All the preparations in the early stage are for the final quotation. Whoever's quotation meets the wishes of Dongting Sect and Longquan Taoist Temple will win the bid. The most difficult thing to grasp here is the issue of degree.

If Huaixian Hall and Baihuamen jointly bid for a high price, such as paying 100,000 yuan to the Dongting Sect and 50,000 spiritual stones to Longquan Taoist Temple every year, it will naturally be easy to win the bid, but the prerequisite for this is that the Nanwu Mountain spiritual stone veins are confirmed

It is a very large mineral vein.

Even Gu Zuo, because he had never come into contact with the spirit stone veins before, could not be 100% sure that the brilliant white light he sensed with his soul-searching energy was the super-large mineral vein.

What is big? What is small? What is extra large? What is generally large? Without practice, he cannot answer this question. The only thing he can be sure of is that the area identified by Deacon Shang of the Dongting Sect using the method of searching for dragons and exploring caves

There is indeed a mine under the hillside, and it is not small. It is much larger than the mine veins in the cave that various sects are concerned about.

Therefore, the process of quoting is actually a process of betting on the size of this Lingshi vein. It can be said that the bidders who passed the second review of Longquan Taoist Temple all believe that the Nanwu Mountain vein is genuine.

The mine has a certain scale, but anyone who thinks it may be a fake mine or that even if it is a real mine is a small mine, they are all out.

The bids will basically be based on three levels: medium-sized mines, large-sized mines and super-large-sized mines, which means betting on the annual spiritual stone output of this spiritual mine.

Is it 20,000 yuan? 60,000 yuan? Or 100,000 yuan? On this basis, make a quotation based on the affordability of your sect.

For example, Gu Zuo made an estimate based on the bearing capacity of Huaixian Pavilion. If the Nanwu Mountain Lingshi vein is a medium-sized mine with an annual output of 20,000 Lingshi, his mining costs are as follows:

Labor costs: The annual salary, food and lodging expenses for thirty-two monks (two shifts) are 2,000 guan, with an average of a little more than 5 guan per person. They are recruited through high-paying recruitment and renting prisoners from the Chongxuan Department.

If there are sixteen people in the trap, the expenditure will also be around 2,000 guan. The total of the above is 4,000 guan per year.

Cost amortization of the mining array: The useful life of an mining array is usually twenty years. If a simple straight-line depreciation method is used, the annual depreciation fee is one thousand dollars; in addition to depreciation, it is also necessary to calculate the spirit of maintaining the array.

According to the method of using the magic circle, when the magic circle is fully activated, the sixteen magic circle nodes consume more than 570 spiritual stones every year, which is equivalent to about 740 guan. The total of the above is 1,700 per year.

Forty strings.

The tax cost of Southern Wu State: 10,000 guan to be paid to the court every year, and 5,000 spiritual stones to be paid to Chongxuan Office, which is equivalent to 16,400 guan.

The total annual burden for the above three items is more than 22,000 guan.

If the output of Lingshi is 20,000 pieces per year, equivalent to more than 25,000 pieces, the Lingmei Mine can only achieve a slight surplus, that is, a surplus of more than 3,000 pieces per year, and the quotation must be based on this.

The quotation options that can be chosen at this time are: turn over one thousand spiritual stones to Longquan Taoist Temple every year, offer 20,000 guan to Dongting Sect (also calculated based on cost recovery in twenty years, equivalent to paying 1,000 guan per year), Huaixian Pavilion and Baihua Gate

The annual self-retained surplus is one thousand guan.

If the annual output of spiritual stones is 30,000 pieces, the available quotation plan is: hand over 5,000 spiritual stones to Longquan Taoist Temple every year, make a one-time bid of 100,000 pieces to Dongting Sect, and keep a surplus of 5,000 pieces each year. Considering that Longquan Taoist Temple

According to the Dongting party's bidding demand, such an offer will definitely be rejected by Longquan Taoist Temple. You can adjust between the two. The surrendered spiritual stones and the one-time bid are 8,000 spiritual stones and 40,000 guan respectively.

