In the next few days, Jia Cong tried his best to sell soap, while Li's Trading Company desperately bought soap. In just a few days, they bought more than 100,000 soaps.
Li Chen said worriedly: "Father, we have already invested 300,000 taels of silver. When will this end if we continue like this?"
Li Qingdao: "I didn't expect that Jia Cong actually had so much inventory. Please bring in another batch of money. I really don't believe it. Our Li family trading firm can't handle a boy from the Jia family. If this is rumored, If you go out, my Li family will lose face."
Li Rui smiled and said: "Father, I think that boy is almost out of stock. He is a bastard of the Jia family, how can he get so much capital? Even his entire Jia family is not as rich as my Li family. As long as we work harder, We can win."
At this time, an accountant came in with a ledger.
"My boss, my young boss, today's accounts are ready."
Li Qing took the account book and looked through it, a smile suddenly appeared on his face.
"The soap I bought today is 10% less than yesterday. It is estimated that the quantity is running out. I have begun to control the quantity of sales. Tell me to continue buying as much as I can."
"Yes, father."
On the second day, the number of purchases was 10% less than the previous day. Seeing this, the father and son became more confident and looked forward to the moment of victory.
······
At Jia Cong's house, Ping'er, Yan Hong, and Zhang Fu also gathered around Jia Cong and reported on the situation every day.
Zhang Fudao: "Third Master, according to your wishes, the quantity will be reduced by 10% every day compared to the previous day. People will buy as much as we sell. Third Master, why should we do this? This will save a lot of money."
Jia Cong smiled and said: "In order to give the other party an illusion, let them think that we are running out of soap, and if we try harder, we will buy it all. Try to catch them as much as possible, and don't let them get off the hook and run away."
Zhang Fu was stunned for a moment, then he came to his senses, gave a thumbs up and praised: "Third Master, your move is so clever. If it were me, I would think the same and do the same."
Jia Cong smiled and said nothing about Zhang Fu's flattery. He was not really a teenager.
"Steward Zhang, please inform the guards of the servants. They have been cheering me up recently and stepped up patrols to prevent the other party from jumping over the wall."
"Don't worry, Third Master, I'll make arrangements right away."
After Zhang Fu finished speaking, he turned and left.
Jia Cong turned to Yan Hong and asked, "Yan Hong, how much inventory do we have and how long can we last?"
Yan Hong smiled, took a ledger and handed it to Jia Cong.
"Third Master, you'd better see for yourself."
Jia Cong took the account book and took a look at it. His eyes immediately straightened. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, seven digits in total. This... this is too much. Bar?
"Yanhong, why are there so many?"
Yan Hong smiled and said: "Third Master, we didn't sell much in the store before, and we never started making it. Ever since the recipe was stolen, I expected that this day would come, so I asked them to make as much as they can. Stored.
Third Master, as long as you are willing, we can continue to sell like this and let go of the production. There is no problem in making 10,000 pieces of soap a day. "
"Okay, that's it, I've got it covered. Yan Hong, you did a good job this time and deserve praise. Go and choose two pieces of jewelry from Sister Ping'er."
Yan Hong was praised and felt happy, with a smile on her face.
"Thank you, Third Master, for the reward."
In the next few days, Jia Cong kept controlling the amount of soap and slowly reduced it.

Rongguo Mansion, Lixiang Garden.
The Xue family, mother and son, are discussing cooperation with Jia Cong.
"Sister, you have been visiting Brother Cong frequently these days. You should have learned a lot from him. Please tell us quickly."
Xue Baochai nodded and said: "Brother Cong has been directing this price war remotely these days. He didn't hide it from me even when I went there. He had already determined that it was the Li Family Trading Company who was buying his soap in large quantities.
Brother Cong still looks confident, saying that he wants to support the Li family to death. Depending on the situation, there should be a lot of inventory. I don't know the specific quantity. His cost should be lower than the current price. Brother, how is your inquiry going? "
Xue Pan said: "In the past few days, I have spent money to bribe several people from Li's Trading Company and a shopkeeper. According to them, Li's Trading Company has bought nearly 300,000 pieces of soap during this period, and the Li's also have some I can’t hold on anymore, so I plan to ship a batch to other places to sell them.”
Xue Baochai said in surprise: "So much? Doesn't Brother Cong have nearly one million taels of silver in his hands? How is this possible?"
Xue Pan said with a proud look on his face: "Sister, you really can't believe it. Brother Cong is not an ordinary person. I have found out clearly during this period. Have you heard about the Lai family? That Aunt Lai is the old lady's roommate. .
After offending Brother Cong, he instigated the eldest master and ransacked the Lai family's house. His current house belonged to the Lai family. His aunt was jealous of his house and wanted to take it back. Brother Cong immediately made a big counterattack and let his aunt Lost the right to be the head of the family.
This Li Rui sent the Qinglang Gang to intercept Brother Cong. Nearly thirty people were killed by the Cong Brothers. That night, he led his men to destroy the Qinglang Gang and ransacked his home. It was really enjoyable. It's a pity that I didn't rush. superior. Sister, what else is impossible for people like Brother Cong? "
Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai couldn't help but widen their eyes after hearing this. They had heard one or two sentences before and didn't care about it. It was really surprising to hear what Xue Pan said.
Aunt Xue sighed: "No wonder the old lady said that day that Brother Cong was too capable of tossing. This is really not an ordinary tormentor. Such a small child dares to kill people. He is too courageous. He is worthy of being the queen of the generals."
Xue Baochai nodded and said: "I have been in contact with him during this period and found that Brother Cong is indeed very powerful. The formula stolen by the Li family was deliberately stolen by Brother Cong. It can be said that this is a game made by Brother Cong, a plan aimed at The Li family’s situation.”
"Sister, I won't care about their family's affairs. I want our cooperation with the Cong brothers to be finalized as soon as possible. Let's take the first step and transport the soap to other cities for sale. What do you think, sister?"
Xue Baochai said: "What my brother said is true. I also agree to conclude the negotiation as soon as possible. I have almost negotiated the price with Brother Cong. We just need to sit down and settle the matter."
Xue Pan said happily: "That's great, I'll call Brother Cong over now, and we'll settle the matter in person."
Soon, Jia Cong was pulled over by Xue Pan, and the cooperation was settled in front of Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai.
Jia Cong sold each piece of soap to the Xue family for 20 taels of silver. The Xue family shipped it to other places and sold each piece of soap for 3 taels. After selling three soaps, they could earn nearly one tael of silver. The profit was already huge.
After the two parties reached an agreement, everyone was happy. The Xue family ordered 100,000 pieces of soap at one time. If they sold them all, they would earn 30,000 taels of silver.
After being enthusiastically persuaded by the Xue family, I had a meal with them and then returned to my home.
