The famous philosopher Amynos once said that some things only happen for the first time and the countless times.
Therefore, since the first order contract for "pre-ordering Poseidon Stone" was signed, a new door has been opened for countless people.
It can only be said that ideological inspiration is very important. As soon as this incident spread, everyone seemed to have enlightened and imitated this model one after another. They paid a part of the deposit first, and then obtained a certain amount of Poseidon Stone at a real-time price. Just make up the full amount later.
Of course, this situation is more likely to happen to people who have no cash on hand. There is no other way. If you have no money but want to participate in the transaction of Poseidon Stone, this seems to be the best way... However, the fact is that even if you have money on hand, For cash, most people will still choose this method.
Anyway, the market for Poseidon Stone is booming, so who would really worry about losing money? These contracts are money!
Sign more now and you will have a good life in the future!
Not only buyers, but also sellers, large and small, have gradually given up on spot transactions as time goes by. Many sellers have even adopted the slogan of "only signing contracts" - you don't have cash, and I don't have that much. Goods, you can only make one profit by selling them to one person, but if you sign a contract, you can sell them to ten, twenty or even more people at the same time, right?
As for the issue of due delivery, they don't care. After all, the delivery time varies. Secondly, the seller can also exist as a buyer. Wouldn't it be better if I go to someone else to sign the order?
Some smart people have even learned tricks like asset certification. Are you afraid that I have no money? Look at how many contracts I have! When it expires, it will all be gold and silver, so what else do you have to worry about?
Soon, the market for Poseidon Stone turned into a contract market. At a glance, there were very few transactions where money and goods were actually settled. Instead, contracts were flying everywhere, including a contract to "pre-purchase xxx Poseidon Stone", and even It can be used as currency to circulate among people.
Anyway, the contracts are written in black and white and bear the seal of the royal family or the Holy See. Who cares if the buyer or seller fails to honor the order?
If you really lied to me, go to the Tribunal and I will have your juice.
"Gu Jian Gong, how come I can't understand the sale of the Poseidon Stone now?"
As a popular event in the main city, the little empress Dongfang Xiao naturally paid close attention to it. Whenever Cheng Gujian came to see him, she would chat with him more or less.
She couldn't help but stop paying attention. Firstly, as the king of a country, such a big matter was always on her desk. Secondly, the trend of trading Poseidon Stones was really popular everywhere, and it was no longer just among common people. It was a small fight, and many court officials also participated.
Of course they also smell the smell of money, and are no longer satisfied with just collecting Poseidon stone ornaments for viewing purposes - the fact is that many people are just arty and don't really like these sparkling Poseidon stone products. Sorry, I can't appreciate them. .
But profits can be made from it, which is a good thing that everyone likes. Under such a trend, wealthy aristocratic gentlemen finally put down their dignity and began to die.
Most of the transactions of ordinary people revolve around the lowest quality white Poseidon Stone, sometimes mixed with a little medium-quality Poseidon Stone. This is considered to be the highest... After all, their pattern is not big, even if they are washed away by the prosperous market. I lost my mind and didn’t have the guts to sign an order that was dozens or even hundreds of times higher than myself.
Not to mention raising the money by myself, even if I dismantle my seven aunts, eight aunts, and Xiaoqiang into parts and sell them, I still wouldn’t be able to get that much money!
Even if they can raise more funds by signing or holding orders, they are more inclined to stay in the secondary market. They would rather trade more defective products than consider those sky-high prices of deep blue Poseidon stones.
After all, with everyone's push, the price of the Poseidon Stone has already reached such a high level.
Remember the original price? The low-grade Poseidon stone costs fifty silver coins, the medium-grade Poseidon stone costs five gold coins, and the best dark blue high-grade Poseidon stone costs fifty gold coins... Interestingly, today's market price seems to remain at this level at first glance. A little change.
but.
The unit of measurement has long since changed. It used to be calculated based on one hundred grams, but now...it's one gram.
A hundred times!
It has only been exactly one month since the first sale of Poseidon Stone!
With such terrifying profits, I am afraid that if you look at the entire Hualan Empire, you will not be able to find a second more profitable business!
