"Good story"

Kazuma's talent is exceptional.

I was completely absorbed in listening to Makoto Uchiha's short stories, and it was as if a whole bunch of strange and wonderful knowledge appeared out of thin air in my mind.

A brand new door was opening for him.

Kazuma had no doubt about the power of Uchiha Makoto's move. The story of how the Daimyo initially spent a lot of money to obtain tulips, and how he went through many twists and turns before finally buying the rare tulips, would almost immediately ignite the tulip market in the Land of Fire if it were to spread.

What does "pricing per plant" mean?

"If the nobles of the neighboring Wind Kingdom find out, they'll think I, a noble from the Fire Kingdom, have fallen on hard times. Another room, please!"

"I want to fill every room in my house!"

This is a rare find that even famous people crave, and those self-proclaimed trendsetters in the cultural world would definitely not miss it.

The old-moneyed nobles of the Land of Fire will probably line up and spend a fortune to buy tulips.

Can't buy it?

Then I'll have to pay extra to buy it!

Tulips are currently priced low on the market. If you stock up now and wait for the price to rise, you're guaranteed to make a profit.

It's not a problem to multiply it four or five times, or even more than ten times!

"I understand, Lord Cheng. I'll go and stock up on a large quantity of tulips right away!"

Kazuma spoke with a flushed face, feeling that a bright future awaited him.

"It's too small; its scope is too narrow."

"Kazuma, your thinking is... fine. Let me enlighten you again!"

Makoto Uchiha shook his head.

He Zhen's vision is still too narrow; he needs this leader to enlighten him once more!

Buying low and selling high is such a simple operation. As long as you grasp the information gap in the market, it is not difficult at all. Anyone can do it. Even a dog can do it.

Of course, that's not important.

Most importantly, the profits earned did not satisfy Uchiha Makoto.

Tulips are marketed for their beauty and rarity. Due to the long growing season and difficult growing conditions, there are not many tulips on the market. Even if Makoto Uchiha tried his best to drive up the price of tulips several times, or even ten times, the limited quantity of tulips is an insurmountable difficulty.

In order to profit from the losses of ordinary people, the only option is to continue manipulating the price of tulips.

However, tulips are too expensive. The nobles of the Land of Fire aren't fools; they wouldn't be so crazy as to spend their food money on a bunch of flowers. Besides, these hypocritical scoundrels might get involved if they see that tulips are profitable, which would further reduce their profit margins.

so.

Simply buying tulips low and selling them high is absolutely not enough!

"What does Lord Cheng mean?"

"We should indeed stock up on tulips now and sell them when tulip prices skyrocket, but tulips are scarce. So even if we speculate on tulips, the money we can make will be very limited."

"So what we really need to connect with is the primary market, which is the tulip growers!"

"This is the main objective of our operation, and the secret to making big money."

"But, Lord Cheng, tulips take too long to grow and the growing conditions are difficult. Large-scale cultivation would require a lot of resources, which is not an easy thing to do."

Makoto Uchiha laughed; he hadn't intended to make money by growing tulips anyway.

This method is far too slow and takes a very long time, often several years. By the time a new batch of tulips is planted, the popular items among the noble circles of the Land of Fire will have changed several times over. By then, it will be too late, something even Akashi couldn't catch up with.

Of course, it couldn't be such a stupid method.

"We don't need to grow tulips. We just need to sign a contract with the tulip growers and agree on the price of the next batch of tulips in advance. No matter what the market price of tulips is at that time, we will buy them at the price in the contract. We can also give them a deposit in advance as a guarantee."

"In that case, we'll have a large number of tulip orders in hand, and what we'll be selling are tulips of the future!"

As Uchiha Makoto was saying this, Kazuma instantly understood what he meant, stood up excitedly, and shouted:

"Oh, I get it! I get it!"

"Lord Cheng, you mean that when the tulip market booms, many people from the Land of Fire will rush into the market, but the tulip supply will be scarce. At that time, if we simply release the tulip contracts, someone will definitely be willing to pay more to buy the contracts we signed with the flower growers. And at that time, we can completely transform the tulip trading market into a tulip contract trading market. We won't even need to grow any tulips; we can just sell the contracts!"

"Hahaha"

Kazuma danced with excitement, revealing an extremely grotesque smile.

"Yes, yes, that's exactly what I mean."

"Hahaha, we can even team up with Daimyo to forge fake contracts. Anyway, those people who are blinded by greed won't care about any of this!"

Kazuma even learned to apply what he learned to other situations, and even thought of things like forging contracts.

Although it's illegal.

But making money... isn't shameful.

Yes, that's right!

Any commodity transaction, once it deviates from the real economy and becomes virtual, becomes incredibly frenzied. Even if it's just a piece of paper, you can earn double, triple, or even several times the profit simply by changing hands. Anyone can get lost in such rapid transactions.

These people, blinded by greed, have lost the ability to think rationally at this point. They won't go to the site to investigate or verify the authenticity of the contracts with the flower farmers. They will only buy and sell, always thinking that someone will take over until the bubble bursts, making them the last ones left holding the bag.

Therefore, if a powerful figure were to intervene, it wouldn't be impossible to mix forged contracts into genuine ones for buying and selling. After all, once the frenzy ends and the bubble bursts, these contracts would be no different in value from blank pieces of paper.

Besides, it's unlikely that someone would actually come to your ninja village with a contract, so the only option would be to kill them.

"Hahaha, Kazuma, as expected of you, you even came up with such a wicked method!"

Uchiha Makoto looked at the monstrous Kazuma with an extremely satisfied expression. Kazuma seemed to be a good comrade, capable of handling important tasks!

He could already envision the future of his ninja village, a place teeming with talented individuals!

Everywhere is a vibrant scene of life, where all things flourish.

I worked every day during summer vacation and had various other things to do, so I only had time in the evenings.

Sigh... I'm just asking for your daily collection, to follow the story, and to vote with monthly tickets.
