Chapter 384: The Xia Family's Crisis
"One, two, three......"
The golden tickets kept turning over in Xia Yan's hands. Although I don't value money, this feeling of counting money is really good.
Moreover, since Xia Yan knew that building a god-level weapon required a certain amount of gold power, Xia Yan's emphasis on money has also increased a lot.
To create an artifact, you not only need to fuse the necessary god stones, but also need to ingest the gold element in the gold coin, that is, the power of gold. Xia Yan, it is still unknown how many gold coins are needed to create a divine sword to absorb enough gold power, but Xia Yan feels that this will definitely not be a small amount.
Therefore, Xia Yan is also deliberately accumulating his wealth.
In Xia Yan's package, there were more than 6.6 million golden tickets. Fragmentary, Xia Yan didn't remember it clearly.
"Three million ......"
"Three million eight hundred thousand ...... 3,860,000 ......"
After counting the last golden ticket, Xia Yan exhaled slightly, this Spirit Sect blood wolf actually carried such a huge amount of golden tickets on his body. Three hundred and sixty, all of which are golden tickets of 10,000 denominations.
As for the small denominations and scattered gold coins, there are not many.
This blood wolf wanders between cities, and all his belongings are naturally carried with him. And the golden ticket, naturally, has to be of the largest denomination so that it can be carried around. As for the odd and bits of it, it doesn't take much, a few hundred gold coins are enough for ordinary use.
Xiaoqing watched Xia Yan count these large-denomination golden tickets from the side, and his mouth opened slightly, his eyes full of surprise.
Xiaoqing, have you ever seen so many golden tickets? Each of these is a denomination of 10,000, and if you take out one casually, it is enough for ordinary people to spend a lifetime.
"Three million eight thousand, plus six million six hundred thousand, I now have more than ten million gold coins in cash. Isn't it easy to return to Yushui City and clean up a small Xi family?" Xia Yan thought to himself, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Putting away the golden ticket, Xia Yan looked at the other items.
"Jade Box Pill!" Xia Yan picked up three jade boxes of different colors in the carriage, "This one should be the Rejuvenation Pill, the Seventh Grade or the Eighth Grade Rejuvenation Pill." ”
"This one should be the Divine Concentration Pill, the seventh-grade or eighth-grade Divine Concentration Pill!"
"The Last ......"
Xia Yan frowned and looked at it, but for a while, he didn't judge what kind of pill this one was. If Xia Yan can't judge, it is likely to be a special elixir.
The eighty-one pills recognized by the mainland, the first-grade pills, Xia Yan had all refined them with his own hands, so he could naturally recognize the pills. Although there will be differences in fineness and color of different grades of pills, there will be certain similarities in smell and color. Even if the herbs used are different, there are still traces to follow.
After identifying it for a while, Xia Yan still didn't recognize it.
"This pill red has purple gas in it, and the smell is as light as water, and the surface is shiny like beautiful jade, it must not be ordinary. When you have the chance, let's check it again. ”
Xia Yan nodded slightly and put away the three pills.
"And a few tokens, gems ......"
After checking it, there was nothing special about the rest, Xia Yan put away all the mess. As for these gems and other things that have no practical use, returning to Jade Water City can let the family find a way to deal with them.
"Brother Xia Yan, why did that person carry so much money?" Xiao Qing lightly opened her lips and asked curiously.
"I don't know, but the more money he brings, the more welcome I am. Hehe, now the money is mine. Xia Yan said with a smile.
"Hmm!" Xiao Qing weighed his head a little, his eyes lit up, and then he looked a little nervous, "But that person is so fierce, and he looks very powerful, and the carriage was broken by him all at once." ”
Xiaoqing was not a cultivator, and he didn't know how strong that blood wolf's strength was. However, at that time, even the sturdy carriage was completely destroyed at once, and Xiaoqing certainly understood that the strength of the blood wolf was amazing.
"Hehe, no matter how powerful that person is, he has already been killed by me. Xiaoqing, don't worry. Xia Yan looked at Xiaoqing and said a word of relief.
"Hmm......" Xiaoqing nodded.
.......................................................................................... In the courtyard attached to the Xia family, the council hall!
Patriarch Xia Feilong, Great Elder Xia Lai, Third Elder Xia Changhe, and other elders all gathered here.
Quiescence!
In the hall, for a long time, no one spoke. Everyone's face looked unusually solemn. It was as if even the air was going to condense, and everyone was a puppet, motionless.
"Dada~"
Suddenly, there was a clear sound of fast steps from outside the door, and then, a Xia family's outer courtyard steward walked in from outside the council hall, with a hint of panic on his face.
"Huhuhu~"
The steward, gasping continuously, his chest rose and fell violently, although the sky was still a little cold, but his face was covered with sweat, and his body was trembling slightly.
"What's the situation, can we get the goods we need from the Fortune Gathering Merchant?" Xia Feilong asked in a heavy voice.
The steward bit his lip and shook his head.
