Chapter 96: Planning
Zhang Fan's request left the Transformation Realm City Lord speechless. As the saying goes, cutting off people's financial means is like killing their parents, so where is the problem of cutting off people's financial resources? If the general income of this trade is increased by three times, and some other hard means are forbidden, and the price remains unchanged? This is basically to cut off the original livelihood of more than 10,000 people. When such news spreads, there is no doubt that it will cause an uproar.
"Is three days enough? I'm here for some other important things to do. I can't wait for you too long. If it takes too long, then I think it is more effective and even deterrent to directly clean all parts of the city, and then set up a sign with rules in the center of the street... Zhang Fan saw that the Transformation Realm monk was a little silent, and said very directly.
"It should be enough, the big array in the city is still there. Three days later, at sunset, Brother Tai can come to the tower in the center of the city. Some martial arts people in the lower and lower cities will wait for Brother Tai at the tower array, but Brother Tai was able to show mercy to some real masters at that time, after all, the entire city still needs the most basic guard strength, and don't kill the other lower layers... After weighing it for a moment, the Transformation Realm Monk said solemnly.
Zhang Fan's spiritual power at this time has actually been able to cover the entire city, and he has also discovered some things, it turns out that there are indeed some doorways under the white pagoda in the center of the city? Of course, Zhang Fan doesn't think that there is anything in this city that can really threaten him: "That's natural: as long as I don't feel that there are no monks higher than you hiding in it, for most people in the martial arts, I won't easily open a big killing ring... ”
Subsequently, Zhang Fan first came to the original store of the Copper Guild and returned the four taels of gold worth three thousand taels of silver on the surface, which made the store who had suffered a lot of losses in other martial arts in the past feel very moved, and the previous shopkeeper couldn't help but give a thumbs up at this time and praised: "It's been almost thirty years in this industry, and the money borrowed by the master of the inner door can be returned according to the usual short-term interest of the people, which is something that has never been heard of... If there is anything we need help with in the future... ”
"There's something I want your help with right now ... At this time, Zhang Fan also said directly without taboo: "You can help me find a courtyard at least fifteen zhang away as soon as possible, and the extra interest before should be rented for about half a year temporarily!"
Hearing this, the shopkeeper couldn't help but look up at Zhang Fan a little: Sure enough, these inner masters will not give wealth easily. Of course, even so, just rent for half a year, instead of buying it immediately and letting others move out, there is still a lot of room for profit in addition to hundreds of taels of silver.
Zhang Fan continued: "Dare to ask: how many copperware are there that your copper guild intends to sell? Not counting copper coins and bronze, only brass utensils and even bronze statues, copper skins and other things? ”
Zhang Fan's words made the shopkeeper somewhat unclear. People in the rivers and lakes are generally generous, even if they are ordinary local snacks, they rarely use copper coins. Armor and even weapons are rarely made of copper, so what is this person planning to do when he plans to buy copper goods in large quantities?
"We have a lot of bronze and even lead-filled copper coins here, but if we talk about brass and pure copper, these things are smelting and fire intensive, and their use is relatively narrow. Even if our chamber of commerce is the leader of the copper business in and out of the city, the amount of idle copper that can be sold at any time does not exceed 110,000 catties... ”
Of course, Zhang Fan knew that there might not be only this number, but at this time he also smiled and said: "110,000 catties can also be, how about I pay 50 taels of gold including the freight? Saying that, Zhang Fan's subordinates who didn't mind too much took out the gold they carried.
Hearing this, the shopkeeper couldn't help but be excited: fifty taels of gold is worth 50,000 taels of silver here, and buying 110,000 catties of fine pure copper is definitely a big profit of six or seven percent? What's more: I actually paid the full amount in advance? There has never been such a happy person in the business field.
"That's no problem at all, Mr. is so refreshing, who in our whole industry dares to slack off?" The shopkeeper didn't dare to delay at this time, and hurriedly notified the dozen or so workers in the bank and two stewards to go to the general treasury and even each branch.
After Zhang Fan left the Bronze Guild, he found the Iron Industry Guild. Different from the Bronze Guild, the Iron Industry Guild and the Medicine Store and the Grocery Store in this city are the three giants with a deep martial arts background, which are stronger than the restaurant and even the Qinglou, and among the three giants of the guild, it is only the medicine store, and to some extent it is better than the grocery store. Just in the store, there are masters of the four products of the inner door secretly sitting in charge, and the ten core guards are all masters of the early stage of the inner door. Therefore, although the person in charge of secret vigilance saw that Zhang Fan was ostensibly a master of about four or five grades in the inner door, he was just a commercial courtesy.
"Your Excellency, please, if you need anything, you can go directly to the backyard to find Master Han... ”
Zhang Fan said disapprerovingly: "Forget about the weapons you have built, I came here to seek some of the best steel billets and want to know about the relevant situation." The steel billet above the standard of ordinary military steel used by the guards at the city gate with more than twenty-five times the strength, how much can you roughly provide in the iron industry hall in the entire city... ”
Zhang Fan's words made some of them unhappy, if it weren't for the fact that many people had the eyesight brought by the masters of the inner door, it could be seen that Zhang Fan seemed to be a quasi-first-class master of the inner door with four or five grades, maybe someone would have a seizure on the spot.
At this time, a master of the inner gate who was in charge of the affairs in charge of the hall and had a cultivation level similar to Zhang Fan's performance walked out, an old man who was more than half a hundred years old: "This friend, can you know what the concept is of weapons and even steel billets with 25 times the strength of ordinary military steel? Even if the standard of military steel is only those standing guard at the city gate?"
Zhang Fan had read the more detailed general knowledge of the mortal realm, so he didn't care: "After all, the mortal realm of the Boundless Continent is not the immortal realm of the same cultivator to completely cut off all contacts, let alone weapons and steel embryos with twenty-five times the strength of ordinary inferior military steel. I think even if it's forty times, then there's it, right?"
