，

After the transport ship of the Skulling Company stopped at the dock point, the tightly packed Tsele was carried off the ship by the dock workers and piled directly on the dock.

After the people in the exchange were not busy to see, they came out of it and surrounded the mountain of salt bales on the docks.

There were more than just dockers. The Nedel people who heard the news nearby also poured into the dock and circled around the salt packets.

One by one. His eyes glowed green, and he looked at the salt with slander.

Although the sun was scorching overhead, and it was ten o'clock in the middle of the day, even the seaside was uncomfortable, but this did not affect the enthusiasm of the people on the pier.

After eating a meal that lacked salt and spices for more than two months, the Nadel people used the old saying that a bird can fade out of their mouths.

At this time, I suddenly heard that a large amount of salt was transported to the wharf, and the group of black-hearted salt merchants who hoarded and wanted to make a big country could no longer stand it.

The most important thing is. The price of salt, which is so high that it is more than three parts more expensive than meat, is about to fall!

Hearing this good news, not to mention the anxious people, even the heaviest ruffians can't wait to go to the scene to have a look.

Even if you can't buy the salt yourself, it's good to walk over and smell it.

Catherine leaned lazily against the window with her plump buttocks cocked. Look at the chaotic harbor below. Slightly uneasy, he said, "Is it okay to let Leo go like this? The more people there are, the more energetic he gets when he messes around. ”

Lorraine looked at the exchange behind the dock through the window, shrugged his shoulders, and said with a wry smile: "Is there any way? Can you not let him go? He just got leprosy and almost rolled on the ground. Besides, don't talk about me, why didn't you stop him just now?"

Catherine was very annoyed at the moment, and said coldly, "Hmph." snorted, then pinched Lorraine's waist hard, and said angrily in a low voice: "You are used to him." Look what he's looking like now!"

Adele gracefully took a sip of cold red wine. Said softly: "I think it's good that boys are cute when they are lively, and in the future, my children will have Leo's liveliness."

As he spoke, he blinked his eyes and flew over with a charming look.

Catherine was stunned.

She was angry, but after thinking about it, she just snorted, and let go of Lorraine in her hand, and gently rubbed it where she had just pinched.

Lorraine smiled bitterly, and said secretly in her heart: This is really Catherine's version of beating a stick, and then giving a sweet date.

When Adele saw it, she couldn't help but laugh like a fox who had stolen a chicken. She drank the wine in one gulp, playfully pushing the ice cubes in her mouth.

Leo was seen walking out of the exchange. Lorraine said: "Alright, that riffraff is done with the stinking fart, now it's time for us to clean up the gang of black hands." We've only been praying for two days, and they're going to think they're vegetarians, and this time I'm going to drive them all out into the streets and beg.

These old people still don't understand that playing outside the system, I can at most let them break the bank and play inside the system. It is easiest for them to raid their homes and destroy their doors. ”

Adele still didn't think so, poured herself another glass of red wine, and took a sip. Said: "Isn't this the place in Nai'an?"

They can only entertain themselves behind closed doors. It's not that I'm laughing at them, these natives who don't even understand fashion have probably not even seen the crudest court drama, otherwise they wouldn't even have a simple conspiracy, which is really disappointing.

Originally, Sister Ben was still looking forward to fighting with those fox spirits, but she didn't expect that they were all aunts and aunts. ”

She said, raising her glass. Then he narrowed his eyes, looked at the magnificent colors reflected by the sunlight through the wine glass, and sighed faintly. Said: "Alas" There is no opponent's life, it is really lonely!"

Catherine rolled her eyes in anger.

She settled down and decided not to pay attention to the vixen, otherwise she would get sick sooner or later.

She turned her head to look out the window, and when she saw the group of salt merchants, her heart was angry again. Liu raised his eyebrows and said: "No matter what, this group of people actually dares to hijack the people's livelihood and materials and threaten the imperial officials, these natives of Naian." Don't leave them a lesson that will last a lifetime. It seems that they will not take the dignity of the royal family seriously. ”

At this moment, several horse-drawn carriages galloped into the dock.

