Chapter 516 Haha! This is the rhythm of making big money!
“The price has risen too fast and I can’t stand it at all.”
"What exactly does Nanyang Hanting mean?"
"You really have money to burn, a house costs tens of thousands of gold!"
"Let me see, the emperor's son is probably the same as Han Ling Emperor."
"Yeah, it's really fun. I heard that a house recently opened, with a large courtyard with five entrances, is actually three stories high in the middle, and the wing rooms in the second and fourth entrance courtyards are both two stories high. It looks like it from a distance.
Like a hill.”
"..."
At this moment, a bunch of people were talking about the houses in Luoyang Imperial City.
After Wu Yun finished handling the matters at hand, he came over and said softly: "To be honest, we have made so much money, I really want to buy a house in Luoyang Imperial City."
"You should also know that in the future Luoyang will be an important place in Gyeonggi Province. Under the emperor's feet, there is a place where every inch of land is very valuable. If you can have a house there, you will really honor your ancestors."
Immediately, someone turned around and asked curiously: "Old Wu, why don't you buy it?"
Wu Yun shook his head and sighed: "It's not that I don't want to buy it, but the owner of the family won't let me buy it. He said that the current situation is unstable and the imperial court may attack Yizhou. Once the two sides break up, those properties will be bought in vain.
.”
"That's true."
In an instant, everyone once again focused on the relationship between the two parties and started a heated discussion:
"Seriously, how can a person like His Majesty the Emperor of Nanyang, who at such a young age conquer all the wasteland and the world, leave Yizhou alone?"
"Yes, but why haven't they attacked yet? Logically speaking, they can just go north with the navy."
"I'm also wondering. The timing is perfect, but it's just an order. Why is it so confusing?"
"Hey, could it be that Nanyang is out of food and grass?"
"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"
"Yes, there is so much food in Nanyang that we can't eat it all. Last year, the output was more than five stones per mu. Can you believe it? Besides, they don't have many troops going south."
"Whether there is food or not, the Han court in Nanyang has never attacked Yizhou. This is an established fact."
"It can't be because the golden monkey comes from Yizhou, right?"
"How is this possible? If you want a golden monkey, just call in and it won't all be yours?"
"Then why?"
"..."
Everyone talked a lot, but there was no conclusion at all.
They maintained a high-profile consistency regarding Nanyang Hanting's attitude towards Yizhou.
But as for the reason, no one can say it, and there are even a lot of weird excuses coming out.
"Old Wu, what do you think?"
At that moment, someone looked up at Wu Yun and said curiously: "The head of your family is a powerful general in Yizhou. His news must be correct. Why don't you tell me."
"What should I say?"
Wu Yun paused for a moment and broke into a faint smile: "I'm afraid even Liu Yizhou is thinking exactly the same as us at the moment. He will be curious about why Nanyang Hanting didn't attack."
"So don't look at it now. The whole Yizhou is calm, but the current situation in the military is definitely not optimistic. Everyone's nerves are tense, for fear of any accidents."
"It is said..."
Wu Yun came closer and lowered his voice and said: "There is a weapon in the Han court in Nanyang called Fuhuo Thunder, which has the effect of breaking mountains and cracking rocks. Cai Mao, Yuan Shao, and even Chang'an all suffered from this kind of weapon.
.”
"The eight hundred miles of Qinchuan in Yizhou are indeed difficult and dangerous, but they are no match for the thunder and fire. Even the barbarians in Jingnan have surrendered to the Nanyang Han court."
"Yeah."
Then, someone echoed: "I have also heard about this. The leader of the army seems to be named Zhou Yu. He just crossed the Yangtze River and made a surprise attack on the territory of the Wuxi Barbarians, and eventually became good friends with Samoko."
"I heard that now, with the help of Samoko, many barbarians have surrendered to Nanyang. As for those who remained, they were all defeated by Zhou Yu with the help of Samoko."
"Although the Han Dynasty in Nanyang has not yet captured the entire territory of Jingzhou, it will only happen sooner or later. Cai Mao has not won a single battle since he retreated to Xiangyang."
