Chapter 120 Boss Liu Almost all businesses in Kyushu can be seen in Luoyang City, and naturally swords and weapons are also popular your martial arts skills are low, swords are better than bare hands. What's more, there are rich kids in Luoyang City who like to collect swords. Therefore, the price of the Blood Shadow Sword was surprisingly high, with some merchants offering five thousand taels and some offering six thousand taels. There’s no way, the Blood Shadow Sword is too cool! Since it can be sold at a high price, Shi Feizhe decided to go to a few more businesses to ask. Compare prices from three different stores and you won’t suffer any loss. After visiting several shops, Shi Feizhe had an idea in mind. Then he saw an acquaintance and followed him into a rather elegant shop. As soon as you enter the store, you can smell a faint scent of incense in the air. On the walls hang several paintings and calligraphy by famous artists, with vigorous brushwork and profound artistic conception, adding a touch of elegance to the place. In the middle of the store is a beautifully carved chair, with symmetrical guest chairs on both sides, all covered with embroidered cushions. The backs of the chairs are carved with plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, in great detail. On the table to the right of the store, the four treasures of the study are neatly arranged: pen, ink, paper, and inkstone. Several exquisite brushes are hung on the pen holder. In the corner of the store, there is a small bookshelf filled with various classic ancient books and poems. Next to the bookshelf, a pot of green asparagus fern grows quietly, adding a touch of vitality to the business.
It doesn't look like a business, but more like a study, highlighting the word "pretentious". Guan Shan looked a little restrained. He was in the lower class and was easily suppressed by such an aura. But Shi Feizhe was very calm. Wasn't it just packaging himself and raising his own value? I have seen this kind of method many times in my previous life. Since the business is open, given the decoration style, the business volume will not be less than a few thousand taels. "I am so destined to meet you, my distinguished guest!" Shopkeeper Liu said to Shi Feizhe with emotion while sitting in the main seat. "Nice to meet you! I didn't expect to see Manager Liu again after more than a month!" Shi Feizhe said with emotion as he looked at the slightly plump and easy-going Manager Liu. The last time I saw this guy was in the Mobei Desert. He wanted to pay five hundred taels to buy the Blood Shadow Sword. He was even so generous as to give away a pot of water and two boxes of medicine. "Did you come to Luoyang to sell the Blood Shadow Sword?" Shopkeeper Liu said when he saw the sword behind Shi Feizhe. "That's right! I wonder how many taels Manager Liu is willing to pay today? Still five hundred taels?" Shi Feizhe said with a smile. "Your Excellency is wrong!" Manager Liu signaled the servants in the store to serve some good tea, and then continued, "I am not the manager now, but the boss!" "Oh? Then congratulations, Boss Liu!" Shi Feizhe said with a wry smile. "Although I'm the boss, I'm working for the boss!" Boss Liu said, "It's rare to work for the boss without getting into trouble. Back then in the Mobei Desert, the Blood Shadow Sword was indeed worth five hundred taels. But in Luoyang City, it's different." He thought for a moment and said, "Five thousand taels!" Yuzhou was originally the base camp of the Central Plains Demon Sect. A month ago, Hua Chonglang defeated Yuan Jiuchong but was defeated by his own son Hua Xiaochen. For a time, Hua Xiaochen was the most popular person and he was forcibly made the leader of the Demon Sect. Then he began to integrate the major forces in Yuzhou. Now, he has changed from the shopkeeper of Liu's Trading Company to the boss of a trading company affiliated with the Hua family. Both of them are employees who earn money for others. "Someone offered seven thousand taels, but I didn't sell it!" said Shi Feizhe. "Seven thousand taels is already a high price! If you don't want to sell it now, when will you wait?" said Boss Liu. "Goodbye!" Seeing that he didn't make an offer, Shi Feizhe turned around and left without saying anything else.
"Wait..." Seeing that Shi Feizhe was about to leave the door, he hurriedly shouted: "Dear guest, wait a minute, I offer 7,500 taels, which is the highest price in the whole Luoyang!" "What about this night sword?" Shi Feizhe took out the night sword and waved it gently. While waving it, the night sword flashed and dimmed, like two swords intertwined together. "Four thousand taels!" Boss Liu casually quoted a price! "Deal!" Shi Feizhe agreed without hesitation. Seven thousand five hundred taels was indeed the highest price in Luoyang City, and four thousand taels for Night Blade was a reasonable price. Boss Liu was delighted, and then he heard Shi Feizhe say, "But I want gold!" 白银与铜币是九州的流通货币，黄金对白银的比例在1:12~1:14之间。而洛阳因为商业流动，大量的黄金涌入，就属于1：12的那个地方。 In some places, economic liquidity is poor, with less gold and more silver, so the exchange rate is 1:14 or even lower. Different places have different exchange rates for gold and silver. As for some people who exchange silver for gold and go to some places to exchange it, a small amount of people can't make any money at all, and a large amount of people have a lot of expenses for food and horse fodder. What's more, there is the risk of being robbed. Unless you are a Zhoutian warrior like Shi Feizhe, who carries hundreds of kilograms of gold with him, ordinary people really don't dare to carry so much money. Money really is a great motivator! Eleven thousand five hundred taels of silver, converted into gold, is less than one thousand taels of gold. One pound is sixteen taels, which is also sixty pounds of gold. Shi Feizhe melted the gold into gold bricks, which looked like a big brick in his hand! This is why there is so much gold in Luoyang. It is really easy to carry. If it's more than ten thousand taels of silver, you need to find a carriage to carry it! As for the silver bills... Jiuzhou does not have such a powerful force that can issue or guarantee silver bills. With such power, it would be great to unify the nine provinces. Why would we need to issue silver notes? Originally, when Manager Liu heard that Shi Feizhe wanted gold, he was a little unhappy, because if he exchanged silver for gold, wouldn't the money house make the money? Letting others make money is more painful than killing them! Later I thought that he was not from Liu's Trading Company, but from the Hua family. The Hua family has their own bank, so this wave of transfers is just like transferring money from one hand to the other! So he quickly helped Shi Feizhe and the others melt the gold into gold bricks, and then sent Shi Feizhe and the others away with a smile. A famous sword like the Blood Shadow Sword might double in price if some story is told to hype it up! When the price of the Blood Shadow Sword is raised, I will give it to the city lord as a gift in exchange for greater benefits. This is the way to maximize the benefits! How much money can it be sold for if it is sold to the playboys in the city? In the past, their Liu's Trading Company had established connections in various cities in this way, but now... he is a member of the Hua family. Thinking back to when that old bastard surnamed Wang came to check the accounts not long ago, and relied on his status as an elder in the Hua family to give orders and extort money, it was really infuriating! Forget it, just finish this year’s assessment and lie down. Boss Liu sighed and returned to the company helplessly.
A person named Liu makes money for a person named Hua, what a big deal! After Shi Feizhe finished all his business in Luoyang, he bought some dry food and clothes and prepared to leave the city. "Dean Shi, where are we going?" Guan Shan asked as he followed Shi Feizhe out of Luoyang. Looking back at the peaceful Luoyang, Shi Feizhe said, "We'll go wherever there's a destiny!" "Fate, it's indescribable!" Shi Feizhe: Everyone says I'm a jinx, but Luoyang is doing fine! It's worthy of being a big city with three real people in charge! (This chapter is too watery, sorry!)
