Gongsun family, Xu family, Shangguan family, Tang family, Liu family.
Qingzhou, a manor.
The heads of several major families gathered together to discuss the collapse of locust prices.
"Have you all received the news from that person?" The head of the Shangguan family looked at everyone with a serious face and said in a deep voice.
"Of course...notify us at this time, it's really..." The head of the Xu family showed a bitter smile. There are still many locusts in the Xu family that have not been sold. According to the current situation, In this situation, I'm afraid those locusts will lose money.
But fortunately, I made a fortune in the early stage, so even if I lose everything, I won’t lose too much! !
"Damn it, this Zhou Zhenwen is really going to kill me!!" The head of the Tang family screamed and slammed the table hard, his face gloomy and extremely ugly, "I still have hundreds of thousands of locusts that haven't been digested yet. Now I have to pay you to death!! What should I do? Head of the Gongsun family, please help me find a way!!"
"If this fails, our Tang family may..."
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the other family heads were not very good, and they all turned their attention to Gongsun Wuji.
Gongsun Wuji let out a long sigh and looked at the head of the Tang family: "Hey! Head of the Tang family! I have told you this business a long time ago. You can only use part of the money to do it, and you must not get involved. Zhou Zhenwen is here to make money. He is also here to suppress us. He is a powerful dragon from the capital, and we are local snakes in Qingzhou. We should be the ones to take control of him, but the current situation is that we have been taken care of by him!"
"In the last cooperation, we all signed a written contract and have broken with other aristocratic families. This time the price collapsed, our vitality was greatly damaged, and they suffered a great loss because they all followed our actions. Once the written contract is exposed, , we colluded with the Qingzhou government, and things against them were exposed, do you think they will take action against the Qingzhou government, or will they fight with us?"
"This..." The head of the Tang family looked a little unhappy. Although he didn't want to admit it, the contract had been signed. Now that he had broken with Zhou Zhenwen, it was impossible for him to assemble the power of the Qingzhou family to deal with Zhou Zhenwen.
The original document contract was a complete trap.
No one can have both sides!
"But we agreed at the beginning that he would notify us when he doesn't do it, but what about now?"
"He collected the net from various places in advance and ruined the price. He couldn't hide the news before telling us!"
"He broke the contract!!"
The head of the Tang family said unwillingly.
"Yes, he broke the contract, but he did tell us that although the time is short, there may not be no chance." Gongsun Wuji looked at the head of the Tang family and said solemnly: "Head of the Tang family, I can save you now. , only Zhou Zhenwen."
"And we also need Zhou Zhenwen to give an explanation for this matter."
"There are only two ways to break the situation now..."
"I hope the head of the Gongsun family can give me some advice!" the head of the Tang family quickly said.
Several other family heads also quickly echoed:
"I hope the head of the Gongsun family can give me some advice!"
"Master Gongsun depends on you for everything!"
"Master Gongsun, please speak..."
Gongsun Wuji looked around at the people around him, pondered for a moment, and then said: "First of all, we have a written agreement with Zhou Zhenwen. Even if he wants to take advantage of the enemy and take us down together, he still needs to worry about the impact. We can be tricked by him. , However, since we have cooperated, he has the responsibility to ensure our profits, so I think we must visit Zhou Mansion to see his reaction."
"The head of the Tang family can come with me. Let's go cry and test Mr. Zhou's reaction."
"Secondly, we cannot put all our hopes on the other party, we must save ourselves. Although the price will plunge tomorrow, there is still a certain time for operation today. During this period, we must try our best to operate without affecting the price. Get rid of the locusts in your hands whenever possible, so as to minimize price losses."
"Our advantage is that other aristocratic families don't know about our cooperation. They still take us as the leader. A dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist. At the deadline, we must throw the locusts in our hands to them and let them take over for us! !”
At this point, Gongsun Wuji's eyes flashed with a stern look, and his tone became a bit colder: "The rest of us will die together, it's better for them to die and we to live!!"
As soon as these words came out, several heads of the aristocratic families looked at each other and nodded slightly, agreeing to the plan.
"But if we do this, we will fight them until death!" Gongsun Wuji continued.
Hearing this, the head of the Tang family grinned and said in a cold voice: "Death or death? As long as they accept this blow this time, who cares whether they can survive or not?"
"Why worry about a dead family?"
"Yes, whether you are a dead Taoist friend or a poor Taoist, there must be someone anyway, so why can't it be them?" The head of the Xu family also agreed coldly.
"I thought there were too many Qingzhou aristocratic families, so it would be a good idea to take this opportunity to cleanse them, right?" said the head of the Shangguan family.
"Okay, in that case, we will make a plan to let other aristocratic families fall into the trap. This matter also needs the support of the Qingzhou government. If Zhou Zhenwen is willing to help us, this matter will be easy to promote, since his methods can be copied in other places , then why can't it be replicated in Qingzhou City?" Gongsun Wuji showed a smile and said softly.
"What does the head of the Gongsun family plan to do?" the head of the Tang family asked.
"It's very simple."
"The locust business is in full swing now. It's so hot. If we hadn't gotten the news, how could we have imagined that the situation would change overnight?"
"What we all know so late, they may not know. As long as the Qingzhou government can help, set up checkpoints in the city near Qingzhou City, temporarily block the caravans coming from various places, and postpone it for three days, we can definitely We used this time to create a scam in which other state and county officials followed suit and planned to cooperate with businessmen to jointly purchase a large number of locusts. We first paid to eat all the locusts in their hands, and then organized caravans to enter the city to restock them. Throw them their locusts and our stores in one fell swoop.”
"Let them eat the locusts in our hands, and when all the locusts are eaten, wait for them..."
Gongsun Wuji sneered, and the following words were already obvious.
"Wonderful, wonderful!!" The head of the Tang family stroked his beard and smiled, the gloomy look between his eyebrows completely disappeared, and he said with some excitement: "As long as they eat the goods, these officials and people will disappear. ?”
"Then all the locusts will die in our hands and we will escape unscathed. Can we still make a fortune?"
"Hahaha......"
"Not bad." Gongsun Wuji nodded with a smile.
"If other aristocratic families find out about this, they will probably fight against us!" The head of the Shangguan family said with some worry.
"Desperately?"
"What are they trying to do for us?"
"Without money, they are nothing!" the head of the Tang family said nonchalantly.
The head of the Liu family waved his hand: "Actually, there is no need to offend them to death. We can be treated as victims together with them. Just think that we also purchased a large number of locusts and ended up losing money. This notoriety should be given to Zhou Zhenwen. !”
"He won't stay long anyway, so why should we take the blame ourselves?"
"It makes sense. After making so much money, isn't it justifiable to be hated by others?" The head of the Tang family nodded in agreement.
