Chapter 135: Looking at the Sea and Yi Zhen
Donghai City, Inner City. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Bing Luo clone twisted the teacup in his hand and looked at the scenery outside the window casually. At this time, several days had passed since he was hunted down by the Yanxia Daoist and the Yunxiu Daoist.
Outside the window is a bustling scene, with rows of houses neatly arranged and lined up one after another.
The streets were full of people, and even if he was on top of a high-rise building dozens of feet at the moment, he could hear the noise and shouting from below. Beyond this stretch of houses is a huge wall, and beyond is a huge harbor.
The port was bustling with people and goods everywhere. Seabirds are flying, white waves are rolling, and on the sea, from afar, there are hundreds of large and small ships. The small one is very small, but it is only a flat boat, and the big one is very large, straight like a small mountain.
Song Mingting took his gaze back and put down the teacup in his hand.
He is now in Donghai City within the territory of the Wind Thunder Sword Sect. Donghai City is the county seat of Donghai County, and it is also a large city in the territory of the Wind Thunder Sword Sect, with a population of millions.
Because this city is adjacent to the Giant Whale Sea, and there is one of the best ports in the Wind Thunder Sword Sect outside the city, there are a lot of people coming and going, and it is very prosperous. And the high-rise building he is now in is one of the few high-rise buildings in Donghai City, and it is a hundred feet above the ground, and you can see the scenery of the harbor outside the city at a glance.
"Guest officer, the view of the small shop is good, right?" The waiter on the side saw Song Mingting retract his gaze, and asked with a smile while adding tea to Song Mingting with his hands and feet.
Song Mingting smiled silently and nodded.
The place where he is now located is called Wangchaolou, which is a place of barter, belonging to a large trading house called "Four Seas Commercial Bank", which has a good reputation, mainly engaged in fishing, but also involved in auctions and other industries. The Four Seas Commercial Bank is one of the relatively large commercial houses in the territory of the Wind Thunder Sword Sect, and it can be seen in almost every big city of the Wind Thunder Sword Sect. Not only that, but in addition to the Wind Thunder Sword Sect, they could also be seen in the territory of other sects.
Therefore, the financial resources of the Four Seas Commercial Bank are quite abundant.
The waiter chatted with Song Mingting while talking witty, and always paid attention to the tea in Song Mingting's hand. Not long after, the cyan jade embedded in his ears flashed, and the waiter quieted down, quietly listening to the sound coming from the jade. After a while, he smiled and said, "Guest officer, everyone has arrived, and the Yi Zhen banquet is about to start." ”
Song Mingting bowed slightly.
It didn't take long for a warm and friendly voice to sound: "Thanks to all the guest officers who can afford our store, I am willing to let our store organize this Yi Zhen banquet." Now that several guest officials have arrived, there is no more nonsense to talk about, and the Yi Zhen banquet has officially begun. ”
Then the gentle and friendly voice paused, as if he was muttering something, but the other party did not mutter for too long, and quickly spoke: "Then let's start with the guest officer of Linjiangju, the guest officer of Linjiangju, please introduce your own treasures and the treasures you want to exchange later!" and then the voice disappeared.
Soon, a voice with a Shooting Tide Sword Pavilion accent sounded: "I have some scales of the Yellow Dragon Swordfish. What is the Yellow Dragon Knife Fish, I don't think it needs to be introduced below, right? Its scales can be used to refine scale armor and medicine, and its value is extremely high, and it is a natural treasure of the middle grade of the spirit level. I'd like to trade these scales for a tidal stone, I wonder who is sitting there?"
Song Mingting raised his eyebrows and twisted the teacup carelessly.
The Yellow Dragon Knife Fish is a kind of spirit animal that picks the week, and according to legend, it has the blood of the Yellow Dragon, and its body is slender, like a willow leaf knife, but its body is extremely hard, and it can attack enemies like a real willow leaf knife. This kind of week-picking spirit beast is full of treasures, and fish scales are one of them.
The scales of the Yellow Dragon Knife Fish can be used for both medicine and refining magic weapons, which is equivalent to a medium-grade material at the spirit level. The tidal stone is a kind of tide-bred water attribute strange stone, which contains the power of the tide, and is also a spirit-level medium-grade material.
But he didn't have tidal stones, but he didn't need the scales of the yellow dragon saury.
Song Mingting listened to the other party's introduction casually.
That's right, he's now attending a small bartering fair.
The business scope of the Four Seas Trading House includes the auction business, and it is quite reputable, so many monks are willing to entrust them to auction their items on their behalf. But even so, there are still some people who are reluctant to directly hand over their things to the Four Seas Firm for auction, either because they feel that their things are too precious, or because they are suspicious by nature, or because of various other reasons.
Therefore, in order to attract this part of the customers, Sihai Commercial Bank derived a new business on the basis of the auction, that is, to be a "broker".
The auction industry of Sihai Commercial Bank is very large, and its reputation is not small, and there are shops in many schools. In this case, just publish the message of "I have something and want to exchange for something", most of the people who have the same needs will be found, and then Sihai Commercial Bank will string together everyone's needs and provide a venue to organize a face-to-face transaction. And the reason why it is a multi-person trade fair, rather than a face-to-face transaction between two people, is because if it is just two people, the transaction is likely to be unattainable.
For example, a person who has the scales of a yellow saury and wants a tide stone, and another person who needs the scales of a yellow dragon knifefish, but he does not have a tide stone, only a young bird of a blue bird. In this case, the two people will definitely not be able to reach a deal. But if another person appears at this time, he happens to have a tide stone on him, and what he wants is Suyun Blue Bird, then the deal that could not be reached can be reached.
This is also the origin of Yi Zhenyan. Of course, this business is not unique to the Four Seas Commercial Bank, but has existed since ancient times.
However, this Yi Zhen Banquet is not something that everyone can participate in, only those who have heavenly and earthly treasures above the spiritual level are eligible to participate - otherwise, if even law-level and treasure-level items can participate in the Yi Zhen Banquet, it is impossible for the people of the Four Seas Commercial Bank to be busy at all.
In this process, Sihai Commercial Bank obtains profits by taking a commission, and the proportion of the commission is not too high, but it is not low, half percent. And the reason why he came to this Yi Zhen Banquet was because of the news released by the Four Seas Merchant House that someone owned Xingchensha, and he also happened to have something that could be exchanged for.
"I have tidal stones. Then another voice rang out.
Then there was a sound of footsteps, and it was the people of the Four Seas Merchant House who were showing each other's things to each other.
After a while, the voice with the tide stone sounded again: "My tide stone is the size of a fist, and your yellow dragon knife fish scales should only be a yellow dragon swordfish, a little less." ”
