Chapter 82: Zhong Shan and Lu Buwei

Liuhe City

Zhong Shan was at the helm of the Darong Chamber of Commerce to analyze the information collected by the Quartet. The person in charge of the sub-rudder quickly ran in.

"Zhao Hai, why are you so anxious?" Zhong Shan raised his head and frowned.

"Your Majesty, you told me to pay attention to the news from all directions, but just after I went out, I heard unusual news from Liuhe City," said Zhao Hai, the chief executive of the Great Glory Business Association here.

"Oh?" Zhong Shan was slightly surprised.

"It's a Sumeru Stone Mountain, and it fetched a sky-high price," Zhao Hai said immediately.

"Sky price? Mount Sumeru?" Zhong Shan was slightly surprised.

Sumeru stones are used as storage bracelets. The amount of Sumeru stones determines the size of the storage space. Sumeru stones are as common as spirit stones in China and irreplaceable as spirit stones. Zhong Shan completed the first step of the Tianbeng plan by hyping up Sumeru Stone. Sumeru Stone Mountain is naturally a large number of Sumeru Stones.

"That's right, it's a mountain of Sumeru Stones. According to the previous price, it should only be worth a million high-grade spirit stones. However, after someone sent the Sumeru Stone Mountain this time, it was actually bought by a shop for 10 million high-grade spirit stones. Ten times the price, once the news came out, the whole city was a sensation." Zhao Hai said.

"Oh? Ten times?" Zhong Shan frowned slightly.

"Yes, it's ten times. This is just the purchase price. The store will sell it later. Once sold, there will be at least 20% profit," Zhao Hai said immediately.

"I am the Great Glory Chamber of Commerce, can someone take pictures?" Zhong Shan asked.

"Yes, my Darong Commercial Association is in Liuhe City. The largest store is the Xumi Stone Store, which specializes in selling Xumi Stone. This time, the outside world will definitely go to our store. According to the old shopkeeper, the group who participated in the auction at that time The people are crazy, the price has been rising, it has risen to ten times, and the old shopkeeper did not chase after the auction." Zhao Hai thought for a while.

"What's the attitude of the people now?" Zhong Shan asked with a frown.

"Wait and see, the people are watching the momentum of the Sumeru Stone, but the eyes of the people are all transferred to the Sumeru Stone." Zhao Hai thought for a while.

"Ten times? How many Sumeru stone shops are there in the city?" Zhong Shan asked with a frown.

"There are fifty stores in total. The Xumi Stone stores of our Da Rong Commercial Association are ranked in the top ten. Once the news that the Sumeri Stone has risen tenfold, almost all of the Sumeri Stone stores have recently been buying and selling in small quantities, and the price is also high. Soaring all the way up." Zhao Hai said.

"Soaring?" Zhong Shan frowned slightly, as if he had noticed something unusual.

"Yes, my Darong Sumeru shop of the Darong Commercial Association has fallen into a dilemma," Zhao Hai said worriedly.

"Oh? Why?" Zhong Shan frowned.

"When the shop was opened here, I promised that the price would only drop for a hundred years. But now, isn't this a slap in the face? If we don't upgrade others, everyone will come to grab our Sumeru Stone. Once it is sold out, it will definitely affect the reputation, and once the reputation is damaged, it will be difficult to continue to develop," Zhao Hai worried.

"Well, your idea is good." Zhong Shan nodded.

"Thank you Your Majesty" Zhao Hai rarely showed a smile.

"What kind of shop is that shop bought at ten times the price?" Zhong Shan asked in a deep voice.

"It's called 'Lu's Business Association', and it appeared for the first time in Liuhe City four months ago. Once it appeared, it immediately caused a lot of trouble in the city. In just four months, it has become one of the largest stores in Liuhe City, and its development is extremely rapid. No, It is the incredible speed of development. Countless spirit stones are poured into the Lu Business Association every day. In four months, it has almost become a weather vane in the city. As long as the price of any item rises there, other places will immediately follow suit. , it lowers the price, and other shops in the city immediately lower their prices," Zhao Hai exclaimed.

"Oh? Lu's Business Association? You just came here four months ago? You made a mess in the city right away?" Zhong Shan asked in surprise.

"It was the first day of opening, and there was a lot of people. Within a month, every day was full," Zhao Hai exclaimed.

"How did Lu's Business Association do it?" Zhong Shan said solemnly.

"On the opening day, Lu's Business Association didn't make any ostentation, just put up a sign, and countless people flocked in." Zhao Haidao.

"what brand?"

"The sign says 'Anyone who finds a defective product in Lu's Business Association will be rewarded with a million spirit stones'. Then, for this reward, anyone who sees the sign will immediately go in and check all the products carefully, and then spread the word to ten. , ten to one hundred," said Zhao Hai.

"A word of gold? Lu Buwei?" Zhong Shan's pupils shrank.

Isn't this Lu Buwei's old trick? A piece of "Lushi Chunqiu", scholars all over the world learn from each other, if you find a word that can be changed, you will be rewarded with a thousand gold. The world flocked to read it.

"A word of gold?" Zhao Hai didn't understand what was going on.

"Well, regardless of these, let me ask you, has anyone found a defective product?" Zhong Shan asked.

"The Lu's Chamber of Commerce is very large, with more than one million products. It is impossible for each of them to be high-quality goods. On the second day, someone found a defective product. The Lu's Chamber of Commerce awarded a million spirit stones in public." Zhao Hai said.

"Oh?" Zhong Shan frowned.

