Chapter 562: We Have Been Tricked

It was difficult for the families to unite in the face of such a large profit. They started to argue back and forth. Whoever gave way first was an idiot.

At the same time, the families started to do research on Li Yixiao and Lu Shu. After all, Lu Shu was not a nobody. It was not particularly difficult to find information on him.

But the information made them feel uncertain. There were no abnormalities with Li Yixiao after he had returned from the Koh Chang Island remains. On the contrary, he was very poor and made a lot of noise about it. Nalan Que felt a headache whenever she saw the two words ?Li Yixiao?…

?Hm? He is poor, but why did he contract for a small factory near the Liu family village? He even bought property rights for a house!? Li Yunchu was very surprised and puzzled. ?He did so two days ago!?

There was nothing amazing about buying a house or land. Which child of these big families did not have property? But there was no reason for Li Yixiao, a Heavenly King, to suddenly buy a house at a village. He even contracted for a factory that had previously altered clothing. The factory belonged to the village manager?s son. It had decent business in the past. It was only recently that a bank run occurred and it stopped operations.

The factory was not very efficient, but it occupied a large space. It was very close to Route 301.

These seemed to have nothing to do with the black market deal. But it had happened just two days ago. This was a serious problem!

Before the families could go to the workshop to have a look, someone received a phone call. ?There?s something wrong with the black market. Hurry and take a look.?

The families looked at each other helplessly before rushing to the black market. When they approached the gate, they almost vomited fresh blood upon seeing the freshly painted red words on the steel gate. ?This place has changed owners. We have moved to the Liu family village clothes alteration factory near Route 301. All customers will receive Chinese chives upon arrival. The vendors are selling Chinese chives wholesale for a low price.?

This was just too cruel. The entire black market was vacant. Li Yixiao had brought them along with him!

Everyone thought that even though they had incurred losses, at least they had the black market as consolation. They may not even be able to earn the few hundred million they had lost. But in the end, everyone had run away from the black market.

Is a black market without secret practitioners still considered a black market? They had no use for a bomb shelter!

Nalan Que gnashed her teeth. ?Li Yixiao, Lu Shu… Li Yixiao could not have possibly thought of this. It must be the doing of that Lu Shu!?

Li Yunchu calmly said to his subordinate, ?Tear down the gate and throw it away.?

He then turned his head and said to the other families, ?Everyone, this is not the time for hesitating. I suggest that the six families evenly split the profits. We have to hurry up and drag the secret practitioners back. If not, we would have completely wasted our effort.?

The families could argue over the profits, but they could also quickly unite over profits.

?They may be able to run away, but we can also drag them back here!? The Wang family laughed coldly. ?Li Yixiao may have forgotten that magical stones are the goods with highest demand in the black market! Although magical stones are currently not considered hard currency, but who knows what will happen in the future. We will be the vendor with the most magical stones!?

?But the price of our magical stones are much higher than market value. We can?t possibly sell it for a cheaper price, right??

The Wang family member shook his head. ?No, we are not selling them at a lower price. We will sell them at 400 thousand per piece. We just need to drag the secret practitioners back here.?

?Our price is disadvantageous. How do we drag them back??

The Wang family member said, ?Magical stones are consumable goods. Some secret practitioners may have used them up after painstakingly collecting them. Furthermore, the number of magical stones in the country is decreasing. A day will soon come when they are all used up. There will be a new channel that transports magical stones. But do you know the origin of these magical stones??

?Where else could they be from? They were brought into the country from overseas.?

?That?s right. But I believe that we have certain control over the black markets in the country. We can also only retrieve so many secret practitioners back here. How great would it be if we worked together to prohibit these backpackers who bring magical stones with them??

Everyone?s eyes lit up. If they strictly prohibited those secret practitioners from bringing magical stones into the country, then the domestic magical stone market would be monopolized by them!

With the skills of the families, their profits would not be limited to what they had now if they monopolized the magical stones.

?The Nalan family is willing to put up 5000 magical stones for sale!? Nalan Que said coldly.

Li Yunchu laughed. ?The Li family will put up 5000 stones as well.?

That night, over ten secret practitioners were stopped by the families at the border. There were even people who had been chased down by the families after entering the border. They did not kill these secret practitioners, if they did, the Heavenly Network would be involved. They simply wanted to take the magical stones at the overseas prices, and warned the secret practitioners to not do the same thing again if they wanted to live.

Of course, the families were using peaceful means before resorting to force. If they met someone who did not cooperate with them, they would heartlessly deal with them. These people were few and far between and they would not alarm the Heavenly Network.

Momentarily, there were no new imports of magical stones into the country, only consumption! Furthermore, the six families proceeded to clear the the magical stones from the rest of the black market. It was a large sum of money, but no matter how expensive it was, it would not exceed 400 thousand per piece…

Overnight, the secret practitioners suddenly realized that the magical stones on the market had disappeared. The six big families had bought everything.

This was the power of the big families!

At dawn, Li Yunchu sat in the meeting room. He kneaded his temples and smiled. ?There are no more problems. Let me wish everyone in advance a good cooperation and large profits!?

The other families stood up. ?Let us show Li Yixiao our authority.?

At this moment, someone suddenly ran into the meeting room. ?The alteration factory near Route 301 has started operations. Not only are they giving out magical leeks, they have also announced to all the secret practitioners that from today onwards, they would be supplying an unlimited amount of magical stones! 390 thousand for one stone!?

?From Li Yunchu?s distress, +999!?

?From Nalan Que?s distress, +999!?

?From…?

This was such a terrible price. It was ten thousand yuan lower than what they were selling the magical stones at. If the families insisted on competing with them, they would lose even more money!

Li Yunchu was so upset that he almost broke his tooth. ?… how lowly!?

Since Li Yixiao had invited the families over and till now, they had been tricked. The families never expected that they would still have magical stones on hand in order to not let go of the black market.

If they kept to their word and could supply an endless flow of magical stones, then they would at least have more than ten thousand stones. Li Yunchu and the rest did not think that they would go to such lengths to maintain their black market business, not even hesitating to put the magical stones on sale!

Was 390 thousand yuan per stone a low price! Compared to the market value, not at all! By reducing the price by a slight margin, they increased their market share! It was not a loss at all for them!
