……
The Black Iron Market in Fairy City is going crazy.
The dignified Xuanjiasi was exposed as a fraud, and actually teamed up with Dongqian to engage in short selling, using false news to suppress the price of Xuantie ingots, and they even took away 100,000 sets of Xuantie ingots.
Countless aristocratic families and merchants who “sold” Xuan Iron Ingots at low prices cursed Xuanjia Division, especially Zhao Xiqing, the director of Xuanjia Division, and King Zhennan, the head of the Immortal Weapon Department, who were secretly targeted by countless people. A jab in the spine.
If scolding could kill someone, Zhao Xiqing and King Zhennan would have died countless times.
Under this trend, the price of black iron ingots, which was already at a high level, skyrocketed again, and soon exceeded one thousand one, one thousand two, and went straight to one thousand three.
At the same time.
In the head office of Wei’s Commercial Bank in Xiancheng, a group of Wei’s core members are having a meeting.
A certain elder flipped through the account books with a confused look on his face: “Everyone, something seems to be wrong with the situation. It stands to reason that at this price, many small and medium-sized aristocratic families that still have inventory will be ‘reluctant to sell’ and will not sell easily. Why? Will a black iron ingot appear on the market from time to time?”
“Perhaps… we have underestimated the inventory of black iron ingots in the hands of small and medium-sized aristocratic families due to the long-term rise of black iron ingots in recent years?” Another elder analyzed and said, “Since yesterday, there have been There are no new black iron ingots, they should all be squeezed out.”
“Don’t worry, everyone, the Xuanjia Division of the Immortal Weapon Department can’t hold it anymore.” Wei Mingyu said nonchalantly, “Just this morning, His Highness the King of Zhennan has sent a message, saying that he wants to have a good talk with our Wei family. Let’s talk.”
“Mingyu, how many black iron ingots do we have in our accounts now?” Patriarch Wei Deming frowned, with a vague premonition in his heart.
“It should be four to five million, right?” Wei Mingyu said, “I have been directing the hype and acquisition war these days, and I didn’t pay attention to the total number.”
A certain great elder immediately opened the account book, quickly counted it, and then his face changed slightly: “We have a total of more than 610,000 black iron ingots in stock!”
“So much? It is far more than the needs of Xuanjia Division.” Wei Mingyu was startled, but he quickly calmed down and said, “Don’t panic. Now most of the Xuanjia inventory in the entire Immortal Dynasty It should all be in our hands.”
“As long as our Wei and Han families join forces and do not dig black iron ore, they will not be able to dig out so much output even if we give them hundreds of years. Under such a monopolistic supply and demand relationship, wouldn’t the price of black iron ingots be what we say? The final word?”
“What’s more, Xuanjia Division currently only has more than 100,000 Xuantie ingots in hand, and the shortfall is only 200,000. We will sell 400,000 sets at a time, and we will not sell any less, Xuanjia Even if the company is not willing, he can only buy it. In any case, we have made a lot of money this time.”
Following Wei Mingyu’s explanation, the elders were convinced, and their expressions all became happy.
The Wei family has made so much Immortal Crystal this time, each family can strive to cultivate a few more geniuses.
In the next few years, Wei’s will probably usher in a huge, leap-forward development.
It was also at this time.
The goalkeeper came to report: “Ancestor Deming, King Zhennan has come to pay his respects.”
Wei Deming perked up and smiled heartily: “Mingyu, you are indeed right as expected. This time, let’s go together to welcome His Highness the King of Zhennan.”
In the square outside the main gate of the Wei family, the luxurious flying chariot belonging to the King of Zhennan has stopped.
It wasn’t until the people from the Wei family came up to greet him. The King of Zhennan, who was dressed in royal robes and looked majestic, slowly got off the chariot.
Following closely behind is Zhao Xiqing, the director of Xuanjia Division.
