Chapter 73 Black Market, Recognizing Treasures with a Sharp Eye

"He is a trader with some skills."

Li Rui looked at the skinny man's back as he left.

On the black market.

There is a very special group of people who are both buyers and sellers.

The black market is a mixed bag, and contains many valuable treasures.

These people rely on their extraordinary eyesight to pick out valuable items from the vast number of goods on the black market, and then resell them to make a profit from the difference.

They call themselves "smugglers" and each of them has an extraordinary eye.

Reselling is a technical job.

But they did not engage in production and were often regarded as hooligans by officials. They had a low status and were often looked down upon.

All the herbs were sold out in one go.

The old medicine seller happily closed his stall and was already thinking about how to show off to his wife when he got home.

Little did they know that the elixir originally worth one hundred taels was bought for only eighty cents.

Li Rui had no intention of exposing the truth from beginning to end.

Wealth and honor come from heaven.

Both buyers and sellers are voluntary.

Everyone makes a living based on their own abilities.

The old man couldn't see the value of the herbs, but the skinny man could, so the wealth should be enjoyed by the skinny man.

And if it weren’t for that trader, the old man would not have been able to sell all the herbs so smoothly.

Li Rui is not a newcomer to the underworld who finds everything unfair. Of course, he would not do such a thing as to uphold justice for others on impulse.

He had his hands behind his back.

Continue walking on the black market streets.

"Little brother, your porcelain is really good. Please sell it to me at a lower price."

"Okay, three hundred coins."

"Cheaper."

"Two hundred coins."

"Two hundred and fifty cents, if you want it or not."

"Okay, okay, I'll sell it to you. Just consider it a small loss for me."

On the other side, the two customers, each with their own thoughts, reached a satisfactory conclusion of the deal.

The porcelain was an old item and could be sold for at least ten taels in the hands of an expert. If the young stall owner knew this, he would be so angry that he would vomit blood.

Another profiteer.

Li Rui is still like a passerby.

There is no intention of interfering at all.

Many times, profiteers make mistakes and spend money on worthless things, which can also lead to losses, so we cannot say that profiteers are all black-hearted.

They all make a living by their skills.

"There are some nice treasures."

Li Rui smiled.

As he walked, he observed the things on the stalls of the stall owners.

soon.

He stopped in front of a small stall.

Squat down.

He asked with a smile: "Little brother, are the herbs you bought authentic?"

A chubby-looking boy narrowed his eyes into crescents: "Master Li, I am doing business with conscience, and I will never cheat anyone!"

"Do you know me?"

Li Rui was a little surprised.

"Of course!"

The little fat man nodded: "Who in the black market doesn't know you, Master Li?"

Li Rui smiled faintly: "I just happen to be short of herbs for my recent practice. If you have any magical medicine, I will take them all."

As he spoke, he looked at the little fat boy calmly.

The reason he said so was that the little fat man in front of him was a trader and must have hidden something good.

The little fat boy heard it.

His eyes lit up immediately. He hesitated for a moment, then made up his mind and took out a dry branch from somewhere. "This is the oolong wood that has been passed down from my family. It is a genuine elixir. Since it is Master Li who wants it, I will give you an 88% discount and sell it to you for 200 taels."

Two hundred taels!
Li Rui sneered.

Are they really taking him for a fool? He has spiritual eyes, and this oolong wood is indeed real, but its grade is not high, and the spiritual substance is pitifully small.

"Fifty taels."

"This"

When the fat boy heard Li Rui's offer, he was stunned.

He originally thought that the guy in front of him could be chopped in half at most, but he didn't expect that he could chop so many in one breath.

The little fat boy suddenly cried:
"Master Li, you know that I am just a small business, so I need at least."

He made the number eight gesture.

"Eighty taels."

After saying that, the little fat boy looked at Li Rui with a nervous expression.

The old man in front of him is the boss of the black market. If he gets angry and robs people, he will be helpless.

Li Rui: "Okay, eighty taels is eighty taels, just come to the building to get the money. Oh, by the way, I need some cold dew grass recently, give these to me as a gift."

"Okay."

The little fat boy was overjoyed.

The previous deacons of the Tiandi Alliance were all domineering people who never paid for the things they sold, but the new deacon Li actually paid!
He deftly wrapped the oolong wood and cold dew grass in oil paper and handed them to Li Rui.

These cold dew herbs are worthless.

Giving it to Li Rui as a gift might also help win him some favor.

Of course he would be more willing.

He was even more delighted: "This oolong wood has been dry for many years, and there is not much medicinal effect left. If I take it to the medicine shop, I can sell it for thirty taels at most. Eighty taels is still a profit for me."

Although this new butler of the black market is old, his eyesight is still too young.

He was not worried that he would not be able to survive in the black market after offending Li Rui.

Most of the traders are rootless and floating around. The worst that can happen is that they go to other counties to beg for food after earning money. This sum of money is enough for him to eat for several days.

Take things.

Li Rui continued walking leisurely.

The corners of his mouth rose slightly.

He held the oolong wood in his left hand and the free cold dew grass in his right hand.

In the eyes of others, oolong wood is of course more precious.

But in the eyes of Li Rui, who possessed spiritual eyes, it was a completely different scene.

The bundle of cold dew grass that many herbalists were reluctant to pick because it was too troublesome actually glowed with dazzling golden light, even overshadowing the oolong wood.

Yes, there is a rare spiritual herb mixed in among these cold dew grasses.

Because it looks almost exactly like the cold dew grass, even the most experienced dealers would make mistakes.

This spiritual herb is of extremely high grade.

Worth five hundred taels!

If that fat guy knew that he had lost such a treasure, he would probably regret it so much.

To be a trader, besides having good eyesight, acting skills are also very important.

When you encounter a treasure, you should also keep a low profile.

For this purpose, the profiteers have come up with three ways to conceal their tracks.

One way is to buy all the goods at once like the skinny man before, and hide the real treasure among the goods.

The other way is like the man who bought porcelain just now, pretending to bargain, making the stall owner feel that he has got a good deal and getting excited for a while. The stall owner thinks he has made a profit and only wants to sell the things as quickly as possible, using this psychology to paralyze the other party.

The last one is called a feint to the east and attack in the west. If you find a treasure, you first buy another thing at a high price, and then let the boss give the real treasure as a bonus.

Li Rui used the last trick.

There are top talents in all 360 professions.

These traders go to great lengths to make a living.

If you want to know why Li Rui understands all this, it’s because he once worked as a trader for a period of time.

It was just that I had poor eyesight, and luckily I stopped in time, so in the end I neither made nor lost money, and ended the matter in a decent way.

Now he has spiritual eyes.

It’s different in the past.

The black market is the best place for him to kill people!
