74 No Cost Business, To gain something without risking anything of one’s own!
....After everyone sat down, Wang Xiao immediately saw Lin Xiang’s ugly expression. He chuckled and asked despite knowing the answer, “What’s wrong, Manager Lin? Are you feeling unwell?”
“N-no.”
Lin Xiang forced a smile and looked at everyone. He said with a hidden meaning, “Mr. Wang came specially to discuss cooperation today, but I didn’t take good care of him. I feel that I’ve neglected my duty.”
When he said the word “specially”, Lin Xiang deliberately emphasized it. He meant that Wang Xiao had specially come to find him and was telling the others to be tactful and not cause trouble.
The dozen or so supply lords had been in business for many years and naturally could understand what Lin Xiang was implying. However, with such a huge temptation like the Black Gold Ore in front of them, they all tacitly pretended not to understand.
Only He Dazhi was a little dissatisfied with Lin Xiang’s actions of wanting to monopolize it. He laughed strangely and said sarcastically, “In that case, I have to thank Manager Lin for your negligence. Otherwise, we would have brushed past Mr. Wang!”
The other supplier lords roared with laughter. Lin Xiang immediately felt a little embarrassed. His expression darkened and he said coldly, “Mr. He, on account of our many years of cooperation, I’ll respect you, but don’t think our Lord’s Shop is easy to bully!”
“Why? Are you already starting to use the name of the Lord’s Shop to suppress others?”
He Dazhi sneered and retorted mercilessly, “I remember that you haven’t signed a contract, right?”
“Without a contract, these things belong to Mr. Wang. He can sell them to whoever he wants! Does your Lord’s Shop still want to forcefully buy and sell?!”
“You!”
Lin Xiang’s face revealed anger, but he could not say a word because he had indeed not signed a contract with Wang Xiao unless he dared to admit that the Lord’s Shop was a bully in the market. However, this was clearly impossible.
Seeing that the hostility between the two of them was getting stronger and stronger, Wang Xiao finally said, “Everyone, don’t be anxious. We’re friends after knowing each other. If there’s anything, we can discuss slowly!”
He Dazhi was straightforward. Moreover, he had basically fallen out with Lin Xiang. He simply said directly, “Mr. Wang, I’m an unrefined person and don’t beat around the bush! I want the [Black Gold Ore]. You can name the price!”
With someone taking the lead, the other supply lords also followed. Some made their own bids, while others asked Wang Xiao to make a bid. In short, they were definitely going to get the Black Gold Ore.
Wang Xiao listened patiently until everyone was done. Then, he looked at Lin Xiang, who had been silent the entire time. “Manager Lin, aren’t you going to say something?”
“Mr. Wang, you must be joking.”
Lin Xiang spread his hands unhappily. “The production of these two resources is very small, and there are so many people here who want them. Unless I offer a high price with the wealth of the Lord’s Shop, what chance do I have of winning?”
“How will you know if you don’t try?”
Wang Xiao revealed a meaningful smile. “Aside from this batch of goods, there will be another batch in a few days.”
“There’s another batch?”
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, especially the supply lords who did not know Wang Xiao’s identity. They sized him up with strange gazes.
Seeing this, Wang Xiao rubbed his hands and stood up. “I’ll be straightforward. From today onwards, I can provide a large number of minerals every week. The Black Gold Ore is naturally among them.”
“However, due to well-known reasons, there won’t be many ores. Moreover, because their value is too high, I still hope to cooperate with the Lord’s Shop. After all, it’s safer this way.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiang’s dark expression instantly became energetic. On the other hand, the dozen or so supply lords had all turned into frosted eggplants.
“But don’t be discouraged.”
As soon as Wang Xiao spoke, he pulled the attention of the dozen or so people back. “From the next batch of minerals, no matter what the production of the Black Gold Ore is, I will take out ten units for everyone to buy!”
“Ten units!”
Everyone, including Lin Xiang, revealed shocked expressions. Although ten units did not sound like much, this was the [Black Gold Ore]!
Among the minerals that could be circulated in the market now, the highest price was the purple gold mineral.
A unit of purple gold mineral could be sold for 10,000 star coins, and a thousand units of purple gold minerals could only be exchanged for a unit of Black Gold Ore. That was a total of 10 million star coins!
However, even with such a high price, the Black Gold Ore was still considered priceless. This was because many people would not take this thing out to sell at all. Therefore, even if there was only one unit, it was enough to cause a commotion in the entire market!
Now that Wang Xiao had taken out ten units, it was simply ridiculous! Even the City Lord of Kaiyang City was probably not so generous!
There must be an abnormality!
After the excitement, some people began to show suspicious expressions. He Dazhi was one of them.
“Mr. Wang, ten units of Black Gold Ore is not a small number.”
He Dazhi’s face was filled with doubt, but he still tried his best to ask tactfully, “Can you really take it out?”
“If I say there is, there definitely is. Believe it or not, it’s up to you.”
Wang Xiao smiled faintly. Then, he retracted his smile and said seriously, “However, if you want to do business with me, you have to follow my rules. Anyone who wants to buy the [Black Gold Ore] needs to pay the deposit first, which is half the price.”
“A deposit?”
He Dazhi was stunned. “What’s that?”
Only then did Wang Xiao remember that this world did not have any financial concepts. He thought for a moment and explained, “To put it simply, you’ll give me 500,000 star coins first. After I pick the [Black Gold Ore], you’ll give me the remaining 500,000 star coins.”
He Dazhi revealed a strange expression. After a few seconds, he probed, “You mean that I have to give you 500,000 yuan first before I even see anything?”
“That’s easy.”
Wang Xiao nodded and placed a unit of [Black Gold Ore] on the trading column. He had entered the territory to collect it when He Dazhi and Lin Xiang were bickering just now.
“Whether you want to pay or not is up to you. However, let me make this clear first. I will give priority to those who have paid the deposit.”
As soon as Wang Xiao finished speaking, while the others were still hesitating, 1.5 million star coins were transferred to Wang Xiao’s account.
Everyone was shocked when they saw this. Just as they were wondering who was so generous, they saw Lin Xiang stand up.
“Mr. Wang, I believe you.”
Lin Xiang pointed at Wang Xiao’s trading column. “Among these 1.5 million star coins, one million is to buy this Black Gold Ore. The other 500,000 is the deposit!”
“Thank you for your trust, Manager Lin.”
Wang Xiao smiled and transferred the [Black Gold Ore] to Lin Xiang on the spot.
When the others saw this, they no longer hesitated. They opened the trading column and began to transfer money. However, there were also people who were watching and felt that this might be a show put on by Wang Xiao and Lin Xiang.
In the end, a total of seven lords transferred a deposit to Wang Xiao. Coupled with Lin Xiang’s 1.5 million star coins, Wang Xiao instantly had five million star coins in his account!
Looking at the long string of numbers in his account, it was the first time Wang Xiao felt that it was so easy to earn money!
Although he still had to hand over eight units of the [Black Gold Ore] in the future, he did not need to spend money on the [Metal Devouring Ant]. He also did not need to spend money on the gravel that contained black gold elements. All he had to do was spend some time collecting them. It was almost a no-cost business!
