Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey! Chapter 828 - 221 Shen Wansan: How is This Possible (10,000

The steward understood Yelu’s intention upon hearing the words and imdiately sent soone to notify these people.

Upon receiving the news, Shen Wansan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Hmm, it’s only 100,000 stones, so the problem isn’t too big."

The rest of the Suzhou rchants also agreed with Shen Wansan’s wait-and-see policy. It turns out that the handler in Mianshui was trying to deceive them a bit. If they were really in a hurry to sell the grain in their hands,

the market impact at night would have likely caused the grain prices in Mianshui to plumt beyond help.

Now, there is still hope. The other party only has 100,000 stones of grain. So, as long as they wait for this batch to sell out, the grain prices can rise again, and we can still profit.

Everyone imdiately regained their confidence.

anwhile, local scholars like Zhou Peng from the Beggar Sect and Liu Rong from the Firewood Guild remained unsettled after a shocking night. After all, whether the grain in their hands could be sold at a high price was still unknown!

And when Yelu’s n ca to inform that there were only 100,000 stones of grain, they also breathed a sigh of relief.

Mianshui needs at least 300,000 stones of grain to relieve the famine. 100,000 stones is not of much use; it might not be a drop in the bucket, but the gap is still huge, so the grain prices can still go up.

So they held back and didn’t sell grain overnight, making this night in Mianshui calm and peaceful.

Everyone thought that grain prices wouldn’t change much tonight.

But upon awaking.

Suzhou Chamber of Comrce.

Shen Wansan was there drinking thin porridge and eating delicate pickles when suddenly a group of rchants rushed in.

"Brother Wan San, sothing’s wrong, sothing’s wrong."

Hearing this, Shen Wansan put down his bowl, looking at the visitors.

It wasn’t just one person that ca but a whole group, imdiately filling Shen Wansan’s room.

"What’s happened?"

Shen Wansan looked at them, and they said, "Brother Wan San, sothing’s happened."

Shen Wansan frowned and said, "What is it?"

"It’s serious, Brother Wan San, the black market grain price has dropped again."

Upon hearing this, Shen Wansan said, "Oh, what’s the matter? Last night was so ostentatious, a drop in the black market grain price is normal, but since neither we nor Yelu have dumped stocks, I estimate it’s forty-three cents?"

Hearing this, the rchant said, "No, even lower."

"Hmm? Forty cents?"

Shen Wansan frowned. This price already deviated significantly from his estimate.

"Thirty-five cents."

At that mont, the Suzhou rchant spoke, and hearing these words, Shen Wansan furrowed his brows tightly, put down his chopsticks, and said, "Has soone dumped stocks?"

Hearing this, the rchant said, "Yes, last night four thousand stones of grain appeared on the black market, directly hamring the price down to thirty-five cents."

Shen Wansan said, "Whose grain is it?"

"Don’t know, not ours. Asked this morning, and it’s not Yelu’s either. Sothing’s fishy here."

Hearing this, Shen Wansan said, "Chen Jiusi’s."

Hmm?

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Shen Wansan.

"Wasn’t Chen Jiusi’s grain all burned up?"

Shen Wansan said, "Haha... burned up, did you see it burned? That fire might have been a trap to lure us in."

Everyone around was stunned and said, "This lure is?"

Shen Wansan said, "Of course it’s us."

The people of the Suzhou Chamber of Comrce said, "Now what, if Chen Jiusi’s grain wasn’t burned, he has at least seventy thousand stones, plus Yelu’s one hundred thousand stones, they have at least one hundred seventy thousand stones of grain. With such a large amount of grain, if they decide to dump stocks, our grain prices might not rise for a long ti!"

"Yes, what should we do?"

The people of the Suzhou Chamber of Comrce frowned tightly.

After hearing these words, Shen Wansan thought for a mont and said, "The enemy is deliberately trying to make us panic, so we mustn’t panic and shouldn’t rush to sell grain, or we’ll fall into their trap. One hundred seventy thousand stones of grain is quite a lot, but it’s still half the deficit in Mianshui County, so we still have a chance."

Upon hearing this, the people of the Suzhou Chamber of Comrce looked at Shen Wansan and said, "Brother, aren’t we going to act yet?"

Shen Wansan said, "At this ti, it’s about who can endure; if we can endure, the money to be made is still ours. If we can’t endure, the situation will collapse like an avalanche, and our trip will be in vain."

Upon hearing this, the people of the Suzhou Chamber of Comrce said, "Then, bear it again."

Shen Wansan said, "Endure!"

On the other side, Zhou Peng and others also couldn’t sit still, especially upon hearing that the grain price had dropped to thirty-five cents.

From the highest fifty cents all the way down to thirty-five cents, they were very panicked, fearing the price might fall further and they’d earn even less.

At this mont, Liu Rong said, "Guild Leader Zhou, why not sell so, today’s price is thirty-five cents, who knows if it’ll beco thirty tomorrow?"

Zhou Peng said, "No, Lord Yelu said to hold on."

Landlord Wang said, "Guild Leader Zhou, Lord Yelu doesn’t have grain, so he can hold on, but our Wang family depends on this grain to recoup our losses."

"Yes, Guild Leader Zhou, truly can’t hold on, if it drops more, we won’t earn much."

Zhou Peng listened and said, "Folks, folks, trust once, the price of thirty-five cents is the bottom. It’s impossible for Mianshui to have more grain, so everyone just endure a little longer, endure a little longer!"

Everyone exchanged glances and then said, "Alright, let’s listen to Guild Leader Zhou one more ti, let’s endure a few more days and see the market."

...

Fishing Guild, Chen Residence.

"How was it?"

Chen Jie asked Xiao Hu if, upon knowing the latest grain price, did the Suzhou Chamber of Comrce and Yelu’s subordinates take any action?
