Chapter 197: Final Counterattack, Emerald Tiger Defeated
In the villa, the emerald tiger narrowed his eyes, wore a gorgeous robe, a tall hat, and exuded a noble aura.
Holding the wine glass in his left hand, he looked very confident, facing the sun, and muttered to himself: "Today is the tenth day of the bet. Let me see what tricks you have."
"I, Jade Tiger, have never lost a bet."
At this time, the housekeeper came hurriedly, raised his hand to salute, and said in a hurried tone: "Sir, I just got the news that after the Xinzheng market opened today, the price of grain has fallen."
"what?"
Emerald Tiger was shocked. On the tenth day of the bet, there would be a turnaround. He asked quickly, "You mean, the price of grain has dropped?"
"What is going on? How can food prices fall?"
The steward continued to report, "This morning, as soon as the city gates opened, a huge amount of grain suddenly flooded into the market. People rushed to buy it, and the price kept falling."
"Because of the influx of a lot of food, the price of food has begun to fall."
The wine bottle in Emerald Tiger's hand was thrown out suddenly, and the wine spilled all over the floor. He looked angry and ordered loudly: "Buy them all at any price. This is just their last struggle."
"We will buy as much as this batch of grain sells. We want to have complete control over all grain and not give them any chances. We don't want grain prices to fall."
The steward had no choice but to continue issuing orders to forcibly collect all the grain on the market.
Emerald Tiger's face was full of gloom. "Mu Feng, Han Fei, I thought you were buying grain from Wei to fill the gap in the private transfer of military grain for disaster relief. I didn't expect you to want to win the bet."
"In that case, I will make sure you lose without leaving any bones."
I do not know how long it has been.
The butler appeared in front of the Jade Tiger again and reported: "Sir, we have bought a thousand bushels of grain, but the price of grain has dropped to three gold coins per bushel."
Emerald Tiger was very calm. If the price drops, he will continue to buy. As long as he buys back all the food, the price will naturally go back up. He said calmly, "Keep buying."
By noon, the sun was already at the top of the sky, and the water surface was sparkling under the sunlight.
At this time, the servant continued to report: "Sir, we have purchased 1,000 hu of grain, and the price of grain has dropped by 30%."
The Emerald Tiger stood beside the courtyard building and looked into the distance. The black crows stopped in front of the Emerald Tiger.
Jade Tiger opened it with a solemn look, and said with contempt, "How dare you easily stop at this moment? My Lord is too cautious."
Then he spread his hands, a breeze blew, and the note fell onto the lake.
Obviously, Ye Mu had already noticed that something was wrong with Mu Feng and the others. This was a trick. Bai Yifei wanted the Emerald Tiger to stop as soon as possible and reduce the losses.
If he stopped now, he could at least save his life, and it would also be enough to pay the compensation for the bet.
Unfortunately, now Jade Tiger has become a gambler who has lost a lot of money. He thinks that his business talent is far superior to Mu Feng and Han Fei, and that the two green hands are no match for him.
Jade Tiger thought to himself, "Han Fei only bought 2,000 hu of grain from Wei, and now I have bought all of it. It can no longer cause any trouble."
"We just need to maintain this price and speed up the collection of grain, and grain prices will naturally go up."
After an unknown amount of time, in the afternoon, the Emerald Tiger was still waiting for news.
The servant knelt on the ground and said in a panic, "Sir, the price of grain has dropped by another 10%."
The fish food in Emerald Tiger's hand suddenly fell, and he shouted, "Impossible! Buy them all at any price."
At this time, another servant came hurriedly, knelt on the ground, and reported in a panic: "My lord, it's bad. Food is pouring into the market. The news that the Ninth Prince bought food from Wei at a high price has spread to the other six countries."
"Grain merchants from other countries heard the news and began to ship grain to Xinzheng."
"The grain merchants are selling off their stocks one after another. Even if we have a grain collection contract, we can no longer control the grain price."
The Emerald Tiger was so frightened that it kept backing away, knowing that everything was irreversible. A large amount of grain had flooded into the market, and it was no longer any use to forcibly collect grain on its own.
His face was full of anger: "Mu Feng, Han Fei, you want to fight to the death with me?"
"There is no way back now. We must give it a try."
If Emerald Tiger had listened to Bai Yifei's advice before and stopped in time to recover the losses, it would have been able to recover the funds and maintain its position.
It now costs about eight thousand gold to buy two thousand hu of grain. The Emerald Tiger's wealth has already been used to buy countless grains before, spending no less than tens of thousands of kilograms, and all the grains were classified as military rations.
No matter how rich the Emerald Tiger is, it cannot afford such extravagance. Purchasing 2,500 grains is already the limit. Now buying grain again at any cost will hurt its foundation.
If we give it a try, we will not be able to resist the crazy price drops of food prices. Food prices are already out of control and all our efforts will be in vain.
Even if the Emerald Tiger quickly sells off its stored food now, it will only be able to stop the loss in time, but the loss will be at least ten thousand gold coins, and the Emerald Tiger cannot afford such a heavy responsibility.
What's more, the food that Jade Tiger bought now was the food he bought himself. Wei Zhuang and Yan Lingji had already transferred all the military rations that were not included in the accounts.
The Jade Tiger is like pouring money from the left hand to the right hand, taking out money for free and giving it to Mu Feng, while Mu Feng can get tens of thousands of gold from the Jade Tiger without spending a penny.
The transaction continued, and Mu Feng continued to take away Emerald Tiger's money, forming a cycle.
What's more, grain from the other six countries has all poured in, and a large amount of grain has entered the market, causing oversupply. The price of grain will naturally fall quickly, but it will only fall to the usual price.
Everything is under Mu Feng's control. I'm afraid that millions of dollars of Emerald Tiger's funds will fall into Mu Feng's hands. If he tries to get something for nothing, Emerald Tiger will become a money-losing tiger.
Giving it a try would only make the Emerald Tiger fail faster, with no possibility of making a comeback. Besides, Mu Feng would not give him this opportunity.
Of course, in order to keep the secret, Ye Mu cannot allow the Emerald Tiger to survive in the world.
......
In Zi Lan Xuan, Mu Feng and Han Fei sat opposite each other, waiting for the final kill.
Zhang Liang smiled and walked over, saying, "Brother Mu, Brother Han, the grain price in Xinzheng has dropped back to 200 baht per hu, and it is still falling."
“It won’t take long for prices to return to normal levels.”
Mu Feng took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "The counterattack has been successful. The Emerald Tiger has no chance to counterattack."
"Brother Han, I'm afraid they have already taken action. Take care."
Han Fei smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work Zifang. Brother Mu is right. They have arrived."
As soon as he finished speaking, Han Yu, Han Qiancheng and Ji Wuye came here together. Obviously, after defeating the Emerald Tiger, the next step would be for Han Wangan to deal with Han Fei.
