Chengnan Restaurant.

"Public opinion is surging, the time has come?"

"Wait!"

"What are you waiting for?"

"When people come out to refute the rumors, you have to do it at the best time, either you don't press it, if you want to press it, you will crush it to death, I want to make Gong Chang lose all his money!"

"Good!"

The two executive treasurers directly decided and began to prepare for the final battle.

……

Chengdong Market, which is the largest and most prosperous market in Wuyin, has countless shops, and is formed by a street in the middle of the rice-character interlacing.

On the east side of the street, in the middle of an ordinary house.

Although this is an ordinary house, it does not occupy a large area, and the courtyard is only an ordinary two-entry house, but there are dozens of men in this house, the oldest in his early twenties, and the youngest is only fifteen or sixteen years old, all of them are elite players.

The person at the head is Tan Zong, who is the youngest and most majestic.

Tan Zong's not tall body sat cross-legged in the middle hall, holding a book in his hand and looking at it with relish, he was very interested in all the information on it, he had read books since he was a child, and he had a good understanding ability, and it was all in the vernacular, it was too easy to understand.

"The confrontation between the three armies, the news comes first, and the detailed work is as heavy as Mount Tai!"

"The one in brocade clothes is dazzling, but he walks the world at night, and he is silent!"

"Only the invisible enemy is the most terrifying, and only the enemy around you is the most terrifying......"

"A good work, learn to be lonely, learn to grope in the dark, learn to move forward in trust and betrayal, learn to disguise before and after others, learn to be honest in the heart......"

“……”

Tan Zong is only fourteen or fifteen years old, the hardships of life have made him mature early, and the wandering of the Yellow Turban Army has made him learn to be alone early, but he is very weak in knowledge after all, and he is now like a sponge, frantically absorbing knowledge.

His future seems to have been shaped by this small book......

"Childe, the situation outside has changed!" A young man in Tsing Yi walked in and saluted respectfully.

"Say!"

Tan Zong is now under Mu Jing, second only to Lei Hu, Lei Hu Chongwu, known as Mu Jing's first henchman, but he doesn't think so, if Lei Hu is a giant knife in Mu Jing's hand to deter ten thousand armies, then he is the invisible dark blade in Mu Jing's hand, Mu Jing will not avoid him in big and small things, trust him, and externally, he is also a person with the status of a son.

"Report to the son, at present, because the price of food in Wuyin County continues to rise, the people's hearts are in turmoil, and the market is also chaotic, and there are many ill-intentioned people who organize the people and begin to crash into some grain stores!"

The young man in Tsing Yi carefully reported the situation: "There has been bloodshed now, and if it goes on like this, there will be casualties!" ”

"Now you go and do two things!"

"Please!"

"First, pass on this matter to the young master word for word!"

"Yes!"

"Second, immediately send down the order, and everyone under my command, including the recruited scholars, ordinary ruffians, and storytellers in the wine shop, will comprehensively refute the rumors!"

"Refute rumors?" The young man in Tsing Yi was stunned, but the rumors were released by themselves, and now they have to come out to refute the rumors.

"Yes!"

Tan Zong's eyes flashed like lightning, and he said: "The theme of this time is that the Wuyin army marched out of the northern suburbs, garrisoned the southern border of Runan, and the county lieutenant Zhang Chuan angrily issued a military order, and he still has a breath, and he will never let go of a thief going south!" ”

"No!"

The young man in Tsing Yi looked solemn and took the order to leave.

********************

Gong family.

Listening to the news coming back from outside, Gong Chang's expression became more and more gloomy: "Pass my order, reduce the price!" ”

The danger he felt.

There is a strong sense of danger, as if the sky is about to fall, and the only way out is to take the initiative to reduce the price and stabilize the market price, even if it is a little loss, the grain of 100,000 stones cannot be smashed in his own hands.

Otherwise...... The Gong family is finished.

"No!"

"Reducing the price is equivalent to us doing it for nothing!"

"The head of the family, isn't it ...... to reduce the price now? Naught! ”

Some shopkeepers don't know the reason, and their eyes are blinded by the price of coaxed up, and they are somewhat unwilling.

"I said cut the price immediately!"

Gong Chang said coldly.

"Master Gong, don't!"

"Master Gong, now that everyone has borrowed food, if the price is reduced, won't we lose a lot!"

"Master Gong, maybe this is just a small twist and turn, some dissatisfied people, what are they afraid of, when they don't have rice to cook, they will naturally go back and buy it, we can't mess with ourselves!"

A group of businessmen and family heads are also persuading.

After all, this time not only Gong Chang borrowed food from the Shi clan for emergency, but many families who opened grain stores have already borrowed it, and now that the time is right, the highest grain price in Wuyin's history has been raised, how can they let go of the opportunity to make money.

