It's the cyber age now, and you're still playing traditional villains?

Making money is not shameful, and the Lord God will surely understand, right?

As for the nobles, those who first started using the products made of the Sea God Stone were naturally overjoyed. Not only did the value of the items increase, but their own reputation also rose. I am the one who has the Sea God Stone! Why don’t you kowtow to me quickly?

Those who haven't bought it yet naturally don't want to lag behind, how can they let others compare with them? Everyone has the same title, why should you be superior to others?

Just pay a little more and treat it as an heirloom!

Therefore, there is really no need to deliberately raise the price all the time. As long as he does a little operation, someone will naturally help him complete the rest, which will also make the price of Poseidon Stone rise faster.

Those who sold the Seagod Stone first were filled with regret. Damn it, why did they sell it so early? They could have made a lot more money if they had kept it for a few more days!

But it’s not a big problem, it’s not too late to buy it back now! The price of Poseidon Stone is rising every day, even if you have to pay a higher price than before, it’s definitely worth it!

But having said that, many people are already unable to keep up with this rate of increase. The money they earned before seems not enough to buy more. Even if they rely on selling their belongings to raise money, what they can get in return is getting less and less. If you don't buy this thing, there are plenty of people who will, and there is no time to scrape together money.

Not to mention that more and more people are joining the market, many of whom have no start-up capital at all and can only watch their money slip away.

Oh, how can I stop!

That's when.

Some people emerged imperceptibly.

"Hey, buddy, I have a good deal here, wanna do it?"

"Is it the Poseidon Stone business? I really want to do it, but I don't have enough money. Let alone 100 grams, I have a hard time buying 30 grams..."

"What does it matter?"

The man waved his hand and said, "I and a few other friends have come up with a solution. You don't have to rush to pay!"

"Oh? Tell me."

“Well, that’s it.”

The man took out a piece of parchment and said, "Look, here is a contract. I can give you as many Poseidon stones as you need. You just need to pay me a deposit first and then pay me the money within a month. The price will be based on today's price. When the time comes, we will exchange the money and the goods. After you get the Poseidon stones, I don't care whether you keep them or sell them."

"There is such a good thing? You are not lying, are you?"

"How could that be possible? Look carefully, there is a royal seal on it! If you are worried, we can go and verify it now!"

The man spoke with great confidence, and it was obvious that he had made a lot of preparations for this.

"That's it."

Hearing him say this, the frown on the old man's face also relaxed.

This deal is simply too good to be true. The value of Poseidon Stone will increase many times in a month. Such a long time is enough for him to collect the money. No matter how you think about it, it is not a loss.

That leaves only one question.

How much to buy?

He thought deeply for a while, then waved his hand heroically.

"Give me a two-nine-eight!"

Oh my goodness, I actually got out... I'm so tired

254. Chapter 254 Bang, the bubble burst

254.

The famous philosopher Amenos once said that some things only have the first time and the countless time.

Therefore, since the first "pre-order Poseidon Stone" order contract was signed, it has opened new doors for countless people.

It can only be said that inspiration in thinking is very important. Once this matter spread, everyone seemed to have come to their senses and followed this model one after another. They first paid a part of the deposit, and then obtained a certain amount of Poseidon Stone at the real-time price, and then paid the full amount when the due date came.

This situation is of course more likely to occur in people who don't have cash on hand. There is no other way. If you don't have money but want to participate in the transaction of Poseidon Stone, this seems to be the best way... However, the fact is that even if you have cash on hand, most people will still choose this method.

Anyway, the market for Poseidon Stone is booming, so who would really worry about losses? These contracts are money!

Sign more now so you can have a good life in the future!

Not only buyers, but also sellers of all sizes have gradually abandoned spot transactions as time goes by. Many sellers have even put up a sign that says "only sign contracts" - you don't have cash, and I don't have so many goods on hand. I can only make money by selling to one person, but if I sign a contract, I can sell to ten, twenty or even more people at the same time, right?

As for the issue of delivery due, they don’t care. After all, the delivery times are different. Secondly, the seller can also exist as a buyer. Can’t I just go to someone else to sign the contract?

Some smart people even learned the trick of asset proof. Are you afraid that I don't have money? Look at how many contracts I have! When they expire, they are all gold and silver. What else do you have to worry about?

Soon, the market for Poseidon Stone became a contract market. At a glance, there were very few transactions where money was actually exchanged for goods. Instead, contracts were flying everywhere. A contract for "pre-ordering xxx Poseidon Stone" could even be circulated among people as currency.

