Right now, they were comparing who had more money and power and who could afford to waste it.
Two days later, the prices of the medicine pills and weapons had been cut for the majority of the companies on the continent, and the profits of the banks had risen as well.
This time, Continental was even more happy. This way, the original price of the pills would be reduced by 40%, the weapons by half, and the bank's profit would be increased by 30%. It was truly a great time to save money and earn money.
After this matter had happened, Tang Chuan sent a feedback message to Hua Ruge. Hua Ruge was currently sitting inside the merchant guild all his life, and when he heard the news, he said without blinking, "Follow up, keep in line with them."
Tang Chuan knew that he wouldn't listen to his boss's words, so he could only do as he said.
Only Tang Ru, who was beside Hua Ruge, said softly: "Boss, you must think this through."
"Put your heart in your stomach, I won't lose that easily." Hua Ruge said indifferently.
When the competition was at its peak, Hua Ruge's second plan also started. The content of the plan was simple: Go everywhere to look for the sources of goods from the three great merchant guilds, and the majority of it were weapons and ingredients.
If the three major companies had their own workshop, she would send people to buy their metal materials or ores at a high price. If they bought weapons from other workshops, she would send people to the workshop to sell them to her at a high price.
Hundreds of shopkeepers were mobilized and used their business skills to go around negotiating. Because of the high price, it was easy to buy a few.
However, this matter was quickly discovered by the people from the three great organizations. It was clear that Hua Ruge wanted to buy all these goods at once.
They naturally could not tolerate it, so they immediately sent people to stabilize the stock, but Hua Ruge did not give up that easily, so the shopkeeper also continued to raise the price.
The three great merchant guilds knew that no matter how much money these things cost, as long as it reached Hua Ruge's hands, it would double.
As a result, both sides began to enter into a stalemate as they continued to raise their prices and negotiate conditions.
However, this kind of stalemate was quickly broken because after raising the price two or three times, the shopkeepers stopped bidding and directly gave the goods to them.
Moreover, almost at the same time that the managers from various places stopped, this made the three great trading unions completely dumbfounded.
They thought that Hua Ruge was going to buy all of the supplies, just like how she bought the Great Zhou Empire.
Even if they knew from the very beginning that this was a trap, they could only jump in, because if Hua Ruge really bought all of these, it would be disastrous.
Now, they had increased the price for the suppliers of the goods. The overall cost had increased by 20% compared to before. The current price had really cost them to the point where they vomited blood.
The amount of weapons and pills sold everyday were all higher than Hua Ruge's. According to the current cost they had, it wasn't going to be an easy task for them either.
Right now, their only hope was to destroy Hua Ruge. They had to receive the resources from the east border and return.
On Hua Ruge's side, her bank business was not bad, there were many people saving money every day, this was enough for her to compensate, since people would not take their money out for a short period of time.
On the other hand, Grandpa Tang Chuan was trembling with fear every day.
Although he was not in a hurry to use the money, he was worried that he would not be able to afford the large amount of profit he had to pay.
Hua Ruge was actually very calm, her intention was simple. Since they were going to play, then let's play it big. If they wanted to destroy her, then she would drag them all into the water.
Three days after the delivery of the letter to the Monarch, Hua Ruge's mansion door was knocked on, and a servant entered with a man wrapped in a black cloak.
Hua Ruge looked at her frail body, then laughed: "Why are you here?"
A simple hand lifted up her cloak, revealing Lan Bing'er's happy face.
"Since the Monarch wants to find reliable people to give you money, I've volunteered to come here." Lan Bing'er passed her a Spirit Stone Card as he spoke: "Elder sister, the Monarch gathered these for you. Twenty billion spirit stones."
"20 billion?" Hua Ruge was surprised: "Didn't I say that I can only borrow ten billion?"
"The emperor thinks that it's not enough, and this money was earned by you anyways." Lan Bing'er then added, "These are the Monarch's exact words."0
"He's quite loyal, aren't he afraid that I'll lose him?" Hua Ruge expressed that he was feeling pressured.
Lan Bing'er laughed: "We all trust you, as long as you have money, big sis will definitely win."
"Since all of you have said so, I will try my best to not disappoint you." Hua Ruge said as he kept the Spirit Stone Card.
Actually, she had enough money in the bank. It was just that she was afraid of borrowing ten billion for the sake of making a mistake. She didn't expect that she would send so much money over.
"Oh right, Bing'er, did the Monarch say when would the weapons be delivered to me?" Hua Ruge asked.
"The Monarch told me to tell you that he should have twenty more days. According to your instructions, he should first transport the ordinary over." Lan Bing'er replied.
Hua Ruge sighed with emotion when he heard this: "As expected, friends are much easier to handle."
"Elder sister, can I stay here for a little longer?" Lan Bing'er asked.
"Of course, this is your home. You can stay here for as long as you want." Hua Ruge said as he laughed, "However, will the five halls of your house be scared?"
"I don't want to talk to him." Lan Bing'er said, but seeing the smile on his face, he must have said the opposite.
Hua Ruge held onto the twenty billion Spirit Stone Card, the plan in his mind becoming more and more perfect.
In the days that followed, neither side made a move. They continued to fight over the price to see who would fall first.
The cost of Hua Ruge's pills were much lower than the other party's, so the price he had to pay was limited.
Because these weapons were all supplied by various large workshops, their cost was somewhat high, so the compensation was very heavy. However, it was still within his range of bearing the consequences. After all, the bank had made a lot of money, so they didn't have to pay much. She could still move around freely.
Since the three major trading unions promised them additional benefits, they did not provide pills. Their pills and herbs were all purchased from the Heaven Seeking Pill Palace, which would require a very high fee. Furthermore, the cost of the weapons had increased by a lot due to Hua Ruge, so the compensation was now very scary.
Their advantage over Hua Ruge was that there were other shops that could make money. This way, they could make up for some of the deficit.
However, their deficit was way too much more than Hua Ruge's, and their profits were far from being able to fill the hole in their deficit. Right now, they were also using large amounts of spirit stones to pay for their losses, and their backgrounds were slowly being emptied.
They could only hope that Hua Ruge's Nine Regions Chamber of Commerce would fall as soon as possible.
However, Hua Ruge's Nine Regions Chamber of Commerce was similar to that of an indestructible cockroach. Every day, the shop would be filled with customers and the few million spirit stones that it lost every day was simply unstoppable.
