These days, Wu Sixiang, the shopkeeper of Jixiang Medicinal Materials Store, has been anxious.

Since Lin Fan came once, news came from Fengcheng that the prefect Lin Fan had purchased ephedra for three taels of silver per kilogram. For a moment, the price of ephedra was stir-fried.

He also stepped up the transportation of 10,000 kilograms of ephedra from Hebei, but Lin Fan has not appeared for a long time. This 10,000 kilograms of ephedra is not a small amount.

Moreover, ephedra is difficult to store, and winter is the main sales gathering. After this winter, ephedra is basically unable to be sold.

Even this ten thousand pounds are enough for them to sell them for ten years. If a medicinal material store stocks up so much goods, it is easy to be dragged down.

Moreover, ephedra is not easy to preserve. If it is placed in a cold and humid place, it will become moldy over time. However, it will be 10,000 pounds and will be pulled out to dry every day, which is not realistic.

Just when Wu Sixiang was anxious, Lin Fan and the other four appeared again.

Wu Sixiang grabbed a life-saving straw and hurriedly met: "Oh! Four bosses, you are here again. Since you left last time, the sales of ephedra here have soared. Are you here or buy ephedra this time?"

Wu Sixiang naturally would not be so stupid that he told Lin Fan that their ephedra could not be sold, but told Lin Fan that the sales of ephedra were very good.

Lin Fan sneered in his heart. As he came just now, the whole street sold ephedra. Do you tell me that your family’s business is good?

The merchants in Fengcheng have purchased goods once from you, and they are afraid they have never come again. The source of medicinal materials merchants in other places is the same as your purchases, and you can't make their money.

"Haha! Manager Wu, you are not honest."

Lin Fan said with a smile.

"Haha! Boss, what do you mean? Why am I not true?"

Wu Sixiang asked.

"It's nothing. I'm here this time and I want to buy a thousand kilograms of ephedra. You can offer a price. If the price is right, I'll buy it."

Lin Fan said with a smile.

When Wu Sixiang heard Lin Fan want to buy a thousand pounds, a gleam flashed in his eyes and said, "Boss, I heard that the price of ephedra in Fengcheng is still two taels of silver per pound. I will never let you lose money or make less money. If you want two thousand pounds, I can give you the price of one tael of silver per pound."

kindness!

When Situ Hong and Li Ruyue heard the price, their eyes lit up. Last time they were one or five cents a pound, but this time they lost another five cents, which was very cost-effective.

However, seeing Lin Fan's calm look, the two knew that Lin Fan was not satisfied with the price, so they didn't say much and waited for Lin Fan to bargain.

"Shopkeeper Wu, when ephedra is the most expensive, it is only 30 cents per pound. If you ask me for one tael of silver per pound, do you think I was kicked by a donkey in the head?"

Lin Fan asked back.

Ga!

Thirty cents per pound! The price difference is too big!

Manager Wu was confused by Lin Fan's words, and Situ Hong and Li Ruyue on the side also looked at Lin Fan in shock, not expecting that Lin Fan would be so fierce in killing the price.

"Oh! This boss! You don't look at what time it is now. The ephedra in Fengcheng has been sold for two taels of silver per pound!"

"You mentioned the price of 30 cents per pound, and I have nowhere to buy it!"

Wu Sixiang said.

"Haha! If this was put a few days ago, I wouldn't dare to say the price. If you say two taels of silver per pound, didn't I buy it too?"

"Now, this ephedra is not worth 30 cents per pound. I came here this time to buy it for nine cents per pound. If Manager Wu is willing to sell it, I will buy one thousand pounds. If Manager Wu disagrees, I will leave now."

Lin Fan said coldly.

Ga!

Situ Hong and Li Ruyue were stunned. Li Ruyue hadn't reacted to what was going on? How could these two taels of silver per pound become nine cents per pound?

But Situ Hong understood what was going on. Lin Fan's move was too clever. He used the high price as an introduction to let the medicinal materials merchants purchase in large quantities.

Moreover, it attracted businessmen from other places. Now, Fengzhou has no shortage of ephedra, and the price of ephedra will be reduced to the lowest level.

Because ephedra is not easy to preserve, these medicinal materials merchants who have imported a large amount of ephedra are in a hurry to sell them. Merchants from other places are naturally more anxious to sell the medicinal materials, otherwise the transportation cost will be greater.

"This... this boss! Your price is really too low. I will never sell it for nine cents per pound. I also want at least five cents per pound!"

Manager Wu said.

Lin Fan sneered, this sentence will be your last stubbornness.

"I want one thousand pounds per pound. If you don't sell it, I'll buy it elsewhere. In other medicinal materials shops, they should only survive for about one thousand pounds, and they will sell it."

Lin Fan said.

Jixiang medicinal materials store is very big. The ephedra they bought this time should be more than 5,000 kilograms, while other medicinal materials stores should only be about 1,000 kilograms. I collected them at one time, so they would definitely sell their medicinal materials if they save mold from their medicinal materials.

"Boss! One cent of silver is my bottom line!"

Manager Wu said again.

"Haha! Since you don't sell it, I'll buy it somewhere else."

After saying that, Lin Fan got up and went outside the Jixiang Medicinal Materials Store.

"A pound of nine cents per pound, who will buy one thousand pounds of ephedra? The seller raises his hand and I will buy it in cash!"

Lin Fan said loudly.

After Lin Fan finished speaking, the merchants present were stunned for a moment. Then several men from the medicinal materials store hurried into their own shop and went to discuss the price with the shopkeeper.

Now, Wu Sixiang suddenly panicked and hurriedly pulled Lin Fan in and said, "Oh! This boss, you really know how to do business. You cost nine cents per pound. I sold it, I sold it!"

"Hmph! It's so good that I've saved this from shouting. Now you prepare the medicinal materials for me and I'll find a carriage to pull it."

After saying that, Lin Fan went out to find a carriage.

Wu Sixiang looked frustrated and asked someone to prepare medicinal materials for Lin Fan. This business made him feel frustrated.

However, he did not lose money because the cost of purchasing ephedra was only about two cents, and he sold it for nine cents per pound, and he even made seven cents.

However, what made him worried was how to sell the remaining nine thousand kilograms of ephedra.

After buying ephedra, Lin Fan, Situ Hong and others rushed to Fengcheng with the goods.

"Lin Fan, I really admire you now. You got nine cents per pound of medicinal materials, but now, if you count it like this, you won a hundred cents per pound of money for 200 taels of silver, it would not be a loss."

Situ Hong said.

"Haha! Not only did you lose much, but you didn't lose at all. Now there are still 40,000 to 50,000 kilograms of ephedra in Fengcheng. I plan to collect them all, and the price is even lower."

Lin Fan said with a smile.
