Chapter 102 Tang Kee Chamber of Commerce (Part 2)
Inside the Tang Kee Chamber of Commerce, the air was a little quiet at this time.
Tang Si's eyes were fixed on the five clusters of flames in front of him.
That's right.
What appeared in front of him were five clusters of Earth Vein Fire!
At this time, the group of people sitting not far from him, quietly sipping tea, were naturally Wu Fan, Lin Ziming and other members of the business group.
In addition to the large number of Bang Bang Happy Bars and assembly line clothes prepared by Rabbit, the supplies carried by this trade group also contained some other scattered gadgets.
For example, electric shavers, hand-cranked flashlights, magnifying glasses, kaiselu, Ma Yinglong hemorrhoid cream, etc.
Perhaps in the realm of immortality in the Great Mo Realm, there are many instruments or talismans that can replace these small things.
But in the lower-end civilian field, there is still a relatively large market for these things.
To put it simply, the main target groups of these things are civilians and practitioners below the second level of Qi training, and they are only traded in copper coins.
Copper coins are still money no matter what. It's not a loss to collect them and transport them back to the mainland for melting. The price of copper is also very expensive these days.
In addition to the above-mentioned supplies, the rabbits also prepared several special goods.
After all, due to the shameful face of a certain director who did not want to be named, the trade group carried more than 3,000 spiritual stones less than expected this time.
After deducting the round-trip boat tickets and other expenses, the total inside and outside is only about 20,000 spirit stones, which is equivalent to more than 100 million Chinese coins.
Friends who have participated in large-scale trade fairs should know that more than 100 million may seem like a lot of money, but in fact it is really not worth spending. You can just sign some intention contracts and tens of millions are gone.
It would be even faster if there were no industrial exhibitions, and even three or two production lines might not be available.
At the same time, according to what Wei Qiangsheng said, an ordinary family's turnover during their stay in Fangshi is probably more than 6,000 spirit stones.
The main cost of monster materials lies in the battle losses of the monks during the siege, so if the family only sells but does not buy, the net profit will be almost 4,000 - based on the frequency of the market opening every three or four years, this kind of net profit is not Not excessive.
After all, for a family of more than 100 immortals, the annual quota expenditure for the children of the family is more than 1,000 spirit stones.
Therefore, the rabbits want to buy some good things. To be honest, 20,000 spiritual stones are not enough.
Even if I sell all the Boomsticks, it won't be enough.
After all, it doesn’t matter if it’s a happy stick or any other small item.
They mainly want to test the market and prepare for future clearing of inventory and long-term cooperation.
Therefore, in order to prevent the trade group from falling into the dilemma of having no money to buy after a simple purchase, the Rabbits specially prepared a few back-up items that can squeeze the bottom of the box.
These five clusters of earth vein fire are one of them.
Earth Vein Fire, also called Earth Fiend Fire, is an important fire source necessary for alchemy refining in the Great Mo Realm.
Earth Vein Fire exists forever in the center of the earth, and it requires monks in the foundation-building stage to spend a lot of energy to have a chance to get it.
The level of the monks who can guide earth vein fire must be at least six levels of foundation building, and they must have the qualification of fire spirit root. It will take at least one to two years to guide a cluster of earth vein fire from the core of the rock.
In general.
In a city that has been inherited for hundreds of years and has been guarded by foundation-building monks for generations, it is not easy to have one or two clusters of earth vein flames.
It is not uncommon for some dark-faced families in the Core Formation Stage to have no Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator with the Fire Spirit Root for hundreds of years. In the end, they can only grit their teeth and pay high prices to be attracted or purchased.
In these families, the Earth Vein Flame is enshrined as a family inheritance!
Therefore, in the Great Mo Realm, Earth Vein Fire is extremely valuable.
This is also the reason why the main line of the Wei Mansion with first-level alchemists has a higher status than the branch line with first-level talisman masters.
Even in normal times, the selling price of a cluster of earth-line fire is at least four thousand spirit stones. In other words, a cluster of earth-line fire requires a family member with foundation-building combat power to chew one without consuming cultivation resources. It takes three to four years to put it all together.
Not to mention that the spiritual energy of the Great Mo Realm is increasingly dissipating, and the value of Earth Vein Fire is rising by several percentage points almost every year.
It is precisely because of the precious value of earth vein fire.
The Rabbits specially prepared a little leyline fire for Lin Ziming and the others this time, ready to see if there was a suitable time to cash out the money from a suitable merchant.
The reason why I want to emphasize the two "appropriate" ones is mainly because these leyline fires have a few, extremely subtle, small flaws:
They can only last about 200 hours.
Mentioned before.
