Chapter 197: Receive goods at a high price, sell grain at a low price, please the surname, offend yo

Here, food is a very valuable thing. Xiao Yunyan did not sell grain at sky-high prices like other caravans.

The reason why she didn't set a high price here was because there was simply no food produced here. She also grabbed the business of other caravans, not the business of local farmers.

The quality of the grain that was originally sold at a high price was not good. But because the distance is long and the transportation cost is too high, the price is set ridiculously high.

Therefore, ordinary people cannot afford food. Here, ordinary people eat mainly local seafood and various animals in fresh water every day. There are also various leaves and grass. It can be said that the life of ordinary residents is very difficult.

The local light industry is also very backward. There are also many people wearing clothes made of leaves, barely covering their key parts. A bit like a primitive tribe.

However, there is no shortage of resources here. In addition to marine fish, there are also freshwater fish and many animals that can be used as food. In addition to this, there are also a large number of organic gemstones.

The reason why it is called Chixia Port is because it is an island on the edge of the mainland. There are red corals connecting the island to the mainland.

In addition to marine organic gemstones such as pearl clams and corals. This continent also produces brightly colored agate.

However, there is no deep processing capability for agate here. Therefore, most people use agate stone as a decoration for their houses. And the houses here are all made of wood and stone, very primitive.

There is no national currency here. Gold is the most valuable metal. Silver is currency in circulation. Ordinary people do not have these precious metals in their hands. Even if there are, they are very rare and are used as dowries or betrothal gifts for children.

Therefore, when buying grain, very few people use gold and silver to settle the bill. Most of them are settled with dried seafood.

Xiao Yunyan later discovered that there were a large number of agates, as well as corals and pearls of particularly high quality. So, she asked her men to focus on collecting corals, pearls and agate.

Other teams will also collect these things when they come over, but the prices given are very low. Therefore, ordinary people have a large amount of inventory in their hands, but they do not get much money in exchange.

The price Xiao Yunyan asked the fleet to give was very reasonable. The common people exchanged the treasures they had kept for decoration or for their children in exchange for food.

The crew asked them not to exchange too much food. Because the food is exchanged too much, it is easy to get moldy. It's hot and humid here, so food won't last long. They are advised to keep only three months' worth of food.

Moreover, these grains should be properly preserved and placed in a dry and high place. It is best to hang it in the house.

The island residents trust Xiao Yunyan's crew very much and follow their advice very much. Because the crew members were instructed by Xiao Yunyan, they paid very high prices when purchasing these colored stones.

Although the people know that these stones should be very precious. After all, they also need to spend a lot of effort to pick stones on the beach rocks and tidal flats. These top-notch products are also the best of the best.

However. The other fleets didn't want to give them more money. A beautiful stone cannot be exchanged for half a pound of rice.

And this caravan opened a cheap granary at the dock. No matter what you charge, the price given is very high. One piece of such a particularly beautiful colored stone can be exchanged for ten kilograms of rice. This is a great thing that makes people very excited.

Some people at home have dozens of dollars saved. They all want to take it out and exchange it for rice. The crew members asked them not to exchange everything for rice, but to keep some for silver.

In the future, the fleet will come here often, and it will be enough to buy enough food for three months.

The master said that it should be done every three months at the latest. Under normal circumstances, it should take about two months to get here. Therefore, they do not recommend that these simple people exchange all their money for rice. They will bring more goodies next time.

In fact, there are more good things in the master's space. The master always brings them all kinds of delicious, fun and useful things from the space. But the master said that the residents of the island lived a simple life. If you bring out too many good things at once, it will overwhelm them. Maybe some people will get carried away and exchange all their family savings for these useless things. So take it step by step.

He also wants to help the residents of the island earn more money. Then we can send them more living supplies. Predatory trade is not what Xiao Yunyan wants to do.

However, Xiao Yunyan did not overly break the market price, so the price for a piece of top-quality agate the size of a quail egg was the price of ten kilograms of grain. It's much more favorable than other caravans, but it doesn't cut off other fleets' escape routes. If the other party is more fair, it should increase prices for the island residents.

What Xiao Yunyan didn't know was that their behavior had angered their competitors.

In the past, ships from other continents often came here to do business. Some have already established their own businesses here. They mainly purchase agates, corals and pearls at very low prices, and then sell them to local residents for food and low-grade cotton and linen fabrics at high prices. It can be said to be a huge profit.

However, such a fleet has recently arrived. Food of such good quality and delicious pastries in such a wide variety are sold very cheaply.

The shopkeepers of several businesses sent their clerks to queue up. Buy as much as you have. They just want to wait for Xiao Yunyan and his fleet to leave, and then sell the grain bought at a low price at a high price.

