Chapter 244: Beast crisis
The Ultra Wave Stone’s price was very ordinary, mainly because people of this era did not know its use, so it was just a material that no one cared about. However, it was this item that was very important for Chu Tian and Miracle Commerce.
According to Chu Tian’s knowledge, the Ultra Wave Crystal was hard to find and if he didn’t mine in from Qing State, it would be hard for him to find him again in Southern Summer Country in a short period of time.
He had to obtain this ore.
“This is the ore that I want.” Chu Tian confirmed the ore and asked the fatty in an unsure voice, “What price is brother Shen willing to sell this for?”
Strange, strange, this ore was something that no one bought. Although the reserve is very large, the output is very pitiful, so why was this foreign merchant interested in this ore?
“I won’t waste brother’s time.” The fatty blinked his little eyes, “This ore is to be given away and is not for sale!”
Only given away and now for sale? What kind of logic was this!
“My family has been merchants for four generations and have countless high quality ores.” The fatty forcefully waved his hand, “Come, bring the samples in and let brother Yu have a look.”
A pile of small boxes was carried in.
Shen Yuan’s guards opened the boxes one after the other as different colour ores were shown.
Chu Tian looked over them and found that they were all pretty good ores. There were several kinds that were considered rare in the Southern Summer Country and would be useful for Miracle Commerce.
This is strange. I want to buy the Ultra Wave Crystal, so why was this fatty bringing in all these things?
“It’s like this!” The fatty’s little eyes blinked several times, “This family property was given to me by my damn father and now that he’s dead, I’m not good at doing business, so I want to sell it all. There are seven mines in the Green Ridge and if you buy two at once, then I’ll give you the ore that you want for free!”
No wonder it was only to be given away and not sold!
This damn fatty was trying to do a bundle sale!
This Ultra Wave Crystal mine was very deep, but there weren’t many ways to sell this crystal, so it was not worth much money at all. It would be worth around ten million gold coins, but the other six mines were not the same!
“If you buy two mines, I’ll give you the crystal mine you want.” This fatty continued to say, “If you buy three, then I’ll give you 10% off. If you buy four, then I’ll give you 20% off. If you buy five, I’ll give you 30% off. If you buy all of them, then I’ll give you 40% off! The more you buy, the more benefits you get. This kind of good thing is rare to come by!”
A disgrace to the family!
If the fatty’s father knew about this, he would have crawled out of his grave from his anger.
Chu Tian gave a laugh, “Give me 50% off.”
“Alright!” This Shen Yuan did not even think about it, “I’ll sell the six mines at 50% off and I’ll throw in the crystal mine that you want!”
This easily?
This disgrace was truly a great disgrace!
Chu Tian carefully examined the samples. There was no problem with the ores, so there had to be problems elsewhere.
“Come, bring out the items!” When the fatty heard that Chu Tian really wanted everything, his eyes revealed a look of joy. However, he quickly hid it and a guard came in with a scroll, “This is mine’s data, reserves, quality, and deed. Everything is here with nothing missing. This information is all certified by the Qing State City’s mayor palace, so there is no data fraud. Brother Yu, please have a look!”
This was all the data and survey reports of the seven mines.
Each one had a large Qing State City mayor palace seal on it.
This seal had a source energy array to prevent fraud. Although it wasn’t anything in Chu Tian’s eyes, it was considered a high class anti fraud system in this era. A normal person could not forge it and of course did not dare to do so. Shen Yuan was a native so unless he was tired of living, he would not dare to forge the mayor palace’s seal.
This was not false from an impartial view!
Chu Tian was not a child and still had to see the real situation.
“The reports also list the estimated price.” The fatty began to calculate everything, “The total value of the mines is three hundred and sixty million gold coins and 50% off is one hundred and eighty million gold coins. Is that price alright with you?”
Was this fatty really selling this quality goods this cheaply?
All these were high quality goods that were generally hard to buy. Even if one could buy it, it wouldn’t be far from the actual price. Not only did this fatty not ask for a higher price, he even gave a 50% discount, this was quite an unusual way to do this.
Fishy!
This was too fishy!
Let alone who would go to the mayor’s palace to notarize something and then bring it with them to sell it to someone? This was clearly very strange!
It was like this family property was too hot, so he was very impatient to sell it.
“I can use my life as a guarantee!” When the fatty saw Chu Tian knit his brows, he seemed worried that he would have concerns. He immediately emphasized, “This mine is completely legal. There is no false data with the reserves and quality!”
“Alright!” Chu Tian nodded, “We’ll make the deal!”
There was no reason to not eat this meat given to him.
“I’ll give you one third after signing the papers. I’ll go personally examine the mine tomorrow and if there are no problems, I’ll give you another fifty million. The final fifty million will be given after the people from my company take over.”
“Alright!”
