Chapter 017: Price War
Money money money money is connected to life.
Those who have money are masters, and those who don't have money are all scum.
This was not said in vain, the foreign merchant raised his voice and shook everyone at the scene.
Now there were people who were lining up with the 'loot' and wanted to trade with the senior brothers, and they suddenly came to their senses, quickly stopped their hands, and turned to the foreign merchant who came unexpectedly.
The disciples who had not yet had time to trade with the senior brothers did not do this business anymore, and unanimously flocked to the foreign traveling merchant, scrambling to trade with him, while those disciples who had already traded all the 'loot' at a low price before this time had a dumbfounded expression, heartache and remorse.
How can there be such a good thing in this world?
It's really strange that there are many things every year, especially this year!
Not only the disciples who participated in the 'Field Combat Special Training' and cultivated to the 'Immortal Realm', but also those senior brothers who were collecting 'loot' everywhere after lowering the price at the beginning, were also stunned by the game of the traveling merchants.
Really fake!
With such a high price, does he still have any money?
No matter what, I'll sell it too!
As a result, most of the senior brothers who were the 'acquirers' before, seeing that there was a bargain to take advantage of, regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, changed hands and shipped all the 'loot' they had acquired at a low price to the traveling merchant game.
It's normal for big fish to eat small fish, and small fish to eat shrimp, and besides, not all disciples who have cultivated to reach the 'Elixir Realm' and live in the 'Thousand Buddha Temple Headquarters' have an account on the 'Floating Life Palace', and the way to obtain this thing requires a 'recommender' with deep internal qualifications, and it is not so easy to get it.
Therefore, most of them have never been exposed to the 'Floating Temple Culture', and they don't know that there is such a large virtual trading market in this world.
The reason why they are here to buy the 'trophies' in the hands of these disciples who participated in the 'Field Combat Special Training' is very simple, it is nothing more than the word 'cheap'.
It is about 20 percent cheaper than the purchase price they usually buy in the sect's internal transactions, and about 50 percent cheaper than the selling price...... In other words, the purchase price given by the foreign merchant now is equivalent to the selling price of the same item when they usually trade within the sect.
In that case, why not take the opportunity to change hands?
Of course, this is just the wishful thinking of most disciples who have reached the 'Elixir Realm' but have not broadened their horizons, but it is not suitable for the few disciples who have a 'Floating Life Palace' account and have been in contact with the 'high-end culture' related to the 'Floating Life Palace', because they know in their hearts that the kind of acquisition they made at the beginning is actually only equivalent to one-eighth to one-tenth of the price of selling similar items in the 'Floating Life Palace'.
The price gap between the two is huge!
It's an opportunity to make a big deal and make a profit, so even if the purchase price is doubled, they don't want to let it go!
If it is doubled, it will be equivalent to a quarter or a fifth of the selling price of similar items in the 'Floating Temple', and the price difference between the two is still huge, and once it changes hands, there is still a huge profit to be made.
As a result, the tide rose, and these few senior brothers, after experiencing the initial surprise, quickly calculated the benefits, and followed the 'price increase' in a hurry, shouting out the price equivalent to that of the traveling merchants, and in the name of 'fellow senior brothers', attracting the disciples to sell the 'spoils' in their hands to them.
This is quite an amazing move!
The big guy is still saying behind his back, that the traveling merchant is like a 'Muggle', his head is in water, and he even uses the selling price as the purchase price, so stupid that there is no boundary! I didn't expect that as soon as I turned my back, there were a few 'Muggles' with such heads in the water inside my senior brothers, which was really incredible. ...,
But it's unbelievable, it's all at this time, and the rush to buy is the key to the current situation, and the few senior brothers who 'understand the market' are busy looking around, where do they still have the heart to care about him?
At this point, the dream of the traveling merchants to make a fortune was shattered, and a large number of fellow disciples in the 'Thousand Buddha Temple' went to the senior brothers who were willing to buy the 'spoils' in their hands at a high price, bartered and made friends by the way.
“......”
You Shang looked at the long trading queue in front of him that quickly dispersed in the evening, and the indescribable loss in his heart, at this time, Wen Bin paced over calmly and leisurely, and talked with him with a smile on his seemingly excellent Youzai, and then happily turned around and walked away.
And then.
"I'm willing to double it again!" At this moment, the posture of the traveling merchant game, as if he had won the support of a certain bigwig behind him, was full of spirit, raised his right arm, raised an index finger, and said heroically: "On top of the current purchase price, I will double it again! That is, it is equivalent to four times the initial purchase price! I am willing to use four times the price to buy your 'spoils'! Tong Su is not bullied! If you are willing to trade with me, please come and line up!"
