After breakfast the next day, Qianye went to the most prosperous commercial street in Libin City and followed the hotel owner's instructions to Xinglong Trading Company. This trading company specializes in various products produced by Pugou Mountain, among which Yunxiang Deer Bone Powder is one of the most important products.
one.
As soon as Qianye entered the door, a clerk came up, bowed, and asked with a smile: "Hello! How can I help you?"
This clerk is quite young. He is dressed in standard clothing, but it is well-tailored and made of exquisite materials. His appearance and manners are impeccable, and his strength is even decent. The clerks in a trading company all have level three combat power. If they were placed on the Evernight Continent,
, indeed incredible.
On the entire first floor of Xinglong Trading Company, there are seven or eight such clerks, all of whom are handsome men and beauties. On the other hand, Qianye is dressed in ready-made clothes, and the tactical jacket of the samurai uniform is still somewhat damaged. He is still concerned about his appearance.
After making some changes, he now looks like an ordinary young man. In terms of appearance alone, these clerks are much more glamorous than Qianye.
Among the customers of Xinglong Xing, Qianye is also considered an alternative. Xinglong Xing mainly deals with large-scale transactions, and most of the people who come and go are family stewards, as well as medium-sized or above merchants, and there are very few lone hunters.
Qianye glanced at the display cabinets in the hall and said, "I want some deer bone powder. If there are other specialties related to Force cultivation, let's take a look."
There was a hint of contempt in the young clerk's eyes, but at least his attitude on the surface was acceptable. He smiled and said: "Sir, our Xinglong business generally does not do retail. For example, Yunxianglu's deer bone powder is sold at least three boxes, each
The box contains two taels, and the unit price is one hundred gold coins. If the quantity is large, the price can be negotiated."
Three hundred gold coins is definitely a large amount for a lone hunter. At this moment, there are some wealthy businessmen and guests in the hall, all their eyes are on Qianye, wanting to watch a good show with great interest.
This is the territory of the Zhao Clan, where the most important thing is ostentation, subtlety and calmness. Being arrogant only makes you feel inferior. You have to calmly let some country people know how high the sky is, how thick the earth is, and feel ashamed of themselves.
"The minimum price is three boxes..." Qianye estimated the space capacity of Anduya's mysterious world.
The young clerk smiled again and said: "If you don't plan to buy so much, you can go to Binshui Street not far away. There are many shops selling small transactions there, which must be able to meet your needs."
These words sounded very polite, and he also gave directions to the customers, which seemed to be impeccable. The only problem is that Binshui Street is a commercial street for outsiders. The prices of goods are low, and of course the quality is even worse. It can be said that
A dark street that specializes in trapping outsiders. A large shop like Xinglongxing has little reputation among hunters and adventurers who have just arrived, because the two sides have basically no intersection.
The young clerk's words were calm on the surface but sharp inside, which greatly impressed the guests in the lobby. In their view, outsiders should go to the place where outsiders go.
Qianye sensed the faint malice around him. Although the young clerk opposite him smiled courteously, there was always something about him that made him uncomfortable and did not give him an excuse to have an attack.
After pondering for a moment, Qianye said: "I really don't plan to buy too many, just three boxes."
"Three...three boxes?" The young clerk's smile suddenly froze, and the guests in the hall could hardly believe their ears.
One hundred boxes of deer bone powder are sold for 10,000 each. With three boxes put together, even a large chamber of commerce cannot handle such a large amount of goods at one time.
The young clerk responded quickly, quickly adjusted his facial expression, maintained a professional smile, and said, "Please follow me upstairs. A supervisor will be here to receive you soon."
Qianye followed the young clerk directly to the third floor and sat down in a top-notch lounge.
A moment later, a slightly fat middle-aged man quickly walked into the lounge, sat down in front of Qianye, and said with a smile: "I, Wang Youyuan, sir, we can barely get together three boxes of goods, but this is the only thing."
The quantity of this transaction is quite large, and it takes two days to prepare the goods.”
Qianye nodded, "There is no problem with time, I can wait."
Wang Youyuan looked Qianye up and down and said: "It's just that our Xinglong Trading Company can use its reputation to guarantee on-time delivery. Can you check the payment in advance? Or is there anyone who can guarantee it for you?"
Wang Youyuan's request is reasonable and reasonable. For such a large transaction, if one party cannot deliver the goods or pay the payment, it will become a joke that wastes time and manpower.
There is no doubt about the credibility of Xinglong Trading Company. Lone hunters like Qianye all trade in cash. Thirty thousand gold coins are huge. Even if they are converted into black crystals, they still have to be packed in a large box. Qianye is left empty-handed, and it doesn’t look like he has any.
Such a large sum of money.
"I don't have that much cash." Qianye told the truth.
Wang Youyuan's smile froze for a moment, and he slowly rubbed his fat hands, waiting for the next step. If he wanted to amuse the manager of Zhao Clan Trading Company, he had to see if he had that ability.
Qianye took out a small box from his pocket, pushed it on the table, and said, "Can I use this as payment for the goods?"
Wang Youyuan looked puzzled, and took the palm-sized metal box, which was obviously heavy in his hand. When he opened it and took a look, he suddenly took a breath: "Mithril!?"
In the box is a ball of silver metal the size of an egg, with a soft light flowing throughout it. It is actually solid mithril, and it seems to be of the highest purity level. Visual inspection of its weight shows that based on the current market price, it is more than enough to cover the purchase price, and more is needed.
I gave Qianye two or three thousand gold coins instead.
Wang Youyuan was holding the metal box with both hands now, and said seriously: "I can't price such precious goods at the moment. Let's do this. Anyway, it will take two days to prepare the deer bone powder. Please come back in three days. I will ask you
What do you think of a special person coming to appraise the mithril?"
