Chapter 50: Shouzhe’s clever plan to help the goddess
…
"Elder Baohu, are you going to do this business or not?" Goddess Xinglan waited for a moment, and saw that Elder Baohu still looked dumbfounded, and her eyes became impatient, "If you can't make the decision, I will
Go find someone else."
"Do!"
“Do it, do it!!”
Elder Baohu suddenly came to his senses and nodded frantically, fearing that he would miss out on such a huge deal.
However, he still had some doubts in his heart and couldn't help but confirm to her again: "Your Highness the Goddess is really sure that twenty-three ninth-grade spiritual veins are mortgaged for 6,900 Chaos Spiritual Stones?"
There are rules for interest on mortgage loans like this, so there is no need to emphasize it. However, it was the first time that he had encountered such a mortgage of so many ninth-grade spiritual veins at one time in his tens of thousands of years.
Has this girl really thought it through?
Don't regret later that you don't want to mortgage.
"I'm sure." Goddess Xinglan looked firm, "I have a big plan to implement, and I need a lot of money."
When she mentioned this matter, a flash of passion flashed in her bright starry eyes, and her expression was as if she was possessed by an evil spirit and she was so excited that she couldn't control herself.
"Okay! Since Her Majesty the Goddess has made up her mind, I will naturally accompany her to the end."
Elder Baohu also became excited.
It sounds like Goddess Xinglan is very ambitious~
However, the greater the ambition, the more excited he, Elder Baohu, becomes.
If she succeeds, the interest generated during the loan process of 6,900 Chaos Spiritual Stones will be a huge profit.
If she fails, she can make a lot of money by just selling the ninth-grade spiritual vein as collateral.
In this case, the Divine Treasure Palace will definitely win.
And with this achievement, he, Elder Baohu, will not only gain a lot of performance, but his status in the Divine Treasure Palace will also rise.
The only small problem is that the amount of this loan is a bit huge, far beyond his authority.
But so what?
There are always more ways than difficulties. If there is really no other way, it is not impossible to break the rules.
With such a big deal that guarantees a profit and no loss, even if there are any irregularities in his operation, the chief palace master will probably turn a blind eye or close one eye.
"Does Her Majesty the Goddess have a seal?" Elder Baohu became more and more excited as he thought about it. "If it is possible, we can sign the loan contract on the spot."
He is afraid of two things now.
Afraid of the sudden arrival of Taoist Master Chenguang, he risked his life to stop the Xinglan Goddess.
Second, I'm afraid that Goddess Xinglan will suddenly wake up and not be prepared to spend money.
Therefore, in order to avoid long nights and endless dreams, we have to strike while the iron is hot and quickly sign the contract to implement Goddess Xinglan's prodigal act.
"Sign!" Goddess Xinglan took out the "Wuji Divine Seal" and slapped it on the table angrily.
Elder Baohu smiled.
He hurriedly took out the standard contract of the Divine Treasure Palace, modified it slightly according to the conditions of the Goddess Xinglan, and took the lead in stamping his mark and leaving the divine soul mark.
Of course, just in case, he strictly checked the land deeds of the twenty-three ninth-grade spiritual veins in advance, and there were no problems.
Without saying a word, Goddess Xinglan quickly stamped it with the Wuji Divine Seal, leaving the divine soul imprint.
The contract is reached!
Elder Baohu stretched out his hand and put away the twenty-three land deeds as fast as lightning, as if he was afraid that Goddess Xinglan would regret it.
After putting it away, he took out a stack of Chaos Spiritual Stone Tickets and handed them to Goddess Xinglan.
This is a spiritual stone ticket issued by the Divine Treasure Hall. Like the land deed, it is made of special paper and has a special anti-counterfeiting mark.
With this ticket, Xinglan Goddess can withdraw Chaos Spiritual Stones from any branch of the Divine Treasure Palace, or directly consume them with the Spiritual Stone Ticket.
"Congratulations to Your Highness the Goddess." After putting down his bags, Elder Baohu was in a good mood. He raised his hand to pick up the teacup on the table and gestured to the Goddess Xinglan, "I borrowed flowers to offer to the Buddha, and I would like to offer a cup of tea to Your Highness."
"Xinglan also congratulates Senior Baohu."
