Lin Jue was sitting in his study while Lin Xiang was sitting in front of him. Lin Jue looked at Lin Xiang and said, "Xiang 'er, send someone to Viper Three tomorrow. I told him that I bought some grains, vegetables, and fruits from him."
Lin Xiang couldn't help but stare when he heard Lin Jue. Then he looked at Lin Jue and said, "Father, does Viper Three want to sell grains? It doesn't seem like they can make a lot of money. The shipping cost is too expensive. "
Lin Jue replied, "He doesn't want to do this kind of business. Moreover, he said that the quantity is sufficient. Xiang 'er, you go see him tomorrow and see if the quantity is really sufficient."
Lin Xiang nodded, then he said, "Father, what do you mean?"
"I just want to see if they have enough goods," Lin Jue said in a deep voice. "You have to know that food, vegetables, and fruits can't be stored for a long time. If they don't have enough people, they won't be able to do this."
Lin Xiang stared, then he said in a deep voice, "Father, you mean that if their supply is really sufficient, then it means that they have sufficient manpower? In other words, the strength of the person behind Viper Three is far beyond our imagination? "
Lin Jue nodded and said, "Right, that's what I mean. Actually, there's nothing to pay attention to about Viper Three. His identity isn't suspicious at all. The one we should pay attention to is Zhao Hai. However, Zhao Hai has always been living in seclusion. It's hard to see him go out. Therefore, we can only contact Viper Three right now."
Lin Xiang nodded, then he immediately said, "Father, what's the result of today's conversation? Will Viper Three join us? "
Lin Jue chuckled and said, "Yes, today went very smoothly. Viper Three has decided to join us. However, he's still a bit worried about us. He hopes that if he has any problems in the future, or if the City Lord is against him, then we'll help him."
Lin Xiang nodded and said, "That's a must. Otherwise, wouldn't we have already been defeated by the City Lord? It seems that he is also very clear that it is better for him to stand with us than with the City Lord. Father, do you think we should spread this news and let the City Lord give up? "
Lin Jue faintly smiled and said, "There's no need. As long as you buy something from him tomorrow, you'll have already told others about our relationship. I think the City Lord will understand what's going on. Right, Viper Three also mentioned something today. He said that the Ice Blade Gang won't act anymore, but he hopes that all the gangs in Aurora City will form an alliance. This way, we can better manage the gangs."
Lin Xiangyi frowned and said, "Form an alliance? Now that the Ice Blade Gang was so strong, he must have asked the Ice Blade Gang to be the Alliance Leader, right? What was he trying to do? Are you going to use this method to swallow up the other gangs? "
Lin Jue shook his head and said, "That's impossible. He should know that there are a lot of gangs in the city that are related to the various clans. If he really did that, then it would cause our clans to be dissatisfied. At that time, his gains wouldn't make up for his losses. Moreover, he also said that this alliance would be the same as our Chamber of Commerce. What do you think?"
Lin Xiang nodded and said, "If that's the case, then it's not impossible to agree. However, if he really dares to use his status as the Alliance Leader to interfere with the internal affairs of the other gangs, then the alliance would automatically be canceled. I think he wouldn't object to this."
Lin Jue smiled and said, "Right, Xiang 'er, you being able to think of this is very good. Xiang' er, how about this, if you have time, you can go and see Zhao Hai."
Lin Xiang nodded and said, "I also have the same idea. This Zhao Hai's identity is really too mysterious. If I don't see him, then I won't be at ease."
Lin Jue said in a deep voice, "Don't probe too much. For someone like Zhao Hai, even if you probe, it's useless. Right, didn't the Wu Clan order a lot of pills from Viper San? You should also go and order a batch from Zhao Hai. See if Zhao Hai can take out these pills."
Lin Xiang nodded and said, "Yes, Father. I know. I'll go in a few days. Tomorrow, I'll go and take a look at Viper San's shop."
Lin Jue nodded and said in a deep voice, "I really didn't expect that after so many years, no one would be able to do this business. It's really surprising."
