Lisbonto, white rain under the dark sky, water flowing down the steps of the branch exchange of the business alliance, It's like two waterfalls hitting the street that has already been rubbed by wheels, outside the exchange, there are all kinds of carriages parked, there are merchants' carriages, there are also nobles' carriages, the gloomy sky, bright dark thunder flashed, the sound penetrated the gate, lightning illuminated the scene inside the exchange hall, dense people, almost completely crowded the entire exchange, everyone's eyes were anxiously looking at the door of the hall, in the depressing atmosphere, there was a whispering voice, in the room on the second floor of the exchange, a middle-aged man wearing the costume of a deacon of the business alliance exhaled heavily, and his hands tightened unnaturally,

"Is there any new news......?

The middle-aged man held a thick stack of golden scrolls in his hand, his eyes swept over the dense people below, and his eyebrows were tightly twisted into a Sichuan character, this time, but something went wrong! The entire Lisbento Chamber of Commerce is only here, and everyone is only concerned about one thing, that is, thousands of miles away, the war of the empire in the Istanbul region,

"It's hard to say, but if the Imperial army really suffers a crushing defeat in the Istanbul Empire, it will have to reassess the value of this shipment in their hands!" said a subordinate standing next to him with an ugly face.

"How can we say, we have no choice?" The middle-aged man's face was gloomy and pale, and his hand angrily pressed a thick stack of gold scrolls on the table, this time the crisis that broke out was too sudden, no one would have thought that the other party's design would be so deep, and the financial resources involved would be so large, once this storm was formed, everything about himself would be wiped out, and the investigation from the imperial military was not just a matter of discarding some property, but serious to the point of extermination

Logically speaking. The empire's war in the Istanbul region is too far away from Lisbento, and it is only a local war, and it is far from reaching the level that can affect Lisbento, the maritime trade center of the mainland, but just a month ago, the double-headed eagle merchant group, a large merchant group from the southern part of the inland sea, suddenly suddenly asked for a large purchase of finished refined iron in the Lisbento market, and also put forward a proposal to buy it at an average price, and the quantity purchased was enough to shake the market of Lisbento, which attracted the attention of the entire Lisbonto Chamber of Commerce, one million tons of refined iron。 God knows why the Double-Headed Eagle Merchant Group has so many and where to get such a large amount of money,

The so-called average price purchase is a kind of commercial policy of the business alliance, which is mainly applicable to large-scale commodity trade, that is, you can use the average market price to buy goods in large quantities, because the quantity of purchases is huge, so neither merchants nor buyers can complete the transaction immediately. Generally, it is agreed that the payment will be delivered after one month.

In this way, merchants can do their best to raise goods, and buyers can gather more funds.

This is an adaptation for high-volume maritime trade. After all, it is a trade route established on the sea, and the time for a trip is calculated according to the month, and January is the most basic transaction cycle time. Many chambers of commerce place a bill of goods before departure, then sell a full ship of goods outside, and then return with sufficient funds. Bring new goods,

In this way, businessmen can relieve the pressure on funds, and the chamber of commerce can also get more benefits, which is a win-win policy.

But the problem is that the price of goods will fluctuate over time, the price of a month ago, and the price of a month later will not be exactly the same, or rise, or fall, so there is an average price purchase, that is, the two parties enter into a contract, no matter what the price of the goods is a month later, they are traded according to the price agreed a month ago, if the goods rise in this month, then the buyer who signed the contract earns, if the price of the goods falls, then the seller earns, risk and benefit coexist

"This is the golden ticket issued by the Business Alliance, if you don't believe it, you can directly inquire through the Business Alliance!" The arrogant representative of the double-headed eagle business group took out the gold scroll issued by the business alliance with a full 12 million gold coins, and the business alliance confirmed that it was genuine after identification, and this kind of criticism naturally subsided, as long as the businessman made money, it didn't matter where these golden tickets came from,

"Are those golden tickets real?"

Socutustellan sitting in Lisbonto looked at the report, raised his head unexpectedly, and his pretty face was a little confused, the golden ticket is very convenient for the commercial alliance to trade a large number of goods, with the expansion of the empire's influence, and the commercial alliance's commercial activities in the inland sea region, the commercial alliance golden ticket has become the price bill for most inland sea countries,

"It can be confirmed that it is real, the numbers on the golden ticket are all the same as those issued, and there is no problem with the dark code of the queen!"

