Since the opening of the border agreement, Federation's merchant fleets flooded into Qingshan Stadium. After being closed for more than ten years, the crowded and poor capital, which was now Qingshan Town, finally welcomed the long-awaited prosperity.
But the harmonious trade only lasted for less than two days.
On the third day, a large number of trucks from Federation's major chambers of commerce suddenly appeared in Qingshan Town's market. They set up a large sign in front of a few medium-sized stalls with the words "Big Sale" written on it.
At the same time, a few vendors in front of the stalls began to yell at the top of their lungs.
"Cheap nutrient supply, all kinds of them, a big clearance sale! 30% cheaper than the market price, don't miss it! "
"We're 40% cheaper here! Is there anything cheaper than us? Come and buy it! If you miss this opportunity, you'll have to wait until next year! "
"Buy, buy, buy. This is a necessity with a long shelf life. It's better to buy more at home. With such a massive sale, where can we wait?! "
The passersby saw the situation and all came forward to watch. In the shouting of price reduction, they all took out the crystals in their pockets and rushed to buy the cheap nutrient supply.
Faced with this sudden wave of price reductions, the other stall owners were all dumbfounded as they looked at the empty stalls.
Following the price reduction?
But the merchants from Federation were offering a price that was close to their cost price! Some of the merchants even wanted to cry but had no tears to shed when they discovered that their cost price had already been broken. Instead of selling the nutrient supply now, it was better to go to the stalls in Federation to buy some.
No one thought that the little thing that could be seen everywhere would cause such a huge storm.
It was not that no one came up with an idea.
A few major nutrient supply retailers in Qingshan Town gathered together to discuss and jointly invested to buy the nutrient supply in the hands of Federation merchants. Then, they would slowly wait for the excess nutrient supply to be digested by the market before letting the market price return to a rational state.
However, the ideal was beautiful, but the reality was cruel.
A few retailers took out a total of 100,000 crystals and bought the nutrient supply in the inventory of Federation merchants. But before the retailers could relax, in just one day, batches of nutrient supply were transported into Qingshan Town by trucks again …
The large-scale dumping continued.
In just two days, according to statistics, the number of nutrient supply per capita in Qingshan Town was close to 600, which was almost enough for the survivors to eat for half a year. By now, even the merchants of the Federation couldn't sell them anymore. Not to mention that the market was extremely saturated, the local residents, because of the crazy purchase, didn't have many crystals on hand.
After the madness, came the depression.
The Gear Chamber of Commerce was very satisfied with the current situation of Qingshan Town. As the behind-the-scenes supporter of the Federation President, he single-handedly facilitated the peace with NAC, the free trade agreement, and the nutrient supply dumping incident.
"Mr. Jia Ming, let me congratulate you in advance for becoming the president of the entire Hucheng region."
"Hahaha, you think too highly of me, Boss Liu. Without your help, how could I have obtained such an honor? "
At the table, Jia Ming repeatedly toasted this businessman called Boss Liu. Although he was the president, he knew very well that at least half of the credit for him being able to sit in his current position was due to the man in front of him. Therefore, in front of this sugar daddy, he did not put on any presidential airs.
"NAC took down the capital, but they didn't expect that it would end up benefiting our Federation. Tsk tsk, how ironic, "Liu Hong, known as Boss Liu, leaned back in his chair, shook his glass, and said leisurely.
"What's your next step?" The president asked.
"Now the market of Qingshan Town is in a mess. We're just waiting for the local merchants to go bankrupt, and then we'll buy the farmland and processing plants they dumped." Liu Hong's small eyes narrowed into a line as he smiled sinisterly.
"Do you need my cooperation?" The president laughed.
"There's no need. Now we just need to finish the game step by step," Liu Hong said slowly.
…
Are these nutrient supplies really okay?
Of course not!
No matter how they checked, these nutrient supplies were legitimate goods, not substandard garbage.
As long as it was a sizable survivor settlement, they would conduct sample quality testing for large quantities of goods. After all, some D-type nutrient supplies used mutants and zombies as raw materials. Without testing for toxicity, who would dare to eat it? And they couldn't rule out the possibility that raiders pretended to be merchants and poisoned the nutrient supplies.
And because of the large-scale dumping of Federation merchants, Qingshan Town's quality inspection personnel increased the inspection of nutrient supplies to prevent toxic goods from being mixed in.
If it were the leaders of other small settlements, they would wake up laughing in their dreams when they saw how cheap the nutrient supply was in their market. But for the slightly larger survivor settlements, the excessive nutrient supply could not only make people "full", but also "bloated" …
"Currently, three nutrient supply retailers that cooperated with our group have gone bankrupt. If the price of nutrient supply continues to be low, considering the profit margin, we will have to close the 100 acres of mutated fruit plantation at Golden River Farm … Of course, I won't do that. Although the other small shareholders strongly urged me to do so, "Zhao Chenwu said.
"What do they want to do?"
"Through nutrient supply, they want to disrupt the order of our market. Not only nutrient supply, but because of their large-scale dumping, our food business also declined by 28%, and the sales of other unrelated industries also declined by a certain margin, "Zhao Chenwu said.
Through nutrient supply, they "robbed" the currency in the hands of consumers and squeezed out the consumption potential of the market. Not only was nutrient supply affected, but the sales of instant noodles, compressed biscuits, and canned food that could be substituted were also greatly affected. There were also weapons, bullets, and even clothing that couldn't be hit by a gun …
"Not only that, in the Sixth Street Bank's exchange, the transaction price of Golden River Farm's land ownership also declined. Since … Federation has such cheap nutrient supply, the price of the mutated fruit as the raw material was also impacted. "
"A chain reaction? It even affected the Sixth Street six hundred kilometers away. " Jiang Chen said thoughtfully, "But I don't understand how they could take out so much nutrient supply. Dumping at a loss, aren't they worried about going bankrupt? "
"They could use the crystals they got from dumping at a loss to purchase the rapidly depreciating land. This way, not only would they not lose money, but they could even make a fortune."
Hearing Zhao Chenwu's words, Jiang Chen understood.
No wonder he was a cunning businessman. He immediately saw through the conspiracy of the Federation merchants.
As the number of crystals circulating in Hongcheng decreased, the purchasing power of crystals was forcibly increased. And the dumping of nutrient supply caused the land used for farming to depreciate, which allowed them to purchase more land from farmers and merchants that went bankrupt.
Finally, they would monopolize the production of mutated fruit in Hongcheng, and then monopolize the nutrient supply market.
At that time, the price of nutrient supply would be decided by the merchants of the Federation.
Since he already knew their plan, Jiang Chen obviously wouldn't let them get what they wanted. He already had an idea in his mind as a smile appeared on his face.
"Make a fortune? Hehe, I promise they won't get anything back. "
"Looks like you already have a plan, then I won't embarrass myself." Hearing Jiang Chen's words, Zhao Chenwu also laughed.
"Of course I have a plan, but I need your cooperation."
"I'm at your service at any time!"
