The first thousand eight hundred and ninety chapters
Yao Bailing glanced at him lightly and said calmly: "What do you think?"
The disciple who reported the report was neither humble nor arrogant: "I am a gentle person and dare not speak nonsense. I can only convey the words of the sect master. The sect master said, you have two choices. First, immediately restore the elixir to its original price and forget about the past. Second, if you don't want to, immediately
Get back."
"Presumptuous!" Yao Bailing showed his dignity without anger.
The disciple's expression was indifferent: "What is the use of the medicine shopkeeper and me, a disciple, to set the qi? I am just repeating the words of the sect master. I also ask the medicine shopkeeper to make his own choice."
Yao Bailing was shocked and angry, and said: "Does your sect leader have no foresight? I'm here to help you deal with the demons."
The disciple said nothing, quietly waiting for Yao Bailing to answer.
The frustrated Yin-Yang elder was secretly gloating that the sect master was the most powerful after all. He was so arrogant and respected his status that he was not even qualified to see the sect master's face.
What a great irony.
Understanding the sect leader's attitude towards him, Elder Yin Yang became more confident and smiled softly: "Mother of Medicine, our Tai Chi Sect's waiting room has no shortage of tea. Please think about it slowly and make sure you drink enough tea."
Hearing Zhenzhen's sarcasm, Yao Bailing felt even more angry.
The plan was almost certain, but he was ordered to get out of the way without even saying a word.
Fortunately, he still pretended to be mysterious in front of several colleagues and looked confident.
Now when I go back, I don’t know how to explain it.
"Hmph! Don't be so proud. It's just the beginning. I don't believe that your Taiji Sect can last until the end!" Yao Bailing was stunned, threw up his sleeves and left.
Elder Yin and Yang said with a strange tone: "Medicine shopkeeper, I'm going to go away and don't send you away... Oh, I'm going to go away and don't send you away!"
Seeing Yao Bailing go away, Elder Yin Yang wiped away the smile on his face, revealing hatred and contempt: "Bah, what the hell!"
Under the propaganda of Taiji Sect, everyone from disciples to elders had an essential understanding of the Star Alliance Chamber of Commerce.
I don't hate them at all.
However, as Yao Bailing said, it is completely unknown whether Taiji Sect can survive to the end.
Another five days passed.
The atmosphere at the meeting between the senior leaders of Taiji Sect was much more pessimistic than the optimistic one five days ago.
"Less than half of the inventory remains, less than 20% of prices in the market have returned to normal levels, and 80% of prices remain at high levels. Many shops would rather close temporarily than lower prices."
After hearing the summary, all the elders were very worried.
The invisible confrontation has lasted for ten days, but prices on the market have shown no sign of falling.
It will take at least twenty days for a new batch of daily necessities to flow into the market, impacting today's market prices.
Now the crisis has emerged.
"What's the reward for those who are sent out?" Su Yu asked calmly.
In addition to the group of people Su Yu secretly contacted, he also sent a large number of Yin Yang elders and tens of thousands of disciples to nearby civilizations to purchase daily necessities.
Due to time constraints, they were destined not to go to civilizations that were too far away and could only look for them nearby.
"Reporting to the sect master, according to the news sent back, less than 10% of the troops have gained anything, and they were all found in wild areas that have not yet reached star-level civilization. The total added up is less than the consumption of Tai Chi civilization in one day."
A day's consumption is a drop in the bucket.
"The other people, the civilization they are going to, and the daily necessary resources have been secretly acquired by people from the Star Alliance Chamber of Commerce as early as a year ago, and they are still acquiring them at high prices. Basically, all the new resources flowing into the market, they all
Grab them all.”
The implication is that most of the troops gained nothing.
Everyone's hearts slowly sank.
"We can only last for ten more days at most. After ten days, the entire Taiji Sect's treasure house will be exhausted. At that time, if the price in the market cannot be suppressed, I am afraid that our Taiji Sect's own daily resource consumption will be exhausted.
It's not enough." The old woman said calmly.
Now they have reached a critical moment.
If no action is taken, Tai Chi Sect will be in a dilemma.
At that time, there were a lot of complaints within the sect, and there were even more doubts about Su Yu's ability as the new sect leader.
Before the Tai Chi civilization falls into chaos and decline, the Tai Chi Sect will fall apart first.
After pondering for a moment, the old woman said: "How about we use our strength to forcibly seize the resources of the giants of the Star Alliance Chamber of Commerce?"
Su Yu didn't say anything. Tai Chi civilization was so peaceful that Elder Tian could take it for granted.
He asked rhetorically: "If we use force, wouldn't the Star Alliance Chamber of Commerce not do the same? Based on my understanding of the Star Alliance Chamber of Commerce, there will be a strong person sitting in the Star Alliance Chamber of Commerce in every region. If he takes action, who will deal with it?"
"
"This..." The old woman fell into thinking again.
Mo Xiaochai also gradually lost her patience due to anxiety, and said: "What should we do? Are we just watching the situation become more and more dangerous?"
Some elders also began to doubt Su Yu's initial decision. Although it would gradually decline if he ignored it, it was better than causing internal chaos at the moment.
The most important thing is that the foreign aid mentioned by the sect leader has not been found yet!
