“It was just too hot and we had a lot of ice but unfortunately, a lot of melting.”
“According to the rules, and also according to our profit, we roughly estimate that the price will have to be at least ten times higher to keep our money. But ……”
Ten times, now after the morning’s flurry of trading, the price had been climbing to ten purple crystals a catty of ice, if it was to be doubled ten times, that was a whole hundred purple crystals.
But how long could a catty of ice last in these conditions?
I’m afraid it wouldn’t last half an hour.
How can this be?
Some people have done the math, just to have a quiet day today, it would take at least a few dozen pounds of ice to make it, and if this is going to be ten times the price, then I guess a lot of people would have to be
tapped out of their wallets.
“But we are also aware that if we sell it at ten times the price, everyone may still be able to afford it today, but what about tomorrow? What about the day after tomorrow?!”
“I’ve heard Han Qianqian say that this kind of weather will last for at least a whole week.”
A week?!
The gang became even more annoyed, after all, the week was really making people feel black before their eyes.
It’s not as simple as making all their money in one day, the price of ice is still going up and up.
“So, we’ve adjusted our strategy a bit.”
“The money, we can
earn, after all, we are in business, but we can’t earn everyone’s black money, let alone their lives.”
“However, the strategy we are still doing the negotiation, so maybe people still need to wait.”
Someone hurriedly spoke up and said, “So how long do we need to wait?”
“This cannot be told for the time being, because this is something we need a few people to discuss with each other as well. As we all know, we can’t be one boss, after all, buy ice such a large sum of money, so the result is that several bosses need to discuss together, there may be a moment to discuss it, there may be everyone has been difficult to unify their views, the delay will also drag on for a longer time ……”
“However, everyone rest assured that we will do our best to give everyone as soon as possible
a reply as well as a satisfactory answer.”
With those words, the man continued to place the wooden sign of suspension on the table and got up to go back.
At this, the crowd exploded.
It was so damn hot, and suddenly they couldn’t buy ice, wasn’t that like killing them?
How could this be?
“This …… this how also suddenly so ah?”
“Yes, there is still a discussion, if the discussion is too long, then …… we will have to wait for a long time? It’s okay to wait, but the problem is that the damn heat won’t stop just because we’re waiting.”
“Yes, think of the next few hours or more we’ll be exposed to the sweltering heat.
This …… is not asking us to die?”
There was a lot of wailing and many people wanted to cry.
“Let’s go to the city lord and ask him to think of a solution, right? Otherwise, if we really wait like this, I’m afraid that many of us won’t be able to wait until they finish discussing the matter and will already be dead in the same place.”
“What’s the use of looking for the city lord? People sell ice which is everywhere reasonable, the city lord is here and he can only do nothing but dry heat.”
Yes, a little bit sensible, in fact, it is very clear, whether the merchant is intentionally not selling ice and deliberately delayed, but the obvious people’s reasons are very sufficient and justified.
They have the absolute truth.
At this point, with a loud shout, the City Lord arrived ……