She was still wearing the light blue dress, with a calm expression and extraordinary bearing. Even when she was standing next to King Zhennan in the Lingxu realm, she did not look too weak.
Although there are indispensable overt and covert fights between aristocratic families, a set of pretentious etiquette is still indispensable.
Soon, Patriarch Wei Deming, Wei Mingyu and other core figures of the Wei family enthusiastically welcomed the two of them into the VIP hall of the head office of Wei’s Commercial Bank.
After some polite greetings, everyone sat down according to their status, and those who should stand stood. Then they were treated to some spiritual tea and spiritual fruits.
After several cups of tea.
The topic has just begun to enter the topic.
“Your Highness’s visit to our Wei’s Trading Company this time should be for the Black Iron Ingot, right?” Wei Deming respectfully raised his hands and said, “But Ming Yu of our Wei’s is responsible for this matter, so we should let Ming Yu come. Let’s talk about it.”
“Excuse me.” King Zhennan drank tea calmly, as if his mood could not be discerned.
“Ancestor, His Highness the King of Zhennan.” Wei Mingyu completed the junior ceremony and talked confidently, “Our Wei family has indeed accumulated some black iron ingots over the past hundreds of years, but Because of this, we have been living in a tight situation. Alas, there are too many people in our family, and the annual expenditure on fairy crystals is a bottomless pit. We are so poor that we often have to pay off debts to live.”
The King of Zhennan didn’t take it seriously, and even extended his hand to Wei Mingyu to ask him to continue, as if to say, “Please continue your performance.”
This is a trick he learned from Wang Fugui, and he feels particularly comfortable using it at this time.
“His Highness also said before that this black iron ingot will be used to make 300,000 black armors, and also to support the human race’s battlefields outside the territory.” Wei Mingyu said with a righteous look, “We, the Wei family As a member of the Immortal Dynasty, we should make our due contributions to the Immortal Dynasty. Therefore, we decided to supply the Xuanjia Division with 400,000 sets of Xuanjia Xuan Iron ingots at a loss, at a price of one hundred immortal crystals lower than the market price.”
Now the market price of black iron ingots has skyrocketed to one thousand three hundred and fifty immortal crystals, but there is no market for it, and the trading volume is very little.
“One thousand two hundred and fifty fairy crystals? A total of 500 million fairy crystals?” King Zhennan squinted and said, “The price is not expensive. Aren’t you going to lose a full 40 million fairy crystals?”
“That’s right, that’s what our Wei family should do.” Wei Mingyu felt happy, “I know His Highness is in urgent need of it, and we can sign the contract today. The market conditions are going up now. If it’s not guaranteed, it will go up.”
“Haha, I never said that I wanted to buy black iron ingots.” King Zhennan glanced at him and said with a smile.
“This?” Wei Mingyu’s eyelids suddenly twitched, and a bad premonition arose spontaneously, “Then, Your Highness, are you here this time?”
“Oh, I almost forgot to say it.” King Zhennan slapped his forehead and said suddenly as if he just remembered, “I have been busy recently, look at my memory. Xiqing, take out the things and give them to Mingyu and Ancestor Deming passed by.”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
Zhao Xiqing bowed in response, then touched the ring with her slender hand, and a new set of Wang’s ninth-generation modular battle armor appeared in her hand, and she handed it to Patriarch Wei Deming respectfully.
Wei Deming and Wei Mingyu both looked confused.
What’s going on? Why would King Zhennan give them a suit of armor if he had nothing to do?
“Ahem, the situation is like this.” King Zhennan pretended to cough twice, “Since there are fewer and fewer black iron ingots on the market in recent years, resources are becoming increasingly depleted, so our Immortal Weapon Department commissioned Donggan Kingdom has developed a new type of armor. The material of this new type of armor is only 30% of the old version of Xuanjia, but its overall performance is even better than that of Xuanjia.”
After the words fell, the faces of everyone in the Wei family gradually became stiff and ugly, especially Wei Mingyu, whose body began to tremble, with disbelief in his eyes.
