Chapter 12: Free Markets
The most fundamental element of doing business on the seven seas lies in people, and without people, there is no business, so the biggest problem is how to gather people and gather the major forces, so that they can have each other and make money.
The Gypsies on the sea are very smart, although the scale of their business is not as large as that of the Jews of the Seven Seas and other forces in the Seven Seas, and even extends their tentacles to the princes of several continental islands, but the Gypsies rise at the bottom, and their ideas and means are closer to reality, and the means of gathering people are also diverse, and they do not disdain the sea people at sea because of the introduction of major forces into the "toucan" exchange market, on the contrary, in the "toucan" To the south of the exchange market, next to Polan Street, there is a small open space, where more than 300 free stalls of sea people are scattered.
It's crowded, noisy, and chaotic. As long as the sea people spread out the seal skin, put on some messy seafood, it is a small mobile stall, the booth space is first-come, first-served, crowded until it is full, although the stall is only more than 300 on the planning map, but often the position of a stall is crowded with two or even three sea people, the sea people who set up the stall will tolerate each other, and will not quarrel because of what industry competition or crowded location, because they all understand that it is not easy for everyone to eat at sea!! As if they had been collectively trained, the seafarers were basically the same movements, all of them crouched their necks, squatted in front of the stalls, and smoked the "seafolk smoke" made of dried kelp and low-quality sea urchin oil, without making a sound, never soliciting customers, and only when the customers came to the door, they would reluctantly explain the problems of the customers.
In contrast to the silence of the stall holders, the people who come in to shop are the noise makers, and they are also the source of the vitality of the free stall market. Yuan Xing is no exception, since he entered this mixed market, his voice has not stopped~~
"The people in front, let go, get in the way!"
A giant tooth seafolk dragged his two long fangs, walked slowly in the narrow and damp aisle, and sat in front of the stall from time to time, grabbed the goods and sniffed and sniffed, the huge body stopped the crowd marching back and forth, no matter how everyone shouted, and even slapped the fat body of the huge seaman, the other party looked unresponsive, occasionally shaking his head, and making a vague "moo~~" sound towards the seafolk in protest.
"There's really no way" Yuan Xing scratched his hair, the Giant Tooth Sea People themselves are a marginal species between humans and animals, and they don't even know how to use the lingua franca of the Seven Seas, they can only communicate with sign language and simple words, and they have rough skin and thick flesh, and they are slow to react, so it is estimated that they will not be able to react when they are cut with a knife.
Although this market is inclusive of all rivers and rivers, there is no limit to qualifications, and it is a paradise for sea people, but this kind of behemoth that obstructs traffic is put in, and the managers are too careless!
Yuan Xing, who had exhausted the method, only used his hands and feet at the same time, grabbed the wisps of rags that I don't know if it was the tattered coat of the giant tooth seaman or the fur that grew from his body, and crawled over this huge "hill", fortunately, after his attribute bonus, his agility was greatly improved, and it didn't take much effort, but when these people in the back imitated Yuan Xing's movements, they were turned over by the greasy body of the giant tooth sea people, which caused a lot of confusion.
"Haha, bye-bye~~" Yuan Xing grimaced at the sea people who were struggling to climb behind him, and quickly left the scene of the blockage.
The heads of unknown dead sea beasts, the bottles and cans drifting out on the land island, the complex instruments obtained from the wrecked ship, the so-called strange potions concocted through their own "secret recipes"~~~ There are all kinds of goods sold in the stalls of the seamen, although there are all kinds of goods, but everyone is holding a hope: those who have goods hope to meet someone who knows the goods, and those who do not have goods hope to meet a blind person, and it is good to be able to make a fortune!
Yuan Xing is estimated to be the most unpopular person in this market, if the stall owners can vote for a blacklist to refuse some people to enter the market, then Yuan Xing will definitely be able to squeeze into the top ten of the blacklist.
Often, after some inconspicuous things are taken by him at a low price, he can sell them at a good price on Bolan Street next door, but there is no way, who calls him a vicious eye, and he can bargain! Now he is hesitant to buy something from a stall, and the stall owner is hesitant and hesitant, for fear that he will be picked up by the bastard in front of him again! Yuan Xing himself was embarrassed, although he repeatedly explained that this thing was just an ordinary road goods, but the people of the sea had been made out of psychological fear by Yuan Xing, and the more he explained, the more he felt that what he had in his hand was an underestimated good product.
"Can you still communicate properly?" The indignant Yuan Xing put down the gyroscope in his hand and left the stall, it seems that he will come to buy things again with a hood in the future, and the aura of a profiteer has been firmly put on his head. Well, I can't take it off, I can't take it off in my life!
