Chapter 247 Monopoly is the best business (two in one)

Late at night, in a hotel in the Iron Country.

Shen Duan is sitting in front of the window, with the bright moon in front of him. He is doing daily practice and meditation. Although the world has been polluted by some kind of force, meditation, a way of training his own spirit, will not be affected.

The sound of tinkling iron echoed in Shen's ears, like a symphony. This may be the specialty of this iron country, the ubiquitous blacksmith shop.

Compared with ninjas who are extremely demanding of flexibility, samurai from the Warring States Period to the present have higher requirements for armor and weapons, even if they have been assimilated by ninjas to some extent.

The assimilation of the samurai was a very disappointing thing for Shen. On the way here, Shen successfully obtained some information about this world through some conversations in the caravan, such as ninjas who mainly use chakra. It is the mainstream profession in this world.

Under such circumstances, Shen initially thought that this iron country might be the only pure land, the only profession that still continued the original development of this world, but after arriving in the iron country, everything he saw made Shen very disappointed , in his eyes, there is no essential difference between the samurai here and those ninjas hired by the caravan.

After a long time, Shen slowly opened his eyes, stretched out his hand to close the window, and then sat down in front of the table. After the escort caravan arrived, the boss gave Shen a generous commission. Just bought the most detailed map he could buy.

It is the most detailed, but it is compared to other maps, let alone other countries. Even the various regions of the Iron Kingdom are not clearly marked on this map. The only valuable one is the well-known Three commercial routes lead to Konoha in the Land of Fire, Sand Ninja Village in the Land of Wind, and Cloud Ninja Village in the Land of Thunder.

Konoha, as the most powerful Ninja Village in the population, has a lot of money and wealth, and can digest everything, and Sand Ninja Village also has a great demand for high-quality iron ore because of its unique puppet master profession. As for Yunnin Village, it is purely close to obtaining strategic resources. After all, resources such as iron are not too small for a country.

Shen looked at the map in front of him and planned his next route. First of all, Konoha must be going. As the most powerful country in the world, maybe this Ninja Village had some kind of deal with that alien. Of course, This is purely Shen's conjecture.

Suddenly, Shen raised his head and looked out of the window. Several black shadows were leaving quickly from the eaves under the darkness of night. Among them was Shen's marked person. The command spell left on the other party made Shen can easily perceive his whereabouts.

After those people left, Shen also had no intention of chasing after them, instead he directly found the boss who was drinking.

"Master Shen! Let's have a drink together, I'm treating you today!" The drunken caravan owner raised his glass to Shen.

Clang, the soul blade behind Shen vibrated, and the sound washed the boss's spirit from top to bottom.

"Come with me, I have something to ask you."

After the boss woke up, Shen asked, then put his hands in front of him and walked towards the hotel door.

The boss paused for a while, glanced at the wine remaining in the glass, hesitated for a few seconds, put the glass on the table, and followed quickly.

Walking on the relatively bustling street, carefully looking at the weapons hanging out of the blacksmith shops around, they are all low-quality weapons, not as good as the products produced on the clock tower assembly line, but this is normal, after all, the gap between the times lies here.

"When will you leave for Konoha the soonest?" Shen suddenly said, his voice broke through the surrounding noises, and it was accurately transmitted to the caravan boss's ears.

"Well, it will take five days at the fastest. I have already found old friends from the past and entrusted them to sell the products this time. By the way, I will collect the more popular products from Konoha." The boss said honestly. The profits of businessmen are getting higher and higher, but this is based on the higher risk of running a business.

Many former small caravans have all disappeared in recent months, which is why the boss wants to win over a master so much. The premise of making money is to save his life.

"I haven't been to Konoha, is there anything I need to pay attention to?" Shen followed up and asked.

