Chapter 203 Cunning Rabbit

The equipment refining business started off smoothly, but problems gradually arose because Mo Hua heard Elder Yu cursing again.

Mo Hua went to the equipment refining business to check the formation, and then saw Elder Yu chatting with Yu Chengyi.

As they chatted, Elder Yu cursed Qian Hong again.

He said something like "blood-sucking roundworm", "old turtle with a turtle shell", "sinister beast" and so on.

He cursed in various ways.

As Elder Yu cursed, he found Mo Hua eavesdropping on him. He was listening and taking notes, looking very interested.

He was muttering in his mouth, "How can you curse like this?", "Why didn't I think of that?" and so on.

Elder Yu coughed, stopped, and then said to Mo Hua:

"You didn't hear anything."

"Yeah." Mo Hua nodded, "I didn't hear anything!"

Elder Yu's anger gradually subsided, and he found a chair and sat down steadily.

Mo Hua poured a cup of tea, handed it to Elder Yu, and asked, "Is the Qian family making trouble again?"

Elder Yu was already used to chatting with Mo Hua, and now he didn't avoid Mo Hua when talking to her, except for swearing, of course.

Elder Yu drank the tea poured by Mo Hua, breathed a sigh of relief, and nodded, "We can't sell our spiritual weapons anymore."

"No one wants them?"

"Of course there are cultivators who want them, after all, spiritual weapons such as rattan armor and machetes are used anyway, but I found a few merchants and some demon hunters from other immortal cities, and they all thought the price was too high."

Mo Hua was a little confused, "Isn't the price we offer quite cheap?"

Because the weapon refining business is large and the output is high, the price of spiritual weapons is one or two spirit stones lower than the market price.

"It's the Qian family. The price they offered is too low."

"Is the Qian family trying to lower the price?"

"Yes." Elder Yu got angry again when he mentioned it. "The Qian family's weapon refinery treats cultivators like animals. They work overtime and stockpile a batch of spiritual weapons in advance, waiting for us to start working. They sell them at a low price, hoping to suppress us."

"Qian Hong, that turtle son of a turtle..."

Elder Yu was halfway through cursing, glanced at Mo Hua, and silently swallowed the curse again.

Mo Hua frowned, but after thinking about it, he didn't have any good solution. He looked up and saw that although Elder Yu was angry, he didn't look too worried, so he asked:

"Elder, do you have a solution?"

Elder Yu raised his eyebrows, "See?"

Mo Hua said: "If you don't have a solution, you will be anxious and your curses will be more unpleasant than now."

Compared with before, Elder Yu's curses now are considered to be relatively "mild".

Elder Yu looked a little embarrassed, thinking that he should curse less next time, or at least avoid Mo Hua when cursing.

Mo Hua was too young to learn from him, and he was full of curses...

Elder Yu coughed, covered up his embarrassment, and said, "I do have a solution."

Mo Hua poured Elder Yu another cup of tea, "Please tell me about it."

Mo Hua looked curious.

Elder Yu thought about it, and felt that this kind of thing could be taught, so he patiently said, "I told those merchants that no matter what price the Qian family gave them, we would be cheaper than the Qian family... five cents of broken spirit stones."

"Five cents..."

As expected of Elder Yu, he lowered the price by five cents, which was quite cost-effective...

Mo Hua thought.

"Five cents is not bad." Elder Yu snorted, "With so many spiritual tools, five cents of spirit stones are not too little."

"What happens after that?" Mo Hua asked.

"As long as we can sell it and collect the spiritual stones, the Qian family will not be able to compete with us in the future." Elder Yu said confidently.

"Why can't the Qian family compete with us?" Mo Hua was a little confused.

Elder Yu glanced at Mo Hua, sighed, and said helplessly: "Because of the formation you drew."

"The Qian family's matters about the refining furnace are strictly confidential. I can't find out, but I can see the spiritual tools they refine..."

"The quality of the Qian family's spiritual tools is very good, but it is still a little worse than ours. In addition to the superb craftsmanship of Master Chen and his team, there is another reason, that is, the Qian family's refining furnace is definitely not as good as ours..."

"Their refining furnace is first-grade, and ours is also first-grade. If there is any difference, it is the formation inside."

Elder Yu drank a cup of tea and said: "I guess they should also have a first-grade molten fire formation in their refining furnace. These refining furnaces are not much different from our small refining furnaces, but compared to our large refining furnace, they are far inferior."

Mo Hua suddenly realized.

The large refining furnace has a first-grade fire-melting and soul-controlling formation, which is more effective than ordinary first-grade formations.

"Will the Qian family know about the large refining furnace?" Mo Hua asked.

"The refining furnace is confidential. I can't find out about the Qian family, and we naturally can't let the Qian family know about ours." Elder Yu said.

"The Qian family will know sooner or later."

"It's fine as long as they don't know now. It will be too late if they know later."

"Is there any particularity in this?"

Elder Yu patiently explained, "Price reduction is a losing business and cannot last long. The Qian family reduced the price because they relied on their good refining furnace and high output of the refining business. They wanted to achieve their goal in one fell swoop. They lost some money at the beginning and killed us directly. But what they didn't know was that our refining furnace was better and the output was higher."

"After a long time, we turned around and refined more and more spiritual tools. If they continue to reduce the price, it would be like cutting their own flesh and doing a losing business."

Elder Yu was a little gloating.

"Then as long as we can survive the beginning, will we not be afraid of the Qian family?" Mo Hua asked.

"That's right!" Elder Yu raised his eyebrows and said proudly, "By then, our refining business will be bigger than theirs, the refining furnace will be better than theirs, there will be more refiners than them, and the spiritual tools we refine will be more and better quality than theirs. The Qian family will not be a threat."

Mo Hua nodded, vaguely understanding something, but felt that there were still some loopholes. Even if things really developed in this way, the two sides were just competing with each other, and they had some advantages.

This wouldn't make Elder Yu so proud.

Mo Hua looked at Elder Yu suspiciously, "Elder, do you have any other ideas?"

Elder Yu paused, looked at Mo Hua, and said helplessly: "Why are you like a little fox?"

Mo Hua's eyes lit up, waiting for Elder Yu to continue.

"There is another trick, which is to 'cut off the firewood from under the cauldron'."

"Cut off the firewood from under the cauldron?"

Elder Yu said: "The Qian family's weapon refinery is rushing to work, and the weapon refiners under them must be working day and night. Their own weapon refiners are okay, but the hired weapon refiners must be resentful, all for a living, who is willing to really work like a slave..."

"I have someone secretly win them over, give them more spirit stones, and they don't have to refine weapons day and night. After a while, these weapon refiners will come to refine weapons for us."

"And I We have also notified all the monster hunters that the materials obtained from monster hunting are not allowed to be sold to the Qian family. We will purchase them ourselves. "

"I have also notified all the markets opened by independent cultivators. For the time being, they are not allowed to do business with the Qian family. If the Qian family causes trouble for them, they can come to me and I will deal with it."

Elder Yu showed a hint of teasing in his eyes, "In the future, if the Qian family wants to refine weapons, they will lack both materials and refiners. This is called cutting off the firewood from under the cauldron."

On the surface, they are undercutting the Qian family on price, but secretly poaching their refiners and cutting off their source of materials.

Mo Hua sighed, "Elder Yu, you are so insidious!"
