Chapter 36 Identification of Ores
Chengtie Town is particularly lively today, the chambers of commerce from several major capitals have successively transported the materials urgently needed by the town into the town, and the major chambers of commerce have their shops here, and the goods can be sold as long as they are put on the shelves.
In addition, there are purchase points set up at each counter, and often the people in the town have just sold the iron ore, and the guys in the shops will receive all kinds of dazzling goods and exchange the gold coins one by one.
This practice is common in all major chambers of commerce.
The people in the town are not afraid to spend money, and some iron mines will be bought as long as there are good things. This is also the reason why the major chambers of commerce flock to it, and the dark iron ore is used in a wide range of uses, whether it is large as war equipment, armor weapons, or as small as the kitchen knife used in the kitchen of every dignitary. It is a profitable thing to buy goods from other places at a low price and sell them here at a high price.
The predators in the army also regard this land as a treasure, and in addition to sending troops to garrison it, they will send a group of troops to mine here every six months.
In addition to the high military salary, it is also regarded as a place to train the combat power of the army, and every time the soldiers in the army hear about the change of guard here, they are distressed.
However, this is also one of the reasons why the soldiers of the Roewe Empire are stronger than other empires, and the royal family praised the head of the army for this approach, in addition to reducing taxes, they also set up an armament factory to purchase low-cost black iron ore, and then create black iron armor, blades and siege weapons to supplement the mining troops.
Although it is a little bitter, there is money to take, strength to boil, and good swords and good armor to use, which is also the reason why mining has become a fragrant bait for generals in the army to compete.
And the warrior guild has also set up a warrior branch here, with an elder at the level of the king of war stationed, while recruiting low-level mercenaries to absorb fresh blood, while sending out tasks to collect high-level black iron ore, low-level mercenaries are endless, the reason is: although the reward for hunting monsters in the Tianmu Deep Forest is high, but the danger is also high, who knows if he will be able to come back tomorrow after receiving the task today.
But it's different here, as long as you endure hardships here, you can receive money and guild points by handing in the ore according to the regulations, in order to level up as soon as possible and better enjoy the benefits of the guild, low-level warriors have also joined the mining industry.
The Blacksmith Guild has branches all over the continent, and the main meeting is in Duanmu City, and the reason why it does this is to collect all kinds of rare metals, rare quenching materials, and its business scope is from Warcraft materials to rare plants and trees.
The Blacksmiths' Guild is well-known, and both warriors and army generals have a great demand for high-quality weapons and armor.
Therefore, it is only natural for the Blacksmith Guild to establish a branch here, after all, dark iron is difficult to smelt, and only a blacksmith can turn dark iron ore into sharp weapons and strong armor.
The magician did not set up a branch here, but earned a lot of money by selling potions, mining is a tiring job, and it is inevitable that there will be injuries to the bones, so being injured means buying potions, and the scarcity of concentrates also makes the magic guild focus on earning gold coins, and does not buy a large number of ores.
Han Feng walked on the gravel road of the town, looked at the hawkers, and looked at the flow of people who had just exchanged money and goods from the Chamber of Commerce, and sighed from time to time, "The world is bustling, all for profit, and the world is bustling, all for profit."
It is the huge profit of the dark iron ore that makes countless people rush for it, thinking of the dark iron concentrate in his ring, Han Feng can't help but be satisfied with his achievements this month, the entire hundred meters of space is full of dark iron concentrate, these are the high-content concentrate that he separated with his spiritual power.
Don't know what price you can sell for today?
"Where is the ore generally handled in the village sold?" Han Feng asked as he turned back to one of the guards
"Returning to the eldest prince, the ore produced in the village generally has to be delivered to the Yiyang Commercial Bank, because the Yiyang Commercial Bank is one of the four major chambers of commerce of the Roewe Empire, in addition to collecting mixed iron ore, it is also responsible for identifying the ore grade, and has formulated a method of different grades and different prices for different grades, which is different from the low-price purchase of some grades of other commercial banks, so the village has a lot of trust in Yiyang Commercial Bank, and the production is handed over to it. ”
"The other firms are all buying at low prices?"
For the practice of low-price acquisition, Han Feng hated it, in his previous life, Han Feng worked hard to earn money and was barely supported after a day of hard work, for the people at the bottom, Han Feng has always thought that he is one of them, and he had no ability to complain about it before, but now it is different, so Han Feng decided that all the ore will be handed over to the Yiyang Chamber of Commerce, and there is no doubt that the practice of the Yiyang Chamber of Commerce is very in line with Han Feng's appetite and won the favor.
"Look, the people from Hanjia Village are here, there should be high-quality ores to sell this time, right?" A hawker saw Han Feng and a few people walking towards the door of the Chamber of Commerce.
"No, Hanjia Village sits on the entire Qiping Mountain, and the back mountain is a treasure, but it is said that Hanjia Village is afraid of destroying the ancestral vein, so they insist on letting the iron mine be excavated dozens of miles away, but they own the entire treasure mine. ”
"That's no way, I didn't even see a figure here before, but then Hanjia Village discovered the ore vein and then it prospered, this is what people deserve, let's do business." After all, Hanjia Village has the existence of the Emperor of War, and it is a character who will be shocked when he stomps his feet. ”
"No, the people in Hanjia Village seem to be going to Yiyang Commercial Bank, and the benefits can't be obtained by the Yiyang Commercial Bank, so hurry up and notify the big shopkeeper, and we will also join in the fun." The spies of the various trading houses said to their spies.
