Chapter 153: The Industrial Empire (2)

Even if Zhang Changsheng didn't say it, Xiao Yuanxing knew who they were referring to. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoAnyone who knows a little about the Moon-Seeking Empire will definitely know that the Moon-Seeking Empire has a sworn enemy-the Li Min Society.

The Li Min Society is a large organization adjacent to the Moon Empire, similar to the Xiuzhen sect.

The reason why it is said to be similar to the Xiuzhen sect is because the Li Min Society is completely different from the existence of various Xiuzhen sects. The general Xiuzhen sect relies on operating the sect's industry or collecting offerings from believers to maintain the development of the sect. But the Lebanese Association is different, they rely on compulsory protection fees to maintain their own development.

Like all Xiuzhen sects, Li Min will have their own territory. However, unlike the various Xiuzhen sects, the territory of the Li Min Society is definitely not just a mountain or a canyon, it is very large, and the total area is about the same size as the Moon Empire.

Although it covers a large area, this is not a country, but a society!

Everyone living in the area under the jurisdiction of the LIM must pay a protection fee to the LIZ before they can enjoy the various protections provided by the LIM. Otherwise, hehe.

The Moon Empire has repeatedly condemned the forced collection of protection fees by the Li Min Association, and even raised troops to attack the Li Min Association several times on the grounds of defending the rights of the people, and both sides have won and lost.

But since the Li Min Society dares to do this, it will not be afraid of the eyes of others! Of course, it will not be afraid of the powerlessness of others!

In the many battles between the Moon-Seeking Empire and the Li Min Society, both sides also suffered heavy losses. Thus, blood and tears forged the walls of hatred, and in the long river of history, the people of the two countries have always stood behind their respective walls, venting the most vicious curses to each other!

So much so, "Are they fighting again?" The sentence itself, which has no beginning or end, slowly turned into a very clear interrogative sentence.

"Who knows, it seems that they have never stopped between each other, right?" Xiao Yuanxing said, "However, the sudden increase in the price of cotton textiles this time is not because of the war. ”

"It's not because of the war, but because of what?" Zhang Changsheng asked.

Xiao Yuanxing shook his head and said, "Alas, I don't know the specific reason. I just heard from the boss of a familiar trading house that the reason for the increase in the price of cotton textiles is because of the shortage of raw materials, and the shortage of raw materials is due to the sudden purchase of a large number of goods at any cost, resulting in the supply of all commercial banks. ”

"You mean...... Someone wants to raise the price of raw materials?" asked Zhang Changsheng.

Buying a commodity in large quantities so that its price spikes in a short period of time. Then take advantage of the period when the price of the commodity rises, sell the goods collected at a low price and earn a huge difference. This was the usual measurement in the shopping mall, so Zhang Changsheng guessed the reason as soon as he heard Xiao Yuanxing's words.

However, Xiao Yuanxing shook his head and denied Zhang Changsheng's speculation. He frowned and continued: "Originally, we thought the same way, but after waiting for so long, the price of cotton textiles and their raw materials has risen nearly four times, but there is still no one to sell them in large quantities. This ......"

Speaking of which, Xiao Yuanxing's head was about to shake into a wave drum. No matter how greedy a person is, he should be content with four times the price of goods, right......? I'm afraid it's not just a matter of disliking low profits.

"Alas, no matter what this person is raising prices for, anyway, in the end, it will only be us who are unlucky. Xiao Yuanxing couldn't help but sigh.

"Before the price hike, I had two cloth shops sign deeds promising to buy at least 100 orders for them within two months. It's been almost a month since I realized it, and I haven't even run enough for thirty orders. If it continues like this, in two months, I will have to cut myself off and avoid my debts!"

Hearing this, Zhang Changsheng's face also sank, and he sighed: "Alas, why am I not? Earlier, I opened a small workshop at home, and I could barely survive by weaving some cloth for others. Alas! I shouldn't have signed a deed with the cloth shop! Now, the raw materials are in short supply, and it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice! But the cloth shop is urging me to do it! If this continues, my family will have to drink the northwest wind!"

When a businessman is in business, he pays attention to the word of faith!

Big businessmen, big commercial houses, and old owners are all guaranteed in the letter, so when such people do business, they often only need to say a word and give a verbal promise, and they don't need to sign any deed at all.

But "retail investors" like Zhang Changsheng and Xiao Yuanxing are different. They are engaged in the business of buying and selling, and although the profits are very considerable, there is no guarantee, and there is no fixed upper and lower family.

When people do business with people like them, they often ask them to sign a deed to ensure that when they break their promises, their side will not suffer heavy losses for no reason!

Originally, as long as Zhang Changsheng and Xiao Yuanxing did their duty to do business and did not lose their trust to others, the deed would just be an ornament and would not have any impact on them.

But now...... Alas!

Zhang Changsheng came to the Moon Empire this time just to try his luck. First, let's see if we can buy a batch of raw materials to support the production in the workshop; second, if we can't do it, we can find a way to buy a batch of cotton cloth at a high price and send it to the cloth store for emergencies, which is better than defaulting, isn't it?

But now it seems...... Alas!

Because he hadn't been to the Moon Empire for a long time, he really didn't know the market, so Zhang Changsheng decided to follow Xiao Yuan.

Although Xiao Yuanxing is also difficult to protect himself now, after all, he has many acquaintances, and he has never broken off his business with the Moon Empire, so it is definitely better to follow him than Zhang Changsheng to wander around blindly!

Under the leadership of Xiao Yuanxing, Zhang Changsheng walked into an auction house, Haoyue Auction House!

Haoyue Auction House is a chain of auction houses in the territory of the Moon Empire, and its branches are almost all over the entire Moon Empire. The auction house that Zhang Changsheng and the others entered was the closest branch to Mona.

Walking into the hall of Haoyue Auction House, it was already crowded at a glance. And to Zhang Changsheng's despair, the vast majority of people in the hall gathered at the cotton textile trading place. Some even have futon rolls and a change of clothes at their feet, apparently ready for a long battle here!

"Boss Zhang, wait a minute, I'll go find a friend to inquire, and see if I can ask him to make it convenient for us." However, I am only afraid of ...... Alas!" Xiao Yuanxing couldn't help but sigh when he said this. Then he made a waiting gesture to Zhang Changsheng and left. (To be continued.) )
