"I won't buy it!"
Zong Xue didn't want to be wronged, so she asked the maid in the cafeteria for the spiritual stone she gave her.
The maid didn't say anything more and returned the 2,100 low-grade spiritual stones directly to Zong Xue.
"City Lord Cao Meng, you put the Sun Pearl for sale in the canteen, and your canteen maliciously increased the price. We have to tell City Lord Cao Meng!"
Originally, Zong Xue thought that the cafeteria had changed its mind under Cao Meng's guidance.
Ming thinks that the canteen is like a country that is easy to change and its nature is hard to change.
Later, I will go to Sixiang City to ask the Lord Cao Meng and let him make the decision for me.
"Junior sister, the price increase of Zhiyang Pearl is the order given by Lord Cao Meng!"
The maid explained helplessly. After all, would she, a little maid, dare to do such a thing as increasing the price of Zhiyang Pearl?
Not to mention her as a little maid, not even the deputy hall master Qin Su dared to raise the price privately.
There are only two people who dare to increase the price of Zhiyang Pearl. One is their hall leader Xia Yulan, and the other is their hall leader's Taoist companion - the city lord Cao Meng!
"How could it be the Lord of Cao Meng?"
When Zong Xue heard this, she was immediately shocked and couldn't believe the news.
Since Cao Meng became the lord of Sixiang City, he has made great reforms, increased the salaries of the disciples who defended the city, and implemented the system of five days off, two days off, and four hours a day.
He fought against the evil forces of the old sect and gained benefits for all the disciples who defended the sect's city.
In addition, Cao Meng is the number one genius of the Hehuan Sect, and he has won a lot of glory for the Hehuan Sect in the past.
The combination of all these factors has resulted in Cao Meng having an excellent reputation in the minds of many disciples of the Hehuan Sect. It can be said that he is a benchmark for the future!
Now this maid told Zong Xue that it was her idol who raised the price of Zhiyang Pearl and took advantage of them, which she couldn't accept!
"Here~"
When the maid saw that Zong Xue didn't believe it, she took out the Wenxianji and showed it to the group of workers in the cafeteria, Cao Meng's price increase announcement!
"This~"
Zong Xue looked at the other party and asked what the secret was. It was the price increase notice sent by Cao Meng. She really couldn't accept this result.
After she returned the Wenxianji to the maid, she left the cafeteria in a daze.
It’s so sad that her idol’s house collapsed too!
On this day, things like this continued to happen. The price of pearl milk tea in Xuewang Pavilion also increased, and the same was true for the Wenxianji sold by Wanbao Pavilion.
Xuantian Pavilion's spiritual wine comes to life in a dream, and the same is true!
In one day, the price of these things doubled. It is conceivable that since the price increase, it can be said that not a single spiritual stone has been sold.
On the contrary, the price increase of things like Zhiyang Pearl has caused a lot of discussion.
……
The prices of things like Zhi Yang Zhu increased, and several days passed in the blink of an eye.
The canteen, Snow King Pavilion, and Wanbao Building are experiencing bleak business these days. Even Cao Meng's takeout group business is miserable!
The people under Cao Meng and Xia Yulan also began to take vacations.
"Cao Meng, this situation is not good. Isn't it too risky?"
Xia Yulan received rewards from various ministries. Since the price increase, she has not earned a single spiritual stone, and there are still people protesting and boycotting.
This made her a little worried, fearing that Cao Meng would make a big fuss and lose control of the industry, and then he would really kill those industries.
You must know that those industries are full of spiritual stones!
Cao Meng was not too touched when he heard this, but he thought to himself:
"Although these people are not highly cultivated, they are an indispensable part of the sect."
The vast majority of people who buy Zhiyang Pearl are leeks that have not yet reached the stage of becoming gods, and hey, most of them are leeks that are under the Nascent Soul stage.
One leek is worthless, but several cartloads of leeks are different.
Although these people are all leeks, they still have considerable value to the Hehuan Sect.
Those trivial matters still need leeks to do, so we can't let the monks of the Transformation God overuse their talents!
Otherwise, I really think that the ancestors who founded the sect have nothing to eat and have nothing to do. Even if it is for inheritance, they can just accept a few disciples, so there is no need to establish a sect!
All the reasons are because leeks are of sufficient value!
"When things are fermented for a while, let the fire reach the warehouse and burn on the heads of Gongsun Meng and the others!"
The reason why Cao Meng allowed those people to make trouble was just to light up the fire.
Then he can blow the wind and blow the fire in the direction he needs!
"What if they don't give in in the warehouse?"
Xia Yulan is a little worried now. The head of the Sixth Hall of the Treasury is as stubborn as Cao Meng, and the two sides have always been stubborn.
If both parties continue to be tough, when will business like Zhiyangzhu be able to recover?
