Mei Yu walked into the inner hall angrily and said to Mei Ruogu: "Father, the Zheng family has already made some moves. ”

A day earlier, Zheng Zirong came to the door again, and Mei Ruogu made it clear that he did not want to cooperate with anyone, and politely refused his proposal.

Because Mei Ruogu knows very well that as long as the Zheng family is opened, other families will also come over and ask for a piece of the pie, and the market will be carved up by them, and there will really be nothing to do with the Mei family trading company at that time.

Although the Mei family trading company was not strong enough to compete with the Zheng family, since it already knew the other party's wolf ambitions, of course it couldn't make concessions.

Before Zheng Zirong left, he left a sentence in a cold voice: Since Shopkeeper Mei is so confident in himself, then let's wait and see.

In the afternoon of the same day, things had already become complicated, and several trading companies that had promised to deliver goods had defaulted, and Mei Ruogu sent people to urge them, after all, everyone had signed a cooperation agreement, and he believed that these people would not dare to tear up the contract unilaterally.

But as it turned out, he thought it was simple.

Several trading companies prevaricated for various reasons, what team had gone out to collect medicine had not yet returned, what alchemist's family had problems, resulting in a decline in the output of pills, etc., no one tore their faces and said that they would not supply, but they all chose to delay time.

Mei Ruogu was very angry, it was understandable that one family had an accident, and several had problems at the same time, obviously someone was manipulating behind it.

You don't have to guess to know that it must be Zheng Zirong who is behind the scenes.

Today's situation is even worse, the original retail investors who came to sell goods are also gone, and when I inquired, I learned that Zheng's trading company is receiving goods in a high-profile manner, and the price is half a percent higher than that of Mei's.

After the retail investors learned the news, they flocked to Zheng's trading company, and they could make half a cent more money, so why not.

Mei Ruogu gritted his teeth and said: "Zheng Zirong's move is ruthless enough! First, he controls the bulk transactions of various trading companies, and then attracts retail investors at high prices, and all the goods in the world are controlled by his family, and the human race can only choose to trade with him." ”

Mei Yu said angrily: "Zheng Zirong has already released his words, saying that he is willing to release the goods to us, but the price will be increased by two percent!"

"He's crazy!" Mei Ruogu said angrily: "All along, our gross profit has been controlled at about one and a half percent, excluding the normal expenses of warehousing, transportation and trading companies, the net profit is only about half a percent, as soon as he opens his mouth, he will increase by two percent, not only can we not make money, but also have to lose money!"

The cooperation with the human race has also signed a contract, and as a supplier, it is not allowed to increase the price without authorization, which is the most basic requirement.

Of course, the price increase of raw materials is a reasonable thing, but the price increase caused by this kind of unhealthy competition will never be paid by the human race.

Even if the human race sees Ye Yunyang's face and is willing to purchase at a higher price, the Zheng trading company will definitely jump out immediately, saying that it is willing to ship at a low price, or even at the original price, so as to squeeze the Mei trading company.

There are low-priced goods, and of course no one wants to pay a high price, unless the Terran head shows off.

Mei Yu said helplessly: "They want to force us to death, the most important thing is that we have no power to fight back, and if we can't get the goods, we can't maintain the trade with the human race, in fact, the number of the first two batches of goods has shrunk." ”

Mei Ruogu's eyes widened: "What's the matter?"

Mei Yu sighed and said, "I thought it was a normal situation, but I thought it was because of the frequent activities of the barbarians, which led to the reduction of the harvest of the hunting team, but now it seems that it is not like that at all." Obviously, Zheng Zirong had already planned and acted before the first negotiation with you, and in this confrontation, we fell behind from the beginning. ”

Mei Ruogu suddenly realized: "No wonder when Zheng Zirong came to see me for the first time, he was extremely arrogant, where is there a little politeness that cooperation should have, it turns out that he has something to rely on." ”

"We don't have the power to fight back. Mei Yu's face was full of disappointment, and said: "Although Mei's trading company has risen rapidly, it has no foundation after all, and it can't compete with those big families. ”

Mei Ruogu fell into deep thought, how to solve this matter, how to explain it to Ye Yunyang, he didn't know the bottom in his heart.

......

The large barbecue meat is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and the wine in the big jar is mellow and sweet.

Ye Yunyang swallowed the food in his mouth and said to Chen Shilai: "You can drink with them, don't worry about it here, we can handle it ourselves." ”

Chen Shilai hugged his fists and said, "Obey." ”

Then he turned around and went to find the rest of his entourage, drinking and chatting.

Ye Yunyang turned his head to look at Ying Qi and said, "Qiqi, do you have something to say?"

After returning from the hunt, Ying Qi went into the tent with the communicator, and did not come out of the tent until Dongfang Yixue went to call her for dinner.

Ying Qi nodded and said, "It's a business matter, the transport team returned from the Divine Realm, and the goods brought back were only half of what they were before. There is one thing I have not told you, this is not the first time, the last time the goods were only seventy percent, and the explanation given by the Mei trading company was that the production of medicinal herbs was reduced because of the war. ”

Ye Yunyang frowned: "What are you suspecting?"

"The decrease in the number of medicinal herbs is understandable, why is the pill also decreasing so much. Ying Qi said.

Dongfang Yixue analyzed: "Something happened in the Divine Realm?"

