Chapter 1904 Ouyang Qiu

Yang Qiu never thought that Li Cong would have such an idea. It is not that no one thought about this before, but after thinking about these people, they basically died without fulfilling their wishes. It should be said that those People who buy iron ore don't want these mine owners to unite, and they don't want the mine owners to engage in any deep processing. What did you do? They used to suck blood in the middle, now there is no room for them to develop, how can this happen?

"Husband, I know you have your own great talents and strategies, but I don't want you to do this. Do you know how many people in the empire are eating minerals? What you have to face is not just one person or a Family, but a large force with many people, many families and many families. If you open this hole, those mining businessmen will probably go crazy. They just want to make this price difference between mine owners and customers. If they get rid of them, it's tantamount to cutting off their wealth. They will definitely fight you desperately. Their power is very powerful. An ancestor of our Yang family also wanted to do things like that, but in the end the result was What? You have also seen that our Yang family is still mining minerals. I know that you are much stronger than our family now, but you must know that dozens of Yang families are useless even if those forces unite. Can it catch up with dozens of Yang families?" Yang Qiu said, she wasn't trying to throw cold water on Li Cong, but there were too many people and things involved in this matter, if Li Cong really insisted on going his own way, he would suffer a lot .

"Everything needs to be done by someone. I may be the pioneer. Don't worry about me. You also know me. If I don't have a complete plan to live or something, I won't act rashly Hands-on, when did you see that I suffered? Those people are very capable, but I didn't say that I would fight them head-on. I'm not that stupid. I know how strong I am Yes, if I go head-to-head with them, I don’t have the qualifications myself, but I don’t want to see such an impenetrable situation, I think I’d better break it slowly, it won’t hurt to cut the flesh slowly.” Li Cong laughed said. Naturally, this matter cannot be rushed, and no one knows about his enemies. When Yang Qiu heard what Li Cong said, he felt relieved.

"Actually, I was worried for nothing. From the first time I saw you to now, you must do what you have decided. It is useless to say what others say. You can do whatever you want. , but you must promise me, no matter what time it is, don’t force yourself, if you really can’t do it, just quit. Men are good at face, in fact, I also care about your face, but compared with life, I still I care more about your life, in fact, I think your current business is good, isn't it good?" Yang Qiu said with some confusion, in his opinion, even if Li Cong's money is worth 10,000 lifetimes, it may not be enough Why go into a new field when all you can spend is gone.

"Of course I will agree to this. With a little stunner like you here, how can I be willing to have an accident on my own? Life is very good now, but I am a person who likes challenges, you know? What I want most What I see is that the world is in my hands, and the voice I make can control the world. Instead of letting me control the world according to the scale of others.

"Li Cong said proudly, his words seemed to have infected Yang Qiu, and now Yang Qiu sees that Li Cong will appear a lot of little stars, how could this be, this man is really handsome .

"Well, what you said is really good. Since you said that, I can only support you with all my strength. The scale of 540 iron mines should not be small, and you can reach the same level as our Yang family in no time. Yes, but you should know that this iron mine is divided into many grades, and the area of ​​mines produced by many people is much larger than that of our Yang family, but their influence is not even one third of that of our Yang family. Well, this is one reason, do you know what it is?" Yang Qiu said.

"I am still clear about this, that is, your Yang family has a very powerful mine vein, which can dig out the best iron ore, isn't it? All of their iron ore are below the fifth-grade iron ore. It can be said that It's useless." Li Cong said.

"You are right. Our Yang family does have such a vein. It can be said that the iron ore veins in the entire Yandong Province grow according to this level. Some people say that if there is a first-class iron ore, Then a small piece of iron ore may be worth more than tens of thousands of hectares of ordinary iron ore. There is a first-class ore vein on our Yang family's territory, but it seems to have disappeared when one of my ancestors was in power. , if this kind of mineral vein appears, the whole world will be shaken. It was not easy for our Yang family to get this mineral vein back then. Many people died. If there is no such mineral vein, there may not be the current Yang family. home." Yang Qiu said, knowing a little about the Li family of the family.