Under the research of Academician Liu Xiangqian's team, the rabbits cracked the secret of the evil energy in the earth vein fire:
That is some kind of microorganism that can survive in ultra-high temperature conditions and release condensation particles in large quantities.
The rabbits named it Y creature, and the evil particles it released were Y particles.
But cracking is cracking, and mass production is not easy.
Liu Xiangqian's team found in subsequent research that Y organisms have artificially proliferated and expanded in specific environments.
But the 'offspring' they gave birth to have a very short life cycle and cannot continue to multiply in any environment.
In the original Earthline Flame Heart, the survival period of the second-generation Y creature was only a little over 400 hours.
In an artificial flame environment, the lifespan of the second generation Y creature plummeted to less than 200 hours.
You must know that these first-generation Y organisms could have continued to reproduce for hundreds of years under suitable conditions.
The reasons for this situation are being cracked by the rabbits, and perhaps there will be some new breakthroughs soon.
But no matter how fast this 'soon' is, at least in this trade mission, it is absolutely impossible for the rabbits to come up with the fully restored Leyline Fire.
However, considering that the number of spiritual stones carried by Lin Ziming and the others is really not enough, many rabbits may not be able to buy the things they are keen on.
So a few black-hearted. Ahem, a few innocent little rabbits pricked their ears and thought of a way:
How about we take some of those semi-finished earth vein fires to Purple Qiong City? If we encounter a situation where we really don’t have enough money, we can find out what shady shops there are in the city, kill them and teach them a lesson!
When all the big guys heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up: This is a good idea, there is nothing wrong with it!
Ever since.
In this way, several clusters of semi-finished earth vein fires were brought to Ziqiong City by Lin Ziming and others.
Of course, as mentioned above.
The original idea of the rabbits was to wait until they really couldn't get any money out of their pockets before taking this step.
However, the plan could not keep up with the changes. Now there is an opportunity to buy some low-priced monster materials and get some meat. After some discussion, the headquarters decided immediately:
Don’t wait until you run out of money to take out the semi-finished Earth Vein Fire. Find a black-hearted merchant guild to sell it on the spot.
The trade group spent two days on the road, and the Y particles could survive for more than 150 hours, which was enough to last until the trade group left.
Then, after comparing the information provided by Wei Qiangsheng, Lin Ziming finally targeted the Tang Kee Chamber of Commerce.
This was the scene before.
At this time, Tang Si naturally didn't know the hole the rabbits had dug for him, and he was quickly calculating how much money he could earn for the Tang family this time.
Although Tang Si was not a very good person, his cultivation level was only at the third level of Qi training.
But when it comes to Tang Si's business ability, even Wei Qiangsheng, who is extremely disdainful of him, shakes his head and says, 'This guy does have something.'
In addition, the characteristics of flames such as earth vein fire are so distinct that Wu Fan and others did not hinder Tang Si's inspection at all.
So Tang Si quickly came to a conclusion:
These clusters of flames are Earth Vein Flames!
From the beginning to the end, he never thought that this thing might be a half-finished product.
no way.
The concept of technology has exceeded all the known dimensions of the natives of the Great Mo Realm. Even if you ask Nascent Soul Overhaul to look at these clusters of flames, you can't find anything wrong with them.
At most, Tang Si was curious about how these hard-working men who obviously did not have the realm of foundation building got these clusters of treasures through such bad luck, and then he cursed in his heart that the European Emperor deserved to die. That was all.
As for snatching
You know, Ziqiong City is a super big city with many people in the Danjie realm.
There may be many unknown dark sides in some of these mansions, but in the public areas of the city, no family dares to do anything like plundering on the street.
After all, as a trade center with a radius of thousands of miles, Ziqiong City must ensure the safety of merchants in the city. Otherwise, no one will be willing to come to a market without security no matter how high the price is.
As for what will happen when you take the flying boat back to the transfer station and use the transfer station to return to the city after your business is done, this is not the concern of Ziqiong City.
In a word: Ziqiong City guarantees the safety of all merchants in the city.
So at this time, Tang Si had no intention of robbing him. Anyway, as long as the business was done well, he would still have the means to make more money.
For example, as far as he knew, in another Liuyun City thousands of miles away, there was a Jiedan family that was buying Earth Vein Flame at a high price.
The asking price is even as high as 7,000 spirit stones per cluster!
Although all the spirit stones earned must be handed over to the owner, as a handler, his profit at the end of the year must be at least dozens of spirit stones.
Thus,
The fourth son’s spiritual enlightenment money is enough, he can get a new concubine, and he can listen to more music.
There is also the grave of my first wife who has been dead for a few years. Forget about this. Anyway, just make a show of wiping away tears every year and saying I miss you so much.
