Now the initiative of the transaction was completely in Zhang Mu's hands. No. 35 cooperated very well and started the transaction process. His fiery red robe began to tremble, and he seemed to be burning, letting the red flame fill the entire space.
Merchants in each era have their own unique trading methods, but the processes are basically the same.
Zhang Mu looked calmly at No. 35 being surrounded by bunches of small flames, like a king of fire being worshipped by thousands of fires.
"Ahem, number 35, can we start now?"
After waiting for a while, Zhang Mu touched his nose helplessly, interrupting No. 35's continued gorgeous control of the situation.
Number 35 lost his balance and the flames around him swayed. He looked at Zhang Mu with a frown and an angry expression. He originally felt that it was wrong that the rhythm of the transaction was controlled by Zhang Mu. Now he wanted to shock and intimidate Zhang Mu, but was blocked by Zhang Mu's slow words, just like a steamed bun that was choked in his throat before he could swallow it.
"Okay, I'm too lazy to talk to you, just watch it yourself."
It seemed that he was very impatient with Zhang Mu. Thirty-Five tried to cover up his previous mistake. Clusters of flames embraced each other and burned into a fire net. He summoned a transaction list and gave it to Zhang Mu to browse.
You should have been so quick earlier. Why were you so slow just now? Who wants to see you showing off?
Of course, Zhang Mu didn't dare to say this out loud. He could see that No. 35 had become extremely impatient, and he didn't want to offend No. 35 out of boredom.
Moreover, Zhang Mu had a small plan in mind, but he didn't know whether it could be realized. He had never tried it before, but this time it was completely different from his current identity.
Number 35's somewhat irritable voice rang in Zhang Mu's ears, interrupting his meditation.
"As usual, we will trade goods from the Epochal region first and complete the mission."
"Give me your Luoyang peony buds and I will exchange them for gold leaves first."
Zhang Mu responded decisively and opened his Epoch Merchant Ring. Inside the Epoch Store, the golden light shield door opened automatically, and eight bunches of Luoyang peony buds, which maintained exactly the same posture as ten days ago, flew out and flew in front of No. 35.
There was a hint of joy on his face, but No. 35, who was about to start the transaction, immediately became cold and serious. He looked at Zhang Mu and said, "Luoyang Peony Core, the purchase price of No. 35 Xi'an City Jiyuan Store is... three gold leaves."
Even Zhang Mu, who already knew the prices in Xi'an, swallowed his saliva. For ordinary merchants, the interest rate was 200%, and Zhang Mu had bought the goods at half price. Now Zhang Mu had eight Luoyang peony buds in his hand!
It can be exchanged for twenty-four gold leaves!
You should know that Zhang Mu's current apprentice merchant mission only requires ten gold leaves to complete. Zhang Mu in the future went back and forth twice before he could barely meet the mission requirements, but now
It turned out that just one transaction caused the task amount to exceed by 2.4 times.
Moreover, this is not the end. Zhang Mu is going to buy another batch of goods here. Then, he can take advantage of the profit method of not losing money in the first month of the apocalypse and resell them, which will bring another big boom.
"How about a deal?"
Zhang Mu, who had just woken up from a dream, nodded repeatedly, "Trade, all trades!"
It’s not Zhang Mu’s fault. Right now, the extra gold leaves are enough to exchange for many special ability-enhancing goods from the Epoch Merchants that can only be exchanged for gold leaves.
After getting Zhang Mu's consent, No. 35 waved his sleeves and collected all eight bunches of Luoyang peony buds into his own space. He said, "You now have 24 gold leaves. Now let me show you the list of goods in the Epoch Region of Xi'an City."
"now!"
Upon hearing the order from No. 35, the fire net changed and a list of goods from the Epoch Region of the Epoch Store branch in Xi'an City appeared.
Almost at the same second, a flame emanated from the fire net and flew in front of Zhang Mu, illuminating his entire body. Zhang Mu did not make a fuss and let it scan him.
A second later, the scan was completed, and a series of cold mechanical sounds sounded one after another.
"Drip! Drop! Drop!"
"Merchant authority identification: No. 001, trainee merchant."