Regarding this non-issue, Li Cong couldn't be so relaxed, even if he was facing his wife, if he was known, he could easily see the quality of the vein, Then I guess my life will not be so easy in the future. There are many people in this society who rely on this to make a living. They all help people to see the quality of the mine veins. Money, some old people do have this ability, but they don't dare to talk too much about it, they just give some advice, but some people just rely on this to make a living, they They don't know what's inside the stone at all, they just need to know how to say it hard, anyway, it's the best if they have money at the end.

"The question you mentioned is also very difficult for me. I think I still need to invite some very powerful people to help me find out. We don't understand what's going on inside this stone." Li From the ability of acting has always surpassed Hollywood.

"You don't need to worry about this. I have stayed in Yandong Province for a long time. I still know some powerful masters. I will go back to help you find one in a few days. Although I dare not say that every time It can be said accurately, but I think it is definitely the same. In short, this guy hasn't missed a shot in the past few decades. Many people have asked him to see it, and this guy's airs have grown. Yes. Now it’s not easy to invite anyone, but I have a good relationship with his wife, I believe he is giving him this face, but the money can’t be less.” Yang Qiu said, Li Cong nodded. He didn't know if the person Yang Qiu was looking for was reliable, but Yang Qiu's heart is already very good.

The mine that Li Cong bought didn't have any good things. At most, it is something for ordinary people, and there is nothing advanced at all. Otherwise, with Li Cong's temperament, he must have figured it out a long time ago. Selling raw materials is something that low-level people do. We are absolutely high-level people. Li Cong has already read some of the blacksmith's books. He thinks that he is also a qualified blacksmith. Although he hasn't done it yet, he feels that he is close and wants to come in person.

"Okay, you just go and invite this powerful guy in the next few days. I'll take a good look around, and if there are any good ones, we'll buy them. In the future, I will leave it to you to do the mining, sir. If you are at home, you can keep yourself bored." Li Cong said with a smile, the two new wives are naturally fine, but the two at home are too busy to die, and the princess is the eldest lady. The affairs of the Earl's Mansion must be managed up and down, and some external affairs of the Earl's Mansion must be taken care of by the princess herself, and the princess does not even have any free time.

This Cui Xian'er is the second wife of the Earl's Mansion, and she usually has a lot of socializing and entertainment, but these are not the most important things for Cui Xian'er, his most important thing is the charity foundation. It is now on the right track, and this is mainly because Li Cong got some financial experts in the past, otherwise this thing might have gone bankrupt due to poor management, and this is mainly because Cui Xian'er's temper is too good. It feels like help is needed here, and rescue is needed there, but there is only so much money. If you use it here, you can’t use it there. There is a million taels of silver every month. If it weren’t for Li Cong’s strong support, the foundation would have disappeared by now, and now there are some good managers. It is also barely able to maintain, and Li Cong is already very satisfied if he can reach this level.

"Okay, you can rest assured. Although I am not very familiar with minerals, the brand of the Yang family is still very useful. Your title of Earl may not be very useful in this generation, but the eldest lady of the Yang family thinks It's very easy to do something." Yang Qiu said, although he didn't like the Yang family very much, but during this period of time at home, he adapted a lot, and Li Cong fully understood this. People who have never had family warmth, suddenly have so many family members who care about themselves, at the beginning, they naturally don't want to talk to them, but in the end, they will definitely start to sink in bit by bit, until Finally think of yourself as someone who is this guy.

"This is what I believe. These days, the local officials here don't care what kind of earl I am. They seem to be looking at your face. Many people look at the big brand of the Yang family." Li Cong joked Said, he is the real earl, but the distance between here and the south is more than a thousand miles, and they can't control them, so naturally they don't have much respect. The most important thing is to take good care of the young lady of the Yang family. This is in a neighboring province. It can be said that it belongs to their boss. You have to take good care of this, otherwise you will end up...

The two joked for a while, Li Cong separated from Yang Qiu, Li Cong also has something to do today, and today is the opening of the annual iron ore sales conference in Yandong Province. Like an economic exchange meeting, buyers from all over the empire will go to a place specified by Yandong Province to discuss the quantity and price of purchases with the mine owner. Of course Li Cong is not qualified to enter, although his small mine is I have just passed the formalities, but to be honest, I am not qualified enough to enter. If I want to enter, I must have a share of 100 million catties per year, which is 50,000 tons per year. If Li Cong's mine can be exploited properly for a while It is estimated that it is still possible, but now their workers are not in the mood to work like that. It is very good to have 20,000 tons per year.