The nobles are not worried about this problem. First of all, their families are rich and ordinary people dare not buy and sell high-quality Poseidon stones. They don't care. They have scraped the land for so many years... ah no, generations of people have worked hard. After such a long time, this small amount of money is no problem at all!
Secondly, it is also the natural sense of superiority in their hearts that is causing trouble. The low-class people wearing coarse linen clothes are trading low-grade or medium-grade Poseidon Stones. If we also trade these, won't we lose our share?
If you want to buy, buy the big one!
When Dongfang Xiao went to court yesterday, he saw a minister who was as happy as a flower. When he asked, he found out that it was because he had just signed an order for a high-grade Poseidon stone worth 300 grams, which cost a full 15,000 gold coins. !
This number... is enough to buy a beautifully decorated castle with its own garden in the most prosperous upper city of the empire.
Logically speaking, the difference between how many Poseidon stones are traded and what kind of Poseidon stones are traded is really just the price. The rich buy more and the poor buy less... But I don’t know what happened. It was this matter that made the little queen Suddenly I felt a little uneasy.
She always felt like something was not right, but she really couldn't put her finger on it.
That's why her expression today looks a bit solemn, and she is always frowning.
"Including the contract issued by all parties, it should also have your permission, Mr. Gu Jian, right?"
"Your Majesty, yes."
Cheng Gujian replied calmly.
He himself had no intention of getting involved in this matter, but as the nominal ruler of the imperial royal family, of course he had to pay attention at all times.
At that time, this contract model was reported by someone below. After thinking about it, he also agreed to such a thing.
After all, there seems to be no problem here. Xu Shifang really spent real money. I don’t know where he got so much money... Thinking about it like this, he was even a little unhappy, which is rare. Brother Xu, you My family is so rich, but I only brought two boxes of gifts when I came to visit. Isn’t that a little too little?
He has also seen the prosperity of the Poseidon Stone market. He just said that a minister signed an order for a castle at the full price with a wave of his hand. However, the earlier fact is that someone has already exchanged a contract for a castle in the lower city. It was a nice house and caused a small sensation at the time.
In fact, this incident made him completely relieved. The previously approved contract orders may have been relatively stuck, but now they have been relaxed a lot.
"Is this so..."
Dongfang Xiao nodded thoughtfully, "Since you agree with it, Mr. Gu Jian, then I can feel relieved a lot."
"Your Majesty, please rest assured."
Cheng Gujian said seriously, "In my opinion, the price of Poseidon Stone may not keep rising, but normal price fluctuations are inevitable. Even the prices of cattle and sheep traded among common people will fluctuate every day, isn't it?" What?"
"Then I don't care?"
These words dispelled a lot of the little queen's worries, and her brows finally relaxed.
Of course, this has another meaning. If something happens, you are responsible, right?
Cheng Gujian nodded slightly, acquiescing to this meaning.
"That's fine."
Dongfang Xiao also nodded, "As expected, Grand Duke, you can be relied upon... By the way, I asked you to send a letter to Xu Shi before, saying that you wanted to see him, but why haven't you received a response yet?"
"Reply to Your Majesty, Xu Shi's reply only came two days ago. I have been busy with official duties recently, so I forgot about it for a while."
Grand Duke Gu Jian was startled for a moment, then took out a document and handed it over, "The letter said that his injury has recovered. Of course he will come to see His Majesty. He will probably leave in the next two days."
"Okay, he's got a lot of airs."
There was a little bit of dissatisfaction in the little queen's tone. After all, she is also the head of a country. Even if you are a foreigner, I take the initiative to see you. It's too shameful for you to delay for so long, right?
"Then Grand Duke, please pay more attention. When he comes to the main city, let him come to see me as soon as possible."
"Yes, I will resign."
At the end of the daily interview, Cheng Gujian stood up, saluted, and strode away.
Dongfang Xiao was still sitting in front of the desk in the study, holding his right hand tightly, even trembling under the exertion.
The fact is that it wasn't that she "felt something was wrong and couldn't understand", but that she had vaguely thought of a possibility.
