Chapter 219: Lin Ying bribed people from Northern Xinjiang?
Three days later, Wuji Holy Land.
The secluded place shrouded in fog is the exclusive place for Wuji to retreat.
The environment here is quiet and peaceful, and only a few people know about this place.
At this moment, in the center of the fog, Wuji was still sitting in front of the small chessboard, carefully thinking about how to crack the game.
On the other side, Lin Ying was holding a jar of wine and talking as usual.
He would gulp down a few gulps of wine from time to time, as if he would never get drunk.
While Lin Ying was drinking, Wuji suddenly put down the chess piece in his hand, looked up expressionlessly and asked, "Did you receive the invitation?"
His voice was calm, yet it carried a kind of authority that could not be ignored.
Lin Ying paused in his drinking, then quickly swallowed the last sip of wine and put down the jar.
He simply wiped the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, nodded, and said: "I'm afraid that all the important figures in the entire Qiyang Continent have received it..."
His tone was a little heavy, and he seemed not optimistic about the matter.
After hearing this, Wuji didn't say anything. He just lowered his head again, took out a golden invitation from his sleeve, and gently threw it on the chessboard.
This invitation card shines with golden light and is engraved with exquisite patterns and designs, making it look particularly gorgeous.
Wuji looked at Lin Ying and asked calmly, "How many spirit stones did you take from Bian Xing?"
At the same time, his hands were not idle. He reached out and grabbed a black chess piece from the chess bucket and gently placed it on the chessboard.
Then he continued: "I'm afraid there will be a lot of bleeding this time."
"Except for the strategic reserves, there aren't many available spirit stones...right?"
Lin Ying sneered when he heard this and responded, "I swear to God, I only took 100,000 top-grade spirit stones from his branch."
You should know that one top-grade attribute spirit stone is equal to ten ordinary attribute spirit stones.
One attribute spirit stone can be exchanged for ten non-attribute top-grade spirit stones.
In other words, Lin Ying withdrew 10 million top-grade spirit stones from Bian Xing.
Compared with the production line construction that Lin Ying had previously planned, as well as various expenses and sales arrangements, he only spent one-tenth of the total.
At this time, Wuji suddenly raised his head, looked at the other party in confusion and asked: "You didn't build an assembly line?"
Lin Ying nodded proudly and explained, "Of course, business wars are all about money. Being able to reduce costs to the maximum is the key to victory!"
But Wuji suddenly felt something was wrong, his brows furrowed, and a sense of uneasiness arose in his heart.
He stopped fiddling with the chessboard and stood up straight, his eyes serious as he asked, "Then where did you get all that salt and sugar on the market?!"
There was a hint of anxiety and worry in his voice.
Lin Ying smiled nonchalantly and answered in a relaxed tone: "Of course I bought it from the people on the assembly line." He didn't seem to realize the seriousness of the problem.
Wuji showed an expression of disbelief on his face, and continued to ask: "Wang Shu? No... If it was a small amount of salt and sugar, she would have a way to secretly deliver it to you, but such a huge amount that is enough to overwhelm the Holy Land of Hundred Flowers..."
His eyes were fixed on Lin Ying, with doubt and thought flashing in his eyes.
Suddenly, Wuji seemed to have thought of something and exclaimed, "You got it from Northern Xinjiang?!"
"Snap!" Lin Ying snapped his fingers and shouted in surprise, "Correct!"
As he spoke, he happily picked up the jar of wine and continued to drink.
However, Wuji felt an ominous premonition rising in his heart. His face turned gloomy and he warned in a low and hoarse voice,
"Are things from Northern Frontier so easy to come by? Do you think Liu Yuntian is someone like Ruyi?!"
Lin Ying's drinking suddenly froze, his head tilted slightly, and he poked out from behind the wine jar.
There was a hint of doubt in his eyes: "Are you afraid that I will be fooled by Liu Yuntian?" There was a hint of disdain in his tone, and it seemed that he did not take Wuji's warning seriously.
Wuji did not respond, but stared at him solemnly, remaining silent.
"You're worrying too much."
Lin Ying put down the wine jar and looked at Wuji seriously, "Do you know how much spirit stones salt and sugar cost on the market now?"
Wuji looked at him curiously but didn't reply.
"A piece of attributeless top-grade spirit stone worth one pound!"
Lin Ying stretched out a finger and gestured in front of him.
