingots, which had risen to the extreme, began to collapse in just half a day, and the price began to plummet. First, it plummeted from 1,300 immortal crystals to 600, but 600 could not support it at all.
, and quickly plummeted to four hundred, three hundred and five...
The Wei family was caught off guard and dumbfounded.
Before they had time to sell, the price of black iron ingots fell below the bottom line at lightning speed.
Six hundred thousand units account for most of the inventory in the Xian Dynasty market. Once sold, no one can tell how low the price will fall.
The senior executives of the Wei family were immediately furious and immediately "rushed back to the main residence in Jing'an Prefecture overnight" to hold a high-level family meeting.
【Zhenyanju】.
Wei Dongyu, the first ancestor of the Wei family who had experienced countless ups and downs in his life, was greatly shocked when he learned what had happened.
Under the influence of old wounds and new worries, his face turned gray and miserable: "Mingyu, how much did our Wei family spend this time?"
Wei Mingyu's face was also pale, and he took the account book and reported the accounts to the head of the family, Wei Wentao, and the elders: "Our Wei family originally had 250,000 units of black iron ingots in stock, and later purchased 150,000 units from the Helan Han family, totaling 1.7 billion
Immortal Crystal. In this acquisition war, we successively acquired another 210,000 units at a cost of 220 million Immortal Crystal."
"Now we have a total of 610,000 units of black iron ingots in hand. A total of 390 million immortal crystals have been invested in this campaign, of which 50 million are the working capital of the Wei family, and the remaining 350 million are all
It was borrowed from various commercial banks and banks as mortgages."
Wei Dongyu's body swayed, and a mouthful of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.
Three hundred and ninety million~~ It’s not just gold coins, but three hundred and ninety million fairy crystals!
The most frightening thing is that the price of black iron ingots has now dropped to close to 300 immortal crystals. Even if all the stocks are sold, 1.8 or 1.9 billion immortal crystals can be recovered. This wave of blood loss
.
Furthermore, if such a huge inventory hits the market, prices are bound to plummet again.
Realizing this, the expressions on everyone's faces were extremely ugly.
At this time, even Wei Qingyun didn't have time to blame Wei Mingyu. He looked anxious and said: "Elders, this time our Wei family has obviously fallen into a trap. This 600,000 inventory must not be sold. As long as it is kept in your hands,
When this turmoil passes and everything calms down, the price of black iron ingots will probably rise a bit, and we can spend hundreds of years gradually selling it out."
"Yes, although the new armor jointly developed by Xuanjia Division and Donggan saves black iron, it does not use black iron." Wei Deming also nodded, "As long as our Wei family and the Helan Han family join forces, we can seal the existing
The price of black iron ore veins will eventually rise gradually."
Having said that, everyone in the Wei family knows that the era of huge profits from black iron ingots has ended. Now this plan is to turn Wei's blood loss into a normal loss.
The Wei family has a big business and is confident that it can handle it.
"That being the case." Patriarch Wei Dongyu said in a deep voice, "Then we will deal with the aftermath on a case-by-case basis. Deming and I from Lingxujing will try our best to talk to various banks and merchants to delay the repayment deadline. Continue.
In the next few hundred years, our Wei family will enter a stage of 'frugaling food and clothing'."
The Wei family has been inherited for more than 10,000 years. Naturally, it is impossible to always have smooth sailing. Riding the wind and waves when things are booming, and retreating to defend when they are defeated are the usual measures of major families. Moreover, the Wei family has a rich heritage. As long as they keep a low profile this time, it will last for hundreds of years.
Then there was another good man.
It's a pity that Wei thought things were too simple.
Before their strategy could be implemented, something unexpected happened again.
An old man's roar could be heard in the sky above the main residence of the Wei family: "Wei Dongyu, why are you pretending to be such a coward? Why don't you come out and see Ben Zhenjun as soon as possible!"
The old man's voice echoed in the sky like a thunderclap, causing the protective formation of the Wei family's main residence to buzz.
The face of True Lord Liehuo Wei Dongyu suddenly changed: "It's True Lord Enlightenment of Immortal Palace! He actually came in person!"
The True Monarch of Enlightenment is so respected in the Immortal Dynasty that even the Immortal Lord and the Immortal Emperor have to address him as "Senior". Wei Dongyu would not dare to neglect such a being.
Immediately, regardless of his injuries, he soared into the air and arrived above the main house. He saluted the True Monarch of Wu Dao and said cheerfully and politely: "Dong Yu pays homage to Senior Wu Dao. Senior, I, the Wei family, am here, but I am sorry for the delay in greeting you from afar. I hope you will forgive me."
Forgive me for my sin.”
At the door of the main residence of the Wei family, the True Monarch of Enlightenment was standing in the sky, with his gray hair tied casually on his head by a branch, and his green robes swaying in the wind, like a legendary immortal, reclusive and independent.
Compared to Wei Dongyu who was opposite him, who was only 3,000 years old, he looked much younger.
People who don't know may think that Wei Dongyu is the elder.
However, the attitude of this "immortal" is not good.
"Excuse me for what?" True Lord Enlightenment sneered and said angrily, "I'm here to demand compensation for the Tree of Luck, a total of 50 million immortal crystals. Give it to me and leave the tree immediately."
Compensation payments?
