"So many goods, it won't be cheap. At least fifty thousand Yuan stone. "The Jin clan Gu Master looked at Fang Yuan suspiciously.
After getting permission from Shang Xin Ci, Fang Yuan immediately found several Jin clan Gu Masters. The person in front of him was already the sixth person.
"I don't have Yuan stone." Fang Yuan shook his head, "But I can use my goods to exchange for your goods."
"Barter?" The Gu Master slightly raised his brows, not very surprised. Bartering was also a common thing, especially in merchant caravans.
To him, as long as the value was not too different, bartering was not a loss.
"Then what goods do you intend to use to exchange?"
Fang Yuan led him to look at the goods on the spot.
Jin clan's Gu Master frowned: "Your goods are cheaper than mine in the market."
"But in this golden mountain, you can sell them for a good price, right?" Fang Yuan laughed.
The Jin clan Gu Master frowned even more: "If the price is set too high, it won't sell anymore."
"Then sell them slowly, there will be a day when they are all sold out. Rare goods are more valuable, at that time, you can just sit at home and collect money. "Fang Yuan smiled.
The Gu Master laughed heartily, he said so much just to lower the price, but his heart was already moved.
"You are not bad. Although you are a mortal, you are neither servile nor overbearing. I have three shops, are you interested in helping me? I will give you the status of a shopkeeper! We can discuss the salary. "The Gu Master patted Fang Yuan's shoulder.
Fang Yuan tactfully refused, making this Gu Master feel some regret.
"Hei Tu, what the hell are you doing!" After this transaction, Xiao Die ran over with a cold expression.
"You actually exchanged all of Missy's goods? What are you trying to do? You are too daring! "Xiao Die stomped her feet in anger," Don't you know, our goods are all carefully selected by Missy. If we transport them to Shang clan city, we can sell them for double the price! Quick, exchange them back! "
Fang Yuan's expression turned cold: "Your Missy has already lent all her goods to me. In other words, these goods are all mine. Hmm … I'm handling my own goods, what's wrong with that? "
Fang Yuan glanced at Little Butterfly with a cold glint in his eyes.
Xiao Die shuddered and felt her heart skip a beat.
Fang Yuan decided to expose himself a little more. This was the first time he spoke to Little Butterfly without any pretense.
Xiao Die was originally eloquent, but at this moment, there was a chill in her heart. "You, you … I'll tell Miss, just you wait!"
She tried her best to hide her inner emotions, but she still ran away in a panic.
Of course, her snitch did not cause any trouble to Fang Yuan.
However, the servants that Shang Xin Ci brought also had a lot of opinions about Fang Yuan's actions. Many people discussed in private, thinking that Hei Tu had gone mad.
Fang Yuan knew the value of the original goods, which also made him realize Shang Xin Ci's business talent.
However, this was the first time the latter was doing business. Although he had talent, he lacked experience. Merchants did not simply transport goods to the terminal and earn a profit from the price difference.
A real expert merchant earned money along the way. It was to use a keen eye to discover business opportunities in time; to be familiar with the specialties of each famous mountain and the needs of each big family; to establish a network of relationships and benefit from both sides.
Of course, these requirements were too high for Shang Xin Ci. After all, she was only sixteen years old this year. Although she had talent, she was still a young girl.
In Fang Yuan's previous life, he spent nearly a hundred years doing business. He had mixed into a caravan and served as a leader. He had opened a shop and a stone gambling shop. He had also held an auction.
In terms of experience and vision, the leaders and deputy leaders in the caravan were not even worthy of carrying Fang Yuan's shoes. Not to mention Shang Xin Ci who had just started doing business.
"There is still some distance to Shang Liang Mountain. If I operate wholeheartedly, I can at least increase the value of this batch of goods by seven or eight times! "
This multiplier was already quite terrifying. Any higher, and Fang Yuan could not do it. Due to all kinds of practical conditions, seven or eight times was already the highest standard in this world.
"Of course, if I use illegal methods, not to mention seven or eight times, even seventy or eighty times is easy." Thinking of this, Fang Yuan could not help but think of a poem from his previous life —
The law-abiding worries every day, the strongman sings happily every night, harming others to benefit oneself rides horses and mules, the upright and fair starve. Repairing bridges and roads is blind, killing and arson are many, I go to heaven and ask Buddha, Buddha says: I have no choice!
Haha, the so-called system and laws are all used to oppress the masses and restrict the weak.
No matter which world, it is the law of the jungle!
Thus, even in the era of law, there were countless influential people who used loopholes in the system to escape the punishment of the law. Not to mention this Gu Master world where strength speaks the loudest?
In Fang Yuan's previous life, he had painstakingly built up a fortune of close to ten million and countless businesses. Then, he was casually annexed by the strong, going bankrupt and living on the streets.
For the next four hundred years, whenever he thought of it, he would be extremely glad that he had this experience!
Thanks to hardship, it taught people the truth!
It was this experience that woke him up, and all kinds of restrictions that he had been brainwashed into on Earth were shattered.
People were often deceived not because of the scene in front of them, but because of the shackles in their hearts.
To Fang Yuan, if he abided by business ethics, as a proper merchant, he could at most earn seven or eight times.
If he used some illegal methods and became a bad merchant, he could earn ten times more.