The price of Poseidon Stone fluctuates, which is of course acceptable.
But what if the ups and downs dive too much... what will be the consequences?
This seems to be an issue that no one pays attention to, and no one will pay attention to this issue. The market is doing well now, and those who say such things that are not conducive to trading will be beaten.
What is your purpose in saying this? Can’t you afford Poseidon Stone Sour? That's almost it.
But even though she was aware of this, she seemed to have no intention of stopping it.
Because if that's the case, maybe...
This is her only chance in this life.
She wanted to take a gamble.
…
Silver Pine Island.
Xu Shi was in a good mood today, or he had been in a good mood these days.
After all, Yinsong Island is booming. With the endorsement of Pan Cheng, the island owner, the islanders have also accepted the circuit transformation, and every household's daily facilities are now beginning to be electrified.
It’s quite interesting to talk about this. Originally, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, when the signal towers and circuits were built, these things were done relatively secretly. Especially the back mountain was simply sealed off, and many islanders didn’t know about it at all. There is such a thing.
When all this was completed, everyone was still in the dark, and naturally there was a bit of mystery... So when Pan Cheng issued the order for circuit modification, many people were still a little resistant, or they were reserved for unknown things. natural fear.
But after experiencing the convenience of electrification, any worries have disappeared.
It's all so convenient, and it doesn't cost any money - Xu Shi didn't bother to charge them extra for electricity. With the popularization of the power system, there is basically no need for batteries, and the power generation is also based on water power, which is a great compliment to Pan. Sincerely, this big brother’s free assistance.
Over in the City of Night Sin, Su Lin and the others have also arranged manpower, and talent assistance is available at any time.
There is a kind of vitality and the beauty of all things competing.
And he is currently playing games with his good daughter - I don't know where Xia Keyan got the interest. She suddenly proposed to go to the beach to play with him. Of course, as a father, he would not be able to refuse.
"Are you really going back to ten years old?"
But even so, he couldn't help but want to complain when he saw the old aunt happily piled sand to build a castle.
"What did you say?"
The white-haired loli rolled her eyes at him and kept moving her hands, "Smelly daddy said he would take me to the amusement park before? Have you gone?"
"I know you took Su Lin there! You're a big liar who doesn't keep your word!"
Xia Keyan got angry for no apparent reason when he thought of this, grabbed a handful of sand and threw it at him.
Xu Shi ducked away with a guilty conscience. He really couldn't refute this matter...
"Next time, definitely next time."
"Who wants you to do it next time? Come over quickly and help me build a castle."
The old aunt curled her lips, but she didn't really blame him, "I don't care about it because I have a lot of things. You can have fun with me today."
"Okay, okay."
Xu Shi smiled, walked over and hugged him in his arms, "Here, I've prepared soapy water for you, do you want to blow bubbles?"
"want!"
The white-haired loli also smiled, took the tool and had fun.
Look, little Ke'an can be satisfied so easily. Where can you find such a good daughter?
A good daughter will still care about her bad father. After bragging, she couldn't help but ask, "Speaking of which, did the little queen you like send you a letter? Can't you wait to meet her?"
"What do you mean by the little queen I like?"
Xu Shi sweated so much, "Is it itchy again?"
"Isn't it? She is just the type you expected."
Xia Keyan made a face, "You don't have to be secretive, I'm not jealous... Hey, don't play with my hair!"
"Just play and play."
Xu Shi made a ring shape with her hair, dipped it in some soapy water and started to blow bubbles, "Who cares if you are jealous or not? Is there any daughter who is jealous of her father?"
"No? There is an old saying that a daughter is her father's wife from a previous life... so what's that about?"
The old aunt also realized that she had made a mistake, but she did not try to make up for it, but continued on.
"Then if you say that, I will actually eat it. Can you give me an accurate answer? What will happen?"
"I definitely have to meet you."
Xu Shi scratched her face with her hair, and answered in an evasive manner, "Otherwise, why have you been busy for so long?"
As he spoke, he blew another bubble, then reached out and touched it gently.
boom.
The fragile bubble was popped instantly, and the beautiful refracted light disappeared instantly.
