Chapter 305
"Congratulations, among your ten stones, there are two Taotie gold, which is two taels of silver!"
"Brother, among the ten stones you have, you don't have a single piece of gold. Just keep looking for it."
Holding rocks and turning them into sand is actually showing off your muscles.
Although those who did not get the money were unwilling to do so, they did not dare to provoke Qiao Mu.
Soon, as time passed, it was already noon.
Qiao Mu has given away all the five hundred taels of silver he borrowed from Chen Gongfeng.
"Mr. Qiao, I'm here again." Lao Yang, an old man with a goatee, came to Qiao Mu. He carried a sack on his shoulder and grinned at Qiao Mu, showing his yellow teeth.
He untied the bag on his shoulder, and the stones inside suddenly overflowed like water, and they were all the size of eggs.
Lao Yang didn't sleep all night last night. He spent the whole night picking up stones by the river and picked up a whole sack.
Although he didn't sleep, he was very energetic, not sleepy at all, and in high spirits.
"You picked up a lot of stones, and there was a lot of gold among them, but..." Qiao Mu spread his hands:
"I have run out of silver, so the purchase of Taotie gold ends here."
"Ah? It's over like this? It's only been a day?" Lao Yang was dumbfounded, but he didn't dare to cause trouble in front of Qiao Shu, who could turn rocks into sand at will.
Lao Yang suddenly withered as he stood there. He didn't want the bag of stones anymore and turned around to leave.
"Wait a minute." However, Qiao Mu stopped him:
"I've run out of silver, but that doesn't mean I won't accept gold."
"I'll exchange your bag of stones for something else."
After saying that, Qiao Mu took out a piece of gold the size of an egg from the storage bag at his waist. The gold had complex patterns and was engraved with a pattern of a gluttonous beast. It looked really good.
"This is a piece of Taotie gold that has been revealed." Qiao Mu said with a faint smile:
"The Taotie Gold Magical Artifact has been hidden for a long time, but as long as it attracts popularity, it will show its original appearance in just a few days."
"This gluttonous gold is your reward."
"From now on, a sack of stones will be exchanged for a Taotie gold, first come first served, while supplies last."
"Gold...this is gold!" Lao Yang's eyes widened.
It's been a big ups and downs. Yesterday I thought I picked up money for nothing, today I thought my chance to pick up money was gone, but I immediately got a piece of gold the size of an egg...
Even though Lao Yang is an old gambler who has been gambling all his life, he has never experienced such ups and downs!
"From stones to silver, to stones to gold!"
"Is there such a beautiful thing in the world?"
Everyone rushed to tell each other, and the crowd became more and more excited.
"Yes, of course." Qiao Mu replied loudly:
"I, Qiao Rong, came to the city in search of gold. To be honest with you, I came here just to make a fortune."
"I look for gold to make a fortune, and you work for me to make a fortune. We all make money together, become rich together, and become prosperous together."
"Folks, opportunities wait for no one. The total number of Taotie Gold is 10,081, and the total number is limited. In other words, the Taotie Gold in these 100,000 mountains is becoming increasingly difficult to discover."
“First come, first served, no waiting after the expiration date!”
The discussion among the people gradually became boiling. The things they received changed from silver to gold. How could they not be excited?
Outside the crowd.
The head of the Luo family frowned as he listened to the commotion here, feeling uneasy in his heart.
He didn't quite understand what Qiao Rong was going to do, but he had a vague idea... This person was probably not here to steal business from them.
Obviously, Taotie gold and Golden Township gold are the same thing, just with different packaging.
The head of the Luo family wanted to keep the wealth away from outsiders. After getting the gold, he first made money for the clan members and kept it secret from the outside world. He only coaxed unsuspecting outsiders like the gambler Lao Yang.
But Qiao Long's tactics were different from theirs. Not only did Qiao Long steal their Philosopher's Stone and the Gold from the Golden Land, but he also made the matter a big deal as soon as he got it, attracting the attention of more than a thousand people in one day.
"If the people of Taotie City are defrauded of their money, they will surely be wary in the future. How will our Luo family, who are engaged in the gold business, make money by then?" The head of the Luo family frowned, and gradually Realize something isn't right.
"Luo Cheng, yesterday I asked you to report to the official in secret. How did the city lord react?" the clan leader asked in a low voice.
The lord of this Taotie City is naturally no ordinary person.
Not only was he a court official, but he was also a powerful martial artist.
At the beginning, the head of the Luo family also hired Chen Congfeng based on the principle of cherishing a treasure and being afraid that the city lord would cause trouble after the Luo family became prosperous.
"The city lord... asked Qiao Long's name, then he didn't say anything. He seemed not to care about the matter and advised us not to provoke him." Luo Cheng, a businessman, replied.
The head of the Luo family felt a thump in his heart.
The more powerful a martial artist is, the more he seems to be in awe of the Qiao family...
From this point of view, the Qiao family's heel was more terrifying than they had previously imagined.
"Then there's nothing we can do. Let's just wait and see what happens." The head of the Luo family sighed.
.....
The third day, the fourth day, the fifth day passed...
The gold rush brought by the Qiao family swept through the entire Taotie City like a storm.
