Chapter 23 Promotion of Commerce

Looking out from the scene, although Xiliang City suffered a loss, it would have greatly benefited Jack Ma.

However, Li Gu is not a fool. Ma Yunqi has given so many benefits. On the one hand, it can ensure that both parties have maintained a cooperative relationship, and on the other hand, it has solved a problem for Xiliang City to avoid falling out with the Xiliang horse thief.

Ma Yunqi got the benefits given by Xiliang City, so it would be impossible not to give back gifts. So he promised Li Gu that he had a good horse in the shop and Xiliang City had the right to buy first. However, if Xiliang City didn't want it, it would have to be sold to others.

After listening, Li Gu did not object.

The next day, Ma Yunqi led a thousand horses and dragged three thousand horses into Xiliang City under the inspection of the guards in Xiliang City and joined Xiliang Business.

Xiliang City has started selling horses.

In the East Commercial District of Chengdong, Ma Yunqi's shops were given three times larger than those of other players (that is, three stores opened up the walls and then decorated them), making Ma Yunqi feel more shiny on his face.

What is the business in Xiliang City? Ma Yunqi had already said to the old man living in the city, or Ma Yunqi had been coveting for a long time. When he was not dozing off, someone gave him a pillow. Li Gu is still very good at being a human being. In private, Ma Yunqi gave a batch of Thousand Mile Horse Li Gu. Li Gu did not say anything but accepted it. He gave so many benefits to Xiliang horse thieves. This Thousand Mile Horse Li Gu was well-deserved and gave it to absolutely boring.

Ma Yunqi is a smart person, and the horse industry in Xiliang City is the only one who owns his own family, so the future business can be said to be coming one after another, but on the first day of opening, it will definitely become famous.

Things in the store have been prepared long ago, just waiting for Ma Yunqi's people to enter.

After a while, the Xiliang horse thieves and the Xiliang horse thieves cheered and applauded by the relatives of Xiliang horse thieves, "Weique Bole" officially opened, and the name was named by Jack Ma himself.

Outside the crowd, Li Gu was watching Gotulu with his face indifferently, thinking that Ma Yunqi had actually read several books, and even Bole knew him.

Suddenly, Gotulu quietly said in Li Gu's ear: "Deputy General, come here."

Li Gu looked back and saw Tian Yinke walking towards him with four sword guards. He was crushing people to death with his first level. Li Gu took Gotulu and walked towards Tian Yinke quickly.

"I have met the deputy general." Li Gu and Gotulu bowed to Tian Yinke with a respectful look on their faces.

Tian Yinke nodded, looked at the crowd and said with a smile: "Today is much more lively than usual."

"Today, Ma Yunqi's shop was officially opened. The relatives of the horse thieves who lived in the city came to support the scene, so they were naturally much more lively than usual." Li Gu did not dare to neglect at all. This deputy general was not as simple as he looked at. Just imagine that a person could go deep into the capital alone and find out so many confidential information, and even get back the legendary ancient Seven Swords. Will such a person be simple? Moreover, his identity when he was in the capital was the commander of the Jinyiwei. What position was that? The emperor's real personal soldier.

Even the Emperor of the Celestial Empire trusted this person is extremely cunning.

Tian Yinke didn't know how Li Gu viewed him. As for Li Gu, Tian Yinke only thought he was an ordinary NPC, but learned from them that everything Li Gu did, and they couldn't help but let Tian Yinke look at Li Gu differently.

Now, Tian Yinke is the deputy general of Xiliang City defending the city. When Tian Yinke first arrived in Xiliang City, he was absolutely bored and arranged four sword guards for him, so that Tian Yinke would first get familiar with the situation in the city.

"Mr. Li, what are they going to do?" Tian Yinke looked at the door of "Weique Bole" that led out three tall and strong horses, and couldn't help but ask Li Gu.

Li Gu frowned slightly, looked over, shook his head and said, "I don't know much." But he was worried. He was not afraid of Ma Yunqi's people causing trouble, but there was a new deputy general around him. Who knows his temperament? The Jinyiwei is very cruel.