The two of them signed the contract.
In the contract, Shen Yuan confirmed that the mine was legal and the data and quality was all true. If there were any lies, then he would pay ten times the price as compensation.
With the contract signed, the transaction had been put into effect. Now both side had to carry out the transaction as per the contract and could not break their promises otherwise they would have to pay compensation of several times the price.
The fatty gave long sigh of relief and said to Chu Tian with a laugh, “Congratulations to brother Yu for obtaining this large ore mines. I can feel relaxed about this matter and no longer have to worry about this matter. I’ll prepare some guards to bring brother Yu to the Green Dragon Trail to see the mines.”
“You’re not going?”
“Eh….I have some others deals to discuss.” The fatty’s smile turned a little stiff, “I cannot accompany brother Yu to see the mines.”
“That’s fine!”
“Then I’ll say goodbye first.”
In exchange for selling the six mines, the fatty had enough money to not worry about running out in his life and he seemed like he had cast off a serious burden.
“You’re not afraid he’s lying to you?” Chen Bingyu said to Chu Tian, “You are just a foreign merchant.”
“He wouldn’t lie because he doesn’t dare to do so.” Chu Tian rubbed his chin and thought about it a bit before saying, “There should be no problems with the ores itself, but he should have encountered trouble which makes it so they can’t mine normally, so it became a hot potato. If the mine can’t run normally, then the mining equipment, refineries, and caravans will all cost quite a bit of daily fees which makes him anxious to give it up.”
“Since it’s like this, then did you buy it?”
“It’s just a problem with the mine, so it really isn’t a problem!”
Even if Chu Tian did not buy the other six mines, he still had to buy the Ultra Wave Crystal mine. He had to face this problem anyway and since he was going to solve it, why wouldn’t he buy a few more mines while he was at it?
Shen Yuan worked really quickly.
He found several dozen guards and a beast carriage that brought Chu Tian towards the Green Ridge.
Chu Tian sat in the beast carriage as he looked at the Green Range in the distance. The countless mountain peaks reaching into the sky was like a magnificent barrier that blocked everything. It really deserved to be known as the largest mountain ridge in the Southern Summer Country. Especially after he entered the Green Dragon Trail, the two sides were like cliffs that dimmed the light present, making it seem like they had entered an abyss.
The Green Dragon Trail was the largest of the six paths, so it was hard to imagine what the other five paths were like.
Chu Tian noticed something strange. There were many lumber yards and mines along the Green Dragon Path, but they were strangely all silent. It was like there was no movement coming from them and there were only a few guards outside.
This was very strange!
Although Chu Tian was not from Qing State, he knew that the Green Ridge provided most of Qing State’s resources. If could be said that Qing State had half of the Southern Summer Country’s resources and the Green Ridge made up 80% of the resources in Qing State.
The Green Ridge region was the life of Qing State and the main source of income for Qing State. If Green Ridge stopped producing resources, then it would be a fatal blow to Qing State!
From the Green Dragon Trail’s situation, it didn’t seem like this had only happened for one or two days.
Chu Tian felt that this was even more fishy. He tried getting some more information from the guards, but the guards refused to say anything about this.
“We’re at the mine!”
Letting the guards stand outside, Chu Tian went to inspect the mine with Chen Bingyu. In the end, the quality of the ores even surpassed his expectations. Not to mention being bought for half price, even if he bought it for double the price, he would still profit off of this deal.
Chu Tian inspected the other mines and it was all the same!
“There is nothing wrong with the inside or outside of the mine and even the mining equipment has been prepared.” Chu Tian was completely puzzled, “As long as we provide people to work the mine, then they will be able start mining ores, so why would he sell it so cheaply? This just doesn’t make sense!”
Chen Bingyu had no expressions as if she was not interested at all.
“Zhi, zhi!”
The little fox suddenly stood up and gave a few alarmed cries.
Chu Tian’s heart slightly jumped up, “Did you feel something?”
The little fox did not have time to respond before the panicked voices of the guards were heard.
“This is bad!
“It’s a demon beast attack!”
“Leave! Leave quickly!”
Those guards quickly ran away, even driving the cart to run away. The other mining area guards also fell into a panic and gave up their jobs, running away like they had gone mad.
It was already dusk.
Because the Green Dragon Trail was too deep, so there was not much light here. The sun had not completely set just yet, but it was already as dark as night here.
In this deep canyon, there was a dark green mist that rolled in. It surged forward in an aggressive manner like it was a wild tide pouring in.
Chu Tian was stunned for a few seconds.
This was…..a group of beasts?
It was because of a beast crisis? A beast crisis was a destructive crisis, it represented demon beasts running rampant, finally creating a wave of beasts. This disaster was very destructive and could be a large disturbance to people’s lives and businesses. A severe enough beast crisis could threaten a city or even an entire nation!
