Duan Jinjiang from the Vulture Chamber of Commerce is getting more and more worried now.
Today is the monthly Chamber of Commerce elders meeting. In addition to the ten expelled elders, there are a total of nine elders.
Everyone was sitting in the meeting, and the atmosphere was a bit depressing.
The second elder is reporting on the Chamber of Commerce's performance in the past month.
"We have basically completely lost the supply of goods in Yang Xiao's five cities. Among the more than two hundred cities in Central Continent, the loss of Yang Xiao's five cities will not have a big impact on us.
However, the problem now is that Yang Xiao's five cities have become commodity wholesale distribution centers. Their commodity prices are about half lower than ours. More than 20 cities nearby them have begun to wholesale commodities from them, making us now Sales suddenly dropped by about 10%.
If things continue like this, as Yang Xiao and the others become more and more famous and more and more people know about them, I am afraid that more cities will go to Yang Xiao to purchase goods, which will have a huge impact on us. "
Duan Jinjiang frowned, with a dark expression on his face, and slapped the table heavily.
"This Yang Xiao must be eliminated. It is better to get rid of him early than to get rid of him all the time."
"Yes, I think Yang Xiao has a lot of ambitions. He has been reclaiming wasteland to grow food recently. He has opened up tens of thousands of acres of fields in five cities and planted various food crops.
Intelligence officers at the front came with news that Yang Xiao and their first batch of grain had been harvested. If this continues, it is estimated that in about two or three years, not only will their grain be self-sufficient, but they may also have to sell it to other city residents. In this way , our most important grain trade may be cut off by him. "
"If this continues, won't our Vulture Chamber of Commerce be disbanded?"
"Recently, vendors in many cities have given us feedback, saying that the products in the City of Hope are much cheaper than ours. If we don't lower the prices, they will stop buying from us and go to the City of Hope instead."
"Yeah, Yang Xiao is just a troublemaker. His current ability can meet the trade needs of residents in more than a dozen cities at most.
However, the price of his products has dropped too much. If we don't lower the price, customers will always compare Yang Xiao's products and ask us to lower the price, and we can't resist it. "
"I heard that Yang Xiao has now formed a regular caravan. The captain of the caravan is Ma Kui, our tenth elder. It was Yang Xiao who rescued Ma Kui's family."
"I think Yang Xiao has already planned this."
"What does he want to do? What good will this do to him?"
"The benefits are obvious. Yang Xiao not only gained fame, but more importantly, a large number of people began to migrate to his territory. During this period, Yang Xiao increased by about one million people. It was very scary.
In addition, he has snatched a part of the market from our business. Although the price is only half of ours, it is still profitable, and he does not have to pay protection fees to the three major demon city owners in Middle Continent. "
...
Several elders discussed among themselves, and the entire meeting basically revolved around Yang Xiao.
Second Elder Ma Xiaotian said:
"Everyone, the current situation is that Yang Xiao's actions have greatly damaged our Vulture Chamber of Commerce. If we don't get rid of Yang Xiao, our Chamber of Commerce will not be able to live in peace, or even survive."
The second elder said, turning to look at the eldest elder Duan Jinjiang beside him.
"President, what do you think?"
Duan Jinjiang gritted his teeth and said:
"I wish I could kill Yang Xiao right now, but even the big men on the dark web don't dare to assassinate Yang Xiao. What should we do?"
"If it really doesn't work, I think the only option is to ask the Decepticons."
The fifth elder was impatient and said eagerly.
There was silence in the conference room, everyone looked at Duan Jinjiang.
Duan Jinjiang thought for a moment and sighed,
"If there is really no other way, the only choice is to beg the Decepticon. Alas, knowing that he will extort a large sum of money from him, I can only bite the bullet and beg him.
Sigh, I'm just confused. If Yang Xiao does this, will it have no impact on the Decepticon city? Why don't the Decepticons hate Yang Xiao and attack Yang Xiao directly?
This is not in line with the character of the Decepticons all along! "
The third elder thought for a while and said:
"If we guessed correctly, the reason why the Decepticons did not take the initiative to attack Yang Xiao was because they were waiting for us to bring a large sum of money to beg him.
The dozens of cities under his control are relatively far away from Yang Xiao's territory, and the temporary impact is not great, so he can tolerate it for the time being. "
Duan Jinjiang couldn't help but cursed after hearing this,
"This devil, the old fox, is so abominable. The Vulture Chamber of Commerce pays him 200 million in protection fees every year. We are now encountering difficulties, and he actually stands idly by.
No, I'll go find him tomorrow. I want to ask him why he doesn't protect us. Are we handing over 200 million wafers every year in vain? "
...
The next day, Duan Jinjiang took the second elder Ma Xiaotian and others to Tianhu City.
The first person to receive Duan Jinjiang was Yuri, the Decepticon's military advisor.
"Hey, President Duan, long time no see. What kind of wind brings you here?"
You laughed and said, but you were very surprised in your heart. The person who sent the money came to your door. It seems that the city lord Decepticon guessed it very accurately. As expected, he is one of the three demonic city lords in the Central Continent. He is awesome. .
"Haha, Mr. You, things have been going well lately. I haven't seen you for a while. Brother, I miss you so much. I'll treat you to dinner tonight. I won't come home until you're drunk."
"Okay, President Duan invites me, and I will accompany him to the end."
"Well, where is the city lord?"
"You mean City Lord? He is practicing in the backyard. Is there anything going on with President Duan?"
Yuri deliberately pretended not to know anything and waited for Duan Jinjiang to bring it up.
Duan Jinjiang had no choice but to smile bitterly and said:
"Master You, you are enjoying your life here peacefully, but we are in dire straits. Our Vulture Chamber of Commerce is about to go bankrupt. Alas, brother, I need the City Lord to save me!"
Yuri was deliberately shocked and said:
"President Duan, what happened? You, the Vulture Chamber of Commerce, have a great business. Who is looking for death and dares to offend you?"
"Oh, Master You, don't mention it. Our Vulture Chamber of Commerce has had bad luck one after another recently.
A man named Yang Xiao killed the city lord of Death City, and then successively controlled the surrounding Titan City, Firebird City, Shuize City and Lengfen Valley.
This person doesn’t know what’s wrong with him. He breaks the previous rules and forms his own caravan to traffic goods back from outside.”
"Ah, so the Vulture Chamber of Commerce has lost business in five small cities?
This is not a big deal, right? There are more than two hundred cities in Central Continent. Even if you lose five small cities, it is a trivial matter for you. Why are you going bankrupt?
President Duan is also very good at joking, right? "
"Well, if Yang Xiao only sells goods to satisfy the residents of his city, that's it. However, he now supplies a large amount of various goods to the outside world, and the price is only half of ours.
Look, if this continues, how will our business continue?
Sir You, I give the city lord a protection fee of 200 million wafers every year. You must uphold justice for our Vulture Chamber of Commerce in this matter! "
Yuri: "..."
Damn it, Duan Jinjiang is so cunning. He actually put this responsibility on us?