Ma Yunqi walked out and bowed to the people around him and said aloud: "Today, the store is open. Thank you for your support, in order to get a prize..." Then he pointed to the three horses and said: "Be the first to sell these three thousand-mile horses. I wonder if you are interested in it?"

The players and merchants present naturally saw that the three horses were not in a mess. Unexpectedly, they were actually a thousand-mile horse. This is a real good horse, so someone asked how much it cost?

"No money selling." When Ma Yunqi heard someone ask how much money, Ma Yunqi's face turned a little wrong. He has always been bartering with Xiliang City. Where did he talk about money?

"No money?" When many players heard this, they were all confused and talking.

Ma Yunqi raised his voice and continued: "Yes, don't have money, just exchange for food and weapons."

Then, it caused a sensation.

Another person asked: "How many times will you change to a thousand-mile horse?"

When Ma Yunqi heard someone ask this, he was overjoyed and said quickly: "One thousand weapons, one thousand sets of equipment (all helmets and shoes are included), ten thousand kilograms of white flour, and three thousand kilograms of meat."

People who don’t know will know that Ma Yunqi is going to fight when they hear it. People who know it will naturally know that Ma Yunqi’s Xiliang horse thief is going to fight with alien horse thieves. It is natural to ask for these, but...

One thousand weapons, one thousand sets of equipment, not to mention the quality, just use the cheapest one to calculate a weapon of 5,000 copper coins, one thousand pieces is 500 gold. If you collect a set of equipment, you will need one gold. One thousand sets are one thousand gold. If you buy a thousand miles horse for 1,500 gold, it is not expensive, but...

Meat is cheaper between 500 copper coins and 1,000 copper coins (the game is full of animal monsters, and if you kill them, you can cut off their meat and sell them to the store, so meat is very cheap). It would be better if you don’t mention it; but this white flour is difficult. The price per pound of white flour sold by the system is between seven and ten gold. The more people you buy, the price will not keep rising. If you really buy 10,000 pounds of white flour, it will cost at least 150,000 gold.

It doesn’t matter if you have a fraction of the money, buying a thousand-mile horse with 150,000 yuan isn’t this too expensive?

The price of horses sold in other city systems: 5,000 copper coins for inferior horses, 10 gold for medium horses, and 500 gold for high-quality horses.

As for why many players are interested in the horses here, it is undoubtedly that the horses produced in Xiliang are three or four times higher than similar horses in other cities. Moreover, there are no Thousand-mile horses for sale in other cities, but there is no Thousand-mile horse. It doesn’t need to be so expensive, right?

Suddenly, everyone lost interest. Those who should go back to see the shops, and those who should go to repair the city walls.

Ma Yunqi was stunned for a moment. No one wanted it? The people were dispersed, leaving only the relatives of the Xiliang horse thieves, the people of Xiliang who had already traveled back and forth to shop, but no one walked towards Ma Yunqi's shop again.

When he discovered that the people who were "Weique Bole" dispersed, Li Gu hurriedly pulled Tian Yinke to the side of the wall, as if he was afraid that Ma Yunqi would find it.

Now, Li Gu was so angry that he was so stupid that Jack Ma was not bad at all. He actually sold it to other merchants at the price he sold it to him. This was undoubtedly the stupidest behavior.

Don’t mention the joy in Li Gu’s heart.

"It's hard to change the thief nature, so I'll open my mouth as soon as I come." Tian Yinke also bought a few horses and knew the price of weapons and equipment, but I don't know whether the price of white flour meat is lacking, or whether a nearby merchant was calculating the price of white flour, which scared Tian Yinke.

Professional merchants and players are clear about the prices of items sold and purchased in each city system. They will know the first time that prices fluctuate, because this is their way to make money. For example, the silk brocades from Yangzhou and Suzhou were sold to Western Shu, and the Northern Wei cities could make at least one or twice as much. However, in a bumper year, the grain in each city did not fluctuate much, and meat was even more common. Generally, players go hunting and then sell it to merchants. Therefore, the money can be made in grain and may even lose money. But it is different when setting up a business in Xiliang City. All grains are profitable. Even the price of meat sold to Xiliang City is 1,000 copper coins per kilogram.

Therefore, the merchants in Xiliang City knew the price of food very clearly.

