Chapter 782: Send the ore veins, love to sell or not
Jiang Xingchen was busy all day. As soon as he returned to the resting place in the evening, the head of the Hua family came and took a topographic map with many small ore veins marked on it. There were yellow silver, hematite, and even a small cold iron ore.
"Sir, you have helped us a lot this time. The emperor means, you can choose any of these ore veins!" said the head of the Hua family.
Jiang Xingchen was a little shocked. When he helped the two countries, he really didn't want to get anything. Unexpectedly, the two countries were really interesting and actually took out the ore veins and gave them to him. It was really a big deal!
"This... is too expensive. Even if the food in the affected area is harvested well, its value is not as valuable as the ore veins marked on it, right?" Jiang Xingchen hesitated a little. The courtesy was a little heavy, and he really wanted to refuse. But when he saw the small cold iron ore, he was moved again.
Cold iron ore is a rare mineral, very few, and not many are found in every country. Everyone treats it as a treasure and uses it as a reserve of materials for weapons.
There is also one of the Star Corps, but it is too small and belongs to a micro-mine vein. After so long development, it has almost been hollowed out. Now the leeks have led their other half of the wolf pack back to the territory.
He has not yet developed alloys, and the role of cold iron in many fields has become more prominent. The cold iron ore produced by the Yueying Kingdom is exactly what he needs now.
When he saw Jiang Xingchen hesitating, the head of the Hua family smiled and said, "Sir, you are not counting the accounts as you do. If there is no grain harvest in the arid areas this year, then there will be a famine and a long wind. W≮↑≠t. No matter how good the ore veins are, they cannot be eaten as food!"
Jiang Xingchen laughed when he heard this. The head of the Hua family was making excuses for himself. What can’t be eaten as food? At worst, just buy grain at a high price. Now there are overseas merchants coming to negotiate.
However, Jiang Xingchen would not expose it. Because he had decided to accept it, he helped Yueying resist Xuanyuan Tianzong at that time. Although it was because Mei'er was treating her illness here.
"Since that's the case, I'll accept it!" Jiang Xingchen smiled and pointed to the cold iron ore on the map.
The head of the Hua family laughed. The emperor's meaning was very clear. The more contacts he had with Jiang Xingchen, the better. From the solution of this drought, we can see how important it was to get along with Jiang Xingchen at the beginning.
Then the head of the Hua family stood up and said goodbye. Jiang Xingchen had been busy all day and it was time to rest. There were still a few days left to rest...
The next morning, the people in Yueying Capital remained enthusiastic and were still celebrating for the relief of the drought. Many people went to continue watching the water pressing well pumping out.
What is incompatible with the entire city atmosphere is the courtyard where Manager Wu is. Since he came back yesterday, Manager Wu and his young men have never smiled again.
If the last failure was because Jiang Xingchen's methods were too clever, then this failure was directly related to his self-confidence. If he had conducted more investigations in advance, he would not have known about the changes in the grain production area in the empire.
Manager Wu didn't sleep all night, thinking about how to explain to the prince and how to deal with the food he transported... The young man never dared to speak, for fear of attracting Manager Wu's anger on him.
This morning, Manager Wu couldn't bear it anymore. When he said he was going to be confused for a while, Yueying and Daqin's negotiating personnel suddenly came to him.
"What are they doing?" Sitting in the living room, Manager Wu looked at the two people smiling opposite him with bloodshot eyes, and his anger surged upwards.
Originally, he thought the other party would not come again. Since he had found water, who would come to you to buy food. But the other party came and looked arrogant.
Manager Wu immediately understood that the other party was taking revenge. Otherwise, why would the two of them have such expressions? They kept laughing and saying good things two days ago.
"What's wrong with you two?" Manager Wu asked coldly.
"Shopkeeper Wu, you are so noble that you are so forgot about it. Our negotiations on food are not over yet!" said one of the negotiators.
"What? You still want to buy it. Is the water that is poisonous?" Manager Wu narrowed his eyes and said sarcastically.
"Haha, finding water to solve the drought is one thing. Buying food is another thing!" said another.
Manager Wu sneered and asked, "Since that's the case, have you decided to buy food?"
"Of course I buy it, but in terms of price..."
Manager Wu took a deep breath and his mind flew around. This batch of grain is really a problem now. It would be great if it could be sold. However, it would be impossible to still want a three-fold price.
Thinking of this, Manager Wu said: "We have been negotiating for a long time. Since you want to buy it, I will take a step back. The first batch of 100 million kilograms of grain, a total of 7 million, which is 30% lower than the original price. How about it?"
The two people on the opposite side smiled and shook their heads, saying, "Shopkeeper Wu, you said that by the end of July, the price will be raised to five times..."
Manager Wu suddenly twitched the corner of his eyes, and the other party was clearly sucking his face. Didn’t you say that the price has increased? Why is it lowered the price now? You have increased.
His face gradually turned red, and Manager Wu felt that his anger was about to explode. The other party was not here to discuss business, but to humiliate him.