Xia Yulan thought it would be best to ask Nangong Yan and Xifeng, the ancestors of the Void Refining Stage, to directly put pressure on the warehouse.
At that time, the six hall masters of the warehouse will not only be obedient, but will not waste this time and delay themselves in earning spiritual stones.
"Aren't they the only ones who have these materials?"
Cao Meng's tone was frivolous, and he really didn't take this matter seriously.
Isn’t it just a material supplier?
Could it be that after leaving the Hehuan Sect's warehouse, I really couldn't find it?
If you want to find it, you can definitely find it. There is a supplier in Sixiang City.
It's just that the profiteer is too cunning, and Cao Meng doesn't want to cooperate with that old profiteer unless he has to.
"It may take some time for us to acquire those materials ourselves, and we may not be able to keep up with demand!"
Xia Yulan mistakenly thought that Cao Meng wanted to purchase materials from those small forces.
She thinks this is not a good idea, although those small forces also have materials.
But how can a small force compare with the Hehuan Sect? The Hehuan Sect has its own methods to keep costs down.
Those small forces are not strong enough to keep costs to a minimum!
"Forget it!"
Xia Yulan sighed and said angrily:
"I can only arrange for people to do it and find a way to get some materials!"
Just as Xia Yulan was about to leave, Cao Meng hugged her back and prepared to help her practice!
Titled Douluo, sealed with one hundred thousand words...
Hehuan Sect's warehouse...
The six hall masters of the warehouse gathered together again to hold a meeting.
"What on earth is Cao Meng doing? It's been several days, and apart from raising the price of Wenxian Ji, he has done nothing!"
Because of this incident, Le Yao did not practice much during this period and kept staring at this incident.
Gongsun Meng and the others had promised her and Zi Mo that they would make a fortune.
But now, not only are there no benefits, but the previous trade has stopped.
This made Le Yao somewhat unhappy, so she held Gongsun Meng and the others accountable.
"Uncle Leyao, I guess he wants to bore us, wants us to be anxious, and wants us to surrender to him!"
Faced with Le Yao's anger, Gongsun Meng could only bite the bullet and explain.
"This is impossible!"
Zi Mo solemnly stated that although she and Le Yao were just cultivators of spiritual transformation, according to their seniority, they were the uncles of Master Cao Meng. If the two of them, who are masters and uncles, submit to the younger generation, they may not be able to gain a foothold in the sect even if they are promoted to the Void Refining Stage in the future.
"Two uncles, Cao Meng should have some inventory in hand, but not much!"
"When we increased the price of materials, Cao Meng followed suit and increased the price of Zhiyang Pearl. It should be to test the acceptance ability of the sect members."
"It can be seen from this that Cao Meng has begun to have thoughts of surrender!"
Gongsun Meng analyzed everything in his mind.
"Sister Gongsun, what you say makes sense!"
Bailiqin and Helianqi nodded in praise of Gongsun Meng's analysis.
After all, if Cao Cao had never thought about surrendering, why would he increase the price of Zhiyang Pearl?
It's just that this thief is really vicious. He raises the price with his own group. If this thief raises the price, can't he make less money?
My group just wanted Cao Cao to earn 20% less profit, but Cao Cao wanted to earn twice as much. They were really greedy!
"I estimate that once the sect members can accept the increase in the price of Zhiyang Pearl, Cao Cao will no longer argue with us!"
Gongsun Meng felt that if Cao Meng's price increase was successful, he would make a lot of money!
At that time, the price increase in the warehouse will be a drop in the bucket for Cao Meng!
"The price increase of Zhiyang Pearl has caused a lot of protests among the disciples within the sect. I'm afraid the price cannot be increased!"
Mei Wen, who had been silent until now, expressed her speculation.
She has been paying attention to this matter these days. Based on her understanding of Cao Meng, Cao Meng is not a master who will give in.
"Junior sister Mei Wen, if Cao Meng gives Zhiyang Pearl a slightly higher price, the sect members will just grit their teeth and endure it!"
"But he was so greedy that he actually doubled the price. The disciples of the sect are not fools."
Gongsun Meng also felt that Cao Meng had no hope of raising the price this time, after all, the other party was too greedy.
Mei Wen gave Gongsun Meng a look. Cao Meng doubled the price of the Zhiyang Pearl, and he also doubled the price of the materials such as the Zhiyang Pearl.
These two guys are both evil-hearted people. Why did Gongsun Meng have the nerve to say that Cao Meng was greedy?
"Don't worry, everyone, I estimate that in ten days and a half at most, Cao Cao's side will not be able to hold on and will have to surrender to us!"
"After all, between making little money and making nothing, as long as you are not a fool, you know which one to choose!"
Gongsun Meng began to give reassurance to the other five people. After all, if someone could no longer support them, all their previous efforts would be in vain.
In fact, the other five hall masters all understand that between them and Cao Meng, whoever gives in first will lose the opportunity and be at a disadvantage.
