Chapter 845 Face
Buy low and sell high!
The middlemen make a profit from the price difference!
This is a very normal business practice.
She had anticipated this situation from the way Fubao had priced the rice in his own shop. But did she care?
The answer is naturally no.
In Fubao's opinion, you may make a lot of money, but I will never lose money.
For the people of the Xian Qin Dynasty, spiritual rice was a scarce commodity, at least compared to spiritual stones. But for Fu Bao, it was the exact opposite.
Lingmi and Fubao are easy to get, after all, they are grown in the ground, but they require a higher growing environment.
But spiritual stones are something you can only come across by chance.
This is the Xian Qin Dynasty, which is to some extent an enemy of the Han Dynasty.
Therefore, when Bing Si came hurriedly to report, Fu Bao just laughed and said, "Then sell more!"
Price increase?
It is impossible to increase the price.
Her goal is the spirit stone.
If the price is raised too high, how can we attract everyone in the Xian Qin Dynasty?
"Master, but, if we do this, we will be at a disadvantage."
Bing Si's mood changed even more when he heard Fu Bao say this. At this price, the more he sold, the more he lost. That's not how business works.
"It's okay, suffering a loss is a blessing!"
Fubao was not in a hurry at all.
"Bing Si, be generous. It's just a little spiritual rice. It's nothing."
However, the more Fubao said this, the more anxious Bingsi became.
"Master, our price is too low!"
"In business, sometimes the lower the price, the better. Some things have to be sold at a high price, otherwise, sooner or later people will target them."
Bing Si said anxiously, "Master, you must listen to me on this matter."
"Okay, then how do you think the price of this spiritual rice should be set?"
“Double it!”
Seeing that Fubao was willing to listen to him, Bingsi immediately became energetic and said, "First, double the price, and then wait for some time before raising the price again!"
"Okay, you decide!"
Fubao thought about it and decided to listen to the advice and eat his fill.
She didn't care about the price of the spiritual rice; after all, it was easy for her to come by. But Bing Si had a point. If the price was too low, it would disrupt the market. Who knows, it might even make someone unhappy with him.
Of course, Fubao doesn't care about this, nor is he afraid of this.
But harmony brings wealth.
She came here to understand the situation of the Xian Qin Dynasty, and she had to keep a low profile when it was time to do so.
After getting Fubao's permission, Bingsi went back and put up a sign, not only raising the price of spiritual rice, but also limiting the purchase.
Open to supply spiritual rice?
It is absolutely impossible now.
As the price of the spiritual rice shop of Fubao increased, many wealthy families in Xianyang City became restless.
Price increase and sales restrictions, what does this mean?
It means that there is not much spiritual rice left.
"Send more people to buy!"
"purchase!"
"Send everyone over there to buy it!"
Faced with the limited sale of spiritual rice, all families who needed it, including Emperor Zulong, sent a large number of people to queue up to buy it.
Bingsi simply arranged three shifts in the shop. As long as there was no curfew in Xianyang City, the shop would not close, thus opening up the supply in an alternative way.
Of course, this form of open supply only lasted for a few days.
Faced with the surging crowd of buyers, Bingsi wanted to raise the price again.
But this time, Fubao stopped it firmly.
Bingsi wanted to argue, but Fubao didn't agree at all.
Such crazy buying lasted for less than ten days, and the number of people queuing outside Lingmi Shop began to decrease, from the initial long queue to just a few people today.
To put it bluntly, at least 80% of the spiritual stones mined by the Xian Qin Dynasty are in the hands of Fubao.
As for the remaining 20%, most of them are still on the way, while a small portion of spirit stones are in the hands of some people who like to imagine.
You must know that Fubao is known as an immortal in Xianyang City.
The value of spirit stones has not yet been fully developed by the Xian Qin Dynasty. Only some practitioners know that they can use spirit stones to practice, but the development and utilization rate of spirit stones is still not high.
But that's the problem.
If this spiritual stone is useless, then why would Xu Fu, who is known as an immortal, sell a large amount of spiritual rice, which is more valuable to practitioners, just to obtain this spiritual stone which has little practical value?
After all, although the efficiency of absorbing spiritual energy from spirit stones is low, the spiritual energy is extremely pure.
There must be something they don't know.
Marquis Wucheng Wang Jian, Prime Minister Li Si and other important officials of the Xian Qin Dynasty were summoned by Emperor Zulong to inquire about the matter of the spiritual stone.
"Marquis Wucheng, you're close to Xu Fu. Why don't you get even closer?"
As soon as Li Si opened his mouth, he received a murderous look from Wang Jian in response.
"What is the Prime Minister talking about in his sleep?"
"If the Prime Minister knew the magical effect of this spirit stone, would he tell others casually?"
“…”
Li Si rolled his eyes.
