Chapter 18 Hoarding, shameless profiteer
This war is an injustice war, but the monks of Ji Kingdom were not ashamed of anything, but were very excited. Although the war has not officially begun, passionate young people like Wang Youde hope to establish military achievements and make a name for themselves. They were then valued by some famous sects and taken to their subordinates. He already had a mid-grade flying sword and bought talismans just in case, and used them to save lives at critical moments.
Wang Youde has the qualification of the three spiritual roots of the earth, wood, fire, and it is quite good. It is also very smooth to join some second-rate sects, but he is determined to enter a famous sect, so this is the only way. It seems that his debt is quite large.
However, the battlefield is dangerous, Li Tianze will not go there. His cultivation is limited, so he will only act as cannon fodder if he goes there. Even if he has a talisman treasure, he cannot use it in a short time, and he cannot even use the low-grade flying sword.
Another partner of Lingcaoxing is named Zhao Xing. He signed a five-year contract with Lingcaoxing and it will be three or four years before it expires, so he is not in a hurry to leave, nor does he buy talismans and other items to defend himself.
When Ji Kingdom attacked other countries, the battlefield was not in its own country, and the market was relatively safe. Only monks who were interested in galloping on the battlefield would buy some talismans and magic weapons to defend themselves. It is also good to do business with these people now.
Let others fight to the death! Let me make money from the war. Once the war begins, the materials from the cultivation world of Ji Kingdom will definitely be transported to the front line in large quantities. At that time, the supply of materials will definitely be insufficient and prices will definitely soar.
Wang Youde also said that in about two months, his contract will expire and he will leave the Lingcao Travel.
Li Tianze admired his determination very much, but he was not sure whether the war would break out. However, Wang Youde claimed to be a relative of the city guard in Liuxian City and told him that he was very confident.
The owner of Lingcao Traveler heard that there was a stagnant grass coming very quickly. This person looked in his early forties, with an ordinary appearance and a medium size. He was wearing a blue Taoist robe. He was not as rich as Qian Donghai, nor as elegant as Huang Shoucheng. He was a type that was invisible if thrown into the crowd.
The owners of Lingcaoxing do not often appear. There are not many owners in this market who are diligent in business, but they have a contract of employers in their hands. They are not afraid that the guys will not do their best for the store. The contract of employers is stronger than the binding force of the law and will be fatal at any time.
When Wang Youde met his boss, he introduced him: "The boss, this is Li Tianze, the friend of Baifu Pavilion, and he wants to sell Zhuyancao."
The owner of Lingcaoxing said kindness and introduced himself to Li Tianze: "My surname is Wu and his name is Wanshan. He is the owner of this Lingcaoxing. Everyone in the market knows that Brother Li is very good at doing business. I wonder if he is interested in joining my Lingcaoxing!"
My buddy didn't expect to change jobs yet, Li Tianze hurriedly bowed and said, "Thank you Senior Wu for your kindness. It's still a long time to make a contract. Let's talk about it then. Maybe you will abandon the business and join the army like a fellow Taoist Wang."
It seemed that he had declined politely, and Wu Wanshan didn't say much. As soon as the war started, I don't know how many years it will take to fight. I dare not say whether I can still do business. But the current business still needs to be done. I hurriedly said, "Then my friend, take out the beauty grass and take a look. The goods are good, and I will naturally give you a high price."
Li Tianze took out the beauty grass from the storage bag and handed it over to the other party for evaluation.
Wu Wanshan's eyes shone brightly and praised repeatedly: "It's indeed a rare grass in the air. I don't know where my friend got it."
Of course, someone would not say that he obtained it from the Demon Clan Market and said randomly: "This was obtained by the master of the family. I hope Senior Wu will give him a good price."
"One Thousand Spirit Stones."
Sigh, all three of them as friends sighed. Even Wang Youde and Zhao Xing had never seen the spiritual herbs worth thousands of times, let alone Li Tianze.
But he came to his senses after a long time. Why did Hu Li give him such a precious spiritual herb? He was just a young monk in the Qi training stage and couldn't figure it out.
Seeing that Li Tianze didn't say anything, Wu Wanshan thought he was not satisfied with the price and smiled and said, "This price is no longer low. Are you not satisfied with it?"
"Senior, there are indeed a lot of 1,000 spirit stones, but it's almost impossible to acquire this spirit grass." Li Tianze didn't know how much this beauty grass was worth, and said tentatively.
"One thousand two hundred spirit stones cannot be higher." Wu Wanshan gritted his teeth, as if he had made a huge concession.
"Three thousand spirit stones cannot be lost."
Wow, the guy at Lingcaoxing was very dissatisfied with his lion. Isn’t it just the Guanyan grass? Is it worth the price?
Li Tianze didn't want to sell it anymore. He temporarily repented it. He didn't understand Hu Li's intentions. He was uneasy and deliberately raised the price and broke the business.
Wu Wanshan was already angry, but he was unwilling to give up on the rushing grass, so he had to say, "My friend is asking for a price too high. Let's do this, two thousand spirit stones, no more."
Li Tianze put away the spirit grass and apologized to Wu Wanshan: "I've disturbed my senior. My master has ordered that only three thousand spirit stones cannot be sold. I will say goodbye."