"I don't know, people not only don't visit Lu's Chamber of Commerce less because of this defective product, but there are more people every day. The profits brought to Lu's Chamber of Commerce every day are also getting bigger and bigger. In just four months, the Squeezed into one of the top shops in Liuhe City." Zhao Hai sighed incomparably.

"Profit drives them away. People are naturally willing to go, because what they buy is high-quality goods, even if they buy defective products, it will be even better. If you can exchange for millions of spirit stones, who has any worries?" Zhong Shan slightly sigh.

Lu Buwei, worthy of being a veteran in business, has taken another step of "breaking and then building" on the basis of "a word of money". Because of this one defective product, the business has continued for a long time, and perhaps that defective product was deliberately done by Lu Buwei.

"Your Majesty, what are we going to do now?" Zhao Hai asked worriedly.

"The shops that buy and sell Sumeru stones in the city have adjusted their prices uniformly?" Zhong Shan asked.

"No, most of the prices have been adjusted, but the price increases vary. It seems that they are looking at the price of the Lu Business Association. When he comes out, many people are likely to flock to follow him. People are afraid to buy now, fearing that they will buy at a high price. Fall," said Zhao Hai.

"En." Zhong Shan nodded.

"Your Majesty, after five days, there will be another auction of the Sumeru Stone. At that time, do we want to take it down, even if it costs a lot?" Zhao Hai asked.

"I'll go with you when the time comes," Zhong Shan said.

"yes"

the second day.

"Your Majesty, it's out, the price of Lu's Chamber of Commerce is out, and the retail price of Sumeru Stone has increased tenfold," Zhao Hai hurriedly said.

"The Lu's Business Association has gone up? What about the other Xumi Stone stores?" Zhong Shan frowned.

"It has also increased, most of them have increased, and nearly twenty companies have increased by the same rate as the Lu Business Association, and the rest have different prices. Only a few companies have not increased their prices like us," Zhao Hai worried.

"What about the common people?" Zhong Shan nodded.

"Some people are already anxious to buy the Sumeru Stone. This morning, the number of people who came to buy the Sumeru Stone was obviously much more than before," Zhao Hai said.

"A lot more?" Zhong Shan said solemnly.

"Yes, Your Majesty, there is no Sumeru stone mine near Liuhe City. To buy goods from the outside world, it must take eight years to go back and forth. Turning it into a bracelet and then destroying it and taking it out again, only half of the original effect remains, and there are other people's blood and consciousness on it, and the Sumeru Stone has to buy the latest one, because the storage bracelet can only be opened by yourself. Other people's bloodline consciousness, that is to say, others can also open it, such a Sumeru Stone can't be sold at a good price." Zhao Hai said with a frown.

The third day, the fourth day. There are more and more people buying Xumi Stone from Daiei Commercial Association

fifth day.

Zhong Shan and Zhao Hai went to look at the store, there was already a long queue at the entrance of the Daring Commercial Association and the Daring Sumeru store.

"Your Majesty, look, these people want to buy Sumeru Stones. I have set a limit. Each person can only buy one catty of Sumeru Stones per day, but there are still so many people," Zhao Hai said with a frown.

"Well, let's go, let's go see what kind of auction it is." Zhong Shan frowned.

"yes"

The two soon came to a huge valley. In the center of the valley, there is a hill pile of flawless white jade, which is completely made of original Sumeru stones. Another Sumeru Stone Mountain.

Big businessmen in twos and threes have gathered in the valley. Divided into many small groups scattered here and there, obviously they all came here for this Sumeru Stone Mountain.

With Zhao Hai's identity as the introduction, no one stopped them, and the two stepped in.

Looking at Mount Sumeru, Zhong Shan looked at the businessmen around him. Suddenly, Zhong Shan's hair stood on end and looked towards a corner of the valley.

Zhong Shan suddenly felt someone staring at him, turned his head, and just saw a man in a fancy dress sitting in front of a table, with a large number of servants standing beside him, the man was drinking and tasting dishes while waiting.

"Your Majesty, the person sitting there is the head of the Lu Business Association. No one knows his name. We call him Mr. Lu. He rarely shows up, and I only met him once." Zhao Hai immediately whispered road.

Mr. Lu? Zhong Shan looked at the man in fine clothes, and the man seemed to have paid attention to Zhong Shan from the beginning, and the end of the wine glass in his hand was facing Zhong Shan.

Zhong Shan raised his jaw slightly, and then stepped forward with a slight smile.

Zhao Hai followed closely behind.

"Mr. Lu?" Zhong Shan bowed slightly when he approached.

"Mr. Zhong, please sit down," the man in the Chinese robe said with a faint smile.

Zhong Shan had already guessed that this person was Lu Buwei, but he didn't point it out. Lu Buwei knew exactly who Zhong Shan was in front of him, and he didn't tell the truth, but asked Zhong Shan to sit down.

Zhong Shan felt a little strange in his heart, but he still said very calmly: "That would be disrespectful."

Zhong Shan sat down, Zhao Hai stood behind him.

Seeing Zhong Shan's calmness, Lu Buwei admired it a little, and there was a hint of banter in his eyes.

"Would you like to try the special food of Liuhe City, paired with our fine wine?" Lu Buwei asked.

"Why not? Then Zhong Shan will try Mr. Lu's taste." Zhong Shan picked up the fine wine and took a sip slowly.

Lu Buwei kept staring, as if he wanted to see through Zhong Shan.

"Moist but not dry, clear but not cold, fat but not greasy, refreshing and refreshing, it really is a good wine"