He really didn't expect that Wang Jian would humiliate him so directly.
"Marquis Wucheng's words make sense."
Li Si was humiliated by Wang Jian, but he was not angry at all.
At his level, how could he be so easily angered? Not to mention that Wang Jian was telling the truth, even if Wang Jian was throwing dirty water on him for no reason, he would not be angry.
Of course, the reason why Li Si uttered such unreliable words was just to protect himself.
After being criticized by Marquis Wu Cheng, he remained silent for a reason.
Wang Jian was a veteran on the battlefield, and he was a smart man who could retire after achieving success, rather than being abandoned by his master because of his achievements. He was stunned for a moment before realizing that he had been tricked by Li Si again.
Realizing this, Li Si really wanted to hit someone.
Unfortunately, Wang Jian knew that if he really dared to take action, he would be asking for trouble.
"mean!"
Wang Jian glared at Li Si fiercely and also remained silent.
As smart as he was, how could he not fight back after being schemed by Li Si? Of course, this fight back was not to defend himself, but to remain silent.
Emperor Zulong was also a shrewd man, otherwise how could he control all the civil and military elites in the court?
Li Si noticed Wang Jian's reaction, but his face showed no expression in response.
They are all thousand-year-old foxes, and none of them is easy to deal with!
Emperor Zulong sat high on the throne, his eyes sweeping across the faces of the two men one by one, and finally looked at the eldest princess Ying Shu who had been silent all the time.
"Royal sister, what do you think?"
Realizing that Wang Jian and Li Si couldn't be relied upon for the time being, Emperor Zulong simply left them alone. These two old foxes would be schemed against one another someday.
"Your Majesty, I think it would be better to ask directly!"
When the eldest princess spoke, everyone present turned their eyes to look over.
Such a big secret, just ask directly?
Is this reliable?
"Tell me more specifically!"
Emperor Zulong became interested.
The princess smiled slightly and said, "This kind of thing is a great secret. Since the discovery of the spirit stone, our Great Qin has never been able to comprehend its mysteries."
"This Xu Fu is an immortal, and his magical powers are extraordinary."
"The formation he set up outside the city and the fields alone is enough to show how powerful he is."
"However, if we want this immortal to reveal such a secret, our Great Qin must show our utmost sincerity."
"I think that Your Majesty should personally take action!"
Having said this, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became a little strange.
Is it an exaggeration or justified to ask Emperor Zulong to personally take action just to figure out how to use this spirit stone?
At least at this moment, no one knows.
But everyone knew that after the Grand Princess said this, the matter fell entirely on the shoulders of Emperor Zulong.
For the others, unless there is a perfect solution, it is best not to say anything. Otherwise, if you bring trouble upon yourself, it will be like hanging yourself.
In the Qin Dynasty, the immortals were high and mighty and were the best of all people.
This was something that Emperor Zulong himself came up with.
Now, Princess Ying Shu's suggestion was not looking for trouble. Of course, it was not shirking responsibility, after all, it was the emperor who had provoked this matter.
Furthermore, the one who longed for immortality the most was the emperor himself.
If you want to live forever, then you can't rely on others for all things.
"What do you think of what the Princess said?"
Emperor Zulong did not express his opinion, but asked questions to the civil and military officials present again.
This question will definitely not be answered by anyone.
After all, if you agree with the princess, you might upset the emperor. But if you don't agree with the princess, you have to have your own opinion.
But that's the problem. They don't have an answer to this question.
He is an immortal, and an immortal who has a large amount of spiritual rice. He is also a true master who is proficient in various immortal techniques and formations.
Such an immortal must have real abilities.
Perhaps, they really hold the secret of immortality. If you offend such an immortal, no one will speak up for you if you are targeted in the future.
"Don't you all have anything to say?"
Seeing that everyone present was silent, Emperor Zulong was obviously unhappy.
Zhao Gao, the Minister of the Imperial Chariots, wanted to say something, but when he saw the expressions of Li Si and others, he backed off.
However, Zhao Gao knew that this was a great opportunity to show off.
"Your Majesty, I think what the princess said is inappropriate!"
Finally, after weighing the pros and cons, Zhao Gao decided to jump out.
It has been said since ancient times that wealth and honor are achieved through risk.
How can you want benefits without paying any price?
As the old saying goes, you can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a kid.
"Tell me!"
Seeing that someone was finally willing to stand up and speak, Emperor Zulong's expression finally looked better.
"Your Majesty is the Supreme Being of our Great Qin, the supreme being."
"Even if Xu Fu is an immortal, he is just an ordinary citizen of our Great Qin!"
"I think that even if Your Majesty wants to know something, you should summon Xu Fu instead of meeting him in person."
"He doesn't have the face to do that!"
What Zhao Gao said definitely hit the nail on the head.
Emperor Zulong was very pleased after hearing his words.