"Hey, kid, didn't your mother tell you, don't touch this truth if you don't pay" The white-bearded old man smoked a cigarette from Haimin and warned Yuan Xing, who kept touching his stall with both hands.
"System Identification, Broccoli Grass Species, No Level"
"System identification, windmill flower seed, no level"
"System Identification, Dylan Grass Seed, No Level"
"System Identification, Three-Star Grass Seed, Level F---"
"System Recognition, Tabby Rose, Level F---"
"System Recognition ~~~"
"Ding, ask, do you want to recycle?"
Among the many strange seeds, there are actually a few seeds that are F-level recyclable seeds, which makes Yuan Xing overjoyed, Yuan Xing plays with these dice-sized seeds, reminding himself that he must hold back, not to be exposed, if he lets others see that he is bound to get these seeds, then he will be like a fish on a chopping board, let others slaughter!
"Hey, do you want to buy it or not, don't touch it if you don't buy it, give it back to me!" The white-bearded old man watched Yuan Xing constantly rubbing his goods with his cobweb-tattooed palm, not to mention buying, and he was reluctant to leave for a long time, so he couldn't help but feel on fire in his heart and asked loudly.
"Daddy Harry, I'll buy it, can't I buy it?I've packed it here, thirty copper narr, how about it?" Yuan Xing didn't want to expose his goal, and packing and buying was his usual trick, mixing and matching all high-level grass seeds and buying them together among non-level grass seeds, and the price was even cheaper than buying a single grass seed!
"Boy, I just love to see you pretend to be X seriously," said the white-bearded Harry as he stared at Yuan Xing with a smile.
"Ah~~?this?" This sudden slap in the face made Yuan Xing speechless.
"The other thirty-two seeds, each of which you pinch in your hand for no more than two seconds, but the four larger seeds, you pinch and pinch them, and by the time you put them down, you pinched these four seeds for a total of fifty-six and seventy-eight seconds" Harry smiled and pointed out the key point, "Now you want to play a shot trick with me?
"This dead old man, don't you understand the truth of seeing through and not telling the truth?
"Okay, I admit it, these four are good things, I want to buy them, you can make a price!"
"That's right, doing business is to be honest with each other! Since you said so, Dad, I'll tell you the price, here are thirty-six grass seeds, no two prices, thirty copper narls each! No counteroffer, no single sale, a total of ten silver and nine bronze narls!"
"Deal!" If you continue to entangle, you can only bring humiliation on yourself, it is better to let this old man take advantage of it, so that you can take the initiative in the next action.
"Hmm~~" Father Harry almost choked on a mouthful of water, this is a "profiteer" Yuan Xing! How could he agree so simply? Could it be that the value of these seeds is far higher than his own quotation? But no matter what, Harry will not raise any objections, because the price is proposed by himself, and the coins sold by these grass seeds are enough for him to have food and clothing for several years!
After the delivery, Yuan Xing resisted the urge to immediately recycle the seeds with the system, because it is not a complete plant, if it is recycled in this way, the points must be very low, plus he still has some experience in cultivating plants, so it is the best way to put it in the bag and take it back to study and cultivate it!
"Daddy, how about it, I'm satisfied with the price!" asked Yuan Xing, who had a painful face.
"What if you are not satisfied? Even if you go to Bowlan Street and sell a gold coin, that is your ability!" revealed his dissatisfaction with Yuan Xing, a "profiteer".
"You~~" It seems that this big hat really can't be taken off for the rest of your life!
"Daddy, where did your seed come from?" Yuan Xing asked curiously, on the Seven Seas, seeds are a rare thing, even if they fall into the sea from the land island, they are basically swallowed by the fish very quickly.
"Boy, it's very rude to inquire about other people's channels!" Harry glanced at Yuanxing and said slowly.
"Eh, I forgot about this stubble~" Yuan Xing, who was busy, took out another silver coin.
The shiny silver coin whetted Harry's appetite exceedingly, and the money could make the old adage of the mill be applied anytime and anywhere.
"If you were so sincere every time, others wouldn't call you~~~ Haha, okay, don't talk about these useless things, I'll tell you as much as I know, anyway, I won't go to that ghost place for the second time~~" After putting away the silver coins, Harry smiled and was ready to tell Yuan Xing all the information about the seeds.
"Hmph, dead old man, don't let me down~~~" Yuan Xing swallowed his saliva, if the origin of the seed is clear, then according to common sense, good things are indispensable, and even this old man can get out of the way, it shouldn't be as dangerous as Garo Giant Island~~~
"Haha, this time it's really going to be developed~~"