"The reason why Liu Yizhou is afraid of Nanyang Hanting is because Nanyang Hanting has won many battles. When it comes to water warfare, there are navy warships. When it comes to land warfare, there are tigers, wolves, and leopard cavalry. When it comes to mountain warfare, there are also mandarin duck troops.
.”
"Tell me..."
The man glanced at the leaders of the noble clans: "What can Yizhou do to fight with others? It is wise for Liu Yizhou to do this. It can be delayed for one day. Anyway, there are not many good days left."
"We, like us, will take advantage of this opportunity to make a lot of money, and strive to leave this remote rural area in the future and go to big cities like Luoyang and Wancheng to truly experience what prosperity is."
Wu Yun let out a sigh: "Actually, I think so too, so we must unite now to sell the golden monkey at a high price. Otherwise, if we buy the house in Luoyang, won't we all get it back?"
"oh?"
Someone asked curiously: "I wonder, Old Wu, how much do you think it should be sold for?"
Wu Yun frowned, glanced at everyone, and lowered his voice: "Based on my contact with them, I feel that they have become rich recently and are very arrogant. There will definitely be no problem if they are within one hundred and fifty gold."
"Of course, this is definitely not what I, Wu Yun, want. Since this is the last batch, we are going to make a big profit. I thought it would be at least two hundred gold, otherwise there is no need to discuss it."
"Two hundred gold?"
Everyone gasped in unison, with shock written all over their faces:
"Old Wu, is this possible? Emperor Nanyang is not stupid. What if we drive him crazy?"
"Yes, Lao Wu, I feel like two hundred gold is a bit risky."
"I am very satisfied to have one hundred and fifty gold."
"I never ask for two hundred gold."
"..."
Wu Yun raised his chin proudly. Facing these timid guys, he really felt that the opponent's situation was very small and they would definitely not be able to achieve big things. If he had to cooperate with them, how could he think highly of them.
"Everyone!"
Wu Yun waved his hand to interrupt everyone, and said loudly: "Don't you see it yet? In terms of price increases, we are simply no match for His Majesty the Emperor of Nanyang."
"From the first phase of the Luoyang Imperial City, which cost 1,200 gold and half an acre of courtyard, now the three-acre courtyard is close to 10,000 gold. His Majesty the Emperor of Nanyang can earn thousands more gold just by waving his finger!"
"Why do people who come to Yizhou to buy golden monkeys dare to increase the price of hardware? It's because they know that the imperial court is rich, and this amount of money is not worth mentioning to them."
"If you lose a little here at Jinsi Linghou, you can easily earn it back at Luoyang Real Estate. There are so many loans to buy a house. Do you know how much money you have to deposit to Zhongxing Bank every month?"
"We!"
Speaking of this, Wu Yun took a long breath and said with a slightly cold voice: "I am just afraid of poverty. I don't even dare to dream big dreams. I just make a small profit. Do you really think His Majesty the Emperor of Nanyang will care?"
hiss-!
Everyone was shocked and showed horrified looks.
That's right, how can this golden monkey compare with the house in Luoyang?
When people raise prices casually, it can be hundreds or even thousands of gold. How many rich people rush in to take advantage of it? Compared with His Majesty the Nanyang Emperor, he is really just a country bumpkin, and others don't look down on him at all.
"Yes, who are we? How can we be compared with His Majesty the Emperor of Nanyang?"
"In that case, breaking through 150 gold will definitely be no problem."
"I feel that the price of two hundred gold is just around the corner."
"It has to be managed by Lao Wu, so that the price can be guaranteed."
"That's right, only by following Lao Wu can we make a lot of money."
"..."
While everyone was flattering Wu Yun one by one, he waved his hand and continued his analysis: "According to my guess, the Emperor went to Luoyang to inspect the progress of the project, and most likely wanted to move back to Luoyang as soon as possible."