On the way back to the city lord's mansion, Tian Yinke suggested to Li Gu: "Why, Xiliang City won't open an auction house?"

"Auction house?" Li Gu was stunned, and then smiled and said, "The city wants to have our blacksmith shops, cloth shops, and grain shops. Most of our shops are mainly purchases. Those merchants don't even look at the things in our shops. Moreover, other merchants sell much better weapons and equipment than us, so we can't get the things to sell in the auction house."

Tian Yinke nodded, Li Gu said it well, there is an auction house in Baidi City, and there is no need to worry about whether there is anything to sell, but what are the poor and useless people in Xiliang City to sell?

However, Tian Yinke had an alternative idea: "There are many vacant houses in the city. If we clear out a place to build an auction house, we won't occupy too much place, right?"

"Of course I won't take up space, but I have to sell it?" Li Gu glanced at Tian Yinke, but did not show an impatient look. Li Gu knew that Tian Yinke's proposals were all for the benefit of Xiliang City.

"In fact, we don't have to worry about not having anything to sell."

"Oh?" Li Gu suddenly stood up and looked at Tian Yinke with a puzzled look, waiting for Tian Yinke to continue talking.

"We can build an auction house and be an intermediary to charge a few percent of the income from selling items in the auction house. At that time, we only need to send soldiers and a manager." Tian Yinke also stopped.

Li Gu's thumb and index finger touched his nose.

Everyone knows that Li Gu will take this action once he thinks about a problem.

Tian Yinke ignored Li Gu's thoughts and continued: "Also, our auction house does not frequently auction once every half month, or once every month, isn't it enough? If..." Tian Yinke showed a deep smile.

Li Gu, who was thinking about things, also felt that the soldiers and a manager were sent to him, and he grabbed them at random, and he grabbed a lot of addresses at the auction house, and he could open wherever he wanted... Before he could continue thinking about it, he was interrupted by Tian Yinke. Then, seeing Tian Yinke's deep smile, Li Gu couldn't help but tremble.

"If... we take out one or two martial arts secrets for auction, how much money do you think we can make?"

"There is also the tax on entering the city, and they also need accommodation and meals at that time..." Li Gu interrupted Tian Yinke's words in an instant.

Li Gu fully understood the meaning of Tian Yinke. The auction house was just an introduction. The most important thing was to drive traffic, let more people come to Xiliang City, and promote the economic development of Xiliang City.

You can't stop eating or sleeping, right?

Moreover, Tian Yinke knew that the prey near Xiliang City was almost beaten by Xiliang City and Xiliang Horse Thieves, and the alien horse thieves were almost beaten, and the system was refreshed and the three forces could not be eliminated, so there were fewer and fewer prey in Xiliang. Of course, if you have the ability, if you are not afraid of death, you can go to the Wild Wolf Mountain group to hunt.

Therefore, it takes more than half a month to enter Xiliang City. At that time, the food on players should be consumed. If there is no food, you have to buy it. Who should you buy it? Of course, it is Xiliang City.

Xiliang City had a regulation early in the morning that merchants were not allowed to sell food privately, and if they were found to be confiscated, they would be killed on the spot.

Similarly, there are several batches of cooperative merchant groups in Xiliang City. These merchant groups are specially purchased and transported to Xiliang City for sale to Xiliang City.

In this case, if players don’t buy food in Xiliang City, who else can they buy it?

In addition, the prices of grain sold in Xiliang City are all purchase prices. Now, the construction of the city wall in Xiliang City has attracted nearly 100,000 players. Their daily consumption of grain is not included in Xiliang City (the players who built the city before have not only paid for wages but also paid for meals), so once their food is finished, they can only buy it from Xiliang City; however, I am afraid that the price of grain will rise before the auction house is established, which will be another big profit.

At this time, Li Gu's face was even more overwhelmed with a happy smile. He couldn't wait to tell the absolutely bored Lord Xiliang City.

The scholar was about to collapse. Early in the morning, the people upstairs were decorating the building, and the electric drill was so big that the valley echoed constantly. It was early in the morning, and the scholars covered their ears with pillows and changed their quilts and could hear them clearly, which was noisy...