If he abandoned his duty and swindled to his heart's content, becoming an unscrupulous merchant, he could earn ten times more.
If he directly killed and looted, he did not even need to use capital. A business with no capital was always the most profitable!
But Fang Yuan's current business had other motives. Thus, he could not use any illegal methods. This made him feel like his hands and feet were tied.
However, on the night before the caravan was about to set off, a Jin clan Gu Master secretly came to find him.
"I have a private transaction, are you interested?" This Gu Master was one of the people who had bartered with Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan did not mind at first, but after five minutes, he changed his mind.
"You are saying, someone wants to sell Jinzan grass?" He was extremely astonished, even suspecting that he had heard wrongly.
Jinzan grass could not be replaced by other materials for Jin clan, it was an extremely important strategic resource. Because of its refinement material, Jin clan could refine large amounts of golden silkworm Gu. Now, someone actually wanted to sell it?
In Fang Yuan's memories, it was because Jin clan had a large amount of Rank three golden silkworm Gu that their strength increased greatly, allowing them to eliminate Huang clan and dominate a region.
"Wait a moment, Huang clan still exists now. That is to say, Jin clan has not completed the incomplete recipe for the golden silkworm Gu? That's not right, according to this period of time, they should have made some progress. Otherwise, why would they plant large amounts of Jinzan grass? "Fang Yuan's thoughts flashed like lightning.
He purposely probed, "My goods are almost finished. Jinzan grass is an uncommon material, although it is rare, very few people need it … "
Seeing Fang Yuan show signs of rejection, that Gu Master immediately became anxious, "This price is negotiable, we can discuss it properly."
Fang Yuan's gaze flashed, seeing that the other party was in a hurry, he continued to try to lower the price.
After a few rounds of bargaining, the price of Jinzan grass was pushed to its lowest point, a tragic sight to behold.
The other Gu Master's face turned pale, his expression also turning ugly, his tone becoming impatient, "You win, we'll go with this price, can we make the deal?"
This price was very low, much lower than the cost of cultivating Jinzan grass itself. If he sold it, it could be said that he would lose everything.
Jin clan's Gu Master also understood this, his heart bleeding secretly.
Fang Yuan also knew this was his limit, but he shook his head, "This price is too low, honestly speaking, I don't really believe your attitude."
Jin clan's Gu Master immediately scolded, "You bastard, you were the one who pushed the price down, and now you're saying it's too low?"
Fang Yuan spread his arms, "You said it yourself, this is a private transaction, there is no proof of delivery. If you sell me fake goods, who can I reason with? Look, the caravan is leaving tomorrow. By then, even if I suffer a loss, I will have to leave. "
"Your suspicions are true …" Jin clan's Gu Master's anger subsided, "Don't worry about the goods, they are 100% genuine. I'll tell you the truth, this was secretly taken out by my young master to sell. "
Fang Yuan's eyes shined with brilliance, at this point, he had finally obtained some useful information.
He purposely exclaimed, "Your young master stole it?"
"This Jinzan grass is actually the clan leader's favorite plant, thus he specially planted three mu of it. Who asked our clan leader to have such a special hobby. So you don't have to worry, the Jinzan grass is not something important, even if the son was found out, he would only be beaten and scolded. "The Gu Master said.
Fang Yuan heard this and immediately understood.
So it was like this!
Jin clan had always been determined to restore the Golden Silkworm Gu recipe. At this time, they already had some ideas and knew the importance of the Jinzan grass, thus they planted three mu of it.
However, to prevent the Huang clan from noticing this, this information was restricted to the higher-ups of the clan. Even the young master did not know. He only thought that the Jinzan grass was planted by the clan leader for fun.
The Jinzan grass took a long time to nurture, usually requiring four years to mature from a seedling.
In his memory, the Jin clan attacked a year later. The Rank three Golden Silkworm Gu's attacks were sharp, eliminating the Huang clan and starting to dominate Huang Jin mountain.
If these three mu of Jinzan grass were gone, the market would not be able to obtain such a large amount. Then the Jin clan would have to delay for several years to eliminate the Huang clan.
Obviously, the Jinzan grass was a hot commodity!
If he really bought it, he would poke the Jin clan's hornet's nest.
If it was a normal person, they would definitely avoid it, but Fang Yuan saw a huge advantage in it.
Although this piece of meat was boiling hot, it was already in his mouth, how could he not eat it?
To speak the truth, although Fang Yuan had the Heavenly Essence Treasure Lotus, he still had a need for Yuan stone, and this need was not small.
When he arrived at Shang clan city, he would need a large amount of Yuan stone to buy Gu worms. Just relying on the Heavenly Essence Treasure Lotus' daily accumulation was not only troublesome, it was far from enough.
"That young master is a wastrel. I think he is usually doted on by the clan leader, maybe he owed money recently and is tight on money, so he placed his sights on the Jinzan grass. Hehehe … "
Thinking of this, Fang Yuan laughed.
This piece of meat, not only would it help him buy Gu worms, it would also leave a deep impression on Shang Xin Ci. This was killing two birds with one stone.
The Jin clan Gu Master saw Fang Yuan's smile and also laughed: "That means you agree?"
"Of course." Fang Yuan looked at him. If this deal went through, this guy would definitely be out of luck.
