Chapter 338 Cut off the fuel supply, shall we surrender?
Xie Ying looked innocent: [I didn't mean to do anything. How could you think that of me? Am I a bad person? It really makes me sad.]
After saying this, she covered her heart with her hands.
But now she is a cute, white and chubby baby. The way she holds her heart makes people feel not weak and pitiful, but also has a kind of pretentious weirdness and playfulness, which is very funny to watch.
Fortunately, the power of her words just now was quite strong, and Situ Yuan couldn't laugh.
He looked at Xie Ying's chubby little hands speechlessly, secretly complaining in his heart: You don't look like a bad person, but you are just a loser!
He was sure that Xie Ying was up to something evil.
But she refused to speak, so he didn't dare to ask any more questions. Otherwise, if he did, she would get angry and embarrassed, and who knows what kind of revenge she would come up with.
Situ Yuan doesn't want to suddenly become fragrant one day, attracting a bunch of bees and butterflies, or become the second Chen Shou.
Well, he was talking about bees, wasps, butterflies and moths, not anything else.
Anyway, although Xie Ying is the sixth child, he knows how to act in moderation. Even if he really has evil intentions, he will not harm innocent people.
Most of the time, it is to deal with corrupt officials and unscrupulous businessmen, and to let the thieves eat the thieves.
Thinking of this, Situ Yuan no longer cared about it.
After Xie Ying finished her meal happily, he personally sent her back before it got dark.
As soon as Xie Ying returned home, she was pestered by her elder brother and younger brother.
Xie Di crawled in front of her, surrounded her and asked questions, his big eyes full of confusion.
"Ah?"
Why does my sister smell so good?
I want to eat.
Xie Di's mouth was watering.
Xie Ying quickly dodged, fearing that the boy would spit on her, and urged her brother: "Wipe his saliva quickly!"
Xie Tang hugged his brother helplessly, wiping his saliva while holding him in his arms to prevent him from running around.
But Xie Di still kept staring at Xie Ying, feeling that Xie Ying was eating secretly behind his back.
Xie Tang actually had this suspicion as well, but Xie Ying hadn't had a stomachache, so he could only pretend not to know.
Just looking at Xie Ying's eyes, they were exactly the same as Xie Di's. Six words were written in her clear eyes: You must have cheated!
Xie Ying decisively shifted the blame: [Situ Yuan is too much. He deliberately ate a lot of food in front of me and refused to share with me! Humph!]
Xie Tang: “…”
Do you think I believe it or not?
He took Situ Yuan's carriage to and from school every day, and Situ Yuan let him eat whatever he wanted and was never stingy.
Can he bully a baby?
What's more, if he really wanted to do that, would Xie Ying still be able to follow him to the Princess's Mansion every day?
Don't think he doesn't know his sister's temper.
What a little scoundrel she is. She ate other people's food and then lied and made Situ Yuan take the blame for her.
If this wasn't his sister, he would definitely be disgusted to death.
I really don’t know what Situ Yuan is thinking. He takes the blame for his sister every day and never gets tired of being nice to her.
That guy doesn't look like a masochist, does he?
Xie Tang always felt that these two people were weird.
He asked Xie Ying, "Yingying, do you know? Situ Yuan's glass factory is amazing. The colored glass they produce is extremely beautiful. He even gave me a small pendant and gave you and the little prince half of the shares. You're not even a year old yet, but your wealth is growing."
Xie Tang took out a small glass pendant to show off to Xie Ying as if he were presenting a treasure, but he couldn't help feeling jealous.
Situ Yuan is really generous. He gave away half of the shares just like that.
Xie Ying was speechless. It was only half of the shares, and this was the case. If he knew that she actually held 30% of the shares, wouldn't her useless elder brother be so jealous that he would doubt his life?
She hasn't even found the gold mine yet.
However, gold mines are different from coal mines. Private mining is strictly prohibited. Even if she really found it, she couldn't keep it all for herself.
Very boring.
She might as well rob the gang members and make money with Situ Yuan at the same time.
The glass factory is just the beginning. When various glass products are put on the market in the future, people will know how profitable this thing is!
Xie Ying was increasingly looking forward to growing up quickly.
……
The news that Situ Yuan was named Prince of Yongkang quickly spread throughout the capital.
Along with this news, there was also news that Taiping Coal Mine was launching honeycomb coal at a special price.
In order to celebrate her son being named a prince, the eldest princess decided to sell honeycomb coal at a special price as a celebration so that the people could also share in the joy.
In the past, if a wealthy family had a big happy event, they would hold a three-day banquet and let everyone eat for free.
The eldest princess has done this before.
But now that she has opened a coal mining company, she no longer plans to hold buffets, and instead sells coal at a discounted price.
The total duration is three days. During these three days, all people can buy honeycomb coal at the price of ten cents per piece.
However, the purchase limit is 100 yuan per person.
The original price will be restored after three days.
Moreover, the princess will make up the difference in price of the coal sold at a special price out of her own pocket, so as not to harm the interests of other shareholders of the company.
After the news spread, people were very excited. Many people rushed to the nearest specialty store almost immediately, fearing that they would miss out if they were too late.
Soon, long queues formed in front of each specialty store.
Because each person was limited to purchasing 100 pieces of honeycomb coal, some people even brought their families, including the elderly, women and children.
The street in front of the store was completely blocked.
Some of the smart guys in the surrounding shops took the opportunity to invite people to sit and wait in their shops and promote their own products.
Although not everyone will buy it, as long as there are enough people, you will always find someone who is willing to pay.
So the shop assistants and shop owners were also very happy.
Only the coal merchants were unhappy.
The eldest princess' move is simply cutting off the source of the problem!
The honeycomb coal sold by Taiping Coal Mine burns better and is more affordable than previous coal blocks.
So many people are willing to buy it.
That is to say, the poor people are reluctant to spend money and have never bought it.
Until inferior honeycomb coal appeared one after another, the price was cheaper, and the weather was getting colder, these poor people had no choice but to grit their teeth and buy those inferior honeycomb coals.
Originally, coal merchants could still make money from these poor people.
Although you earn less, you can still make money.
Now, the price of the princess's special-priced coal is almost the same as that of inferior coal. Those poor people will definitely not miss this opportunity to get a bargain.
Once they have used the high-quality honeycomb coal from Taiping Coal Mine, they will naturally know the good from the bad.
If someone takes advantage of these three days to go on a buying spree, how can these coal merchants make money?
I'm afraid it won't be long before the entire capital's market will be occupied by Taiping Coal Mine, and these coal merchants won't even have a chance to make a profit!
What’s even worse is that with the emergence of honeycomb coal, the price of cheap crushed coal slag, which no one wanted before, has also skyrocketed.
This has increased the cost of making honeycomb coal significantly. Selling it for ten cents a piece is already the bottom line. If the price is lower, it will result in a loss.
As the coal merchants saw the Taiping Coal Mine's business getting better and better, they became more and more anxious and angry.
They quickly gathered together and held a small meeting to discuss countermeasures.
We sat together and discussed for a long time, and the final result was -
"Or... should we just vote?"
