This makes sense, if the three families of Wu Pan and Lu still have tea on hand, they will inevitably sell it one after another, and it is impossible to divide it into two groups, Wang Chao took a long breath and said with a happy face: "We finally survived." ”

When he heard that Fu Tai Xing had sold 18,800 quintals, he was almost out of breath, and the tea leaves in the hands of the Thirteen Elements were completely beyond his imagination, and he was really worried to the extreme, for fear that the amount of the Thirteen Elements would exceed the funds they raised, and they would not be able to eat it on the spot, and it would be all over!

He Shutai didn't dare to relax at all, looked at Chen Jiawang, and asked, "How much silver is left?" ”

Chen Jiawang replied: "The Tea Industry Association and the Thirteen Lines have sold a total of 140,000 quintals, and there are still more than 1.5 million left. ”

"Brother Zi'an, are you worried about those retail merchants?" Wang Chaoyi said in a relaxed tone: "Don't worry, since we have supported the sale of the Tea Industry Guild and the Thirteen Lines, those retail merchants will not follow the sale, and will inevitably wait for the price of tea to rise, and order to go down and raise the price of tea by one penny." ”

Raising the price of tea by one penny, if it is announced that the Shunde silk merchants have won a big victory, it is enough to stimulate the enthusiasm of everyone.

Tea prices should not rise too fast and too urgently, and it is necessary to give a group of retail businessmen the opportunity to intervene in the tea market, and we must also leave enough space for the increase in tea prices, so as to attract more people to enter the tea market for speculation.

Chen Jiawang, who was waiting, turned around and left, and He Shutai said with a solemn face: "Don't be in a hurry to be happy, I always feel a little unsteady in my heart, the Tea Industry Association and the Thirteen Lines have already made a move, but Yuan Qi has not moved yet, ......." ”

"Yuan Qi doesn't have tea on hand, how can he suppress the price of tea?" Wang Chao said: "Now we have more than 300,000 quintals of tea hoarded in hand, and there are 1.5 million taels of silver in hand, and there are many speculators and small and medium-sized tea merchants to support, it can be said that it is a hundred responses, Yuan Qi can no longer help us, this tea market is now our world, no one can hinder us from raising the price of tea!" ”

Before the words fell, Chen Jiawang, who had just left, went back and forth, and said with a panicked face: "The price of tea has risen to twenty-seven taels!" ”

"What?" Wang Chaoyi was taken aback, such a rapid increase in the price of tea at this juncture was a catastrophe for them, and he hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"I don't know." Chen Jiawang said: "I just heard that some people outside shouted that some businesses bought tea at a high price of 27 taels, and now there are few people left outside." ”

He Shutai's face turned unusually pale, and his body shook for a while before he could barely stabilize, seeing his appearance, Wang Chaoyi hurriedly helped him to the chair and sat down, and said with relief: "Brother Zi'an......." ”

"It's Yuan Qi......." He Shutai said weakly: "It was Yuan Qi who made a move, and sure enough, the sword went sideways, not suppressing the price of tea, but raising the price of tea, this ...... We're done ....... ....... ”

Wang Chao was stunned, he had always been wary of how Yuan Qi suppressed the price of tea, but he never expected that Yuan Qi would actually help them raise the price of tea! And it directly raised the price of tea to twenty-seven taels, this trick is too yin and too vicious!

Directly raise the price of tea to a high price of twenty-seven taels, and if it is to block the possibility of everyone speculating in the tea market, so rapidly raise the price of tea, and it is to raise it to such a high level, no one dares to enter the tea market again, on the contrary, many speculators and small and medium-sized tea merchants will rush to escape from the tea market, if they cut off the possibility of Shunde silk merchants getting out of the tea market!

Also, Yuan Qi is likely to sell the tea purchased at a high price to them, supporting them alive, their remaining funds now compared with the funds that Yuan Qi controls and can mobilize, there is a world of difference, there are still nearly 200,000 quintals of tea in the market, if Yuan Qi uses this method to support them, it can be said that it is easy.

Finished! It's really over! Although he was very unwilling, Wang Chaoyi knew very well in his heart that they had no room to turn the tables, even if he still had five million or even ten million in hand now, he couldn't fight Yuan Qi, because they didn't dare to compete with Yuan Qi to raise the price of tea, the higher the price of tea, the more tea they absorbed, the more miserable their death!

At this time, he came back to his senses, in fact, from the beginning of entering the tea market, they fell into Yuan Qi's calculations step by step, this is simply a gamble that cannot have the slightest chance of winning, but it is a pity that they couldn't see through it before, and they struggled desperately, and the more they struggled, the deeper they fell, and they didn't realize until they were dying, but it was already a catastrophe!

Coming back to his senses, He Shutai said in a deep voice: "Close the door! Let the tea number close! ”

The closure of Taihesheng Tea means that Shunde silk merchants completely admit defeat! It means that most of the Shunde silk merchants will go bankrupt! Chen Jiawang wondered if he had heard it wrong, and looked at him a little bewildered, in the face of such a huge sell-off by the Tea Industry Guild, they all survived, why did Yuan Qila raise the price of tea, but let He Shutai lose his temper so much, and directly admit defeat!

Wang Chaoyi understands that Taihesheng tea is closed, Shunde silk merchants admit defeat, there is no need for Yuanqi to buy tea at a high price, this is to show goodwill to Yuanqi, but also to leave a way for themselves to live, the more tea Yuanqi buys at a high price, the more they will squeeze them in the future!

Seeing Chen Jiawang standing stunned, he smiled bitterly and said, "What are you still doing in a daze?" If you don't want to lose all your money, let the business close quickly! ”

Listening to the tone of this, it seems that there is still room for redemption! Chen Jiawang had a glimmer of hope in his heart, and left the room with staggering steps, and was quiet for a long time before He Shutai spoke: "We should go and meet the shopkeeper of Yida." ”

"I should meet him, the sooner the better." Wang Chao nodded and said, at the moment, there is no other choice but to talk, and besides, he is indeed full of curiosity about the Yi Da shopkeeper who likes to take the sword sideways.

In the backyard of Hengchangli Firm, hearing that the Taihesheng Tea was closed, Huang Zichang smiled heartily: "Congratulations to the shopkeeper of Yida for surrendering without a fight!" ”

"A soldier who surrenders without a fight is not counted." Yi Zhizhi said with a smile: "Without the Tea Industry Association and the Thirteen Lines working together to sell 140,000 quintals of tea, I wouldn't dare to raise the price of tea like this, and quickly raising the price of tea is just the last straw that crushes the camel of the Shunde silk merchant." After a slight pause, he continued: "Since the Shunde silk merchants have admitted defeat, there is no need to continue to buy tea at a high price, so they will stop buying." ”

Huang Zichang said: "In this way, the price of tea will fall sharply again." ”

"There's no way to do that." Yi Zhizhi said: "I don't want the price of tea to plummet, but if the silk merchants in Shunde are not completely solved, the price of tea will not rise steadily." ”

After a slight sigh, Huang Zichang said: "It is estimated that the silk merchants in Shunde will come to the door soon, and they are still burdened with high interest, so they will not delay for a long time." ”

Yi Zhishu was unwilling to end this matter as soon as possible, and he also wanted to take this opportunity to integrate the money village in Shunde, when he got up and said: "They are in a hurry, we are not in a hurry, don't pay attention to them, hang them first, and kill their sharpness." ”
