The lowest price is 612 taels of silver.

The highest price reached a staggering 920 taels of silver.

This price directly stunned Wuji, according to the previous price, this purchase price is almost not profitable.

At present, in the Great Xia Empire, the mainstream price of the Star Pavilion table clock is about 1,000 taels of silver.

The Apocalypse Empire and the Dongyi Empire are taller because they are farther away, and they can have 1,300 taels of silver.

Looking at the bidders again, I understand.

This is a merchant in the Western world, and the number of purchases is not much, only about three hundred.

Is this here to test the waters? Or they don't know much about the market, and they are worried that they will not be able to buy it if they are squeezed out by Oriental merchants, so they directly give an amazing price to ensure that they can buy it.

This is a very smart businessman, and he thinks he will make a lot of money.

Because there are no regular dealers in the Western world for the time being, there are only a small number of smuggled grandfather clocks, and the price has skyrocketed.

Therefore, this businessman, no matter how much he bids for it, is a big profit.

Why only buy 300 grandfather clocks?

Because that's all he's worth.

Wujian still underestimated this merchant, who was a declining aristocrat in the Western world, mortgaged his family's castle and wine estate, as well as all the farmland, before borrowing 30,000 gold coins from the Ned Chamber of Commerce.

And these 30,000 gold coins have to hire fleets, hire sailors, and so on and so forth.

Suffice it to say that after paying for the goods, he was in arrears even with the salaries of the sailors and the guards.

For him, this is a complete gamble, and he can only win and not lose.

And what is the largest number of all the bidding prices?

720 taels of silver, two thousand five hundred in all, and an order placed by one man.

It was the biggest businessman in the room.

Moreover, he placed two orders and won all of them.

720 taels of silver, 2,500 talents.

650 taels of silver, 500 talents.

When it was revealed, everyone was stunned, and then looked at him with resentment.

I'm your uncle.

It was you who asked us to sign the offensive and defensive alliance contract just now, and it was you who let us lower the price to 250 taels of silver.

As a result, you directly bought 3,000 by yourself and directly took one-third of the supply?

Mean, shameless, indecent.

But this big businessman is also full of bitterness.

He was not a merchant of the Great Xia Empire, but of the Dongyi Empire, and he was not the top-ranked maritime merchant.

This time, he only brought 900,000 taels of silver, and planned to buy about 2,000 grandfather clocks.

Now that the price is soaring, he placed an order for 3,000 pieces, and he had to pay about 2 million taels of silver.

So, it's definitely time to borrow from Drifting Zero City.

There is no way, because this may really be his last Admiralty.

Wuqian just said that there may be no Admiralty Conference in the future, and this big businessman snorted.

However, the Dongyi Empire is about to fall to the Western Holy See, and the Imperial Daoist faction will soon achieve a complete victory in the civil war.

Once the entire Dongyi Empire completely changes color, then Sky Book City will definitely impose a comprehensive sanction on the Dongyi Empire.

Whether it is the Star Picking Pavilion or the Time Pavilion, they are all from the Great Xia Empire. Therefore, the grandfather clock will definitely not be sold directly to the merchants of the Dongyi Empire, and the grandfather clock can only be obtained through smuggling.

Once the smuggling link is passed, the cost will directly rise several times.

The most important thing is that once the Sky Book City completely blocks and sanctions the Dongyi Empire, the clock will be even more scarce, and the price will definitely skyrocket.

Therefore, even if this big businessman empties his family property, he has to buy enough 3,000 pieces, and then transport them back to the Dongyi Empire to hoard and sell, at least double the previous price and sell them.

In short, there is not a single stupid person in this group.

All are the smartest, most savvy.

Next, Shen Wuqian began to announce the winning bidders.

The first one is the outdated Western aristocracy, Andrei.

920 taels per unit, 300 clocks.

As soon as this price came out, all the merchants exclaimed, and looked at the white man as if they were fools.

However, the white aristocrat was so excited that he even knelt down directly and kept clasping his hands towards his god.

