Chapter 216 Trading and Gossiping

"Ding, congratulations player Shang Ji, your general Kou Xian has successfully promoted to the second-rate general!"

In the hall, it had been a long time since Li Taining and his son reappeared in Heishuisai, and they were chatting happily with Shang Ji.

Shang Ji was interrupted by the sudden system prompt, and couldn't help but froze for a second.

Since distributing martial souls to his generals on a large scale, Shang Ji has been able to receive system notifications for his generals to advance every now and then. Although he has gradually gotten used to it, he is inevitably a little distracted.

Seeing this, Li Taining, who was always paying attention to Shang Ji, immediately asked earnestly: "General Shang, what's the matter? Is something wrong? Should we avoid it for a while?"

Shang Ji came to his senses, smiled and waved his hands and said, "It's all right, it's just that one of his ineffective generals has advanced to second-rate rank, it's no big deal, let's continue!"

Li Taining and Li Minghui immediately looked at each other when they heard the words, after a while, Li Taining cupped his hands and said: "General Shang has so many talents, I really envy you!"

If an ordinary person said that, Li Taining would naturally think that he was pretending, but it is different. Now in the entire "Beacon", who doesn't know that Shang Ji has been promoted to a first-class general, and he is the number one player master in "Beacon". It may be a big event for other lord players to promote a general under his command to the second rank, but it is nothing to Shang Ji.

"Hey, Kou Xian has never been a good guy, but now he can advance to a second-rate general, which is worthy of my cultivation." Even so, the smile on Shang Ji's face showed that he still has a high opinion of Kou Xian .

"Kou Xian?!" Li Taining was startled, and shouted out of composure.

Kou Xian joined the Black Armored Army when Shang Ji was still in Baiyun Village, he was one of the earliest veterans in the army, Li Taining also knew him.

It's just that Li Taining couldn't figure out why a small pawn at the beginning could grow into a second-rate general whom he looked up to!

With a forced smile, Li Taining said: "General Shang is a good guide and has cultivated countless talents, which is admirable!"

"Okay, let's not talk about these small things, let's talk about the heart of the town!" Shang Ji waved his hand and said with a smile.

Shang Ji specially invited Li Taining here today, just for the heart of the town.

Originally, Shangji only had 300,000 gold left, and it was not easy to maintain the monthly military pay and daily consumption of his subordinates, not to mention that Qin Kai was ordered to train Dayan iron cavalry.

Counting on his fingers, there are only four town hearts that Shang Ji can sell at present.

Before Shang Ji contacted Yanhuang, Yanhuang expressed his interest and directly bought two pieces. Each bid is 500,000 gold!

This price is only a quarter of the original town heart, but Shang Ji also expressed his understanding. After all, that is the first town heart in the entire "Beacon", and its real value and political significance far exceed its own value.

Afterwards, the natural price fell sharply, which was also expected by Shang Ji. To be honest, it was a surprise to be able to sell five hundred thousand gold merchants.

Although Yanhuang said he had a big family and a great business, after all, he had considerable financial resources. After eating two more town hearts, he was temporarily saturated. The other primary town heart and one intermediate town heart in Shang Ji's hands had no place to go.

Before that, Yanhuang had planned to take the intermediate one into his pocket, and offered a high price of one million, but Shang Ji was not satisfied and directly refused.

Yanhuang didn't force it either, it seemed that their Yanhuang City hadn't reached the bottleneck of a small town yet, and Yanhuang didn't have the idea of ​​gaining the heart of a mid-level town through their own efforts.

It's embarrassing enough for Tangtang Yanhuang to ask for something from a casual player, and it can be said to be a coincidence once, how can Yanhuang mess up like this one after another?

Shangji didn't force it either. Now that Yanhuang was saturated, Shangji turned to look for private buyers.

In this way, naturally the first limited object is Li Taining's Baiyun Town.

That's why Li Taining and his son came to talk today.

