This move of the Caravan Alliance caused eight hundred casualties among themselves and one thousand injuries to the enemy, but it was enough to ensure that the wavering ones among the Eight War Riders would not have any other thoughts. However, if this continued in the long run, what profit would they have? Without the huge amount of Yuan Crystals and Beast Cores as a foundation, the second-level evolvers in the Caravan Alliance would not advance so quickly.
What on earth is going on in their minds?
Thinking about the purpose of the caravan alliance, a guess that was very close to the truth suddenly flashed through Zhang Mu's mind.
If the Eight War Riders were really devoured, then the remaining lone second-level evolvers would no longer exist. At that time, the entire city of Hohhot would belong to them. Wouldn't the monetary system and financial order be decided by them?
Not only did his arrival fail to break the impasse, but it made the Eight War Riders, who were already wavering, consider completely leaving. If the Caravan Alliance could offer such a low price, they could quickly be promoted to the third level. The growth of their own strength had already made them dependent on the resources provided by the Caravan Alliance.
The silent Zhang Mu now realized that he had been tricked. He and the Eight Warriors were all chess pieces in the hands of the person who planned this. In a sense, Zhang Mu had been used by him.
Zhang Yi would not fail to see what the Caravan Alliance was planning, but like Zhang Mu, he could not find a way out of the impasse, so he could only go with the flow. It might have something to do with his own personality. He was unwilling to fight for fame and fortune, so he had the Eight War Riders. Otherwise, he could have forced the unification as early as when the capital of Hohhot was unified.
When he had just unified the capital of Hohhot, Zhang Yi's prestige was at its peak, but he chose to build eight war cavalry units and divide his power equally to ensure that each of the original brothers could capture a branch city of his own.
However, he overestimated his control, overestimated the loyalty between brothers, overestimated the temptation brought about by being blinded by profit, and overestimated the endless greed of human beings once they have tasted the sweetness.
The sudden emergence of the Caravan Alliance gave some ideas to several people who had already been active in their minds, which led to the emergence of the Capital Competition. Zhang Yi didn't want to care at first, as they were brothers who had fought together with their lives. It has dragged on until now, to the point where he can no longer care. The identity of an Epoch Merchant is really too extraordinary. Mastering enough resources can make one's strength far ahead of normal people, and the excess resources can be used to win people's hearts.
Everyone is
After waiting for Zhang Mu's answer, Zhang Mu slowly said, "I had not expected this to happen. As you can see, although the starting price is 20% to 30% of the original price, it is precisely because of this that the final auction price is basically more than 50% of the previous price.
Then how about using 30% of the normal price of the crystals you lent to Zhang Mu to pay for the goods?"
The sound of auctions continued in his ears, and Zhang Mu did not miss a single word of the auctioneer on the first floor. He then calculated the actual prices of most common goods in the era and came up with this solution.
Bala, Xiao Nan and others acquiesced, while Su Rui, Huang Yan and others watched the show continue. However, Zhang Yi did not look happy at all because Zhang Mu offered a discount on the price.
On the contrary, what Zhang Mu did just proved that the prices of these Era General Goods put on the auction were really low. In this way, the Caravan Alliance was not deliberately lowering the price to target Zhang Mu and boycotting Zhang Mu at a loss.
But the real price is just like this, even lower than 20% to 30% off.
If the Caravan Alliance can sell Era Universal Goods at this price in the future, the Eight War Riders will really be finished.
When Zhang Mu handed over most of the goods stored in the Jiyuan merchant's ring to everyone, the auction came to an end.
It was true that they were all Epoch General Goods, but not a single Epoch agent showed up from beginning to end.
Zhang Mu did have an idea to solve the current problem, but the whole thing was still very complicated, and there were still many things that had not surfaced, but he could only take it one step at a time.
"Mr. Zhang Mu, I think the cooperation between you and our Eight War Riders has come to an end."
Xiao Nan placed his sword on the Eight Immortals Table and confronted Zhang Mu.
Zhang Mu looked in Xiao Nan's direction and said with a smile, "I don't know why City Lord Xiao Nan would think this way."
"Do I need to clarify this with you?"
Zhang Mu smiled without saying anything, motioning for him to continue.
Xiao Nan stood up and looked at the auction that was about to end. He said, "The Caravan Alliance has given up most of its profits. As you can see, all the common goods of the Era have been reduced in price. Although the appearance of you, the great merchant Zhang Mu, has indeed brought us benefits and broken the monopoly of the Caravan Alliance, when their profits are extremely low, you are also
It loses its value.
But if you join the Caravan Alliance, we can continue to cooperate."
Zhang Mu watched Xiao Nan speak at length, but did not interrupt him.
Xiao Nan was speaking fluently, but he suddenly realized that Zhang Mu didn't have any anger or other negative emotions at all. He just kept looking at him with a smile, as if waiting for you to finish. He stopped immediately.
"Why, Mr. Zhang Mu, the great businessman, do you have anything to say?"
"No, no, I'm just waiting for City Lord Xiao Nan to finish speaking."
Xiao Nan looked at Zhang Mu unkindly. His smile made Xiao Nan feel a chill. He instantly lost interest in talking and asked directly, "So, what exactly did the great businessman Zhang Mu decide?"
"City Lord Xiao Nan has finished speaking?"
Zhang Mu spread his hands and stood up. He did not look at Xiao Nan, but glanced at all the cavalry leaders present on the third floor, smiled indifferently, and spoke slowly.
"Zhang Mu will explain to you. You cavalry leaders may have forgotten one thing. That is, although the auction was held as usual, Zhang Mu actually did what he promised.
What Zhang Mu promised everyone at that time was that he would buy all the Epoch General Goods in this auction in one fell swoop, so that this Epoch Auction could not be held as usual.
Although this Epoch Auction was successfully held in the end, and the starting price was adjusted to such a low level, the War Cavalry leaders should not forget that the goods they auctioned were all stocks stored in the past few months. "
Everyone's eyes were fixed on Zhang Mu. Zhang Mu spoke slowly but caused an uproar in everyone's hearts.
"They can use the inventory this month, and they can also use it next month. What about the month after that? What about the months after that? Are the Caravan Alliance's Era Universal Goods inexhaustible?"
Even someone as calm as Zhang Yi, whose peaceful gaze was disturbed by Zhang Mu's words.
"Brother Zhang Mu, do you mean that you can monopolize the Caravan Alliance's resources?"
Zhang Mu nodded gently, sounding arrogant, but his tone was extremely calm.
"As long as you give me enough Yuanjing, they won't be able to take even a grain of rice from the Jiyuan Store."
