Ning Chen came to the north mainly to promote Baijiadao.
Making money is just a casual thing.
Furthermore, when Ning Chen makes money, it is also to better promote Baijiadao.
King Ming's envoy arrived first.
It is obvious that King Ming's envoys are more enlightened.
There was no need for Ning Chen to raise any price. King Ming's envoy directly expressed his willingness to take back all the grain and other materials sold to Ning Chen at a one-third discount at three times the normal market price.
King Ming was so happy that Ning Chen doubled the price and asked King Ming to take it back four times.
I mentioned that King Ming and the others had been storing it for so long, so the cost was not low.
In addition, after selling this cheap food, Ning Chen's Baijiacheng still has to buy food at normal prices.
These are all fees.
"King Ming is the most sensible person. I believe what I said can be understood by everyone because of the great cause of Wang Ming's family." Ning Chen said to King Ming's envoy with a smile on his face.
Although the envoy of King Ming had already scolded Ning Chen so much in his heart, he still wanted to maintain this enthusiastic smile on his face.
At the same time, I have to keep working hard and keep nodding my head in agreement.
"Uncle Champion is absolutely right, but I can't make the decision on this kind of thing. Please allow me to contact Lord Mingwang, Uncle Champion."
Ning Chen put his head on his forehead and said in a reasonable manner: "Of course it should be done, but it's better to do it faster. My Baijia City is relatively small and has limited land resources. Every time I store more, the cost will rise a lot."
After hearing what Ning Chen said, the envoy sent by King Ming did not dare to delay at all.
Contact Ming Wang immediately.
If this delay continued for another day, he felt that Ning Chen could double the price for him.
Soon he got in touch with Prince Ming.
After repeating Ning Chen's words to Prince Ming exactly as they were.
Prince Ming on the other end of the telegraph was silent for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and agreed to the price proposed by Ning Chen.
"Our prince has agreed to this price. I wonder when I can get the goods?" Prince Ming's envoy came to Ning Chen and asked.
"Once the money is in place, the goods can be picked up. In our Baijia City, what we pay attention to is that one money is paid and the goods are paid." When the business was completed, the smile on Ning Chen's face became a little brighter.
"Prince Qianqian has sent someone to deliver it in person. Normally, it should arrive tomorrow morning." The envoy from Prince Ming replied.
After hearing what Prince Ming's envoy said, Ning Chen said rather embarrassedly: "Prince Ming took too good care of me and knew that I was short of money, so he sent someone to deliver it overnight.
In fact, Uncle Ben can still have it on hand now, and it won’t be a problem even if it’s a day or two late.”
What Ning Chen said made the envoy of King Ming almost bite his back teeth.
He has truly never seen such a shameless person.
Why did you send the money overnight? Don't you know why?
If it really happened for a day or two at night, the price might have doubled several times.
Furthermore, Ning Feng said that what he had on hand was okay.
You can do more than that.
Now among the four northern states, if there is one person, I dare say that person has more money than you.
Most of the money and grain in the four northern states are already in your hands.
Just say you can do it.
If the name Ning Chen is acceptable, then these vassal kings are poor people.
After some polite greetings, Ning Chen asked Zheng Da to take the envoy down below to rest.
But before dawn, the envoy from King Ming came to look for Ning Chen again.
For no other reason than King Ming's envoy came over with money.
"Uncle Champion has a total of two million and four hundred and forty thousand taels of silver. I would like Uncle Champion to check it out." The envoy of King Ming handed a storage talisman to Ning Chen and said.
Ning Chen took the storage talisman and after checking it carefully, said: "The number is correct. King Ming really takes care of the younger generation. When you guys go back, you must say hello to King Ming on my behalf."
"Definitely, definitely."
After dealing with Ning Chen, the envoy from King Ming immediately asked: "Uncle Champion, can we go pick up the goods now?"
"It's really inconvenient to go around in the dark now. Let's wait until tomorrow morning. Don't worry, it will be stored for free tonight."
With Ning Chen's guarantee of free storage, Mingwang Messenger and the others could finally have a solid night's sleep.
