Chapter 405
Zhongzhou is more prosperous than Qingzhou, Liangzhou and Yuanzhou.
First of all, the area of Zhongzhou is larger than the other four states.
Secondly, Zhongzhou has the largest number of superpowers among the five states.
There was once a saying that if you meet a few people in Zhongzhou, they may be disciples of super powers.
This sentence is true.
At this time, the nearest city to Xiao Zhan was less than a thousand miles away, which was called Haicheng.
Haicheng, tens of thousands of years ago, was actually just a small fishing village.
Now it has developed into a city with a permanent population of hundreds of thousands.
And the most numerous of them are sea beast hunters.
Most of the people coming and going are traders.
There are Wanbaolou shops in the city.
The few Wanbaolou disciples who were riding the unicorn locked the unicorn into the animal pen in the backyard, and then walked to the door of the shop.
Just across the street, less than ten meters away, is another shop, with a "Jubao Pavilion" plaque hanging above the door.
The expressions of several Wanbaolou disciples were a bit cold and their eyes were filled with disdain.
Everyone knows that Wanbaolou is the largest trading company in the five states.
How can this newly appeared Jubao Pavilion compare with Wanbao Pavilion?
Seeing the traders entering the Jubao Pavilion one after another, the faces of several disciples from the Wanbao Pavilion became increasingly cold.
Xiao Zhan happened to be passing by at this time.
He glanced at Wanbao Tower and then at Jubao Pavilion.
Then Xiao Zhan walked directly into Wanbao Tower.
Several disciples from the Wanbao Pavilion just glanced at Xiao Zhan and continued to look at the Jubao Pavilion opposite.
Xiao Zhan took a look, frowned and asked:
"Won't you say hello?"
One of the Wanbaolou disciples looked back at Xiao Zhan and said impatiently:
"What do you like?"
"Take the goods down yourself, hand over the True Essence Stone and leave."
Xiao Zhan chuckled:
"If you do this kind of business, no wonder you can't compare to the Jubao Pavilion opposite."
Upon hearing this, several Wanbaolou disciples immediately turned around and looked at Xiao Zhan coldly.
"Boy, don't talk nonsense. If you are not careful, you will lose your life."
Xiao Zhan took out a dark red stone from his arms, not much bigger than a pigeon egg.
Seeing this scene, several Wanbaolou disciples' eyes lit up, "Dragon blood stone?"
Xiao Zhan smiled and nodded:
"Take it?"
"Of course," the expressions of several Wanbaolou disciples immediately changed, and they all came over with smiles.
One of them reached out and wanted to take the dragon blood stone and look at it carefully.
Xiao Zhan directly clenched his palms.
"How many true essence stones are you willing to pay?"
Several disciples from Wanbao Tower looked at each other and heard one of them say:
"Ten thousand."
Xiao Zhan sneered, "Is this how your Wanbao Tower does business?"
"The value of a dragon blood stone is between 200,000 and 500,000."
"My dragon blood stone still has a lot of dragon blood power left in it, and I can easily cultivate a ferocious beast like the mirror of the gods."
"Forget it, I'll go to the Jubao Pavilion opposite and ask."
With that said, Xiao Zhan walked towards the door.
Several Wanbaolou disciples took a few steps forward and stood at the door, obviously not wanting Xiao Zhan to leave.
"Fifty thousand," the young man negotiating the price with Xiao Zhan said with a smile:
"The price has been negotiated, why are you in a hurry?"
Xiao Zhan shook his head:
"No need, you are not sincere."
Seeing that Xiao Zhan could not be frightened, the Wanbaolou disciple said solemnly:
"Your dragon's blood stone is too small. The most I can produce is 180,000 true essence stones."
Xiao Zhan said nothing and continued to walk towards the door.
.
"Even if you go to the other side, the price they give you at Jubao Pavilion will not be higher than what we give you. This is the market price."
Xiao Zhan still said nothing.
When they reached the door, the disciples from Wanbao Tower did not give way.
Xiao Zhan's face was calm, but a chill flashed in his eyes:
"Why, hasn't your Wanbao Tower always been using the slogan of honesty? Now you have learned how to buy and sell by force?"
The expressions of several Wanbaolou disciples were not good-looking.
Originally, most of their business in Haicheng was taken over by Jubao Pavilion.