Wow –
That voice shouted out, it was very shocking, just like a boulder falling into the rolling river, which caused an uproar in an instant!
"I'm sorry, senior brother, let's not do this deal for the time being, ah!" Finally, I have calculated the price of all the 'loot' in my hand, and the things are almost handed over, and a certain disciple who is waiting to 'clear the money and goods' with the other party, after hearing about it, suddenly withdrew his hand, and held the 'loot' he had collected with great difficulty in his arms like a treasure, and rushed at the person in front of him with a smile. The senior brother who bought his own good things at a low price snorted, turned his back, and rushed over to the foreign merchant next to him as if he was smeared with oil, and shouted loudly: "I want to trade! I want to trade! The price is calculated! I'll trade with you!"
“......”
was severely despised by the senior brother who released the pigeon.
It's just that he can't be blamed for this, it's all to blame for the price offered by the other party's traveling merchant is too high, making similar incidents a common situation.
Almost everyone flocked to the game, and once again gathered in front of the wandering merchants, each divided into three long dragon-like teams of 'left, center, and right', and Baba waited to trade with him.
Four times the initial purchase price, which is equivalent to four-eighths to four-tenths of the price of similar items in the 'Floating Temple', is simplified, that is, one-half and two-fifths, and there is still considerable room for profit.
But!
What is said here is the 'selling price', but in fact, the selling price of 'one-half' and 'two-fifth' has occupied about 70~80% of the 'purchase price' of similar items in the 'Floating Life Palace'.
Because, even if they want to sell the 'loot' they have acquired in the 'Floating Temple', they still need to rent a stall or an 'automatic vending rack', and these two things are already quite expensive (for poor people like them) just for rent, if it is not for the huge profits and the huge number of items for sale, they will basically not make much money to do this business, and if they do not do it well, they will lose money.
Isn't it a waste of time and a waste of effort?
In that case, why do you have to earn it? It's better to give it to him!
At this level, even the few senior brothers who had 'foresight' and 'long-term vision' couldn't help but look at each other, and they didn't know who started it, and resolutely turned around and walked over to the traveling merchant, and the rest of the people suddenly realized: It turns out that the general trend has gone, and it is the last word to accept it when it is good...,
So they all rushed over in a swarm, waiting at the back of the long queue, waiting for the deal with the traveling merchants.
......
After that, every two or three days, the wandering merchant would come to them and buy from everyone the 'loot' of their recent harvest at the customarily high price, or pay a 'silver ticket', or pay a 'panacea'.
The 'silver ticket', on the side of the 'Floating Life Palace', is really a cheap commodity, and it is not even qualified to be reversed into a 'Kabei', and the 'panacea suitable for taking in the territory of Xianyuan and of excellent quality' is regarded as a treasure here, but on the side of the 'Floating Life Palace', it is just a 'high-grade pet ration'......
The traveling merchant gambled with the 'indigenous coins' and 'high-grade pet rations' that he regarded as 'scum' and the people he regarded as 'indigenous' to make a steady profit and not lose money.
...... Yes, you read that right, the person who 'gambled' was not actually a 'traveling merchant', and even more, this guy was not born in the 'human world', but came from another 'immortal cultivation realm', because he had traveled in many realms all year round and learned to speak 'human language' (of course, 'human language' is just one of the 'foreign languages' he knows)......
To put it bluntly, he was just a reliable and capable subordinate who was employed by the 'Seventh Hall Master of the Floating Life', and that's it.
The reason why he dared to spend a lot of money to buy these 'inferior quality' was actually the 'indigenous property' that he did not look down on at all, just to fulfill the work tasks assigned to him by his master.
Although this kind of work is not beneficial to him, as a 'small clerk of the Seventh Hall of Floating Life' who eats wages and receives a pension, he cannot disobey the orders of his master.
It's just that, out of the supreme privilege of the 'Your Excellency the Lord of the Seventh Hall of the Floating Life', it is not necessary to spend a penny to rent a stall in the most prosperous commercial area or to occupy the 'automatic vending rack' for many years...... Therefore, although these things are all scum, if they are taken back and sold, there is still a considerable profit margin.
It is precisely because of this that the loyal and kind 'Little Staff of the Seventh Hall of Floating Life' can work hard and complain, and privately regard this job as an 'exotic tour'!
Until the middle of the month, the traveling merchant game came again, and after buying all the 'spoils' from the hands of the 'natives', he was invited by his employer Wen Bin to find a barren mountain and ridge with no one around, and began to settle the accounts.