By analogy, for every additional 10,000 pieces of predicted spiritual stone production, the quoted price will increase by 7,000 spiritual stones and 20,000 guan.

When the annual output of spiritual stones reaches 60,000 pieces, the quotation can be 27,000 spiritual stones and 100,000 guan, and the retained surplus can reach nearly 20,000 guan each year. If it is really certain that there is so much surplus, we can even continue

Increase the quotation and hand over 30,000 spiritual stones to Longquan Taoist Temple every year!

As for the annual output of spiritual stones reaching 100,000, there is basically no need to consider this issue. As long as you predict this output, the Nanwu Mountain vein will definitely belong to you. At present, no one dares to predict like this, including Gu Zuo.

On the other hand, if the annual output of the Lingshi vein is less than 20,000, bidding for this vein will be a loss-making business.

In Baihuamen, the person responsible for bidding for the Nanwu Mountain Lingshi vein is the Nantan Dragon Altar Master. This time, the Dragon Altar Master was not present for the second qualification review, so Gu Zuo could only ask Zhang Fugui for the time being.

Let’s not mention the extremely deep friendship between the two people, but just talk about the closeness of the current cooperation. The quotation was originally going to be made through the Huaixian Pavilion, so Zhang Fugui said: "The Dragon Altar Master originally planned to come over and talk to you, Junior Brother Gu, in person.

But there is something important at home, and I can’t get out of it for a while, so I’ll discuss a rough plan with you.”

The two of them were talking and walking up the mountain. Seeing that there was no one around, Zhang Fugui said: "Since the first month of this year, our Baihuamen have been going to Nanwu Mountain. There is nothing to hide between you and me.

Let me tell you the truth, between Nan Wu Prefecture and Nan Wu Mountain Mineral Veins, the one that the Qingshan Sect Leader and the Dragon Altar Master pay more attention to is Nan Wu Prefecture."

This was quite beyond Gu Zuo's expectation. Other families regarded Nan Wuzhou as a burden, but he didn't expect that Baihua Sect would take this as a priority. However, after thinking for a while, Gu Zuo figured it out and nodded: "This is not a bad idea.

A dignified way."

What is the dignified way? Being open and above board, entering the house, this is the dignified way. The identity of Baihuamen is actually very embarrassing. Although their business is not prohibited by the imperial court and Chongxuan Department - the imperial court even has a special Jiaofang Department.

But after all, it is not on the table. To put it bluntly, this is what everyone needs, but after the need is completed, it is difficult to publicize it everywhere.

Because of this, Baihuamen will never be able to gain the respect of all the sects and sects in the world, let alone be recognized by the Chongxuan Bureau and become an authentic Taoist sect. After they were raided at the Crystal Palace, the largest brothel in Lishui, they only

It's a pity at most that it can become a topic of conversation for other people after dinner. I'm afraid it's more of a joke and no one will "stand up" for them.

There are countless such encounters, which make everyone in Baihuamen headache and angry. If you can capture the entire Nanwu Prefecture, it will be equivalent to having your own military state land. In terms of identity, it can be said that you will save the country through curves, even if you can't take it.

Once you get the card ticket, you can also squeeze into the imperial economic system sequence.

So Gu Zuo said, this is a dignified way to enter the palace.

He then heard Zhang Fugui say: "After taking over Nan Wu Prefecture, Baihuamen is going to invest huge sums of money to make Nan Wu Prefecture a place that everyone yearns for. On our own territory, no one will use it for any reason.

Despite obstruction, slander and even inspection, all guests who come to Southern Wuzhou can spend money and have fun here openly. We hope that, whether it is Liuzhao, Central Plains, or even Beidi, as long as they have money, they will be the first to think of it.

A good place to go is Nan Wuzhou!”