Han Feng walked into the Yiyang Commercial Bank, and as soon as he entered the Commercial Bank, a plaque was hung in front of him, with four big characters written in hand, and a line of inscriptions on the pillars on both sides of "Harmony and Wealth".
I saw that the pillar on the left read, "Open the door to welcome a thousand blessings from all over the world".
On the right pillar reads, "Close the door and accept thousands of miles".
"It's a good match." Han Feng said appreciatively
"This son, I don't know if it's the first time I've come to this firm?" a little girl asked Han Feng with a grin
"It's the first time, I don't know how you know?" Han Feng said
"This couplet is not hung here, but the emperor's own inscription that will be hung at the entrance door of the mainland branch of the firm, as long as it is an old customer, everyone is familiar with this story, and the prince should be here for the first time, so there will be this question," the little girl said
"I don't know what Childe needs, the goods of this firm are from all over the mainland, there are many types, and we should be able to provide any needs from Childe. ”
"Well, let's talk about your method of buying iron ore here. See what the difference is from other chambers of commerce?"
"Childe, please!" The little girl heard Han Feng ask about the purchase of iron ore, so she took Han Feng to the iron ore counter.
"There are different appraisers here, if it is a general iron ore, it will be purchased according to 100 catties of 50 gold, if it is a dark iron ore according to the grade, there are three grades of initial grade, medium grade and fine product, the price of the initial product is 100 catties of 200 gold coins, the middle grade is 100 catties of 600 gold coins, and the fine product is 1000 catties of 1000 gold coins."
"Oh, then ask the appraiser to identify what grade my ore is?" Han Feng took out a piece of prepared dark iron ore and said to the little girl, "Okay, son, please wait, I will ask the appraiser to come out and identify it for you." ”
A white-haired old man walked out from behind the counter, engaged in the identification industry for more than 30 years, Wang Bo practiced a good look, no matter what kind of ore in the mainland, Wang Bo is like a few treasures, just walked out of the counter Wang Bo was attracted by the concentrate taken out by Han Feng.
As a pyrite, the biggest problem is how to separate the other associated ores mixed in the ore, the smelting technology of the continent has only developed for hundreds of years, only the high-level earth magician can separate the associated ore through the separation of spiritual power, but who is willing to spend spiritual power to separate the pyrite that is only cherished by warriors?
For magicians, the magic core is more eye-catching, which also makes the ore on the continent basically miscellaneous ore, and the high-grade concentrate is the kind with less impurities, and the piece that Han Feng took out is pure dark iron ore because it is separated by spiritual power.
Uncle Wang was also very excited, with decades of experience, Uncle Wang could see at a glance that this ore was the real boutique.
"Who is this ore to identify, this is a real superb black iron ore, the value is immeasurable. ”
The little girl was stunned by Uncle Wang's words, knowing that the real business had come to the door, and she couldn't handle it at all, so she asked the guy to ask the shopkeeper to come to the front desk to contact her personally.
Leon Christopher is the third generation of the Leon family, whose ancestors were trusted by the royal family to take on orders from the royal family because they funded and followed the Duanmu family to unify the Roewe Empire.
By Christopher's generation, the family-run chamber of commerce had also made a name for itself across the continent, and the elders of the family carefully selected the heads of each generation in line with the principle of preferring lack to abundance.
Christopher's generation has a total of 6 children, Christopher is the third, so he was sent out to experience, and only those who really guide the lifeblood of the family will be appointed by the family elders, so the competition is very fierce.
Yiyang firms are all over the territory of the Roewe Empire, and every year they will change their locations from time to time for several candidates to operate, and they will be evaluated at the end of the year, and only those who really bring wealth and connections to the family will be awarded quasi-candidates, and such elections will be held for a total of 7 years, and the ultimatum will rule that the head of the family will get the most votes.
Today is the second year, Christopher's first year results are mediocre, and if he doesn't work hard today, he will gradually get farther and farther away from the head of the family, and in the end, he will not be able to get the position of the head of the family.
This spring, Christopher was randomly selected for training, Christopher was drawn to Chengtie Town, the largest black iron ore production area in the empire, and the annual turnover accounted for one-tenth of the family income, so Christopher also attached great importance to this experience, although the wealth brought by each place could not be compared with other brothers and sisters, but Christopher identified the ore for others, and gave him the acquisition according to the rating It won him great connections and praise.
Today, Christopher was counting the profits from the spring business and the production of fine ore, and his face was cloudy, and the other three chambers of commerce in the town, including the garrison, were all in the business of buying the iron ore, and judging from their recent actions, most of the ore was also bought by them.
If this continues, his business here will definitely not be as good as other places, recently he has been thinking of better ideas, but due to various restrictions can not be implemented, is this year the family assessment himself is going to be the last place?