Although many people have already bought food, there are still many people who do not have the money to buy too much food at once. So they still have a lot of remaining market share.

Therefore, although Xiao Yunyan's fleet stole their business in food. However, they did not show any opposition or take any action to stop it.

Because they are also beneficiaries. Food was transported from other distant continents. That involves very high risks and very high transportation costs. Being able to buy more food from this team would compensate for their losses.

But what I didn't expect was that the owner of this fleet suddenly thought of purchasing pearl agate and coral. Originally, they didn't want to interfere. However, the price given by this team was too high. Based on this price, the transportation cost for this trip is not enough. Maritime transportation is not that simple. If a storm occurs at any time, it is not surprising that the entire ship will be capsized.

They were also particularly curious, how did this team manage to sell food at such low prices, collect goods at high prices, and still make a profit? And it seems that their food far exceeds the carrying capacity of these ten large ships.

Out of curiosity and wanting to find out the details of their competitors, these shopkeepers and shopkeepers made inquiries. But I didn’t ask why.

They can't sit still. If this fleet continues to mess up the prices, it will be very detrimental to their future acquisitions.

As a result, the Beichuan fleet discovered that several groups of people armed with machetes, spears, and other weapons came aggressively to cause trouble for them.

A group of people drove away the people who were lining up to buy food like wolves and tigers. and prevent them from acquiring agates, pearls and corals.

He yelled at his wife, saying that they were outsiders and did not understand the rules of the island. Blame Xiao Yunyan's men for purchasing at such a high price, which will affect their future business.

Since you dare to cut off their financial resources, you must compensate them. These groups made it clear that they wanted to rob, not only the food in Xiao Yunyan's warehouse, but also the money sold these days, as well as the various goods received.

Because their big ship is coming to the island soon. It just so happened that the goods purchased by Xiao Yunyan and the others were delivered to his ship for free, and he could also get a large sum of money from the master behind him. Give some to the brothers, and the bulk of the rest belongs to the shopkeeper and the boss.

Xiao Yunyan had already expected that their actions would inevitably hurt the interests of some people. If the other party could negotiate well with them, Xiao Yunyan would give them some other forms of compensation.

However, this group of people simply didn't say hello, and directly threatened them with weapons, and even committed bad acts like bandits.

Scholars can tolerate it, but others cannot. Xiao Yunyan didn't talk nonsense. She planned to scare these bad guys. It's also a good time to take advantage of every opportunity to train his subordinates.

So, Xiao Yunyan sent some improved large mines to her men, as well as magic bombs with a sound that had average attack effects but were particularly scary, mainly to scare these people. Let them give up and negotiate to solve the problem.

The two sides fought fiercely as the sun set and night fell. Unexpectedly, this sound, light and color effect attracted many people to watch the fun.

Although they were also scared, they felt that the attack effect of this long weapon was very beautiful, and the sound of the round weapon was deafening and exciting. Therefore, the merchants on both sides were fighting, and the local residents were afraid, but they couldn't help but want to see the outcome of the battle.

Xiao Yunyan initially just wanted to scare these people away, but she underestimated how vicious these people were.

After all, being able to go overseas to do business, and being able to establish his own business shop and power in an unfamiliar environment, he is not an ordinary ruthless person. Most people have lives in their hands. so. Scare doesn't have much effect.

Xiao Yunyan doesn't want her subordinates to rely on drugs all the time. She felt that her men should be more accustomed to various weapons, especially her improved fireworks.

This time, each subordinate was given ten Gatlings first. When playing against others, they worked in pairs, holding Gatlings.

One is impulsive in front, and the other is helping to cover behind. When the first Gatling was about to burn out, the second Gatling's fuse was already lit with a lighter.

In this way, teams of two took turns as the main attackers to fight against the bandits armed with broadswords, spears and mountain knives.

There is no gun sand or anesthesia needle in these Gatling egg balls. However, the amount of gunpowder used increased. Therefore, the damage is still very serious.

The result of the first round of attacks was to control the robbing evil forces on the periphery, and they did not dare to attack the defensive offensive formed by the crew at close range.

The other party is also studying strategies and tactics. Xiao Yuyan distributed large land mines to everyone again. This thing has strong attack power and great destructive power. Therefore, wherever the large land mines are thrown, the group of robbing bandits will scatter like birds and beasts.

Xiao Yunyan still focused on training her subordinates, and did not think about hurting her brother.

However, Xiao Yunyan's kindness made the other party mistakenly think that they were weak and incompetent. Therefore, more thugs were later called in to wipe out Xiao Yunyan and the others.
