Chapter 390 Maintaining the Status Quo
"And, to be honest... we also have a use for these raw materials... starting today, we will start to build a workshop and recruit workers... we have the same benefits you have... and the salary is twice as high as yours... let's see how long your people can stay..."
Cai Shoucai said to Fu Qian, "Okay... Today we sold 100,000 stones of raw materials, just to test the waters... Starting tomorrow, there will be a large amount of raw materials for sale... I hope you can handle it..."
After hearing what Cai Shoucai said, Fu Qian smiled coldly.
Then he said, "Humph... It's really a joke... Fine , you asked for death... We will give you a ride..."
After listening to this, Cai Shoucai smiled and nodded, then left without saying a word.
After leaving Qihang, Cai Shoucai went directly to Xie Xunfeng’s hostage residence.
…
Watch Cai Shoucai leave.
Uncle Qian, who was standing by, said to Fu Qian, "Mr. Fu, could this be a trap set by them? Why don't we just take it?"
After Fu Qian heard Uncle Qian's words, he said in disbelief, "No longer accepting? Are you kidding me... If we no longer accept... do you know how much money we will lose?"
"But this is not normal... Their offer is only half of what it is now ... If they breach the contract... The compensation they will face will be a huge amount... They won't be so stupid as to seek death..."
After hearing Uncle Qian's words, Fu Qian said to Uncle Qian, "Look... this is what they think..."
Uncle Qian looked at Fu Qian with a hint of doubt, and then asked, "What do you mean?"
Fu Qian said to Uncle Qian, " Their purpose is to scare us... As long as we don't take over, the price of the raw materials will definitely not be stable... Once the price collapses, then we will really lose money... Don't they just want to gamble with us? Humph... Unless they can conjure so many raw materials out of thin air..."
"In just half a month, we already have hundreds of thousands of stones of raw materials... How are they going to get them? Are they going to rob? I don't think they can even rob... Uncle Qian... Don't worry. They just like to play tricks... I thought it would take some effort to deal with them, but they came to my door directly... Isn't this a good thing?"
After hearing what Fu Qian said, Uncle Qian smiled faintly and said, "Mr. Fu, what you said makes sense... But I always feel that the risk is too great..."
Fu Qian said to Uncle Qian, "Uncle Qian, just be at peace... This kind of thing will only make the brave die of excess and the timid die of fear... They are just playing tricks..."
Uncle Qian said to Fu Qian, "Mr. Fu, I'd better send someone to inquire..."
Fu Qian said to Uncle Qian, "Uncle Qian, no need to ask. He sold it to me at half the current price. Even if we do business on our own, we will make a profit... If you are really too idle now, you can just keep an eye on us and them to grab the market..."
Uncle Qian looked at Fu Qian's expression. He knew that the same principle existed.
But, I always feel like something is wrong...
Uncle Qian couldn’t tell…
Cai Shoucai, who was standing by, went to the hostage house, but was also turned away...
I had no choice but to go back.
He actually had no idea.
Although they have goods, there are too many uncertainties in the time of goods shipped at sea.
If there is a problem, it will be a huge blow to them.
However, he now had no choice but to trust Xie Xunfeng.
…
At this time, in the imperial palace of Daxia.
Yan Song was also reporting to Xiao Shentian.
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother met with the leaders of the three clans again today... However, there is no definite movement from them at the moment. They should be building relationships... Based on my observations over the past few days, the Queen Mother is just trying to win over their relationship..."
"However, I have also talked to some of the clan leaders... Their ideas are very simple, that is, as long as Your Majesty remains the same as now, they will not interfere in government affairs..."
"But if Your Majesty makes any move, they will join the Queen Mother in the same battle line..."
After listening to Yan Song's words, Xiao Shentian frowned slightly, and then said, "My mother... She is already old... What on earth does she want to do?"
Yan Song said to Xiao Shentian, "Your Majesty, after you came back, you have been cleaning up the Queen Mother's followers in the court without anyone noticing. Although you did it without making a sound at the beginning...but, what kind of person is our Queen Mother...Now she has obviously come to her senses...So, she may be thinking about preserving her own power..."
Xiao Shentian smiled bitterly and said, "Tell me, what is the purpose of our Queen Mother? She could have stopped supporting me and become an empress. If she had become an emperor, would it have been so troublesome..."
Yan Song said to Xiao Shentian, "Our Queen Mother values reputation... and also wants power... It's not easy to have both..."
Xiao Shentian smiled helplessly, then said to Yan Song, "Then tell me... can I use my series of policies for the clan?"
Yan Song said to Xiao Shentian, "At least for now, I don't recommend it..."
Xiao Shentian said to Yan Song, "What? You don't think it's a good idea either?"
Yan Song nodded slightly to Xiao Shentian and said, "That's right... at least the time is not right now..."
After hearing this, Xiao Shentian was silent for a moment, then said, "Where is Xie Xunfeng? Why hasn't he made any movement recently..."
Yan Song said to Xiao Shentian, "It seems that he is in seclusion in the hostage house... Even the old minister's son has not seen him..."
Xiao Shentian said to Yan Song in a somewhat strange tone, "Retreat? What kind of retreat is he in? I guess he is planning something bad..."
Yan Song bowed to Xiao Shentian and said, "I think you are refining the elixir?"
After listening to this, Xiao Shentian couldn't help but laugh and said, "Alchemy? He also likes alchemy?"
Yan Song shook his head and said, "I don't know...but Xie Xunfeng is a strange man..."
Xiao Shentian said to Yan Song, "Did he tell me how to deal with the clan issue..."
Yan Song said to Xiao Shentian, "He did say that... but he didn't say exactly... what to do... He said at first that the status quo should be maintained..."
