Rivers and lakes in another world

Chapter 432
"Huh? What's the matter? Brother Tian, ​​please tell me." Chen Zheng was a little curious, what else did Tian Buqi need to give his own advice?He doesn't know much about business matters.

"It's like this, Brother Chen, you don't know that the situation of Icefield Cold Bamboo is not very good recently. Many tribesmen on the grassland are suffering from the problem of horse plague. The output of Icefield Cold Bamboo has also dropped a lot, and the price is also rising rapidly. Rising, because of the death of the horses, the grassland people need more manpower and material resources to recover the losses. Now buying from the grassland, the profit is lower, and the business of the entire chamber of commerce has been affected. I also made friends with several grassland tribes, They have some good goods in their hands, including cold bamboo in the ice field, which are not low in value, and then I received their invitation. They are preparing to hold a martial arts meeting, and the winning caravan can trade with them. I was still hesitating whether to participate, but now that Brother Chen is here, I suddenly had an idea, some of my masters will come out, and Brother Chen will send out some people, and we can cooperate to win in the martial arts meeting. quota, wouldn't it be nice to start trading when the time comes?" Tian Buqi directly told all the inside stories he knew.

After listening to Chen Zheng, he thought about it. It seems that this is not impossible. There must be Icefield Hanzhu in the headquarters of the Lian's Chamber of Commerce. The reason why he did not go directly to the headquarters of the Lian's Chamber of Commerce but came to find Tian Buqi was to deepen the relationship between the two parties. , is also to save some activity funds for Yan Xuelan, the price of cold bamboo in the ice field itself is not low, if you want to refine medicine on a large scale, the amount is indispensable, that is an astronomical figure, which is not small for Yan Xuelan's small treasury Naturally, Chen Zheng can save a little bit of the challenge.

"Is there such a thing? I don't know the details, can Brother Tian be more detailed?" Chen Zheng wanted to know more specific details.

So Tian Buqi began to explain in detail what he knew.

The organizer of this event was the Qingyang tribe in the northern Xinjiang grassland, and several other small tribes that had a close relationship with the Qingyang tribe jointly organized it.

The purpose is to make the resources of your own tribe bring benefits to the tribe to the greatest extent, but there are too many people who come to buy, and many of them are partners for many years. I am sorry to refuse directly, so the Qingyang tribe Talent took the lead in making such a method.

Let the people of the major caravans compete in a competition, and the three winning places will be traded in order.

This is more fair and just. It can not only allow the Qingyang tribe and others to maintain their own profits, but also prevent the sentiments of various caravans from being so hurt.

Kill two birds with one stone.

Tian Buqi left for the first few days to go to the Qingyang Tribe to do some shopping, and only then did he learn that there was such a rule. He also knew this in advance before he came back to prepare when he had the opportunity.

In the past year or so, Tian Buqi has conducted many transactions with people from the Qingyang tribe, and has also developed a deep friendship with the daughter of the Qingyang tribe leader.

It would take a few days for the Qingyang Tribe to announce the news to the outside world. Tian Buqi came back early to prepare for this because he knew the news earlier.

Originally, he was still worried that there seemed to be not many masters around him, and he might not be able to win the top three places, but now if Chen Zheng and people from the Crow Chamber of Commerce join, the possibility will be greatly improved.

Everyone just takes what they need, and after the quota is available, it will be distributed according to the needs. Isn't it wonderful?

This competition also has a certain level of requirements. People above the innate level will definitely not be allowed to participate. The Crow Chamber of Commerce also has some people, so it is not impossible to participate.

"Okay, Brother Tian, ​​don't worry. Since this is the case, I won't stand by and watch. I will take someone to go deep into the grassland with Brother Tian. My goal is only the cold bamboo in the ice field. I hope that Brother Tian will give up his love when the time comes."

Tian Buqi laughed and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely leave all the cold bamboos in the ice field to Brother Chen. I do less business in alchemy, and it doesn't matter if I have cold bamboos in the ice field. It's settled like that." . By the way, Brother Chen, we finally meet again, and I will be your host tonight to help you clean up your troubles."

Chen Zheng quickly declined, "Hey, I can't help it. I should be the one who cleanses you up. Did you come back from the grassland and sleep in the open? I'm here to invite you today..."

The group of people chatted all the time.

