Chapter 86: Huaxia Chamber of Commerce
ang Li-yang came into a guest hall.As Zhang Liyang took his seat, Xue Baosheng sat down in the chair beside him. Originally, at this time, Xue Baosheng wanted to let his children come out to greet Mu..."Lao Hu, did you sell all those jade stones to that Xia Hua Business Association"
"Old Li, don't tell me you didn't either You didn't have any"
"Haha....My goods, of course, were sold to the Huaxia Commercial Association." Lao Li let out a hearty laugh. "Although the price was a little lower than what we would have sold it for ourselves, it saved us a lot on transportation costs, so overall the price worked out about the same."
"That's right, the prices are about the same and we don't have to run around and get tired. Only a fool wouldn't sell."
"This is the Huaxia Chamber of Commerce...."
"You don't have to worry about that. This Huaxia Chamber of Commerce clearly looks like it was founded by a group of living bodhisattvas. What do you have to worry about"
Only a living bodhisattva would care about us and think of us.
"You're right! Let me tell you, my second son got really sick a few days ago. When I got home, I prayed to the Guanyin statue for healing. And guess what The next day my second son was already better!"
The other person beside him also chimed in immediately, "My family's is the same! I pray every day at the Longevity Position of Living Bodhisattva."
"Me too."
Inside a tavern bustling with merchants, a group of people were initially discussing the recent acquisition of their jade by the Hua Xia Chamber of Commerce. However, as they talked, the conversation eventually shifted to the living Bodhisattva, Mu Yinghua.
All sorts of truths and falsehoods were mixed together, which inadvertently raised Mu Yinghua's status in their hearts once again.
The name "China Merchants Association" gives a clue that it was taken by Zhang Liyang. However, the self-proclaimed president of the association is no longer in Flying Dragon City, but has come to Liangzhou City instead.
Upon entering Liangzhou City, Zhang Liyang did not disturb the city lord, Yu Cheng. He only brought Yuan Li and a few others into an inn.
"Yuanli, where did they agree to meet"
"Flying Dragon Restaurant."
As Zhang Lifang almost bought up all the jade inside and outside Feilong City, the supply of jade from outside suddenly decreased. This drop worried both Guheng Chamber of Commerce and Yujing Chamber of Commerce a little. Although the main businesses of these two chambers of commerce were not jade, for their branches in Liangzhou City, the jade business was their main business.
The source was suddenly cut off by Zhang Liyang, the two chambers of commerce naturally became anxious and subsequently came to invite Zhang Liyang over for a discussion.
Zhang Liyang, who even used his emergency funds to buy jade stones this time, came here with great confidence.
In the evening, Zhang Liyang arrived at Feilulu Wine House as promised. This luxurious wine house was one of the best in Liangzhou City.
"Haha.... Looks like this is the head of the Huaxia Chamber of Commerce, right" Zhang Liyang had just entered the private room when a middle-aged man walked over with a hearty laugh. "Such a young president, indeed extraordinary."
Chairman Chiang was praised by Liao.
Having already heard about him, Zhang Liyang naturally understood that the person who had come was Jiang Qianjin, the branch head of Gu Heng Chamber of Commerce. Following behind Jiang Qianjin was a middle-aged beautiful woman, "Jade Scene Chamber of Commerce, Hu Yulian has met President Zhang.”
"Good morning, Mr. Hu."
After a few pleasantries, the three sat down at the table. Logically, businessmen would first chat about other things and wait until they were happy with their food and drink before truly discussing business. However, Zhang Liyang was too busy, so as soon as he sat down, he got straight to the point: "The price of jadeite, we need to raise it by 30%!"
The two people, still smiling, were taken aback by Zhang Liyang's words. They then looked at each other.
"Mr. Zhang, our prices before..."
"Mr. Chiang, as you said, that was in the past."
Zhang Liyang’s aggressive attitude as soon as he arrived caused the two to fall into a slight silence. Meanwhile, Jiang Qianjin had already narrowed his eyes.
"President Zhang, business isn't done this way. You raised the price as soon as you arrived, how can we accept that"
And to be frank, now that Flying Dragon City has returned to our Great Xia, we can directly go to Flying Dragon City and collect jade ore, or even open our own jade mines there.
"I know." Zhang Liyang picked up the wine glass in front of him and twirled it in his hand. "But have either of you considered the cost involved"
What does Chairman Zhang mean
Glancing at Hu Yulian who was asking, Zhang Liyang smiled and said, "President Hu, you can calculate the accounts yourself."
"Do you need people for mining Do you need people to guard the mine Do you need people to transport the ore If there are too many people, the cost will be huge...."
And, as you yourselves said, Flying Dragon City now belongs to Great Qin. In the past, when Zilla was in charge, the outflow of jade was already limited. Now that there are no restrictions, have either of you considered the consequences if the supply of jade becomes excessive
Some who understood Zhang Liyang's meaning, like Hu Yulian, flashed a glimmer in their eyes. "Does Chairman Zhang mean that rarity is valuable"
It seems that Chairman Hu is not only good-looking but also incredibly intelligent.
For Zhang Liyang's kind of sycophancy, Hu Yulian, who had seen the world, was long immune.
"But I have a question, too," Hu Yulian's brows furrowed slightly. "Even though rare things are valuable, the amount of jade is finite. We can't just hoard it all in the warehouse, can we"
But there are jade mines in other places too. If we don't sell, someone else will.
"No, no, no, things are different for our jade from today onwards."
“Our jade will now be called qingyu. It is a type of jade that has formed naturally underground for over ten thousand years in the desolate borderlands, and it is extremely difficult to mine.”
“Therefore, since jadeite is rare, its price naturally becomes high!”
Looking at Zhang Liyang's eloquent speech, Hu Yulian and Jiang Qianjin couldn't help but widen their eyes.
People from Fei Long City know the jade they produce, but while the quality is good, it's not much better than jade from other places. Now that this person from Li Yang speaks about it, it almost sounds like the rarest treasure in the world.
However, both of them also understood that if what Zhang Liyang said were true, their profits would multiply several times over!
What did the chairman mean by that
"Or as I just said, the jade ore prices here have gone up by 30%, and finished jade jewelry prices have increased by a significant margin!"
"Mr. Zhang, this news hasn't spread yet You're raising the price so..."
"Has the news spread Is this a difficult thing for both of your guilds to handle And I'm just providing the source, the final sale is made by both of you, isn't it"
Both of them understood Zhang Liyang's meaning, but precisely because they understood, their hearts felt a bit stifled.
Zhang Liyang sketched a large pie in front of them and added up the prices.
But they had to seriously think about it. If what Zhang Liyang said was true, how much money could they make
The smell was too enticing; some couldn't resist!
"Chairman Zhang's mouth, I think it's worth a million!"
"Haha.... Then let's cooperate happily!"
