Chapter 216: Shadow Crisis
readx;? That Huangsha City Xin bought a large number of goods" In the time when Xiao Han was concentrating on the small city of Xingkou, not far from Huangsha City, a group of people were secretly discussing. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
This is a small town only four days away from Huangsha City, if you really want to count it, it is still within the rule of Stormwind City, however, whether it is Huangsha City's external sales or internal mining, it will not pass through this place, and the same as the previous Huangsha Town, this is one. A relatively desolate place, not many people will pay attention, but this has always been a town for normal people, and life is relatively hard.
No one would notice this remote town, but now it was being controlled by a group of four or five hundred people, all of whom had been slaughtered, and a group of men who looked like warriors, dressed in ill-fitting civilian clothes, pretending to work in the town. And a few of the leaders, in the house of the best mayor in town, sat around and discussed.
"Yes, head, our people have a large number of tasks in the Mercenary Guild and the Underground Guild to buy the fruit of the magic cup, the price is very high, and the place to hand in the task is Huangsha City. In Huangsha City, except for the city lord who auctioned off the silk, no one has this kind of financial resources. At first glance, it was a spy guy, and he analyzed it in detail towards the collar opposite.
If Meng Han had received these people before, he would definitely recognize them, these people were the guys from the Shadow Chamber of Commerce who had been expelled from Yellow Sand City. After being expelled from Huangsha Town by Meng Han by forced buying and selling, these people had nominally left Huangsha City, but they only made a big detour after passing through Stormwind City and found this remote town to hide, and they were still fighting Meng Han and their lord.
"Head, there aren't many of them. There were only a thousand city guards, and they were scattered all over the place, plus shifts, as long as we were able to get through as fast as we could. Definitely catch them all. The scout scout looked rather anxious, and he didn't understand why the leader would hide in this town for dozens of days and do nothing, and looked at the people of Huangsha City with a majestic attitude: "When are we going to do it? ā
"What's the use of the gold coins? Are we short of gold coins?" the leader took a deep breath and stopped his subordinates' impatience: "What are we here for? Silk! We are going to offer the best silk to Lord God, if we don't get it, how can we go back?"
"We're not afraid enough to kill all the city lord's guards and snatch out all the silk of the city lord?" How long will it take?"
"Kill the city lord's guards? don't you have a brain? can't you see what the status of that city lord is here?" the leader retorted with disdain: "As long as we make a move, we will definitely fight against the poisonous Yellow Sand City, our five hundred people." Can you fight a city of 100,000 people? I heard that they have reduced the production of silk, and a new kind of colored silk has been created, right?"
"Yes, head. The scout immediately reported, "This silk is four times more expensive than the white silk of the past, but all the buyers are eager to buy it, this is the best silk, and I believe that the Lord God will like it." ā
"So, where is the missing silk?" asked the leader, who was more concerned about this, and immediately asked with interest.
"I don't know, I haven't seen any more silk shipments, I guess it was swallowed by the city lord himself. "The scout was very observant. I didn't see Meng Han shipping in Huangsha City, so I took it for granted. This is human nature, the best things you produce are of course the first to enjoy yourself, and the same is true for colored silk, Meng Han did this, which is understandable.
However, this obviously gave the Shadow Chamber of Commerce a chance, and after hearing the news, the first reaction of several leading guys was to jump: "Really, great! We will soon be able to go home with a gift for the True God!"
The output of Huangsha City's colored silk for a few days was enough to satisfy the appetite of these guys who had been waiting for so long. All of a sudden, the guys from the Shadow Chamber of Commerce scattered throughout the town began to gear up one by one.
Guys who believe in dark gods. Originally, in some respects, it was necessary to do as you like, and this kind of forced purchase does not become a robber's behavior, which is really normal.
Meng Han didn't know that someone had been hiding in a dark corner, quietly waiting to bite him, and still lived a normal life as if nothing happened. Alice had already made an appointment with Old Tom, and now Old Tom was standing respectfully in front of Meng Han.