Lin Xiang didn't say anything. In fact, regarding this matter, there wasn't a single person in Aurora City who wasn't surprised. However, since the matter had already been done, it was useless for them to say anything. They might as well let it develop.
Aurora City's major clans were very clear that although their clans could be considered as important figures in Aurora City, they were still lacking in the outside world. Therefore, when they faced Viper Trio, they didn't have the confidence to do so.
Viper San wasn't scary, but the scary one was Zhao Hai. His strength was unfathomable, and his background was unknown. He was the one that the large clans were truly afraid of. Therefore, they were very obedient.
The next morning, the Spirit Tree Grain Store officially opened. These stores were originally the Wu Clan's stores. Now, all of them had been renamed by Viper San. Moreover, most of them had become grain stores. Only a few of them had become magic weapon stores.
With so many grains in the beginning, it naturally attracted the attention of the entire Aurora City. Even if the ordinary people couldn't afford it, they still wanted to take a look at the grain stores and see what kind of grains they had.
However, when the people of Aurora City entered the grain stores, they discovered that the things in the stores were things that they had never seen before. There were vegetables, fruits, and all kinds of grains. Most importantly, whether it was vegetables, fruits, or grains, the prices were very low. Ordinary people like them were actually able to afford them.
This caused a sensation in the entire Aurora City. When did the grains in Aurora City become so cheap? Some of the grains could even be sold for one silver coin per catty. This price was really too cheap.
Because the price of these grains was really too cheap, the people of Aurora City didn't know what to do. This was because these grains were all varieties that they had never seen before. They really didn't know how these grains would taste. Therefore, although these grains were very cheap, they still didn't dare to buy them.
However, at this time, the people in the stores took out some of the rice that was made from these grains and directly placed it in front of the people in the city to taste.
After the people in the city tasted the rice made from these grains, they no longer doubted these grains and immediately started to buy them. In just a moment, there was a rush to buy the grains in Aurora City.
Of course, the people of Aurora City didn't only buy grains. Vegetables and fruits were even more popular than grains. This was because the vegetables and fruits in Aurora City were really too little. Some people might have lived in Aurora City for their entire life and have never seen vegetables and fruits. Therefore, these vegetables and fruits were now more popular than grains in Aurora City.
Fortunately, Zhao Hai had prepared a lot of these things. Not to mention a small city with a hundred thousand people, even a city with a million people would have enough to sell. But even so, Zhao Hai was still shocked by the purchasing power of the people in Aurora City. He really didn't think that the purchasing power of the people in Aurora City would be so strong.
Actually, the Great Clans also put in a lot of effort. The Great Clans bought a lot of things from the Spirit Tree Grain Store. From grains to vegetables to fruits, they bought a lot of them.
However, this kind of hot sales only lasted for three days. After three days, the market in Aurora City stabilized. After all, the Spirit Tree Grain Store had a lot of vegetables and fruits, so there was no need for them to fight over them.
However, in these three days, the Spirit Tree Grain Store's reputation had already spread. It even attracted some foreign merchants to come to Aurora City. They wanted to buy some grains from the Spirit Tree Grain Store and sell them in other cities.
Zhao Hai naturally supplied them with all his strength. The Lost Soul Empire had a lot of grains that they couldn't even finish eating. Not to mention a few cities, even if everyone in the Five Spirit Realms ate their grains, they still wouldn't be able to finish it. Because of this, Zhao Hai naturally opened up his supply. However, as for the other cities, Zhao Hai didn't just buy from them. He had already discussed with Viper Trio that the foreign cities would have to use the identity of a dealer to get their goods. Within a region, there would only be one dealer. Moreover, these dealers would have to put a deposit with Aurora City in order to ensure their profits.
In the past, when doing business in the Five Spirit Realms, there was no such thing. Because of this, when Zhao Hai said that he wanted to do this, Viper Trio broke out in cold sweat. He was afraid that the merchants wouldn't agree with their approach. After all, not only would the other party have to spend money to buy their goods, they would also have to follow the price that they offered. Most importantly, the other party would have to put a deposit with them. He had never seen such a way of doing business, so how could the other party agree?