Manager Wu was about to slap the table. But at this time, the person opposite him spoke again: "Given the high price you wanted at that time, we decided to give you 200,000 Moon Shadow Coins in this batch of grain!"
"What?" Manager Wu couldn't help it anymore, stood up and shouted: "You just said... 200,000 Moon Shadow Coins!"
"That's right, it's only 200,000 yuan. We think the price is reasonable!" the two of them said with a smile.
"Reasonable, reasonable, it's more reasonable than the original price drop by more than ten times, and you can even open your mouth..." Manager Wu burst out at the time and pointed at the two people on the opposite side and cursed. The price of 200,000 yuan, not counting as freight, is nearly ten times lower than the food itself. What do you think of us?
The two negotiators were very happy and looked at Manager Wu with a smile, saying, "You don't have to be excited, think carefully, don't worry..."
While talking, the two stood up and said, "We won't stay for a long time. You have to come to us after you have thought about it... I advise you to think carefully. On such a hot day, the food will easily become moldy..."
With a "bang", Manager Wu threw the cup in his hand, and the blue veins on his forehead burst out. He shouted loudly with his two negotiators: "Twenty-hundred thousand, don't even think about it. Even if the grain is moldy and thrown away, I won't sell it to you!"
"Haha, do you like to sell it?" The two negotiators did not show any weakness and also glared at each other. Then they turned around and left.
When the two negotiators left the yard, Manager Wu was so angry that he pulled all the water cups on the table to the ground.
The other party came not only to humiliate him, but also to let him taste the feeling of being oppressed, which was very unhappy.
After a long time, Manager Wu's anger gradually dissipated, as if he had been sucked into the chair.
The price of 200,000 is too low. He wouldn't sell it if he was beaten to death. But now it's different. He has to pay money every day unless he really throws it away, but it's just a momentary anger, and it's still true.
Just take it to the market to sell, don’t joke, this is Yueying Capital, it’s not something you can sell if you want. The country controls this thing, and if you dare to sell it without permission, people can catch you.
Ship it to the Eight Great Kingdoms and pull it to the place. There is an insider who has been placed by the prince, but it still requires a large amount of shipping. When you go there, you can sell it at a fair price, and it seems that it is not much more than 200,000 yuan.
After thinking about this, Manager Wu became irritable again. He doubted whether Yueying and his group had already planned it and only gave the price of 200,000.
"Shopkeeper Wu, otherwise... give them 200,000!" the young man said weakly from the side.
"Oh~" Manager Wu sighed heavily. After thinking about it, it seemed that besides being purchased by Yueying at a low price, he could only wait for the grain to get moldy and throw it away.
At this time, Manager Wu was regretful. When he asked more about it, why did he end up today? Thinking about the scene of the An family's prince being furious, he felt that the cold air was coming out from the inside out...
For three consecutive days, Manager Wu stayed in the door and refused to leave. On the fourth day, he received a letter from the prince of the An family, with one word on it: Sell!
With just one word, Manager Wu felt the anger of the prince of the An family and was frightened all day long!
On July 26th, Jiang Xingchen finally completed all the work, and Manager Wu also found Yueying Kingdom and agreed to sell it for 200,000 yuan.
Seeing the two negotiators smiling proudly, Manager Wu felt his heart hurt as if he had been cut by a knife.
After the handover was completed on the spot, Manager Wu and his subordinates left in a desert...
Jiang Xingchen, who had completed all the work, did not leave immediately. He rested at his residence that night. The drought was resolved and he could finally relax. After nearly two months of busyness, he felt physically and mentally exhausted.
Turning around the sky, Jiang Xingchen slept until the sun was noon. As soon as he got up, he was taken to the Yueying Palace by the head of the Hua family.
Emperor Yueying personally held a banquet to entertain him, thanking Jiang Xingchen for his help to Yueying.
At the banquet, Jiang Xingchen couldn't help but feel moved when he heard about food. Although he took action to alleviate the drought this year, they are all major grain-producing areas and more areas are affected. In other words, food will be very tight this year.
A tight grain means that the amount of wine brewing will decrease, and his spirits may also be affected. Thinking of this, Jiang Xingchen proposed to buy some of the grain to make wine!
When Emperor Yueying heard this, he waved his hand and pulled it away with just what you need... In this way, Jiang Xingchen got another batch of food for nothing.
Of course, he couldn't get all 100 million jin away, only 20 million...
After the banquet, Jiang Xingchen and Emperor Yueying bid farewell and were about to return to the Qiankun Empire, Jun Bumi and Qin Manwu came over from Daqin and gave him a topographic map.
Jiang Xingchen smiled as soon as he saw it. Why is Daqin the same as Yueying? Have the two families agreed?
Since I received Yueying’s gift, there would be no pressure to accept Daqin’s gift.
After watching the map for a while, Jiang Xingchen suddenly pointed to a place and asked, "President Qin, what is this?" (To be continued...)
