It's the cyber age now, and you're still playing traditional villains?

Purchase Poseidon Stone at a high price.

"What is this?"

Soon someone stopped and looked at the sign for a long time with a puzzled look on his face. "I can't read it, can you read it to me?"

"can."

The person in charge of the trading station nodded, and said calmly but loudly, "We will buy the Sea God Stone at a high price."

"What is Poseidon Stone?"

The plain middle-aged man tilted his head.

"This is it."

The person in charge took out a sample and said, "I heard that this is the crystal that was formed when the sea god fell... Here, there is a specific price. According to the standard of one hundred grams per piece, this white one is worth 50 silver coins, the blue one is worth 5 gold coins, and this dark blue one is worth 50 gold coins."

"This little stone is worth so much money?!"

The middle-aged man's eyes widened after hearing this. Wow, this is not a small amount!

The Hualan Empire used gold, silver and copper coins, with a standard simple conversion method of 1 gold coin to 100 silver coins and 1000 copper coins. However, for ordinary people, a month's income was only around 10 silver coins, and gold coins were rarely seen in the middle and lower class markets. They were usually only used more by the upper class.

So this price is really scary. The worst Poseidon Stone can be equivalent to their income for nearly half a year. If there really is a deep blue Poseidon Stone, it is no exaggeration to say that they can become rich overnight!

“Well, that’s the price.”

The person in charge confirmed it and answered seriously, "Of course we will weigh it, and we also have some professional testing methods..."

The middle-aged man didn't listen to what he said afterwards. His mind was full of gold coins... My goodness, this opportunity only comes once in a century, right?

The only problem is that he doesn't have the Seagod Stone, hiss...

"What can this thing do? What do you want to do with it?"

Gradually more and more people gathered around, and some of them were a little more sober and asked this question out of curiosity.

"I'm not sure about this either. We are sent by the higher branch and we just follow their orders."

The person in charge explained, "But I think it might be used to make handicrafts? I heard that many nobles in the empire like this kind of stone very much... Here."

As he spoke, he pointed to the shelf, on which were placed several ornaments made of Poseidon Stone. The whole thing fit together perfectly, and the light blue glow was extremely beautiful.

Naturally, no one would think there was anything wrong with such an explanation. Noble gentlemen do like luxury. They would even have gold rims on the wheels of their carriages... They would actually pay for such flashy things.

As the logic was self-consistent, the onlookers also began to discuss it in twos and threes.

The most talked about thing is of course where to get the Poseidon Stone... It sounds plausible, but no one has it, so we can only watch and worry.

at this time.

"Give one, give one, give one!"

Someone squeezed into the crowd and took out a stone from his arms, "Look, buddy, is this it?"

The person in charge took the stone, turned around and went in to carefully taste it, and then gave the answer, "Yes, it is this kind of Poseidon Stone."

"But your piece is not very big, and the quality is not very good, so it is only worth 340 silver coins. Do you want to sell it to us?"

"No way, mine is obviously as big as the one you showed!"

The man was delighted when he heard that, but he was still a little reluctant, "The color needs to be darker... Can you add a little more to make it even, three hundred and fifty?"

"No sir, we have clear rules here... Oh, forget it."

The person in charge looked embarrassed, but he relaxed after seeing the crowd around him. "You are the first seller. I am in charge. I will pay for it myself. I will give you 10 more silver coins. You can't do that next time."

"Okay, okay, thank you, thank you!"

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, the man stopped and nodded repeatedly, thus concluding the deal.

Soon, a heavy cloth bag was handed to him. The mouth of the bag was slightly open, emitting a faint silver-white light.

Now the spectators are even more uneasy. If they had any concerns before, they are gone now.

Other things can be fake, but can money be fake?

Not to mention having them, most people here may have never seen so many silver coins!

Some even approached the seller and asked, "Brother, where did you get this stone?"

"I……"

The man pursed his lips, obviously not wanting to say anything.

But under the eager eyes of the crowd, he couldn't stand it for too long, and finally reluctantly let it go, "This was given to me by the army."

"army?"

"Yes, I am a militiaman. I was summoned to fight against the Sea God before. Luckily, I survived. I was told there would be a big reward. In the end, I was only given two coins and these broken stones..."

Speaking of this, the man couldn't help but complain, "Originally I said that he was dishonest and used this kind of thing to fool us... Now at least we can sell it for some money, so that's it."

He didn't want to say more and left quickly before more people gathered around him.

But everyone has heard the news—the imperial soldiers should have the goods!

The armed forces of the Hualan Empire, in addition to the knights of the aristocratic class, also include some militiamen who can be called up when needed. Of course, many knights are called aristocrats, but in fact they are not necessarily wealthy, and there are some who have to eat coarse food despite their titles.

But no matter what, now that they have received this information, they have to act - the nobles may not be able to be contacted, but for them, as long as they dig deeper, they can always find the militia who are related to them!

What we need to do now is very simple. Before the news spreads, we must quickly get the Poseidon Stone from them!

"Everyone, please don't block here."

The person in charge also gave a timely reminder, "If you have the Sea God Stone, we certainly welcome you, but if you don't have it, don't stand here and block the way."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone scattered like birds and beasts.

