A few days later, Nan Li Chengdu
The snow is falling and flakes are flying.
After a pause for a few days, heavy snow began to fall from the sky again.
Nanli City was peaceful and peaceful, but the streets were more lively and noisy than before.
Just because not long after, it will be the annual auspicious snow that heralds a good harvest and the festival to welcome the New Year.
Every household on the street is busy buying New Year's goods, and New Year's paper-cut window grilles have also begun to be pasted on the windows of the houses around the street.
Bright red lanterns are hung high, decorating the streets and alleys.
Stalls and shops selling New Year goods can be seen everywhere on the streets.
Even the monks who have been living in Nanli City cannot help but be infected by the festive atmosphere of the mortal world.
The entire Nanli City was filled with a jubilant and joyful atmosphere.
Among all this, only the Jiang family's mansion was lifeless and the atmosphere was extremely depressing.
A few days ago, the Qi family suddenly started buying up all kinds of fairy grass and elixirs in the city, and they bought them at very high prices.
Among the purchased fairy grass elixirs, there are many medicinal materials that are completely worthless and have no effect.
Many monks and drug dealers basically sold all the medicinal materials in their hands to the Qi family at high prices.
Jiang Zhen's keen business sense noticed the unusualness of the Qi family's wanton acquisition of fairy grass elixir.
He spent the night looking for many monks who were refining elixirs to study the medicinal materials purchased by the Qi family, but he could not figure out what new elixir the Qi family was trying to develop.
It's no wonder that the Jiang family couldn't study it.
The formula for the Lianxian Pill that Ning Yechen gave to the Qi family was developed by himself, and there is no record of it in the world.
And Qi Rongchang of the Qi family is also very smart.
He knew that the Jiang family would definitely notice that the medicinal materials purchased on a large scale were mixed with many fairy grass elixirs that were not included in the formula.
Even if the Jiang family spent a lifetime studying it, it would be impossible for them to figure it out.
At this time, in the Jiang family's mansion, Jiang Zhen was sitting in the lobby, frowning, stroking his forehead with his hand, looking tired.
With the Treasure Chamber of Commerce as a witness, he simply did not dare not to hand over the jurisdiction of the streets in Nanli City to the Qi family.
After the Qi family obtained jurisdiction over each street, they immediately began to suppress the Jiang family's business!
Many of the chambers of commerce under them have already turned to the Qi family!
In order to cope with the pressure from the Qi family, he has been very busy in recent days.
Except for a few stewards and his brother Jiang Ming, no one else in the family is of any use at all!
Especially his son Jiang Li, who has only known how to be romantic since before and has no talent at all in business!
Now that my lower body has been crippled, all I can do is hide at home and lose my temper and smash things every day. I have absolutely no ambition at all!
If it weren't for the fact that Jiang Li was Jiang Zhen's only son, he would have wanted to drive him out of the Jiang family!
The mysterious man who attacked Jiang Li and killed Jiang Gan has not yet been found...
The Jiang family doesn't know when they provoked such a person, and they don't know if the other party will take action against the Jiang family again...
After Chen Rou's death, Jiang Zhen and the rest of the Jiang family have been living in fear.
I'm afraid that the next Jiang Li or Jiang Qian will be them...
This kind of mental torture made everyone in the Jiang family exhausted physically and mentally.
Before one thing was dealt with, another thing was pressing on him, and Jiang Zhen only felt troubled and had a headache.
"Brother."
At this moment, Jiang Ming walked into the lobby and greeted Jiang Zhen.
During this period of time, he had been specifically responsible for recruiting alchemists in the Jiang family to study the Qi family's Nayujing spiritual liquid and the purchased fairy grass elixir.
At the same time, he has been responsible for tracking down the murderer of his son Jiang Gan.
Seeing Jiang Ming come in, Jiang Zhen looked expectant and asked quickly:
"You're here, how's it going?"
"Can you decipher the Qi family's elixir recipe?"
Jiang Ming slowly shook his head and said with great regret:
"no…"
"The fairy grass elixirs purchased by the Qi family are of various types, and they are too weird."
"I have found more than a dozen alchemists to study together, but I still can't figure out the alchemy formula in the hands of the Qi family..."
Hearing this, Jiang Zhen leaned back on the chair in disappointment, stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyebrows.
"Since there is no result, why did you come to me?"
"The Qi family sent someone again..."
"They say they want to buy the fairy grass elixirs from my Jiang family at a price ten times higher than the market price."
Jiang Ming stepped forward, took out the list of medicinal materials listed by the Qi family from his arms and handed it to Jiang Zhen.
Jiang Zhen didn't even look at it. He grabbed the list and tore it into pieces, shouting angrily:
"Let the Qi family members go away!"
"Otherwise, I'll cut off his head and send him back to Qi's home!"
"Even if the Jiang family rots all the medicinal materials in the warehouse, we will never sell them to the Qi family!"
Jiang Ming stood aside and pondered for a moment, then stepped forward to persuade:
"Brother, why don't you raise the price a little more and sell all those medicinal materials to the Qi family?"
"You want me to sell those medicinal materials to the Qi family?"
Jiang Zhen looked at Jiang Ming with an angry look and asked.
Jiang Ming nodded and said seriously:
"Brother, you also know that we are already in debt..."
The Jiang family's main business relies on selling fire lotus liquid at high prices.
Now that the Qi Family Chamber of Commerce controls the lifeblood of the Nanli City Chamber of Commerce, the Jiang family cannot lower the prices of the materials needed for the Fire Lotus Liquid as crazily as before.
The cost of refining Fire Lotus Liquid has greatly increased, and their sales channels are still much fewer.
A few days ago, I also ordered a large amount of Fire Lotus Liquid materials from various other places, and repaid part of the debt every month in the form of credit installments.
A huge amount of spiritual stones must be paid to the Holy Lotus Sect every month...
The Jiang family seems to be very wealthy, but the flow of funds is very huge, and there is not much money left in their hands.
Suppressed by the Qijia Chamber of Commerce, the funds next month are no longer enough to repay the debts left over from the previous month...
If the chamber of commerce cannot pay off its debts on time, its credibility will be affected.
Once your reputation is affected, it will be difficult to cooperate with other chambers of commerce in the future!
Jiang Zhen also understood this, which made him feel more and more headache.
He thought that the Chamber of Commerce would definitely win the Jiang family's competition, so he ordered a large amount of fire lotus liquid materials and did not hesitate to pay in installments on credit.
As long as they win the chamber of commerce competition, the Jiang family will control all the chambers of commerce and shops in Nanli City, and the shortfall in funds they owe can be quickly filled.
But I never expected to lose...
This has resulted in the current embarrassing situation of the Jiang family.
"Hey, tell me your plan."
"Since you asked me to sell those medicinal materials, you must have a plan, right?"
Jiang Zhen sighed softly, looked at Jiang Ming and asked.
His younger brother is quite shrewd.
The Jiang family is what it is today thanks to these two brothers.
It's just that their two sons are too disappointing...
Jiang Ming smiled slightly and expressed his opinion:
"Brother, I have a plan!"
"The medicinal materials purchased by the Qi family are most likely used to refine the healing spirit liquid."
"The Yujing Spiritual Liquid is not a body quenching liquid, so it will basically not affect my Jiang family's business."
"We can take this opportunity to increase the price and sell the medicinal materials to the Qi family, and then step up the process of refining the fire lotus liquid in batches!"
"When the time comes, selling this batch of fire lotus liquid at a high price will be enough to make up for the funding gap of my Jiang family!"
"At that time, Nanli City will still belong to my Jiang family!"
