Chapter 0386 - Copying the Bottom
At the west gate of Cold Wind City, a team of horse-drawn vehicles slowly drove away with heavy loads.
On horseback, the members of the Longlegs family were full of hatred, and looked at the 'rebels' opposite with indifferent eyes. Old Arad also kept a straight face, and was most vigilant against the long-legged family who left the city.
The hatred between the two sides is knotted, and today's truce is just to accumulate strength and adjust subordinates. When they meet on the battlefield again, the two sides will not die.
Zhou Qingfeng freed his hands from the ruins of the Supervision Department and immediately engaged in construction in the 'rich and strong leader'. He also used a lot of money to buy materials, from eating, drinking, and lasa to building materials and people.
Old Arad wants to thank Zhou Qingfeng, because with this young man, the 'rebels' of Cold Wind City can be reunited. Just a 'Pinduoduo' spell is enough to resolve a lot of hatred.
As for the long-legged family, they can't hold on. Two-thirds of their descendants were not in the city. After the rebellion, there were signs of instability among the scattered retainers.
Trapped both internally and externally, Fils. Longlegs handed over a third of his family's territory in exchange for the remnants of his personnel and supplies to leave Coldwind City safely. Old Arad also backed down half a step and allowed the long-legged family to take their possessions.
It's just that the whole family doesn't mean that they can move away. A large amount of family property has been hoarded in the city, and now there is not enough carriage to move away - Zhou Qingfeng was dismissed before, and he has bought all the transportation he can buy.
The current convoy out of town is only tentative. Valuable possessions still have to be transported away at one time.
Fils. Long legs didn't dare to retreat in batches. If Old Arad finds an opportunity to divide and surround him, the Long-legged family will have to be completely finished. All family members and property must leave Coldwind City together.
In addition to the expensive family property, some ordinary property can only be sold at a low price. Buyers are the enemy.
Outside the long convoy, there are several large tables at an intersection. Rubio returned to his profession as a profiteer, holding up a wooden horn and shouting: "Buy grain, cloth, furniture, building materials at a high price."
At present, the highest price in the city, once you miss it, you will regret it for life. If you have any property that needs to be discounted, we provide the most accurate estimation service. Instead of throwing away cheap traitors for nothing, it's better to make a fortune from traitors. ”
Old Arad rode a horse with several chiefs of the wizarding group, and just across the road he watched in a daze, and was confused by this group of profiteers who cut off their beards halfway.
The Longlegs family has been in business in Coldwind City for hundreds of years and has accumulated a huge fortune. Shops, goods, people, these things are going to be shipped away for months, Fils. Long legs can't wait even a few days.
The 'rebel' magnates, including the elder Arad, had long sharpened their knives, and Huo Huo was thinking about how to take advantage.
According to the agreement, the materials that the long-legged family could not transport were not allowed to be destroyed, and they must be left or sold. It's a great time to buy the bottom and go on a carnival. The 'rebel' magnates are wondering whether one fold is more conscientious or two folds are more merciful.
I know that Uncle Zhou doesn't recognize his six relatives in order to make money, and he has the strongest financial resources, so he takes out a lot of 'platinum coins' to purchase - aluminum-zinc alloy really has a little magical affinity, and the key is that the aluminum production of the other world is very small.
Less than gold.
The fluttering 'platinum coin' is an ordinary dime in Zhou Qingfeng's hand, but in the hands of a wizard from another world, it is a real magic metal.
Selling the usually expensive materials in half and then breaking the bones to the enemy is very unhappy for the long-legged family. But now the situation is stronger than people, and there is no one more than Victor. Hugo is a better buyer too.
The other 'rebel' magnates don't have enough cash in their hands, and they can't get hard currency if they want to. They could only watch Zhou Qingfeng send people to purchase on a large scale.
Jason stood in the ranks of the wizards and sighed inwardly—again, again. The same thing happened again. The previous time was also the same result, others fought to death, and Uncle Zhou ran out to pick peaches.