People laugh at me for being crazy, I laugh at them for being stupid.

Does this cost price matter to someone like me who pays all the bets?

Do you know how much I can earn?

Do you know that after this shipment arrives in the West, the price is completely set by me?

As long as this shipment was successfully transported to the Western world, the fate of him and his family would change.

Soon, the announcement is over!

The merchant who did not buy it fell to the ground and cried.

"God, I mortgaged the land, mortgaged the house, and even resold the concubines, so I got 100,000 taels of silver, and the interest alone is 20,000 taels, what should I do now? What should I do? ”

"It's all your fault, didn't you say 250 taels of silver?"

When I looked at the merchant's bidding price, it turned out to be 299 taels, and the number of purchases was three hundred.

Suddenly, he couldn't understand it.

You have to say that this man has no courage, he mortgaged everything in the house and went to borrow usury.

You said that he had the courage, but in the end he only set a price of 299 taels.

What is this?

Ruthless and greedy?

Many businessmen can see through this.

For businessmen who give everything to fight for it, does it matter how much it costs?

Earn more, earn less, does it matter?

The key is to make money.

Don't look at the supply of about 9,000 this year, but the price will definitely skyrocket.

Because half of the supply is bought by the Western world.

Another third of the supply was bought by the Dongyi Empire, and some were bought by the Apocalypse Empire.

The merchants of the Great Xia Empire bought only more than a thousand table clocks.

No matter how much money you bid, even if it is 900 taels, it is a big profit.

Immediately afterward, many people began to be curious.

What about the Drifting King?

Weren't you the first to make a bid?

How much do you pay? How many are you buying?

The results were quickly found.

The unit price is 888 taels, one.

Drifting King, your uncle.

Are you teasing us playing?

King Drifting smiled and said, "My baby daughter's room lacks a table clock, so I need to buy one, don't be surprised." ”

The Governor of Drifting City said: "The winning bidder, in the next two hours, one hand will pay the money and the other hand will deliver." If you don't have enough money, you can go to our merchant committee for reception, use the table clock as a mortgage, and give the money within half an hour. “

This is also a human spirit, he knows that Shen Wuqian needs money, and the faster the better.

The next scene is also shocking enough for a long, long time.

The entire Qiankun Building has become a sea of gold and silver.

Silver tickets can be used in Drifting Zero, but only silver tickets issued by the Merchant Council.

Therefore, a considerable number of merchants came directly with silver or gold.

Tens of thousands of taels, hundreds of thousands of taels, millions of taels of silver.

Just open it all up and put it in the hall.

Pay with one hand, deliver with the other.

Drifting Zero City sent hundreds of people to work with the people of the Shen Gong family to count the gold and silver, and also check the purity.

Moreover, the Merchants' Committee dispatched a professional team to handle mortgage loans directly in Qiankun Building.

Just over two hours later!

All delivered.

9,200 table clocks, with an average unit price of about 719 taels of silver.

The total sales amount is about 6.7 million silver.

The original plan was incomplete, and only 4.5 million taels of silver were needed, but it turned out to be a full 2.2 million taels more.

It's horrible.

He was also stunned.

The Admiralty Conference he experienced before was only sold for 1.2 million silver at most.

This time, it's five times as much.

Wufeng sorted out 670,000 taels of silver and officially submitted it to the Floating Zero City Merchant Committee.

"Happy working together!"

"Happy working together!"

The Governor clenched his hand and said, "From now on, Prince Shen Wujian will be the most honored guest of our Floating Zero City. ”

Then, he couldn't help but say: "It would be nice if the Admiralty Conference in the early years was also presided over by the flawless son." Mrs. Ling is beautiful, extremely intelligent, but too straight, an artist, not a qualified businessman. ”

Wujian smiled: "I take this sentence as a compliment." ”

Then, Wu Feng said: "Please ask the Governor to exchange all this batch of silver into gold, and the handling fee will be in accordance with the regulations." ”

The money received without defects is varied.

