Chapter 782: Sending Ore Veins Love to Sell or Not to Sell
Jiang Xingchen was busy all day, and as soon as he returned to the resting place in the evening, the head of the Hua family came and took a topographic map, which marked many small mineral veins. There is yellow silver, hematite, and even a small cold iron mine.
"Sir, you have done us a great favor this time, the emperor means, you can choose one of these veins!" said the head of the Hua family.
Jiang Xingchen was a little surprised, he really didn't want to gain anything when he helped the two countries. I didn't expect the two countries to be really interesting, and they actually took out the ore veins and gave them to him, which is really generous!
"This ...... It's too precious, even if the grain in the affected area is harvested, its value is not as good as the veins marked on it, right?" Jiang Xingchen hesitated, this gift was a bit heavy, he really wanted to refuse. But when he saw the small cold iron mine, he was thrilled again.
Cold iron ore is a rare mineral, very rare, not found in many countries in every country. Everyone treats them as treasures, as a reserve for weapons.
The Star Collar also has one, but it is too small, it belongs to the miniature ore vein, it has been developed for so long, it has almost been hollowed out, and now the leeks have led the other half of the wolves back to the territory.
And he has not yet researched alloys, and the role of cold iron in many fields is even more prominent. The cold iron ore that the Moon Shadow Kingdom took out was exactly what he needed right now.
Seeing Jiang Xingchen hesitate, the head of the Hua family smiled and said, "Sir, the account is not calculated by you. If there is no harvest in the arid areas this year, there will be a famine, and no matter how good the veins are, they will not be able to be eaten!"
Jiang Xingchen smiled when he heard this, the head of the Hua family is making excuses for himself. What can't be eaten as food, it's a big deal to buy grain at a high price, and now there are overseas businessmen coming to negotiate.
However, Jiang Xingchen will not debunk it. Because he had already decided to accept it, he had helped Moon Shadow resist the Xuanyuan Heavenly Sect in the first place. Although at that time, it was because Mei'er was here for treatment.
"Since that's the case, then I'll take it!" Jiang Xingchen smiled and nodded at the cold iron ore on the map.
The head of the flower family laughed. The emperor's meaning is very clear, the more contacts with Jiang Xingchen, the better. From the solution of this drought, we can see how important it was to befriend Jiang Xingchen at the beginning.
Then the head of the Hua family got up to say goodbye, Jiang Xingchen had been busy all day, and it was time to rest. There are still a few days to spare......
The next morning, the people of Moonshadow City were still enthusiastic and still celebrating the relief of the drought, and many people ran to watch the pressurized water well pump water out.
And what is incompatible with the atmosphere of the whole city is the courtyard where the shopkeeper Wu is located. Since he came back yesterday, Shopkeeper Wu and the young people under him have never shown a smiling face.
If it is said that the last time it failed was because Jiang Xingchen's methods were too clever. Then this failure is directly related to his conceit. If only he had done more research in advance. It would not be unaware of the changes in the grain-producing regions of the Empire.
Shopkeeper Wu didn't sleep all night, and he was thinking about how to explain to the prince and what to do with the food transported...... The young man never dared to speak, for fear of drawing the anger of the shopkeeper Wu to himself.
Early this morning, Shopkeeper Wu couldn't bear it, and just when he said that he was going to be confused for a while, the person in charge of negotiations between Moon Shadow and Daqin suddenly came to the door.
"What are they doing here?" Sitting in the living room, Shopkeeper Wu looked at the two smiling people opposite him with bloodshot eyes, and the anger in his heart rushed upward.
Originally, he thought that the other party would not come again. Now that you have found water, who will come to you to buy food? But the other party just came, and his demeanor was arrogant.
Shopkeeper Wu immediately understood that the other party was here for revenge. Otherwise, how could the two of them have such expressions, two days ago, they were still laughing and saying good things.
"What's the matter with the two of you?" asked Shopkeeper Wu with a cold face.
"Shopkeeper Wu, you are really a noble person. We're not done with the food talks!" said one of the negotiators.
"What? You still want to buy it. Could it be that the water drawn out is poisonous?" said Shopkeeper Wu sarcastically, narrowing his eyes.
"Hehe, it's one thing to find water to solve the drought. It's another thing to buy food!" said another.
Shopkeeper Wu sneered and asked, "Since that's the case." You've decided to buy food?"
"Of course I bought it, but the price was ......."
Shopkeeper Wu took a deep breath, his thoughts raced, this batch of grain is really a trouble now, if it can be sold, of course, it would be good. It's just that you can't even triple the price.
Thinking of this, the shopkeeper Wu said: "Our negotiation time is not short, since you want to buy, then I will take a step back, the first batch of 100 million catties of grain, a total of seven million, is three percent lower than the original price, how about it?"
The two people on the other side shook their heads with a smile and said, "Shopkeeper Wu, you said at the beginning, and by the end of July, the price would be raised to five times......
The corner of Wu's shopkeeper's eyes twitched suddenly, and the other party clearly slapped his face. Didn't you say that the price would increase, why is the price reduced now, but you are rising.
His face slowly turned red, and the shopkeeper Wu felt that his anger was about to explode, and the other party was not here to discuss business at all, but to humiliate him.