"One top-grade spiritual stone?" Wuji's eyes squinted slightly, and he thought for a moment, "Didn't you sell it for three pieces before?"
"Business war... Under such competition, profits will definitely shrink rapidly."
Lin Ying grabbed his cloak, wiped the corners of his mouth, and asked with a mysterious expression, "Do you know how much the salt and sugar I bought in Northern Xinjiang cost?"
"Fifty pieces of high-quality spiritual stones?"
Wuji asked tentatively. This number was very conservative. Fifty high-quality spirit stones were equivalent to half of the profit.
Spirit stones with attributes are divided into top-grade and ordinary ones, and are in decimal system.
The spirit stones without attributes are based on hundreds. One top-grade spirit stone can be exchanged for one hundred high-grade spirit stones.
However, Lin Ying kept the secret on purpose, smiling and shaking his head.
After seeing Wuji gradually lose his patience, he revealed the answer, "A top-grade spiritual stone!"
"A top-grade spiritual stone?!" Wuji looked at the other party in shock, "How is this possible?"
"Do you think Liu Yuntian is a fool?" His expression gradually became serious, and he continued to ask, "How much did you buy?"
But Lin Ying just spread his hands and didn't answer.
Wuji understood what he meant and exclaimed, "Bought a hundred thousand top-grade attribute spirit stones? This is millions of top-grade spirit stones!"
"You emptied out the Northern Frontier?!"
"How could he not notice?"
Lin Ying gently pressed his palm, signaling Wuji to calm down, "Didn't I teach you? Ten thousand million is one hundred million!"
"Just a few hundred billion top-grade spirit stones..."
"Just a little?" Wuji opened his mouth wide, wanting to speak but no sound came out. Finally, he sighed helplessly and said, "Do you really think Liu Yuntian is a fool?"
"How could he not notice such a large number?"
"Did you catch his vitals?"
"Did you see him having sex with the Liang emperor's concubine?"
Lin Ying said with a straight face, "What are you talking about? In your heart, I, Lin Ying, am far inferior to him, Liu Yuntian?"
Wuji took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and tapped the chessboard with his hands clasped together, "Stop keeping me in suspense, and get to the point!"
"In order to win the hearts of mortals, Liu Yuntian worked day and night to produce large amounts of salt and sugar, mixed it with soil, and sold it to mortals."
Lin Ying looked at the golden invitation and said seriously, "Although I won't lose money, I definitely won't make any profit either."
"What's more, he wants to give half of the profits to Saint Nalan."
Then, he raised his eyes, looked at Wuji's face and asked, "If you do this, what will the people below think?"
Wuji narrowed his eyes, "The profit is too low, and those peasants don't have much money, so they might...smuggle?"
He suddenly understood, then looked at Lin Ying solemnly and asked.
"You instigated the people of Northern Frontier to rebel?!"
Lin Ying nodded. "That's right. Who would have a problem with spiritual stones? Northern Xinjiang produces so much salt and sugar every day, but they want to mix it with soil and sell it to peasants?"
"If it were me, I wouldn't be willing to part with it either... Are they worthy of eating this?"
"If you sell it to me without any dirt mixed in, you can get a high-quality spirit stone for one pound!"
"But if it's mixed with dirt and sold to mortals, it can only be exchanged for half a tael of silver!"
"Silver! Is this special code also considered currency?"
However, Wuji shook his head half-doubtfully, "No... Even if it was Liu Yuntian's most trusted person... With such a large number, he would definitely not be unaware of it..."
"Of course this matter is not that simple... So, I have more than one helper..."
Lin Ying suddenly laughed evilly.
…………
At the same time, Beijiang Salt and Sugar Factory.
"Miss Nalan, the salt and sugar have been packed for you."
A pretty figure turned around, it was Nalan Yumo wearing a veil,
She smiled and took off a ring from her hand and placed it in the other person's hand. "Sister Dongfang, thank you for your hard work. This is your 10%..."
Dongfang Lan looked at the storage ring, swallowed hard, and showed a greedy look.
But when she took the storage ring, she hesitated again, "Ms. Nalan... if Mr. Liu knew about this, I..."
"Hey~"
Nalan Yumo gently patted her shoulder and put his face close to her ear, "You are only responsible for delivering the goods to me. This is Liu Yuntian's order. As for whether to mix soil... and where to sell it, it's my business!"
"Even if he asks... you just refuse to admit it and throw the blame on me..."