The more he saw them acting like this, the stronger the feeling of joy in King Zhennan’s heart became.
Originally, he didn’t need to come in person to do this, but he decided to go there in person. Didn’t he just want to see the ruined faces of Wei’s bunch of bastards?
“What do you mean by this, Your Highness?” Wei Deming’s heart was pounding and he asked in a low voice.
“That’s right. Your Wei’s Trading Company is one of the major trading houses in the Immortal Dynasty, and its business is spread all over the states of the Immortal Dynasty.” King Zhennan said seriously, “We have a lot of new armors, and we will have to rely on them by then. Various commercial banks are promoting it across the state, and some clan soldiers within the aristocratic families also need it.”
“Your Majesty, Your Majesty.” Wei Mingyu’s face turned pale, his whole body was trembling, and his heart felt like it was falling into an ice cave. “You, you don’t want your black iron ingot?”
“We have enough black iron ingots, why do we need to collect more? Although everyone is responsible for saving black iron resources, we can start from our Immortal Weapon Department.” King Zhennan stood up and patted Wei Mingyu on the shoulder with a smile. “My nephew Ming Yu, where are your black iron ingots? Just keep them and sell them slowly. Don’t be in a hurry. Don’t be in a hurry. I will take my leave now. Alas, I still have to make a few more trips to major merchants and aristocratic families to sell them. Promote our new armor.”
After saying that, King Zhennan left Wei’s Trading Company without looking back, leaving everyone in the Wei family frozen in place with ugly expressions.
Soon, at the entrance of Wei’s Trading Company, the luxurious flying chariot belonging to King Zhennan took to the sky again.
It was only then that King Zhennan finally laughed heartily.
Cool!
Xia Yang, the queen of Zhennan, has never felt so happy in her life.
Wei’s He Zong Lian Heng has been constantly raising the price of black iron ingots, which has made King Zhennan unhappy with them for two or three hundred years.
Today made him feel proud~
Zhao Xiqing watched as the corner of her mouth twitched. She endured it again and again, but finally couldn’t help admonishing her: “Your Highness, please be more restrained.”
“Restraint, I really want to restrain myself.” Zhennan Wang Shuang’s bones went numb and he continued to laugh, “But when I think of Wei’s such a depressed face, I can’t help but want to laugh. This battle was really exciting.”
“Speaking of which, it’s all the credit of that boy Fugui.” King Zhennan laughed, praised and lamented, “It’s a pity that our Zhennan Prince’s generation didn’t have a princess, otherwise~~sigh~~”
Although there are many outstanding girls among the younger generation of the Zhennan Palace, they are far behind compared with Yu Mengyu. This makes Zhennan Prince’s plan to compete with the Northern Territory Palace to compete for his son-in-law a direct result. Dead in the belly.
“Your Highness, our family is indeed rich and outstanding, but in addition to wealth and honor, the Wang family in Dongqian Changning has countless outstanding children.” Zhao Xiqing was moved in her heart and admonished, “According to the observations of my subordinates, in the future our Dongqian and Changning families will The Wang family will enter a stage of take-off. Since His Highness is determined, it is better to take advantage of them before they take off…”
It makes sense.
King Zhennan’s eyes lit up and he pondered: “After this time, I can go to Donggan Kingdom in person to see it.”
If he really meets a good prospect, he will decide on the person first before saying anything.
While the two were talking, they flew to another trading house and continued to “promote” Wang’s ninth-generation modular new armor.
With King Zhennan’s actions, news of the new armor also exploded “in an instant” within the fairy city.
Only 30% of black iron can be used to create a battle armor with superior performance. What this means is not something that any wealthy family with brains can’t figure out.
Soon, the major trading houses and the aristocratic families that had obtained the new armor were conducting all-round tests on the new armor in private.