There was no shopkeeper at that time, and the case was about to be auctioned. But at this time, the person on the other side spoke again: "In view of the high price you asked for at that time, we decided that this batch of grain will give you 200,000 Moon Shadow Coins!"
"What?" Now the shopkeeper Wu couldn't hold back any longer, stood up and said loudly: "What you just said...... 200,000 Moon Shadow Coins!"
"That's right, it's 200,000, we think this price is reasonable!" the two laughed.
"Reasonable, reasonable fart, more reasonable than the original price is more than ten times lower, you can actually open your mouth......" The shopkeeper Wu exploded at that time, pointing at the two people opposite and scolding. The price of 200,000 yuan, not counting the freight, is nearly ten times lower than the grain itself, what do you think of us.
The two negotiators took a long time, looked at the shopkeeper Wu with a smile, and said: "You don't have to be excited, think about it carefully, don't be in a hurry......"
While talking, the two stood up and said, "We won't stay any longer, come to us when you think about it...... I advise you to think carefully, on such a hot day, the grain is easy to mold......"
With a "snap", the shopkeeper Wu dropped the cup in his hand, the blue tendons on his forehead burst high, and the two negotiators roared loudly: "200,000, don't even think about it, even if the grain is moldy and thrown away, I won't sell it to you!"
"Hehe, do you like to sell or not!" The two negotiators did not show weakness, and also glared at each other. Then he turned and left.
When the two negotiators left the hospital, Shopkeeper Wu was so angry that he pulled all the water cups on the table to the ground.
The other party came not only to humiliate him, but also to make him taste the feeling of being oppressed, which was very unpleasant.
After a long time, the anger of the shopkeeper Wu gradually dissipated, as if he had been pumped to the bone, and sat on the chair.
The price of 200,000 is too low, and he would not sell it if he was usually killed. But now it's different, the grain is in the storehouse, and you have to pay every day. Unless he really threw it away, but after all, it was a momentary anger, and it could really still be.
Pull it directly to the market to sell, no kidding, this is the Moon Shadow Capital, not you can sell it if you want to. The state controls food, and if you dare to sell it without permission, people will arrest you.
Ship it to the Eight Kingdoms, pull it up. There is an internal response for the son of the world, but it still requires a large amount of freight. When you get there, you can sell it at a low price, minus the cost of freight, it doesn't seem to be much more than 200,000.
Thinking about this, Shopkeeper Wu became irritable again, and he wondered if the Moon Shadow gang had already calculated it before giving the price of 200,000.
"Shopkeeper Wu, otherwise...... Give them 200,000 thousand!" said the young man weakly.
"Hey~" Shopkeeper Wu sighed heavily, and after thinking about it, it seemed that in addition to being purchased by Moon Shadow at a low price, there was only one way to wait for the grain to become moldy and throw away.
At this time, the shopkeeper Wu was full of regrets, and he inquired more about it, why did he end up today. Thinking about the scene of An Jiazi's rage, he felt a cool air coming from the inside out......
For three days in a row, the shopkeeper Wu was closed, and on the fourth day, he received a letter from the son of the An family, with one word on it: sell!
With just this one word, Shopkeeper Wu felt the anger of the An family's son, and he was terrified all day long!
On the 26th of July, Jiang Xingchen finally completed all the work, and Shopkeeper Wu also found the Moon Shadow Kingdom and agreed to sell it for 200,000 yuan.
Looking at the smug smiles of the two negotiators, Shopkeeper Wu felt that his heart hurt like being slashed by a knife.
After the handover was completed on the spot, the shopkeeper Wu left with his subordinates......
Jiang Xingchen, who had completed all the work, did not leave immediately, he rested at his residence that night, and when the drought was resolved, he could finally relax. After nearly two months of continuous work, he really felt physically and mentally exhausted.
Turning the day, Jiang Xingchen slept until the third pole of the sun, and as soon as he got up, he was taken to the Moon Shadow Palace by the head of the Hua family.
The Moon Shadow Emperor personally hosted a banquet to thank Jiang Xingchen for his help to Moon Shadow.
At the banquet, Jiang Xingchen heard about the food, and he couldn't help but move in his heart. Although he has helped alleviate this year's drought, he is still a major grain producing area, and many more areas have been affected. In other words, this year's food will be very tight.
The shortage of food meant that the amount of wine was reduced, and his spirits were also affected. Thinking of this, Jiang Xingchen proposed to buy some of the grain to make wine!
When the Moon Shadow Emperor heard this, he waved his hand at that time, what to buy, how much to buy, how much to pull away...... In this way, Jiang Xingchen got another batch of grain for nothing.
Of course, he couldn't get all the 100 million catties, as long as 20 million......
At the end of the banquet, when Jiang Xingchen said goodbye to the Moon Shadow Emperor and was about to return to the Qiankun Empire, Jun Immortal and Qin Manwu came from Great Qin and handed him a topographical map.
Jiang Xingchen smiled when he saw it, how could Da Qin be the same as Moon Shadow, could the two families have discussed it.
Now that you have received the gift of Moon Shadow, there is no pressure to accept Daqin's gift again.
After looking at the map for a long time, Jiang Xingchen suddenly pointed to a place and asked, "Governor Qin, what is this?" (To be continued......)
