Chapter 1996 1,889. The Consequences Were Endless
“If they don’t have money, then they don’t have money. What does that have to do with us?”Mo Xiaochai did not think much of it.
“This is where you are nave! Let me ask you, if the people of the Taiji sect civilization don’t have money, what will they use to buy the goods in the market in the future? If no one buys the goods, will the shops go bankrupt on a large scale? If the shops go bankrupt, will the rich owners leave the Taiji civilization with their wealth and go to other prosperous civilizations to develop
“Will there be a depression after the large-scale owners leave? “After the depression, the heavenly materials and earthly treasures excavated by the Warriors are not taken by anyone, and the daily necessities refined are not taken by anyone. They are in a desperate situation! “What will they do in order to survive? “Burn! “Kill! “Rob! “Plunder
“The Taiji civilization is in chaos, and the resources have entered an era of scarcity. How will the Taiji sect draw on its resources? “Its heritage is decreasing day by day until it is finally lacking. What do you use to voluntarily recruit new disciples? “Without new disciples, how long can your Taiji sect survive?”
At first, everyone heard it with disdain, but slowly, the more they listened, the more solemn their expressions became.
Mo Xiaochai fell into deep thought.
What she said was really... too reasonable.
It seemed that the martial artists’extortion of money had nothing to do with their Taiji sect, but the negative effects would gradually appear in the years to come, causing the Taiji civilization to enter a vicious cycle.
Perhaps, the prosperous Taiji civilization might fall into decline.
For a moment, everyone’s heart was raised, and they were more vigilant than ever toward the Star Alliance Chamber of Commerce.
Yun Qianshuang finished in one breath and said disdainfully, “I finally understand how you became the leader of the Taiji sect. It’s hard for you not to become the leader if you want to be with a bunch of pigs.”
Su Yu shook his head calmly. “They just haven’t been exposed to the dangers of business.”
“Now, who else has any objection to the release of the Taiji sect’s treasury?”
The old woman said, “I’m all for it. We can’t let the maggots of the Star Alliance Chamber of Commerce Succeed!”
The elders agreed one after another. After Yun Qianshuang’s explanation, they finally understood the great dangers hidden in the price fluctuation this time.
Mo Xiaochai also agreed, she said, “However, the foundation of our Taiji sect can only last for twenty days. I’m afraid that it will be very difficult to last for a month. By then, our Taiji sect’s treasury will be exhausted, and the price will not be able to be suppressed. Instead, we will be in an even worse situation.”
Su Yu nodded. “You are right, but there is no need to worry about the resources. I will contact a group of people right now and try my best to deliver the resources that we need. I believe that it will not be difficult for us to last for a month.”
The higher-ups of the Taiji sect had the same opinion. After a few hours, they used the mansions of the shadow elders as temporary shops to sell daily necessities, including pills, talismans, materials, and so on.
Fortunately, the Taiji sect had many years of foundation, and they had all kinds of resources. They had everything they needed, which completely satisfied the needs of the Taiji sect’s civilization.
Originally, it was difficult for warriors to find elixirs even if they had thousands of gold coins. But when they suddenly learned that the Taiji sect had opened their treasury and was selling them at the usual low price, who would still buy them in the market?
One after another, they went to the mansions of the Yin-yang elders to buy them.
For a time, the mansions of the Yin-yang elders were packed to the brim. In front of one mansions, there were millions of creatures, and the crowd was still gathering.
Because of this, elder Yin Yang was extremely busy, and he mobilized his disciples to help sell.
In order to prevent the Star Alliance Chamber of Commerce from hiring people to buy the resources of the Taiji sect, Su Yu ordered that a ranking system be implemented.
Everyone could only use their own number plate to buy once a day!
And the quantity of one time was only limited to the amount used that day.
Thus, the Star Alliance Chamber of Commerce could do nothing.
In a cold restaurant somewhere, a group of people were gathered in a private room.
The people present were all famous merchants of the Taiji civilization. Among them were the big shots of the pill industry, the overlords of the wood-elemental materials industry, the number one person in the talisman industry, and so on.
Their tables were filled with delicacies that mortals dreamed of.
However, at this moment, their faces were as gloomy as water, and they had no appetite at all.
“Say something. After all, this is the 108th gathering of the Taiji civilization branch of the Star Alliance Chamber of Commerce.”The speaker was the big shot of the elixir industry, Yao bailing.
The overlord of the wood-elemental materials industry, Xiao Qian laughed self-deprecatingly. “I would rather not have this gathering.”
In order to hide their identities, they never gathered and pretended not to know each other.
But now, they had to meet because the Taiji sect master had returned.
More importantly, not only did he come back, but he also released the Taiji sect’s treasury with great courage.
“To think that you can still keep your cool!”The number one person in the talisman industry.., bao Qianjin slammed the table angrily. “Do you know that I spent three trillion to purchase low-and middle-level talismans and have sold less than thirty billion so far? If the rest can’t be sold, I... I can only die!”
The Star Alliance Chamber of Commerce would not forgive him for such a huge loss!
Xiao Qian laughed bitterly. “You only spent three trillion. Do you know that I have invested ten trillion divine stones? “Of which, three trillion is loan-sharking money borrowed from the black market. Now, I have only sold one hundred billion. If the rest is thrown into my hands, Hehe... my wife and children will be used as slaves by the black market to pay off the debt!”
