Chapter 1173 – Moonshine Trading House (1)
It would not be easy to open a shop in the Moon G.o.d Continent. Shen Yanxiao was unlikely to do it since the preparatory work was also too complicated. Moreover, it took a lot of money to rent a shop and hire elf workers. Deducting what she gave to Yue Xi and Vermillion Bird, there were not many crystal coins left in her hands; only enough for her to eat and drink for a few days at most. Forget about other things.
Aside from opening a shop, Moon G.o.d Continent had other methods of business.
It was similar to the auction houses in the Radiance Continent, but the way of selling goods was really not through an auction; rather, all items would be displayed and sold.
It wasn’t so much an auction house; it was more appropriate to call it a trading house.
The elves who had something to sell could put up their own items in the trading house, and the elves of the trading house would be responsible for selling their goods. After the transaction was over, the trading house would extract a portion of the profits.
Ordinary elves could not open trading houses because too much manpower was needed and enough shops were also required. Only the tribes could create a real trading house.
The trading houses of Jadeite City were all located on the south street, and as soon as you got there, you would see them completely packed at a glance.
The emblem of each tribe was hung on the door of every trading house.
Shen Yanxiao looked at the several trading houses and saw many items for sale. The price of some items really made Shen Yanxiao's eyes flash with a trace of greed.
Many bows that were worth a thousand gold coins in the Radiance Continent were only a few hundred or even dozens of gold coins in the trading houses of the Moon G.o.d Continent.
Because the Moon G.o.d Continent was the origin of many high-quality trees, the forging experts who made bows here were so numerous that the price of bows was staggeringly low.
Aside from bows, there was another thing that caught Shen Yanxiao’s attention very much.
That was the potions!
The elves had the talent to surpa.s.s all races in pharmaceutics; there was no elf who wasn’t capable of formulating potions. Furthermore, there were all kinds of medicinal herbs everywhere in the Moon G.o.d Continent, so it would not cost them a lot of money. Therefore, the price of the potions here was extremely cheap, so that the potions were no different from rotten cabbages.
A bottle of Magic-Stirring Potion worth hundreds of gold coins in the Radiance Continent only cost a dozen crystal coins in the Moon G.o.d Continent.
A bottle of master potion worth tens of thousands of gold coins, one could get it here in the Moon G.o.d Continent as long as they had a few hundred crystal coins.
As a result, Shen Yanxiao, who was a Senior Pharmacist, almost rushed to pack up all these potions when she saw these cheap potions that could cause one to vomit.
Needless to say, she was going to bring these potions back to the Radiance Continent for resale; she could definitely easily earn ten times the original price.
This was simply a huge profit!
If not because Shen Yanxiao was embarra.s.singly short of money right now, she wouldn’t hesitate to buy all the bows and potions right away.
Once these things were shipped to the Radiance Continent, she would be sitting on a mountain of gold coins!
Shen Yanxiao finally understood why so many merchants were willing to take risks and travel to the Moon G.o.d Continent to do business. Because here, there were gold coins everywhere, and there was no end to it.
The finished bows and potions were already so cheap; as for the raw materials?
Shen Yanxiao’s inner desire to grow her wealth was burning.
It was important to know that human beings had a lot of restrictions in dealing with the elves, and that the quant.i.ty they could purchase was very limited. Products such as the potions and bows of the elves were never sold to humans.
In the minds of the elves, what they made was not something humans could own; they could only buy some raw materials from the Moon G.o.d Continent.
Compared to selling finished products, the profit from the raw materials would be slightly smaller; nevertheless, the price would still be ten times the original.