During the day, Tian Buqi took Chen Zheng to see the changes in his caravan during this period, and at the same time shared with Chen Zheng the various stories and experiences he had experienced during this period. , there is laughter, but also sadness.

After Chen Zheng heard this, he was filled with emotions. Tian Buqi has not been easy for more than a year, but he has grown a lot. Chen Zheng estimates that in a few years, he will be able to see a brand new Tian Buqi , he is very likely to be an excellent businessman, and even more likely to be the head of an organization.

That night, Chen Zheng, Tian Buqi and the others also had a good gathering. This time, it can be said that the host and the guest had a good time, because there was nothing important to do the next day, so it was all about drinking and drinking.

Chen Zheng was completely relaxed. When he woke up the next day, Chen Zheng and the others immediately went back to their homes to prepare for their trip.

First of all, Hu Chun began to select some relatively strong personnel to serve as the manpower for this trip.

Because they are going to participate in a martial arts battle, they are all proficient in combat.

Among them, most of them are in the Luck Realm Zhoutian Realm, and there are two people in the Tongmai Realm, one is an old brother from the Heluo Gang, and the other is a member recruited later.

Hu Chun stayed in Dingbei City to coordinate the development of the Crow Chamber of Commerce. Zhao Wen, Zhao Wu, and Zhao Ying were good at martial arts, so they could go to the grassland with Chen Zheng.

There are a total of more than 30 people up and down. As Chen Zheng's manpower for going to the Qingyang tribe this time, they will change into the clothes of the Lien family caravan that Ueda did not abandon, and set off as a team.

This time Tian Buqi can be said to be the strongest lineup he has come up with in order to grab the trading quota of the Qingyang Tribe, and he probably even took out the old man.

The people Chen Zheng was familiar with were Tian Buqi and Fan Ying, and the others were talents that Tian Buqi had cultivated and recruited over the past year.

There are more than 400 people in total, and there are already 500 people including Chen Zheng's Crow Chamber of Commerce. This trip is not a simple martial arts competition, but trading is the main thing. Because of the horse plague, the economy of northern Xinjiang has been hit. , many herdsmen's income has decreased this year, but they still need supplies for winter, and they need them in large quantities.

It will take a certain amount of time for the horse plague in northern Xinjiang to be calmed down, and it will take a few years before it can recover.

The cost of acquiring materials may be lower now than in a few years.

The grassland tribes are willing to accept the necessities of life, and Tian Buqi has already prepared for the worst.

If he could get the trading quota of the Qingyang Tribe, Tian Buqi would naturally make great efforts to buy and then sell his own goods.

But once they didn't get the trading quota, Tian Buqi also decided to sell the goods and then return to Dingbei City, and use his favor to get Chen Zheng a batch of high-quality cold bamboo from the ice field from other people in the Lian Chamber of Commerce. Bring back.

No matter how Tian Buqi couldn't let Chen Zheng come for nothing.

In this way, in order to get the first chance, Tian Buqi and others set off immediately. If you arrive one day earlier, you will have an extra day of preparation time, which is more feasible.

Once again set foot on the road of the grassland, Chen Zheng was still very emotional. The last time Chen Zheng stepped into the grassland for the first time, he not only experienced the exotic customs, but also experienced many important things.

Especially that battle can be said to be shocking. It was the first time in Chen Zheng's life that he saw the battle of top Taoist warriors on the grassland.

It also allowed Chen Zheng to see for the first time why the alien races in northern Xinjiang had some strong fighting power and Beiyan's tough capital.

Fortunately, this time Chen Zheng and the others went to the Qingyang tribe, not the one they went to before. It was a medium-sized tribe. There were also several small tribes forming a loose alliance to keep warm. Their strength was pretty good, and they treated the Beiyan people well. His attitude is relatively kind, and he belongs to the dove faction among the foreign races in the grassland, and he is the Beiyan court's favorite object to fight for.

These people don't like fighting, and they don't like war. All they need is to survive. It seems to them that there is no problem in trading with the Beiyan people for the necessities of life.

Such a frank behavior is more trustworthy than some people who are obviously hawks, but secretly maintain frequent transactions with various chambers of commerce in Beiyan.

Tian Buqi also knew the location of the Qingyang Tribe from the seniors of the caravan, and inherited the friendship left by his predecessors to start a deal with the Qingyang Tribe.