Early the next morning, Ning Chen, Guo Xin, and the others went to the warehouse to count the supplies.
Because the materials are originally stored according to the various forces, it is very convenient to count them.
Seeing that they were neatly stacked, most of the supplies had not even been removed, including ropes and seals.
People like King Ming's messengers really feel bitter in their hearts.
These supplies were originally the artillery shells they used to deal with Wu Ang and Ning Chen.
The result was good now, the cannonball was directly accepted by Ning Chen.
Instead, they are now demanding a high price to buy the artillery shells that were originally theirs from their enemies.
King Ming's envoys came with a transport team this time.
I came here with the determination to get the goods away.
So in just one morning, everyone had already finished loading the truck.
This batch of supplies is really too much. If there is less, they can still use space talismans.
But with such a huge number, if space talismans were used, at least tens of thousands would be needed.
One talisman costs one hundred taels of silver, and tens of thousands of them cost more than one million taels of silver.
This would make Prince Ming, who was already not wealthy, even worse.
On the contrary, if it is transported by manpower, the cost is much lower.
Think about it again, Ning Chen didn't even give them free shipping for the supplies they bought at four times the price.
King Ming's messenger made them feel even more aggrieved.
Ning Chen felt that adjectives like "grievance" were simply not enough to describe Prince Ming and the others.
A great injustice.
This is suitable for the situation of King Ming and others at this moment.
Ning Chen likes such a big grievance very much.
If possible, Ning Chen hopes that such a big grievance can be beaten by Ning Chen.
King Ming has finished loading the truck and is just getting ready to leave the city.
Just happened to meet the envoy from Beizhou Wang Qi's family.
The Qi family's envoy also came with a transportation team.
The King of Beizhou obviously came here with the determination to win.
Seeing someone else coming over, he continued to bear his previous grievances.
The envoy of King Ming felt inexplicably better.
When a person takes on all this, he will indeed feel a little sad.
Someone accompanied me to bear this grievance, and suddenly I became enlightened.
Seeing King Ming's delegation, they had already taken away the supplies.
The envoy from the King of Beizhou also sped towards Baijia Academy.
The envoy of King Ming looked at the back of the envoy of King Beizhou, hesitated for a moment, and then told his deputies to continue moving forward. He had something to do and had to return to Baijia Academy.
The deputy did not ask too many questions and continued to lead the people on their way.
…
The words are divided into two parts.
The envoy from King Ming was slowly returning, while the envoy from King Beizhou had already entered Baijia Academy and met the champion Bo Ningchen.
"I have met Uncle Champion." The envoy from the King of Beizhou greeted Ning Chen respectfully.
"You don't have to be so polite. I know your purpose, so you can just make an offer. If the price is right, you can take the things away today." Ning Chen didn't intend to. He was too entangled on this issue, so he just came up directly.
Straightforward.
The envoy from the King of Beizhou stopped being polite when he saw Ning Chen, and directly told the price of his trip: "The King of Beizhou is willing to redeem all the supplies at twice the market price."
After Ning Chen heard the price, he sneered and said, "Don't you think the King of Beizhou feels that such a price is a bit unfair to the King of Beizhou's throne?"
The envoy of the King of Beizhou understood as soon as he heard Ning Chen's words that the price he had given was low.
But this price is already the highest price that the King of Beizhou can give.
"Uncle Champion, the prince also knows that the price is indeed a bit low.
But the prince really has no cash in his hands.
If the champion feels that he is at a disadvantage, the prince will promise.
This autumn, the prince is willing to sell another copy of the same supplies to Uncle Champion."
Even if the King of Beizhou promised to sell the same amount of supplies, it would actually only be three times as much.
If you include that you have to wait until autumn, the price that the Beizhou King can offer is a little more than double.
Not even two and a half times.
This price is really insincere.
Just when Ning Chen was about to speak, Zheng Da came back with the Ming King's envoy who had returned.
"What's the problem with the goods you came back this time?" Ning Chen asked as he didn't know what King Ming's envoy was doing when he came back.