The boss thought about it for a while. He didn’t have any special feelings about the things that need to be paid attention to. Konoha is generally peaceful, and the control of ninjas is still good. The protection fee paid is less than half of that of other villages. This is why they The reason why I like to run there is that no matter what cargo I bring, as long as it arrives safely, I can still earn a lot after taxes and protection fees are deducted.

After pondering for a while, the boss still decided to start from the industry he was familiar with, "Actually, there is nothing to pay attention to. If you have to say it, the purchase price of Konoha's medical equipment has been rising in the past two years. The price of the raw materials of the equipment is also several layers higher, if you want to make some extra money, I can contact you to buy a batch of similar products."

The boss insists on making money. In addition, he is also trying to use benefits to tie Shen and his caravan together.

"The price has gone up for two years? And since it's so profitable, why don't you mainly sell this." Shen continued to chat, and sometimes, some information came out of the chat.

"Because the Fifth Hokage Senju Tsunade has come to power, I heard people say that she attaches great importance to medical ninjas and has been pushing for reforms in this area, so the prices of such things have increased accordingly." The boss thought for a while. Said.

"As for why you don't sell that, it's because this thing has already been rounded up by several big caravans. It doesn't matter if we pick up some corners and sell it. If we sell all of that, let's not talk about whether we can buy it or not. Even if we buy it, we will leave. A country without iron."

"Of course, Master Shen, don't worry, I will definitely not overdo it when I contact you."

Monopoly, sure enough, monopoly is the most profitable business wherever it is.

Shen thought to himself, "Then what are you mainly buying and selling?"

"I sell everything, but recently I mainly buy some iron ingots of average quality and ship them over, and then buy some handicrafts and grains and ship them back." The boss said that he has made money, and he has a lot of confidence. After all, he started from scratch and worked in this harsh environment. How could it be possible for a person of this level to have no skills.

"Konoha's handicrafts and some souvenirs are huge profits, especially some small statues with the Konoha logo, which can be sold at a very high price. This will make everything go well and make money."

Listen carefully to the boss who occasionally nodded when talking about the business. Many things the boss said are in line with the laws of the market. The selling price is proof.

However, this soft power also needs to be backed by hard power. At the very least, most people must not dare to publicly forge the mark, otherwise it will be sold at what price.

"Since the profits are so huge, there are no smugglers?" Shen interjected.

The boss paused, "It seems that you really don't understand Konoha, who dares to smuggle in Konoha, the famous Hyuga clan of Konoha Security Department, their eyes can see through, Dong XZ can't hide from their eyes anywhere .”

"My lord, we can't do this kind of thing. Konoha is very strict on smuggling. If you catch it, you will be punished severely. Sometimes the more ruthless ones will send ninjas here to pursue responsibility."

"The Hyuga Clan." Shen kept the name in his heart, "You can introduce me to any other famous ninjas, the ones you can come into contact with."

The boss was about to speak, but Shen's last half-sentence choked his words back. There are not many Jnin that a small boss like him can get in touch with, let alone those who are widely circulated in the ninja world. .

"Well, you know, my lord. I'm a small businessman. The person I'm a little familiar with is Konoha's blue monster, Jenin Maitekai. I have a long-term relationship with a female ninja named Tiantian in his team. According to the supply agreement, some of the cheaper weapons brought over each time were given to her in batches."

"By the way, there is also a Hyuga clansman in the team of His Excellency Canglan Beast, named Hyuga Neiji, who shined during the Chunin exams a few years ago. He is probably a core member, but I am not familiar with him. .”

The boss thought hard, and kept searching in his memory to see if there were any ninjas worth talking about, "By the way! I also have an autographed book by Konoha Hero Jiraiya-sama, and I have participated in his autograph session , the people drawn in the book really make people have no interest in normal women after reading it."

Shen stopped in his tracks, why did the boss talk about this Konoha hero, Jiraiya, sound like a painter of a picture book?
"No need to talk anymore." Shen interrupted the boss's desire to share, if this continues, the boss will tell the plot of the book, "I will leave in three days, if I can catch up, come with me, I’m sorry if I can’t make it.”