The test results found that although the overall cost of this new type of armor is high, if the production volume explodes, it can indeed significantly reduce the cost, especially its significant reduction in the consumption of black iron ingots, which will greatly reduce the cost of black armor. Si’s dependence on black iron ingots.
And this also means that from now on, black iron ingots will no longer be able to be sold as long as they are dug out.
In addition, secretly, another “conclusive news” began to circulate in Fairy City. According to an insider secretly revealed, the Jingan Wei family has more than 600,000 units of black iron ingots in their hands!
Far exceeded Xuanjiasi’s demand!
The relationship between supply and demand has been completely reversed.
For a time, the aristocratic families who were still in a wait-and-see mode and had Black Iron ingots that they didn’t want to sell could no longer sit still. They began to sell the Black Iron ingots in their hands, hoping to sell them quickly while the price of Black Iron ingots was still high. Drop it so it doesn’t fall into your hands.
However, everyone wants to sell, but no one wants to buy. In order to promote transactions, major aristocratic families can only choose to lower prices.
The most direct result was that the price of black iron ingots, which had risen to the extreme, began to collapse in just half a day, and the price began to plummet. First, it plummeted from 1,300 immortal crystals to 600, but 600 was simply not enough. Unable to hold on, it quickly plummeted to four hundred, three hundred and five…
Wei’s family was caught off guard and dumbfounded.
Before they had time to sell, the price of black iron ingots fell below the bottom line at lightning speed.
Six hundred thousand units account for most of the inventory in the Immortal Dynasty market. Once sold, no one can tell how low the price will fall.
The senior executives of the Wei family were immediately furious. They immediately rushed back to the main residence in Jing’an Prefecture through the night and held a high-level family meeting.
【True Yanju】.
Wei Dongyu, the first ancestor of the Wei family who had experienced countless ups and downs in his life, was greatly shocked when he learned what had happened.
Affected by old wounds and new worries, his face turned gray and miserable: “Mingyu, how much did our Wei family spend this time?”
Wei Mingyu also had a pale face. He took the account book and reported the accounts to the head of the family, Wei Wentao, and the elders: “Our Wei family originally had a stock of 250,000 units of black iron ingots. Later, we purchased 150,000 units from the Helan Han family. 700 million immortal crystals. In this acquisition war, we successively acquired 210,000 units at a cost of 220 million immortal crystals.”
“Now we have a total of 610,000 units of black iron ingots in hand. A total of 390 million immortal crystals were invested in this campaign, of which 50 million immortal crystals are the working capital of our Wei family, and the remaining 350 million The fairy crystals are all mortgaged and borrowed from various trading houses and banks.”
Wei Dongyu’s body swayed, and a mouthful of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.
Three hundred and ninety million~~ It’s not just gold coins, but three hundred and ninety million fairy crystals!
The most frightening thing is that the price of black iron ingots has now dropped to close to 300 immortal crystals. Even if all the stocks are sold, 1.8 or 1.9 billion immortal crystals can be recovered. This wave of blood loss.
Furthermore, with such a huge inventory hitting the market, prices are bound to plummet again.
Realizing this, the expressions on everyone’s faces were extremely ugly.
At this time, even Wei Qingyun had no time to blame Wei Mingyu. He looked anxious and said: “Elders, this time our Wei family has obviously fallen into a trap. This 600,000 inventory must not be sold. As long as it is kept In hand, when this storm passes and everything calms down, the price of black iron ingots will probably rise a bit, and we can spend hundreds of years to gradually sell it.”
“Yes, although the new armor jointly developed by Xuanjia Division and Donggan saves black iron, it does not use black iron.” Wei Deming also nodded, “As long as our Wei family and the Helan Han family join forces, Feng If we use the existing black iron ore veins, the price will eventually rise gradually.”
Having said that, everyone in the Wei family knows that the era of huge profits from black iron ingots has come to an end. Now this plan is to turn Wei’s blood loss into a normal loss.