Yao bailing’s face was solemn, she said casually, “Because of the huge amount of pills in my elixir industry, I’ve accumulated more than 10 trillion in the early stages for this hype. Now, I haven’t even taken back a hundred million divine stones. If you guys are so anxious, won’t I die from internal strife?”
Hearing the hidden meaning in Yao bailing’s words, Xiao Qian and Bao Qianjin’s hearts moved. They asked in unison, “Brother Yao, do you have any brilliant ideas?”
Yao bailing shook her head. “With the boldness and wisdom of the new sect master of the Taiji sect, what brilliant ideas can we have now? I’m afraid that he can see through any scheme at a glance!”
Hearing this, Xiao Qian and Bao Qianjin were greatly disappointed.
A hint of regret appeared in Xiao Qian’s eyes. “In the end, I was careless. I thought that the new sect master was just a young boy who had cultivated for less than a hundred years. He also happened to encounter a calamity like the human and demon in the Taiji civilization, so he had the idea of making a fortune.”
“Who knew that the new sect master was not only an extremely smart person, but also an extremely bold person who had opened up the foundation of the Taiji sect for hundreds of millions of years. None of the previous sect masters would dare to do this easily, right?”
Princess Bao also thumped her chest and let out a long sigh. “Who knows, he might really fall into his hands.”
“Fall? Hehe, that might not be the case!”Yao bailing said with a half-smile. “Although I don’t have any good ideas, I still have some open schemes.”
Xiao Qian and Bao Qianjin said, “Since it’s already so late, let’s not hide it. If you have any ideas, just tell us quickly. We can discuss them together.”
Yao bailing smiled confidently. “It’s very simple. We are merchants. Naturally, we should do our part as merchants -- exchange at the same price!”
Taiji sect.
Five days had passed since the opening of Taiji sect’s treasury.
In the Taiji Grand Hall, a group of Taiji sect’s upper echelons were listening to the Yin Yang Elders’price survey of the market.
“The Bodhi Pill’s price has dropped from the peak of 300 divine stones to 150!”
“The Gale Talisman’s price has dropped from the peak of 1,000 divine stones to 700 divine stones.”
..
Su Yu listened patiently. After a long while, he said, “There are only 10,000 kinds of goods whose prices have dropped, and 90,000 kinds of goods whose prices have yet to drop. In other words, the Taiji civilization’s market has been infiltrated by the Star Alliance Chamber of Commerce, and more than 90% of its economic lifeline has been secretly controlled by someone. That’s really something!”
His words made the old woman and the Earth elders feel embarrassed.
Mo Xiaochai said, “It’s all because of that old man, the former sect master, who advocated to take in the merchants from the outside world and give them preferential treatment. That’s why many people from the Star Alliance Chamber of Commerce took advantage of the loophole.”
It was meaningless to pursue the responsibility of the dead.
The former sect master’s actions could not be wrong. At least, it had strengthened the prosperity of the Taiji civilization, but such prosperity was only an illusion.
Similar to today, when the Star Alliance Chamber of Commerce wanted to cause trouble, it would bring destruction to the Taiji civilization.
The disadvantages were greater than the advantages.
The previous sect master’s decision in this aspect was seriously lacking in consideration.
“Yes, remember the names of those who maintain the high prices,”Su Yu said calmly.
Seeing the harm of the Star Alliance Chamber of Commerce, everyone deeply agreed.
If they survived this disaster, they had to uproot the Star Alliance Chamber of Commerce!
While they were discussing the critical point, elder Yin Yang came to report, “Reporting to sect master, the representative of the market shop, medicine bailing, is here to pay a visit to sect master...”
“No!”Su Yu said without hesitation.
A mere merchant could meet sect master Taiji at will if he wanted to. This would make people look down on sect master’s ability, and it would also make the creatures of Taiji civilization question the ability of Taiji sect to maintain prices.
Otherwise, why would they need to meet the representatives of the market shops?
Elder Yin Yang hesitated and said, “Medicine bailing said that it’s about the matter of the human demons. She wants to make a deal with the sect master.”
“There’s no need to talk. Tell medicine bailing that the price of the pills should return to normal immediately. Let bygones be bygones. Otherwise, Scram immediately!”Su Yu could think of what medicine bailing wanted to talk about without using his brain.
In exchange for the Taiji civilization stopping the opening of the Treasury, the Star Alliance Chamber of Commerce would deal with the demons.
Medicine Elfy probably felt that this was a conspiracy. Even if Su Yu accepted it, he had to accept it. He had to make a choice.
Unfortunately, Su Yu had a third choice.
Outside the Taiji sect, in the waiting room.
Under the respectful gazes of a few Taiji sect disciples, medicine elfy arrogantly sipped his tea.
The Yin Yang Elder who was in charge of receiving them had a gentle and humble attitude. Yao bailing was an important figure that he could not reach.
Now, she even had the right to speak to the Taiji sect as an equal.
“Shopkeeper Yao, is what you said about dealing with demons true?”
Yao bailing looked at him indifferently and said, “These matters are not for you, an elder of the Yin Yang sect, to ask about, right?”
Elder yin and Yang’s expression stiffened slightly and he shut his mouth embarrassedly.
Although he was a little displeased that the other party had thrown away his face, his current position was indeed not something he could do anything about.
He could only sit alone resentfully with a respectful expression and did not dare to offend him.
Suddenly, the disciple who had gone to report returned.
Yao bailing calmly held a prepared contract and said leisurely, “I believe your sect master has made up his mind. Lead the way!”
The returning disciple revealed a somewhat amused expression and asked in return, “Lead the way?”