In fact, Viper Trio was thinking too much. He didn't understand these merchants at all. The Arctic Continent was lacking in grains. As long as they had grains, they wouldn't have to worry about not being able to sell them. Moreover, the price that Zhao Hai set for them wasn't fixed. It didn't mean that they wouldn't be able to make money, it was just that the profit that they would make would be a little bit less. However, there was only one store in that region, so they weren't afraid that they wouldn't be able to sell their goods. Not only would they be able to sell their goods, they would be able to sell a lot of them. In addition, the price that Zhao Hai gave them included the transportation fee. It can be said that they were making a lot of money by selling the grains that Zhao Hai took out.
Merchants were profit-oriented. As long as there was money to be made, they would do this business. Even if the conditions were harsh, they weren't afraid as long as they could make money.
Additionally, Zhao Hai's Chamber of Commerce had just been established. They were lacking in manpower, so it was impossible for them to supervise the distributors. When the time comes, even if they were to sell the grains at a high price, Zhao Hai wouldn't know about it. Therefore, even if these merchants were to face Zhao Hai's harsh conditions, they would still gladly endure it.
Naturally, Zhao Hai didn't promise too many people. He only promised the merchants in the nearby cities that they would be able to sell his grains. This would make it easier to supervise. Moreover, Zhao Hai was also preparing to open his own grain stores in other cities. Naturally, it was impossible for him to fill up all the cities at once.
Because of these matters, Zhao Hai and the others were busy for more than ten days. Only then did the entire Spirit Tree Grain Store calm down. The matter was finally over.
Although the matter was finished, Viper Three was still very happy. This was because the grain business was very profitable. In just a few days, the amount of money they earned was more than what the Ice Blade Gang earned in a few years. Although the sales would decline in the future, it would still be stable. It can be said that the grain stores had now become chickens that lay golden eggs.
However, something that made Viper Three even happier happened. Although the merchants in the surrounding cities had left, another group of people came to the Spirit Tree Grain Store to order grains. These people were all small merchants, and their scope of business was very interesting. They were all small merchants who went to the small tribes to trade. When Zhao Hai first arrived in the Five Spirit Realm, he saw these small merchants who were trading with the villages. They generally didn't use money to trade, they were all bartering.
Although these small merchants weren't very eye-catching, their sales ability couldn't be underestimated. Although the villagers' lives weren't easy, they never lacked fur. Fur and beast meat were also in high demand. Because of this, these small merchants were able to earn a lot of money every year.
Of course, Zhao also told the small merchants that they could make money, and he wouldn't oppose them, but they shouldn't be too greedy. Before, when they traded grain with the villagers, the price was very high. The main reason for this was that there was very little grain, and the price was very high. But now, Zhao had a lot of grain, and the price wasn't high. If they sold it at the same price as before, then it would be unfair to the villagers. So Zhao reminded them not to sell grain to the villagers at too high a price. If they were to trade with the villagers at the same price as before, then if they were found out, then they wouldn't be sold any grain to them in the future.
Although the small merchants agreed, in Zhao Hai's opinion, his words weren't enough to deter them. After all, the place they were going to was very far away. Even if Zhao Hai wanted to supervise them, it wouldn't be easy. It was even more difficult than the merchants in the city. Because of this, it was hard to say what price these small merchants would sell at.
However, Zhao Hai wasn't prepared to let these small merchants go. He was prepared to monitor them closely for a period of time. He wanted these small merchants to be honest. Only in this way could his grain business continue for a long time.
As for whether or not people would suspect the origin of these grains, Zhao Hai wasn't worried. Even if they did, it would be impossible for them to guess that he came from another realm. And even if they did, Zhao Hai wouldn't be afraid. He was planning to invade the Five Spirit Realms anyway. Even if he was discovered, it would only bring forward his plan, it wasn't a big deal.