If the reputation of Wanbao Tower is ruined again, I'm afraid even 20% to 30% of the business will be gone.
Several people got out of the way, and after Xiao Zhan walked out, they said coldly:
"One hundred and ninety thousand True Essence Stones, this is the final price."
"If you don't believe me, just ask and see if Jubao Pavilion will give such a high price."
Indeed, the value of the dragon blood stone in Xiao Zhan's hand is around 200,000.
But that's for sale to people in need.
The acquisition of Wanbao Tower was naturally for profit. The price of 190,000 yuan was indeed a very high price.
But Xiao Zhan's original purpose was not to sell the dragon blood stone.
As soon as Xiao Zhan stepped into the Jubao Pavilion, he saw a young man coming towards him, cupped his hands and said with a smile:
"Welcome, sir."
Xiao Zhan smiled and nodded, without going inside, he stood at the door of Jubao Pavilion, spread out the dragon blood stone in his hand, and asked:
"For this dragon's blood stone, the Wanbao Pavilion across the street offers 190,000 true essence stones. How much can you give from the Jubao Pavilion?"
The young man stared at the dragon blood stone in Xiao Zhan's hand and said in deep thought:
"One hundred and ninety thousand true essence stones, in fact, there is not much profit left."
"Even if we take it in, we won't be able to sell it in a short period of time. Spending such a large amount of True Essence Stone will affect the operation of the Treasure Pavilion."
After thinking for a while, the young man clasped his fist at Xiao Zhan:
"Sir, don't blame me for speaking directly. This dragon's blood stone is indeed a good thing, but the price I will pay will not be higher than 190,000."
"Guest officer, it's better to sell it to Wanbaolou."
The young man couldn't lower his voice, and he didn't act out of emotion. Because he was in competition with Wanbao Tower, he made a random offer to accept the dragon's blood stone.
Across the way, when several disciples from Wanbao Tower heard this, a look of pride suddenly appeared on their faces.
Wanbaolou has never lost to anyone who is richer than wealth.
Xiao Zhan asked with a smile:
"Then what is the maximum number that your treasure gathering pavilion can produce?"
The young man blurted out without thinking:
"One hundred and eighty thousand."
Xiao Zhan nodded, "I sold it to you."
Hearing this, the young man was stunned.
Opposite, several disciples from Wanbao Tower were also stunned.
What does this mean?
You didn't buy my Wanbao Pavilion for 190,000 yuan, but sold it to Jubao Pavilion for 180,000 yuan?
Their eyes fell on Xiao Zhan and they couldn't help shouting:
"Is there something wrong with your brain?!"
"We paid 190,000, it's 190,000!"
"Are you targeting our Wanbao Tower on purpose?!"
Xiao Zhan turned around and glanced at the disciples of Wanbao Tower indifferently, "I'm not targeting you Wanbao Tower."
"Compared to 190,000, I just like the number 180,000."
"Besides, the dragon blood stone is mine. I can sell it to whomever I want. Do you have any control over it?"
Hearing this, several Wanbaolou disciples were so angry that their faces turned red and their necks thickened.
What's the point?
Don’t like the number 190,000, but do you like 180,000?
"If you like the number 180,000, our Wanbao Tower will give you 180,000 too!"
"It's too late," Xiao Zhan shook his head, "They all paid 180,000, but the one that Jubao Pavilion paid first will naturally be sold to Jubao Pavilion."
After saying that, Xiao Zhan directly handed the dragon blood stone in his hand to the young man in the Jubao Pavilion.
The young man felt that it was a bit unreal. It was not until he held the dragon blood stone in his hand that he believed that it was all true.
But there wasn't much of a smile on the young man's face.
He glanced at the Wanbaolou disciples opposite who looked as cold as ice and looked ferocious with anger, clasped his fists at Xiao Zhan and said:
"Please go to the private room upstairs to have some tea first. I will immediately send you the exchange coupon for the True Essence Stone."
Xiao Zhan said "Yeah", stepped onto the stairs, and walked upstairs.
There are seven or eight private rooms upstairs. They are not large in size, but they are soundproof and quiet.
With the windows closed, not even the noise on the street outside could be heard.
Less than five minutes later, I saw a young man leading a square-faced middle-aged man open the door and walk into the private room.
This middle-aged man with a square face was about 1.7 meters tall, with a strong build and sharp eyes. He was sizing up Xiao Zhan as soon as he entered the door.