By the time the sixth day passed, Qiao Long's name had spread throughout the city and he had become a hotshot figure in the entire Taotie City.
The stones he purchased have almost filled the guest rooms of the inn.
It was also in the early morning of the sixth day.
Qiao Mu opened the bag full of stones. What he saw was no longer stones, but a bag full of gold.
"The Luo family's Philosopher's Stone is really effective. In just a few days, there was so much gold that was hard to distinguish between real and fake."
Qiao Mu left the inn and walked out.
Now that the stone has turned into gold, he will make something new.
When we walked to the open space outside Luo's Ancestral Hall again, there was already a sea of people.
"Master Qiao."
"Master Qiao is here."
Many mountain people were already waiting there, and they greeted Qiao Mu when they came.
"I have something to say today." Qiao Mu said:
"I didn't expect that the folks in Taotie City would be so enthusiastic and collect so many stones so quickly. My gold has also been divided."
The mountain people who came over carrying sacks of stones looked at each other with disappointment evident in their expressions.
Too.
With Qiao Mu's method of making money, even if he has a huge fortune, he still has to spread it out.
The silver fortune is over, and so is the gold. Then, there will be no wealth left. Does this mean that Qiao Mu’s acquisition of Taotie Gold is over?
"I'm sorry." Qiao Mu said:
"The Taotie Gold Divine Artifact has disappeared. It will take several days to change from stone form to gold."
"The Taotie Stone I purchased has not yet been converted into Taotie Gold." Qiao Mu said sadly:
"If we wait slowly for the transformation, the acquisition of the Taotie Stone will be delayed. So I thought of a way."
Qiao Mu said plausibly:
"Didn't I share a lot of your gold a few days ago?"
"Now the capital chain is broken... I mean you lend me some gold first, and after three days, I will repay the original amount and give you 10% of the interest."
"In three days, you can earn 10% interest?" Gambler Lao Yang's heart was pounding:
"Master Qiao has made the villagers a lot of money these days. I guess he is not a lie."
"After all, it was all thanks to Master Qiao that I was able to get those dozens of taels of silver from Luo Cheng's grandson."
"To say the least, even if it's a lie, the gold I have on hand in the past few days was earned from Master Qiao."
"This is a big gamble." Gambler Lao Yang's heart beat faster:
"If you win the bet, you can earn 10% interest."
"If you lose the bet, you will only make less money. Didn't I make a lot of gold and silver from Master Qiao these days?"
With this thought in his mind, the gambler Lao Yang was the first to step forward and slapped the money bag into Qiao Mu's hand.
"We all see what Master Qiao has done these days, I believe you!"
Lao Yang covered his heart, his heart was beating fast, his face was red, and he felt inexplicably excited.
Among the crowd, there were many people who had similar thoughts to gambler Lao Yang.
With Lao Yang taking the lead, people gradually stepped forward.
The crowd became lively again.
Far away from the crowd.
The head of the Luo family watched the movement here quietly and finally sighed:
"Good guy, this guy surnamed Qiao finally found out and started borrowing money."
"Fortunately, I warned my fellow clan members in advance not to wade into this muddy water."
But after he finished speaking, he didn't hear the response from the person next to him.
Looking back, the young people of the Luo family beside him were looking in the direction of Qiao Mu from a distance, almost with eyes wide open:
"Clan leader, this business is really profitable. You can earn 10% interest in three days."
"Only a lucrative business like Taotie Gold can support such a high interest rate."
"If the Qiao family's acquisition business is suspended for one day, the losses will be astronomical. No wonder he dares to borrow money like this."
"Sigh... If we had joined the gang like that gambler Lao Yang, wouldn't we have made a lot of money by now?"
"After all, this business is not a loss anyway, at most it's just a small loss." The younger members of the Luo family spoke with a hint of resentment.
The implication seemed to be that he was blaming the head of the Luo family for not letting them get involved in this business.
The head of the Luo family's eyes widened and he couldn't help but cover his heart. Suddenly he felt a little dizzy.
"What a sin..."
The head of the Luo family didn't want to stay here any longer, so he left in a blink of an eye, out of sight.
However, after the clan leader left, Qiao Mu separated from the crowd and walked towards this side.
"Luo Cheng?" He looked at the businessman Luo Cheng, whom he had met briefly before, and the other Luo family members who were secretly observing around him:
"I want to discuss a business deal with your Luo family... let's discuss it in the ancestral hall."
Merchant Luo Cheng calmly glanced at the direction in which the head of the Luo family left, with many thoughts in his mind.
During this period of time, the patriarch prohibited them from contacting the Qiao family or participating in the Qiao family's business, which really made them anxious and unbearable.
The children of the clan are actually not without complaints.
Luo Cheng finally nodded:
"Master Qiao, please."
....
Just a few days later.
When Qiao Mu entered Luo's ancestral hall again, it was no longer what it used to be.
Before that he was an unknown foreigner.
Now he is Master Qiao who is stirring up the whole city and is very popular in the whole Taotie City.
"Everyone, you didn't believe me when I said I was here to discuss business." Qiao Mu said:
"So I had to do a little trick."