The carriages went on a rampage without hesitation, rushing quickly among the pedestrians, causing chickens and dogs to jump.

The people on the road hurriedly ducked to the side, and then in the dust rolled up by the vehicle, pointed at the back of the carriage and cursed.

Seeing the crowd of people on the port, it was really impossible to squeeze in, so these cars stopped.

Several richly dressed men hurriedly jumped out of the carriage, nodded to each other, and squeezed into the crowd at the dock without saying a word.

They scrambled to squeeze in, and after a while, the boss passed. Only then did he squeeze through the crowd and move to the dock where the ship was parked.

They watched as the tall bales of salt were piled up in front of them, and there were workers carrying them down the ship. They all stared at each other with wide eyes, and said in a panic: "How can this be? Where did all this come from?"

For a gray-headed middle-aged man, looking at the salt mountain in front of him, he couldn't help but pant wildly. Like a broken gramophone, he kept repeating, "What should I do? What should I do?"

While talking to himself, he glanced at the crowd around him, and all he saw were people happily discussing how the price of salt would fall in front of the salt mountain.

Only the enemy businessman who specialized in the Wuzhan Institute just now was as if his soul had been sucked away, staring at the fox and looking at his mouth. Standing stupidly in front of the salt bag, with a blank face.

The middle-aged man ran over in a few steps, grabbed the salt merchant by the collar, and pulled him hard in front of his eyes.

He glared into the salt merchant's eyes and shook his collar. He said sharply: "What's going on?

The salt merchant was shaken by him twice, and then he came back to his senses, looked at the middle-aged man in front of him fixedly, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said bitterly: "Lord Holmyne, it's all over." Complete"

Holmion immediately felt a cold hand and foot, and his heart sank to the bottom, but he was still unwilling, and continued to shake the salt merchant's collar and asked angrily. "Where does all this salt come from?.

The salt merchant said astringently: "Nashi Salt Company." It was the salt factory built by Luolinzi, all of which came from the salt industry in Nai'an. ”

Holmion continued to grasp the salt merchant's collar with one hand. The salt bales piled up with one hand and one finger said loudly: "How is this possible, didn't you say that he will never produce as much as us?"

The salt merchant grimaced and said, "We have been deceived, Lord Homien, we have all been deceived. How could there be only 1,000 salt merchants in 5,000 acres, and at least 10,000 people in that salt farm

"This is impossible, where can he recruit so many people?" Holmion couldn't help himself, pushing the salt merchant away, and turned his head to look at the salt bales that were still rising. Suddenly, there was a big appearance, and he slapped his leg and said, "By the way, that kid must be putting a smoke screen, he is piling up so much salt to scare us."

After saying that, Hormien laughed and said, "It must be like this." ”

Several people who came with him also clapped their palms and shouted, "Yes, it can't be wrong."

"You actually came to Yin with us. ”

"He's just looking for a few thousand people from neighboring provinces, and we won't be without news. ”

These people are like drowning people grasping at a life-saving straw, desperately cheering themselves up

The old salt merchant looked at the few big people in front of him who were hiding behind the scenes and manipulating the price of salt, and was still looking for reasons to comfort himself, and suddenly felt very funny, shaking his head, and secretly saying in his heart: This is the virtue. I usually think I'm a big guy? What's even more ridiculous is that I used to think so.

He looked at the salt merchant and said coldly: "Impossible? In the past half a month, although they have been shipping on a large scale, we have eaten more than a million pounds of goods."

We don't have as much production as anyone else. This can't be faked, the trap has been prepared early in the morning, we have all fallen into the trap, and in the afternoon, the salt is all worthless. ”

The people were speechless for a moment, they were stunned for a moment, and they shouted, "What should we do?