Seeing that the first step of the goal was achieved, Goddess Xinglan felt happy and high-spirited, and her eyes were full of hope for the future.
See the situation.
Elder Baohu's curiosity greatly increased, and he couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "I wonder what big plans Her Majesty the Goddess has? If it is convenient, can I tell the old man everything in private? Let me also have a chance to ride on the boat."
"Speaking of this matter, Xinglan has to ask the elders for a favor." Goddess Xinglan drank the spiritual tea with hopeful eyes.
"Your Highness, please tell me. If Baohu can help, I will definitely help." Elder Baohu's attitude was sincere and he seemed to be particularly easy to talk to.
In his heart at this moment, Goddess Xinglan is definitely the "Goddess of Wealth". He really hopes that she will continue to waste money, and it is best to mortgage her other belongings!
"I heard that the Divine Treasure Palace is not only rich in wealth and treasures, but also does a lot of business in the purchase and sale of bulk goods such as spiritual mineral raw materials, magic weapon equipment, spiritual food pills, etc." Goddess Xinglan said seriously, "I must want to sell it.
Guibao Palace will definitely collect some grains, right?"
"This is a trivial matter." Elder Baohu said with a smile, "As long as the price is reasonable and the quality is excellent, our Divine Treasure Palace can harvest as much food as we can."
"With the words of the elder, I feel relieved." Goddess Xinglan nodded, and then continued calmly, "I plan to sell all the third-grade and fourth-grade spiritual rice produced under the name of our Wuji Palace.
The Temple of Divine Treasures.”
Elder Baohu was stunned for a moment, but then he waved his hand and said with a smile: "As far as I know, the third-grade spiritual fields in Guishen Palace total 1.6 million hectares, and the fourth-grade spiritual fields are only about 140,000 hectares."
"In the past hundred years, the average annual income from your palace's third-grade spiritual field is less than 6 chaos spiritual stones, and the average annual income from the fourth-grade spiritual field is only a little more than 5 chaos spiritual stones. When the two are superimposed, the average annual income is less than 12 chaos spiritual stones.
.”
"This business is too small. If Her Majesty the Goddess wants to sell grain, you can just find a large rice store to sell it and you can eat it. There is no need to look for me."
An acquisition of such a small scale does not require him to personally come forward.
Hearing this, Goddess Xinglan looked at Elder Baohu with a complicated expression: "I didn't expect that Elder Baohu knows so much about the income and expenditure of our Wuji Palace, and he actually knows it better than I do."
After she took charge of the Wuji Shrine, she naturally carefully reviewed the various income and expenses of the shrine over the years. Now she compared it and found that it was almost the same as what Elder Baohu said...
Elder Baohu laughed indifferently: "Our Shenbao Palace is the creditor of Guishen Palace. Of course, I have to pay attention to the financial situation of Guishen Palace at all times. You know, the Palace currently owes us about 3,500 Chaos Spiritual Stones. Every hundred years
The yield reaches 210 Chaos Spiritual Stones!"
"No, we now owe us a total of 10,400 Chaos Spiritual Stones, and the interest rate every hundred years has reached more than 600 Chaos Spiritual Stones! Goddess Xinglan must not forget to give priority to the interest payments from my Divine Treasure Palace. This is clearly stipulated in the terms of the contract.
"
With such a large amount of funds, he naturally has to pay attention to Wuji Shrine's repayment ability at all times, so that he can collect the debt in time.
As for why the data is so accurate?
The Shenbao Palace has been able to stand in the fairy world as a business for so many years, but it has never relied on force value. This level of careful planning is a routine operation for the Shenbao Palace.
In fact, not only the Wuji Temple, but also the approximate financial flow of other temples, he also has an account in his mind, which he can use at any time when he needs it.
As for the money loaned by the Divine Treasure Palace to the Wuji Shrine, the annual yield has always been six ten thousandths.
If you look at the earth, 60,000 percent of the annual yield is simply given away.
But this is in the fairy world.
Xuanwu monks have a long life span, and hundreds and thousands of years can pass by in a blink of an eye. Such a level of fertility is already a very heavy burden for the Wuji Palace, which is strapped for funds.
