In the end, the 120 manuals that Ouyang Shuo had hoarded were sold for a total of 85300 gold coins. After deducting the 10% transaction tax, he had earned 76770 gold coins. The cost of these manuals was only 6,000 gold coins.
The return on investment was more than ten times.
Ouyang Shuo had thought of sending a batch of manuals to his aunt to avoid the transaction tax. However, when he thought that his aunt would definitely bargain with him, he decided not to do so.
In Ouyang Shuo's plan, he had to find an emperor-grade manual for his aunt. Even if he were to sell these gold-grade manuals to Snow Rose, they would only be used by the guild's core members.
Ouyang Shuo did not have any feelings for them, so there was no need for him to be a good person.
Ouyang Shuo's crazy selling was not the players who did not manage to buy the manuals, but Feng Qingyang.
…
Jianxia County, the Overlord's office.
"Little sister, are we really not selling? Look, that guy raised the price of the last batch of manuals to 720 gold coins each. If we don't sell, I'm afraid the market will be saturated. "Feng Qingyang was anxious.
Sitting opposite Feng Qingyang was his younger sister, Feng Qingyue.
Feng Qingyue looked calm. "Don't worry, Big Brother. According to my prediction, the price of the manuals will definitely rise to more than 800 gold coins. As for the market saturation that you mentioned, there's even less to worry about. Didn't you see that the other party sold out all 120 manuals in less than a day? This shows the purchasing potential of China. "
"Taking a step back, even if the market is temporarily saturated, it's because this batch of funds has been swept away by the other party. After a period of time, when the funds are sufficient again, the price of the manuals will definitely rise again. You must know that gold-grade manuals are the most important hurdle. If the level is too low, the players won't be satisfied. If the level is higher, the players won't be able to afford it. Therefore, it won't be outdated for a long time. "
If Ouyang Shuo heard Feng Qingyue's analysis, he would definitely feel that she was his confidant. He could not help but feel that Feng Qingyue's foresight was indeed unique.
"Alright, I believe you." Feng Qingyang chose to compromise. It was obvious that he trusted this sister of his.
…
Ouyang Shuo held the largest sum of funds ever since the game was launched. Of course, he wouldn't leave such a huge sum of money in his storage bag to rust.
Ouyang Shuo took out 5000 gold coins and prepared it for the Bank of the Four Seas in Longxun Town. He then transferred the remaining 1770 gold to the Bank of the Four Seas as reserves.
That's right, in Ouyang Shuo's eyes, the current 1,000 or 2,000 gold coins were just spare change.
Apart from keeping 10000 gold coins in reserve, the remaining 60000 gold coins were all used to purchase food.
The partner was naturally the Cui Merchant Group. Cui Yingyou's cousin, Cui Shouren, was in charge of liaising with Shanhai County.
An order like this wasn't a small amount to the Cui Clan Merchant Group. Cui Shouren could not imagine that a small county like Shanhai County could possess such a strong financial power. It had only been a month since they started working together, yet their transaction had already exceeded 70000 gold coins. It was truly incredible.
Initially, the Cui Clan's Chamber of Commerce was only willing to cooperate with Shanhai County out of consideration for Cui Yingyou. Presently, the Cui Clan Merchant Group had really started to take this cooperative partner seriously, and they were placed on an even more equal position.
According to Cui Shouren, perhaps the silent Shanhai County would become an opportunity for the Cui Clan Merchant Group to soar once again in the future.
Cui Yingyou's accident was an enormous blow to the Cui Clan Merchant Group. The loss of goods was secondary when the clan's caravan suffered a robbery. More importantly, it was a blow to the merchant group's reputation.
In that incident, the Cui Clan Merchant Group had lost over 100 core members, and the senior managers had lost over 10 people. Not to mention that the whereabouts of the Cui Clan's Eldest Young Miss was unknown.
Cui Yingyou's reappearance was a new turning point for the Cui Clan Merchant Group.
In order to repay the Cui Clan Merchant Group, it was also to deepen the sincerity of the cooperation between both parties. Ouyang Shuo had also intentionally vaguely revealed his judgment of the food market in the next three months to Cui Shouren.
As for how much profit the Cui Clan Merchant Group could obtain from it, it would depend on how much confidence they had in Ouyang Shuo and the courage they had to do business. Ouyang Shuo couldn't decide that.
The Resource Division took an entire three days to transport 60 million units of food from the market to the huge granary that had just been built in the western suburbs of the city.
Many people in the territory were puzzled by Ouyang Shuo's actions. They couldn't understand why their Lord would purchase such a huge amount of food in one go.
Ouyang Shuo couldn't explain too much about this. In any case, the purchase of food didn't come from the territory's financial revenue. Even if they were puzzled, they didn't stop him.
As for players like Sun Xiaoyue, they didn't know much about Shanhai County or the management of the territory. They didn't have any idea about the amount of food.
This was the so-called 'the expert knows the ropes, while the layman just enjoys the show'.