The envoy of King Ming quickly expressed his position and said: "There is no problem with the goods. It's just that when I was halfway there, I suddenly thought of something and wanted to discuss it with Uncle Champion."
"Tell me, what's going on?" Ning Chen asked.
The envoy of King Ming glanced at the envoy of Beizhou King and said: "Since you have something to do, Uncle Champion, you can do it first. After you finish your work, I will negotiate with Uncle Champion."
Ning Chen glanced at the envoy from the King of Beizhou and said: "No, we have already finished the discussion. If you have anything to do, just tell me directly. It will not affect me."
Upon seeing this, the messenger from King Ming immediately nodded in agreement, then stood up and said to Ning Chen: "Uncle Champion, I received an urgent message from the prince on the way.
The prince hopes to purchase a batch of supplies at five times the market price and take them back together."
Ning Chen didn't expect that Prince Ming, the envoy, would actually come to assist him.
Since they are here to assist me, it doesn’t matter whether we were enemies or friends just now, now we are all friends.
"Since King Ming trusts me so much, there is no reason not to buy it. I will ask someone to take you to the warehouse to pick up as much as you need." Ning Chen said to King Ming's envoy.
The envoy from the King of Beizhou saw this scene.
Although I felt that Ning Chen and the envoy from the King of Beizhou were looking at me.
But he didn't dare to gamble.
If the bet loses, the Beizhou King will be torn apart.
I am afraid that the King of Beizhou will no longer exist.
Therefore, whether this matter was true or false, he had to rush forward.
"Uncle Champion, everything should be done on a first-come, first-served basis. We from Beizhou Palace came first, so we should hear our price first." The envoy from Beizhou Palace spoke first.
"Didn't you just quote the price? I don't think that price is appropriate." Ning Chen said bluntly.
"Uncle Champion, that was the price just now, but the price is different now." Seeing that Ning Chen was going to talk to the envoy of King Ming, the envoy of Beizhou King stepped forward and stood in front of the envoy of King Ming.
"Brother Lan, it's inappropriate for you to do this. You've already offered the price once, and now it's my turn to offer the price." The envoy of King Ming said dissatisfiedly to the envoy of King Beizhou who was standing in front of him.
The envoy of King Beizhou turned around, looked at the envoy of King Ming with cold eyes and said threateningly: "Who did it inappropriately? You should know better than me."
The envoy of King Ming looked at the envoy of King Beizhou, looking crazy, and couldn't help but feel happy in his heart.
However, he would not really raise the price for this batch of supplies with the envoy of the King of Beizhou.
No matter how much the two of them raise their prices, Ning Chen will be the cheaper one in the end.
This is obviously not worthwhile.
All he has to do is not to let himself be wronged alone.
"In that case, I will give you another chance to bid. As long as your price is lower than mine, then you will have nothing to say." The envoy of King Ming compromised.
Seeing that King Ming's envoy stopped snatching it, the Beizhou King's envoy turned to Ning Chen and said, "Uncle Champion, I, the Beizhou Prince's Mansion, are also willing to pay five times the price."
Ning Chen shook his head and said: "This price was offered by Prince Ming first. If the price is only five times the price, I can only choose Prince Ming first."
Watching Ning Chen's performance, the Ming King's envoy really felt that Ning Chen not only had a dark heart, but also that the blood flowing in his veins was black blood full of the smell of copper.
Without any choice, the envoy from the King of Beizhou quoted a price of five and a half times the market price.
Seeing that they didn't dare to double their level, Ning Chen knew that this was probably the limit that the King of Beizhou could achieve.
Although the King of Beizhou is a royal family born and raised in the four northern states.
But they also have a really large family lineage.
It costs money to maintain such a clan.
Especially after Ning Chen's favor order, in order to prevent these relatives who couldn't even reach the eight poles, they proposed to the court to be knighted.
The King of Beizhou gave more money.
This stopped them from submitting a letter.
With more places to spend money, there will naturally be less money available.
