Thirteen Swords of Qin Shizhi's Desperate Beginning

Chapter 124 Salt price plummets, Emerald Tiger's bolt from the blue

Emerald Tiger had a bad premonition in his heart, and asked: "What's going on? Why did the price of salt drop?"

Guan Jiahui reported: "My lord, as soon as the market opened in Xinzheng today, a large amount of refined salt of unknown origin suddenly flooded into the market as soon as the city gate opened. According to visual estimation, it weighs hundreds of catties."

"Moreover, the price is only [-] gold a catty. Korean dignitaries and merchants from seven countries rushed to buy it, but instead abandoned the fine salt in the shops under the Emerald Villa."

The Emerald Tiger was shocked and said: "No, this is absolutely impossible. The refiner of refined salt is obviously dead. There will never be refined salt in this world."

"Could it be that Liusha found the master behind the Baiyue salt merchant, and spent a lot of money to buy the rest of the refined salt from him."

This is the only explanation, and the most reasonable one.

The Emerald Tiger snorted coldly, the bronze wine bottle fell to the ground, the wine splashed, his face turned cold, and he ordered: "Send down the order, and buy back refined salt from merchants from various countries at any cost."

"As long as the share of refined salt in the market decreases, the price will continue to rise."

The housekeeper hesitated and said, "But master, merchants from all over the world will definitely take the opportunity to raise the price of refined salt, I'm afraid the amount is huge."

The Emerald Tiger waved his long sleeves and said, "What are you afraid of? Don't we earn enough money these days? This is a huge profit without capital."

For [-] catties of refined salt, the Emerald Tiger only paid [-] gold, and the next [-] catties of refined salt was a windfall.During this period of time, he earned more than ten thousand gold.

Coupled with a strong family background, Jade Tiger's personal financial reserves are estimated to be no less than [-] gold.

The Emerald Tiger clenched his fists and said, "Hmph, these hundreds of catties of refined salt are just the last dying struggle of Li Changqing and Han Fei."

"From now on, we'll buy as much as they put in."

"The price of salt must not come down."

The butler led the order to retreat: "Obey."

As time passed, the Emerald Tiger sat firmly on the Diaoyutai.

noon.

The butler was sweating profusely and came to report.

"Master, we have paid a lot of money to buy five hundred catties of refined salt, but the price of salt has still dropped to 25 gold per catty."

"Not long ago, another batch of refined salt poured into the Xinzheng market. The amount is not much different from when the market opened in the morning, and it may not be less than [-] catties."

The Emerald Tiger sat up in shock: "Another five hundred catties?!"

Emerald Tiger clenched his fists with both hands, then released them, calmly said: "Unexpectedly, the owner behind the Baiyue salt merchant still has more than a thousand catties of refined salt."

There is only one person to refine the refined salt, and the efficiency is extremely slow. According to the estimation of the number of people in the night, it will take at least half a year to produce a thousand catties of refined salt.

Therefore, the Jade Tiger predicts that there will not be too much salt in the hands of the mysterious Baiyue people.

"Keep buying."

The butler hesitated and said, "My lord, is five hundred catties too much!? After all, the price is 25 gold per catty, which is really not cheap."

The Emerald Tiger said indifferently: "The quicksand funds are only five thousand, and the betting money has already been paid for three thousand gold."

"Even if the owner behind the Baiyue Salt Merchant has two or three thousand catties of refined salt in reserve, based on the original selling price of one gold per catty, even if Quicksand goes bankrupt, he can only buy two thousand catties at most."

The Emerald Tiger sneered, "Besides, do the Baiyue people really have two thousand catties of refined salt?"

"Don't worry about the amount of refined salt. Do as I say. We will buy as much as they put in. I am afraid that the other party has too little refined salt. Once all the refined salt is in my hands, I have the final say on the price. I will buy refined salt today. All of them will become the only magic weapon for making huge profits.”

The butler led the order to retreat: "Yes."

In the Emerald Tiger Mansion, people came and went, and bags of refined salt were bought one after another.

At the same time, batches of refined salt continued to pour into the market, five hundred catties, one thousand catties, one thousand five hundred catties, two thousand catties.

On this day, a full two thousand catties of refined salt poured into the market, and all of them were snapped up by the Emerald Tiger at a high price.

At dusk, the market closes.

The steward returned to the mansion out of breath, wiped the sweat from his face, and reported: "Master, today I bought a total of [-] catties of refined salt. However, the price of salt has been reduced to [-] gold a catty."

