Chapter 101 Crazy Deal! (2)
Initially, not many people bought the products because they were too expensive.
But these things are too rare.
But once there's a first customer, there's a second...
Finally... things spiraled out of control.
As more and more people buy, people are already queuing up to buy corn.
As the number of customers increased, Xiaoyu and her group of women were completely overwhelmed.
Honglian immediately led the other women into the fray, introducing the goods to the guests one by one.
"Give me 10 cans of water! And five ears of corn!"
"I want 20 cans of water! A thousand red bricks, ten tomatoes..."
Soon, hundreds of corn cobs, tomatoes, and cabbages had been sold.
In the blink of an eye, Dragon City had already amassed tens of thousands of energy stones.
"This works? Are those people all idiots?" Seeing this, the elders of Divine Weapon City, Liu Ruyan, the three leaders, and others who were watching from a distance all stared wide-eyed.
At the same time, he subconsciously swallowed.
At the same time, the same thought arose in their minds:
There's a reason why it's expensive!
They have plenty of money, but this kind of exquisite food can't be bought anywhere else!
Liu Ruyan's eyes, however, were gleaming as she looked at Xiao Yu...
"Everyone... I'm going to talk to Xiao Yu about something." The Grand Elder had a clear view from the city wall. After hesitating for a moment, he quickly rushed downstairs.
He previously thought it was too expensive, and because of his status, he didn't want to compete with ordinary people.
But now, there are fewer and fewer corn, tomatoes, and other vegetables on the stalls below.
If Dragon City only has these, he won't be able to grab any!
"Let's go together!" The elders exchanged glances and rushed down as well.
Everyone knows that the Grand Elder is extremely cunning and treacherous; he must be looking for Xiao Yu to discuss a deal.
They're not short of energy stones, and it's rare to see something good, so how could they miss it?
A moment later, inside a tent.
"Want to discuss a big deal with me?" Xiao Yu smiled at the Grand Elder.
"Correct!"
The Grand Elder nodded, his tone serious, "However... we in Divine Weapon City have a large population and need a lot, so we're a little worried... Dragon City's supply is too limited, making it difficult to distribute!"
The Grand Elder decided to first give the Lord of Dragon City a warning.
By the way... let's test the waters of Dragon City.
"Heh!" Xiao Yu glanced at the Grand Elder and instantly understood his little scheme. He chuckled and said, "As long as you have enough energy stones, I can provide enough supplies."
The elders exchanged glances, their pupils shrinking in shock.
Once again, I was stunned by this young city lord.
The reason why it is difficult to grow vegetables in the wasteland world is ultimately due to the lack of water.
There isn't even enough water for people to drink, so where would we get water to irrigate plants?
How can vegetables and plants grow well without watering? They would wither and die long ago!
The fact that Longcheng can grow so many vegetables shows that it is not short of water at all!
"We have a large group and the transaction amount is relatively large, could you give us a discount?"
One corn cob costs 100 energy stones, one tomato costs 50 energy stones...
Even if you emptied the entire Divine Weapon City, you still couldn't buy that many at such an exorbitant price!
"A discount is out of the question!"
Before the Grand Elder could finish speaking, Xiao Yu raised his hand to interrupt, but then changed the subject, saying, "However... if you buy a lot, I'll give you some extra goods. For example... buy ten ears of corn and get one free, buy 50 ears and get an extra seedling..."
"What? They can even deliver seedlings?"
At first, the elders thought it was still very expensive.
But when they heard that they could give away seedlings, the old guys' eyes lit up instantly.
Once the seedlings grow, seeds can be harvested, and the plants can be repeatedly planted...
If this cycle continues, will you eventually own a cornfield and have an endless supply of corn?
"How much corn do you want?" Xiao Yu asked with a smile, seeing that these guys were interested.
These people think they are very smart.
But they seem to have forgotten that seedlings are not so easy to survive.
Because... it requires a large amount of water.
And coincidentally... the most abundant commodity in Dragon City right now is water!
"I want 1000 ears of corn!"
"I want 300 ears of corn! And I want more..."
"I want 100!"
Before the First Elder could even speak, the Second Elder and the Third Elder raised their hands to answer.
"No! That's too much!" Xiao Yu waved his hand and refused.
"What?" Everyone was dumbfounded.
1000 of them would only cost 10 energy stones, which they could afford.
As it turned out... Xiao Yu said too much, so he wouldn't sell?
"Limited quantity! Each person is limited to 500 sticks!" Xiao Yu explained.
The reason he used the purchase limit strategy was partly because the quantity was truly limited.
The corn seedlings spurred by the glow-in-the-dark tree can produce five or six large ears of corn per plant...
However... in just half a month, thousands of seedlings were catalyzed, but only a thousand matured.
Therefore, the number of finished products is currently very limited, while the number of seedlings is extremely large...
On the other hand, the more restricted the purchase of a product was in a previous life, the more popular it became, like houses...
As expected, Xiao Yu imposed purchase restrictions.
They initially said they wanted 300 or 100 sticks, but immediately changed their minds and wanted 500 sticks.
Those who were still hesitant also made their move decisively!
Everyone agreed that they all wanted to buy 500 sticks!
Seven people sold 3500 corn cobs... and that alone sold for 35 energy stones.
"The same goes for everything else, the more you buy, the more you get free!" Xiao Yu said with a smile, then waved to Honglian beside him, "Honglian, introduce them to these distinguished elders..."
Having suddenly received hundreds of thousands of energy stones, Xiao Yu was in a good mood, and his smile naturally brightened.
"Yes! Lord City Lord!"
Honglian bowed slightly and introduced everything one by one.
When there are outsiders present, everyone addresses Xiao Yu as Lord City Lord.
When Xiao Yu first learned about the purchase restrictions, she couldn't understand them at all.
But now, she feels... her brother really is a genius!
With a simple strategy, they tricked all these people into obediently asking for their money.
"Should tomatoes and cabbage also be subject to purchase limits?"
"Of course! The quantity is the same as the corn!"
"Then I want 500 red tomatoes!"
"I want...400 red tomatoes!"
"I want 500 too!"
……
The subsequent transactions went very smoothly.
Some people only wanted to buy corn, but ended up spending tens of thousands of energy stones to buy tomatoes and cabbage...
In addition, these people also bought a lot of seedlings of vegetables such as corn, tomatoes and cabbage.
However, the price of seedlings is 3-5 times higher than that of finished products, so each person only bought 100 seedlings.
A rough calculation shows that the total transaction amount of these people has already exceeded one million energy stones!
"Lord of Dragon City, is it possible to barter?" the Grand Elder asked tentatively after selecting the goods.
He still had quite a few weapons and armor forged in the Divine Weapon City, and he wanted to use them for barter.
This way...the sales process can be eliminated, saving a lot of manpower and resources.
"Of course!" Xiao Yu laughed heartily, but before the elders could even express their delight, he added, "But... I only accept rare forging materials, and rare plants and animals..."
He could understand it even with his toes.
This old scoundrel wants me to help him sell his goods, treating everyone else like fools.
