"The Wu family, the Chen family, and the Wei family, have they lost their minds?"
In the Liu residence, Liu Luo, who had just received the news, had a dark expression on his face. He was pacing in the hall and growling in a low voice.
This time, he had mobilized the Liu family's resources and joined forces with the other major clans in Liu Zhou to cut off the Lin family's supply of goods, completely blocking the Lin family's escape route. The other party's shop and workshop in Liu Zhou had already been built. If there was no supply of goods, all the initial investment would be for naught.
At this time, if he used another identity to negotiate with Lin Wanru, the result would be completely different from before.
However, he did not expect that after a few days of gloating, the blockade he had formed with the major clans in Liu Zhou to seal off the Lin family would be torn open.
The Wu family, the Chen family, and the Wei family were not as rich and powerful as the Liu family, but when they joined forces, the Liu family could not touch them easily.
The problem was that they had previously promised him that they would unite to fight against the Lin family, who was an outsider. However, at the critical moment, they went back on their word, causing the Liu family to waste a lot of resources … Could it be that these clans were spies planted by the Lin family in Liu Zhou?
Liu Luo asked with a dark expression, "What did they say?"
One of the servants hesitated for a moment before saying, "They, they said that they would be bastards if they didn't earn money. Thank you, young master, for giving them the opportunity to cooperate with the Lin family …"
Liu Luo almost spat out a mouthful of blood. He said furiously, "Bastards, bastards, they've been fooling me from the beginning!"
"Shut up!"
A middle-aged man walked in from outside the door and glanced at Liu Luo. The latter immediately shut his mouth.
He could be arrogant in front of outsiders, but he did not dare to lose his composure in front of his father, the current master of the Liu family.
"I handed over the Liu family's business to you. Look at what you've done these days …" The middle-aged man looked at him coldly and said, "The Lin family could not have come this far without the support of the Third Prince. If you go against the Lin family, you are going against the Third Prince. Are you going to take the blame or the Liu family?"
"Father, I …"
Liu Luo opened his mouth but did not say anything.
The middle-aged man paused for a moment before continuing, "However, even though the Third Prince thinks highly of the Lin Family, our Liu Family is not one to be trifled with. If we were to lose like this, I'm afraid that the Third Prince will look down on us …"
Liu Luo was delighted to hear that and immediately said, "Father, you are right. The Liu family is a century-old family. How can we lose to the Lin family? Why don't we …"
Before he could finish, the middle-aged man waved his hand and said, "Put away your crooked tricks. The business world is like a battlefield. Even if you want to win, you have to win fair and square. I want to see if the legend of the Lin family is really that capable, or if the rumors are exaggerated …"
Li Yi felt that the rumors about the Lin family's favored daughter were exaggerated.
She did not care about anything these days. She was more familiar with Ruyi and the others than he was.
Ruyi taught her the youth-retaining technique that he had tricked from Old Taoist Yuan. She shared her beauty and skincare tips with them. She was no different from those rich ladies in the Capital City who had nothing to do. She did not look like a business woman at all.
In the end, he had to do all the work himself. In the Li family, such a lazy steward would have long been fired and left to starve to death …
"This is so infuriating!"
Li Yi sat in the yard and browsed through the accounts. Lin Wanru's maid, Xiu 'er, came in and sat opposite him. She had her hair tied into two buns and looked sullen. Her angry look made her look a little cute.
"What's wrong?" Li Yi asked casually.
"It's those people!" The little girl put her hands on her hips, and the anger on her face had not dissipated. She said, "We opened a clothing store, and they also opened a clothing store. They chose to open it before we opened our store, and they even cut the price by 10%. They are clearly trying to steal our business!"
Xiu 'er had been with Lin Wanru since she was a child. She followed her everywhere and traveled with her. She was very familiar with some things in the business world.
However, her mentality and character were still not used to the business world.
A business war was a war without gunpowder. A large-scale business war, in terms of influence and power, was not inferior to a war.
The difference was that a war was a real one. After the war, there would be a lot of corpses. After a business war, there would often be no bones left.
"If they do this, when we open in two days … there will be no customers!" The little girl wiped her tears. She had been following the business expansion in Liuzhou from beginning to end. She had worked so hard for so long, but in the end, the peaches were taken by others. She felt so wronged that she was about to cry.
Li Yi had a headache when he saw the girl cry. He hurriedly said, "Don't cry, don't cry. It's just stealing customers. I will teach you a trick that can definitely steal all our customers!"
"It's true!" Xiu 'er rubbed her eyes and looked at him with surprise.
She trusted Young Master Li very much. Sometimes, she even trusted him more than she trusted her own Miss.
Because when her miss encountered something she could not decide, she would also listen to Li.
"Don't worry about it." Li Yi put down the account book and said, "Let's talk about something else first … Xiu 'er, how old were you with your miss?"
Xiu 'er thought for a moment and said, "Nine years old."
"How old was your miss at that time?"
"I think, 14 years old …"
"Then … when your miss was 14 years old, did she still wet the bed?"
…
From the beginning, Li Yi saw Lin Wanru standing in the distance and looking at them from time to time. At a certain moment, she finally came over and asked, "You and Xiu 'er … What were you talking about just now?"
Li Yi said helplessly, "You didn't teach her how to deal with the Liu family, so I had to teach her myself …"
Lin Wanru still looked a little doubtful and asked, "That's all?"
"That's all …" Li Yi looked at her and said in surprise, "Xiu 'er was about to cry because of the Liu family's means. I just taught her how to deal with it. What else could I say besides that? I can't say that you still wet the bed occasionally after you were 10 years old, can I?"
Lin Wanru was stunned, and then her face began to blush and blush.
Generally, people would not wet the bed after they were one or two years old, but before she was 14 years old, this kind of shameful thing would happen occasionally. This embarrassment lasted until she was 14 years old and then disappeared completely.
But after she was 5 years old, the only one who knew about this matter, besides her, was Xiu 'er, who slept with her at that time.
How long had it been? The two closest people around her had actually betrayed her at the same time …
"Xiu 'er …"
She clenched her teeth and turned to the inner courtyard.
A puzzled look appeared on Li Yi's face. Did he say anything wrong just now?
What's the point of venting your anger on Xiu 'er? If you have the ability, come at me …
…
In the Liu family, Liu Luo held a piece of paper in his hand and asked uncertainly, "Do they really give this kind of thing all over the street?"
The servant nodded and said, "Yes, young master. The shopkeeper and the shop assistant of their shop have a thick stack of it in their hands. They give it to everyone they see. The one in my hand was forced to me by them …"
"It is said that they also recruited people and gave them 10 copper coins a day …"
Liu Luo looked at the paper in his hand and said with a smile, "They cut the price by 10% on the first day, by 20% on the second day, by 30% on the third and fourth day. Half a month later, they actually cut the price by 90% …"
He put the paper on the table and said mockingly, "They cut the price by 10%. Why didn't they give it away for free?"
The Liu family gave 10% of the profit, so the number of customers in the shop had multiplied over the past few days. They had the idea of small profits but quick turnover. However, small profits but quick turnover did not mean that the lower the price, the better. 10% of the price was far lower than the cost price. The more they sold, the more they would lose …
If the people of Liu Zhou bought their goods on the last two days, even if the Lin family was wealthy and did not care about the loss of Liu Zhou, they would still become a joke in the business world.
What the proud daughter of the Lin family, the Hua Mulan of the business world. It turned out that it was all just a rumor …
"In half a month, get someone to buy a lot of the Lin family's goods." Liu Luo twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "They just opened for business and they already gave us such a big gift. They are too kind …"