Although Li Cong was not qualified to go in, as the son-in-law of the Yang family, it was easy for him to go in and see what was going on. The Yang family had fifty places, so there was no way. Who said that the Yang family is one of the few large mineral crocodiles in the empire. The annual output of the family can rank first in the empire. It can be said that this exchange meeting in Yandong Province is mainly for the goods of the Yang family. Yes, many mineral merchants came here to carve up the iron ore in the hands of the Yang family. It can be said that at this meeting, a behemoth like the Yang family can be regarded as a weak one.

The Yang family was afraid that Li Cong would not understand some of the rules inside. So he also appointed a young boy, Yang Hao, a cousin of Yang Qiu, to follow Li Cong. Yang Hao admired this legendary brother-in-law very much, and it was a pleasure to agree to the task entrusted to him by the family. We don't need to talk about these things at home, we will handle them well.

"Brother-in-law, this is the viewing area. People from all major mines will put the best materials they dug this year here. Many mining merchants will look at them one by one. After all, within a year These things may change a lot. In the past, they were not at this level, but it does not mean that they will not represent this level in the future. Our Yang family also has three booths here. Look, brother-in-law, it is that The three on the side." Yang Hao pointed to the table with the most traffic in the middle and said, Li Cong glanced at it, good guy, yes, it really is very powerful. The people from the Yang family are really different from other families. The Yang family sells three pieces of second-class material, each of which must weigh hundreds of catties. Naturally, such good things can attract so many people. After reading it, of course many people still think whether they can win it.

"Yang Hao, how much does this thing cost?" Li Cong looked at the three pieces with envy. These things can make a lot of top-quality weapons. Of course, Li Cong would never pay for these three pieces of materials. In Li Cong’s view, this is simply a waste of money. If you want it, you can find it everywhere, and you can find better materials than this. Just want to know what the price of this thing is.

"Brother-in-law, these three pieces of materials are the best materials produced in all our mines. The biggest asking price for the middle one is 720,000 taels of silver a catty, and the weight is estimated to be 495 catties. The base price we give is about It is a little over 300 million silver, but the price is definitely very low. You see that many people have already started to write down the price in their hearts and throw it in. It will be opened in three hours, and the highest price will be reached by then. The price belongs to that person. I estimate that the final price will be between 500 million and 600 million silver. Brother-in-law, this good material used to belong to our Yang family, but this year is different. The Ouyang family in the north But some good materials came out, and if their people don’t come to our exchange meeting, if they come, they will steal the limelight.” Thinking of the downturn at home this year, even though Yang Hao I'm an average kid, but I can feel how different this year at home is from the previous ones.

Li Cong looked at Yang Hao with doubts. It was obvious that Li Cong was not very familiar with the Ouyang family. It turned out that it was far away from the Yang family, about 32 provinces away Another mining giant of the empire, the history of the Ouyang family can be said to have existed almost at the same time as the empire, and it is much stronger than the Yang family, and they dared to do this from the very beginning, and tens of thousands of years have passed , they still do this, the mine has changed a lot of places, but the people are still the same people, they can be said to be unusually united, the Yang family is often not their opponent, of course in the Yang family They don't dare to act recklessly on the territory, and they have to be moral in order to save face.

"If these three pieces of material are not the best this year, what good material has the Ouyang family produced this year?" Li Cong said.

"Well, speaking of it, these bastards are really lucky. For several years in a row, the materials from their homes are not as good as ours. Who knows that this year they came to a salted fish and turned around, and they came out with a piece Waiting for the material, the item was not sold in the end, but they didn't want to sell it at all, so they directly offered a price of 100 billion silver, but there were many people who were willing to pay 20 billion to buy it, and they didn't know What the boss of the Ouyang family was thinking, he said directly that he would not sell it, and put it on the strong mountain in their store. This kind of behavior was often done by Li Cong before, but it did not cause any resentment, but the Ouyang family Offended so many mineral merchants, I don't know what to do. These high-level fighters are really cheap. One by one, they heard that Ouyang's family came out with this thing, and they came to the door with gifts and beauties. It seems that if it is really useless If so, these things will be useful.

