The crowd and noise of people, the restless livestock, the smell of manure and food in the air. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoRoadside vendors sell food and hot water to traders entering the city. These merchants came all the way to Xinlinfen, and they were already hungry. This makes the business of these vendors very good.

Li Mu walked back to the side of the truck with a pile of food.

"I'm going to eat curry peanuts."

Shen Luoyan rummaged in his arms, took out a large bag of still hot peanuts, held them with his slender fingers, and ate them.

"Whew... It's been a long time since I've eaten curry peanuts, well, it's really delicious. ”

There was only simple barley in Larkin Bayde, and she hadn't had a snack in a long time.

Li Mu smiled and shook his head, took out a large bag of fried curry balls, threw them to Du Ge, who was sitting cross-legged and meditating, and handed the cream dumplings to Yuan Qi.

"Ahem!"

Although his face was covered by a burqa, Li Mu still felt Kate's very dissatisfied gaze. He reluctantly threw a bag of minced crepes to her.

Sitting in the wagon, he flicked a whip, and the mutant two-headed ox pulled the heavy wagon slowly forward.

The ground line no longer speaks of the same yellow wilderness, but is replaced by towering reinforced concrete buildings. This is the pearl of the Deccan Plateau, where more than three-quarters of the wealth of the entire Deccan Plateau is concentrated in the city. Of course, more than three-quarters of the evil lurks in the city.

Li Mu looked coldly at the most magnificent building on the horizon, even if he was separated by several kilometers, he could still see him clearly. It is the new Linfen landmark Jintailong Building. A group of top industrialists in the entire new Linfen have placed their enterprises there.

It is the core of the entire East Deccan Plateau, and every decision made under the Kim Tai Long building is very likely to cause a huge storm on the Deccan Plateau.

************

Outside the new Linfen Cotton Spinning Exchange, the Ocean Trading Company has a large number of warehouses here, and stevedores are busy unloading ginning and lint from containers and loading them into warehouses. When the ocean-going cargo ships arrived, they would be loaded and transported to Zhuxia Zhongzhou.

In the market, traders are busy completing transactions with representatives of various cotton buying companies. The strength of cotton purchasing companies is generally insufficient, and there are very few strong cotton purchasing and storage companies across the Deccan Plateau and Zhuxia Zhongzhou. They had to sell the cotton they bought from farmers and farmers to powerful ocean-going trading companies. These ocean-going trading companies are often inextricably linked to the crown family, and have distribution stations in various territories in Zhuxia Zhongzhou, which can easily digest tens of thousands of tons of cotton.

The Cotton Spinning Exchange provides a trading venue for these cotton buying companies and ocean trading companies. In the hall of the market, there is a huge projection screen that constantly beats with information about the supply of cotton, including the quality, origin and price of cotton. Traders at ocean trading companies buy cotton when they see the right price.

This is a profession that requires a lot of vision and experience. Because of the climate and the plundering of predators, the price of cotton is not static, but extremely volatile. The price of the same quality of cotton may vary between morning and afternoon. Traders must be well aware of the market, supply and demand, and the situation in the Deccan Plateau as a whole, in order to be able to buy cotton at the most suitable price.

Because of the rebellion of the Hindustani, the price of cotton rose in response, and the price on the exchange was almost one price a day. The high price of cotton even attracted some officials of the Governor's Palace and the owners of the estates. They also invested a lot of savings to speculate on the price of cotton, which caused the whole atmosphere of the exchange to fall into a frenzy.

The three truckloads of sheepskins that Li Mu transported to Xinlinfen are far from the minimum number of transactions on the cotton spinning exchange. You can't even get through the doors of the exchange. However, there are also many acquisition companies outside the exchange that set up acquisition points to buy the goods of these merchants.

These companies also acquire other goods. Li Mu drove the ox cart to stop in front of the door of a Hede storage house and stepped out of the ox cart. It is a long-established storage company that has been in the Deccan Highlands for more than 30 years.

A gray-haired person in charge walked out of the store with a look of surprise. Now that the Hindustani are fighting fiercely with the army on the border, and Lakimbed is overrun by the mob of the Brotherhood of Freedom, the wool from the west to New Linfen has been cut off. Although sheepskin is not the main product of the Deccan Plateau, it can still be sold at a good price when it is transported to Zhuxia Zhongzhou.

The person in charge pulled out a piece of wool, examined it carefully, and nodded with satisfaction. Although these sheepskins may seem to have been stored for a long time, the tanning technique is very good, and the quality is not bad.

He nodded, and immediately a group of quick workers climbed into the wagon and counted the sheepskins.

The person in charge pressed the calculator and said to Li Mu.

"Yes, these three carts of sheepskin, a total of seventy-five yuan, we are under the hands of De, this price is already very fair, if you are not satisfied, you can go to another house to have a look."

This price is indeed very fair, if it was in the past, these three carts of sheepskins could only be sold for more than 30 yuan.

Seeing that Li Mu agreed to the transaction, the person in charge immediately happily took out an invoice from the store and opened a list for Li Mu.

"It's... Didn't you always pay off money and goods before, why did you suddenly change your credit account now? ”

"Let me tell you, now you go to other trading companies and see if any of them are cash-traded. Now the price of wool is changing every day, and people in the city who have a little money have invested their assets in hoarding wool, how can they have cash to buy your wool. ”

Hearing the words of the person in charge, a glimmer of light flashed in Li Mu's eyes.

"It's so powerful, what is the price of wool now?"

A smug smile appeared on the face of the person in charge.

"A month ago, the price of new raw wool was only 15 yuan a ton, and the price of good quality long raw wool was only 17 yuan and 51 tons. Now the price of new raw wool has reached 35 yuan, and the price of long raw hair has reached 47 yuan. As long as the Hindustani were still at war with the army, the price of this wool could not fall. Fools don't take their own money to harvest cotton. ”

He has bought wool with all the savings he has saved for 30 years, waiting for the price to rise sharply and make a lot of pension money. With the money, he can buy a ticket to Zhuxia Zhongzhou and leave Xinlinfen, a place where birds don't.

Li Mu shook his head, took the invoice, and drove the ox cart that had been loaded and unloaded and left here. (To be continued.) )