"The patriarch, the man who gathers wealth and trades, will not give us the goods, they say......" the steward paused, "they said that the Xi family had already bought all the goods we needed, and they would not sell them to us." ”
Since two months ago, the Xia family's purchase channel suddenly began to break inexplicably. At first, the Xia family thought it was just an accident, but as time went by, they gradually discovered that someone was secretly doing something.
After the Xia family sent someone to check, they knew that the Xi family and the Wang family collaborated to make ghosts.
However, Xia Feilong and several elders were puzzled, how could the Xi family and the Wang family have such huge financial support?
You must know that those partners who have been doing business with the Xia family for a long time have closed the door to the Xia family's business.
In this way, the goods circulating in Xiajiafang City gradually decreased. Even the merchants who rented the Xia family's shops in Fang City could not get enough supplies of goods.
In less than a month, the merchants in Xiajiafang City have been reduced by more than half, and all of them have gone to Xijia and Wangjiafang City.
And today, Xiajiafang City is almost unsustainable. Many of the markets in the towns below have been forced to close, and the Xia family has had to sell some of them.
In the end, these ways of selling ended up inexplicably in the hands of the Xi family and the Wang family.
After that, although the prices of the items sold by the Xia family did not change, the people who bought them suddenly disappeared. It turned out that in the Xi family's market, the same goods were lower. In this way, the Xia family must also reduce the price, otherwise, the Xia family's Fang Market in Yushui City will be forced to close.
The source of the goods is affected and the price is inflated. The price of the goods sold was depressed, and as a result, the crisis of the Xia family became more and more serious.
Not long ago, the Wang family suddenly broke off cooperation with the Xi family, and returned the Fang City that occupied the Xia family to the Xia family, of course, the Xia family needed to repay a certain amount of gold coins. However, the patriarch of the Wang family was very polite and said that he could wait for the convenience to repay the money spent by the Wang family when they purchased the market.
Although the Xia family didn't know why the Wang family suddenly changed their attitude, this was undoubtedly good news.
However, even so, the Xia family couldn't last long. In the market, many businesses have closed, and there are even fewer customers.
"Jucai Commercial Bank is also closed to us!" Xia Feilong sneered.
"Smack~"
Xia Feilong stood up and slapped the table fiercely, "Unthankful! Wealth Gathering Firm, if it weren't for my Xia family, it would have been gone a long time ago." Now that the Xia family is in trouble, they actually do such a thing!
Xia Feilong gritted his teeth and turned pale with anger.
"Bastards of the Fortune Gathering Firm!"
"That old immortal thing, ungrateful!"
Several elders were very angry. In the past, the relationship between Jucai Commercial Bank and the Xia family was very good, and when Jucai Commercial Bank encountered a huge predicament, it was the Xia family who let them out of the predicament. And now, they actually did such a thing, no wonder the Xia family will have an atmosphere.
"It's useless to talk about it now, let's figure out how to deal with it. Now the Xia family's warehouse inventory is completely empty. If we can't buy it anymore, then we can only close the market. ”
"After the closure of Fang City, the Xia family will no longer be able to gain a foothold in Yushui City, and it is likely that they will be forced to survive in the towns below. The third elder, Xia Changhe, took a deep breath, turned his eyes to look at the elders and patriarchs, and said slowly.
"This is not the biggest crisis, the biggest crisis is that the Xi family is holding on. If we were forced into town, it would be easier for them to deal with us. The words of the three elders made everyone's faces change.
Jucai Commercial Bank has closed the door to the Xia family, no matter how angry it is, it is useless and cannot solve the problem. Now, it's time to find a way to find a new way to buy goods. As for some of the purchase channels in Purple Leaf City, they have long been interrupted.
"Xi Potian, it's so ruthless!" Xia Feilong exhaled and said word by word, "I don't know, who is behind the Xi family who has such huge energy and such huge financial resources!"
You must know that forcing the Xia family to the current situation may require at least millions of gold coins. Otherwise, those merchants would not directly refuse the Xia family's business.
Businessmen, although they focus on profit. But relationships built over the years often have a role to play as well. can make those businessmen completely cut off business with the Xia family, and the Xi family will inevitably invest a lot of money to let those businessmen get huge benefits, so that they don't care about the Xia family's business at all.
And relying on the Xi family alone, they definitely don't have such ability. Behind the Xi family, there must be a larger force. Moreover, this force now wants to let the Xia family end up and expel the Xia family from Yushui City.
"Patriarch, Fang City must be closed. The current Fang market, whether it is open or not, it doesn't seem to matter anymore. An elder said helplessly.
"No!" the Great Elder said loudly, "If Fang Yushui City Fang City is closed, then we may never be able to reopen it again!"
Great Elder Xia Lai, that's right, once the Fang City is announced to be closed, it will be very difficult to reopen.
"What should we do then? Now our family doesn't have any funds to invest!" the elder asked rhetorically.
Now the family, relying on the production of the following counties, can barely make the family meet the necessary expenses. But if you want to invest in the market, it is obviously inadequate. And even if you can grit your teeth and invest 100,200,000 gold coins, it's useless.