"Mr. Li, for the sake of our previous friendship, I will not be sloppy with you, and I will tell you directly that Yanhuang spent 500,000 gold for each town heart before.

See how much you can give! "

Although the matter of Yanhuang buying the heart of the town from Shangji has not been made public, but with Li Taining's contacts, he can naturally find out. Shang Ji didn't intend to cheat him, and directly told him frankly.

Li Taining was taken aback when he heard the words, obviously he was not used to Shang Ji's direct way of negotiating.

But after all, it is an old fox in the shopping mall. He quickly realized it and said with a slight smile: "General Shang speaks quickly, I admire you!"

After a pause, Li Taining continued: "Since Yanhuang paid 500,000 yuan, we don't want to be less than this amount. Let's do it, we Baiyun Town will pay 600,000 yuan to buy the Town Heart from Captain Shang! "

Shang Ji glanced at Li Taining in surprise, not understanding what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd, although the two of them did have some friendship, but no matter how you look at it, the friendship between the two is not worth a hundred thousand gold? As a businessman, Li Taining would not give himself money for no reason.

Sure enough, Li Taining continued: "However, I also have an unfeeling request, and I ask General Shang to agree."

"Please speak, Mr. Li!" Shang Ji waved his hand, motioning for Li Taining to continue.

"I hope that General Shang can give me the next promise. When Baiyun Town is in trouble in the future, the general can help next time!" Li Taining said slowly.

"Of course, it doesn't matter if General Shang refuses to agree, we will still buy this town heart at a price of 600,000 gold!"

Shang Ji laughed immediately when he heard the words, bowed his head in thought for a moment, nodded slowly, and said: "Okay, I will agree. In the future, Baiyun Town will need it, so I will help once within the scope of my ability!"

"Thank you, General!" Li Taining was overjoyed when he heard that, he got up and thanked him.

"Since this is the case, then we have made an agreement. We will go back to raise funds next time. Within five days at the latest, we will send 600,000 gold to the black water plug!"

Seeing that the matter was confirmed, Li Taining immediately resigned in unison.

"Mr. Li, go slowly, Guo Biao, I will send Mr. Li off!" Shang Ji said loudly.

When he left the range of the Blackwater Fortress, Li Minghui couldn't hold back anymore, and asked curiously: "Father, why did you pay an extra 100,000 gold? Just for an illusory promise? Is it worth it?"

One hundred thousand gold is not a small number for Baiyun Town. The Li family is rich, but it is definitely not enough to give away one hundred thousand gold.

"Stupid boy!" Li Taining was obviously very happy, and explained with a smile and curse: "What you are doing is not Shang Ji's promise, but an appearance!"

"What appearance?"

"Our Baiyun Town will be merged with several nearby lord players, you always know that, right?"

Li Minghui nodded his head, of course he knew about this. There are not many lord players nearby, and there were three lord players in Wangquan County at the earliest.

Baiyun Village is the best developed and successfully promoted to a small town. Those who develop and grow will naturally go bankrupt, and many nearby lord players are on the verge of bankruptcy due to poor management.

After a series of ups and downs, Li Taining took these closed territories back to himself. At the same time, it united with several well-developed large-scale forces to form a new force centered on Baiyun Town.

It is precisely because of the alliance of several forces that Li Taining gradually began to be able to plan the promotion of Baiyun Town. Otherwise, the purchase fee of the town heart of 500,000 gold alone would bankrupt the Li family! Not to mention the massive resources needed for subsequent promotions.

"Our Li family is the biggest force in the new Baiyun City, and you will also be the lord of Baiyun City! But, remember, we are not the only force, and the other forces should not be underestimated. Although we have a good relationship now, Who can say for sure what will happen in the future? Now that they have Shang Ji's promise, if they want to be hostile to my Li family, they have to weigh Shang Ji behind us!"

Li Taining proudly explained to the stunned Li Minghui.