Emerald Tiger has experienced ups and downs in the business world, often fighting for wealth with others, and has experienced all kinds of big scenes, and won every time, step by step to get to where it is today.

The Emerald Tiger was sitting in the gazebo, fishing on the lotus pond, calmly said: "Is there still refined salt pouring into the market?"

Hearing the question, the butler said with admiration: "The master is very predictable, the refined salt that suddenly poured in today is indeed the last dying struggle of quicksand."

"Counting from the closing time of the market, two hours before, no batch of refined salt flooded into the market in Xinzheng. Most of the refined salt on the market was put into our warehouse."

The Emerald Tiger laughed heartily when he heard the words: "Li Changqing, Li Changqing, this time, let's see how you and Han Fei die. The two thousand gold betting money is gone. Let's see what you will give to the Jagged Alliance."

"The gamble of the Jagged Alliance, even in the dark, dare not openly breach the contract, it is mere quicksand, prepare for destruction."

The Emerald Tiger stroked his beard and said with a smile: "And there is more than one good thing. The old man accepts these two thousand catties of refined salt. From tomorrow onwards, the price of salt will continue to rise, and there is no possibility of a drop in price."

"Hahaha, fighting against me, the Emerald Tiger Merchant, you are simply vulnerable."

In the lotus pond, the fish bit the bait, disturbing the water in the pond, making noises and ripples.

The Emerald Tiger closed his rod, his eyes brightened and said: "Hehe, it's a big fat fish, a very fat, very fat fish."

"Order the kitchen to add another dish for dinner tonight."

The butler led the order to retreat: "Yes, sir."

In the temporary garden, everyone gathered in Quicksand.

Li Changqing, Han Fei, Wei Zhuang, Zhang Liang, Zi Nu, Nong Yu, and Yan Ling Ji gathered in the hall to discuss important matters.

Zi Nu's delicate face was no longer worried or tired.

In the past half month, in order to ensure that Li Changqing had enough refined salt, Zi Nu was worried that the original three thousand catties would not be enough, so she led all the girls in Zilanxuan to work overtime every day, and produced another two thousand catties in a short period of time, which can be said to be exhausted.

But today, at this moment, Zi Nu is in a very good mood, because she has seen through the situation and sees that Li Changqing will undoubtedly win.

Zi Nu's slender waist is slender and graceful, and it is full to hold. She poured a glass of wine, gave it to Li Changqing and said, "So, tomorrow you will give the Emerald Tiger a fatal blow."

Li Changqing raised his glass and said with a smile: "The fish have been hooked, it's time to catch the net."

Pippifei joked, "It's still a big fat fish, very fat."

Nongyu chuckled and said, "So, Sister Zi Nu decided that the main course for dinner tonight is fish, arowana."

Nongyu waved his hands and clapped, "Serve."

Hong Yu, Cai Die and the others came in one after another, and the dinner food and wine were served one after another. The six people of Quicksand and their ally Yan Lingji had a dinner together. The main course was a big and fat arowana.

Li Changqing smiled and said: "Miss Zi Nu is really understanding, she actually knows that I want to eat fish."

"I would like to offer you a toast, and let's see the end of tomorrow."

"The four evil generals in the night, after tomorrow there will be the three evil generals."

Everyone raised their glasses in Han Fei, and said with a smile, "Brother Li, I wish you victory."

"Dry!"

Bang, bang, bang... The bronze wine bottles collided, and the wine splashed.

The next morning, Emerald Tiger got up early, he hadn't been this happy for a long time, so much so that last night "Old Man Chatting with Teenage Crazy" had two dancers, and he got up early this morning, still full of energy.

He can't wait for the news of the opening of the market, to be precise, the news of how much the price of salt will rise after the opening of the market in Xinzheng.

The price of salt can only rise, never fall.

Emerald Tiger smiled and said to himself: "When the market closed yesterday, the price of salt was twenty gold a catty. How much will it increase today?"

"It's not good, it's not good..."

The housekeeper scrambled and scrambled, and said with a panicked expression: "Master, it's not good. Just after the market opened today, three thousand catties of refined salt poured into the market in an instant, and the price of salt fell to fifteen gold per catty in just half an hour."

"what?"

"Three thousand catties?"

Emerald Tiger's face was pale, and the exquisite wine glass in his hand fell to the ground and was smashed to pieces. The news fell like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, and he was in a turmoil, and he couldn't recover for a long time.