The report was sent by a person in charge of the business alliance, after the turmoil, the thirteenth deacon Sokutus Delan is really already the real ruler of Lisbonto, every golden ticket issued by the business alliance has a number stub, and there is a code that can correspond to the sub-ticket, unless the other party can get the code and the stub, it cannot be copied, the copy of the code book is in the hands of Socutus Stellan, and it was originally in the hands of His Majesty the Falcon

The person in charge of the business alliance hesitated for a moment, and said, "The subordinates think that the other party has obtained so many golden tickets, and he should come prepared, but the empire that is the first in the north of the continent will naturally not lack refined iron, but the amount of refined iron that the other party needs at once, even the entire Lisbon Chamber of Commerce can't come up with that much, so it is understandable that the other party proposed to buy it at an average price."

"Then issue this trade notice!"

Sokutus Dylan put down the notification in his hand, there was no reason to refuse this trade, because the other party took out the golden ticket of the business alliance,

The golden ticket of the business alliance is now through the inland sea region, even in the southern inland region, those countries that are full of unfriendliness to the Falcon Empire, there are also many countries that buy golden tickets from the business alliance to buy the required goods, so it is normal for the double-headed eagle merchant group to use a large number of commercial alliance golden tickets in their hands, but this time the number is too scary, twelve million, such a number is almost the trade quota of Lisbonto in a quarter, even if it is a super merchant group like the double-headed eagle merchant group in the southern region, I am afraid that there will not be so many golden tickets, Sokutus Delan faintly feels that something is wrong, but it can't be said to be a problem, the other party took out the golden ticket of the business alliance, and if the business alliance came forward to obstruct it, once it was passed out. It will be a devastating blow to the golden ticket system that the business alliance has spent countless efforts and energy to establish, once the chamber of commerce no longer believes in the golden ticket of the business alliance and asks for it to be exchanged for cash currency, even a behemoth like the business alliance will collapse overnight.

The announcement was released, the whole Lisbonto was a sensation, and the abundant funds of 12 million made all the chambers of commerce rush to it, and the fine iron on the market was swept away, and the major chambers of commerce are still mobilizing supplies from all over the world, and the fine iron is the material for forging weapons. The Imperial Army fought in the north and south, and a large number of weapons and armor captured were disposed of as fine iron, although refined iron is a resource controlled by the Imperial military, it is also the largest export commodity of the Empire, especially after each war in the Empire, the price of fine iron will fluctuate, two months ago, the Empire killed 300,000 Fei Shan's troops in Feshan. The price of refined iron is already very low, and with a one-month buffer period, the refined iron gathered by the Chamber of Commerce has reached a frightening scale, and the price of refined iron is even lower. However, the other party issued an average price purchase, so the more quantity, the greater the profit from the Chamber of Commerce

In the halls of the branches of the Commercial Alliance in the southern regions of the empire, clerks with various commercial contracts in their hands. Shuttling through the stairwell, a ten-meter-long desk is distributed with four windows, and the front of the windows is already occupied by merchants

"All the fine iron. Load the car immediately!" A businessman crowded at the front desk handed the contract in his hand through the iron fence-like window, his fat face was covered with sweat, and his fat hand was struggling to reach through the narrow iron window, there were too many people behind him, even with his size, he could only try his best to maintain the position in front

"Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up in front!" The merchants in the back lined up in a long line, most of them were people sent by the Chamber of Commerce to purchase fine iron, and in the iron window, the clerk of the business alliance wearing a feather hat on his head, after carefully checking the copies of the documents, neatly stamped the seal of departure on the contract, and then handed it back to the merchant opposite, "Please pay another 110 gold coins"

"How can this be, it shouldn't be! My goods have been verified at the time of loading, how can I have to pay the freight for no reason?" The freight clerk took the contract, looked at it carefully, and tried to raise his head to the clerk in front of the desk to justify, trying his best to use his thick figure to resist the crowding behind him, there are so many sources of fine iron, because of this turmoil, many of the original military supplies of fine iron have been affected, many chambers of commerce have chosen to suspend the goods in their hands at this moment, in order to retain enough mobile funds, hoping to be able to gather the fine iron as quickly as possible within this month, "Your Excellency, the number of your goods exceeds one-tenth of the standard allocation!" So we have to charge a fee according to the third tax point" The clerk glanced outside and explained with some impatience, "There are too many people who need to deliver goods recently, and there are only a few vehicles left, if you don't want to, please don't block the people behind!"

