"Hello everyone, you have all seen, the old man is surrounded by the main suppliers of the previous trade fairs, they jointly entrusted the old man to announce a thing on his behalf, as we all know, this year's Xuangu Continent compared with previous years, not only has a rare drought disaster, but also the news of the war has come to the imperial capital, so this year's suppliers have invested more manpower, material and financial resources in the purchase of goods than in previous years, and the quantity is also very limited, so this year's trade goods, the price should be raised, and I hope you old partners understand. Li Zixiong said loudly.

"What!"

"How much?"

"I haven't heard of drought and war in the Xuangu Continent?"

The traders in the audience talked one after another, and several traders were even more puzzled in their words.

Li Zixiong looked at the questioning voices in the audience, and nodded to a businessman beside him.

The merchant immediately walked in front of everyone and said loudly: "The northern part of the continent, which mainly produces cicada silk, has encountered a rare drought this year, and the harvest in many areas has been halved, and the Hexi Forest in the middle of the continent, which is rich in wood, has also been killed because of the internal disputes of the Tumen tribe, and it was even more popular a few days ago, and several surrounding empires are dissatisfied with the diplomacy of the Yanyang Empire, and there is a faint intention to go to war..."

Qi Tian looked at the onlookers with doubts and interrogative expressions on their faces, and knew in his heart that the reasons for these price increases were all made up.

How do the most well-informed traders know about things that the most well-informed traders don't know?

The traders and merchants of various countries are also human spirits, and after a little thought, they can see Li Zixiong's intention to join others to raise prices.

It's just that they came with their own contracts and advance payments, as the Li family expected before, and it is absolutely impossible for them to return empty-handed, otherwise they will face high liquidated damages.

One of the trade merchants, wearing a moon hat and a blue robe, asked, "I wonder how much Boss Li is going to raise the price?"

Li Zixiong smiled slightly and said: "Whether the old man said this matter or not, it is the result of the joint discussion of all suppliers, and it will be posted in each store next." ”

Qi Tian scolded secretly in his heart, Li Zixiong is really an old fox, obviously the suppliers he contacted raised the price together, and he set eighty percent of the price increase, but at this time, it was said that it was the result of joint discussion, which was obviously a dump!

At the same time, he can probably guess that the price increase this time must be not small.

The surrounding trade merchants, you look at me, I look at you, all of them have heavy faces, and they also have a hunch in their hearts that this price increase is not so simple.

Afterwards, Li Zixiong and the suppliers around him left the trade hall, and the guys in their respective shops were in charge of the rest.

They all know that the next scolding is ironclad, in order not to tear their faces, and they can see each other well in the future, they can only choose to go home and escape...

As Mr. Lee and the other vendors left the central plaza from the neighborhoods, they all headed for the same destination.

-------

"Brother-in-law is really amazing! It's really a price increase!" Xia Qingxue said excitedly, Qi Tian was already a god-like existence in her heart, and every time something was about to happen, she could be accurately predicted by her brother-in-law.

"Hehe, remember our bet, wait for my brother-in-law to get it!" Qi Tian looked at Xia Qingxue with a wicked smile.

Xia Qingxue's face turned red and lowered her head shyly.

"Young Master, they're all gone, what are we going to do now?" Liu'er said at this time.

Qi Tian smiled slightly, looked at the traders who went to the shops to inquire, and said, "Let's also inquire and see what big fish there are." ”

Xia Qingxue and Liu'er didn't know what Qi Tian was thinking, but they didn't bother to ask, anyway, everything was Qi Tian...

The second daughter followed him around the central square.

I don't know if I don't know, but I'm really shocked when I ask...

This time, all local suppliers in Yunhai City, all trade goods have increased by 50%!

And the guys in each shop don't get in the oil and salt, no matter how clever the traders are, the guys in the store don't mention the price reduction...

If you buy it, at this price, if you don't buy it, you will leave!

Some smaller suppliers, seeing that the prices of those big shops have increased, they also raised the prices and did not mention the price reduction.

"You are just robbing! naked robbery! I will go to the city lord's mansion to sue you! Raise prices!" a trader in a blue robe stood in front of a shop and scolded angrily in broken Yanyang Emperor Chinese.

The guy in the shop didn't care, and smiled disdainfully: "Go and sue, Yunhai City is a free trade port, it's useless for you to sue Lord Wang!

"Call your boss out! I'm going to ask him face to face, is it right to raise prices collectively! We've been working together for so many years, can we have some business credibility?" the blue-clothed merchant asked loudly.

The guy laughed out loud, and then said in an unkind tone: "Our boss is not here, if you want to buy it, you can buy it, if you don't buy it, get out, don't delay me in business!"

The blue-clothed merchant wanted to say something, but was picked up by two big men, dragged out of the shop, and thrown into the street...

"You, you, you, how rude!" said the blue-clad trader, rising from the ground, patting the dust off his body, and scolding loudly.