The Wei family has a great cause and is confident that it can handle it.
“That’s the case.” Patriarch Wei Dongyu said solemnly, “Then we will plan the aftermath accordingly. Deming and I will go to Lingxujing to talk to each bank and delay the repayment. Deadline. In the next few hundred years, our Wei family will enter the stage of ‘frugaling food and clothing’.”
The Wei family has been inherited for more than 10,000 years, so naturally it cannot always be smooth sailing. Riding the wind and waves when they are prosperous, and retreating to defend themselves when they are defeated are common strategies used by major families. Moreover, the Wei family has a rich background. As long as he keeps a low profile this time, he will be a hero again hundreds of years later.
Unfortunately, Wei thought of things too simply.
Before their strategy could be implemented, something unexpected happened again.
I could hear an old man roaring from the sky above the main residence of the Wei family: “Wei Dongyu, why are you pretending to be such a coward? Why don’t you come out and see Ben Zhenjun quickly!”
The old man’s voice echoed in the sky like a thunderclap, causing the mountain guard formation of the Wei family’s main residence to buzz.
The face of True Lord Liehuo Wei Dongyu suddenly changed: “It’s True Lord Enlightenment of Immortal Palace! He actually came in person!”
The True Monarch of Enlightenment is so revered in the Immortal Dynasty that even the Immortal Lord and the Immortal Emperor have to respectfully call him “Senior” when they see him. Wei Dongyu did not dare to neglect such existence.
Immediately, regardless of his injuries, he soared into the air and arrived above the main house. He saluted the True Monarch of Wu Dao and said cheerfully and politely: “Dong Yu pays homage to Senior Wu Dao. Senior, I, the Wei family, am not far away to welcome you. I hope you will forgive me.”
At the entrance of the main residence of the Wei family, the True Monarch of Enlightenment is standing in the sky, with his gray hair tied casually on his head by a branch, and his green robes swaying in the wind, like a legendary immortal, detached from the world and independent.
Compared to Wei Dongyu who was only 3,000 or so years old opposite him, he looked much younger.
People who don’t know may think that Wei Dongyu is the elder.
However, the attitude of this “immortal” is not good.
“Excuse me for what?” True Lord Enlightenment sneered and said angrily, “I’m here to demand compensation for the Tree of Luck, a total of 50 million immortal crystals. Give it to me and leave the tree immediately.”
Compensation?
Wei Dongyu’s heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly showed a flattering smile and said: “Senior Wu Dao, our Wei family is in a big crisis and cannot raise 50 million immortal crystals at once. Why don’t you give us some time…”
Before he finished speaking, a voice came from a distance and interrupted him: “Senior, don’t believe him. The Wei family has just spent hundreds of millions of immortal crystals to purchase black iron ore. How is this possible? No money?”
Before he finished speaking, space ripples appeared in the sky.
Immediately afterwards, Zhennan Wang Concubine Xia Yang tore apart the space and appeared majestically in front of one person and one tree.
“King of Zhennan!” Old Wei Dongyu twitched his face and said angrily, “You should know what’s going on with our Wei family, right? How could you, a hereditary and indiscriminate king, do such a deed to add insult to injury? A despicable act?”
“Despicable deeds?” King Zhennan laughed and said, “Old Wei, you really dare to label me. You, the Wei family, are allowed to hoard and control the prices of strategic materials, but you are not allowed to add insult to injury? Under the sun, How can this make sense?”
“Yes, I am here to fan the flames.” King Zhennan admitted his purpose graciously, and turned to the Wudao tea tree and said, “Senior Wudao, the Wei family is used to being a local emperor, you If you don’t show them how powerful you are, they will definitely delay and act rogue again and again. The nights are long and the dreams are many, senior.”
“What King Zhennan said is absolutely true.”
The True Monarch of Enlightenment glanced at Wei Dongyu and simply ignored him. Instead, he took a look at a top-quality spiritual field inside the Wei family’s main residence and plunged into it.