"Hehe, don't be sad, that's how business is. Either you earn or we lose. There are a lot of interesting things here. I haven't seen them before, but you are here to be my tour guide today." Yes, I’m not here to listen to your complaints.” Such a small child knows to care about the prosperity and decline of his own family, which is indeed very good.

"I have nothing to say to cherish fair competition, but this matter is obviously not fair competition. Their people may have made these things very early. They made it ugly for us on such a day." Although the original work has not come, many children are very happy with the things made by a nursery school.

"When you come out to hang out, you have to know that everything should be expected. Don't worry. Isn't there more than ten days in this conference? Maybe your limelight will overwhelm others later." Is it a bit wrong to educate my brother-in-law like this? No matter what, they belong to the same family, so sarcastic remarks are not very good.

"Oh, that's what I thought too. In fact, the two families are basically the same, and their history is a little bit better. But there are not many rising stars in their family. In recent years, the two families have compared the abilities of some adults. I really want to be younger and go up with them and have a good try." Yang Hao provocatively said, Li saw this guy's small arms and legs and knew that this guy must have not been trained. What does it look like?

The two strolled and watched for a while, and Li Cong actually didn't have any other ideas when he came here. I just want to see what's going on with everything here, mainly because of the distinction between the materials. If he can understand this, Li Cong can look around, and he can definitely tell the difference with his own eyes. There are bad things, and it is not necessary to buy the entire mine. I have seen clearly where this first-class mine is. I can just take it out directly, why spend money, this is no different from Ming Qiang, but the most important thing is that others don't know about it, only I know about it, and if someone wants to pursue it, it is absolutely impossible to get to my own on the head.

"Come and see, today's most important performance is about to begin. Mr. Ouyang Xianhe, the third-grade blacksmith, is going to publicly forge a new good weapon. But it is forged with third-class materials, those who need it go quickly, if you go late, you may have nothing." Just when Li Cong was about to speak and go back, he heard someone say that. It was Li Cong who wanted to see it. He didn't have a chance before, but now he has a chance. He has to go and see what he wants to see. Seeing that Yang Hao obviously wants to go there too.

"The organizer is really getting more and more greedy for money. Even the forging of a third-class material has to make such a big noise. It is obviously for the purpose of making money. Even the first-class forging in the past probably didn't have as much ostentation as it does now. Yes, but it’s no wonder that some famous blacksmiths don’t come out very often recently, if they make any mistakes in public, it seems that they have lost all their wisdom in this life.” Yang Hao said on the side, he But those who have seen the performances of some refining masters are also interested in this, but they are not interested in hearing the third-class materials. The best ones are those used by seventh-level fighters, and at most it is only two to three hundred million silver. , Nothing to look at, tens of billions or hundreds of billions of good weapons are what I want to see, even if it has nothing to do with me, it’s okay to be able to witness it, besides, this craftsman is still from Ouyang’s family, naturally He was even more reluctant to see what was going on.

"Go and have a look. I'm a layman in this industry. I'm very interested in everything here." Li Cong said with a smile. I went to have a look, and I didn't need to stay outside. Yang Hao took Li Cong to the No. 3 hall that the man said to see what was going on.

Hall No. 3 is the largest hall in the entire exchange meeting, and it can accommodate at least a thousand people. Tickets have already started selling at the door. Only then did Li Cong understand what Yang Hao was talking about. The organization of the meeting Visitors are indeed very good at making money. Everyone who goes in to watch must pay 200 taels of gold, which is 2000 taels of silver. This price is not low, the most popular girl in the eight alleys in the city is a good price for one night, here is where you can have a look, and you can't buy it, if you want to have the right to buy it You have to take out another 200 taels of gold, of course, if you don't pay the money. It’s okay to go in and you want to buy it, but you have to pay ten times the money. That is 2,000 taels of gold. These people have a very good calculation. They also know that their income is directly proportional to whether there is any top quality in it. Everyone will violate this regulation and participate in the auction. If this is the case, the money you earn will be astronomical. Maybe this part of the liquidated damages alone will be worth millions of silver. Back then, it cost millions to buy this exhibition hall to do this. Buying and selling can make a lot of money.

