The third day was an exceptionally sunny day, and the light of the sky generously sprinkled down from the blue sky dome and fell on Lin Sanjiu's shoulders. Pushing the door out of the big cat hotel, the owner of a pancake shop next door immediately poked his head out enthusiastically and greeted her: "...... Going out? ”

"Yes," she smiled and nodded, looking very amiable in the mimicry of Mack's duck, "How's business going today?" ”

"That's good! The pancake shops on the other roads are not good, and they can't sell eggs without them. The owner of the pancake shop happily knocked on the shovel in his hand, "I heard that the eggs in the market have been out of stock recently, and the price has risen unbelievably, I was still a little worried, but I didn't expect you to be so powerful that you could transfer a batch of eggs for me in advance so quickly...... This time is a blessing for you. ”

Lin Sanjiu smiled, put his hand in the pocket of his bathrobe, and walked towards the Yunlai Exchange.

The owner of the pancake shop just now found her yesterday and said that there were no eggs in her shop, and business was not doing well - although he was beating around the bush, the meaning was quite clear: it seemed that he was afraid that Lin Sanjiu would not be able to deliver the eggs. As soon as he heard this, Lin Sanjiu didn't say a word, and immediately gave him all the 50 catties of goods he had originally ordered, and also instructed, "This is the goods specially adjusted for you in advance", which made the owner of the pancake shop grateful.

Giving eggs in advance, certainly not because she wanted to help.

The purpose of hoarding all the eggs on the market is not to let everyone have no eggs to eat, but to let a few people have eggs to eat, artificially turning it into a scarce resource - only in this way can the price go up; If there were no eggs at all. Then there will definitely be a substitute for eggs. So like the 50 catties of eggs sold yesterday, these 50 catties are also to be able to better stimulate the market.

If this is a real market, I am afraid that McDuck's method will not be effective at all; But the market simulated by the Star Park is a relatively closed environment, which greatly simplifies the level of complexity and has a very high level of realism, which is simply tailor-made for this purpose.

When Lin Sanjiu walked to the Yunlai Exchange, the door had been opened early by Xiao Er; After two days in a row, he was almost knocked down by her rush into the store, apparently he also learned his lesson and opened the door five minutes early: "Yo, the guest officer is still so punctual!" Tell you good news. Egg prices are rising again! I've bought all the pastries you ordered me to collect yesterday. It's just time for you to trade your stamina. ”

The price of eggs has risen again, of course, Lin Sanjiu has long expected it-smiled, her eyes swept over the notice board, and saw that the current average market price of eggs has indeed climbed to 2.8 stamina per catty.

…… The market has just opened. She had one more day. Pull the price of eggs to the price she agreed with three producers.

Turn your head. She asked Xiao Er, "What was the price of that batch of pastries yesterday?" ”

"There are 120 pieces in total, and the average is 20 points per piece," Xiao Er smiled enthusiastically: "Counting the handling fee." A total of 2472 HP. ”

"And what about eggs?"

"Ah, you asked. I don't know why, as soon as the market opened today, the eggs released by the three manufacturers suddenly increased several times compared to yesterday - there were 1,150 catties! When you buy it, the price is still 2.6, so your eggs have a total of 3080 stamina. ”

Even though he spent so much at once, when Lin Sanjiu sat in his old position, his fingers lightly tapped on the armrest of the chair, and a smile slowly appeared on his face.

…… Just as she agreed with the three egg producers yesterday, they managed to break their contracts with all four major restaurants; Of the 1,150 catties of eggs today, it is obvious that 800 catties of them should have been supplied to those restaurants.

The step of terminating the contract was thought of when Lin Sanjiu in the state of "Mike Duck" had an idea after inquiring about a few important news from the manufacturer.

In such a relatively closed market environment, as she analyzed, the competition between the three egg producers is really fierce - the market is only so big, and there are only a few target customers, but there are many producers; In addition, small businesses basically can't digest their production surplus, and it has always been a buyer's market - that is to say, the original average price of 0.6 eggs is the floor price that the three producers have coincidentally touched after fierce price wars.

It is said that before Lin Sanjiu intervened in such a hand, these three manufacturers had been struggling with reducing inventory and raising prices, so when she sent a message, she quickly got the answer she wanted.