At first, the people of the Qingyang tribe did not trust Tian Buqi who suddenly arrived, fearing that this yellow-haired boy would not have any sense of proportion.

In the end, what I didn't expect was that Tian Buqi's scale was very well grasped.

Every transaction is a situation of mutual benefit and win-win for both parties. It is difficult to grasp the scale of ensuring that both parties get benefits without offending others.

It's rare to meet such a real Beiyan person (the patriarch of the Qingyang tribe thinks it is), so the Wusu patriarch of the Qingyang tribe has become friends with Tian Buqi, and every time Tian Buqi comes, it must be a big feast.

There have been many times of coming and going, and even though Tian Buqi's appearance is not stunning, he is gentle and elegant, and is more popular with girls, and then he is the jewel of the Qingyang tribe, Wuna, the daughter of the head of the Wusu tribe, fell in love with him. , but Tian Buqi has no intention of loving his children now, and plans to focus on his career.

And Wu Na put all her heart on Tian Buqi, she wanted to become Tian Buqi's woman with all her heart, since Tian Buqi didn't respond, the hearty Wu Na simply took the initiative to chase Tian Buqi .

Then there are all kinds of dog food stories. Chen Zheng has already learned enough from Tian Buqi, and he really has no interest in eating dog food. He is almost full.

So he kept changing the topic along the way. As long as it wasn't about Oona, Chen Zheng liked to listen to Tian Buqi talk about any other topic.

This sentence is also quite comfortable in the morning, because the horses that transport the goods also need a proper rest, so overall, Tian Buqi's caravan is not moving fast.

At the same time, there is no too tight defense here, because the caravan is flying the flag of the Lian's Chamber of Commerce. Anyone who is familiar with this flag knows that the Lian's Chamber of Commerce is not a chamber of commerce that can be bullied casually.

First of all, the most important point is that the Lian Chamber of Commerce also has a lot of influence on the grassland.

As the current top-level chamber of commerce in Beiyan, and one of the top suppliers in the northern Xinjiang grassland, the people of the grassland will not irrationally attack the Lian Chamber of Commerce in the first place.

What you get in this way is not a little bit of monetary profit, but it will hurt your own tribe.

I don't know how many daily necessities, luxuries, various raw materials, weapons and equipment, exercises and cheats, etc., are all exchanged through transactions between the prairie people and the Lian Chamber of Commerce.

It can be said that the economic lifeline of some prairie tribes is entirely under the hands of the Lian Chamber of Commerce.

If they offend the Lian Chamber of Commerce, the Lian Chamber of Commerce can deal with them without having to take action personally.

As long as the trade with those tribes is stopped, in this era when many grassland tribes cannot produce self-sufficiently, the grassland people can be defeated in minutes, not to mention that the Lian's Chamber of Commerce has money and people.

As the saying goes, there must be a brave man under a great reward.As long as the Lian Chamber of Commerce offered a bounty, many other tribes on the grassland would come to offer their help in exchange for the bounty.

Even if this method is not used, Lian's Chamber of Commerce has bought a lot of warriors with money, and their cultivation is even more unusual. I don't know if there are any warriors who have entered the Dao realm, but there are still quite a few warriors in the Tiangang realm. Proper force has deterred, who dares to provoke.

That is to say, under the protection of this flag, Tian Buqi can trade between grasslands safely.

Perhaps the year-end friendship with Wu Su also has some reason for this.

In addition, Tian Buqi has 500 people for this time, which is not small, and it is also a large caravan outside. Many people left after seeing it from a distance, and they dare not approach at all.

They can't afford to offend people from the Great Chamber of Commerce, so it's better to stay away.

Just walking and stopping along the way, chatting, drinking and eating meat while observing the surroundings, this small life is also very comfortable.

Let Chen Zheng have a new sense of the trip to the grassland.

The last time Chen Zheng and the others kept everything simple for the task, and they often ate hot soup and steamed buns. This time it was different with Tian Buqi. The slaves sold by the prairie people are often slaves or prisoners of war who are taken as trophies. They can not only be used for combat, but also a good helper in daily life.

After all, in the city of Beiyan, their role may be just a coolie, but on the grassland, their value has increased one by one, from the original coolie to a technical talent.
