Chapter 98 Linyuan City Transfer Station (Part 2)
The transportation convoy stopped at a mountain col, about two or three kilometers away from Linyuan City Gate.
After the convoy came to a stop.
Lin Ziming pressed his index finger on his ear and listened, then said to everyone:
"Everyone, pack up and get out of the car."
After saying this, he suddenly thought of something again, turned to Wang Qiang and said:
"Here, the carriage you asked for is here."
Wang Qiang had just packed up her snacks and was about to get out of the car when she heard this and was stunned: "?"
Since the transport vehicle the group was in was located in the back half of the convoy, as soon as they landed, they saw a large number of people in front of them who were busy carrying goods.
Then moving her gaze forward, Wang Qiang finally understood what Lin Ziming meant:
With the help of the lighting effect of the high beam, it can be seen that at this time, several "carriages" suddenly appeared at the front of the convoy.
The word "car" in these "carriage" - that is, the second half of the vehicle, is not much different from the ancient vehicles on earth.
They are two wooden wheels wearing root bearings, with a large carriage on top.
But that 'horse' in front?
Although they also have four legs, these creatures have lizard-like heads, silvery-white eyes with no visible pupils, and a slight bulge between the shoulder bones.
"This is a common animal creature in the Great Mo Realm, called a lizard. If they have a chance to break through the first level, the bulges on their shoulder bones will evolve into wings that can fly."
Lin Ziming introduced this creature to everyone, then pointed to Wei Qiangsheng in front of him who was interacting with several people and said:
"Linyuan City is a very famous transfer station nearby, so the Wei Mansion has also set up a small business in the city. It is mainly used to inquire about information and receive Chixian City caravans. Normally, it only needs to ensure that it does not lose money. There is no profit-making mission. "
Ma Ning was the eldest among the group. Hearing this, he naturally thought of similar buildings from a certain period in China: "Isn't this the guest house where a certain city lived in a certain place, similar to the one in the imperial capital?"
Lin Ziming glanced at Ma Ning with a strange expression. In fact, his first thought was also about a guest house.
Could it be that his mental age is almost the same as Ma Ning's?
Then he coughed twice and tried to be serious:
"Okay, for the sake of safety, our transport vehicle will be temporarily parked here, and everyone can rest where they are.
Comrade Xiao Wang and Teacher Chaohong, please hold on to Professor Ma. Be careful if he falls in the dark. "
Then he looked around at his entourage, and finally waved to one person:
"Comrade Wu Fan, please come with me to help unload the goods."
That's right, Wu Fan.
In the initial plan, the headquarters decided to send a six-member team in addition to the four business representatives in the trade group.
At that time, the headquarters only designated four of them: Lin Ziming, Wang Qiang, Ma Ning and Dai Chaohong.
The remaining two people originally arranged for two life assistants to accompany them, but after repeated decisions by the headquarters, they decided to add Wu Fan to the list of accompanying people this time.
Wu Fan was added not to gain the halo of the protagonist, but from a translation perspective.
After all, if the rabbits want to go shopping by themselves, sometimes it may not be appropriate to call Wei Niandong.
So a local tool, uh, a local translator is of great use at this time.
Wu Fan's language progress has been rapid during this period, and now he can rap a large bowl of wide noodles very fluently.
In addition, his recent performance in all aspects has been very good, and the command finally decided to add him to the list of the trade group.
After hearing Lin Ziming's greeting, Wu Fan responded and walked forward quickly.
The life of moving bricks during this period has made him much stronger, and his physical fitness has improved somewhat after enlightenment. At this time, it is natural for him to stand up and help.
Then the two of them came to the location of the guard group, and several people worked together to move the 'No Aura Detonating Talisman' in a box.
As for someone's complaint about "Why is there no levitation in the Xianxia world?", it was unfortunately ignored due to the distance.
More than half an hour later, all supplies from both the Wei Mansion and Hua Xia were carried onto the carriage.
Due to the limited scale of the Wei Mansion's Chamber of Commerce in Linyuan City, there were only three vehicles left this time after loading the supplies.
Lin Ziming, Wei Qiangsheng and others worked together and arranged the female relatives and elders (mostly accountants) in the caravan onto the carriage, while the remaining people walked towards Linyuan City.
Forty minutes later, everyone arrived at an area under the guidance of Wei Qiangsheng.
This area is about five hundred meters away from the city gate. The terrain is flat and seems to be very suitable for the lifting and lowering of large vehicles.
When everyone arrived, hundreds of people had already stopped here with goods.
These people were very clearly divided into several bonfire piles, with a large number of hundreds of people and a small number of only more than 20 people.
Some of them were chatting, eating meat and drinking wine, and a few of them were meditating with their eyes closed.
Obviously, each bonfire represents a caravan.