On the way down, his body transformed, and his true form emerged in the green light.
It was a majestic giant tree that exuded majesty. Its huge crown blocked the sky and cast a huge shadow on the ground.
Accompanied by the “rumbling” sound of the earth’s veins vibrating, his thick roots thrust forcefully into the depths of the top-grade spiritual field, causing the inside of the spiritual field to turn upside down. He began to absorb the essence of the top-grade spiritual veins with “big mouthfuls”. Reiki comes.
As a twelfth-level quasi-immortal tree, the Enlightenment Tea Tree can guard the center of the Immortal Palace. How huge is its spiritual energy throughput?
As he swallowed with all his strength, the spiritual energy in his spiritual veins began to disappear crazily at a terrifying speed. However, in the blink of an eye, the concentration of spiritual energy in the air began to weaken at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The Wei family suddenly panicked, as if they were in a big disaster.
Seeing that some great elders were about to rush deep into the main house, intending to activate the mountain protection formation to fight against the Wudao Tea Tree, Wei Dongyu hurriedly scolded: “Stop it! Don’t hurt Senior Wudao.”
Wudao Chashu’s status is too high. If he is injured, it will be a big trouble. Failure to protect it will attract the Immortal Emperor and other big guys to win for him. The gain is not worth the loss.
“Oh, Senior Enlightenment~” King Zhennan felt happy and fanned the flames again, “You are still too conservative. I suggest you just expose the Wei family’s treasury and leave after taking the compensation you deserve. . Anyway, the truth is on your side, even if you bring it to the Immortal Emperor, no one can say anything wrong with you.”
Anyway, the relationship between him and the Wei family has been torn apart. If he doesn’t add insult to injury now, how long will it take? As for whether he would be resented by the Wei family in the future, he didn’t care at all.
Wei Dongyu was so angry that King Zhennan was not angry to death.
If the Enlightenment Tea Tree really entered the treasure house and took advantage of the chaos, how much would the Wei family lose?
“Xia Yang’s proposal is good.” Zhenjun Wudao shook the huge crown of the tree and said angrily, “Since the Wei family is unwilling to compensate, Zhenjun Benzhenjun will take it personally.”
“Senior, we were wrong.” Wei Dongyu hurriedly stopped, “Ten days. Give this junior ten days, and the compensation of 50 million immortal crystals will be paid in full. Senior, please quickly accept the magical power.”
“Okay, I will wait for you in the Wei family for ten days. I will leave immediately after receiving the compensation.” Zhenjun Enlightenment continued to dig his roots deeper and tightly wrapped the top-grade spiritual veins while absorbing the spiritual energy. The spiritual energy in his pulse said, “In these ten days, I will not go anywhere.”
Wei Dongyu had no choice but to grit his teeth and say, “Senior, please help yourself. I will pay compensation as soon as possible.”
But as soon as he finished speaking.
In the sky, there were several more figures tearing apart the space.
As soon as the person arrived, a series of old or loud voices sounded one after another, echoing in the sky.
“True Lord Liehuo, you better pay back the funds raised by your Wei family as soon as possible.”
In a word, pay back the money!
“Poof!”
Wei Dongyu’s face turned deathly pale and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Having lived for more than three thousand years, he has never experienced anything. How can he not see the problem when he sees this situation?
Although the Wei family did borrow a lot of money from other aristocratic families or banks, how could it be such a coincidence that all the creditors came together at this juncture?
This was clearly premeditated!
Watching this, King Zhennan felt gloating.
I made you disgusted with me, made you not take my Immortal Weapon Department seriously before, now you are being punished, right?
Wei Dongyu, Wei Dongyu, you are not easy to mess with, why did you mess with Wang Fugui?
On the surface, that young man from Fugui appears to have a bright and beautiful appearance, but in fact, he is rotten and rotten in his bones. How can those vicious schemes one after another be so easy to break?