The young man cupped his fists at Xiao Zhan and said softly:
"Sir, this is the steward of our Jubao Pavilion."
Xiao Zhan nodded.
The young man only said this, turned around and walked out of the room, closing the door behind him.
The middle-aged man took out the True Essence Stone exchange coupon and placed it in front of Xiao Zhan, and then slowly asked:
"What's your last name, little friend?"
Xiao Zhan put away the True Essence Stone exchange coupon and said with a smile:
"My surname is Xiao. What's your surname?"
"Tang," the middle-aged man cherished words like gold, "Tang Mian."
After saying this, both of them fell silent.
After about two minutes, Tang Mian said in a deep voice:
"Do you have any issues with Wanbaolou?"
Xiao Zhan nodded and did not deny it.
After all, Wanbaolou offered 190,000 yuan to buy Xiao Zhan's dragon blood stone, but Xiao Zhan sold it to Jubao Pavilion for 180,000 yuan. This is obviously not a normal situation.
Tang Mian frowned and asked:
"Master Xiao, if you have anything to say, just say it."
Xiao Zhan put down his tea cup and said with a smile:
"I'm very curious about the origin of your treasure collection pavilion."
"With the power of Wanbao Pavilion in Zhongzhou, they would actually watch the rise of your Jubao Pavilion. This is not a normal situation."
Indeed, anyone who wants to compete with Wanbao Tower for business will probably be killed by Wanbao Tower before they even start.
Unless, the power behind Jubao Pavilion is not weaker than the current Wanbao Pavilion.
Tang Mian frowned slightly:
"Mr. Xiao, what force is behind our Jubao Pavilion seems to have nothing to do with you."
Xiao Zhan nodded, "I'm just curious."
After saying that, he planned to get up and leave now.
Tang Mian's frown deepened, "Mr. Xiao, do you really have nothing else to do?"
Xiao Zhan smiled and asked:
"What do you think can happen to me?"
Tang Mian stared into Xiao Zhan's eyes:
"I don't believe that you would give up 10,000 True Essence Stones for no reason."
Xiao Zhan smiled:
"I'm very satisfied with the Jubao Pavilion. Ten thousand True Essence Stones is a lot, but if you give them to the Jubao Pavilion, it's not a loss to me."
After saying this, Xiao Zhan stood up and left directly.
Tang Mian looked at Xiao Zhan's back, his eyes full of doubts, and kept thinking about Xiao Zhan's last words.
What does it mean to be satisfied with Jubao Pavilion, and what does it mean that giving to Jubao Pavilion does not count as a loss?
This always sounds weird.
Tang Mian walked to the window, opened it and looked towards the street.
Xiao Zhan had already walked out of Jubao Pavilion and walked towards the street.
The two Wanbaolou disciples followed Xiao Zhan openly without concealing their whereabouts.
Tang Mian thought for a moment, went downstairs, and left from the backyard.
outside the city.
Xiao Zhan walked slowly on the spacious road
.
The two Wanbao Tower disciples suddenly increased their speed and stood in front of Xiao Zhan.
This place is more than ten miles away from Haicheng, so no one will see this scene, and it will not ruin the reputation of Wanbao Tower.
These two Wanbaolou disciples are not weak in strength and are both in the Danhai realm.
The two looked at Xiao Zhan coldly.
One of them laughed ferociously and said:
"Boy, you deliberately provoked our Wanbao Tower. Do you still want to leave alive?"
"Take out all the true essence stones on your body, and I can give you a good time."
Xiao Zhan took out the 180,000 True Yuan Stone exchange coupons from his arms and said with a smile:
"Come and get it."
The two young men frowned, looked at each other, and rushed towards Xiao Zhan at the same time.
One of them reached out and grabbed Xiao Zhan's neck, while the other drew his sword and stabbed it in the heart.
"boom!"
Xiao Zhan stamped his right foot on the ground, causing the ground to tremble instantly.
An extremely strong energy hit their hearts instantly.
The two of them flew out and fell hard to the ground, vomiting blood and twitching.
When Tang Mian saw this scene from a distance, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes.
He was in the Guiyuan realm, so he could naturally feel Xiao Zhan's extremely strong aura.
But he couldn't see through Xiao Zhan.
But he was sure that Xiao Zhan was better than him.