There are silver coins and gold coins from the West, and there are also gold bars, silver bars, and silver ingots from the East.

The Floating Zero City Merchant Council moved very quickly, in less than an hour.

A large pile of gold appeared in front of him.

A full 500,000 taels of gold.

Wu Jian said: "No, 6 million taels of silver, after deducting one percent of the handling fee, it should be less than 500,000 taels of gold." ”

The governor of Drifting Zero City said: "We have earned 670,000 taels of silver from the Innocent Son, what is the handling fee for exchanging gold?" At the time, I apologized for my rude attitude. ”

Then, the Drifting King suddenly said: "Innocent son, how to transport this batch of gold back to Zhenhai City, have you thought about it?" ”

Yes, that's the most critical one.

"Lishan Hou Qiqi, leaving Drifting City in such a hurry just now, obviously planning to rob your fleet on the sea and take away your gold."

The Governor of Drifting Zero City said, "Innocent Son, our fleet can escort you. But it can only escort a certain distance, and once it enters the territorial waters of the Great Xia Empire, our fleet has no right to enter. ”

Wu Feng bowed and said, "Thank you." ”

Next, hundreds of warriors of the Shen Gong family, carrying hundreds of boxes, left Floating Zero City and boarded the flagship of the Shen Gong family.

Each box was full of gold, more than a hundred catties.

I don't know how many pairs of eyes, staring at all this.

I watched the 500,000 taels of gold with my own eyes and carried it onto the big ship of the Shen Gong family.

November 7 is less than five days away.

Time is of the essence.

The seventh day of the first month of November is the last day to repay the money.

If the money is not delivered before this time.

The Star Picking Pavilion was taken away, the Black Gold City was taken away, and even the loan that mortgaged the Marquis of Zhenhai's Mansion was also on the seventh day of the first month of November.

Shen Gongao's promise of the soldiers' pensions could not be honored.

Once these things happen, no amount of money can undo the terrible situation.

So the most important thing now is, how to transport this gold to Zhenhai City smoothly?

Those who travel a hundred miles are half ninety.

Now, it's a real kick in the door.

This gold enters the Zhenhai Marquis Mansion, which can be regarded as a real victory.

On the docks!

King Drifting took his daughter's hand and said goodbye to Wuji.

"Shen Wuji, the resources invested by the Mi family this time are too great to allow failure, so they will definitely kill you at sea."

"To tell you the truth, I can't imagine how you escaped the robbery of Miqi. I've deduced it many times with the Merchant Council, but each time the result is the same, your fleet has been sunk and all the gold has been stolen by Miki and Jade Rakshasas. ”

"Without one exception, the disparity in your strength is too great."

Then, King Drifting Zero said, "I will send a ship, flying the official flag of Drifting Zero City, to follow you to Zhenhai City, even if it is our official visit to your family." In this way, perhaps the Mi family and the Jade Rakshasa will be a little more jealous. But ......"

The Drifting Zero King shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't think this is necessarily useful, once the huge interests are at stake, the Mi family will not take into account the reaction of our Drifting Zero City, but this is already the ultimate I can do." ”

Wu Jian bowed and said: "I am already very grateful, I wish you and your daughter good health and happiness." ”

Drifting King said: "I also wish your family a smooth passage through this crisis." ”

"Farewell!"

"Farewell!"

After boarding the big ship, Wujian ordered: "Let's go, return to Zhenhai City!" ”

With his order, several cargo ships, escorted by the fleet of Floating Zero City, sailed in the direction of Zhenhai City.

At the same time, Drifting Zero City released dozens of pigeons and flew in the direction of the east.

The Mi family has made no secret of it.

After sailing for dozens of miles, more than forty warships of the Shen Gong family also approached and joined the escort fleet.

It was getting dark.

Pointing to the heavens, he said, "Husband, look! ”

When Wujian looked up, there were eagle falcons in the sky, and there were more than a dozen eagle falcons, always staring at every move of the Wujian fleet.

