After being stunned for a long time, Wang Jing came back to his senses and gradually realized that this chess game was indeed...
He had won a small hand just now, but when Pei Ji lost another hand, the situation changed again.
I originally had a headwind in the chess game. I thought I had regained a little bit, but now I discovered that the small headwind had turned into a big headwind.
It's over... it's over!
Wang Jing was so frustrated that he had no choice but to throw away the chess piece with a bitter smile, and helplessly faced Pei Ji's proud smile...
Master style!
However, although he was frustrated, Wang Jing's helpless expression only lasted for a second, and then he burst into laughter.
"Hahahahahahaha! Brother Pei's chess skills were the best among our generation when he was young. Now he is still as impressive as ever, even more sophisticated... I am really ashamed of myself!"
Wang Jing, in a rare move of admitting his own shortcomings, directly complimented Pei Ji.
Immediately afterwards, Zheng Taishan, Li Tiancheng and others who were watching the battle beside Wang Jing also complimented Pei Ji with exclamations on their faces——
You must know that Pei's level is relatively low among the five surnames and seven hopes. This is very clear. He is similar to Xiao Yu's level.
But at this moment, it is Li Tiancheng, Zheng Taishan, a group of powerful men, and even Wang Jing who are so fawning over Pei Ji!
The reason behind this is naturally because...
"Sigh... A few days ago, we were all exhausted mentally and physically, and we were in constant panic. Without Brother Pei's plan, we still don't know how we would have acted blindly, but now we are afraid that we would have been defeated like a mountain!"
Wang Jing let out a long sigh and lamented loudly!
As for Wang Jing's emotion, the others around him, including Li Tiancheng, Cui Baihe and others, nodded enthusiastically and agreed.
That's right...
After all, Wu Surname Qi Wang is a vanity circle. If there is no special reason, this group of people will certainly not be loyal to people whose strength is lower than theirs.
But this time, Pei Ji really accomplished something. If Pei Ji hadn't analyzed the situation before and asked Wang Jing and others not to act blindly and calmly wait for the opportunity, then maybe... No, it should be said that there is a high probability that something will happen.
Not to mention, overseas trade alone will have to stop. Once overseas trade stops, the losses suffered by the five surnames and Qiwang due to pirates during this period will be fully realized, and the benefits obtained before will basically be wiped out, and...
…
And the most important thing is that Wang Jing and the others have designated that they will not do anything about sea trade again. If this continues, in the future... the five surnames and the seven hopes will definitely lose one source of wealth, and it is very likely that
It is the biggest source of wealth from now on, and it can even be said that it is the only way for the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes to regain their strength in the era when Li Er conquered the world and became the king.
But now, thanks to Pei Ji speaking out, this financial path has finally been saved.
For such a big matter involving such a large amount of assets, how could you ask Wang Jing and the others not to show their gratitude to Pei Ji?
At this stage, Wang Jing and others looked at Pei Ji as if they were living Buddhas again.
Of course, in addition to the effectiveness of Pei Ji's previous suggestions, there is another reason...
That's Pei Ji's suggestion, it's very effective!
In recent times, the prices of exotic goods from overseas have skyrocketed.
Not only did Wang Jing and others see profits again, but the price surge also completely exceeded expectations and was extremely abnormal.
In addition, what Pei Ji gave was not advice, but an analysis, which allowed Wang Jing and others to re-optimize the crossbow armament configuration on the merchant ship, and the ability to resist pirates was indeed increased.
In short, due to the superposition of various factors, in just one month, Wang Jing and others, as well as the wealthy families and fleets they controlled...
The benefits obtained from sea trade are even greater than the previous months combined!
This is a profit for several months, not excluding the losses during the period when the pirates just became more frequent. No matter how large the profits were before, they are not as exaggerated as this month.
The reason for this is very simple, because large-scale large-scale industry has not yet truly emerged, and the power of finance has not yet emerged, but the prosperity of trade has laid the foundation for both - where there is profit, there is speculation, and when there is speculation,
There are speculative skills.
What Wang Jing and others are interested in is a speculative technique, and all speculative techniques consist of cheating.
This time, Li Er originally used the pirates' hands to influence the decision-making of merchants, thereby regulating the resource inflow and product output of the entire Tang Dynasty.
But although the pirate is also a knife, its sharpness is actually limited. If there are players with certain strength among the merchants, then there will be room for cheating...
Like later generations, no matter what means are used to intervene in the market, there will always be corresponding cheating means, and big capital can often achieve results reliably and ruthlessly. This is also one of the commonplace issues in the modern financial field.
It is impossible for Wang Jing and others to know what "modern finance" is, but the benefits of successful cheating are definitely visible to the naked eye.
There are only two words to describe this feeling.
So delicious!
It's so fragrant.
Recalling that I almost gave up sea trade with tears in my eyes, Wang Jing, Li Tiancheng, Cui Baihe and the others couldn't help but break into a cold sweat.
If this bitch really let her go, would she regret it to death now?
This is exactly why they are licking and praising Pei Ji now.
And it's not the key reason.
The key reason is that in fact, even if Pei Ji came up with the solution later...for example, about a month later.
Then Wang Jing and others will not have the super high profits in this month, and they will lose blood.
but!
After all, that's just one month's profit.
No matter how high it is, it’s only one month.
And since this road to riches can still be very long, then why should everyone... be obsessed with this month? The future is still long!
And realizing this is even more exciting.
So how could Wang Jing and others not sing praises to Pei Ji and praise him? They couldn't praise him enough.
After some analysis, Pei Ji was a little overwhelmed by Wang Jing and others' blow-up...
What is a master and what is Zhuge in this world?
This kind of thing is called Zhuge in this world!
Pei Ji's mood has been better than ever this month.
But here’s the thing…
Wang Jing and others started talking about the business, and Pei Ji showed a mysterious, master-like smile, but then showed an inexplicable look of thought.
Wang Jing and others naturally did not pay attention to this small detail - then again, Pei Ji is the master of the brothers. There must be many details for a master. Even if he noticed it, he couldn't think of any information.
Of course, this is not the point. The point is that Pei Ji's little expression is informative.
What Pei Ji thought of was nothing else, but... Actually, he didn't think of anything, but looking at Wang Jing, Li Tiancheng, Cui Baihe and the others being so happy day by day, he always felt that something was wrong...