Goddess Xinglan also looked at Wuji Palace's income and expenditure summary last year. The total annual income was 204 Chaos Spiritual Stones, but the total annual expenditure reached 203 Chaos Spiritual Stones.
After going in and out, there was only one Chaos Spiritual Stone left, which was the result of her master Chen Guang Taoist's exhaustive consideration.
In addition to the very huge personnel expenses, which amounted to about 151 Chaos Spiritual Stones.
The yield expenditure given to the Divine Treasure Palace has also reached more than 2 Chaos Spiritual Stones. In one hundred years, more than 200 Chaos Spiritual Stones will have to be spent. It is also a big expense, enough to support ten ordinary Taoist masters and elders.
Bah! Vampire!
Goddess Xinglan was fond of the Divine Treasure Palace in her heart, but she still smiled indifferently on the surface: "It's normal for Elder Baohu to look down on a business with less than 12 Chaos Spiritual Stones."
"However, I am planning to sell the products of the third-grade and fourth-grade spiritual fields of the Shrine for the next hundred years to Guibao Palace in advance at one time." Goddess Xinglan's tone was extremely calm, "How about I only accept 1,000 Chaos Spiritual Stones?"
"What?"
Elder Baohu was frightened, and his face trembled.
This girl Xinglan is just running wildly on the road to prodigal~
He looked at Goddess Xinglan as if she were looking at a fool: "Your Highness, as we all know, third-grade and fourth-grade spiritual rice are the spiritual rice with the greatest demand. Nowadays, there are wars with demons everywhere, and there is no need for spiritual rice.
The demand is getting stronger!”
"You don't know that the price of food has been rising every year in these years, right?"
"I know, but I'm betting that the price of food will fall." Goddess Xinglan said while drinking tea. "As long as the price of third-grade and fourth-grade spiritual rice drops by 20 to 30% in the next hundred years, I can make a lot of money."
"How is that possible?!" Elder Baohu scoffed, not believing it at all.
Shenbaodian has the most professional talents, always paying attention to market trends, and adjusting business strategies at any time.
According to research and analysis by experts from Shenbao Palace, food prices are expected to keep rising in the future, and will rise by at least 10% to 20% in the next hundred years!
If there is a high-intensity war with the demons, food prices may rise by 20% to 30%!
Taking a step back, even if there is no fluctuation in food prices for the next hundred years, he only needs to spend 1,000 Chaos Spirit Stones and lose the interest of 60 Chaos Spirit Stones for a hundred years, and the total expenditure is 1,060 Chaos Spirit Stones.
However, the income can reach at least nearly 1,200 Chaos Spiritual Stones, making a net profit of more than 100 Chaos Spiritual Stones.
This is more than a hundred Chaos Spiritual Stones!
You know, a ninth-grade spiritual vein mortgage loan can only loan more than 300 Chaos Spirit Stones. More than a hundred Chaos Spirit Stones, even for him, a Taoist in the Hunyuan Realm, is already a huge sum of money.
.
Elder Baohu's breathing became a little tight.
He looked at Goddess Xinglan with a bit of temptation and a bit of hope: "Your Highness is really bearish? Do you really want to do this?"
"What? Isn't Elder Baohu sure that food prices will rise? Do you dare to make a bet with me?" Goddess Xinglan's eyes flashed with excitement, even a little crazy.
On gambling!
Yes, this is a new vocabulary she learned from Mr. Shouzhe, and it is even a pattern she has never thought of.
"Betting? It's interesting. It sounds very interesting." Elder Baohu pondered for a moment, "Please tell me how to operate it in detail, Your Highness."
"It's very simple. Senior Baohu invested 1,000 Chaos Spiritual Stones to purchase a hundred years of output from our third-grade and fourth-grade spiritual fields."
"In order to avoid trouble, and because there are many people in the palace who need to eat food, we will not give you the food every year. Instead, we will directly convert it into Chaos Spiritual Stones according to the market price of food every year and give it to you for a full hundred years.
!”
Goddess Xinglan explained the rules clearly in a few words, and then continued to say with a smile: "During this period, if the price of food rises, seniors will earn more, and if it falls, they may lose some."
Elder Baohu's eyes shone brightly, and he clapped his hands and said: "What a gambling contract! The rules are clear and clear, and you are responsible for profits and losses! I made this deal."