That’s not a good thing. Why are you standing there like an idiot if you don’t hurry up and get some stones? What if you show up too late and people don’t want them?

Of course, there are also people who hold the opposite attitude.

"Sixth Brother, I remember that your third aunt's sons are all in the army? They should have these stones in their hands... We can buy as many as we can with our money, but don't rush to sell them. Let's wait and see."

"Of course you can buy it, I don't have that much money...but why wait?"

"Are you stupid? I don't think the price of Poseidon's Stone will remain fixed. Maybe the news hasn't spread among the nobles yet... If they want more, the price may go up! Even if we sell it, it's better to sell part of it first. If the price goes up, we can make more money! Even if it doesn't go up, we can still sell it later!"

"That makes some sense... I'll just listen to you!"

……

"How's the situation?"

Looking at the silly disciple in front of him who was serious, Xu Shi, who was in charge of Yinsong Island, asked with a smile.

"It's pretty much what you thought, Master."

Pan Ling answered seriously, "The price you offered is not low. Some people have already started trading Poseidon Stone privately."

"now it's right."

Xu Shi nodded with satisfaction. The trading methods of the Hualan Empire were not very developed, and the so-called stock market was not perfect either.

In this case, once such a system is introduced, it will indeed cause considerable fluctuations.

"What's next?"

asked the silly apprentice.

"Do as you planned. Ask your sister Xingchuan to get some Poseidon Stones, not too much, and then put them on the market little by little according to the proportion, so that they will have more trading options."

Xu Shi took a sip of tea and said slowly, "As for how to make this thing more popular in high society, you should have figured out the solution, right?"

"Well... what I'm thinking is that just making it into a decoration may not be very effective. Why not tell them that carrying the Seagod Stone with them can increase their strength and prolong their life?"

Pan Ling frowned her cute little brows, thought about it, and tentatively gave an idea.

Xu Shi smiled even more happily.

All he could say was that a young man could be taught. Since he had said that Pan Ling would be the one to do this, he certainly wouldn't interfere too much, unless his silly apprentice's behavior was too outrageous.

But when she showed him her plan, to be honest, she was a little surprised, because it was not much different from his original idea!

I've said before that so-called futures and stock markets are not mature here, but Pan Ling's proposal just contained such a plan... I have to say that the silly apprentice is not silly at all, and he has obviously thought about it for a long time.

In this case, all he needs to do is polish it. As long as the details are improved a little bit, he can use it directly, and there will be absolutely no problem.

For example, finding a stand-in or something... Obviously more effort can be put into this aspect. It would be a huge failure if people could see that it's fake at first glance. For this reason, Xu Shi even specially trained those actors, and the feedback he received was indeed good.

Pan Ling’s idea of ​​opening up sales in the upper class is also very good - since it is said that it is the favorite of aristocratic gentlemen, then of course they must be really brought in.

This is not difficult to achieve - after all, Silver Pine Island has some upper-class connections. For example, Miss Xiaomei, with her identity, may not be able to get in touch with nobles of too high a level, but it is very convenient for her to get in touch with the numerous barons, including their servants.

As long as the word spreads from them, there will be no problem at all. Common slogans for health products such as "prolong life" and "enhance strength" are indeed effective.

Not to mention that Poseidon stone itself is beautiful, and its high ductility and plasticity allow it to be easily formed into various shapes.

Of course, the best thing is that the royal family chose to use this thing as a reward for the soldiers - when they heard the news, they were so happy, because this would undoubtedly make it easier for Poseidon Stone to circulate in the market, right?

But if you think about it carefully, you can know the cause and effect. It is obvious that the Holy See and the royal family have indeed studied this thing, and they must have known that this thing is a bit useless. It is not very useful but not completely useless. So they just put it to good use... This is the spoils of the conquest of the sea god. What? Are you not convinced by taking it as a reward?

What we need to do now is to put more goods on the market, otherwise it will be difficult to expand the market. As for the price, of course we have to develop according to the situation of some conservatives and adjust the price upwards.

Yes, it is manually controlled. Anyway, he has no shortage of gold and silver. He brought a lot when he came... If it is really not enough, he can continue to transport it from the Night Sin City. They are on standby there at any time.

"Oh, by the way, I also set up some warehouses and pawnshops in the main city in advance to store the goods they want to sell."

Pan Ling added another sentence.

Facts have proved that her consideration was really thoughtful. Where would the working people get so much cash?

Many people will certainly raise funds in pursuit of profit, such as using livestock or something to cash in... Of course, this part must also be controlled by themselves.

"It feels like you're almost a disciple, huh?"

Xu Shi was really satisfied with Pan Ling's performance and praised her from the bottom of his heart.

"No, it's all because of what the master taught me..."

Being praised by him, Miss Xiaoling was naturally happy and said modestly with a smile.

But then again, if the master is a bad master, then shouldn’t we say that what he taught me was “bad”?

But this doesn’t sound right either... Never mind, just understand the meaning, why bother with so many things?

"Since you know this, why don't you come and give me a shoulder massage?"
