Chapter 10 Prestige
The sonorous and powerful sound of forging lasted for more than half an hour. Everyone didn't blink for fear of missing a detail.
Finally, the first group of craftsmen stopped, and the black iron in their hands no longer sparked.
The shiny, light blue iron piece lay quietly on the anvil. The light cyan luster is pure and elegant, as clear and clean as the clear sky after the rain.
When Zhang Hao saw it, he smiled at everyone, "Who wants to come and appraise..."
Before he finished speaking, a middle-aged man in the foundation establishment stage jumped up. After bowing to Zhang Hao, he hurriedly stepped forward to appraise it. After a while, he shouted in a sharp voice: "The purity is 89%!"
Wow... Suddenly there was an uproar.
Zhang Hao also narrowed his eyes, such a high purity? Doesn't it mean that if you work harder, you can forge black iron with 90% purity!
When the purity of black iron reaches more than 90%, you can refine magic weapons!
Why with the same method, the family can only forge 85% purity at most; but in the first experiment here, 89% purity was forged? !
This disparity is too large to be accidental; there must be some decisive factor.
So, what exactly caused it?
Zhang Hao glanced around, and quickly focused on the flames. The flames here are spawned with spirit stones and formations, not ground fire!
Zhang Shengde sent a voice transmission: "Xiaohao, what's going on, you got such high-purity black iron."
Zhang Hao is not yet at the foundation building stage, he has no spiritual consciousness, and cannot transmit sound. I could only smile at my father, shook my head slightly, and said it was okay! Perhaps, this will be a good thing.
Soon, the second group also stopped, the purity of black iron was 88%.
"Hey..." Everyone sighed, a little regretful that they didn't reach 90%!
Zhang Hao squinted his eyes and thought for a while, then suddenly shouted to the remaining craftsmen: "Increase the flame temperature, and add another set of spirit stones. Also, replace with a higher-level spirit spring."
Zhang Hao's words were immediately carried out, and someone immediately took out the spirit stone. The temperature of the flame increased rapidly, and the flame showed a mellow golden yellow color because of the aura, and there were wisps of gorgeous bright blue in the golden yellow color.
A new spiritual spring is delivered, the hammer falls again, and the sparks fly again.
Under the trading desk, heavy gasps began to be heard, and everyone's eyes widened, staring closely at the remaining craftsmen.
Two moments passed quietly, and finally there were no more sparks flying, and the three groups stopped almost at the same time.
This time, before Zhang Hao could speak, someone rushed up and made an appraisal first.
"The third group has a purity of 93%!"
"The fourth group has a purity of 92%!"
"The fifth group has a purity of 93%!"
Everyone was scrambling to personally identify it, and it was a little chaotic for a while.
"Quiet!" Zhang Hao suddenly shouted, "Everyone, queue up for identification!"
Everyone hesitated for a moment, and they actually lined up honestly. At this moment, even the masters of the Foundation Establishment Stage obeyed the command of Zhang Hao, a boy who only had the seventh floor of the Qi Refining Stage.
Everyone lined up and passed the five anvils, personally appraising the black iron on them, and exclaimed one after another.
This time, everyone saw it clearly: Zhang Hao used other craftsmen, tools, and materials to forge black iron with a purity of 93%. This shows that the Zhang family really has no secrets!
Another two moments passed, and everyone stood under the trading platform again, only Zhang Hao and the craftsman were on the platform.
Zhang Hao said slowly: "The following is an announcement of some decisions of the Zhang family. That is the second thing mentioned before.
Starting today, the Zhang family will withdraw from the black iron retail field and fully turn to the black iron wholesale field.
In order to facilitate wholesale transactions, the Zhang family created a new unit of measurement: the ton.
One ton is two thousand catties.
In other words, the minimum batch size is two thousand catties. Please do not disturb if the purchase amount is less than two thousand catties.
thanks. "
After all, Zhang Hao held his head high and was about to step off the trading desk.