There is no way to take Zhou Qingfeng with the 'rebel' magnates, and all families have inextricable economic ties with this lord, and they all hope to continue to play 'Pinduoduo' at a low price.
This is really a double clamp on finance and business, obviously uncomfortable but helpless - being sold and paying for others.
At Rubio's table, the housekeeper of the Long-Legged House came to sell it with a thick book. A random page in the account book shows the daily necessities and commodities piled up in a warehouse inside and outside the city.
"Do you want to sell your flour for two copper coins a pound?" Rubio shook his head desperately, "It's impossible. ”
The old butler on the other side was so angry that his hair stood on end, and he scolded, "You have gone too far. This is the finest fine wheat flour, and usually costs more than five copper coins a pound. The 20,000 pounds of stock were all for the family master. ”
"So what?" The thin Rubio shrugged his shoulders and shook his whiskers with a grin, "Why don't you let your master eat these 20,000 pounds in one bite?" ”
The old butler was so angry that he pounded the table so hard that he couldn't open his mouth to eat Rubio. But he was angry for a long time, so he could only grit his teeth and shout: "How much are you willing to give?" ”
"A pound of copper coins, paid for platinum coins, a total of two hundred dollars." Rubio grinned and pulled over a cash box in his hand, which contained sealed 'platinum coins', "Sign the agreement now, and I'll pay immediately." ”
Pay immediately, this is Zhou Qingfeng's killer feature. Other powerful people may have a lot of property, but their liquidity is definitely not as good as Zhou Qingfeng's.
The old housekeeper has completed a number of transactions, and he also has a cash box at hand, which is the 'platinum coin' provided by Zhou Qingfeng. This thing is the 'Holy Light Machine' punched out with a stamping machine, and the machine is one when it clicks.
'Platinum Coins' look similar to arcade money. Because the material is aluminum-zinc, it is even lighter. At least the game currency should be dialed in the internal structure of the arcade, or made of stainless steel to ensure a certain quality.
20,000 pounds of fine flour for such 200 aluminum coins, Zhou Qingfeng is simply the most ruthless robber. But the old housekeeper of the long-legged family held back tears and completed the deal.
Both sides agreed, and family members immediately went to the delivery.
Old Arad on the other side of the intersection stared at Rubio with a gloomy face, not only did he see the long-legged family's wealth being bought by this black and thin profiteer, but he also saw the delivery personnel behind Rubio one after another.
The delivery of goods is not an easy task, and inventory weighing and clearing requires considerable knowledge and skills. The Longlegs family has been entrenched in Coldwind City for hundreds of years, and it has only cultivated so many family finances and clerks.
But Zhou Qingfeng is a barbarian who ran out of the Black Forest, and his subordinates are actually quite capable. Rubio was able to dock the entire transaction, and the delivery personnel sent out were also very neat, and there were no mistakes in the counting calculations.
This kind of talent reserve is comparable to few families in Cold Wind City.
They sold flour, cereals, cotton cloth, hecks, the clothes, hats, shoes and socks of the nobles, and the pots and pans of the slaves. In the end, some things were so cumbersome and worthless that they were simply thrown off cheaply****** like a mill outside the city, and sold for ten aluminium coins, along with the two donkeys in the mill and the servants who took care of them. Rubio went to take an inventory and found thousands of pounds of buckwheat in the mill waiting to be processed.
Another example is the several warehouses of the inspection office in the city, which are sold together with the slaves guarding the warehouses for only fifty aluminum coins. After the inventory, Rubio found a large amount of confiscated materials from the inspection department in the warehouse.
From carriages, horses, cattle and sheep to needles and threads, including hundreds of homeless people who were arrested and imprisoned, as well as tens of thousands of pounds of horse feed from the Inspection Bureau, no one recorded or managed it in a messy situation, all of which cheapened Zhou Qingfeng.
A family, a city, and a ruling system that was originally in operation were all bought by aluminum coins made under the stamping machine.
It's really a big deal!
