In fact, Li Yi knew very well that it would be good enough to attract the attention of the actual people in power in Yuanxing City by relying solely on external forces.
He didn't expect this small move to cause any chain reaction.
In Li Yi's opinion, if there are some actions that are not visible on the surface, it means that his first step plan has been successful!
The remaining second step is somewhat passive.
Strictly speaking, in the second stage of Li Yi's plan, nothing should be done.
Just wait and see.
However, as an outsider, Li Yi obviously underestimated the power of doing so.
Perhaps in his opinion, these small merchants and hawkers are indeed not enough to shake the core trading force in this large city-state, which is the Fulai family.
But that doesn't mean it's useless at all.
In addition to the effect he wanted before - attracting the attention of the Yusan family, it has been achieved.
But, that's far from over.
It can only be said that Li Yi still underestimated the Yusan family in Yuanxing City.
They will not easily let go of anything that may shake their rule.
Anyone from the Yusan family would not take it lightly if anything undermined their dominance.
And from the moment Li Yi's first step plan was successfully implemented, the Yusan family, headed by the Fulai family, launched a counterattack.
Therefore, the first ones to be targeted were naturally this group of businessmen from the West District.
Of course, because this is Yuanxing City, the trade capital, any unfair treatment that dares to target trade will not be recognized.
Since this is the rule set by the Yusan family themselves, they will naturally not violate it.
However, there will always be three types of people in this world.
Those are the people who abide by the rules. This is the vast majority, including these businessmen from the West End.
And those who use the rules, this is a small group, generally refers to the small group of people who are skilled in using the rules and can use them to make profits.
Others are the smallest group, the people at the top of the pyramid.
They are the ones who make the rules. These people often stand at the top and look down on the people who live under the rules they set.
They often won't leave the game personally, because this is undoubtedly an unequal treatment for them.
When you touch the rules, it often means that you also lose the power to make rules.
Even the Yusan family will not be an exception to this.
Unfortunately, not everyone knows this implicit rule.
So, George Foley did it anyway.
After that night, George Foley immediately formulated a series of measures to counter the methods of the person behind the scenes.
With the help of his grandfather who was no longer human, George Foley, also known as Little Foley, used the simplest and crudest method to suppress these West End businessmen who, in his opinion, were like ants.
price war.
This is actually within the rules. Therefore, George does not have any psychological burden when using it. What he does is very simple.
Don't you people from the West District just want to drive down the prices and buy cheap goods?
That's easy, I'll just comply with your wishes.
In just a few days, under the powerful financial offensive of the Fulai family, prices in Yuanxing City, which had been stable, began to fluctuate again.
From the most basic price of Xiaomi, to various daily necessities, and then to some small amounts of luxury goods, they have all experienced at least one roller coaster market in a short period of time.
Among them, the one that has been most affected is the price of rice.
In an area like Yuanxing City, the price of rice has not received much attention in the past. This is because everyone knows that the price of rice in this place cannot be maliciously raised, because once the rice price causes panic, this kind of food that is particularly close to the battlefield will City-states will cause a massive exodus of people.
As a trade capital, what is the most important thing?
That is, there are enough people. As long as there are people, trade will not stop, and there will be no recurring price fluctuations.
No businessman who is familiar with the situation in Yuanxing City will violate this point.
But this time, it was completely different.
Because this time the person driving up prices turned out to be one of the owners of Yuanxing City!
The Foleys!
This news, no less than a bombshell, suddenly caused extremely abnormal fluctuations in the originally orderly market prices.
Even the prices of agricultural products, which rarely fluctuated significantly in the past, have also experienced repeated plunges and surges in a short period of time.
We are all smart people, and we can't fail to see that the price manipulator is one of the owners of Yuanxing City, the head of the Fulai family, George Foley.
But it is precisely because of knowing this that panic spreads in an instant.
No one will destroy their own sign, and no one wants to see unstable market conditions on their own territory.
If market openers want to operate in the long term, the most important thing is not how much cash flow they can earn in a short period of time, but to keep the market fluctuations within a tolerable range.
Otherwise, when price fluctuations make most people uneasy and trigger selling, a chain reaction will occur, and other commodities will also experience the same plunge.
Generally speaking, if this time comes, there is only one thing left for the market opener to do.
Bailout!
Only by using large sums of money to continuously take over and stabilize prices can businessmen believe that the market will eventually stabilize.
Only in this way can sellers develop a reluctance to sell, thinking that the goods will generate more value if they remain in their hands, and then develop a buying mentality.
Because if we just blindly rescue the market, it is absolutely impossible to rescue all the sold products.
The reason for doing this is just to tell businessmen the facts.
Buy it quickly. If you don’t buy it, it will be too late to buy it again after the price increases!
Yes, it is a seemingly complicated economic principle, but its actual intention is so simple and unpretentious.
Just want to get the market back on its original track.
Stability is greater than anything else.
This is usually the case.
But what is happening now is completely beyond the knowledge of the businessmen.
Especially those businessmen from the West District. They had been making acquisitions in order to guide the market back to a normal track.
Strictly speaking, they were doing what the market openers were supposed to do in Daiyuan Xingcheng.
If they succeed in the end, they will also get a good price, and once they start normal trade, they will be able to make a lot of profits from it.
This is their ultimate goal.
Of course, this is a strange phenomenon that only occurs when someone knows the truth.
Things went smoothly at first.
In the eyes of these Western District businessmen, it seems that the officials of Yuanxing City have never thought about bailing out the market. Instead, they are letting prices fluctuate and seem to be making a lot of profits through this.
This makes these gentlemen from the West Side think that these bumpkins from the North Side don't know how to do business at all!
They don’t even know how to cope with today’s price market!
too weak!
Yes, this is the first impression of Yuanxing City on these businessmen from the West District.
This also gave these Western District businessmen a very wrong perception.
When it comes to doing business, the people in the North District are really weak.
Let us save this terrible market!
Of course, in return, we will decide the market price of Yuanxing City in the future!
In a shabby bar, several businessmen from the West District were in high spirits, with a hint of drunkenness on their faces. Although it was close to midnight, these people were not drunk at all.
Because they are all excited.
Just earlier today, these businessmen, who had been considered a ragtag group of people in the past, finally felt proud!
While everyone was taking advantage of the market chaos in Yuanxing City to desperately make profits for themselves, these businessmen in the West District, with someone deliberately guiding the organization, successfully guided the price curve to a reasonable level. within the range.
After this, as long as it continues, the commodity market in Yuanxing City will definitely gradually stabilize.
The advantage for them is that from now on, they will have the pricing power in this huge market!
This was completely unimaginable to them in the past!
If it weren't for the existence of this alliance organization!
At this time, several important figures in the Venice Alliance Chamber of Commerce all turned their admiring eyes to a man who was drinking with his head down.
It was precisely because of this man that they finally did this!