Although he was originally engaged in silk business, and now Old Tom is also a rich man with a net worth of at least thousands of gold coins, in front of Meng Han, he still maintains the respect that he has when he first meets the lord. He has always thought. Without the lord, there would be no current self.
"Sit, old Tom!" Meng Han easily invited old Tom to sit down, and the old soup girl was very grateful for it. Only then did he sit down opposite Meng Han, with a respectful expression. A servant in the words of adults.
"Are you interested in acting as an agent for my silk sales business?" gave a topic that shocked Old Tom very much. Old Tom had seen a lot of gold coins now, but he was still startled by the words of the lord of the city.
"Carte blanche was the agent?" Although he had already guessed something, Old Tang Yao still cautiously verified it.
"Yes, my silk will be sold to you at a fixed price, and then, you, the general agent, will also sell it to others at a fixed price. Meng Han nodded. If you have to be responsible for sales of your own production, it is no longer necessary at this stage, and Meng Yi needs to support a few forces that depend on you: "If you can't eat alone, you can find a few partners and set up a chamber of commerce together, are you interested?"
"Yes!" When hundreds of gold coins are placed in front of him every day, it is absolutely foolish to say that he is not interested. Even if Old Tom knew that his strength was not enough to eat all the silk of the lord, he would firmly seize this opportunity since the lord gave it to him. After being in the mercenary world at the bottom for so long, he knew what kind of opportunity was the most important.
"Since it's an agent. So. I have a request, the shipping price of your chamber of commerce cannot be changed, I will give you a price with a stable profit, but you can't increase the price. As for what price others will sell for when they get it, that's not your business. Meng Han nodded slightly, this, the result was originally expected by him.
Meng Han already knew. Unable to partner with himself, many powerful nobles have begun to try to contact Old Tom, wanting to participate in Old Tom's current alliance. Old Tom hasn't decided yet, but. I believe that he will soon be unable to withstand the pressure. Meng Han allowed him to partner with some people, just to give him this opportunity. Of course, the main purpose is to indirectly win over a few powerful nobles and tie them to their chariots.
"Of course, sir. We have never raised the price Old Tom after such a long period of silk sales, of course he understood what Meng Han meant. It is precisely because he has left enough profit margins for others that their silk sales alliance has not been frantically suppressed and eliminated, and Meng Han's request is actually adding one more to him, a life amulet.
"In addition, those people who are now queuing up to buy the right to sell silk, I think they can stop, in addition to clarifying an agent, Meng Han is to clear the kind of silk sales right that can be bought and sold by force, otherwise, there will be people fighting in Huangsha City every day because of this, and there are even many people who move guys, Huangsha City is his own territory. If you want to build a commercial base in the future, you can't have such a situation.
"But, sir. Without this income, their lives would be difficult. "Old Tom also belongs to those greedy mercenaries who were lured by the treasure map, but his luck is better. But now, if Meng Han wants to cancel this sales situation, then there will be a large number of people who will not be able to get a normal income. Although queuing up to buy the right to sell silk is not wealthy, it can always ensure the livelihood of many people.
"I have some ideas. As long as these people have some small capital and can start some small businesses, they will not starve to death. "Although he is already the city lord, Meng Han doesn't feel it. It is necessary to feed all those who come to their own land to earn a living. The twins are the natives of their own lord's house, and it is natural to feed them, but it is impossible to take everyone responsible.
But Meng Han did not simply give up on them, but gave them a way. This is a very easy thing for Meng Han. Anyway, find a few interesting little things in your head, as long as everyone runs it, you can still make a profit easily.
"If they want to. You can also raise money to set up a chamber of commerce, specializing in these things Meng Han saw that Old Tom was still a little hesitant, and added some chips again: "Very simple things, the chamber of commerce can become a chain organization, for the time being, big money may not be possible, but small wealth is still possible." You go and ask them, are they interested?
"Thank you, sir!" Old Tom certainly knew what Meng Han meant by this, and immediately thanked Meng Han happily. He had witnessed Meng Han's miracle from the very beginning. Although I don't know what a chain is, but. If you think that a small thing that is not large in size can be turned into a chain organization, then it is not a small business.
