"Young Master, that's true." The housekeeper who came to report the news was also confused. "The people from the Royal Ming Dynasty Trading Company were like fools. They would sell them as long as we gave them money, as if they didn't know that we were just going to specialize in shopping."

"Hahaha... aren't they just a group of fools?" Hong Anque laughed to the sky, "I have seen the things sold by the Royal Ming Dynasty. They are indeed good things, and they are so cheap. Even if we sell them, we can make a lot of money. How can we not do such good things? Tell the people below immediately and buy them for me as long as they sell them."

"clear!"

The housekeeper agreed and just as he was about to go down, a manager in charge of buying things hurried over. As soon as he arrived in front of Hong Anque, he said anxiously: "Young master...Young master, the people from the Royal Trading Company of the Ming Dynasty have raised the price."

Hong Anque, whose laughter had not yet fallen, was slightly stunned and asked quickly: "How much does it increase the price?"

"No...No..." The manager quickly waved his hands: "Young Master, they specifically raised prices for us, but they still sold them to those untouchables at the same price."

"Oh... how many did you mention?" As soon as he heard this, Hong Anque's face immediately sank.

The manager said with a bitter face: "I mentioned it... I doubled it. The Royal Trading Company of the Ming Dynasty has introduced new rules, saying that it is to allow ordinary people to buy goods, so any goods that buy goods in small quantities will still be at the original price, but if purchased in bulk, the price will be doubled."

“Double the price?

Several shopkeepers in the private room looked at each other, and shopkeeper Qiu sneered: "It seems that the Royal Trading Company of the Ming Dynasty is not all fools, they actually know how to raise the price."

Someone else said: "The things they sold before are indeed too cheap. The purchase price of a good piece of cloth is five cents. They only cost two cents. Even if they have a mountain of gold and silver, they can't help but struggle like this."

"It seems that the people from the Royal Trading Company of the Ming Dynasty have noticed it, so they want to use this method to force us to stop." Another shopkeeper hesitated and said, "Since they have noticed it, why don't we stop?"

"Stop?" Hong Anque sneered: "Why should we stop? Didn't you just say that even if the price is doubled, we still have to make a profit. Since there are some profits, let's continue to buy. Tell the people below not to stop and continue to buy!"

"This..." The manager hesitated for a moment and asked carefully: "Young master, this will cost twice as much money. Otherwise, let the people below pretend to be ordinary people and let them buy less every time, which will save a lot of money."

"Idiot!" Hong Anque was annoyed when he heard this, and stood up and kicked the manager: "Why did our Hong family have such a fool? Do you ask the people below to dress up as those untouchables to buy a few feet of cloth and kilograms of old wine every time? When will you buy it?"

As soon as the manager said that he had said a stupid way. When he saw Hong Anque kicking his feet, he didn't dare to avoid them, and stood there motionlessly.

When the shopkeepers and housekeepers around him saw Hong Anque kicking someone out, no one dared to come and persuade him. Anyone who is familiar with Hong Anque knows that this guy looks elegant and has the reputation of a scholar, but in fact, once he turns against him, he has an extremely irritable temper, and it is common for him to kick and beat his servants.

After kicking the manager a few times, Hong Anque's anger disappeared a little. Seeing that the manager was still standing still, he immediately glared: "Why are you still standing here? Why don't you hurry up and do things?"

"yes!"

Hearing Hong Anque's scolding, the manager breathed a sigh of relief and quickly ran out of the door.

After the manager left, Hong Anque turned his head and said to the shopkeepers: "You must remember that you must keep a close eye on their every move these days. We will buy as much as they throw out those things. I guess at no more than four to five days at most. Their goods should be exhausted. Then we will be when we get rich."

"Hahaha……"

All the shopkeepers laughed. They were all old-fashioned people who had been in business for most of their lives. Of course, they knew what Hong Anque meant to make money.

The goods sold by the Royal Merchant Company of the Ming Dynasty are of good quality and cheap price. After they swept away all the goods from the Royal Merchant Company of the Ming Dynasty, the plan to strike can continue. As long as the government meets their needs, after they reopen the market, the goods they bought at such a cheap price can make a lot of money after a change of handover. Such a business is very cost-effective no matter how you look at it.

As time passed day by day, six maritime merchants, including the Hong family, were eager to buy goods on the market. The people of the Ming Dynasty Royal Trading Company seemed to have not seen it. When the goods at the counter were sold out, they would immediately put the goods on the shelves, and they bought and sold them one by one. The two sides fought back and forth.

The Hong family's actions naturally could not be hidden from the people around them. In the eyes of the people, this was purely a battle between the people of the Royal Ming Dynasty and the six maritime merchants. But in the end, no one could say which one would win or lose. In this case, the people's sense of crisis deepened, and a wave of buying began to be born. A large number of people began to flock to various counters and began to purchase various items. This situation lasted only three days. Yang Feng began to win from various materials brought by modern society. The shopkeeper Qiu Da quickly found Yang Feng when he saw this.

"Our company, our stuff is almost sold out."

"Shopkeeper Qiu Da, how long can our goods last?"

"It can only last for two more days at most. If the other party increases the cleaning efforts, it is possible for one day."

"Um……"

Yang Feng pondered for a while and suddenly Zhan Yan smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Qiu, you will post an announcement tomorrow. Any bulk purchase of our goods will double the price again."

"Ah..." Manager Qiu Da was startled, "Owner, that's three times the price."

"Yes!" Yang Feng nodded: "Don't they want to buy goods? We don't stop them. As long as we have money, we will sell them, and we will not negotiate if there is no money."

"But what about those people?" Manager Qiu Da hesitated and said, "After passing the Hong family, Bai family and other several other houses on the sea, the people in the city were panicked. Now they are hoarding goods, such as soy sauce, salt, cloth, and even straw paper, which will accelerate the consumption of supplies. So the villain guesses that the remaining supplies we have now may only be enough to consume tomorrow."

Yang Feng's face did not look at all worried: "By the way, how much money have we sold these days."

Speaking of silver, the shopkeeper Qiu Da smiled on his face, who was originally a little worried, "It's so good for the boss to find out that our Xiamen alone sold more than 256,000 taels of silver in the past three days."

"Well... I'm afraid most of the here are given to us by those maritime merchants, right?"

"More than half," said the shopkeeper Qiu Da: "At least 700% of our goods were bought by those maritime merchants, otherwise it would not cause panic among the people in the city."

"Tsk tsk, those maritime merchants are really rich." Yang Feng smashed his mouth and shook his head, "If Fuzhou, Quanzhou and other places were added, the money those people had spent these days would probably be less than million taels of silver."

Manager Qiu Da smiled bitterly and said, "This is also the terrifying thing about those century-old families, because no one knows how much money these people have in their hands after hundreds of years of operation, which is the most terrifying thing."

Yang Feng smiled, "So what? Can they still have money than the eight major salt merchants in Yangzhou have money?"

Hearing this, the shopkeeper Qiu couldn't help but smile bitterly. When Yang Feng was about to sell salt in the Jiangnan area, he was collectively boycotted and opposed by the eight major salt merchants in Yangzhou, which annoyed Yang Feng. Yang Feng was furious and led his troops into Yangzhou to take over the eight major salt merchants in one fell swoop, and finally copied more than 20 million taels of silver, which caused a sensation in the entire Ming Dynasty.