"Transaction time: the tenth day of the Bliss Era."
"Offer: Merchant No. 001 enjoys 20% discount; other discounts, no. Total discounts add up to 20% discount."
"The prices of the goods within the authorized range have been automatically generated."
Zhang Mu looked at the prices of the goods in front of him, which were so cheap that they couldn't be any cheaper, and his saliva was about to drip onto the ground.
"Oil tea, one unit is worth half a gold leaf, remaining quantity: fifteen units."
"Pao Mo, one unit for half a gold leaf, remaining quantity: nine units."
"White jade donkey statue, two four-cent gold leaves per unit, four units remaining."
This was already the price after Zhang Mu’s discount. If other ordinary merchants came to buy it, basically after buying a white jade donkey statue, they would not be able to afford any other goods.
It seems that the second-ranked merchant in Xi'an City did not choose to buy the white jade donkey statue. Only Liu Shuo bought one, and it is now lying quietly in Zhang Mu's merchant ring.
No. 35 was still heartbroken, thinking that all the goods here would be bought up by Zhang Mu this time, but Zhang Mu's next words made him doubt whether he had heard it wrong.
"Number 35, you have too few goods here. How about this? Send me six more white jade donkey statues and I will buy them all."
Zhang Mu actually asked the merchants of Jiyuan to replenish the stock, which no one in later generations had ever succeeded in doing. If there was no stock, there was no stock. Those who missed the chance had to either go back home or wait for the monthly stock update.
But Zhang Mu really did that.
In fact, he was just
Experiment, if it succeeds he will get rich.
Just when No. 35 was about to start cursing, Zhang Mu spoke before No. 35 did, "My current gold leaves are enough to buy all the goods from the Epoch Region. No. 009 is already dead. You want the four agents behind you to go out on their first mission without any goods? Then you will suffer a huge loss."
Zhang Mu's words made No. 35 fall into deep thought. Indeed, if Zhang Mu bought all the goods, he would not have to issue tasks to his agents. Moreover, due to the rules, he could not give any preferential treatment to his agents. In this way, the four who came in later would completely lose at the starting line.
But for Zhang Mu, who is numbered 001 and it is the early stage of a new era, he can use some of his authority to replenish his stock. Although he will suffer a small loss, it is better than losing all his four agents.
However, looking at Zhang Mu's earnest face, No. 35 felt as if he was being led by the nose.
This feeling is very unpleasant.
And most importantly, Zhang Mu was not his No. 35 man. He was going to help Zhang Mu, and now the biggest beneficiary was the stuffy man No. 37.
He first asked Zhang Mu in confusion, "Why did you only take a fancy to the white jade donkey statue and not even look at the others? Could it be that you can predict the price of the goods?"
Zhang Mu naturally had a way to deal with it. He calmly replied, "If I can accurately predict the price trend of goods, then why do I need you, the merchants of Jiyuan? It's just that I have a strong gambler mentality. Every time I make a move, I either don't make a move or I buy all of the same kind. I like this exciting feeling. I don't need to share the risk.
You saw that when I was in Luoyang City, I chose eight bunches of Luoyang peony buds, and I gave up the Yellow River carp without even a second thought. "
After thinking for a while, I felt that this was the only possibility. Then I have to say that Zhang Mu's luck is really good. However, this is also the reason why he can become the first-ranked Epoch Merchant in the 37th Test Site.
Thirty-five's expression finally stabilized, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I'll make up the white jade donkey statue for you."
Under the gnashing gaze of No. 35, the remaining number of white jade donkey statues on the Firenet list jumped to ten and stopped.
It was actually made up!
Under Zhang Mu's calm surface, his heart was surging with excitement. What no businessman in later generations could do, he actually did!
"No. 001, purchase ten white jade donkey statues, costing twenty-four gold leaves."
At the same time as the cold mechanical voice sounded, the golden leaf that had just arrived in Zhang Mu's hand and had not yet been warmed up instantly disappeared in front of Zhang Mu.
But Zhang Mu no longer cared. Looking at the eleven white jade donkey statues lying quietly in his Epoch Merchant Ring, Zhang Mu laughed wildly in his heart.
Get rich overnight!