Thinking of the shining spirit stone, Tang Si couldn't help but feel a little hotter in his heart.
He first adjusted his breathing, suppressed all the excitement in his heart, and pretended to be calm and said to Wu Fan:
“This little brother, I’ve already experienced everything.
The genuine earth vein fire, the appearance of the flame and the quality of the evil spirit are extremely high. I wonder how many spiritual stones you plan to sell? "
When Wu Fan heard this, he immediately showed an 'honest' smile.
After all, he has also opened a store in Puxi for a period of time, and has quite a lot of experience in business dealings. Naturally, he knows that he cannot quote his own price at this time:
"We're not very familiar with this business. How about the shopkeeper tell us the number?"
Tang Si's expression remained unchanged, he pondered for a while and said:
"Everyone, the current price of Earth Vein Fire on the market is 4,500 to 5,000 spirit stones per cluster.
But I believe you all know that we, the chamber of commerce, must make some profits when doing business, so there must be some discrepancies between the purchase price and the selling price, and there may even be a big difference."
Tang Si deliberately lengthened his voice, raised his eyelids and glanced at Wu Fan, telling him that his face was expressionless, then quietly approached him, stretched out three fingers of his left hand and shook them:
"Brother, what do you think of this number?"
Three fingers represent three thousand spirit stones and a cluster of earth vein fire.
Wu Fan knew about the low prices of rabbits before entering the store, so he shook his head neatly:
"Shopkeeper, your price is not honest. Let me give you a fixed price. Five clusters of 20,000 spiritual stones. We have to take away the iron box."
Five clusters of earth vein fire cost 20,000 spirit stones, which means one cluster of earth vein fire costs four thousand.
It's a thousand dollars higher than Tang Si's price.
For Yutangsi, this value is not unacceptable, and it doesn't matter much more for the iron box.
The iron box is nothing more than a carrying tool inside and outside. It can't be that the Leyline Flame will be extinguished after being removed from it, right?
Just kidding, as we all know, Earth Vein Flame is one of the best preserved flames in the Great Mo Realm, okay?
Moreover, Tang Si carefully looked at them many times and found that these clusters of earth vein fires were in very good condition and were definitely not the kind of waste fire that was about to go out and could not be raised no matter how hard it was.
It’s just these ignorant countrymen who regard the iron box as a treasure. It is not tiring to carry the iron box more than half a meter high. They are reluctant to spend money to buy a lighter small wooden box for spiritual plants.
However, despite the contempt in his heart, business is still going on as usual.
The price of 20,000 spirit stones is not high, but according to Tang Si's profit-seeking character, it will definitely have to drop a little lower at this time.
After all, every time the price drops a little, he might get a few more spiritual stones.
Then he counter-offered before he even opened his mouth.
The man with thick eyebrows and big eyes sitting next to the younger brother - Lin Ziming suddenly coughed lightly.
After Tang Si heard the sound and looked at it, Lin Ziming dipped some water in the teacup with his index finger, lightly drew a '1' on the table, circled it, and then pointed at Tang Si.
As a business person, how could Tang Si not understand the meaning of Lin Ziming's gesture?
This is clearly telling him: Don't bargain. At this price, each cluster of Earth Vein Fire can give him a kickback of one hundred spirit stones!
There are five clusters of five hundred spiritual stones, which is much higher than the Tang family's profit!
Tang Si immediately stopped hesitating and nodded firmly:
"Okay, then 20,000 spiritual stones! Cash now!"
In about two quarters of an hour, both sides completed the handover.
Tang Si felt refreshed and took away the five clusters of Earth Vein Fire together with the soil they contained. His right hand tightly held a small bag around his waist.
Lin Ziming and others left Tang Kee Chamber of Commerce with a bag of spiritual stones and an iron box in their hands.
Then, under Gu Junming's guidance, everyone walked to a remote alley and stopped.
Lin Ziming glanced back first and asked Gu Junming, "Chief of Staff Gu, is there no tail behind?"
Gu Junming shook his head decisively: "I left three people behind to ensure that no one will follow us."
Lin Ziming's shoulders suddenly relaxed, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and at the same time threw the spirit stone in his hand with emotion.
Then he thought of something and turned to the special soldier Chen Fei who was holding the iron box: "Comrade Xiao Chen, please check again."
Chen Fei nodded, opened the iron box, pressed a few times on the four corners, and opened the bottom layer of the box.
I saw that in the lower half of the space, there were five other clusters of leyline fire swaying neatly.
Lin Ziming showed a look of satisfaction on his face and waved his hand:
"Let's go to the next house!"
Today is still two-in-one, just this update
