In fact, the bulk of the goods had already been ordered. Right now, it was mostly small vendors who came to collect the small quantities of goods that Sun Jinggang and his group had acquired through small-scale transactions.

Upon seeing Sheng Xiping return, Sun Jinggang abandoned the mess in front of him and pulled Sheng Xiping aside.

"President Sheng, there are troublemakers on the island today. A group of people brought a lot of things to exchange. Things that we used to exchange for one bottle of wine, they are exchanging for two or even more bottles."

I quietly moved closer to listen. These people spoke with similar accents to General Manager Wu; they were quite arrogant. Apparently, they'd brought in a lot of goods and were looking for big clients.

After Sun Jinggang said that, Sheng Xiping probably guessed that this was the group of people who had sent the message from the hotel earlier.

"It's alright, they're just trying to wage a price war. We'll see how things go tomorrow. If it doesn't work out, we'll adjust the exchange rate upwards as well."

At most, we'll just earn a little less money. We've already laid the foundation, so earning less isn't a problem.

They're new here, they have to start everything from scratch. I don't believe they can keep playing the price war game forever.

Price wars are the lowest-level tactic; they can easily lead to mutual destruction.

Tengyue has a strong foundation; they earned tens of millions last year, so they can afford to engage in price wars.

I wonder if our opponents also have such a strong foundation?

Sheng Xiping had long anticipated that the longer the border trade remained open, the more merchants would be attracted, and the lower the profits would become.

Last year, when border trade had just begun, everything was chaotic and disorderly, which is why there were such exorbitant profits.

It's only gradually returning to normal now, and profits will gradually decrease, but of course, compared to other industries, profits are still very high.

Hearing this, Sun Jinggang felt reassured. "Okay, I'll follow President Sheng's arrangements."

After saying that, Sun Jinggang went back to work, and Sheng Xiping went back to his room to rest.

After the remaining goods outside were dealt with, everyone returned inside and sat down. Wang Dongcheng and the others checked the accounts and calculated the profits for the day.

"President Sheng, President Wu, today we are exchanging large quantities of goods, including 1,200 tons of fertilizer, 500 tons of stainless steel and steel plates, 400 tons of special steel, and 400 cubic meters of timber."

The fertilizer was monopolized by a few large farms, and the ordinary steel was divided up by a few middlemen.

As per General Manager Sheng's instructions, the timber will remain and be sent back to the processing plant later. The special steel is currently still at the dock, awaiting inspection by experts.

Wang Dongcheng read the data in his hand to Sheng Xiping one by one.

"After deducting the costs of timber and special steel, as well as various other expenses, our total profit today is 3.32 million."

In addition, profits from sporadic trade on the island amounted to 50,300.