"And the back."

On the sea behind, the huge fleet of the Qi family followed closely, keeping a distance of more than ten miles.

Miki is already in a hurry.

He couldn't afford to lose this battle at all.

The falcon in the sky stared, and the fleet followed.

After counting it, there were more than sixty warships in the fleet of the Mi family behind him.

The previous territory of the Mi family was isolated overseas, and it relied on the sea fleet, and after destroying the Ying family fifteen years ago, it won Tianshui Province and moved the family headquarters to Yingzhou, but the power on the sea still far exceeded that of the Shen family.

It's not that Shen Gongao doesn't want to build more fleets.

One is because it takes a long time to build a ship, and the other is to have a share.

In the entire eastern seas, how many warships can any family, any force, have? How many routes can you have? The shares are all determined after the agreement.

At present, there are five major forces in the entire eastern sea.

Great Xia Empire, Mi Clan, Shen Gong Clan, Lian Clan, Zhu Clan.

All the trade routes, all the warships, were the result of the compromise of these five struggles.

And, of course, there's an extra mega player.

That is the Pirate Queen Jade Rakshasa .

……………………………………

Night falls.

Everyone in the Shen family's fleet was extremely nervous.

No one could sleep.

lest the Mi family launch an attack at this time.

There is only one person missing, holding the Buddha and falling asleep.

And he couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning.

Wujian suddenly said: "Baby, it doesn't matter if you can't sleep, it doesn't matter if you turn over and over, but can you not use you to rub around, I can't stand it." ”

Di Fan hugged his flawless neck and said, "Husband, I really can't sleep." I'm worried that as soon as I close my eyes, the fleet of the Mi family will open fire directly. ”

Wu Que said: "They won't go to war tonight, they will do it tomorrow!" Because now they don't feel that the advantage is big enough. ”

Dian Fan said: "This batch of gold is the lifeblood of our family, once it is robbed, then our family will really not be able to survive this time." Is it really okay for us to have that plan? ”

Wu Jian said softly: "Don't worry, not only will we be able to transport the gold home smoothly, but we will not be able to fly away." ”

"I, I'm still worried, your plan is too risky. ”

"It seems to be risky, but in fact there is no risk." ”

Then he slapped her waist with the most flesh and said, "Sleep quickly, sleep quickly, or I will strip you naked and force you to pose and draw a spring picture." ”

"Draw it, put it in the position, who is afraid?" He muttered under his breath.

This is getting more and more sullen.

……………………………………

The next day, the sun rises.

The commander of the Drifting City fleet boarded the flawless ship.

"Childe Wuji, I'm very sorry, we're going to sail back, because the front is the territorial waters of the Great Xia Empire, and we can't enter it."

"Thank you, thank you." ”

Then, with a wave of his hand, someone handed over a small box, all of which was gold, a few hundred taels.

"Please laugh." Flawless handed the gold to the commander.

"Thank you, Childe." The commander accepted the gold and said, "Peace be upon you." ”

Then, he couldn't help but say again: "In case of a real war, you'd better hide in our visiting ship in Floating Zero City, so that you may be able to save your life, as for gold!" I want you to see that gold is less important than life. ”

"Take care!"

Then this commander left the flawless large ship and returned to his warship in a small boat.

"Homecoming!" With an order, the escort fleet of Drifting Zero City left and returned to Drifting Zero City.

Suddenly, the fleet of the Shen Gong family on the sea suddenly became much weaker.

All the officers and men on the ship suddenly seemed to be facing a great enemy.

"On full alert, ready for war!"

"Swear to defend the gold, defend the Shen family, and defend the perfect son."

With a broken roar from the leader.

All the officers and soldiers of the Shen Gong family's fleet roared in unison.

Then, the family fleet always took on a battle formation and sailed towards Zhenhai City at full speed. The journey home was extremely difficult.

At this time, the fleet of the Mi family, which was closely following behind, also showed a battle formation, constantly approaching the distance.