"Whoever says no, I'll do it!" the clerk completed the formalities as quickly as he could, and then left complacently, and the people behind him let out a burst of curses, this situation is playing out in the whole southern region of Obarro, this huge order, affecting the entire Lisbonto trade network, a month is too short!

"The amount of fine iron is almost reached, but some of it comes from ......!" The person in charge of the business alliance who reported for the first time, his face began to lose his composure, and he hurriedly came to Sokutus Delan with the report he had just gathered, and when he reported it, his voice paused, and he didn't dare to say any more, but handed the report over

"Is it from Fessan?"

Sokutus Delan's eyes swept over the report, her eyebrows frowned slightly, and the hand holding the report turned a little white, it is not illegal for the military to sell fine iron, after all, in the Imperial Legion, the tradition of selling war spoils has a long history, as long as the Ministry of Supervision approves it, but the storm caused by the fine iron this time is too widespread, and as Fei Shan, who is in the thick of gunpowder, these fine iron are likely to come from the side of Varisian, "It's not Fei Shan, our investigator's report says that the battle of Fei Shan." Most of the loot has been confiscated, and the rest has been assigned to the new army by Lord Varisian!" said the head of the commercial alliance with a solemn expression

"You mean, the Eastern Province, these fine irons come from the Eastern Province!" Sokutus Stellan stood up suddenly, his eyes suddenly sharpened and cold,

"I'll report this to Your Majesty, you go down!"

Sokutus Delan took a deep breath and waved his hand to the person in charge, how many armaments did the empire sponsor in the Eastern Province, Sokutus Delan knew very well, because many of them were personally mobilized by her, enough to equip seventy or eighty thousand weapons and armor, all of which were real first-class fine iron, although the empire was generally calm, but the war in the Eastern Province was still burning, and the Governor of the Eastern Province, Hayera, conquered two provinces of the Islamic Empire in a row, and it was the time of fame, I heard that in order to raise military expenses, the Governor of Hayala searched around, and almost scraped a layer of land in the area occupied by Iraq, so it is no wonder that some armaments will be melted into fine iron to be sold secretly, It's just because of the distance, Sokutus Stellan didn't expect that the scope of this time would be so large, and some of the refined iron secretly sold by the Eastern Province actually flowed to Lisbento, which shows how terrible the scope of the impact is

"Let's hope everything goes well!"

Time passed like this, the time for the arrival of the Double-headed Eagle Merchant Group was approaching quickly, everything seemed to be so smooth, the merchants were busy running, and the Chamber of Commerce had hoarded enough supplies to make a big profit, but a piece of news from the east made the calm waters of the entire Lisbanto begin to roll, and the six southern countries suddenly started a war against the imperial army in the territory of the Empire of Iraq, and the Double-headed Eagle Merchant Group, as one of the six southern countries, the first merchant group of Fezer, the intention of buying such a large amount of refined iron is self-evident, and these refined iron will be made into weapons to fight against the Empire, which is an act of treason against the enemy, if the six countries are defeated in the territory of Iraq, then the anger of the imperial military may not be burned, and if the army of the six countries is victorious, the consequences are unimaginable

The rain hit the sloping roof of the exchange, but it was more like hitting the hearts of all the merchants in the exchange, in order to collect the goods as much as possible, the Chamber of Commerce invested a lot of money, once the military came forward, then the entire Lisbento Chamber of Commerce will be greatly damaged, everyone is looking at the door,

Today, news will come from the East,

In the afternoon, a carriage hurriedly arrived at the gate of the business alliance, a merchant jumped down from the carriage, regardless of the rain that was falling on his head, and stepped on the watery steps in front of him with a depressed expression, the water wet his pants, but he didn't realize it, he pushed open the door in front of him, his eyes swept over everyone in the hall, and said in a painful voice, "The latest news, the army of the Eastern Province has been defeated" (to be continued......
