It's over? What's over? How is it over?
Ning Ze looked at the people in front of him in confusion, thinking to himself, I have already helped you get the contract back, shouldn't you praise me a lot now?
Seeing the puzzled look on Ning Ze's face, the old servant beside him explained with great sorrow: "Master, just now, the price of icing sugar has dropped."
"It's dropped? How much? It won't drop back to the previous price, will it? Then we'll lose a lot of money!"
When Ning Ze heard that the price of frosting had dropped, he became a little panicked.
You can tell from the expressions on these people's faces that if the price drops too much, they will probably suffer huge losses!
However, Ning Ze was mentally prepared. When Zhao Gongming left before, he had given him a reminder.
Besides, these people had agreed to give him some frosting, so he was the one who had to pay the least among them.
However, Ning Ze soon couldn't remain calm anymore, because he heard a very outrageous price from the old servant!
"10%! It's not a 10% reduction, but the current price is only 10% of the original price of the frosting!"
“One…one percent?!”
When Ning Ze heard the price, he felt like he was seeing stars!
No wonder these people lost their composure, no wonder they acted as if the sky was falling.
The price of frosting has dropped to 10% of its previous price. Isn’t this the end of the world?
"How could this happen! Why did it turn out like this!?"
Ning Ze climbed up from the bed and grabbed the old servant's hand and asked him inappropriately.
The old servant nodded in agreement for a long time but could not explain the reason.
At this time, someone nearby explained, "It's the Chinese Academy of Sciences. They've released news that they've optimized the frosting process and will be able to produce it in large quantities. They've brought the price down!"
"That's impossible!"
Ning Ze's eyes were red. He couldn't believe that there was such a technology in the world that could reduce the price of frosting to only one tenth of what it was before.
All of the people present here represent the highest level of sugar production in Da Qi. Who among them dares to say that he can create a technology that can reduce the price of frosting tenfold?
If one can really do this, then this person is not a human being, but a legendary god!
For those who have not been exposed to modern science and modern industry, modern production technology and efficiency are indeed like god-like existence.
Industrial civilization is a massacre to agricultural civilization, and the gun barrel mentioned above has already illustrated this point well.
"But the news did come from the Chinese Academy of Sciences. That's the Chinese Academy of Sciences. They shouldn't lie, right?" Someone said this with a desperate look on their face. The Chinese Academy of Sciences has indeed grown to this point.
But Ning Ze still shook his head fiercely and said, "Impossible, this is absolutely impossible. This is obviously unreasonable. We all do this. Do you believe this kind of thing?"
The businessmen kept shaking their heads, obviously they didn't believe it either.
"It's a conspiracy! It must be a conspiracy! They want to use this information to drive down the price of frosting and then reap the benefits from us! As long as we hold on to it and don't release it, they won't be able to do anything to us. By then, the price of frosting will go up!"
"Everyone, as long as we don't exchange the payment for the goods, we won't lose money even if the price of the frosting drops ridiculously. You understand what I mean, right?"
"Everyone must unite at this time. For our common good, we must persevere and not listen to the rumors spread by those outsiders!"
Ning Ze is very clear that business is often about taking advantage of information asymmetry and confidence in the market.
As long as you have confidence, things will definitely go up.
This principle will remain as true even in later generations. It is true for commodities and even more so for the stock market.
Fuck, that's getting off topic...
"In short, everyone must hold on. I suggest that starting today, we establish a price alliance so that we can all advance and retreat together!"
"Yes, yes, what Mr. Ning said makes a lot of sense. We must advance and retreat together! I will join this alliance! Oh, and I have something to do at home, so I'll leave first."
"I'm joining this alliance too. Let's support each other. I have something else to do, so goodbye!"
"Let's put it this way. We're all allies from now on. Seeing how loving everyone is, I feel relieved. I'm leaving too!"
Seeing that most people had left, the old servant of the Ning family asked anxiously, "Young Master, do you really trust these people?"
Ning Ze smiled bitterly and said, "So what if they don't believe me? I don't expect them to accomplish anything. As long as they don't hold me back, that's all that matters. I'll go to the Zhao family right away and send them a visiting card. I want to have a good chat with them. Whether we can stabilize the frosting market depends on our two families!"
Soon the visiting card was delivered to the Zhao family, but the Zhao family did not agree to the Ning family's visit request. The reason they gave was also very ridiculous. It was said that there was an ant raised in the house and the old man of the Zhao family was worried about it.
After receiving this answer, Ning Ze was almost so angry that the Three Corpse Gods jumped into a rage.
At this time, the old man of the Zhao family was respectfully accompanying Lu Chen, nodding and bowing like a dog.
Lu Chen walked through the Chinese Academy of Sciences and pointed to the complete set of production equipment in front of him. "See? This is the brand new sugar-making process we developed. Using this process, we can not only increase production efficiency fivefold, but also reduce costs threefold."
"Your Zhao family is an expert in sugar production, so you should be able to understand some of the steps involved. We've also had your people come here to familiarize themselves with the entire process. Now it's your turn to express your opinion."
"The Imperial Master wants to use the small ones, which means he thinks highly of us. Naturally, we will do our utmost to help. As long as the Imperial Master gives the order, we will definitely complete the task! As for this set of equipment, we will buy it, including the entire sugar-making process. No matter how much it costs, we will buy it!"
Lu Chen turned around and looked at Mr. Zhao in front of him, patted his shoulder with satisfaction and said, "I like dealing with smart people, and even more so with people who are knowledgeable and interesting. You are a good person, so I will cooperate with you and the Zhao family on this deal."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Zhao was overjoyed, even though the emergence of the new technology would cause the price of frosting to drop.
But as long as they master the latest technology, their Zhao family will still be the overlord of the sugar industry.
He could even take this opportunity to get rid of some of his colleagues whom he disliked before.
From then on, the entire sugar-making industry belonged to the Zhao family!
Compared to this, spending some money now is nothing. Not everyone is qualified to spend this amount of money.
If you don’t believe me, just look at the Ning family. Aren’t they destined to be slaughtered?
The next day, a large amount of white sugar appeared on the market, and the entire Da Qi sugar industry suffered its first wave of fatal blow!
