Chapter 124 The Severely Damaged Tianjiao Gang
The results of this road verification are gratifying.
Although he used a Foundation Establishment Pill worth tens of thousands of spirit stones, he still made some progress.
Ye Buwen walked out of the gate of the cave and came to the crowded street to get some fresh air.
After staying in a dark little room for fifteen days, you still need to come out and relax to ensure your mental health.
Walking on the street, Ye Buwen suddenly found that many shops were empty, but some shops were extremely popular.
They were obviously running the same kind of business, but there was such a big gap, which made Ye Buwen feel something was wrong.
While walking, Ye Buwen saw a familiar person - Sun Mingyun.
At this time, his eyes were tired and his temperament was decadent.
Ye Buwen saw him, and he also saw Ye Buwen.
Sun Mingyun walked over with a forced smile.
"Boss Ye, why are you free to come here today? Do you want to see our jokes?"
Ye Buwen's expression was calm: "It's true that I have time to hang out, but I'm not here to watch a joke. If you are willing to tell me the joke in detail, maybe I will laugh."
Sun Mingyun looked at Ye Buwen with no gloating expression at all, as if he didn't know anything.
I guess I really just came here for a stroll, not to watch his jokes.
"You really don't know what happened recently?"
"I don't know, but if you'd like to tell me what the big deal happened, I'd be happy to hear it."
Ye Buwen said while observing the situation on the street.
Sun Mingyun laughed at himself.
"As you can see, and as you wish, Tianjiao Gang's Shijia stores have lost a lot of money."
Ye Buwen understood instantly.
It turns out that those empty shops are owned by the Tianjiao Family.
"As I wish, this statement is incorrect. I have no thoughts against the Tianjiao Gang. Please don't put the blame on me."
"Obviously you didn't handle it well and didn't fight against others."
Ye Buwen and the Tianjiao Gang have no intersection at all, and there is no enmity.
So he had no idea about the Tianjiao Gang.
As for why this situation occurred, Ye Buwen had some guesses in his mind, but he really didn't know the facts.
He has been in seclusion for the past half month and has not received news from the outside world.
"It's true that we didn't deal with it or fight against others."
"We always thought that it would be fine as long as the elders in the family took action. But when things have reached this situation, even if the elders in the family take action, it will be difficult to cover up the decline."
"The Fengyun City family is very greedy. They didn't miss this opportunity at all and gave us a severe blow."
Sun Mingyun smiled bitterly.
Seeing that his store was about to close down and be handed over to the Fengyun Chamber of Commerce, he felt very sad.
The family business has been run like this by him, which is a huge stain on his competition for the head of the family.
Perhaps after today, he has lost his qualifications to compete in front of his elders.
"What a pity. I thought you could have a good fight with others, but you were defeated in such a short time."
Ye Buwen shook his head regretfully.
Thinking about Sun Mingyun's behavior of approaching him for discussion, the Tianjiao Gang's business seems to have been slightly affected by his announcement.
However, the Tianjiao Gang's handling was very inadequate, or it was targeted by local experts, who seized on small mistakes and made a big fuss about it, sucking a bite of its blood.
Sun Mingyun then smiled bitterly and sighed: "After all, outsiders can't beat the locals."
"The local family played a good game and set the purchase price with us. Taking advantage of our reputation being damaged, they immediately broke the rules they set and raised the price to grab business."
Ye Buwen chuckled and said disdainfully: "You deserve it. We are competitors in the first place, but we still abide by the rules set by others."
Ye Buwen was not sympathetic to the Tianjiao Gang's plight.
No matter the local aristocratic family or the foreign aristocratic family, they are all the same.
Both types of families are jointly lowering the purchase price to ensure high profits while crowding out small stores.
The two types of aristocratic families contributed a lot to maintaining this unstable condition for so long, and they used many methods.
This is very unreasonable.
Almost every businessman knows that as long as the purchase price is slightly increased, more goods can be collected and more money can be made.
But none of the aristocratic families have increased their prices.
This is true for local aristocratic families, and it is also true for foreign aristocratic families.
We are competitors who earn less the more you earn. This balance of mutual compliance is fragile.
Whoever breaks this rule first will make more money, and whoever is slow will be devoured.
The Tianjiao Gang behaved very naively, actually believing that others would not take advantage of the situation.
But the Tianjiao Gang did a good job breaking it.
The situation where the Tianjiao Gang and the local aristocratic families jointly controlled prices was broken, which was an opportunity for ordinary merchants and casual cultivators.
"It's true that we were too naive."
"The Tianjiao Gang and the local aristocratic families have been united for so many years. We never thought that people from the local aristocratic families would break the rules on their own."
Ye Buwen straightened his body slightly and said with a smile: "This joke did make me laugh a little. Thank you very much for the information."
After saying that, Ye Buwen continued to walk on the street to relax and look at the conditions of different shops.
Especially those with a certain name in front of their name.
Some people are preparing to sell their stores and close them down, while others are still struggling to survive and put up a big notice in front of their stores.
The notice reads:
Reversal! The attack on the unprofitable group was not carried out by the Tianjiao Gang, but by a small gang of independent cultivators.
After re-investigation by General Qian Fengshu of the city defenders, identical tattoos and tokens were found on the disposed corpses...
Ye Buwen looked at the investigation details written on the notice with interest.
It sounds like the truth.
But no matter Ye Buwen or the people of Fengyun City, no one cares about the truth.
What's more, it is a truth without evidence, just a piece of paper.
The notice that Ye Buwen posted at the beginning has already been preconceived and recognized by most cultivators.
In order to confirm his recognition and judgment, and to prove that he is not wrong.
The subsequent notice issued by the Tianjiao Gang is destined to be criticized.
Even if there is an ironclad death certificate, there will still be people who are stubborn.
This is public opinion.
Ye Buwen smiled. He did something unintentionally, but it caused such a big storm.
After strolling for a long time, Ye Buwen came to the shop in the Xingchen Auction House and the Foundation Building Auction.
He wanted to buy some spiritual weapon materials to refine the Jinshi Body Forging Pill for his Bailian Jinbone to transform from the Dharma Bone to the Spirit Bone.
In addition, he also needed to purchase a large number of ores with the special power of the five elements to practice the five spirits of the sky and condense the spirit seeds.
The water attribute is extremely cold and pure water, with extremely cold power.
This is a material for refining spiritual tools, and it has the terrifying power to freeze and shatter magic tools.
A small bottle of this cost him thousands of spiritual stones.
Gold attribute, White Tiger Evil Gold, has White Tiger Evil Force, which is the power of killing, and is a more ferocious type of gold attribute evil spirit.
This thing is also a material for refining spiritual tools, and it is an excellent material for refining killing swords, and is very popular with sword cultivators.
Ye Buwen spent a lot of spiritual stones to snatch it from a group of foundation-building cultivators who specialize in sword control.
Wood attribute, poisonous wood demon heart. This thing is more expensive, and it comes from a giant tree that failed to transform into a demon in the spiritual medicine Jedi, and it is a fourth-grade superior spiritual medicine.
It is said to improve the quality of wood spiritual roots.
Of course, the premise is to find an alchemist who can refine this kind of medicine.
Otherwise, this is a wood attribute demon pill with extremely poisonous power, which is okay for refining spiritual tools, poison pills and fourth-grade poison talismans.
If it weren't for this, Ye Buwen wouldn't be able to take such a rare thing.