Fantasy Peak...
Han Sijing and Song Yafei were drinking. Cao Meng and the warehouse had a big incident like this. How could Han Sijing and Song Yafei not celebrate?
"Cao Meng is having a quarrel with the warehouse. He hasn't made a lot of money from a single spirit stone during this period, and he's still paying back!"
Han Sijing knew everything about Cao Meng's business situation through her informants.
Nowadays, Cao Meng has not made much from a single spirit stone these days, and he still has to bear the cost of store employees and the operation of Four Symbols City.
She estimated that if this situation continued until the end of the month, at least Cao Meng would lose at least 250,000 mid-grade spiritual stones.
“Now I just don’t know who of them will give in first!”
Song Yafei didn't care how much Cao Meng would lose then. Now she was only worried about who would give in first, Cao Meng or the warehouse.
As the saying goes, when two tigers fight, one of them will be injured!
Song Yafei didn't want the warehouse to give in, because once the warehouse gave in, based on her understanding of Cao Meng, Cao Meng would definitely lower the price on the materials,
Not only can Thief Cao make back his losses these days, he will definitely take the opportunity to make a fortune.
What Song Yafei wanted was for Cao Meng to suffer a loss, not for the Cao thieves to gain.
"It doesn't matter, let them fight, the best thing is to make a big move!"
Han Sijing didn't care at all about the fight between Cao Meng and the warehouse, and who surrendered to whom.
What she wants is a fierce fight between the two.
If the fight between the two is not fierce enough and a ceasefire is necessary, I don't mind pouring a little oil on this fire!
……
As time passed, some days passed.
On Cao Meng's side and the warehouse's side, no one surrendered to anyone.
Cao Meng didn't care, he just thought he was taking a break for a while.
He has been practicing hard for three years, and it's his turn to enjoy it.
When Cao Meng was listening to music in Xuantian Pavilion, the space behind him suddenly distorted, and Nangong Yan came through the void.
"You bastard, you heard that you were bullied by the warehouse recently. If you ask Master, I can help with this matter!"
In fact, Nangong Yan had known about the situation on Cao Meng's side for a long time. During this time, she had been waiting for this bastard to come and beg her master.
She had been waiting for so long, but the other party made no move at all, which made her really unbearable.
"Master, old man, do you really think I can't handle it?"
Cao Meng asked Nangong Yan in return, he had plenty of means to clean up the warehouse, and considering the time, the fire was big enough, and he should arrange a east wind!
"You bastard, you are old, I am only over a thousand years old!"
The word 'old man' made Nangong Yan furious, and she slapped Cao Meng's head with fried chestnuts.
She, Nangong Yan, is only over a thousand years old. She is relatively young in the Void Refining Stage. In all, she is in the prime of life for a mortal woman.
I am so young, and this bastard actually calls me old. I really deserve a beating.
"You bastard, I don't care what you are doing, just hurry up and the sect will make big moves in a while, so you can get to work then!"
"If you can't handle the matter in front of you, please beg me, Master, and I will help you handle it then!"
Nangong Yan came to see Cao Meng this time, firstly to see what he was up to.
The second is to remind the other party that the Hehuan Sect is about to make a big move, so that they can prepare for war!
"Master, what's the big move?"
Cao Meng asked Nangong Yan in return. Although he had already guessed in his mind, he was not sure.
After all, the ancestors of the Hehuan Sect in the Void Refining Stage are all old monsters who have practiced for thousands of years and have unusual brain circuits.
Young people like him are not allowed to guess at will.
"You bastard, don't you know why you are making such a big move?"
When Nangong Yan saw Cao Meng pretending to be confused, she gave him a slap on the head with fried chestnuts.
Cao Meng rubbed his head. At this moment, he was sure that it was exactly what he had guessed.
The Hehuan Sect is going to kill someone, and it's not a small number!
It is very likely that this big move will lead to a war between the top sects!
If Cao Meng's guess is correct, if Hehuan Sect really starts a top-level sect war, the first choice target is Xuantian Sect!
Let’s not mention that Hehuan Sect and Xuantian Sect have long-standing grievances. Let’s just say that Xuantian Sect is in a very bad situation right now. The top leaders of the sect’s transformation stage are competing for the position of the sect leader. This is the best goal!
"You bastard, you didn't have any good intentions when you gave me those secret sword-raising skills!"
Nangong Yan said angrily. In the past few days, Nangong Yan had already figured out some things.
This bastard is plotting against himself, the master, and the sect's ancestor in the Void Refining Stage.
This bastard gave him several sword-raising skills just to make the ancestors of the Hehuan Sect in the Void Refining Stage have the idea of refining creatures with blood to raise swords.
It can be said that the big move prepared by the Hehuan Sect this time was driven by this bastard! (End of chapter)
