Daybreak, the east was about to break, the first rays of the morning sun appeared.
The cold air of the night condensed into dew drops, remaining on the grass. Jin clan's temporary market was being dismantled. The tents were put away, the carpets on the ground were rolled up. The goods were wrapped and reloaded.
After staying in Jin clan for a few days, the caravan prepared to set off again.
To the merchants, no matter how many goods they sold or bought, they would still make a profit. Thus, although many people looked tired, they were filled with joy and smiles.
Xiao Die's expression was extremely ugly.
"Miss, I just checked, that Hei Tu almost exchanged all the goods. Among them, I actually saw three carts full of Jinzan grass! "
"Jinzan grass?" Shang Xin Ci heard this and frowned.
Xiao Die was furious, she pulled Shang Xin Ci's arm and said: "Even an outsider like me knows that Jinzan grass cannot be sold. But he still exchanged so much. Miss, this Hei Tu is messing around! "
"Xiao Die, calm down first, don't be impatient." Shang Xin Ci patted Xiao Die's hand: "These Jinzan grass should have been exchanged by him last night, I did not know. However, the other goods that he traded for had a certain logic to them as well. Think about it, it is already not bad for a mortal like him to be able to do this. "
"Miss, why are you speaking up for him? I am doing this for your own good. These goods are originally ours, why should we let an outsider squander them away? Most importantly, he can't afford it! Lord Zhang Zhu, why don't you persuade miss … "Xiao Die pouted.
Zhang Zhu sighed: "Miss, Xiao Die's words make sense. Lending them to him earlier was to test him. Now that we have seen through him, why should we let him continue? We all believe in miss' ability, but if we can reduce our losses, why not try to do so? When we reach Shang clan city, we will be able to struggle less. "
"This …" Shang Xin Ci pondered, she was still young, hesitation flashed in her eyes.
Previously, she felt that the goods Fang Yuan exchanged were reasonable. But this Jinzan grass …
Exchanging for so much Jinzan grass was definitely the biggest mistake.
Jinzan grass might be easy to preserve, but there was little demand, it could not be sold. Hoarding so much in one go, sooner or later it would rot in one's hands. In the end, he had no choice but to lower the price and sell it. It could be said that he was destined to lose money.
"Excuse me, are you Miss Zhang Xin Ci?" Right at this time, a middle-aged male Gu Master with sweat all over his forehead ran towards Shang Xin Ci with an anxious expression.
Looking at the metal token on his belt, he was a Rank two Gu Master.
Shang Xin Ci smiled. "Yes, I am. May I know who you are?"
The middle-aged man cupped his fists and said, "I am the personal guard of the Patriarch. I have a presumptuous request on the orders of the Patriarch."
"Oh? Please go ahead. "
"Sir, you should have purchased a large batch of Jinzan Grass last night. The whole story is like this. Our Patriarch loves Jinzan Grass, so he personally raised some to admire them. Unfortunately, the Young Lord secretly dug it up and traded it behind the Patriarch's back. Right now, the Clan Leader had already confined the Young Lord. At the same time, I want to redeem the Jinzan Grass that I sold to Miss. I beg Miss to let go of it. "
The personal guard Gu Master spoke politely, but there was a hard edge in the soft tone, showing his resolute attitude.
"Miss …" Zhang Zhu's expression was solemn, and he could not help but remind her.
The personal guard Gu Master represented the Jin Clan Leader, this matter could be big or small, and if it was not handled properly, it would be very serious.
Shang Xin Ci glanced at Zhang Zhu and nodded, expressing her understanding: "I understand your Patriarch's feelings. Actually, I am also a flower lover, I will definitely give all the Jinzan Grass to you, not keeping a single one. "
"Miss is understanding and reasonable, it is truly a joyous thing." The personal guard Gu Master's expression relaxed, showing a smile.
Shang Xin Ci continued: "This transaction was handled by one of my subordinates. I will call him over now. "
Fang Yuan had already been paying attention to the commotion here.
"Hei Tu, you are in trouble, Miss is calling you over." Xiao Die came to call him.
Fang Yuan rushed to the personal guard and cupped his fists: "I am in charge of the purchase of Jinzan Grass, I heard your Patriarch wants to buy it back?"
The personal guard Gu Master saw that the person who came was not a Gu Master but a mortal. After a moment of astonishment, his face showed slight disdain and arrogance.
He snorted: "That's right. Mortal, be happy. Lord Clan Leader is generous and benevolent, he is willing to use three thousand Yuan stone to buy back your three carts of Jinzan Grass. "
"So much?" At the side, Xiao Die was shocked, showing obvious joy in her eyes.
Zhang Zhu's tightly furrowed brows also gradually relaxed. Three thousand Yuan stone should be the highest market price for Jinzan Grass, this showed the Jin Clan Leader's sincerity.
But Fang Yuan shook his head: "Jinzan Grass is extremely precious, only three thousand Yuan stone to buy it back, isn't this too insincere?"
