68. Full acquisition

Li Xiang continued: "My words, please don't misunderstand that I am not asking you to release the slaves, but to 'sell' all your slaves to me at a price slightly higher than the market price. ”

This reassured the slave owners.

Since what Li wants to say is from now on, of course, it must be implemented immediately.

According to the "slave register" provided by the Slave Management Committee, there are more than 200,000 registered slaves in Rome, 248,000, and the current market price of each slave is about 2,000 Sesters (about 32,000 yuan).

As a result, the slave trade in Rome, which had been active, immediately came to a halt, and several major slave trading markets became empty, and slave owners and slave traders were united in their efforts to "sell".

In order to support the righteous act of the "divine messenger", on the first day of the announcement of the "total acquisition", Octavian took the lead in selling all the slaves in the palace.

Although the "emperor" took the lead, in this era when interests are above all else, no one will blindly follow this trend of "harming oneself and benefiting others."

In the week of the announcement, only one order was filled.

Years of experience in business told Li Xiang that if he spared no expense this time, it would be difficult to achieve his good deeds.

In desperation, Li Xiang had no choice but to raise the purchase price.

From this moment on, standing on the bulletin board of "comprehensive acquisition" in Caesars Square, the slave purchase price is like the announcement of great good news by a certain listed company today, and its stock price is of course a "price limit" a day, which makes people feel excited.

In less than a week, the purchase price of slaves soared from 2,000 sesters all the way up to 3,000 sesters.

At this time, at that time, if it was in the past, young and middle-aged slaves with professional skills could only be sold for 3,000 Sesters.

And now, Lee has come up with 3,000 Sesters, and even an old one has lost all his teeth, and he can't buy a slave who can't walk.

"Good people do it to the end, send Buddha to the west." Li Xiang had no choice but to bite it, and he was ruthless, doubling the purchase price to 4,000 Sesters.

A slave was sold for 4,000 Sesters, which was an unprecedented price since the founding of Rome.

For some middle-class slave owners, 4000 Sesters has surpassed its psychological price, and naturally chooses to "lose pounds on high prices", while for those slave traders who previously relied on the slave trade to eat and eat, they can double their profits in a short time, of course, they choose to "take profits".

However, to Li Xiang's surprise, he offered an ultra-high purchase price of 4,000 Sesters, but only purchased about 50,000 slaves, which was still 200,000 yuan away from the goal of "full acquisition".

After an unannounced visit, Li Xiang learned that the real reason why some slave owners still chose to "reluctant to sell" was because the "richest man in Rome" Bidula and Li Xiang sang a duet, relying on their own wealth and power, coercing or coercing some big slave owners in disguise to "reluctant to sell".

Li Xiang was very annoyed by this, and thought: In terms of wealth, now that he has become rich overnight, he can be regarded as a net worth of tens of billions, in terms of status, as a member of the Senate and the spokesperson of the "emperor", if you really want to fight with you Xidula, who is afraid of who!?

Therefore, according to the information on the list of slave owners, the big slave owners who "did not want to sell" slaves were visited one by one, and a great deal of ideological work was done.

"The emperor lives up to his hard work", Li Xiang's tongue was not in vain.

With the names of slave owners on the roster being erased one after another, it means that Li Xiang's "comprehensive acquisition" plan is about to be completed.

However, there was a lot of good things, and there was a name that never was erased from the list of slave owners.

Needless to say, everyone can guess that this person is Bidura, and he is also the largest slave owner in the city of Rome, with a total of nearly 10,000 slaves.

If Sidullah goes all the way to the dark, it means that these 10,000 slaves will never be free.

Li thought about how to get Sidullah to sell the slaves to him, but after thinking about it, he still couldn't think of an ideal plan.

Helpless, Li Xiang came to the bank of the Tiber River alone to relax.

Li Xiang's mobile phone played a random song, and at this time, it was adapted to "Love When You Die", "China's No. 1 Song" - "Dead Don't Sell".

Hearing this song, Li Xiang seemed to see the hateful Sidullah holding a microphone in his hand and singing to himself his own adaptation of the "slave version" of "Dead or Not Selling" in a broken gong voice

“… I won't sell it if I'm dead, and I won't sell it at a high price... If you die, you won't sell it, and if you don't get angry, I won't be happy..."

"Li Xiang." I don't know who shouted.

Li wanted to go with the prestige.

Sidura, Gaulje, and two bodyguards walked slowly.

Li Xiang said very politely: "How can I meet you anywhere?" ”

Sidullah smiled and said, "Prove that you and I are destined!" ”

"Don't be disgusted with me, what do I have to do with people like you, I don't want to see you at all."

When Sidullah heard this, she didn't get angry, and smiled slightly: "As the saying goes, 'Leave a line in everything, and see each other in the future'!"

Li thought about it for a moment and said, "What do you mean?" ”

"Although you have repeatedly opposed me and caused me to lose a lot of money, I am a natural person with a large belly, so I don't care about you."

"What the hell are you trying to say?"

"Then I'll get straight to the point."

"Speak quickly, don't waste my time.

"I can sell you all 10,000 slaves."

Li Xiang frowned and did not speak.

What kind of medicine is sold in Sidulla's gourd?

"Don't be surprised," Siddula continued, "I'm a businessman, and I don't want to fight for money. ”

"That's not right! As far as I know, some of the big slave owners who were reluctant to sell slaves in the past were more or less related to you. ”

Sidullah smiled and said, "What virtue do I have, and why should others listen to me!" You're right? ”

"Alright, alright! I don't want to hear your nonsense, so just say it! How much do all your slaves cost me? ”

"I like it."

Li Xiang thought to himself: Why is this birdman talking so much nonsense?

Sidullah continued, "If you are sincere about this business, then I will pay a fixed price..."

"50 million Sesters?"

Sidullah shook her head.

Li Xiang smiled slightly and said, "You won't give me a special price and charge me 5 million Sesters, right?" ”

"You're right, it's 5 million."

"5 million? The average slave is only 500 Sesters, how can it be so cheap? ”

"Huh! Don't get me wrong, I said 5 million, but not Sesters. ”

"That's 5 million dinaris?"

Sidullah smiled and said, "It's 5 million Oris!" ”