So he turned around and was about to walk out of the gate of Wu Ji Lingcao Walk. Wu Wanshan was still shouting from behind: "Two thousand five hundred spirit stones, how about it?"
Li Tianze ignored him and was about to go out.
"Three thousand is three thousand, stay."
Li Tianze had no choice but to stay and sell the stagnant grass for the price of 3,000 spirit stones. If he didn't sell it, he would offend Wu Wanshan completely, and the price was too tempting.
After getting the spirit stones, Li Tianze first rushed to a elixir shop and bought five bottles of spiritual elixirs, one bottle of 100 pills, each of which cost 2,500 spirit stones. Because Li Tianze was the golden guest of this elixir shop, he gave another fifty pills. The battle is imminent. As a popular elixir, the spiritual elixir can not only increase the speed of cultivation, but also quickly restore the spiritual power in the body. The price will definitely rise sharply by then.
The usual customers of Peiling Pill only bought a few pieces, and it seemed too abrupt to buy so many of them from him at once.
The shop's staff was busy sending notes and asking the owner that the Pelin Pill is about to be out of stock.
When he returned to the store, he was not in a hurry to sell talismans. Instead, he doubled the prices of all middle and high-level talismans, resulting in the booming business of other talisman shops, and the business of Baifu Pavilion dropped sharply, and customers who came to buy talismans kept complaining.
That's not all. He sent a message notes to his boss, roughly explained what he thought, and suggested double the price of the low-priced talisman. Although he no longer profited from the low-level talisman, he still made this move out of his professional instinct.
The boss sent a message back, but did not object, but asked him to be careful and not to backfire. After all, the battle has not begun and the king has not formally issued an order. Any store is afraid of goods backlog and poor capital flow.
More than ten days later, Wan Fu Zong sent a message to send a message to Wan Fu Zong, and Bai Fu Pavilion was also inside. Other stores also received message to send messages from their respective suppliers, but they all found that a lot of talismans in the store had been reduced and they raised the prices one after another. However, Li Tianze raised the price again, which was always 30% higher than the price of talismans in other stores, and stocked up a lot of talismans.
Li Tianze sent out a notes that day and reported to the east. The notes were turned into red light and flew away.
After a while, Huang Shoucheng came and ordered Han Guang to close the store and stop the business. The three of them came to the fourth floor to have a secret talk and formulated a sales plan in detail.
Half a month later, the prices in the market were indeed soaring. The stores in the market were closed because they had no goods. Baifu Pavilion lacked the supply channels of Wanfu Sect and could not last long. Although some casual talisman makers could provide some medium and low-level talismans, it seemed insignificant for Baifu Pavilion.
There are still not many customers in Baifu Pavilion now, because Li Tianze has doubled the price of middle and high-level talismans, four times the original price, and even low-level talismans are three times the original price. Now is not the best time to sell. But people are already panicked. Some monks who have not bought talismans have come to buy talismans regardless of the high price.
Now only one-fifth of the previous passenger flow every day, but it is twice the original profit, but Li Tianze is still not satisfied, and the time has not yet come.
When customers walk out of the Baifu Pavilion, they will now curse Li Tianze, a profiteer, a shameless profiteer.
But Mr. Li didn't know that he was still dreaming of making money.
There is also news that Qian Donghai from Mingyuelou has also come to the market to preside over Mingyuelou Guan and Zhang Daji. It is not that the business is bad, but that the products of Piaoxianggu are going to the front line and there is no extra sale. Secondly, Wu Maochun has been promised by Elder Piaoxianggu to be taken to the school and can report to him at any time. Qian Donghai came to inform Li Tianze specifically.
Li Tianze was not happy. Now that he was recruiting his master, it was obvious that Piaoxiang Valley was not kind-hearted. The war was imminent, and many sects were recruiting cultivators as cannon fodder. No one wanted to do his best, and he wanted to get benefits after the war, so he came to deal with the conscription orders of the king.
There is no emperor in the country of Tianji Continent, and one country has one master. Whoever has the highest cultivation level can be the responsibility. Everything in the world of cultivation depends on its strength, and mortals must be controlled by cultivators.
Li Tianze decided not to notify his master, that his income was enough for him to build the foundation and build the foundation pill, and he believed that he would get it soon.
His cultivation has also improved a lot in the past half month, all due to the Practice Pill. The Practice Pill on the market has now sold more than a dozen spirit stones, and it is still on the rise, which is already a situation where there is a price but no market.
In this way, another half month passed, and his life was so exciting. Not only did he have a free work, but his income was pretty good. After one month, he actually achieved the goal of double his monthly salary. This month he received 500 spirit stones, plus the 500 spirit stones left after selling the garrison grass, a total of 1,000 spirit stones were included.
As a friend, he can still exercise some convenient positions. He can sell all the talismans in Baifu Pavilion to himself at the purchase price. The owner also agreed to live, but with a limit, less than one thousand spirit stones, it is just enough to buy the lowest level talisman treasure.
He naturally used talismans to cut and crush essence crystals. Sooner or later, the talismans in Baifu Pavilion will be sold out, and he will also make a living by himself.
