Chapter 155: Crazy Salt
readx;
However, even if the gold reserves are not used, Lu Yi has other ways to solve it, the treasures he grabbed can still be sold, and he dare not say more, and then make up another five or six billion as if he was playing, and the things that were put up for auction were definitely grabbed by everyone, so there was no need to worry about the treasures that could not be sold.

After thinking about it, Lu Yi said lightly: "You don't need to think about money, what you have to think about now is to set up a functional chamber of commerce as soon as possible and start preparing a rush purchase plan for salt." ”
After getting Lu Yi's order, Leia didn't think about anything more, since money is not a problem, then the problem can only be the actual execution link, and this link is exactly what she is responsible for, and it is also what she is best at.
In the following time, with the hundreds of chamber of commerce backbones who came with her as the core, it only took a week to recruit a thousand new members, and then uniformly train and deploy!
At the same time, Lu Yi was not idle, and at this moment...... Amy, Nela, and Verni had already rushed over, and of course they were going to participate in such a big operation, and in fact, they had already started investigating a month earlier.
After a month's investigation, 100 merchant groups dealing in salt have been identified, and the reserves of salt have also been determined, and 5 billion gold are enough to buy the hoarded salt.
Amy's three sisters' MI1, MI2, MI3, in fact, as early as a year and a half ago, followed Lu Yi to Leiden City, after a year and a half of detailed investigation, the situation in Leiden City is already well understood, if it were not for a large amount of information, Lu Yi would not have acted rashly, the reason why he dared to do this, naturally he had his confidence, it seemed to be reckless, in fact, everything was calculated, and the facts did develop as Lu Yi thought.
What Lu Yi is doing now is actually not very advanced, it is just hoarding, and everyone else can actually do it, but firstly, it is a financial constraint, and secondly, the most important thing is that it is actually still attacked by local forces! No one will allow you to do such a thing in their territory.
However, Lu Yi is not afraid, all the purchased salt will be stored underground, and in the underground world, Lu Yi is not afraid of anyone now, if he has the ability, he will come in, come one to die, two to die and a pair, not afraid of death.
Moreover, the most important thing is that Lu Yi is also a member of the Shi Ang family, and now he is in a mood, so I will do it, what can you do with me? Whoever dares to touch him, he will move him immediately, it just happens that the money to buy salt is not enough, if anyone really thinks that Lu Yi is easy to bully and wants to obstruct him, that is very good, there is a place to find money, I am afraid that no one will take care of him, then Lu Yi will have to sell the treasure to make up for the gap in funds.
Time passed slowly, and with the cooperation of the three major military intelligence departments, all salt sales offices, all caravans, trade groups, and chambers of commerce with salt as a business item were all put on the watch list.
Finally, after two weeks of preparation, everything was ready, and thousands of newly recruited compradors of the Chamber of Commerce were dispatched to wait near the various points of sale, and when they opened the doors tomorrow morning, they would buy all the salt at the points of sale, and not leave any behind.
At the same time, hundreds of backbone chambers of commerce who came here with Leia also went out separately that night, meeting with the leaders of various chambers of commerce, merchant groups, and caravans, and buying all the salt they had hoarded in their hands at the market price.
Although the Duchy of Leiden is only an inland city, but because of this, salt has always been very sufficient, coastal cities may lack salt, but inland cities will not, mainly because of the large amount of hoarding, and coastal cities basically do not hoard, just eat and buy now, anyway, the origin is in this city, are afraid that there is no salt to eat?
In the hands of various business groups, they have more or less hoarded a lot of salt, and now suddenly some people want to buy it, and they are buying all the hoarded salt at the market price, who would not want such a good thing? If they can exchange the accumulated salt for money, where can they find such a good thing? Overnight, hundreds of large commercial organizations have signed peace agreements, collected high deposits, and waited for the handover the next day.
Originally, Lu Yi made a lot of follow-up plans, if there was a chamber of commerce that refused to sell, how should he deal with it, and buy the salt in their hands by positive means as much as possible, if it really didn't work, Lu Yi wouldn't mind driving the abyss demon worm and emptying their warehouse directly.
But I didn't expect that hundreds of large-scale commercial organizations in Leiden City had all signed contracts without hesitation and charged a high deposit, and the series of plans that Lu Yi had carefully prepared for half a month were all wasted.
In fact, if a factory has a backlog of products that cannot be sold, and now someone suddenly comes to the door and buys all their goods at the market price, then who would not want to?
And the most important thing is that hundreds of negotiations started at the same time, and everyone has not received any relevant rumors before, so how can they not agree in the face of this good thing that fell from the sky?
It's not that you didn't expect that some people would want to hoard Juqi, but this is the capital of the Duchy of Leiden! Who would dare to do this here? Even if someone really dared to do it, they wouldn't think much about it, and those who dared to do such things would not have been provoked by them? Money is certainly a good thing, but if you lose your life for money, it will not be good.