Mithril is a top-notch strategic material that rarely circulates. Even a large company like Xinglong Trading Company does not have a dedicated appraiser and needs to be seconded from other places.
Qianye also understood this situation, nodded and said, "That's fine. Then I'll come back in three days." After saying that, he took back the ball of mithril.
Wang Youyuan's eyes followed the small box until it entered Qianye's pocket, then he reluctantly looked away, and then said with a smile on his face: "I haven't asked you for your name and contact information yet. Wait until our goods arrive."
It’s all ready and we’ll contact you right away!”
Qianye left the hotel address and pseudonym and left Xinglong Trading Company.
Wang Youyuan personally sent Qianye out of the gate and watched Qianye's back disappear before he put away all his smiles and his face became gloomy.
The young clerk who had been accompanying him came up to him and said softly: "Manager Wang, are you going to let him take the mithril back like this?"
Wang Youyuan's eyes widened and he said, "What else can I do if I don't let him take him back?"
The young clerk said softly: "Business houses have their own rules, but once you step out of the gate, those rules no longer apply. Maybe..."
Wang Youyuan frowned slightly, and after a moment he said: "This item is too big and not easy to eat. Let's wait until I report it to the superiors." He would not have any objections to ordinary goods, even if it was red crystal iron.
, but Mithril is really rare, and such large quantities of Mithril are even rarer. Moreover, now is a special time, and the Zhao family's demand for Mithril has greatly increased.
The young clerk smiled sinisterly and said: "Manager Wang, my uncle happened to be in Libin City in the past few days. If there is anything inconvenient to do, my uncle can do it for me."
Wang Youyuan thought for a moment, then nodded slowly and said, "Okay, I understand."
As the manager of Xinglong Bank, Wang Youyuan has always been well-informed. He was even vaguely aware of the recent turmoil in the Zhao clan, which is why he paid more attention to strategic materials such as mithril. However, where this turmoil came from was not something that he, a small person, could know.
Got it.
Xijicheng stands in the northern part of Xilu, with Yanshan Mountain at its back and the intersection of three rivers in front. It is known as the granary and is also a battleground for military strategists.
This majestic city has a long history. Hundreds of years ago, Zhao Wuji, the leader of the Zhao family's resurgence, felt that the family was depressed and deteriorating at that time, so he resolutely gave up the idyllic land of Qinlu and came to the Western Continent, which was still dark and wild at that time.
The fiefdom that the Zhao family obtained in exchange for that day was called a province, but the actual control area was only one county. The rest was either uncultivated wasteland or occupied by various foreign bandits.
Zhao Wuji established his clan ancestral hall in Xijicheng, fought for thirty years, traveled thousands of miles, beheaded countless enemies, conquered the two major provinces of Youyun and Yanbei, and finally laid the foundation for the prosperity of the Zhao clan for hundreds of years.
Today, Xijicheng has a population of millions, the city gates are crowded with people, and airships rise and fall, making it a spectacular sight. No matter how you measure it, it is the number one city in the Western Continent, even in the territory of the dark race.
Yuelun City, which has been operating for thousands of years, cannot be compared to it.
In the northwest corner of Xiji City, a city within a city is built on the mountain. From the highest point, you can overlook the entire Xiji City.
This is the headquarters of the Zhao family. Tens of thousands of people live here. It is a completely different city. In the center of the city is the Zhao Mansion with nine internal and external layers. The pavilions and palaces are stacked on top of each other as far as the eye can see. They are the residences of the previous feudal lords. The current owner is
Zhao Weihuang, Duke Chengen of the Empire and General of the Northwest.
The specifications of the nine-storey building are already very impressive. You must know that the imperial palace only has eighteen entrances from the north and south, and twelve east-west entrances. The main palaces of the other three gates are only eight layers, and even the Zhang of the Four Lords
Valves are no exception.
The reason why the Zhao clan is so superior is not because of its strength, but because of its close connection with the imperial family. The Zhao clan is a descendant of the family, and there are many emperors and queens named Zhao in the past. The current clan leader, Zhao Weihuang, married the imperial princess Gaoyi, which shows that
The close ties between the family and the imperial family.
The peripheral buildings of the Zhao Mansion are divided into one main house, two flat houses and eighteen subordinate houses. The two flat houses are the residences of the two hereditary princes, Yan Guogong and You Guogong respectively. The eighteen subordinate houses are for the direct and most important
The six branch families of the Zhao family live there. As for the numerous side branches of the Zhao family, they are not eligible to enter the government.
At this moment, in the main palace, a young man is sitting behind the desk, concentrating on reviewing documents. This study room is spacious and bright, with exquisite and luxurious furnishings. Outside the window is the famous Xuanji Lake in the palace, with a great view.
The study room is located in the middle road, which shows its importance. It can be said that it is second only to the clan leader and the elders of the clan. The person who can sit here is so young, which is very rare for the family.
He has short flowing hair, a pair of square-framed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and a wide-sleeved ancient suit. He has a noble bearing. When he occasionally raises his head to think, he will reveal a perfect, almost demonic face.
At this time, the door of the room knocked, and a young man walked in. It was Zhao Junhong who had fought with Qianye before. After he entered the room, he smiled and said: "Fourth brother, haven't you finished your work yet? The eldest brother recently got a handful.
Good gun. Invite us to test the gun on the frontline battlefield. Do you want to come with us? Speaking of which, the four of us brothers haven’t fought together in a long time."
The young man behind the desk is Zhao Jundu, the youngest of the four princes of the Zhao clan.