The Shen family, forty-one warships.

The Mi family, sixty-seven warships.

1:1.6 or so.

But approaching about ten miles, the fleet of the Shen Gong family did not continue to approach.

The two fleets, just like this, kept fighting at all times, constantly sailing in the direction of Zhenhai City.

At this time, it is getting closer and closer to Zhenhai City.

1200 miles.

1000 miles.

Nine hundred miles.

……………………………………

Li Huamei's fleet under the command of the pirate queen Jade Rakshasa.

A full hundred and twenty search warships were spread out on the sea.

Li Huamei said: "Lishanhou, do you want us to rob and kill Shen Wuji's fleet on the sea? No problem, give money! ”

Qi Qi said: "According to the Eagle Falcon information I received, there are 500,000 taels of gold on Shen Wuji's big ship, which is equivalent to six million taels of silver!" We flanked back and forth, sank all the forty-one warships of the Shen Gong family, and killed all of them. Then the two of us divided the 500,000 taels of gold, and you six and I four. ”

Li Huamei said lightly: "Impossible." ”

Qi Qi said: "Then, seven and three are divided, you are seven and I are three." ”

"Impossible."

Qi Qi said: "Eighty-two points." ”

"Impossible!"

Qi Qi broke off and shouted: "Okay, I don't want a tael of silver, 500,000 taels of gold, all for you!" ”

Li Huamei said lightly: "Gongzi Qi, you are really willing." ”

Qi Qi said: "Money is very important. But sometimes, it's not important. As long as the Shen family can be put to death, what is this money? ”

Miqi knew that in the battle of Drifting Zero City, he lost, and he lost badly.

However, there is still a chance to redeem it!

As long as the strategic purpose can be achieved, King Mi does not care about losing some gold and silver.

In the eyes of these tyrants, what is money?

As long as they take away Shen Wuji's gold and destroy the remaining fleet of the Shen family, the Shen family will not be able to survive this crisis.

Then his plan can be regarded as a success.

The strategic goal of the Mi family has still been achieved.

Although he lost four or five million taels of silver, he still made a great contribution.

Of course, this credit is not so glorious.

Because, the two sides have completely torn their faces and trampled on the bottom line of the struggle.

All of them went straight to the surface of the sea and started a war.

The Mi clan was a prince and nobleman of the Great Xia Empire, and the Shen family was also a noble prince.

The courtiers of the empire actually fought each other.

Above the court, it is unjustifiable, and it will cause turmoil.

But......

As long as the fleet of the Shen Gong family is wiped out, it is not up to the victors.

It was the pirate queen Jade Rakshasa who annihilated the fleet of the Shen family and stole the gold, what does it have to do with my Mi clan?

Even, Miki will send Mi's fleet to carry out humanitarian rescue at sea.

What's even more exaggerated is that in the future, the Mi family will also call for the establishment of a joint fleet in the court to exterminate the pirate Jade Rakshasa .

And it will be acted upon.

But in private, the Mi family must have to pay a lot of benefits to shut the mouths of all parties in the court.

Qi Qi felt that the negotiation had finally been successful, and Li Huamei was about to make a move.

However, Li Huamei said lightly: "It's still not good." ”

Qi Qi said coldly: "Li Huamei, don't go too far. I know that your master, Jade Rakshasa, sucks human blood for a living, and you also like to pierce other people's hearts and drink blood. But there must be a degree in everything, and don't trample on the bottom line of our two families. ”

Li Huamei said: "Then the talk will collapse." ”

Qi Qi said: "520,000 gold, all for you, what else do you want?" ”

Li Huamei said: "That's not in hand, it doesn't count." If you want us to attack the fleet of the Shen family, you will pay? 800,000 taels of silver. ”

Mi Qi was stunned, do you still want money? And so that the lion opens his mouth widely?

How much have I paid you?