Anyway, the contract is written in black and white and has the royal or Vatican seal. Who would care if the buyer or seller on the order fails to deliver?

If you really lie, I'll give you some juice when you go to the court.

"Lord Gu Jian, why am I becoming more and more confused about the Sea God Stone business now?"

As an event that was currently in the spotlight in the main city, the young queen Dongfang Xiao naturally paid close attention to it. Whenever Cheng Gujian came to meet her, she would chat with him more or less.

She could not help but pay attention to it. Firstly, as the ruler of a country, such a big matter was naturally on her desk all the time. Secondly, the trend of trading Poseidon Stone was really popular everywhere. It was no longer just a small fight among civilians. Many officials in the court also got involved.

Of course, they also smelled the scent of money, and began to be dissatisfied with simply collecting Poseidon stone ornaments for viewing purposes - the fact is that many people are just pretending to be cultured, and do not really like these shiny Poseidon stone products. Sorry, they cannot appreciate them.

But being able to make a profit from it is a good thing that everyone likes. Under this trend, the wealthy and powerful nobles finally lowered their status and started to get involved.

Most of the transactions among ordinary people are centered around the lowest-grade white Poseidon Stone, sometimes mixed with a little bit of medium-quality Poseidon Stone, and that’s the best they can get… After all, they are not very ambitious, and even if they are overwhelmed by the booming market, they don’t have the guts to sign an order that is dozens or even hundreds of times higher than their own.

Not to mention raising the money on my own, even if I dismantled all my aunts and uncles and Xiaoqiang and sold them for parts, I still couldn't come up with that much money!

Even if they could raise more funds by signing or holding orders, they would prefer to stay in the secondary market and would rather trade more inferior products than consider those sky-high priced deep blue Poseidon stones.

After all, with everyone's bidding up its price, the price of Poseidon Stone has already skyrocketed.

Do you remember the prices at the beginning? Fifty silver coins for low-grade Poseidon Stone, five gold coins for medium-grade Poseidon Stone, and fifty gold coins for the best dark blue Poseidon Stone... Interestingly, at first glance, today's market price seems to remain at this level, without any change.

but.

The unit of measurement has changed a long time ago. It used to be calculated based on one hundred grams, but now... it is one gram.

A hundred times!

Only one month has passed since the first transaction of Poseidon Stone!

With such horrific profits, I am afraid that there is no second business more profitable in the entire Hualan Empire!

The nobles don't worry about this problem. For one thing, they have a lot of wealth. Ordinary people don't dare to buy or sell high-quality Poseidon Stone, but they don't care. They have been scraping the land for so many years... No, several generations have worked hard for so long, this little money is not a problem at all!

Secondly, it is the natural sense of superiority in their hearts that is at work. The lower class people wearing coarse linen clothes are trading low-grade or medium-grade Poseidon stones, so wouldn't it be a loss of face if we also trade these?

If you want to buy, buy the big one!

When Dongfang Xiao was in court yesterday, he saw a minister who was as happy as a flower. After asking, he found out that it was because he had just signed an order for 300 grams of top-grade Poseidon Stone, which cost a full 15,000 gold coins!

This amount of money... is enough to buy a beautifully decorated castle with its own garden in the most prosperous upper city area of ​​the empire.

Logically speaking, the difference in how many Poseidon Stones are traded and what kind of Poseidon Stones are traded is really just the price. The rich buy more and the poor buy less... But for some reason, this incident made the little queen feel a little uneasy.

She always felt like something was not right, but she couldn't really put her finger on it.

That's why her expression today looked a little solemn, and she was frowning the whole time.

"Including the contract drawn up by all parties, it should also have your permission, Lord Gu Jian, right?"

"Back to Your Majesty, yes."

Cheng Gujian replied calmly.

He himself had no intention of getting involved in this matter, but as the nominal ruler of the imperial royal family, he certainly had to pay attention to it at all times.

At that time, this contract model was proposed by his subordinates. After thinking about it, he agreed to it.

After all, there doesn't seem to be any problem here. Xu Shiyi really spent real money. It was like running water and no one knew where he got so much money... Thinking of this, he was even a little unhappy, which was unusual. Brother Xu, your family is so wealthy, but you only brought two boxes of gifts when you came to visit. Isn't that a little less?

He also witnessed the prosperity of the Poseidon Stone market. Just now, he said that a minister signed an order for a castle at a full price with a wave of his hand. However, the fact was that earlier, someone had exchanged a contract for a nice house in the lower city, which caused a small sensation at the time.