Yang Hao rushed to hand over the money. No matter how you say here, it’s all the territory of the Yang family. How can Li Cong pay for it? Li Cong didn’t like such a small amount of money, so he just walked in. Not everyone next to him has the spare money to go in. Look, many people around the door are blacksmiths, and they also want to go in and observe. They are all low-level blacksmiths, that is, they can make some things for first- and second-level fighters. The work of high-level blacksmiths is also a great way for them to advance, so each of them is also very hardworking. Open your own neck to see if you can see something inside, but unfortunately they can't see anything. The black cloth covered the inside tightly.

"Well, speaking of these people, they are all very pitiful. There may not be many opportunities to see a few high-level blacksmiths working in their lifetime. Their life is really miserable enough. Blacksmiths in this world There are a lot of them, but most of them are guys who can only make low-level things." Yang Hao said after he came in, he also had several blacksmiths in his family. Although they are all low-level, Yang Hao has already seen that they are already in the room at this moment, and they came earlier than him. Seeing Li Cong and Yang Hao coming in, they all greeted warmly, The relationship between these young Yang family children and Yang Qiu is not very good. Yang Qiu had already left the family when they were born, but they are all very close to this brother-in-law who is generous. During the few days in the Yang family, brothers-in-law, big and small, have all received a lot of money. For example, the two boys in front of them usually only have 3000 taels of activity funds per month. Li Cong gave them It's all a red envelope of 100,000 silver, so they are naturally very happy with that much money.

"If you feel sorry for them, I think you can go out and pay those people to let them in. I think they will thank you for the rest of their lives." A boy from the Yang family said, his name is Yang Chuan and Yang Hao. It belongs to cousins, this family has a big business, and dozens of brothers can come out casually, and they don't know how many cousins ​​they have.

"Nonsense, I can handle so many people, I don't bother to talk to you." Yang Hao pointed his middle finger at that kid.

"Okay, my brother-in-law is here. Don't quarrel with each other. It hasn't started yet. Don't put on a good show for others. If this is the case, I think I have to give you the ticket money. The Ouyang family has a strong background this time. Not only did they find out about the material a while ago, but now they also let the blacksmith in their family come out to perform in public. This is a new opportunity for them to do this at this time. Mine to create momentum?" The one who spoke was the older one among them, who can be said to be a good person among the younger generation. This kid is called Yang Hua, and he is not a fuel-efficient lamp. The reason why he Speaking of occasions, they didn't actually want to listen to the opinions of their two brothers. Li Cong is a very powerful person. They mainly wanted to listen to Li Cong's opinions. This old fox would have his own opinions.

"Ouyang's family is very powerful, but they don't get along very well with us. This time they have indeed crossed the line a bit. I heard that the new mine of Ouyang's family has a very large area. The area of ​​a county is large, this guy is really lucky, it is said that first-class materials can appear, so it is a cornucopia, it is also my fault that no one in our Yang family could see it at that time, it was so easy to call them You can get it.” From their conversation, Li Cong knew what was going on, and it turned out that the Yang family also participated in the fast mine at the beginning. In the end, I didn't see any valuables here, and this place became the best mine. The Ouyang family indeed picked up a lot of cheap ones.

Li Cong didn't say a word from the beginning to the end. If he doesn't know these things, it's better not to talk nonsense. This makes Yang Hua a little confused about what is going on in his brother-in-law's mind. It's okay for me, but I just don't help at home. Ouyang's family also has a good relationship with the Magician's Union, if the brother-in-law can go over and have a word. Given the brother-in-law's relationship within the Magician's Guild, they wouldn't go too far, but this brother-in-law didn't say anything, as if he didn't understand anything. Although he felt a little uncomfortable, it was someone else's business and he couldn't do it himself. It's too much, and the family also explained that they should treat Li Cong well.

When the blacksmith Ouyang Xianhe came on stage, many people below stood up unconsciously. To be honest, it's not because of how capable this guy is, but because of the person behind this guy, this is the eldest lady of the Ouyang family, Ouyang Qiu, nicknamed the snake and scorpion, has the same name as Yang Qiu, this woman is not an ordinary person , he is a sharp knife of the Ouyang family. Several Yang family's children were also a little puzzled. Although they were the young masters of the Yang family, their status was not very good. This Ouyang Qiu was at the same level as Yang Qiu. Ouyang Qiu needs to show up, something will definitely happen if he shows up here. Several people began to feel a little uneasy.