Ying Qi shook his head: "It's not that serious, I think there's something wrong with Mei's Trading Company." Because the amount of weapons, armor, and metal ore has not decreased, if it is really caused by the war between the gods and the barbarians, why has the Lei clan trading company not been affected. ”

Like the Mei Trading Company, the Lei Trading Company has just been established, and because it is engaged in trade with the human race, it has developed greatly in a short period of time and has gained a place in the Divine Realm business circle.

But unlike the Mei Trading Company, the Lei Family Trading Company has Lei Shaoyuan in charge, and he has been quite appreciated by Elder Zhao recently, and there is a tendency to ascend to the sky and become a deputy elder, so the Zheng family does not dare to attack the idea of the Lei Trading Company.

In contrast, Mei's Trading Company has no background, no background, and does not bully you or bully.

Although he didn't know these things, Ye Yunyang was still keenly aware of something inside, and decided to take the time to go to the God Realm to understand the situation.

Ying Qi then said: "But don't worry, there are more goods from the barbarian side every time, not only can the shortage on the side of the god realm, but also have a surplus. ”

"That's good. Ye Yunyang nodded, and changed his words: "But after all, these things can't be put on the table, and it is very easy to expose our relationship with the barbarians, especially after the goods from the God Realm are cut off, our side is not affected in any way, and smart people can see the trickiness at a glance." ”

Ying Qi frowned and said, "Your worries are not unreasonable, I will keep an eye on it to avoid this kind of thing from happening." ”

After a night without a word, Ye Yunyang set off for the Divine Realm on the second night and arrived on the morning of the third day.

He didn't alarm anyone and went directly to the Mei Trading Company.

When he was still some way away from his destination, he saw several Protoss dressed as medicine pickers, and happily caught up from behind, one of them said: "It seems that the Mei family and the Zheng family are on the bar, the Zheng family has increased the price by half percent, and the Mei family has also increased the price, and it has become us who take advantage of it." ”

"Who said no, although it only rose by half percent, it was a real net profit, after this batch of goods was sold, you can buy a few more jars of Terran wine, and go home to celebrate. ”

Hearing this, Ye Yunyang couldn't help frowning.

He knows very well the profits of Mei's trading company, and half of the price increase is equal to not making a penny, is it a loss to make money?

At this time, a man standing on the side of the road stepped forward quickly and said, "Everyone, are you going to ship, Mei's Trading Company?"

"yes, what's the problem?" asked a few people with alert expressions.

The man smiled and said, "You don't know yet, the Zheng trading company has raised the price to one." ”

"Really?" said several people in disbelief.

"Of course it's true!" The man pointed to the gate of Mei's trading company not far away, and said, "Just look at it, there is no one over there, just because the price of the Zheng family has increased again, everyone is busy shipping over there, and they can make more than half of the money!"

Several people's eyes lit up, and they immediately made a choice: "Let's go to the Zheng family trading house too!"

Seeing them turn around and leave, the man's face showed a treacherous look, the Zheng family did not raise the price to one percent at all, but continued to maintain a half-percent price increase, Zheng Zirong found a group of people to scatter around the Mei trading company, responsible for walking fake news.

After the retail investors were deceived in the past, they found that the price did not rise, but since they have come, they will not go back to Mei's Trading Company, anyway, the price offered by the two is the same, so even if they are fooled, they will choose to ship in Zheng's house.

Ye Yunyang continued to walk forward, and the Mei family was full of people, looking extremely deserted.

Walking through the door, a couple of guys were standing behind the counter dozing off and listless.

He had been here several times before, and each time it was a lively and unusual scene, and even Meiyu, a young owner, was so busy that he could hardly spare time to greet him, which was in stark contrast to the moment.

"Ahem!"

Hearing the cough, several guys raised their heads at the same time, and the leader looked at him, and when he saw that he didn't look like a shipment, he asked weakly: "This guest officer, what are you doing?"

"I'm looking for the rainy season. He said aloud.

"Yun Yang, why are you back?" Mei Yu came out of the room when she heard the voice, and said with a little surprise: "When you left last time, didn't you say that you didn't plan to come back if there was nothing important?"

Ye Yunyang smiled slightly, and said with deep meaning: "Isn't there something important now, of course I have to rush back." Anyway, you've really changed a lot here, and the moment I came in, I was even wondering, is this still the Mei trading company I'm familiar with?"

Mei Yuqiao's face flushed, and she said embarrassedly: "I'm disappointed you, my father and I can't do anything about it! I really can't figure it out, the price has been raised yesterday afternoon, but except for a few small businesses, still no one has come to ship, obviously the same price, why do everyone choose Zheng's trading company, is our reputation so bad?"

Ye Yunyang lowered his voice and said: "Because all the people who come here to ship have been cut off, haven't you noticed that there are a bunch of thieves and rat-eyed guys on the surrounding streets, as long as they see someone coming, they will come forward to talk to them and trick people to Zheng's trading company." ”

Mei Yuqi's apricot eyes stood upside down: "So that's the case, the people of the Zheng family are too shameless! This is malicious competition, I want to go to the Council of Elders to expose them, it's too much!"

Ye Yunyang shook his head: "It's useless, since the Zheng family dares to use such despicable means, they must have thought of a way out, even if you arrest all those people, they will not admit that they have a half-dime relationship with the Zheng family." ”

"Then let them do whatever they want?" said Mei Yu could not accept it.

"This is not the place to speak, is Uncle Mei here?" Ye Yunyang shrugged, and after receiving an affirmative answer, he said, "Great, then let's go in and talk!"
