Huo Yin wholeheartedly agreed: "Yes, otherwise, the boss wouldn't even want the right to set prices. And yet he still gives us so much."
The profits on the black market are very high, and Gu Yunyang even gave Huo Yin a percentage of the profits.
Huo Yin wasn't one to hoard profits, so he distributed most of them among his associates.
If it weren't for the monkeys stopping him, Huo Yin intended to split it equally.
Although Huo Yin took the most after being stopped, he still shared most of it.
Those who followed Huo Yin all received a considerable share.
At least, the family is now living a comfortable life, with enough to eat and wear.
Now every household has surplus grain and can even save money.
They didn't know the identity of the boss behind the scenes, but they all hoped that he would continue to do well.
Huo Yin looked at the monkey: "So what do you think we should do about that black market? They're waging a price war against us now, should we lower our prices?"
After thinking for a moment, the monkey rejected Huo Yin's idea: "Let's not. They're just playing around, they won't lose much. If we lower our prices too, we'll suffer a huge loss."
The monkey raised its head, its eyes gleaming with wisdom: "Besides, boss, think about it. If we lower our prices, won't the vendors selling things in our black market also have to lower their prices? Then they won't be able to make a living and will have to leave us."
It is small in size and easy to turn around.
Their black market is now the largest in the White Stone Commune; to them, the other party is just a small fry.
That's not enough to make them do that.
The monkey said, "Then let's not lower the price and let them do as they please."
"What if we lose our customers?"
The monkey shook its head: "Don't worry, our goods are the most complete and of the best quality. The rice they brought out was yellowish and had some stones in it. It's nothing like our rice, which is white and long, and it's very fragrant and sticky when cooked. We eat this kind of rice ourselves now, so we have the most say in this."
Of the supplies Gu Yunyang gave, Huo Yin and the others kept some and distributed a little to each of them.
The rice and wheat flour are much better than what's available in the market.
They said privately that when they were in the army, the special supplies provided by their superiors were probably not this good.
Huo Yin nodded: "Relatively speaking, our price is already very low. It's the same price as their rice of slightly lower quality, which is equivalent to us already lowering the price."
The monkey had a plan: "If a customer asks, we'll use this as an excuse. Besides, even if they manage to attract customers, it's only temporary. They can't sustain such low prices indefinitely, let alone how much stock they have.
"At that point, either prices will rise, or we'll have to mix stones into the rice. People who buy things aren't fools; those people will come back sooner or later."
Those who run black markets aren't stupid, and they don't do charity.
The purpose of running a black market is to make money.
Therefore, they can lower prices when customer traffic is low.
Once customer traffic increases, the only way for them to make money is to raise prices.
Huo Yin laughed heartily and clapped his hands, saying, "You're right. We just need to maintain the status quo. Besides, our black market doesn't have any other expenses besides our brothers. The boss has thought of everything for us, so what's there to be afraid of?"
After a pause, Huo Yin's smile faded, and he said worriedly, "It's just that if our income is low, then we'll give them less."
The monkey glared at Huo Yin and said, "Boss, what are you saying?"
If it weren't for you getting us to open this black market, we'd still be starving and unable to support our families.
Don't say this is only temporary. Even if this black market can't be opened in the future, we won't complain.
Don't worry, I'll tell everyone about this. Anyone who complains is heartless.
Huo Yin could only say, "These are all temporary, you don't need to worry. Let's go, the new goods the master gave us have arrived at courtyard number three, let's go take a look first. We'll organize everyone to move them back tonight."
The two went out and headed straight for courtyard number three.
Gu Yunyang had already arrived at another courtyard. He opened the door and saw several boxes.
He stepped forward, scanned the area with his spatial abilities, and discovered that there were quite a few good items.