The contract between the producer and the restaurant is a "sole supply contract", which is supposed to mean that the restaurant cannot buy the eggs outside the supplier - in order to achieve this exclusive supply condition, the producer even has to reduce the price of the eggs below the market price. It's just that in a buyer's market, such a contract is not very binding; Even if the restaurant found someone else to buy the goods, no manufacturer was willing to really terminate the contract.

…… Unless the manufacturers join forces under the impetus of external forces.

And that's exactly what Lin Sanjiu did.

Kurosawa's offer at this time was a bait to lure them into eating in order to get the restaurants to buy the eggs from him and break the contract in the first place—but if that was the case, it was not very certain: it was quite possible that a smart person would not eat the eggs in mind of the situation in the market.

In order to ensure that none of these restaurants were caught, Lin Sanjiu came up with a second method.

Under her instructions, the three producers came to an "exchange" - each producer sent a message to the restaurant that was not its customer, saying that the price of eggs has risen sharply, and even if there is a contract, there is no guarantee that their original egg supplier will not increase the price; However, I am different, and I am still willing to continue to provide products that are lower than the market price, hoping to win the other party as a customer.

With a second supplier as the way back, these large stores really relaxed their vigilance and ate the bait thrown by Kurosawa Ji one after another. I made a batch of pastries with almost no raw materials. When Kurosawa Ji said that he couldn't buy so much, it was getting late at this time, and it was about to close, so in order to be able to sell this batch of pastries as soon as possible, the prices of these restaurants were correspondingly lowered by a few points compared to before.

As soon as Lin Sanjiu's eyes fell on this batch of pastries, she gave an order to the shopkeeper to "buy before the market closes".

There are a total of four restaurants, and the reason why she only sold them two hundred catties through Kurosawa is because the small number is not easy to arouse alarm; The second is also because her physical strength is running out, and she must control the scale of their production - sure enough, each family only got a few dozen catties of eggs. Only 120 pieces of pastries were made. She can just afford it.

Now, Lin Sanjiu has a total of 2,977 physical strength points, 3,300 pounds of eggs, and 600 pastries.

"What's next?" Teacher Yi couldn't help but ask.

"There's no rush. The market has just opened. Lin Sanjiu narrowed his eyes. With a smile on her face like a fox - if it weren't for the ability of [Consciousness Mimic] , I'm afraid she would never have been able to make such an expression in her life: "...... Give those restaurants a little time. It will take them a while to realize that there is no supply today. ”

Things went even more smoothly than Lin Sanjiu expected. Twenty minutes later, the first egg request from one of the four major restaurants appeared on the bulletin board.

This piece of information immediately blew up the entire market.

The average price of eggs in the market is constantly flickering, and after each flicker, the number will increase a little more, and finally reach an astonishing 5; However, no matter how firmly prices rise, the market inventory always shows a "very low".

In order to add another spoonful of oil to the fire, Lin Sanjiu immediately released the news of "6 physical strength to buy eggs" - immediately after, her private mailbox was suddenly exploded by a series of snowflake-like messages - the shopkeeper was busy sweating, and before a message could be called out, three or four more had already come in; There were those who expressed their amazement at No. 57, those who condemned it, and there were many more who planned to buy some eggs from her.

Lin Sanjiu didn't even reply, but just said, "Except for the news of the four major restaurants, don't show me the rest", and then began to wait patiently.

Finally, half an hour later, the other three restaurants gave in.

The first person to message her was "Lips", who had dealt with her several times.

"I know you don't plan to stay here for long, so I'll let you get away with it this time," the message said in a very tough tone, "...... Don't you just want to make a fortune and leave? Make a price for the eggs you have in your hands! ”

Lin Sanjiu smiled and didn't reply.

The news of the other two dessert shops is much more polite.

"I don't know what to call you, but let me open the door. We produce a lot of products every day, and the main ingredient is eggs, so I hope you will consider talking about this business at a price that we can all accept. ”

Lips uses the least number of eggs, and it's no wonder they're the toughest - Lin Sanjiu thought about it, picked one of the dessert shops called "Mint Leaves", and responded with a question: "What do you think of strawberry red lip cake?" ”

The other party was obviously a little confused, but still replied quickly: "...... This is Lips' signature dessert, and it can be said that others can't make it even if they get the recipe, so it can be said that it is famous. ”

That's good.

Lin Sanjiu, who was in the mode of Mike Duck, already had another idea in his mind.

"As you can see, there is not a single store on the market that has eggs...... Not only you, but no one can make something that contains eggs. ”

"Yes, you mean ......"