The personal guard immediately frowned: "What? According to the market price of Jinzan Grass, this is the highest price. Mortal, what price are you buying it for? "
Fang Yuan rubbed his nose: "Let's not talk about the price, we are all businessmen, we naturally have to buy low and sell high. Three thousand Yuan stone is too little, not selling! "
"You!" The personal guard clenched his teeth, stretched out his palm and spread his five fingers: "Fine, then I'll raise it by two thousand Yuan stone, five thousand Yuan stone!"
Xiao Die was shocked, she looked at the five fingers stretched out by the personal guard, her face quickly turned red with excitement.
"Five thousand Yuan stone? This is what you said, you can't go back on your word! "She was so happy that she almost jumped up. She did not expect things to turn out this way, Fang Yuan had already made a profit.
But Fang Yuan still shook his head.
The personal guard's face turned cold, and threatened: "Mortal, don't you think you are being greedy? These Jinzan Grass originally belonged to my clan. The two of you are not allowed to make private deals. Without proof of transaction, I can even say that you secretly stole the Jinzan Grass!! "
The personal guard's anger made Zhang Zhu's heart jump, he looked at Fang Yuan: "If you can sell it, then sell it."
Fang Yuan laughed: "You sell it and I buy it, it is a mutual agreement. What's more, it was your young master who sold it to me. If you insist that it was theft, then I can't do anything about it. Jin clan is powerful, they can bully the weak and directly snatch it back. Here, the goods are over there, you can take it. But as far as I know, I am not the only one who bought the Jinzan Grass. Many people have a share, is the Jin clan going to snatch it as well? "
Fang Yuan had already expected this situation, thus he only bought a large portion last night. The remaining Jinzan Grass was sold by that Gu Master to others.
"You!" The personal guard was furious, but under Fang Yuan's pressure, he could only clench his teeth.
He pointed at Fang Yuan: "Your clan bought the most, brat, are you trying to embarrass me?"
"Of course not, I only want to complete this transaction." Fang Yuan cupped his fists.
"Hmph, forget it! Then add another two thousand Yuan stone, seven thousand! Mortal, bring all the Jinzan Grass you bought here. "The personal guard shouted.
"Hei Tu, there is no harm in selling it. As a businessman, harmony brings wealth. "Shang Xin Ci couldn't bear the pressure any longer.
"Since miss has said so …" Fang Yuan nodded, before changing the topic: "Then I will take a step back. Eight thousand Yuan stone, you can buy all the Jinzan Grass I have. "
Once he said this, Shang Xin Ci and the rest's expressions froze.
The personal guard reacted, unable to restrain his anger: "What? You scoundrel!! "
Fang Yuan smiled: "Business is business, lord Gu Master, please don't be angry. Actually, I wanted to buy ten thousand Yuan stone, if lord cannot make the decision, why don't I talk to your clan leader? "
"No need!" The personal guard waved his hand, looking at Fang Yuan with extreme disgust: "You are a mortal, what qualifications do you have to meet lord clan leader? Quickly scram and take the goods, I will remember you taking advantage of others when they are down. Hmph! "
This was no doubt agreeing to Fang Yuan's price increase.
Soon, both sides completed the transaction.
Fang Yuan used goods worth less than five hundred Yuan stone, and in just one night, he exchanged them for eight thousand Yuan stone.
"Miss, two chests full of Yuan stone!" Xiao Die beamed with joy. During the entire transaction, she was trembling in fear, but now that she saw the Yuan stone, she felt everything was worth it.
Even her gaze towards Fang Yuan changed.
"Did you already know that? No, it should be a blind cat bumping into a dead mouse! "She sized up Fang Yuan and evaluated.
"Doing this will offend Jin clan, a mere eight thousand Yuan stone is not worth it." Zhang Zhu frowned, he looked at Fang Yuan with some dissatisfaction and warned, "Don't take such risks in the future."
Fang Yuan smiled, turning towards Shang Xin Ci: "According to the original agreement, half of these eight thousand Yuan stone will go to miss. My share of Yuan stone, please help me take care of it. "
…
"Is everything settled?" Jin clan leader stood on the hill, looking at the caravan leaving.
An elder stood beside him and reported: "Yes, clan leader. The Jinzan grass that was sold has been bought back. But Zhang clan took the chance to extort us, truly hateful. "
Jin clan leader raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Tell me. "
The elder explained in detail.
Jin clan leader laughed: "A mere eight thousand Yuan stone, don't worry about it. That Miss Zhang, on the other hand, has some intelligence, using a mortal slave to test the waters, allowing her to earn this sum of money. "
"Lord clan leader, I am worried that Zhang clan already knows our clan's secret, thus taking the chance to extort us?"
"Hehehe, don't be so suspicious. If they knew the importance of the Jinzan grass to our clan, how could they only extort eight thousand Yuan stone? Either they buy it all, or they don't buy it at all. But, just in case, send Gu Masters to keep an eye on them until they leave Huang Jin mountain. See if anyone sneaks into Huang clan village. If there is, kill them on the spot! "
Saying so, Jin clan leader revealed his killing intent.
The elder's heart shuddered: "Yes, lord clan leader!"
Taking one last look at the golden mountain behind him, Fang Yuan turned around with a smile on his face.