This Ouyang Qiu's appearance is not so beautiful, but the sharpness in his eyes makes people shudder. It can be said that it is rare for a woman to have this momentum. Li Cong saw that Ouyang Qiu's figure is pretty good, mainly It's because the skin is very good. Maybe the more than 1,000 people present are now in the mood of Li Cong to observe this woman. Others are guessing what will happen today. Just look at the confused looks on everyone's faces and you'll know what's going on.

Because the appearance of this woman made everyone breathe tensely, not for anything else, because this woman has another identity as a fourth-rank blacksmith, he is already capable of making weapons for eighth-level fighters, eighth-rank There are many first-level fighters, and there may be only a handful of people who make weapons for eighth-level fighters. Although they are not as precious as pharmacists, they are almost the same. Many people say that this woman may not be the most beautiful, but no one can. It's not enough to deny his charisma.

"I've heard that this woman is called the world's richest woman, and I mean the one who earned money by herself." Yang Hao said in a low voice, the expression at this time was really a bit wretched , are also from a big family, but they are star-studded, and I can only be regarded as an ordinary person in a big family. Compared with others, there is no comparison.

"This is natural. I have also heard that the price of this woman's forging is more than twice the material cost, which is much higher than other blacksmiths, but there are still many people who want to find him for work. , There is a reason for this, the possibility of his forging success is much higher than other people." Yang Chuan also said that they had heard a lot about this woman's legend, and the few people were very happy at the moment Discussed up.

This forging has the same chance of damage as alchemy, but it is different from alchemy. Alchemy is that you find the alchemist and give him several copies of materials and prescriptions. He absolutely guarantees that one copy will succeed, if not. He will also find a way to get you one. Generally speaking, it takes ten years. This forging is different. Forging can be made public, and anyone can watch it. If there is any mistake in the middle, it will fail. Now, it is impossible to hold other blacksmiths accountable. This is the difference between the two industries. Blacksmiths don’t talk much about conditions with buyers. There are too many conditions for pharmacists. It is also their gap. Even if the pharmacist is the best, you can find one in these few provinces. This pharmacist is a dragon who can't see the end. If you have the materials, you may not be able to invite someone to get it for you. .

"How much does this woman cost to forge something that can be used by eighth-level fighters?" Ouyang Qiu went down after showing up on the stage. Asked blankly, but the brothers-in-law looked at her obviously a little differently, as if something was wrong if they didn't know her.

"Brother-in-law, you don't even know this. By the way, I forgot. My brother-in-law is a magician. Of course, I don't know much about these things. Warriors are very clear about this. Eighth-level fighters want to find this woman." Once, no matter whether it is successful or not, it must cost 6 million silver. The success is naturally higher. I heard that if this thing has any other functions, the extra will be 10 million silver. , this woman has at least 80% hope every time she makes a move. She seems to be able to earn hundreds of millions of silver a month. This is not the most important thing. Some people say that as long as she succeeds, the forger will owe him a Human favors are valid for life." Yang Hao still knew this woman very well, and from her words, Li Cong also understood the gap between a pharmacist and a blacksmith, ten million silver is really not too much, this pharmacist Casual shots can be much better than others, the gap between the two is really too big.

"Marrying such a woman as a daughter-in-law is the same as marrying a golden mountain. Hundreds of millions of silver are brought into my account every month. My God, these days are too easy." A boy behind said, He overheard what Li Cong and the others were saying just now, and Li Cong and the others just smiled casually at this guy, who really had no ambitions.

Many people in the audience were discussing what was going on, everyone wanted to know, this Ouyang Qiu couldn't just walk around the stage for a couple of laps and be done, this shouldn't be the style of this woman, but No matter what these people are talking about, Ouyang Qiu is still talking and laughing happily with the people next to her in the same old way, but sometimes her eyes will drift over these so-called young talents around, it seems that no one can satisfy her Yes, but when she saw Li Cong, she smiled and nodded to Li Cong. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation. )