The onlookers have already seen that these people are the masterminds behind the high price of salt, looking at them all panicked like lost dogs, all of them feel happy, surrounding them, some laughing loudly, some scolding loudly.

Homien grabbed the salt merchant's shoulder again, and asked with a hideous expression: "I threw all the 80,000 gold coins in it, how are you responsible?"

As if he had heard a very funny joke, the salt merchant laughed and said, "How am I responsible? I have staked all my family property and lost nothing, who will be responsible for me? If it weren't for your own greed and arrogance, how would you be here today?" Haha, you have offended the Governor. Losing money is the beginning, and I'm watching how you die below. ”

The salt merchant spoke, pushing away Hermien in front of him. Turning around and walking towards the dock, he jumped up

Go.

Holmion and the others watched the salt merchant jump into the sea blankly, and then they all looked at each other with frightened expressions, the last sentence that the salt merchant said scared them, he was right, this is the first step of Lorraine's counterattack, and it will definitely not be the last step. There must be other means waiting for them later.

Seeing that the salt merchant had dived, the onlookers were also startled, and immediately began to shout: "Someone has dived, someone has dived." ”

Several people shouted, "Hurry up and go down and save people." ”

The dockers looked at each other for a moment, then turned their heads away. One of them said, "If you want to go, the ships in the harbor will come and go, and you will go down to find death." Besides, salt merchant, why are you saving him!"

There are also people who don't say a word and jump into the sea to save people.

The people in the harbor crowded to the water's edge and poked their heads out into the water.

A few minutes later, the man who went down swam up from the water, shook his head, and said, "There are boats everywhere, but I can't find them." ”

Hearing the sudden commotion below, Lorraine put down the wine glass in his hand, walked to the window and looked down, and said, "What's going on down there?"

Catherine and Adele also walked to the window and looked down.

From the upper floor, you can only see the chaos on the dock, and the crowd is all facing the water, gathering on the edge of the pier.

Vera chewed the ice cubes in her mouth with a crumbling sound. He raised his head and swallowed hard, and said blankly: "Someone below has dived." Really. What's the big deal about going down for a swim on such a hot day. ”

FeelingsVera took this dive as Lorraine's diving in the villa pool.

Lorraine was stunned for a moment and said, "Dive." "I immediately understood that someone had committed suicide by jumping into the water.

Lorraine looked back at Vera, not knowing how to explain it to Vera, thinking that it would be better for Vera to leave only good memories.

After a while, Leo and Melina pushed the door in.

As soon as Leo entered the door, he shouted loudly: "Really, there is actually a salt merchant down there who has dived, you said that such a big person, how can he bear it so much in his heart, and he can't stand a blow."

Leo nodded and said, "Yes, Jerry told me just now that there are a few people behind the salt frying, I was afraid that they were here to make it bad, so I watched them there, but I didn't expect a few people to talk about it, and the salt merchant actually jumped down." ”

Lorraine pursed her lips and said, "It's nothing." To be expected, this kind of investment speculation behavior. Once it crashes, it will have to jump a lot of people that time. ”

Lorraine said in her heart that Wall Street is not without the souls of those failed speculators, and similarly, the Beni River in Ney is also indispensable to salt merchants. If you dare to go to the pot to fish for meat, you must be prepared to be beaten. In just 29 years, the U.S. stock market crashed, and thousands committed suicide.

Adele showed a frightened expression, leaned on Lorraine like a frightened rabbit, grabbed Lorraine's arm, and asked nervously, "Has anyone rescued it?"

Melina thought for a moment and said, "The lamp seems to have been saved, right?"

Adele looked at Lorraine pitifully and said, "I've seen diving before, it's scary to think about." What to do?.

Lorraine pulled Adele into her arms, hugged Adele and patted her on the back, and said, "Good, good." It's good if you don't think about it, think about the Governor's Palace, it's going to be renovated right away. ”

Catherine rolled her eyes at the two fleshy people and asked Melina, "Merlin, did Leo Open do anything embarrassing?"