There is a sentence in Capital that is very true, Marx said: If capital has 50 percent profits, it will take risks, if it has 100 percent profits, it will dare to trample on all the laws of the world, and if it has 300 percent profits, it will dare to commit any crime, even at the risk of being hanged!

That's where business comes in.

"Confused!"

Gong Chang looked at the merchants with scarlet eyes in front of him, and his heart was very tired.

If you are not afraid of god-like opponents, you are afraid of pig-like teammates.

"Oh no!"

"Head of the family, something is wrong!"

A blue-clad servant stumbled in.

"What's going on?" Gong Chang's pupils changed color, and his face was gloomy.

"Report to the head of the family, it is rumored outside that the county captain Zhang Chuan has led his troops north to you, stationed troops at the junction of Wuyin and Runan, and also issued a military order, a breath is still alive, and a thief will never be let go south!" The blue-clothed servant gasped.

"How is that possible?"

"How dare the county soldiers go north?"

A group of merchants looked at each other.

"It's true, some people swear that the big camp in the northwest suburbs has begun to pack up their things, and is ready to pull out the camp and go north!" The blue-clothed servant said.

"It's over!"

Gong Chang was cold.

A rumor is born, and a rumor dies.

Lose the atmosphere of war, then the price of food ......

"Pass my order, all stores, immediately reduce the price of two hundred yuan, and sell it at one thousand yuan per stone of millet!" Gong Chang used all the strength of his body and roared, he had to take the initiative to keep the price of food, but it was too late.

……

In the county, Jingping Commercial Bank took the Sun family, Liu family, and Kun family in the commercial bank as the main shop, and newly established a full 37 grain shops, arranged the whole city, and these grain shops began to reduce prices.

"From now on, all grain stores in Jingping shops will sell rice at a reduced price!"

"Nine hundred dollars a stone!"

"So cheap, I'll buy it!"

"Bring me three stones!"

"Give me two stones!"

“……”

"The Gong family's grain shop has also begun to reduce the price, eight hundred and eighty yuan a stone of millet!"

"Let's go!"

"The Bai family's grain shop is also reducing its price, as long as eight hundred and seventy yuan a stone!"

"I'm going to buy a few stones, too!"

"Although it is said that the county lieutenant has led the troops north, but this war still doesn't know when it will come, so while there is still some money left at home, hurry up and exchange it for food!"

“……”

As the price of hot food dropped, a wave of purchases began to ignite in the city.

……

……

Chengnan Restaurant.

"Gong Chang reacted too quickly!" Sun Hao was a little surprised.

"Don't underestimate this person, he can go from an idle homeless person to the first businessman in Wuyin today, it is one thing to have the support of the Shi clan, and it can't hide his ability to do business, in the past, my Zhang clan avoided him for three points, but not only because he was backed by the Shi clan!"

Zhang Heng played with the wine cup in his hand and said coldly: "This person is decisive and ruthless enough, if he is forced to hurry, it is not impossible to drag us to die together!" ”

"Isn't that what you want him to do?"

Sun Hao glanced at Zhang Heng and said: "The fish is dead, but he doesn't know that the alliance of Jingping Commercial Bank is not his scattered alliance, our funds are shared, so we can afford to lose, as long as they lose money, they will disperse immediately, so he is doomed to the Gong family to fall!" ”

"The Gong family is undefeated, it depends on whether the Shi clan is ruthless or not, if the Shi clan will help, we can only cripple them, and if we can't kill the Gong family, the plan to unify the merchants will also be frustrated!"

"The Shi clan is ruthless or not, don't you Zhang family know best?" Sun Hao said calmly: "What they are best at is not sending charcoal in the snow, but falling into the well!" ”

Zhang Heng's resentment towards the scholars was not caused overnight, the Zhang family was also supported by the scholars, but a business crisis put the Zhang family in danger, the Zhang family asked for help from the scholars, but was abandoned by the scholars, and was forced to sell property to pay off debts, if it were not for the Zhang family out of Zhang Heng such a strange talent, I am afraid that Zhang's silk has already become history.

"Keep cutting prices!" Zhang Heng's face was expressionless, but a crazy light flashed in the depths of his eyes.

"Hmm!" Sun Hao nodded.

……

Three days, just three days, the price of grain in Wuyin County fell like a roller coaster.

"Our Gong family pays customers a lot, and now it costs six hundred dollars and one stone of grain, come and buy it!"

"Our Jingping shop will drop another fifty yuan, five hundred and fifty yuan a stone!"

“……”

"The Gong family bought millet for 500 yuan and a stone, and there was no such store in this village!"

"Jingping shop for four hundred and fifty dollars per stone of millet!"

“……”

"Four hundred dollars a stone!"

In the end, the price of grain was fixed at around 400 yuan, which should be the lowest price in the history of the entire Wuyin.