In fact, it was this incident that made him completely put his mind at ease. The contract orders that were approved before might have been stuck quite tightly, but now they have been relaxed a lot.

"Is this so..."

Dongfang Xiao nodded thoughtfully, "Since you, Lord Gu Jian, also agree, I can rest assured."

"Your Majesty, please rest assured."

Cheng Gujian said seriously, "In my opinion, the price of Poseidon Stone may not continue to rise, but normal price fluctuations are inevitable. Even the prices of cattle, sheep and grain traded between the people will change every day, right?"

"Then I won't care?"

These words dispelled many of the little queen's worries, and her brows finally relaxed.

Of course, there is another meaning to this statement. If something goes wrong, you will be responsible, right?

Cheng Gujian nodded slightly, tacitly agreeing with this idea.

"That's fine."

Dongfang Xiao also nodded, "It turns out that you are reliable, Grand Duke... By the way, I asked you to send a letter to Xu Shi saying that you wanted to meet him, why haven't you received a response yet?"

"Your Majesty, Xu Shi's reply only arrived two days ago. I have been so busy with official duties recently that I forgot about it for a while."

Grand Duke Gu Jian was stunned for a moment, then he took out a document and handed it over, "The letter said that his injury has healed, so of course he has to come to see Your Majesty, and he will probably leave in the next two days."

"Okay, he's quite arrogant."

There was a hint of dissatisfaction in the little queen's tone. After all, she was the ruler of a country. Even if you were a foreigner, I wanted to see you on my own initiative. It's too disrespectful of you to drag it out for so long, right?

"Then Grand Duke, please pay close attention to him. When he arrives in the main city, let him come to see me as soon as possible."

"Yes, I will take my leave then."

At the end of the daily interview, Cheng Gujian stood up, saluted, and strode away.

Dongfang Xiao was still sitting in front of the desk in the study, his right hand clenched tightly, even trembling a little from the force.

The fact is, it’s not that she “felt there was a problem that she couldn’t understand”, but that she had vaguely thought of a possibility.

The price of Poseidon Stone fluctuates, which is of course acceptable.

But what if the fluctuation is too big...what will be the consequences?

This seems to be a problem that no one pays attention to, and no one will pay attention to this problem. The market is booming now, and anyone who says something that is not conducive to trading will be punished.

What's your purpose in saying this? Are you unable to afford the Sea God Stone and just leaving it there? That's enough.

But even though she realized this, she herself didn't seem to have any intention of stopping it.

Because if that were the case, maybe...

This is her only chance in this life.

She wanted to take a gamble.

……

Silver Pine Island.

Xu Shi was in a good mood today, or rather, he had been in a good mood these days.

After all, Yinsong Island is thriving, and with the endorsement of the island owner Pan Cheng, the islanders have also accepted the circuit transformation, and the daily facilities of every household are now beginning to move towards electrification.

It's quite interesting to talk about this. Originally, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, when the signal tower was built and the circuits were laid, these things were done in a relatively covert manner. In particular, the back mountain was simply sealed off. Many islanders didn't even know that such a thing existed.

By the time all this was completed, everyone was still in the dark, and naturally there was a bit of mystery surrounding it… So when Pan Cheng issued the order to modify the circuit, many people were still a little resistant, or perhaps they retained a natural fear of the unknown.

But after experiencing the convenience of electrification, any concerns disappeared.

All of this is so convenient, and it doesn't cost any money - Xu Shi didn't bother to charge them extra for electricity or anything like that. With the popularization of the power system, there is basically no need for batteries or anything like that, including the power generation that relies on hydropower. It can be considered as free assistance to big brother Pan Cheng.

Over in Night Sin City, Su Lin and her team have also arranged manpower, and talent assistance will be available at any time.

There is a kind of beauty where everything is full of vitality and blooming.

He was currently playing games with his darling daughter - he didn't know where Xia Ke'an got the mood from, but she suddenly asked him to go to the beach to play, so of course it was difficult for him as a father to refuse.

"Have you really regressed to the age of ten?"

But having said that, he couldn't help but complain when he saw the old lady excitedly building a sand castle there.

"What are you talking about?"

The white-haired loli rolled her eyes at him, but her hands didn't stop moving. "Dad said he would take me to the amusement park? Did we go? Did we go?"

"I know you took Su Lin with you! You're a big liar who doesn't keep his word!"