During this period, Ouyang Shuo rushed to Dragonseeking Town with 1,000 Tang Sabers and 1,000 Composite Bows seized from Operation Wildfire. He even specially attended the opening ceremony of the Bank of the Four Seas' branch in Dragonseeking Town.
With Ouyang Shuo's support, Dragonseeking Town expanded its army by 2,000 people without hesitation.
The next day, they submitted an advancement application to the system. On the 10th of August, Dragonseeking Town would be besieged by bandits.
Taking advantage of this period of time, Dragonseeking Town arranged for Qin Qiong to lead the troops to frantically suppress the bandits. This was to train the newly formed troops and ensure that they would have the strength to fight when defending the town.
Of course, Wang Yuanfeng and his Three Bows and Eight Bulls Bed Crossbows were free reinforcements for Ouyang Shuo. This was a treatment that every member of the Shanhai Alliance could enjoy. Now, the number of Three Bows and Eight Bulls Bed Crossbows in Shanhai County had increased to five. This was also the reason why Dragonseeking Town was so eager to apply for advancement.
While Dragonseeking Town was busy promoting its territory, Ouyang Shuo was paying attention to the movements of the nomadic tribes while he was busy with another important matter.
According to the memories of his previous life, the second battle would be triggered when the tenth level 1 county was born in the game.
Ouyang Shuo had been preparing for this battle. This was only the final sprint.
Lei Xun of the Military Intelligence had investigated the movements of the nomadic tribes that Ouyang Shuo was concerned about and reported to him one after another.
It had been more than a week since Operation Wildfire. The news that the western part of Sky Border Town had been destroyed by foreign enemies had already spread to all the tribes on the grassland.
There were many different opinions about the enemy this time.
Some said it was the work of bandits. Whether it was the surviving warriors of Sky Border Tribe or other people who were lucky enough to encounter the enemy, they all pointed out that the enemy was wearing the clothes of bandits and behaved perversely.
Some said it was the work of a certain tribe and that the bandits were just a cover. The tragic course of the battle had already been investigated by all parties. The leaders of the various tribes generally believed that the bandits did not have such meticulous tactical arrangements.
There were also people who believed that it was the work of the feudal lord. The person who held this view was the former commander of the western part of the town, Lakeshon, who had been sent to prison by Monk and could be seen through at any time.
On the day that Lakeshon returned to the headquarters, he was relieved of all his duties by Sky Border Tribe's Khan Monk and sent to prison. Whether or not Lakeshon could walk out of prison alive depended on Monk's mood.
In the face of such a crushing defeat, although there was the element of surprise from the enemy, it was also a fact that Lakeshon's command was not good and he was impulsive and reckless. Therefore, Lakeshon confessed to his crimes and was willing to die to atone for his crimes. Perhaps only God knew what happened in the Khan's tent that night.
They only knew that although Lakeshon was sent to prison, Khan Monk did not say when he would execute Lakeshon. Just like that, he was left hanging.
The impact of the destruction of the western part of the town on the grassland was slowly becoming apparent. This time, it was no longer as lukewarm as the dawn operation.
The most direct thing was that the middle-sized tribes in the west started to become restless. Without the restraint of the western part of the town, these middle-sized tribes were no longer willing to be restrained by the Sky Border Tribe.
The small tribes were naturally terrified and uneasy. The Sky Border Tribe had always been their great backer. Now that their backer had lost an arm, the key was that they did not even know who the enemy was.
Would such a backer still be able to protect them?
If the small tribes were sheep, then the middle-sized tribes were hungry wolves. As for the Sky Border Tribe, they were lions on the grassland. The lion intimidated the wolves and protected the sheep.
Now, the lion was injured and the wolves surrounded them. Although the wolves did not dare to attack the lion, they could at least extend their claws to the sheep at the side.
Within the Sky Border Tribe, the enthusiasm for battle was also high.
The Sky Border Tribe had been a lion for decades. Their complex as the king of the grassland had long been deeply rooted and they could not tolerate the provocation of other tribes. For the defeat in the western part of the town, the tribe generally pointed the finger at the middle-sized tribes in the west. They suspected that they colluded with the bandits and directed this incident.
The reason was very simple. The direction in which the bandits retreated was to the west.
After the incident, Monk had sent the Khan's personal guards to chase after the enemy's tracks along the way.
However, according to the commander of the personal guards, Bori Tiechina, when they chased to the western wilderness, they completely lost traces of the enemy. It was as if they had disappeared into thin air.
How did such a large number of bandits disappear with tens of thousands of horses? There was no need to think. There must be a tribe or even a few tribes that were covering for them.
Even Monk could not suppress the desire for revenge within the tribe.
On the contrary, the middle-sized tribes in the south, east, and north were collectively silent.
Monk knew very well that this silence was only the final calm before the storm.
Therefore, he tried his best to suppress the warlike faction within the tribe and temporarily did not want to start a war with the tribes in the west. Otherwise, if there were any mishaps, it would truly be beyond redemption. (To be continued.)