The leaders of the caravan are basically practitioners who have reached the sixth level of Qi training or above, and their eyesight at night is also very good.
Then the fire light saw that the new team was led by Wei Qiangsheng, and soon three or two people came up with wine bags.
Wei Qiangsheng chatted and laughed with a few people at first. After returning to Lin Ziming, his smile disappeared instantly:
"Colonel Lin, I asked.
The flying boat won't arrive for a few hours, so we can find a place to rest first.
A total of seven caravans came this time, including us, which was six fewer than last time, and the leaders of many teams had changed.
Did you see the group of people in the front right? It was a caravan from two cities united, which was very rare in the past.
It seems that everyone has suffered a lot from this beast wave. I hope this information is useful to you. "
Lin Ziming nodded and thanked Wei Qiangsheng:
"Thank you for your hard work, Brother Johnson. Please arrange for everyone to take a break."
After Wei Qiangsheng left, Lin Ziming quietly found Mu Ge, the head of the business group:
"Director Mu, please come with me."
Mu Ge is thirty-five years old this year. His original position was the Director of the Second Division of the Department of International Economic and Trade Relations of the Ministry of Commerce. He was one of the people who arrived in Da Mojie with Shi Zehong.
After walking to the hiding place.
Lin Ziming repeated the news that Wei Qiangsheng heard, and then asked: "Director Mu, what do you think?"
"This is good news."
Mu Ge raised his eyebrows and answered without hesitation:
"It can be seen from the caravan formed by the cooperation between the two cities that this kind of long-distance trade involves certain risks - this is also consistent with the judgment of the headquarters before our departure.
Therefore, those cities that did not come were either dead and destroyed, or they did not have healthy and powerful monk leaders. This made them dare not send out caravans to stop losses by selling monster materials after suffering heavy losses.
At the same time, considering the distance between the cities in the Great Mo Realm, I think that except for a few cities with extremely close relationships.
Most cities that are unable to organize caravans will not hand over materials to other cities for sale - the distance between cities is one thing, and secondly, no one can guarantee that they will get the money after selling them.
Therefore, I think that a considerable number of cities have chosen to temporarily store their supplies this time, waiting for the next opportunity to sell them.
Colonel Lin, do you know what this means? "
Having said this, Mu Ge stared at Lin Ziming closely, and he raised an index finger:
"This means that the quantity of raw materials for monster beasts in this trade will be greatly reduced, and the selling price is likely to skyrocket. This is very important and good news for the Wei Mansion.
As for the more casualties our monks suffer in the beast tide, the higher the demand for talismans.
And our gadgets are cheap and practical, do you think they will be popular?
Secondly
As the owner of the flying boat, the Yang family in Ziqiong City must have already grasped the news of the decrease in the number of caravans.
But other families in the city or shops in the city may not have thought of this - or they may not have thought that the loss of raw materials this time would be so serious.
After all, their information channels were limited, and it was too late for the Yang family to set up a network, so it was impossible to inform them in good faith.
Therefore, at least for the first period of time, other merchant families in Ziqiong City should not be able to react - this time may be very short, it may be three to five hours or even a few hours, but there must be such a time difference.
Even many caravans heading to Ziqiong City may not realize this. For example, in some areas where the impact of the beast tide is not that bad, after all, not everyone has a business sense.
so.
If you can make good use of this information gap, let alone eat meat, at least follow the Yang family and drink some soup. I think there is absolutely room for maneuver.
After all, we have the entire Chinese think tank behind us! "
After listening to this quietly, Lin Ziming's expression became serious: "Director Mu, your analysis is very reasonable. I will report this situation to the headquarters immediately!"
Then the two hurriedly separated. Mu Ge went to find other business members to convey the information, and Lin Ziming quickly reported the situation to the headquarters.
After receiving this news.
The headquarters immediately showed a serious attitude. Lin Li said during the call that Yan Shaoxin would be immediately sent back to the Demon City to receive the injection instead, and to report the situation back to the Demon City.
After hanging up the communication, Lin Ziming exhaled heavily.
If the idea mentioned by Mu Ge is feasible, then this is tantamount to a futures bargain hunting in another world. Conservatively speaking, it must not be difficult to earn a few thousand spirit stones.
Of course, operation still requires certain technical skills. After all, no one knows how long it will take for the news to spread.
Lin Ziming then put away the communication equipment and turned around to assist in the placement of personnel.
When the matter reached this point, it was no longer something he was capable of handling personally.
Three hours later, the last caravan arrived.
The number of caravans traveling this time was finally set at eight.
According to Wei Qiangsheng’s words:
'Out of the thirteen caravans last year, five failed and five really failed.'
Another two hours passed.
A huge object cut through the clouds and flew from a distance.
The flying boat has arrived!
Please give me a monthly pass, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