The current upward trend in food prices is extremely clear, and there is no reason for it to fall.
In this bet, he has a 90% chance of winning. That's all I'm saying modestly.
Followed.
The old man and the young man, as if they were afraid that the other party would regret it, couldn't wait to sign the gambling contract.
This is also the second contract today.
Goddess Xinglan sold the output of the third-grade and fourth-grade spiritual fields for a hundred years, and also received 1,000 Chaos Spiritual Stone Tickets!
After this operation, the amount of funds in her hand suddenly expanded to 7,900 Chaos Spiritual Stones.
Just as the Divine Treasure Palace is not afraid of Wuji Shrine's cheating after signing the contract, Wuji Shrine is also not afraid of the Divine Treasure Palace's cheating~~~
But it's not over yet.
After Goddess Xinglan slowly put away the contract and the Chaos Spirit Stone tickets, she made another suggestion: "Elder Baohu, since we have all bet against each other, why don't we just play bigger?"
When Elder Baohu heard this, he immediately became energetic again, and the smile on his face became extraordinarily sincere: "How are you going to play big, Your Majesty the Goddess?"
"I plan to bet with Guibao Palace on the futures of '100 million warehouses of third-grade spiritual rice' and '10 million warehouses of fourth-grade spiritual rice'." Goddess Xinglan said with a calm expression.
"One hundred million warehouses? Third-grade spiritual rice?"
Elder Baohu immediately shook his head like a rattle: "Although our Shenbao Palace also does bulk grain trading, how can we have as many as 100 million warehouses on hand? The annual output of your Wuji Palace's third-grade spiritual field is only 200,000.
Warehouses! One hundred million warehouses is enough for your family’s production for five hundred years!”
"The output of third-grade spiritual rice in the entire Immortal Realm is far from 100 million warehouses. The output of fourth-grade spiritual rice is also far from 10 million warehouses!"
As an elder at the core level of the Divine Treasure Palace, he has this kind of data at his fingertips.
Goddess Xinglan obviously knew this, and she still drank the spiritual tea calmly and said in a very calm tone: "I told you it was a futures bet. According to the current market price, 100 million warehouses of third-grade spiritual rice are worth 3,000 chaos spiritual stones.
About 10 million warehouses of fourth-grade spiritual rice are worth about 4,000 Chaos Spiritual Stones. So, a total of 7,000 Chaos Spiritual Stones, right?"
"That's right." Elder Baohu nodded seriously.
"Then I pre-purchase 100 million warehouses of third-grade spiritual rice and ten million warehouses of fourth-grade spiritual rice at one time in advance. Guibao Palace will deliver 1% of my grain every year. Is it feasible to complete the delivery within a hundred years?" Goddess Xinglan said.
Elder Baohu shook his head slowly and said: "No, we expect that the food will increase. A hundred years later, the value of this food will far exceed 7,000 Chaos Spiritual Stones!"
"That's natural. In addition to paying a deposit in advance, I will pay an additional 20% of the current market price for the 1% of food delivered by Guibao Palace every year!" Goddess Xinglan said, "For example, if the food is delivered next year,
If it doesn’t rise or fall, the market price of the grain you delivered is 70 Chaos Spiritual Stones, and I will pay you 84 Chaos Spiritual Stones.”
"If the price of food rises to 80 Chaos Spirit Stones next year, I will pay you 96 Chaos Spirit Stones."
Elder Baohu suddenly stood up, his small black eyes widened instantly: "Your Highness, the Goddess, are you serious?"
If they really follow Goddess Xinglan's method of operation, their Divine Treasure Palace will be in a huge win! The more food prices rise, the more money they will make.
Can this deal be done? Of course it can be done!
If this kind of business cannot be done, is there any business in the world that can be done?
"Of course, it is also possible that food prices will fall." Goddess Xinglan said with a smile, "If food prices fall, they may continue to fall. Therefore, we will also have to reduce the 20% pre-drop fee. For example, next year's 100%
If one share drops to 50 Chaos Spirit Stones, we can only pay 40 Chaos Spirit Stones!"
As soon as this statement came out.
Elder Baohu's heart suddenly tightened slightly, and his brows frowned unconsciously: "So, if the food falls, not only do we have to deliver the food on time, but we also have to lose money?"