"After all, his palace in Nanyang was rebuilt from the original prefect's palace. In a sense, it is not as luxurious as the royal post house. How can your majesty not be anxious?"
"Why the price of these golden monkeys has skyrocketed is probably related to His Majesty's eagerness to return to Luoyang. Other projects can be built slowly, but the palace is definitely the top priority."
Have to admit it.
Wu Yun's analysis of the problem is indeed reasonable and well-founded.
However, these theories and evidence were all made up by his own imagination, just to provide a reasonable explanation for Nanyang Hanting's abnormal behavior, so as to satisfy his desire to make money.
This is the nature of man in madness!
They can always find various "reasonable" explanations for price increases, so that they can continue to play and deceive themselves. They have completely ignored that the risks are coming quietly.
(PS: Only those who have experienced the bull market can truly understand this feeling: making money every day, watching the index reach new highs every day, and even dreaming of becoming a bull market for ten years. But if you enter now, you will definitely make a lot of money.)
"Report—!"
At this moment, a long announcement sounded outside the house.
Everyone turned to look.
But I saw a young man hurried in with surprise in his expression. He didn't even bother to salute, so he raised his hand and pointed outside the house: "I found it. I found the golden monkey. There are many golden monkeys."
Hooray!
In an instant, more than ten people stood up and looked at the young man: "Where are they? How many are there?"
The young man replied: "In Langzhong, at the home of the Pu family."
"The Park family?"
Wu Yun frowned and felt bad, but he still asked: "How many golden monkeys are there?"
The young man shook his head: "Well... I'm really not sure. Anyway, there are golden monkeys all over the mountains and plains. I heard that it is the Pu family's property. There must be thousands of them."
"How many?"
"Thousands of them?"
hiss-!
Everyone gasped in unison, and the energy seemed to go from the mouth to the Tianling Cap. They instantly widened their eyes and stared at the man in disbelief.
The man was stunned for a moment, then nodded firmly: "There should be no less than a thousand, right? What I saw alone were hundreds on the ground, and there were many standing on tree branches in the mountains and forests."
One thousand golden-threaded monkeys, even if calculated at 150 gold, would be worth 150,000 gold. If the price could be higher, it would be at least 200,000 gold.
How could these nobles let such a huge deal go so easily?
Wu Yun, who was originally a little afraid of the Pu family, couldn't help but become bold now. As long as this deal can be successful, what's the point of taking some risks?
suck!
call-!
Wu Yun took a deep breath, and the desire in his heart was completely ignited: "Langzhong, the Pu family in Banzhen, it seems that it is necessary for us to pay a visit in person."
*****
Langzhong.
Park family.
A burly man, sitting upright at the head of the table, looked at the man in Hanfu next to him with a smile, cupped his hands and clasped his fists, and said softly: "Don't worry, Gong Heng, I know what to do, and I promise not to show any cowardice."
.”
The man is none other than Banzhen's Manpu family.
Puhu!
The person next to him was also from Langzhong. His surname was Huang Mingquan and his given name was Gongheng.
Huang Quan nodded with satisfaction, leaned forward and cupped his hands and said: "In that case, I would like to thank Mr. Pu. My Majesty said that you have done great service to the great ancestor back then, and you will receive the treatment you received now."
"Moreover, you can completely govern yourself and enjoy the imperial court's universal national system. You will not be taxed for three years. At the same time, the imperial court will send people to teach you various abilities."
Pu Hufei nodded quickly: "Of course, Pu believes in the credibility of His Majesty the Nanyang Emperor. We all know how he treats Jingnan Samoko."
"If you want to go back to Nanyang, please tell me that I, Park, will take care of the matter. You don't have to worry about Your Majesty. If anything happens, just send a message directly."
Huang Quan smiled faintly, leaned forward and handed over his hands: "Master Pu is generous, and my Majesty knows it well. Don't worry, Huang will convey it on his behalf. However, recently, someone has sneaked into Langzhong, and I guess someone will come to visit soon."
"My Majesty thinks so."
