Showa Street, Yulin Street, Fenghua Street.
These three streets are where the Su Family Chamber of Commerce is mainly concentrated.
When the Su family members first arrived and were about to start business, they discovered that there were many unfamiliar shops on the street. At first they didn't pay much attention to it, but after a while they discovered something unusual.
These shops sell similar things to them.
But the only difference is the price. Their prices are about 20% cheaper than those of the Su family shop.
The items sold in the Su family shop are not of high quality and are basically for ordinary cultivators to use. For this kind of people, of course they would save as much as possible.
The price was 20% cheaper, which immediately attracted countless people, including the former customers of the Su family shop.
"Sir, I've checked it out."
Inside the Su family shop, a middle-aged man with a gloomy face and murderous eyes said, "Tell me, who dares to go against my Su family?"
The servant who reported the incident had an unpleasant expression on his face, yet was also filled with fear. "The four major families are behind those shops."
The steward's expression suddenly changed: "Are you sure that the four major families are involved?"
"I'm pretty sure there are close to sixty new shops, most of which belong to the Wang family. The He family, with the least number of shops, has opened seven."
After listening to the servant's report, the steward's face changed again.
The four major families joined forces to target the Su family. This intention was too obvious.
Su Yu stood up and warned, "Don't bother them."
After saying that, he left the shop and headed towards the Su family. The matter was of great importance, and he had to report it to the family immediately.
......
The Su family meeting hall.
Nearly thirty people were sitting there, all of whom were the ones who held real power in the Su family. In addition to several elders, there were also many side branches among them.
Su Qingtian said solemnly, "I won't waste any more words. Su Yu sent me news that the four major families have joined forces to open shops to compete with my Su family for business. They sell the same things but at prices nearly 20% lower."
What!
Many people present were shocked. This sentence contained too much information.
First, the four major families have joined forces. Does this mean that they have all lined up?
Su He frowned and said, "Our business is the key to maintaining the family's operations. The four major families' actions are like cutting off our arms."
Without the income from the shop, the Su family would not be able to support this family of thousands of people.
Even if Su Chen gave them 3 billion spirit stones, it would not be a long-term solution. Their family would not only exist for a few decades.
There was no noise or whispering in the hall. Everyone had a serious look on their faces, as if they were deep in thought.
The parliament is of course to discuss solutions, and there is naturally no need for nonsense if there is no decision.
Suddenly, a burly middle-aged man stood up. He was Su Zhuang from the side branch.
"There is one more thing I need to report to the Patriarch."
Su Qingtian looked up: "Speak."
Su Zhuang said with a worried look on his face, "I just received the news this morning, but I haven't had time to report it yet."
"Several Nascent Soul mercenary groups that previously cooperated with my Su family have chosen to terminate their cooperation and will no longer provide resources to my Su family. After I inquired, they said that the Wang family coerced and bribed them, offering them a high price to stop cooperating with my Su family."
When Su Qingtian heard this, a terrifying murderous look suddenly flashed in his eyes.
The Wang family is going too far!
No, now it’s not just the Wang family, it should be said that there are four major families.
The resources sold by the major families in the city are, in small part, rare treasures that the families have gone out to find, but most of them are from cooperation with those mercenary groups.
The mercenary group goes to search for rare treasures, and then they are responsible for selling them.
The mercenary group's refusal to cooperate with them means that they basically cannot open their shop.
Su Yu said with some worry, "My Su family's foundation is still shallow, and our shop relies on small profits but quick turnover. If we reduce the price by 20%, not only will we not make any spirit stones, we will even lose money. The Su family is already in great difficulty, so what should we do?"
Many people in the Su family looked worried, but Su Qingtian and the others were fine.
Although not being able to earn spirit stones does have a huge impact, at least we still have 3 billion spirit stones on hand, which can sustain operations for a long time. As long as we can find a solution during this period, everything will be fine.
Su Yunqian thought for a long time before speaking: "In a price war, our Su family will definitely not be able to compete with the four major families. It is better to temporarily withdraw, reduce investment in shops, and invest manpower in other more profitable areas."
"For example, forming a mercenary group and searching for natural treasures, or hunting monsters in the Haoyue Forest."
Although this method is a bad idea, it is one of the few ways out for the Su family.
"Greetings to the Young Clan Leader!"
A respectful voice suddenly sounded outside the hall.
Immediately afterwards, Su Chen walked into the hall.
Su Yunqian immediately smiled and said, "Come, Chen'er, sit next to me."
Everyone was shocked when they saw this scene. Su Yunqian was the great elder, and letting Su Chen sit next to him had an obvious meaning.
Of course, Su Chen is very powerful now, and is indeed qualified to become a senior member of the Su family.
Su Chen was not polite either. He sat down next to Su Yunqian. He looked around and said directly:
"Actually, there's no need to go through so much trouble. The four major families like to do these little tricks, so just let them do it on their own and ignore them."
"The purpose of opening a shop is to maintain the family's operation, but our Su family is not short of resources."
Hearing this, everyone in the hall was stunned.
Many people secretly shook their heads. After all, the young patriarch was still too young and didn't quite understand the current situation of the Su family. Their family was almost empty, so how could they say they had no shortage of resources?
Only the top leaders knew that Su Chen had given 3 billion spirit stones, and no one else knew about it.
After all, three billion spirit stones are too many. If too many people know about it and spread it out, there might be powerful people coveting it.
They still understand the simple truth that a man is innocent unless he is in possession of a treasure.
Su Qingtian knew that his son was not that stupid, so he couldn't help but ask, "Chen'er, do you have any ideas?"
Su Chen smiled faintly, then handed Su Qingtian a space ring and said in a voice transmission:
"Dad, here are first-grade Soul Gathering Pills, a total of 500,000, and second-grade Yuan Huan Dan, a total of 130,000."
"This is what I specifically asked Master for. You can use it with confidence. It will definitely be enough to keep the family running."
What!
Su Qingtian stood up suddenly, his eyes full of horror.
Five hundred thousand Spirit Gathering Pills and one hundred and thirty thousand Yuan Returning Pills!
Are you serious?
The entire Mingyue City has a reserve of only 100,000 to 200,000 Soul Gathering Pills, and Yuan Huan Dan is even rarer, so it is considered good to have a reserve of 10,000.
Su Yunqian and several elders were also shocked. This expression was too familiar. When Su Chen gave Su Qingtian 3 billion spirit stones before, Su Qingtian also looked like this.
Could it be that...
Su Qingtian took the space ring with trembling hands, then probed his spiritual sense into it. What caught his eyes was a mountain of porcelain bottles, each of which contained five round pills.
It’s true!