The so-called no business, no annihilation, in fact, most people have already guessed, but the more they guessed, the more they dare not compete, and those who can't guess, of course, will not disagree, can't you be a fool if you have money?
For a variety of reasons, in just one night, Leia successfully bought eighty percent of the salt hoarded in Leiden City, and the remaining twenty percent was scattered in various sales points.
Sure enough, early the next morning, as soon as the doors of the various salt sales offices were opened, someone threw a lot of money at them, and directly emptied all the salt in the store and transported it to the estate of the Leiden Chamber of Commerce.
Since the purchase of the manor, Lu Yi has begun to open up underground space, on the surface, Leiden Manor is nothing special, not simple, not luxurious, but in fact, the manor has long been hollowed out, not only under the manor, with the manor as the center, the surrounding area of the underground has been hollowed out, used as the warehouse of the Leiden Chamber of Commerce.
Not very early in the morning, the carriages entered the manor, and when they entered, the carriages were full of salt, but when they came out, they were all empty, and for a whole day, the carriages were coming in and out one after another, which can be described as a busy traffic.
All the salt that was pulled into the manor was unloaded on the square, and after each batch of unloading, the abyss demonic beast would open the passage, and the bags of salt on the ground automatically slid down the passage, until they reached the warehouse more than twenty meters below the ground before stopping.
Since the carriages were hired by the Chamber of Commerce a week in advance, although the manor was extremely busy, outsiders didn't know what was going on, even if there was no salt to sell at the various sales outlets, everyone didn't think it was too surprising, and the goods should be replenished tomorrow, and there was no hurry.
However, in the next three days, the store still could not replenish the goods in time, and the residents were more anxious and rushed to other sales points to see if there were any other sales.
Faced with this situation, everyone was stunned and hurriedly reported the situation to the temporary political axe of the Duchy of Leiden.
In the past, when Leiden City was relatively stable, such a thing could not happen, I am afraid that as soon as Lu Yi's action ended, people would know about it, but now it is different, the temporary political axe is busy and has a very insufficient grasp of the overall situation, so they have not been able to get the news, until Leiden City panicked, and they received the news.
Just when the temporary political axe immediately held a meeting to discuss countermeasures, salt began to be sold in the market again, but the price tripled!
Just doubling the price is nothing, the key is that there are rumors in the city, saying that there is a beast tide on the salt road, and there will be no more salt to be transported to Leiden Mall in a short time, and the price of salt is destined to rise at a critical juncture.
As soon as I heard that salt may be out of stock, and it cannot be replenished for a long time, all the city residents panicked, salt is a thing, no matter how expensive it is, it is limited, and the usual amount of use is not large, a bag can eat for half a year! Therefore, even if the price triples, it doesn't matter, in order to avoid no salt to eat, all the residents are crazy, they are a big bag to buy at home, a big bag is enough to have 20 packs, enough to eat for two years!
For a while, there was a long queue at the entrance of the 100 newly opened shops in Leiden, all of whom waved money bags and bought large bags of table salt.
In the face of the looting in the market, the temporary political axe quickly got the news, but when they heard that there was a beast tide on the salt road, they immediately panicked, and the topic of the meeting immediately turned to the response of the beast tide, and soon made a decision, immediately sent only one hundred dragon knights, to investigate the situation, at the same time, the temporary political axe also immediately began to prepare a response plan for the beast tide.
Wyverns, like bipedal wyverns, are wurms, not real dragons, and are similar in strength to bipedal wyverns, but they are huge, bloated, not fast, and can't fly for a long time, and they have to rest every time they fly a distance, so after three days, they crossed the entire salt road, and it took another three days to rush back.
After going back and forth, a week passed, and when he learned that everything was normal on the salt road, and there was no beast tide at all, the temporary political axe finally understood that it was just a rumor.
When they set their sights on the market again, everything had calmed down, the salt in Lu Yi's hands had already been looted by the residents, and everyone had salt, so naturally they would no longer panic, and everything seemed to be back to normal.
Faced with this situation, some people soon thought that this was a conspiracy, which was made by the merchants for promotion, and was about to start the investigation, but the second wave of the Leiden Chamber of Commerce offensive had already begun.
After successfully completing the first speculation, the funds in Lu Yi's hands increased from 5 billion to 15 billion, and with more funds, the target he could choose was naturally greater, and he directly put the target on corn!
The so-called corn is not the kind of corn on the earth, but a small fruit growing on a woody plant, about the size of a mung bean, which can be eaten after being cooked in water, and is the most conventional food in the world.
The yield of corn is very high, the price is not expensive, but it is not cheap, while selling salt, Lu Yi eats corn in large quantities, as much as he wants, he buys everything he can buy, and as long as there is something to sell, he will buy it immediately.