Having said this, Huang Quan took a deep breath and said: "This is a big deal after all. It is inevitable that the other party will be jealous of the money and kill you."
"Therefore, Your Majesty ordered me to bring some Fuhuo Thunderbolt. If the thieves really want to take action, just defend your hilltop. When the court hears the news, they will definitely send troops to assist."
Pu Hu handed over his hand again and shed tears of gratitude: "His Majesty is still worried about us and has been thinking about us. Based on this, I think the original decision of our seven families will not be wrong."
"The things are here, so I accepted them. Don't worry, Gong Heng. With Liu Yan's troops and horses, he may not be able to take us down. Otherwise, we shouldn't hang out in Langzhong."
"You are from Langzhong yourself, so you should understand that although Liu Yan has many soldiers and horses now, as long as he gets here, it will not be effective if he has many soldiers and horses."
"He is not His Majesty, so we are not afraid of him."
Pu Hu's voice was sonorous, powerful, and full of confidence.
"good."
Huang Quan handed over his hand again and stood up: "Since Mr. Pu said so, then Huang naturally believes in your ability. In this case, I will take my leave."
"I send you!"
"good."
Pu Hu personally sent Huang Quan away. Not long after returning to the house, he heard a long announcement from outside: "Report—!"
Pu Hu raised his eyes and looked.
However, he saw that his own bodyguard came into the house and bowed: "Master, Wu Yi's steward Wu Yun wants to see you."
"oh?"
Pu Hu naturally knew that Wu Yun was the spokesperson for the entire Yizhou merchants.
This person was specially assigned by Huang Quan, but he never expected that this person would come so quickly.
Pu Hu frowned and sighed: "This kid moves so fast. He's here now. Let him come in."
The guard held up his hands: "Here."
Immediately.
Bowed and left the room.
At this moment, Wu Yun looked shocked, staring at the golden monkeys all over the mountains and plains, his eyes almost popped out of his head.
He simply couldn't believe that there were so many golden monkeys in Langzhong.
Fortunately, I haven't been here before, otherwise everything might have been sold at a low price. Now that I'm here, as long as I can buy it, I can definitely sell it at a good price. It's a God-given opportunity.
"Old Wu, there are indeed a lot of golden monkeys here."
A middle-aged man next to him stared at the golden monkey and said in a low voice.
"Lao Zhang, how many do you think we can have?"
Wu Yun turned to glance at the man and asked tentatively.
"I'm afraid there are no less than two thousand."
The Zhang family man took a deep breath and responded in a low voice.
hiss-!
Wu Yun was surprised: "Are you sure? There can be two thousand here?"
"Of course I'm sure, just a little more."
"Very good!"
"We'll make a fortune this time."
"..."
While the two were chatting.
A man walked out from inside, waved his hand and said: "Our master, please come in."
Wu Yun immediately handed over his hands and followed the man into Pu's house.
Pass through the corridor and the courtyard, and the winding path leads to the quiet place.
Not long after, Wu Yun rushed to the room, stepped forward, and saluted: "Wu Yun in Xia Shu County, the head of the family is Wu Yi, the general of Yizhou Mu Zhang."
Lao Zhang also bowed his hands and bowed hastily: "I am Zhang Quan from Shu County. The head of the family is Zhang Su, a staff member of the Yizhou Shepherd Tent. I have come here to pay a visit to Mr. Pu."
"snort."
Pu Hu glanced at the two of them, with a look of disdain on his face, and said coldly: "It turns out they are Wu Yi and Zhang Su's two dogs. I thought the real owner had arrived."
"you......"
Zhang Quan was about to get angry, but Wu Yun forcibly held him down and interrupted him directly: "Mr. Park, we are not here for government affairs. We just want to do business with Mr. Park. We declare our family status just because we want to see Mr. Park."
"oh?"
Pu Hu deliberately pretended not to know, and Yang Zuo asked curiously: "You guys? Want to do business with me?"
Wu Yun nodded: "Yes, it is true."
"snort."
Pu Hu snorted and asked deliberately: "What business do you do?"