Wei Dongyu's heart skipped a beat and he hurriedly showed a flattering smile and said: "Senior Wu Dao, our Wei family is in a big crisis and we cannot raise 50 million immortal crystals at once. Why don't you give us some time..."
Before he could finish his words, a voice from a distance came and interrupted him: "Senior, don't believe him. The Wei family has just spent hundreds of millions of immortal crystals to purchase black iron ore, how can it be possible that they have no money?
"
Before he finished speaking, space ripples appeared in the sky.
Immediately afterwards, Zhennan Wang Concubine Xia Yang tore apart the space and appeared majestically in front of one person and one tree.
"King Zhennan!" Old Wei Dongyu twitched his face and said angrily, "You should know what's going on with our Wei family, right? How can you, a hereditary and irreplaceable king, do such a despicable thing to add insult to injury?
"
"Despicable thing?" King Zhennan laughed and said, "Old Wei, you really dare to label me. You, the Wei family, are allowed to hoard and control the prices of strategic materials, but you are not allowed to add insult to injury? How can this happen in the world?
The truth?"
"Yes, I am here to fan the flames." King Zhennan admitted his purpose graciously, and turned to the Wudao tea tree and said, "Senior Wudao, the Wei family is used to being a local emperor, why don't you give it a try?
If they show their strength, they will definitely delay and act rogue again and again. The nights are long and the dreams are many, senior."
"What King Zhennan said is absolutely true."
The True Monarch of Enlightenment glanced at Wei Dongyu and simply ignored him. Instead, he took a look at a top-quality spiritual field inside the Wei family's main residence and plunged into it.
On the way down, his body underwent a transformation, transforming into its true form in the green light.
It was a majestic giant tree that exuded majesty. Its huge crown blocked the sky and cast a huge shadow on the ground.
Accompanied by the "rumbling" sound of the earth's veins vibrating, his thick roots thrust forcefully into the depths of the top-grade spiritual field, causing the inside of the spiritual field to turn upside down. He began to absorb the spiritual energy from the top-grade spiritual veins with "big mouthfuls".
As a twelfth-level quasi-immortal tree, the Enlightenment Tea Tree can guard the center of the Immortal Palace. How huge is its spiritual energy throughput?
As he swallowed with all his strength, the spiritual energy in his spiritual veins began to disappear crazily at a terrifying speed, but in the blink of an eye, the concentration of spiritual energy in the air began to weaken at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The Wei family suddenly panicked, as if they were in a big disaster.
Seeing that some great elders were about to rush into the depths of the main house, intending to activate the mountain-protecting formation to fight against the Wudao Tea Tree, Wei Dongyu hurriedly scolded: "Stop it! Don't hurt Senior Wudao."
The status of Wu Dao Chashu is too high. If he is injured, it will be a big trouble. Failure to protect it will attract the Immortal Emperor and other big bosses to win for him, and the gain will not be worth the loss.
"Oh, Senior Enlightenment~" King Zhennan felt happy, and fanned the flames again, "You are still too conservative. I suggest you just expose the Wei family's treasury, take the compensation and leave. Anyway, it makes sense.
On your side, no one can fault you even if you bring it to the Immortal Emperor."
Anyway, the relationship between him and the Wei family has been torn apart. If he doesn't add insult to injury now, then when? As for whether he will be resented by the Wei family in the future, he doesn't care at all.
Wei Dongyu was so angry that King Zhennan was not angry to death.
If the Enlightenment Tea Tree really entered the treasure house and took advantage of the chaos, how much would the Wei family lose?
"Xia Yang's proposal is good." Zhenjun Wu Dao shook the huge crown of the tree and said with a roar, "Since the Wei family is unwilling to compensate, Zhenjun Benzhenjun will take it personally."
"Senior, we are wrong." Wei Dongyu hurriedly stopped, "Ten days. Give this junior ten days, and the compensation of 50 million immortal crystals will be paid in full. Senior, please quickly accept the magical power."
"Okay, I will wait for you in the Wei family for ten days. I will leave immediately after receiving the compensation." Zhenjun Enlightenment continued to dig his roots deeper and tightly wrapped the top-grade spiritual veins while absorbing the essence from the spiritual veins.
Ling Qi said, "In these ten days, Ben Zhenjun will not go anywhere."
Wei Dongyu had no choice but to grit his teeth and say, "Senior, please help yourself. I will pay compensation as soon as possible."
But as soon as he finished speaking.
In the sky, there were several more figures tearing apart the space and arriving.
As soon as the person arrived, a series of old or loud voices sounded one after another, echoing in the sky.
"Princess Liehuo, you better pay back the funds raised by your Wei family as soon as possible."
All in all, in one sentence, pay back the money!
"puff!"
Wei Dongyu's face turned deathly pale, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
He has lived for more than three thousand years and has never experienced anything. How can he not see the problem when he sees this situation?
Although the Wei family did borrow a lot of money from other aristocratic families or banks, how could it be such a coincidence that all the creditors came together at this juncture?
This was obviously premeditated!
But when King Zhennan saw this, he felt gloating about his misfortune.
I made you disgusted with me and made you not take my Immortal Weapon Department seriously before. Now you are being punished, right?
Wei Dongyu, Wei Dongyu, you are not easy to mess with, so why did you mess with Wang Fugui?
On the surface, that young man from Fugui appears to have a bright and beautiful appearance, but in fact, he is rotten and rotten in his bones. How can those vicious schemes one after another be so easy to break?