"Wait, Young Master Zhang!" Someone shouted, "Before we were instigated by the villain and caused trouble to the Zhang family, we sincerely apologize."
Zhang Hao said with a smile: "It's okay, we can't be as knowledgeable as villains."
Everyone burst into laughter.
Someone asked again: "Young Master Zhang, the Zhang family has disclosed the black iron smelting technology, what request do you have?"
Everyone quieted down again in an instant, looking at Zhang Hao quietly.
Zhang Hao turned around, glanced around, and said in a deep voice: "If you want to talk about requirements, there is really one. That is... I don't know when it started, everyone is used to low-price competition.
Low prices lead to poor quality, which in turn leads to further price reductions.
I hope this vicious cycle ends today.
I hope that the black iron industry in the future will be a competition of quality. We should do our best to provide high-quality black iron for the market. "
These words are sonorous and powerful, and they also speak to everyone's hearts.
Everyone was silent for a while.
"Leave these five pieces of black iron on the trading desk as a warning."
Zhang Hao walked down the trading desk step by step, and joined Zhang Shengde and others; everyone consciously moved out of the way and watched everyone in the Zhang family go away.
After Zhang Hao and others disappeared around the corner, the scene was silent for a while, and suddenly someone shouted: "Please leave the Qian family, you are not welcome here."
"Yes, please leave the Qian family."
"leave!"
"Go away!"
"Get out of Ninghe County!"...
Qian Shaoxian's complexion was as dark as the bottom of a pot. It's over!
The Qian family used all means to get the technology from the Zhang family, and now it is made public like this, and even further, it can directly smelt black iron with a purity of 93%.
In other words, everything the Qian family did before was in vain! Now he has been expelled by everyone, and he has no place to stand.
How could this be?
Qian Shaoxian led the members of the Qian family back to the store in a daze, looking at the smashed and shattered store with a blank expression.
After a while, Qian Shaoxian suddenly roared: "Zhang family, let's wait and see!"
…………
"Nephew, isn't it good!" Zhang Hao received countless compliments when he returned to the store. Zheng Changqiu was the first to send compliments, but behind the compliments was Zheng Changqiu's frightened eyes:
The performance of this young man today made Zheng Changqiu a little frightened; he is definitely a monster. In particular, Zhang Hao's counterattack against the Qian family made Zheng Changqiu faintly terrified.
After thinking for a while, Zheng Changqiu pointed to the 75 tons of black iron around him, and asked, "Nephew, you see we've been arguing here for a long time, but we haven't made any progress. Do you have any suggestions?"
Zhang Hao did his part: "Since Uncle Zheng asked, then the little nephew is making a fool of himself.
It's better for everyone to buy one or two yuan first, and then go back and think about it. At noon ten days later, the Zhang family will hold a banquet here to entertain everyone. "
"That's how it should be!" After Zhu Yuantang said, he stepped forward and ordered two pieces of black iron, one with 86% purity and one with 75% purity, and paid at a 10% discount. Because it was a large transaction, Zhu Yuantang paid directly with middle-grade spirit stones.
Afterwards, everyone made their moves one after another, and finally Zhang Shengde left three pieces of black iron, which he would not sell anymore, saying that he would keep them for display.
In the blink of an eye, the Zhang family received millions of spiritual stones; Zhang Shengde's eyes were a little halo: the turning point has been too great these days, have you?
After arranging his subordinates to send Xuan Tie away, Liu Xian of Yunying Trading Company suddenly smiled and said: "Brother Zhang (Zhang Shengde), today is your Zhang family's 'big day', you must treat us.
I heard that a batch of rare treasures came to Jiuzhen Tower recently, but it made my mouth water. "
"Jiuzhen Building? Yes, go to Jiuzhen Building!"
Everyone is active again.
"Okay, okay, Jiuzhen Building!" Zhang Shengde laughed, "Let's go!"