Wu Yun didn't bother to cover up, and said directly: "I heard that there are many golden monkeys here in the Pu family. We want to spend some money to buy these golden monkeys."
"Golden Silk Monkey?"
Pu Hu frowned and raised his hand with the posture of an Oscar-winning actor: "Why do you want this beast? Do you want to kill it and eat it?"
Wu Yun only said that Pu Hu didn't know about the golden monkey, and he was secretly happy in his heart, and said softly: "That's not true, I just want to buy it, not to satisfy my appetite."
Pu Hu no longer dwelled on these matters and just asked: "Then how much money are you prepared to pay?"
The corners of Wu Yun's lips raised slightly, a faint smile broke out, and he extended a slap: "A golden monkey, five thousand dollars, how about it?"
Pu Hu's eyes widened: "How much? Five thousand dollars?"
Wu Yun nodded: "Young or old, five thousand yuan each."
"snort."
Pu Hu snorted, feeling deeply that the merchants were treacherous. The price given by the court could no longer be judged by the difference between it and the price. They were simply in the same heaven and on earth.
"so......"
Pu Hu said angrily: "I still have to thank you? Even an old person who is about to die can buy it for five thousand yuan. A newborn with a bigger butt can also sell it for five thousand yuan."
Wu Yun sensed Pu Hu's dissatisfaction from the other party's expression, and immediately changed his words: "If Mr. Pu is not satisfied, can we discuss it again?"
"discuss?"
Pu Hu snorted angrily and raised his eyebrows: "Who do you think you are? Do I need to discuss this with you?"
Wu Yun knew that he had made a mistake, so he changed his words again: "Otherwise... one gold for each one is acceptable. Mr. Park should know how much food can be purchased for one gold."
"I bother!"
Before Wu Yun could speak, Pu Hu directly retorted: "We worked so hard to collect it and raised it so big, but you only gave us one gold?"
"Get out!"
Pu Hu was furious and shouted: "Get out of here!"
Wu Yun refused to give up: "Hardware!"
"Go away!"
"Ten gold, no more."
"Do you have to let me do it?"
"this......"
When Wu Yun was thinking about retreating, Zhang Quan on the side said directly: "Fifty gold!"
Although this price has doubled compared to the current selling price, the money in their hands may not be that much. After all, many of the previous golden monkeys were less than fifty gold.
"Are you crazy?"
Wu Yun's eyes widened, and anger surged into his throat.
"Old Wu."
Zhang Quan winked: "It's not easy for Mr. Pu to feed the Golden Monkey. As for the extra ones, they should be filial to Mr. Pu. Once they are born, they will be familiar with each other. Should we still do business in the future?"
"you......"
Wu Yun suppressed his anger.
He wasn't pretending, he was really angry.
Zhang Quan was so impatient that he immediately raised the price to fifty gold. As a result, the space for his mediation would become very small and the profit margin would be compressed.
"Fifty gold?"
But even so, Pu Hu still didn't show a horrified look. Instead, he was dismissive as usual: "Do you think I would care about that mere fifty gold?"
"I'll say it again!"
At this point, Pu Hu's voice suddenly doubled in volume: "Get out of here! If you want to talk business with me, let your master come. I don't talk business with dogs!"
"Someone is coming!"
Pu Hu shouted loudly.
"Master of the house."
Two guards came outside the door.
"Kick these two dogs out!"
Pu Huteng stood up and shouted angrily.
"Here."
The two guards suddenly turned around and said coldly: "You two, why don't you get out of here quickly? Do you have to force us to do it ourselves?"
Wu Yun knew that it was impossible to discuss business this time, so he simply cupped his hands and said, "Don't be angry, Mr. Pu. After I get back, I will discuss it with the head of the family. I hope he can discuss business with Mr. Pu personally."
"That's right."
Zhang Quan also hurriedly nodded and said: "This time we have taken the liberty to come here to make trouble. If we have offended, I hope Mr. Pu will forgive me and don't take it seriously. We will leave now. We will leave now."
