Chapter 1048 The war has started, how can there be no losses?
The Five Surnames and Seven Hopes are distinguished and extraordinary, and Wang Jing and others are even more powerful in the world, at the level of the Five Ultimates.
Even though everyone is having a bad time, their prestige is still there. As long as any businessman with some needs sees the post, he will come to negotiate a business. It doesn't matter how big or small, the key is to form a personal relationship, after all...
... No matter what the goods are, it won’t mean that the business can’t be done at all. It just needs to be done by the way.
But now the situation is outrageous, no one is coming...
Of course, only two posts have been returned, but that doesn't mean much. Maybe it's just that the merchants have been having trouble with their turnover recently? This seems to be the case based on the season...
Of course, this explanation actually makes no sense, because even based on past experience, it is impossible for maritime merchants to be so disrespectful...
And just as Wang Jing and others were constantly explaining in their minds, the next moment...
Another boy came back with posts to report the situation, and not just one or two, but one after another...
Not long after the blink of an eye, the flower hall was actually packed with people, all of them were boys who went out to deliver posts.
This situation occurs...
Wang Jing and his gang were really silent.
Damn, why are so many...posts sent back?
This... I'm afraid not all posts have been returned???
…
Wang Jing, Pei Ji, Lu Changgeng, Zheng Taishan... all of them looked at each other with four words in their eyes, unbelievable.
There was deathly silence in the flower hall!
No one spoke. The boys did not dare to say more. After all, everyone was just running errands, and Wang Jing and others...
Li Tiancheng, Zheng Taishan and others' minds went blank, and they were dumbfounded, while Pei Ji and Wang Jing...these two people also looked dumbfounded, because this situation was so weird!
A long, long time passed, and a long period of time passed.
Wang Jing took a deep breath, and his eyes gradually revealed a solemn and horrified look.
"How dare you lie to me? How come all these posts have been returned?"
Wang Jing actually knew that of course these boys didn't dare to really deceive him into engaging in sexual manipulation, but he couldn't believe it and couldn't help but ask.
And when he asked this question, the group of boys below started shouting "Changtianqu", fell to their knees one after another, and shouted "Master, please be merciful..."
There is no doubt that there is no such thing as "servants causing trouble".
The facts are very clear, that is, the post was sent back!
And this was confirmed...
A series of question marks popped up in Wang Jing's mind.
This group of maritime merchants... really won with their wings, and even refused to give face to the five surnames and Qiwang?
Normally, for maritime merchants, as long as they have the intention to do a business with a lot of money, they will definitely be happy to make a deal. There is no other reason. The face of the five surnames and Qiwang cannot be denied.
And now...
No, don't these businessmen even want to do money-making business?
These maritime traders...did they encounter something bad?
Wang Jing naturally thought of this!
Not only him, but Pei Ji, Li Tiancheng and others also thought so at this moment.
There is no doubt that these maritime merchants must have encountered a shortage of funds for some reason.
If something happened and I ran out of money, how could I not do business that I still have money for? This is not the same as retiring and taking off my armor.
"Brother Li Shi...what do you think about this matter?"
Wang Jing felt a little panicked for no reason. He frowned and turned to look at the old man Li Tiancheng who was nearest him.
When Li Tiancheng heard this, he felt inexplicably nervous.
But after a moment, he still took a breath and said, "Alas..."
"The sea is very windy and rough, and it is said that there are fishes that can swallow boats. It has been a dangerous place since ancient times... These merchants may have encountered some trouble, so..."
As he spoke, Li Tiancheng shook his head.
Shaking the head is an unbearable gesture. It may mean that the person is not confident in what he or she is saying, it may mean that the person is insecure, or it may simply mean that the person is in a bad mood...
But being unbearable is also a state. In short, Li Tiancheng looks a little depressed at the moment.
When Wang Jing saw that this old man who was so arrogant in the past was like this, he suddenly felt 70-80% sure. He estimated... If he guessed correctly, there should be something going on at sea -
The specific situation is more intriguing. First, overseas malt candies and wine and milk cannot be exported, and now the funds of maritime merchants are cut off...
Wang Jing then had a round of exchanges with a few old guys.
"Brother Pei..."
After thinking about this strange situation, Wang Jing felt like he still had to ask Pei Ji, "What do you think about this? What happened overseas?"
When Wang Jing asked, Pei Ji tilted his head and started thinking hard. After a while, suddenly!
Pei Ji frowned and spoke with serious eyes,
"I understand. It must be..."
"Brother Pei, what do you say?"
Wang Jing suddenly became nervous, while Li Tiancheng and others also had the same expression.
After all, if you look at Pei Ji's enigmatic appearance, it's obvious that the master has his own scheming and has figured out the clues and found the truth.
Absolutely.
So many pairs of eyes gathered at once, and then... Pei Ji shook his head and spoke slowly,
"This matter may be said to be complex, but it may be said to be simple... but it is also simple. According to Pei, it must be related to the Roman state!"
"Rome?"
"Luo...but that Roman country in Tessie?"
As for the name of Europe, China's ancient name was "Taixi". Because of Li Sheng's influence, people from all walks of life surrounding the two major colleges, together with Li Er and others, also called it Europe.
Pei Ji went on to say, "Earlier this year, I heard that Rome sent troops in two directions, one in the southeast and one in the southwest. On one side, they were confronting Li Er's army, and on the other side, they were threatening the Arab countries. This year
It’s almost over...I haven’t heard any obvious movement from Rome, but now that I think about it..."
Pei Ji shook his head and said with a deep look, "The Roman Kingdom must have done something, and the world's weapons have risen... Of course, overseas people are busy collecting food, so how can they have enough money to buy sugar candies and wine?
.”
Pei Ji said this.
Wang Jing and others couldn't help but be startled, and then they all showed expressions of understanding!
Indeed... As Pei Ji said, this analysis is quite reasonable. If it weren't for the war, how could such scarce goods as candy and wine not be sold? It's impossible.
Everyone has been thinking about this reason for a long time but can't figure it out. Now that they think about it, it really is like this!
This is very exciting.
Moreover, Pei Ji's theory also explains another strange thing, that is, what has happened to the maritime merchants recently, which has caused them to be unable to do business and stop buying candies and wine here... The war has begun, how can we do nothing?