Speaking of this, he finally understood.
This so-called gambling agreement is betting on the rise and fall of food prices. If it rises, the Shenbao Palace will win, and if it falls, the Wuji Shrine will win~
"Giggle~ That's right." Goddess Xinglan did not hide it, and said with a sweet smile, "How can there be a business in this world that is sure to make a profit without losing any money? If Senior Baohu really wants to have one, please introduce it to me~ Besides,
Aren’t you optimistic about rising food prices?”
"You don't dare to gamble, do you?"
Will food prices fall?
Elder Baohu asked himself again and again.
But no matter which angle he thought about it, he only came to one conclusion, and that was - absolutely impossible!
Unless the demons withdraw from their existing territory and go back to their own lair, and the fairy world usher in overall peace, or they win a great victory on the battlefield and gain a lot of lost territory, the price of food is likely to rise due to the surge in production.
Fall!
Will the demons retreat? Of course not.
Can the Immortal Realm regain a large amount of territory at once? Maybe, but at least, not in the short term, especially within a mere hundred years!
It can be inferred from this that food prices may not rise sharply, but they are definitely not likely to plummet in the short term!
This deal!
Done!
Elder Baohu's eyes flashed, and his expression instantly became firm: "Sign the contract!"
"sign!"
Goddess Xinglan is also extremely happy.
In just one day, the two of them actually signed three contracts, and the contract with the least amount of money involved involved more than a thousand Chaos Spiritual Stones.
Not to mention the Wuji Palace, a notoriously "poor" power, even in the Divine Treasure Palace, big deals involving such huge sums of money are quite rare.
Goddess Xinglan achieved her goal, so she was naturally very happy.
And Elder Baohu was naturally very happy.
However, compared to the joyful look of Goddess Xinglan from the inside out, Elder Baohu only maintained a faint smile like Maitreya Buddha on the surface at this moment, but he had already begun to laugh crazily in his heart.
Although he has not yet figured out what Goddess Xinglan is planning to do, no matter what her intentions are, in his opinion, she is absolutely crazy~~
If he wasn't crazy, how could he get such a huge advantage?
＊＊＊＊＊＊
After visiting Elder Baohu, Xinglan Goddess was not idle. Elder Baohu was just the first stop. Next, she still had many tasks to complete.
That night.
Goddess Xinglan went to visit Ancestor Ji Yan and Son of God Mingzhe without stopping.
They, the ancestor and the son of God, did not live in the Wuji Temple, but temporarily lived in the Nanming Temple's annex in Xuantian City.
As a well-known veteran strength in the immortal world, the Nanming Temple has a very long history and a very rich foundation. Moreover, the Nanming Emperor of the generation of the Nanming Temple is also very powerful and frightens the heroes. Even the demon war zone he is responsible for, the demons are also
There's no bargain at all.
Correspondingly, Nanming Temple's backbone is naturally very strong and its financial resources are also very abundant.
Because of this, this villa located in Xuantian City was built in a particularly grand manner. The main building was made of luxurious materials and the style was luxurious and gorgeous, full of the flavor of "money".
Even the exotic flowers planted in the garden of the other courtyard are delicate species that require careful maintenance. Without enough financial resources, even daily maintenance is a problem.
As soon as Goddess Xinglan entered the door under the leadership of the guards at the door, she felt that she was being "showed off".
Normally, she might have been unhappy for a while because of this, but today, she felt calmer and calmer than ever before. These things that would have affected her mood in the past could no longer shake her mind.
Under the leadership of the guards, she rode the spirit beast chariot through the spacious driveway and passed the long bridge erected over the lake. She finally came to a small courtyard full of spiritual energy and beautiful environment.
The walls of the small courtyard are made of fiery red spiritual bricks, and the fire spiritual energy in the courtyard is extremely abundant. There is also a hot spring in the courtyard, the hot spring is gurgling, and the hot flame breath is gushing out.
"Haha, Xinglan came to visit and made our courtyard shine~"
In the pavilion next to the hot spring pool, Ancestor Jiyan and Mingzhe Goddess entertained Goddess Xinglan very warmly.
even.