Seeing that Ning Chen agreed to his offer, the envoy from the King of Beizhou also asked Ning Chen for half an hour. He needed to explain this matter to the King of Beizhou in detail.
Everything has to wait for the final decision from the King of Beizhou.
Of course Ning Chen doesn't mind. Anyway, if you leave one day late, I'll just charge you one day's storage fee.
After the envoy from King Beizhou went down, Ning Chen smiled and said to the envoy from King Ming: "Sir, I see that you are quick-thinking and witty.
It is very suitable for you to come to our Baijia College for development.
I don’t know if your husband has such a wish.
Among the hundreds of other colleges, I can’t guarantee that it will definitely be the highest in terms of salary.
At the same time, our hundreds of colleges will also provide high commissions.
I guarantee that my husband will make money in our Baijia College, which will be at least twice as much as what you make now."
After hearing Ning Chen's invitation, the messenger from Prince Ming immediately handed over his hand and thanked him: "Thank you, uncle Champion, for your love. However, Prince Ming has been kind to me, and I really can't abandon Prince Ming. I hope Uncle Champion can understand."
"I understand, what's not to understand? It turns out that Taoist Master Yun Xuanzi had a disciple, and she said the same thing.
Then guess what happened?"
Ning Chen deliberately made a mistake here.
Sure enough, the envoy of King Ming fell into the trap after hearing Ning Chen's words: "Uncle Champion, what happened next?"
Ning Chen smiled calmly and said: "Then I used five times his salary in Taoism to ask her to become the academic master of my Baijia College and Yinyang Family."
The envoy from King Ming secretly swallowed when he heard the five times price given by Ning Chen.
If it was really five times, he wouldn't be able to consider teaching at Baijia College.
Just when King Ming's envoy was planning to wait for Ning Chen to make another offer.
I heard Ning Chen say: "Although I succeeded on the Dao Sect side.
But I can see that this gentleman, you are not moved by money.
So I won’t humiliate myself and use money to insult my husband.”
The envoy of King Ming was completely stunned.
Why don't you charge five times the price?
Besides, as a well-educated gentleman, I still have the ability to do things on my own terms.
In the end, King Ming's envoy still didn't wait for Ning Chen's invitation.
This moment made Prince Ming's messenger feel that his psychological gap was so exaggerated.
Although he felt that he should have been tricked by Ning Chen again, he felt vaguely regretful that he had not agreed to Ning Chen's invitation just now.
If you join Baijia Academy first, you might have five times the chance.
It's a pity that all this was missed.
If you miss it, you can only sigh.
In fact, Ning Chen had no intention of inviting him at all, he just asked casually.
Ning Chen would not easily place such a person with unknown origins among Baijia College.
The foundation of Baijia City lies in Baijia College.
Without Baijia College, there would be no Baijia City.
Therefore, hundreds of cities were allowed to be riddled with holes, and all forces gathered together.
But among hundreds of academies, Ning Chen requires it to be clean.
The envoy of King Ming obviously does not belong to the kind of person with a clean financial status.
So it was not Ning Chen's original intention to absorb him.
The envoy of the King of Beizhou didn't leave for long.
The main reason he came here was to tell Ning Chen that the King of Beizhou had agreed to Ning Chen's proposal.
Seeing that the King of Beizhou also surrendered, Ning Chen had nothing to say.
Just wait to receive the money.
Facts proved that Ning Chen's judgment and guess were correct.
As a non-native prince, Prince Ming was still able to squeeze out so much oil and water.
How could the King of Beizhou, who was truly born and raised in the Qi family with deep roots in the four northern states, not be able to make money?
The silver in the hands of these vassal kings is their own moat.
What Ning Chen wants now is the moat in their hands.
After all the discussions were completed and the contract was signed, Ning Chen let the two envoys go down to rest.
However, the envoy of King Ming did not intend to stay here forever. He wanted to pursue his large army.
"I'll give you a piece of advice. Don't delay for too long. Otherwise, it may not be able to be solved five and a half times. The champion uncle is not as easy to talk to as you seem."