Leo: "Ah. sighed and protested: "If you don't look down on people so much, what do you want me to do shameful things?"

Catherine glared and said, "Shut up, I don't know you yet, and my proud tail has been cocked to the sky." ”

Leo was stunned for a moment, then turned his head, his big black and white eyes, fanning Melina vigorously, and his smiling back molars were exposed.

Melina looked at Leo's appearance, lowered her head and sighed, then looked up and said to Catherine with a smile: "It's okay, Sister Nicole, Leo is doing what Lorraine's brother said." ”

Catherine choked, and her face darkened. Said slowly: "That's the one that represents the moon?"

Melina smiled sweetly and nodded.

When Leo saw it, his heart and liver immediately lifted up, smiled dryly, and said, "That, I remembered, the group still has work, I'll go first." ”

"Hmph, you can run.

At that moment, the sound of ghosts crying and wolf howls came out.

In the afternoon, Lorraine had their own jobs, Lorraine was going back to the Governor's Palace, and Catherine and Adele were going to accept the renovation project of the Governor's Palace.

In the "Forward Command", there are only Leo who is lying on the sand rubbing his buttocks, Melina who is cold-eyed next to Leo, and Vera who is sitting in the president's seat and calculating diligently with a pen.

Jerry knocked on the door at this time and walked in, first saluting the giants of the Flying Eagle Group in the house, and then Melina is now the director of the president's office. According to Catherine's explanation, this position is dedicated to the president

Leo in order to maintain the authority of his president. Hurriedly endured the pain, sat up from the sand, and said, "Jerry, is there something wrong?"

"President, those salt merchants have been removed from the exchange, and I have come to ask the president. What to do with the salt on the dock?"

"They're all gone, so I can't sell them for fifteen silver coins?" said Leo in shock.

Jerry nodded.

"What is the current market price of table salt? Leo asked.

"When the market opened in the morning, it was fifty silver dollars a pound. After lunch had dropped to forty-two silver coins a pound, Jerry said.

Leo thought about it with his chin, and said secretly: "Nicole only said that she wanted me to lower the price of salt, but she didn't say how long it would take, anyway, in the end, I just lowered the price of salt, and this part of the income can also be used as a fake account to evade taxes, well, it's worth it."

Leo said, "Jerry." ”

"Yes, President. ”

Leo secretly glanced at Melina, who was dozing off beside him, and said, "In order to punish this group of unscrupulous merchants, I hit them hard from the heart." I decided that our salt should be sold in the market at the rate of thirty-eight silver coins a pound. Got it?"

As soon as Jerry heard it, it was clear that this was the president who was pursuing the maximization of profits, but they had a huge production as a basis, and they were not afraid to fight those people at all, and even said that no matter how they played, that group of people would be finished.

Jerry nodded and said, "Yes, President, understood." ”

In fact, after the salt merchants left the exchange at noon, the price of salt in Nedel City began to fluctuate, and some of the salt merchants knew that the storm was coming, but they could not do anything about it. With the idea of holding back a little bit is a little bit, the price of salt was lowered by a few silver coins first to win the market. The other salt merchants were in the same vein. As soon as they saw that someone had lowered, they also lowered the price.

But these salt merchants did not dare to reduce the price too much, just like Leo. They all have the idea of making as much money as possible, if you sell it for fifty, I will sell it for forty-nine, and if you drop it, I will drop it for another silver coin, and even so, the price of salt is still the time of a meal. It fell from fifty to forty-two.

The people behind the salt fry also know that this will not work. If this continues, before Lorraine makes a move, they themselves will compete in disorder, and it is likely that within a day, the salt merchants will be fighting among themselves. After they came back from the port. They gathered together and held an emergency meeting behind closed doors, although they were already anxious, but after receiving the news that their subordinates were competing at a reduced price, they still ordered their salt merchants to sell at a unified price. Settle down first, and then unite to find a way to fight Lorraine.