"I can offer you 20 strawberry red lip cakes, and 200 other dishes. 30 stamina for each red lip cake and 28 stamina for other desserts; As a sign of my sincerity, I promise you that I will not sell eggs for the next four hours. When I sell eggs, I guarantee that the market price reaches 8 stamina per catty, how about it? ”

Selling at a time when all competitors are out of stock is already a great advantage - not to mention, even if competitors buy eggs, the price is far from being comparable to their own due to the cost of their desserts; Almost in ten minutes, Lin Sanjiu sold 220 desserts to "Mint Leaves", and the other party paid the handling fee, returning 6200 physical strength, and a total of 9177 physical strength points in his hands.

Based on the simulated daily sales of the Star Amusement Park, this is only half of the dessert market's requirements - but after Lin Sanjiu teamed up with three egg producers to release a piece of news, the impact was shocking.

"Player 57 is currently discussing the possibility of cooperation with egg producers, and intends to acquire three producers in the market and merge them into one, which is currently progressing smoothly, and it is said that the contract has been signed."

This news seemed to be a spark that fell on gasoline, and with all the inducements she had laid before, it finally detonated the madness of the market - everyone was speculating about what price No. 57 would set after the monopoly; And because of her aggressive style in the past few days, the market is generally bullish on the future egg price, so the current eggs have soared all the way to 7.5, and they have never been fried so high.

And the little eggs that were deliberately put in supermarkets and pancake shops before couldn't help but be tempted to flow into the market, and they went back and continued to blow this bubble even bigger.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Lin Sanjiu waved his hand lightly: "It's fat enough, it's time to slaughter." ”

…… This time, even Lips has finally put down the shelf.

Due to a little change in the middle, Lin Sanjiu had too much inventory in her hands at this time, so she set a minimum purchase amount; The minimum purchase price quoted to several large restaurants such as Lips is 400 catties, and 8 stamina per catty - except for the mint leaves, the three large restaurants have no choice but to place orders even if they are reluctant. Perhaps worried that the price of eggs would rise even more outrageously in the future, so the three restaurants asked for a total of 1,600 catties, and this time Lin Sanjiu quickly returned 12,800 points of physical strength, and finally earned the payment back.

"I'll have to speed up," Lin Sanjiu muttered to himself, "Once those egg producers find out that I've set a minimum purchase, they'll know I'm cheating on them...... We have to sell the rest of the eggs quickly. ”

For small merchants, she can neither sell too much nor sell too expensive; At the price of 6 physical strength worth a catty, she finally sold another 700 catties of eggs - it turned out that everyone thought that eggs would rise in the future, so they bought more than usual.

At present, Lin Sanjiu's physical strength has reached 26,177 points - the physical strength of customs clearance has been earned, and she still has 380 dessert dishes left, as well as a thousand catties of eggs.

Almost after the front foot was traded, the price of eggs on the back foot suddenly plummeted from 7.5 to 4 - such a fluctuation shows that the three egg producers finally realized that something was wrong: No. 57 sold eggs at a high price beyond the market's digestion capacity, and then when this batch of eggs was digested, their own egg production piled up again - it will still be a buyer's market, but this time, they have lost a big customer.

"It's so dangerous, next," Lin Sanjiu smiled slightly, exhaled, and instructed Xiao Er to delete hundreds of messages: "I'm going to slowly sell this batch of desserts and eggs at a price far below the market price." ”

Teacher Yi was already dumbfounded.

"That old duck ......," she murmured, "has plucked everyone in this market." ”

"I'll tell you," as if he had heard some compliment, Lin Sanjiu smiled: "I don't dare to do business like this usually, but now I can shoot and leave, not in vain, this feeling is really enjoyable!" ”

With enough stamina, the rest is easy.

After buying all the goods that should be bought with the money and adding one hundred and fifty pounds of eggs, Lin Sanjiu finally paid off the debts of the merchants on the pumpkin road and avoided the fate of being punished by the Star Amusement Park. And after she almost completely disrupted the market's low-price dumping, 320 desserts and 850 pounds of eggs brought her a total of 2815 stamina -

Wearing a newly bought combat vest and shorts, Lin Sanjiu sat on the pumpkin road basking in the sun.

When her gaze fell on the figures that appeared in the distance at some point, she jumped up with a smile: "Let's go!" I'm done for you! (To be continued.) )
