Four players, including Waihuhun, Man-made Lake, a String of Numbers and Elf King Fugui, were standing at the gate of Zhang's Timber Factory, dragging two carts of wood.
The expression is not very good.
"Masters, I'm not trying to bargain you down... Even if I had ten times the courage, I wouldn't dare to bargain you down. I simply can't eat this much wood!"
Boss Zhang had a sad face and felt extremely aggrieved.
"Two cars for ten taels, isn't this too outrageous?" The price was too far from what he had expected, and it was hard to accept the string of numbers. He didn't care about his favorability and asked directly.
"The last time the immortal masters brought in some high-quality mahogany, they made it into furniture and decorations, which the master wanted. This time, the car is made of raw wood, which is not bad, but..." Boss Zhang hesitated as he spoke, and it was unclear what he said next.
"Please explain it clearly." A string of numbers continued to ask.
Boss Zhang wanted to continue playing it safe, but he still took the identities of the men in green into consideration, so he said honestly, "A lot of people have been selling wood lately. With more wood available, the price has naturally dropped. Besides... the caravan from Dongxing City will be arriving in a few days, and everyone wants to keep some money aside to purchase goods."
A string of numbers was about to say something, but was suddenly pulled back by Wang Fugui.
The three looked at Wang Fugui, only to see that his expression was unusual. Just as they were about to ask him something, Wang Fugui pulled them aside and whispered, "Brothers, look what we heard!!"
"ha?"
"Caravan!!" Wang Fugui seemed a little excited. "Caravan! Another way to play! Maybe there's a hidden plot! We should be the first to know! What does this mean?"
"……What?"
"Business opportunity! Hurry up and stock up on funds, they might come in handy later!"
"Okay, Boss Zhang, we've discussed it and decided that ten taels is fine. Let's settle it in cash!" Wang Fugui shook off the hands of several people who were trying to stop him and said to Boss Zhang.
Boss Zhang was stunned and hesitated, but he turned around and went into the house to get the silver.
"Don't rush to attack me!" Wang Fugui took a few steps to the side, avoiding the attack of the three people, and explained, "This game's economic system is quite good. Prices are changing dynamically. There will definitely be more and more people selling wood. It's better for us to get rid of it as soon as possible."
"So, what do you think?"
"Look for other business opportunities. If that doesn't work, trade with other players and convert contribution points into cash."
"Wang Fugui, calm down. The caravan the NPC mentioned might just be an ordinary caravan for mortals to trade supplies. What if it doesn't have anything related to cultivation? Wouldn't it be a huge loss?" Artificial Lake advised.
"It's highly likely." Waijia Hun said, "I remember that the caravans always had monks accompanying them for protection, otherwise they would have overturned in the wild. With monks, there will naturally be trade in cultivation items."
“It seems to be true?”
Several people reached a consensus for the time being.
The cash that Boss Zhang took out was only a little over nine taels.
According to him, too much wood was collected in the past few days and piled up in the factory. He has not received the payment yet, so his finances are tight. He hopes that the immortal masters can give him some more concessions.
The sincerity of the emotions amazed the four of them. These NPC passersby acted like characters in a story-based narrative game like "Detroit, Become Human".
It's just a few coins, so just give it up.
Boss Zhang sighed as he watched the people leave.
This immortal master is easier to deceive than I imagined.
It is true that more and more people are sending wood as gifts recently, and the price is indeed not that expensive.
However, in Bei'an City, there has always been a big shortage of wood for construction, and it is far from being saturated.
Second, Boss Zhang’s liquidity must be more than this.
Doing so is simply taking advantage of one's weak position to gain benefits from those in a higher position.
After all, little by little, a tower can be built.
Businessmen are very sensitive to the amount of money.
Furthermore, word was circulating in the city that the bandits in the western mountains had been wiped out.
In other words, ordinary people like them can also go into the mountains to chop wood!
Although it is a bit troublesome to transport, it also requires a lot of manpower.
But you can hire a strong laborer for at most three taels of silver a month.
In terms of conversion, it is definitely more cost-effective than purchasing wood from the immortal masters.
Doing business and making money is not shameful.
City Lord's Mansion, study.
Wang Fu leaned back in his chair, looking somewhat worried.
"City Lord Wang, are you looking for me?"
Liu He stood at the door and knocked on the open door.
Wang Fu quickly stood up and said, "Mr. Liu, please take a seat."
"You're welcome. We're both working for Sect Master Lu, so we can just talk."
"There is a difference between immortals and mortals, there is a difference between immortals and mortals."
Wang Fu and Liu He poured tea and continued to exchange pleasantries.
The relationship between the two is still very good, but the necessary etiquette is still not lacking.
"Mr. Liu, you should know that the caravan from Dongxing City is about to arrive, right? I just lost over a hundred soldiers here, and I'm afraid that by then..."
"What are you afraid of? With Sect Master Lu and Elder Cheng protecting you, just talk freely!" Liu He seemed very relaxed.
Wang Fu remembered that every year when foreign merchant caravans came into the city, Liu He was still as bad as him.
"Will Sect Master Lu take care of our mundane affairs?"
"With the emergence of the Cangxia Sect, Bei'an City is the most important face. How can we ignore it?"
After hearing what Liu He said, Wang Fu seemed to feel a little relieved.
Although Chaoyun Prefecture had suffered a great disaster, some cities still remained.
The former dynasties and sects collapsed, and these human settlements lost their rule and became independent.