Su Yu said calmly: "Let the troops sent out continue to search for resources farther away. On the other hand, contact the businessmen you are familiar with as much as possible and ask for their personal help. If the matter is settled, double the amount will be returned."
The former has no hope, but the latter still has the possibility of trying.
They are all high-ranking officials of the Taiji Sect, and there are many businessmen, big and small, who usually fawn over them.
The Taiji Sect is in need at this moment. If they are asked to take out their private treasures to alleviate the current crisis, they may agree.
After all, the sect leader personally promised that he could pay back double the amount afterwards.
I believe that smart businessmen will choose to take a gamble on a business that can double their profits in a short period of time.
"Act now, I will also contact the businessmen I am familiar with." Su Yu thought for a while, secretly left Tai Chi Sect and came to Zhen Cui Pavilion.
Boss Peng of Zhencui Hall is one of the few big bosses in Tai Chi Sect. He has been in business for many years and is worth a lot of money.
The resources he controls are astronomical.
If he is willing to donate generously, I believe it can alleviate the resource shortage.
"Who are you looking for?" Today's Zhencui Pavilion is also overcrowded. As one of the few shops that obeyed the Tai Chi Sect's edict and took the initiative to restore normal prices, the maids who received it were a little overwhelmed.
Su Yu pulled on his bamboo hat and said, "Is Boss Peng here?"
The maid looked at Su Yu suspiciously and said, "Who is your Excellency?"
Su Yu said calmly: "Boss Peng's friend."
After pondering for a moment, the maid said: "Then just wait a moment. Boss Peng has been very busy recently. Many bosses have come to see him."
Nowadays, prices in Tai Chi Civilization are abnormal and people are panicked. It is normal for bosses to move around among themselves.
Suddenly, Boss Peng sent a group of people out of the living room in the inner courtyard.
Su Yu glanced casually, and his eyebrows sank slightly.
Those people were all famous businessmen from the Tai Chi civilization, and Su Yu even knew one of them.
It's Yao Bailing's capable shopkeeper, Li Weitong.
Li Weitong had a haughty look on his face and was sent away amidst Boss Peng's politeness.
Watching them go away, Boss Peng let out a long sigh.
Just as he was about to go back, the maid said respectfully: "Boss Peng, this person says he is your friend and wants to see you."
Boss Peng turned to look at Su Yu, whose face was covered by a bamboo hat, with puzzled eyes: "Who is your Excellency?"
Su Yu said nothing as the sect leader's token flashed across his palm.
Boss Peng's pupils shrank and he said: "Zong..."
"Boss Peng, a noble man, forgets things a lot, even me." Su Yu interrupted him in time.
Boss Peng understood and patted his head: "Oh, it turns out to be Boss Zong. Look at my memory. Please come in."
The two of them entered the backyard. The maid at the front desk stared at the two of them deeply and quietly crushed a jade pendant for communication.
In the secret room, Boss Peng turned around, immediately knelt down on one knee and said, "See the sect leader!"
Su Yu waved his hand, sat down casually, and said, "There is no need to be polite in our relationship."
Boss Peng stood up just now, but did not dare to sit down.
Staring at Su Yu who had taken off his bamboo hat, he felt that everything was unreal.
The former owner of Wenjiu has now become the head of the Tai Chi Sect. It is really unpredictable.
"The sect master is here. May I ask for any advice?"
Su Yu shook his head and said: "Guidance is out of the question. You must have made some guesses about my purpose of coming."
Boss Peng looked embarrassed, sighed and said nothing.
"Boss Peng has something to hide, but it doesn't matter. Su is by no means an unreasonable person."
Boss Peng said: "Who is the person who left just now? Does the sect master know him?"
"I know, it's Yao Bailing's people." Su Yu said: "Then, are they the ones behind your unspeakable secret?"
Boss Peng said helplessly: "Exactly! Li Weitong was ordered by Yao Bailing to ask me to do two things. First, raise the price to a high level immediately. Second, not secretly provide daily necessities resources to Taiji Sect."
"So? You agreed?" Su Yu stared at him indifferently.
Boss Peng smiled bitterly and said: "The sect leader should know the identity of Yao Bailing now, right? The Star Alliance Chamber of Commerce! I am a small businessman, and many purchase channels cannot bypass the Star Alliance Chamber of Commerce. If I don't agree, my career as a businessman will be completely over.
"
Hearing this, Su Yu felt calm, without even the slightest hint of anger.
Businessmen value profits over righteousness. No matter how good the relationship is on a daily basis, at a critical moment, they will still choose interests first.
What's more, he only has a relationship with Boss Peng, so why force him to do something difficult?
"It's Su who's being abrupt, please say goodbye." Su Yu didn't delay, put on his bamboo hat, and walked away.
Boss Peng caught up and said: "Sect Master, please understand my difficulty. If possible, I will never agree?"
"I understand." Su Yu said calmly.
He can sympathize with Boss Peng's difficulties...but if he takes a breather, please ask Boss Peng to be considerate of his subsequent actions.
He won't hate Boss Peng deliberately, but he won't forgive either.
Finding nothing, he returned to Taiji Sect, and the elders who asked for help from the familiar bosses also came back one after another.
Looking at their faces, Su Yu already had the answer in his mind without asking.
The Star Alliance Chamber of Commerce is not only looking for Zhencui Pavilion, but also many shops.