In order to leave a good impression on Xinglan, Ancestor Ji Yan did not hesitate to take out the [Lihuo God Tea] collected from the eighteenth-level peak Lihuo God tree in the Nanming Temple.
The tea soup brewed by Lihuo Shen Tea is deep red in color, fragrant in aroma, slightly spicy in the mouth, with a slight smell of fire, and has a very unique taste.
Even if we don't consider the efficacy, just based on its color, aroma and taste, this Lihuo Shen tea is a rare treasure among teas.
Goddess Xinglan felt calmer than ever before, even though she had never been able to drink this precious divine tea.
Sitting on the main seat next to him, Ancestor Ji Yan was cheerful and enthusiastic. The accompanying Mingzhe Shenzi also worked hard to maintain the image of a handsome gentleman, with a sunny and enthusiastic smile on his face.
"Xinglan, I heard that you and Brother Chenguang are at odds?" Ancestor Jiyan said with a smile, "It's all my fault. I blame us for being too impatient, which caused a rift between your master and disciple..."
Instead, Goddess Xinglan looked at God Mingzhe, and said in deep thought: "Mr. Mingzhe, tell me the truth. If you and I really get married, will you support our Wuji Palace in regaining its lost territory?"
The Son of God Mingzhe was overjoyed and stood up hurriedly. He said with a serious and solemn expression: "I will tell you the truth. If I become the real Son of God, I can use some of my resources to assist you Xinglan. However, at this stage, I
I’m afraid I won’t be able to support your counterattack.”
"Only after I become the Immortal Emperor can I truly control the overall situation. Only then will I be qualified to assist your Wuji Palace in regaining its lost territory, but I cannot guarantee the outcome."
He did not boast or pat his chest randomly, because he knew that doing so would only make Goddess Xinglan laugh.
"You are very sincere. It's because I was prejudiced against you before." Seeing his attitude, Goddess Xinglan showed a little surprise in her eyes.
After a pause, she continued: "If you don't mind, I think we can try to make friends first and see if our personalities are compatible."
Son of God Mingzhe was overjoyed in his heart, but on the surface he still looked calm and composed. He bowed gracefully towards Goddess Xinglan and said with a smile in his voice: "Let Xinglan do whatever she wants."
"My grandfather and my grandson" were both relieved that it went so smoothly.
Originally, they wanted to catch Goddess Xinglan off guard while she was not at home, so that when she came back, everything would have become an established fact, and Xinglan would naturally be unable to object anymore.
But he never thought that Goddess Xinglan would suddenly come back and have a big fight with Taoist Master Chenguang.
They originally thought that this marriage would be ruined, but they didn't expect that not long after, Goddess Xinglan actually came to their door, looking like they were ready to try dating. How could they not like this?
Unexpectedly, Goddess Xinglan's next words were: "Senior Ji Yan, this time Xing Lan took the liberty to visit. Firstly, he wanted to ask Mr. Mingzhe in person what he meant. Secondly, he also wanted to make a deal with Senior Jiyan.
Buy and sell.”
"Buy or sell!?"
Ancestor Ji Yan was stunned for a moment, but then he laughed heartily and said, "Xinglan can tell me, what kind of deal is it? As long as it's suitable, I will never refuse."
He made up his mind that as long as this transaction was not an outrageous loss, he would directly agree to it and treat it as a betrothal gift to the goddess Xinglan.
"In my hand, I have a futures contract for bulk goods." Goddess Xinglan went straight to the point and said, "A total of 100 million warehouses of third-grade spiritual rice, and 10 million warehouses of fourth-grade spiritual rice, with one percent delivered every year and paid in cents!
But I am short of money now and want to ship it at a cheaper price~"
"What?"
The faces of Ancestor Ji Yan and Ming Zhe Shenzi both changed color.
They were all frightened by the list!
At this moment, they only had one thought in their minds, is Goddess Xinglan crazy?
On the other hand, Goddess Xinglan remained unmoved and calm as usual.
Obviously, the reactions of Ancestor Jiyan and Shenzi Mingzhe at this moment were within her expectations.
However, at this moment, she was only calm on the surface, but she was secretly proud in her heart, and she admired Wang Shouzhe who planned all this.
Master Shouzhe's plan of borrowing grain and selling it short is truly a clever plan!
