Chapter 337 The Big Business of 7 Gold Days (Page 12)
One by one, they propose what they need, and then depending on the situation, some choose to bid, and some choose to wait and see.
For example, Li Qi was the one who waited and watched from beginning to end but did not bid.
Soon he arrived at a person sitting on Li Qi's left side.
Long silver-white hair was exposed from under the cloak, and the black cloak could not hide Qi's slim and tall figure.
When he spoke, his voice was also pleasant: "I want to form a team, at least all of them are extraordinary people."
"How much are you willing to pay?" a woman asked.
The woman Li Qiji spoke about had a northern accent and a tall figure.
They should be northern pirates or mercenaries.
There was a chill in his body from beginning to end.
"I don't have money," the silver-haired woman said awkwardly, "but as long as you can go back, you can get endless wealth. There are treasures accumulated over thousands of years."
Draw a big pie.
Li Qi was uninterested.
If you really have endless wealth as a foundation, you should at least have some money on hand.
The same goes for everyone else. We are all adults and are realistic. Even if we really have a thousand-year treasure, we still have to put down a deposit first.
Seeing that no one was interested, the silver-haired woman added another emphasis: "I'm not asking you to die with me. I just want to go back and get something. The total time it takes will definitely not exceed three months!"
It's a pity that her words have no appeal at all.
The silver-haired woman sighed and fell silent helplessly.
The topic soon turned to Li Qi.
Seeing everyone looking at him, Li Qi didn't even think about hiding his thoughts. He came here without concealing his identity just to bid publicly.
Your identity as a lord can make more people trust you. If you can escape, the lord cannot escape the territory.
He said: "I want rare things, the more, the better! The more gold, sun, silver and moon, the better! Also, do any of you know the training methods of extraordinary people? You can set the price as you like... Well, I hope the price is fair. most!"
The silent man sitting on the right side of Li Qi said: "I can help you find rare objects and give you enough money. But I want your iron pipe weapons."
It seems that he was attracted by his own musket.
Li Qi glanced at the other party and said, "I won't sell it!"
Currently, I only have muskets that can be used as my trump card. Although muskets are updated very quickly, and it is not difficult for others to copy them, the longer they can be preserved, the longer they will last.
Seeing Li Qi's straightforward refusal, the man on the right fell silent and stopped talking.
Heituanzi, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke: "I have the training method you need, but it is difficult for ordinary people to practice it and it requires a lot of perseverance."
Sure enough, there is a training method!
Li Qi's eyes lit up: "What do you want?"
Heituanzi did not answer directly.
The figure who had been sitting next to Heituanzi turned sideways, and Heituanzi immediately bent over.
I don’t know what they were talking about. After a few seconds, Heituanzi sat upright and said, "Then let me tell you about our requirements. If you can meet them, we can also come up with enough rare objects and Treasure completes the transaction and you will never suffer a loss!"
Li Qi's eyes kept moving back and forth between the two people, one large and one small. After he roughly understood the relationship between the two parties, he nodded: "What are you thinking about?"
"Five million pounds of grain!"
Li Qi's fingers suddenly twitched.
How many? 500 million pounds? !
The output of the entire Porcupine Ridge includes crops such as wheat, corn, and potatoes, as well as biological control technologies such as wasps to prevent pests, dogs to use mice to prevent voles, as well as composting, loose soil, magic retting to moisten the soil, waterwheels and canals for irrigation, etc. etc., and thousands of manpower were expended, the final total harvest would probably be less than 400 million pounds of grain.
These grains can barely feed 1 people, and this requires farming, hunting, fishing, etc. to fill the gap. Otherwise, just eating grains, 3-400 million pounds of grains, will only starve to death.
Not to mention that Li Qi also used part of it to make wine to earn higher profits.
500 million pounds of grain, even if the entire porcupine collar does not eat or drink, it still cannot be provided!
As for the price, according to the grain prices that Li Qi has learned so far, the price of ordinary refined wheat is about 5 copper stars per pound. After all, the weather this year has been a bit dry. From the Chinese New Year to now, there has not been a few decent rains in the entire East Gorge.
In many places, grain is not irrigated by canals like porcupines, so it is inevitable that grain prices will rise.
The most common, unhulled oats, rye, etc., cost around 2-3 bronze stars per pound.
Considering the shortage of food, the more you buy, the price will not be cheaper, but will be higher.
Calculated based on 3 bronze stars per pound, 1 million pounds would cost at least 500 gold days!
The business was a bit astonishing, but Li Qi was not happy.
Because he just heard Heituanzi and the others saying that they would exchange for rare items and treasures.
In other words, they cannot afford 7 gold days.
Li Qi needs rare items, but he cannot escape 7 gold days.
Even if he really wants to trade, based on his relationship with other nobles, he can buy some grain from Sanchahe, Shuijiandi, Green Forest Castle, Donggang City and other places, and tighten his belt, and he can get up to 100 million pounds. .
He hesitated for a moment and said: "You can't find anyone in the entire kingdom who can directly provide 500 million pounds of grain."
Some lords will definitely have 500 million pounds of grain in their granaries, but if all this grain is really taken out, the territory will only collapse.
Suddenly something moved in his mind and he asked, "Is meat okay?"
"Five million pounds of meat?"
Heituanzi sat up straight.
Others also looked at Li Qi in horror. Even 500 million pounds of grain could not be brought out. Meat seemed to be even more difficult.
And the price of meat is higher.
Heituanzi looked at the person next to him, who nodded gently.
"Okay!" Heituanzi said immediately: "But we hope to have more food. Meat is too perishable."
"Don't worry," Li Qi said, "I will definitely give you enough meat...and enough food."
He changed his voice and said: "But I want to collect the money first. You all know who I am, so you don't have to be afraid of me running away. But I can't afford the cost of taking out so many things at once."
Heituanzi: "..."
You just said yourself that you would never reveal your identity, and now you say it again, you all know who I am.
Heituanzi didn't know whether he should continue to pretend not to know, because Baron Porcupine was really not following the routine.
The thin figure sitting next to Heituanzi nodded.
Heituanzi immediately said: "Tomorrow, everything will be handed over to you directly."
Li Qi thought to himself: "It seems that it is really hard to be so decisive."
Then the man in black on Li Qi's right spoke.
Just now he tried to spend money to buy Reacher's musket.
He said directly: "I need someone to help me fight a winning battle."
"How much?" someone asked. It's the woman with the northern accent.