"I can catch up, I can catch up." The boss quickly agreed, at most, he would lose a little profit two days in advance, and if he made a trip to Konoha, those who lost money would come back completely. He can still distinguish this matter.

The boss guessed that Shen might be a samurai of the level of ninja. A ninja of this level may not be able to be hired with money. It is purely luck. Even if he can, the price of escorting the caravan is ridiculously high. It might happen that something happened halfway and it might be sold.

There are very few people like Shen who will come to rescue midway. This kind of person has a strong sense of morality, a strong sense of responsibility, and is very reliable.

After confirming the time to go to Konoha with the boss, during these three days, Shen ran around several nearby towns, trying to search for some useful information, but unfortunately, he found nothing. Instead, he saw several samurai brazenly The fight was more severe.

In addition, Shen also discovered a thing, that is, chakra, tentatively designated as intrusion energy, has invaded many non-living bodies. Things like chakra are as difficult to be decomposed by the planet itself as some plastics. Every time the chakra produced Caratu has re-entered the circulation of the entire planet, encroaching on the space that was originally occupied by other energies.

Under such reciprocating cycles, the extremely high concentration of chakra in this environment appeared, but this also made Shen very puzzled. It has reached this point. If there are really aliens, they should also come out to harvest them. up.

What are they waiting for?Is it possible to wait for Chakra to assimilate the entire planet?And then ate the planet in one go?Thinking about it, it’s impossible. Chakra’s assimilation ability is really strong, but according to Shen’s observations these days, if he wants to infiltrate the entire planet, the estimated time can be taken as a unit of [-] million years. From the perspective of efficiency, this is not worth it. matter.

So, if aliens exist, what trouble might they have?
Three days later, Shen arrived at the starting point according to the agreement. The caravan owner had already bought more than a dozen truckloads of goods, and brought his staff to do the final inspection here.

Among these goods, there is a carriage that belonged to Shen. According to what the boss said when Shen chatted with the boss yesterday, the goods in this carriage should be regarded as a commission for Shen.

Shen, who has been back and forth several times, now has a general understanding of the prices of some commodities in this world. If the carriage is full of the goods the boss said, the price will be several times higher than the commission the boss gave when he came here.

"Hurry up, this little job can't be done well, you guys are living for nothing?!" The boss yelled at the employees. The rain cloth had been covered for several hours, and there were still several carriages that were empty.

At this moment, the boss saw Shen appearing next to the caravan, and hurried over, "Master Samurai, you are here, your goods are ready, and they are all the best iron ingots I can receive." , that quality is awesome!"

Under the leadership of the boss, Shen came to the side of the carriage. The carriage was full of iron ingots that had been preliminarily forged. Because there were too many of them, the rain cloth was pushed open a little.

The boss took out a small hammer from his pocket, tapped the iron ingot twice, and made a crisp sound, "Listen, this is all made by a very skilled craftsman, I watched it myself, it is absolutely unambiguous! "

Shen stretched out his hand, gently broke it, clicked it, and half of the iron ingot broke directly and fell into his hand.

The boss's voice suddenly became quieter. He looked at the cross section of the iron ingot and remained silent for a long time. Judging from the cross section, this iron ingot is not a low-quality product. Why is it like a piece of foam in Shen's hands? !

"Pretty good." Shen said.

The boss sneered, and Shen was ironic, but in fact Shen was speaking from his heart. After all, this is a handmade thing. Considering the limitations of technology, it is not bad to have such a performance.

"When are you leaving?" Shen threw the iron ingot back into the car.

"Let's go right away. According to your request, we will take the big road this time, and we will arrive at the place in half a month." The boss said, and then he quickly started to prepare the goods, in case Shen felt that it was too late to start, so he left first .

　Ask for recommendation tickets, ask for monthly tickets, ask for investment, ask for rewards, ask for subscriptions, ask for everything.
