346: What is profiteering?

Aslan had just stepped through the door of the city hall when the secretary general of the city government hurried over.

"Your Excellency. The people who came before are here again, those from Julu City and the southern provinces, and they are now waiting for you in the parlor of the Duke's Palace. There are also many people from the Chamber of Commerce. "The secretary general is a who is over thirty and a half years old, although the charm still exists, but it is more than a little worse than the Countess of Stimbergen, but her ability is very outstanding, she is the first batch of female civil servants in Feitian City, and she is also the first batch of women who can hold up half a day.

Aslan's eyes narrowed, "Hmph, the first fish is hooked." Now let them spit out everything that swallowed our Violet Principality before. However, you go back and tell them first, I still have something to do, and I'll go to them later. ”

"Yes. ”

Aslan smiled and looked at Iverson next to him, "Wait a minute, we have a big business." ”

"Yes. ”

Inside the living room.

At this time, there were a lot of people here, and they all had anxious looks on their faces.

"I didn't expect so many people to come. Sanchez said with a calm face.

"Really. I didn't expect that we would come to buy food from that guy now. Sandil clenched his fists and said angrily.

"Alright. Now the entire empire is going to have the most food here. Because of the disaster, the farms and farms in the various territories of the empire must have been damaged, and it will take at least two months to fully recover, and those people in these two months will have to eat. So both we and those businessmen already know the preciousness of food at this moment. Sanchez said helplessly.

Little by little, time passed.

The people in the living room were already starting to get a little impatient.

"I'm. He must have done it on purpose to keep us waiting so long. ”

"Alright. Now we can only endure it. Sanchez looked at Sandiel, who was already visibly angry next to him.

Stomp and tread

At this moment, a sound of footsteps came.

"Your Excellency. We are here to buy grain, and I am willing to pay five times the price for your grain. ”

"Five times, I'm willing to use eight times. ”

............

Aslan chuckled.

Five, eight?

These merchants have really forgotten how they treated the Violet Principality before.

"Iverson. ”

"Yes. Iverson nodded, and he waved his hand behind him.

A group of soldiers gathered around and stopped the merchants, and set up a table in front of Aslan, along with a stack of papers.

"Alright. I know your purpose. Don't you just want to buy food? Of course I'd love to sell it to you, but I want you to come one by one, and you'd better line up, you know. If it's the noisy ones, I don't mind throwing them out. Aslan clapped his hands and said.

"Yes, yes. ”

All of a sudden all the merchants fell silent and lined up in a neat line.

"The first. Aslan looked at the man standing in front of him.

"Lord Duke, we have been doing cotton cloth business with the Duchy of Violet, and this time we want to buy grain in large quantities. The man said flatteringly.

"That's the Cotton Silk Chamber of Commerce. ”

"Yes. Yes. ”

Aslan's eyes narrowed, and he pulled one out of the stack of papers next to him.

"I can sell it to you, but at most I can only buy you 100,000 catties. ”

100,000 catties? The cotton cloth boss gritted his teeth, 100,000 catties are also grain.

"100,000 catties, 100,000 catties. I want it. I'll give you the Magic Crystal Card right now. ”

"Wait, wait. I haven't said the price yet. The corners of Aslan's face and mouth pulled up slightly, "Thirty times the original price of grain." ”

"Thirty times, Lord Duke, your price is too high, this ...... This ......" The cotton boss's face changed suddenly.

The faces of the other merchants changed.

"The price is high? Didn't you directly increase the cotton cloth you sold fifteen times before? Isn't that expensive? Aslan said with a smile.

"But......" The cotton boss clenched his fists.

Thirty times. This is equivalent to buying 100,000 catties of grain now, and he needs to spend money that could have bought 3 million catties of grain.

"Alright. I'm in a hurry. So please you better hurry up and buy it if you like to buy it or not. Of course, if you don't have enough money, I can let you use your cotton cloth to pay for it, but the price of cotton cloth can only be twice as much, after all, it is now after the catastrophe, I can still allow you to increase a little. Aslan smiled and tapped his fingers lightly on the table.

The cotton boss stood there thinking for a long time.

He gritted his teeth: "Okay." I...... I bought these 100,000 catties of grain. I add all my cotton. "Although the price of cotton cloth will also rise now, nothing will be higher than the price of food.

What's more, Feitian City has always been the most in the empire in terms of cloth production, and most of the time, this cotton cloth boss still buys and sells in Feitian City to other places, at this time, the reason why Aslan still wants to blackmail him is that the strategic reserves of Feitian City are insufficient, especially in the following period, food is a big problem, but heating and resettlement should not be underestimated, which requires a large amount of cloth.

After this catastrophe, Aslan has decided to industrialize all the enterprises under its name, increase the production of cloth, and do not hesitate to impact the entire cloth market.

The owners of the chamber of commerce extorted by Aslan all have a purpose, and those merchants with use value will sell food, as for those chambers of commerce that are not favored by Aslan, I am sorry, this price will continue to double again, or even more.

"Good. Iverson wrote it down, and let the gentleman take their cotton cloth and their money and go to our warehouse to order grain. Aslan said with a wave of his hand.

"Yes. Iverson nodded excitedly, feeling his writing hands tremble.

Thirty times, this is simply a huge profit in a profiteering.

Although in the end, these prices will be borne on the civilians who need food, but Iverson did not think about it that much, because he knew that in the current world, it would be enough to take care of himself.

At this point, the other merchants were inactive.

Thirty times the price, it really scared them.

At this time, Alstom walked over, and he looked at Aslan with a smile: "Lord Duke." We, the Hundred Refining Chamber of Commerce, are willing to pay thirty times the price, but this amount can be increased a little bit. ”

"The quantity can go up. Aslan smiled and nodded, "However, I think it is necessary to settle the account between us." ”

Wonderful!
