"How's the situation in the two neighboring counties?”
Fuan Inn.
Upon hearing the commotion of his entourage returning, Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang hurriedly went out to welcome him.
Today, they went to another village in Gaoxian County, but they still found nothing.
The new county magistrate was too ruthless. He didn't even leave a single pine mushroom for them and took it all away. Therefore, they placed their hopes on the other two counties.
"Master, the other two counties are the same. The things have been taken away by the county magistrate of Gaoxian County. The price he offered was 20% higher than ours.”One of the followers said angrily.
Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang instantly felt as if their hearts had been stabbed.
If they had known that this would happen, they would have come earlier this year. They were willing to pay 50% more, let alone 20%.
That was because if these things were transported to the Central Plains and sold to those noble lords, the profit would be ten or twenty times!
This place was remote. The local people did not know the true use of things like deer antler, tiger bones, and ginseng. They only needed to spend one or two hundred baht, or even dozens of baht to receive it.
However, if they sold it in the Central Plains, they could sell it for a high price of 2,000 to 5,000!
Therefore, these years, they had earned a lot by collecting mountain products.
How could they not hate someone who had suddenly cut off their source of income?
"Who is this new county magistrate? He's too ruthless. He doesn't even leave us any way out.”Zhang Shiping hated the new county magistrate whom he had never met.
The things they collected were the most in the three northern counties of Xuantu County. They were of the highest quality and could be sold at a good price.
Other than that, they could only go to Goguryeo and Sanhan to purchase the items.
That was a place ruled by foreign races. Not only was the cost higher, but the danger was also higher. If they had just started out, they might have taken the risk.
But now, they had a big family and business. They were definitely not willing to go again.
Su Shuang frowned and thought for a while." Brother Zhang, perhaps this new county magistrate is targeting us.”
"If I'm not wrong, he took these things in advance to raise the price and sell them to us. Then, he would make profits from the middle.”
"What a cunning county magistrate!" Zhang Shiping gritted his teeth.
"Isn't he afraid that we'll give up on this batch of goods? In that case, the goods would rot in his hands and he would lose a lot of money!”
Su Shuang smiled bitterly." If we don't accept it, we'll lose even more.
Don't forget that several noble lords in Luoyang have given us the deposit. If we can't take out the goods, what do you think will happen to us?”
Zhang Shiping shivered.
If they broke their promise to those nobles, the consequences would be unbearable.
"Let's go and find that county magistrate. I hope he won't go too far.”Su Shuang sighed helplessly.
At the county magistrate's office,
Xiao Cheng came to the backyard." Young Master, there are two businessmen who claim to be from Zhongshan.”
Xiao Rang smiled." Let them in."”
He tidied his clothes and went to the living room.
"I am Zhang Shiping/Su Shuang. Greetings, Magistrate.”Two well-dressed, plump middle-aged men bowed slightly to Xiao Rang.
"May I know why you two gentlemen are looking for me?”Xiao Rang said.
He knew the answer!
Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang felt their livers hurt as they glared at Xiao Rang.
"It's like this. I heard that Lord Xiao bought some worthless mountain products and game from the villagers. There are so many adults here, and you can't finish them all by yourself. Why don't you sell them to us?”Su Shuang said politely.
Xiao Rang's lips curled up and he said mockingly," Not valuable? Why do I feel that they are very valuable?”
Their hearts twitched violently. They realized that this county magistrate was not easy to deal with. It seemed that he was more black-hearted than they had imagined.
"I can sell it to you, but you have to offer me a price that will tempt me.”Xiao Rang said with a smile.
"Naturally." " Yes." Su Shuang nodded and was mentally prepared to bleed." We're willing to pay 50% more than what you've bought.”
They felt that Xiao Rang could earn 50% of the profits just by selling it, which was already a huge advantage. There was no reason to refuse.
However, unexpectedly, Xiao Rang shook his head.
She rejected him very straightforwardly." If this is your sincerity, I think our cooperation can be terminated here.”
The two of them were stunned.
Su Shuang gritted her teeth." Lord Xiao, name your price."”
Xiao Rang raised a finger with a strange smile.
Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang heaved a sigh of relief." Alright, we'll buy all your goods at double the price.”
"Not one time, ten times." Xiao Rang said with a calm expression.
Their faces turned as black as charcoal as they glared at Xiao Rang.
If looks could kill, Xiao Rang would already be dead.
"Lord Xiao, we came to you with sincerity, but isn't the price you raised too high?”Su Shuang gritted his teeth and said.
"Sir, you are too greedy. These goods were worthless in Youzhou Province. If you don't sell it to us, I'm afraid you'll lose everything.”Zhang Shiping was also a little angry.
Are you really a county magistrate?
Why did it feel like he was doing business with an extremely black-hearted businessman?
"Indeed, these items are worthless in Youzhou Province. However, if it was sold to rich places like Luoyang, Xuzhou, and Yangzhou, the price could be increased by 20 to 30 times. I'll sell it to you at ten times the price. That's already my greatest sincerity. If you think that the price is too high, I can give this opportunity to other businessmen. Youzhou and Jizhou did not lack powerful merchants.”
Xiao Rang's words made the two of them lose their temper.
Mountain products were easy to store. If they didn't buy them, Xiao Rang would have enough time to contact other merchants.
At that time, not only would they lose an opportunity to earn money, but they would also have to offend the nobles of Luoyang City and suffer their anger!
Therefore, no matter how black-hearted Xiao Rang was, they could only choose to compromise!
P.S. It's the third watch! Brothers, the flowers haven't bloomed all day. I'm panicking. He didn't know if everyone had given the flower to someone else, or if they were raising the book, or if they had simply abandoned the book. Feeling uneasy