But there was no response from the shop, so he could only snort and walk away.

Qi Tian watched everything with a smile on the side, and the more the shopkeepers and traders scolded, the more intense the conflict, and the brighter his smile became.

He followed the merchant and patted him on the shoulder.

"Hmm, who are you?" the blue-clad trader turned to see a young man stop him.

Qi Tian smiled slightly and said, "What's the matter, the acquisition didn't go well?"

The blue-clothed merchant snorted impatiently and said, "Think I wasn't ashamed enough just now?"

Qi Tian was stunned for a moment, then smiled "haha", shook his head and smiled: "It's not a shame to be thrown out, it's a shame to be unable to sell it!"

The blue-clothed merchant raised his eyebrows, and when he heard what the young man in front of him was saying, he asked, "Do you have the goods?"

"I'm Qi Tian, the second aunt of the Xia family. Qi Tian introduced.

The blue-clothed merchant frowned and said suspiciously, "Second aunt of the Xia family?"

Qi Tian nodded.

"The Xia family's warehouses have been burned, how can there still be goods?" the blue-clothed merchant wondered.

Qi Tian smiled mysteriously and said, "You don't have to worry about this, I'll ask you, do you want to buy goods at a reasonable price?"

The blue-clothed trader hesitated and nodded.

"You have also seen that now the prices of suppliers in the entire Yunhai City have increased by fifty percent, even if it is delayed, the price will not be reduced, what is the price you can afford in your heart?" Qi Tian asked again.

He originally wanted to sell the goods at the past price, but now that Li Zixiong has made the atmosphere of price increases, he is really sorry for himself if he doesn't take the opportunity to make a profit.

The blue-clothed merchant frowned, glanced left and right, and knew in his heart that it was impossible to buy goods at the past price, so he sighed and said, "Twenty percent, any more, I will have no profit, I can't go to Yunhai City for nothing." ”

Qi Tian nodded, and then asked in a low voice, "Do you know all the trade merchants who came to Yunhai City this time?"

The blue-clothed trader didn't know what Qi Tian was asking himself for, "Know some." “

Qi Tian nodded and said, "Early tomorrow morning, call all the traders you know who can accept a 20% price increase to Xia Mansion, and I will sell you the goods." ”

"Really?" said the blue-clad trader, looking a little excited.

Just now, he asked not only about that shop, but also about several other suppliers, but they were all ruthlessly rejected and driven out.

He was really anxious, if he really couldn't buy the goods this time, when he returned to his own country, he would immediately go bankrupt, and his wife and children would be displaced with him...

"Do you think I'm joking with you?" Qi Tian laughed.

The blue-clothed trader lowered his head and groaned for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, I believe you, since the Xia family was still in charge of Master Xia Zhengxin, I have been doing business with Master Xia, and the Xia family is the most reputable businessman I have ever seen! ”

Qi Tian patted him on the shoulder, gave Aske a reassuring smile, and turned to the other complaining trade merchants...

-------

Yunhai City Li Mansion.

Just now, he was standing with Li Zixiong in front of the Li family's shop, and they all sat in the living room drinking tea.

"Master Li, is this really going to work? What if those traders don't buy goods?" said one of the merchants.

Li Zixiong smiled confidently and said: "No, Boss Pan just put his heart in his stomach, how many years have we been doing business with traders from various countries, don't you know them? They all come with orders, if you don't buy goods from us, you will only lose more when you go back." ”

"If we sell at such a high price this time, will we offend those trade merchants, those of us who do procurement and supply, we will not make money without them!" another merchant asked worriedly.

"Boss He rest assured, whether it is a supplier or a trader, everyone is a businessman, where is the grudge in the eyes of the businessman, there is only interests! Moreover, this price increase is a common decision of everyone, not your family. Li Zixiong comforted.

"I hope so!"

At this time, a young man who looked like a man quickly ran in and said with a smile on his face: "Master, the trade merchant from the Lion King Empire has ordered 100,000 gold coins of wood from us. ”

"Hahaha..." Li Zixiong laughed, then looked around at the people around him, and said: "How about it, there is already a deal! The old man has already said, don't worry, since we want to eat a fat man, we must be patient! Today is the first day of the trade fair, and there are still six days left, and soon, these trade merchants will accept the fact that the price has risen, and they can only take out gold coins to buy our goods. ”

The people around looked at each other, and now that things had come to this point, they could only move on.

"Master Li is wise!"

"What Master Li said is right!"

"We all look forward to Master Li!"

Li Zixiong looked at the flattering words of the people around him, and laughed secretly in his heart, because there was still a plan slowly forming in his heart.

"Daddy, my son is back. Li Mingyan walked into the living room quickly.

"Mingyan is back. Li Zixiong said with a smile, but soon, he found that his eldest son's face was a little wrong, so he said to the people around him: "Bosses taste tea first, and the old man and Xiao'er have a few words." ”