Qi Qi said: "Marshal Li Huamei, I really don't have any money on me, I only have forty or fifty thousand taels of silver tickets at most." ”

Li Huamei said: "Twenty warships." ”

Qi Qi was stunned: "What? ”

Li Huamei said: "You pay me twenty warships, and they are the warships of your Qi family." After destroying the warships of the Shen family, not only all the gold will belong to me, but all the damaged warships will also belong to me. ”

Qi Qi was stunned, looked at Li Huamei and said slowly: "The devil's mouth is not as big as you, and it is not as greedy as you. ”

Li Huamei said: "You can not agree." ”

Mi Qi was silent for a moment and said, "I promise." ”

He's given so much that there's no going back.

And as long as the strategic goal can be achieved, as long as the Shen family can be killed, it will all be worth it.

Li Huamei pushed over a contract and said, "Sign it!" ”

Miki took the contract and looked at it, then directly signed his name and stamped his family's seal.

This contract has officially come into effect.

Li Huamei said: "My fleet, as long as it is dispatched, you need to pay." ”

Qi Qi said coldly: "I know, I really deserve to be your vampire master's subordinate." ”

Li Huamei shouted: "The fleet is assembled and ready to go to war!" ”

Miki left to return to his ship.

When he walked to the hatch, Qi Qi suddenly said, "I'm really curious, what do you Alcatraz want so much gold and silver for?" How much money have you made over the years, it's completely astronomical, why? ”

Li Huamei ignored it.

But she said lightly in her heart: "Is this a lot of money?" We don't think it's enough, because we're going to build an empire for our king! A mighty empire! ”

With Li Huamei's order.

A powerful pirate fleet was immediately formed into a battle formation.

Murderous and majestic, he rushed in the direction of Shen Wuji's fleet.

Looking at the pirate fleet that had been killed, Qi Qi trembled and said: "I can't afford to lose anymore, I have paid too much price, I want to change my life against the sky!" ”

…………………………………………

Time passes.

Shen Wuji's fleet is getting closer and closer to Zhenhai City.

Eight hundred miles, seven hundred miles, six hundred miles!

And then......

He saw it.

Everyone saw it.

On the sea ahead, black and black oppressed.

An incomparably powerful fleet appeared on the sea level.

The fleet of the pirate queen Jade Rakshasa

Another superpower on the eastern seas.

Although it was only Li Huamei's detachment, there were only one hundred and thirty-five warships.

Looking down from the sky.

Ahead, is Li Huamei's fleet.

In the rear, is the fleet of the Mi family.

Shen Wuji's forty-one warships were directly sandwiched in the middle.

"Prepare for battle!"

"Prepare for battle!"

The fleet of the Shen Gong family kept ringing the bell.

All the soldiers took out their bows and crossbows one after another.

All the giant crossbows on the battleship immediately entered the battle state.

Everyone was enthusiastic, but they were gloomy and desperate.

Because, the difference in strength between the two sides is too great.

The Shen family, 41 warships.

And the enemy's Mi family and Li Huamei's fleet combined, nearly two hundred warships.

One to five!

Moreover, the fleet of the Mi family and the pirate queen Jade Rakshasa can also be called the trump card on the sea.

Once the war starts!

There is absolutely no second outcome.

The fleet of the Shen Gong family will suffer heavy losses, and may even be wiped out.

Di Fan breathed rapidly, hugged Wuji's shoulders, and said in a trembling voice: "Husband, do you really want to do this?" ”

Wujian said: "Don't worry, I said it!" Not only was I able to bring home all the gold without any effort, not even a single soldier. ”

At this time!

The Li Huamei fleet in front and the Mi family fleet in the back began to accelerate!

Surround the Shen family in the middle.

Getting closer, getting closer.

Like a vicious wolf and beast, it wants to crush the fleet of the Shen Gong family.

Hundreds of warships swooped on the sea, stretching for dozens of miles.

"Fire!"

Li Huamei gave an order suddenly.

Suddenly, the countless giant crossbows of the pirate fleet shot wildly towards the fleet of the Shen Gong family!
