Chapter 132
The four people's eyes lit up. Ah Huang actually had a way to know who was buying things from Huang Shang's store.
Yang Wei was the first to speak out:
"Ah Huang, you still have a way. If you need anything, just ask."
"Yeah, tell me what to do, Ah Huang."
Seeing that everyone was waiting for him to speak, Ah Huang raised the corners of his mouth and said slowly:
"It's simple, reward!"
"We just need to scroll through the regional chat and keep posting bounty messages."
"As long as any survivor can provide his purchase record at Huang Shang's store, we will give him an iron ingot."
"If 1 yuan is not enough, then 10 yuan."
"10 yuan is not enough, then 50 yuan."
"I believe that if someone buys it, these people will contact us privately."
After hearing Ah Huang's method, Yang Wei frowned and said:
"What if Huang Shang found someone to buy his own items, or someone he was particularly close to bought them?"
"For example, his two women or other assistants, they will not be affected by our reward."
"Haha." Ah Huang curled his lips and said calmly:
"This is the most unlikely."
"First, you must have a motive to do anything. I can't think of any benefits he can get from doing this."
"Second, even if Huang Shang wants to find people around him to buy items from his store."
"He also needs a large amount of basic materials such as iron ore and sand first."
"We have been collecting iron ore these days, and no one else has collected these materials in the trading market."
"So, the situation you mentioned is impossible."
After hearing this, Yang Wei was completely convinced of Ah Huang's method, clapped his hands and said:
"Then do it, let's post the reward now."
…
Spark, in the workshop on the first floor.
Rong Ming had moved his bed into the workroom, and he decided to sleep here at night.
Seeing that all the iron ingots hanging out were sold out, Rong Ming looked at the ten furnaces in front of him with a frown.
"It takes 3 minutes to smelt an iron ingot, and 10 furnaces can produce 200 iron ingots in one hour."
"But these two hundred iron ingots were sold out in just ten minutes."
"This output can't keep up at all."
"I wonder if Mr. Huang is asleep now and can he make more furnaces."
"Although this workshop is already full, it can also be placed in the cabin or on the deck."
Thinking of this, Rong Ming opened the friend system and sent a message to Huang Shang.
[Rong Ming: Mr. Huang, are you asleep? There are not enough furnaces. Can we make more? 】
…
Spark, in the master bedroom on the second floor of the living area.
Huang Shang, who had been busy for two hours, finally lay down.
Looking at Su Yan, who was exhausted and sleeping in his arms, Huang Shang raised the corners of his mouth and was still excited.
Su Yan is indeed a gifted charmer, and her talent is too strong.
Thinking of wonderful things, Huang Shang slowly fell into a deep sleep.
…
[Regional chat, current number of people, 6710]
…
"Yang Wei: Anyone who bought iron ingots at Huang Shang's store last night can exchange for an iron ingot from me as long as they provide the transaction record."
"Wow! Is there such a good thing?"
"Who can tell me why transaction records can be exchanged for 1 iron ingot?"
"Because Mr. Huang's store has been selling iron ingots at high prices, and there are still many people buying them, which is completely against common sense."
"I see."
Ten minutes later...
"Yang Wei: Anyone who bought iron ingots at Huang Shang's store last night can exchange 10 iron ingots with me as long as they provide the transaction record."
"Wow! Ten iron ingots! Is it too late for me to buy them now?"
"Upstairs, take a look. They are talking about last night's transaction records. You definitely can't buy it now."
Ten minutes later...
"Yang Wei: Anyone who bought iron ingots at Huang Shang's store last night can exchange 50 iron ingots with me as long as they provide the transaction record."
"Wow, the transaction record can be exchanged for 50 iron ingots!"
"All my worth can only be exchanged for 20 iron ingots."
"Why are their bounties getting higher and higher?"
"It looks like no one can provide transaction records."
"Then who bought the iron ingots from Mr. Huang's shop?"
"It's scary to think about it!"
"Why do I feel that Mr. Huang will be the winner in the end?"
"I think the problem lies with Mr. Huang's store."
"Aren't you talking nonsense? You should tell me the specific reasons."
…
On top of the armored sailing ship.
Yang Wei and others sat together around a stone table.
Looking at the regional chat information, Yang Wei looked ugly. The current situation was completely beyond their imagination.
They have raised the reward to 50 iron ingots, but no one can provide a transaction record.
Although it was already 1 o'clock in the morning, there were still thousands of people active in the entire area chat.
Maybe some people who bought it fell asleep, but it can't be that everyone who bought it fell asleep.
The only possibility is that no one in this area bought iron ore at a high price from Huang Shang's store last night.
What the hell is going on here?
Yang Wei turned his attention to Ah Huang, hoping that Ah Huang could answer his doubts, but found that Ah Huang also looked solemn.
Seeing everyone looking at him, Ah Huang took a deep breath and expressed his guess:
"If it wasn't someone from our sea area who bought it, I can only think of one possibility."
"Huang Shang's shop can sell items to people from other sea areas."
"Other sea areas may not have opened the furnace blueprint yet, so Huang Shang's high price is still in short supply."
"How is it possible!!" Yang Wei was shocked and exclaimed.
If Huang Shang could sell the goods directly to survivors from other sea areas, who would be his opponent.
Relying on the shop to directly collect resources from other sea areas, the gap between us and him will become larger and larger.
Isn't this cheating?
"No other possibility?" Others also asked.
"No." Ah Huang frowned and shook his head slowly.
After recovering from his shock, Yang Wei showed a trace of fear on his face, his voice trembled, and said:
"What should we do? Now that we have offended him, are we still going to fight a price war?"
"Fight a fart." Ah Huang glanced at Yang Wei. Why is this guy still thinking about going against Huang Shang?
Before, they decided to squeeze out Huang Shang because they wanted to monopolize the iron ingot market.
If possible, it would be best to build a giant ship and kill Huang Shang.
Now it is obviously impossible to curb Huang Shang's development. Wouldn't it be a dead end to oppose him?
Thinking of this, Ah Huang said:
"First, we must show weakness to the enemy and apologize to Huang Shang immediately. Whether Huang Shang agrees or not, we must express our attitude."
"Otherwise, if Huang Shang gets angry and dumps iron ingots at a low price, our development plan will be seriously hindered."
"Second, we have to find a way to figure out how Huang Shang got his store."
"How did he get the identity of a pirate captain."
"Wei Ge, you are the only one who has Huang Shang as a friend, so you should contact Huang Shang."
