How can a mere enemy like me?

Chapter 68: See What a Real Phantom God Is

Faced with Su Bai's easy-to-understand explanation, Jun Chaoxi was completely confused.

She never expected that the price of a commodity could bring about so many problems.

At the same time, she didn't expect that the lives of the people would be so...poor. It was a world of difference from her daily life!

How could I have just said with such a high audacity that there was no problem?
How could I say such a thing!

But in stark contrast to her, Su Bai lived a very good life on weekdays. To these common people, Su Bai was also a superior being.

But Su Bai knew it clearly...

He really took these people to heart...

Jun Chaoxi kept silent, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Su Bai was a little different.

And on the panel in front of Su Bai, her favorability towards Su Bai seemed to have increased a little.

The taming of this little lackey fairy has obviously gone a step further.

While Su Bai was investigating prices, Emperor Wu was also facing a new trouble.

Looking through the memorials submitted by the Ministry of Revenue, Emperor Wu was shocked to find that Daxia was also facing financial difficulties!
There's a need for development, there are too many areas that need relief, the treasury doesn't have enough money, and taxes haven't been collected yet...

The accumulation of various reasons has resulted in the situation where such a huge country as Daxia seems to have little silver left.

If it were just that, it would be fine, but the Queen Mother also started to take action at this moment.

When Emperor Wu went to pay his respects to the empress dowager as per custom.

The graceful figure leaning behind the curtain spoke words of criticism to Emperor Wu.

"I heard that the capital has been a bit restless lately. Is it true that even the people of Great Xia are having a hard time?"

"I know Your Majesty is dedicated to governing the country and cannot tolerate any injustice, but Your Majesty is still lacking in experience and experience. It's a bit hasty to be busy replacing court officials after only two or three years."

"Alas...after all, I trusted Your Majesty too much and allowed Your Majesty to do whatever He wanted...If Your Majesty can no longer hold on, I will still be there to protect You. Your Majesty, please do not be silent."

With just a few simple words, the empress dowager not only blamed Emperor Wu for everything that was happening in the capital, but also hinted that she was going to interfere in government affairs.

Looking at the figure behind the curtain in front of him, Emperor Wu's expression remained unchanged, but he couldn't help feeling a little more pressure in his heart.

soon.

All this information fell into Su Bai's hands.

On one hand, there is the dilemma facing Emperor Wu, and on the other hand, there are the out-of-control prices in the capital. No matter which one is not resolved, Su Bai and Emperor Wu will face a huge disaster.

Even Jun Chaoxi, who was watching these, couldn't help but feel anxious.

But Su Bai was not panicked at all.

"Oh, do you really think I have no money and no way to fight you?"

Looking at the reports in front of him, Su Bai sneered and muttered to himself confidently.

Did you really think that I raided your house just to make trouble for you?
Play financial business with me?
Whether it's capital or talent, I'm already prepared.

Looking back at Xiao Yunyun who looked innocent, a smile appeared on Su Bai's lips.

Now is the time to bring out the special value of this business queen!

With Xiao Yunyun's ability, there will definitely be no problem.

Su Bai obviously has high hopes for this phantom god of internal affairs.

After returning to the Su family, Su Bai immediately took action.

First of all, there is no problem with starting capital.

Su Bai still has the Ye family’s assets in his hands.

Even if it were just all the assets of a newly wealthy family, the Ye family's assets would be enormous. In some small towns, they would even be equivalent to the wealth of an entire city.

It is definitely enough to deal with this price crisis.

But just having the start-up capital is not enough. If it is just a competition of money, with so many powerful officials in the capital joining together, Su Bai would not be a match for them even if he lost everything.

If you want to defeat your opponent, you have to make a careful plan and maximize the use of the limited funds in your hands.

Sitting at the desk, Su Bai spread out a piece of white paper, wrote and drew for a while, and then he drew up a rough action plan.

Although prices in the capital are soaring now, in the final analysis, this is just the merchants hoarding goods, creating a situation where goods are scarce and in high demand, thereby driving up prices.

They were able to achieve the current situation because they were certain that the capital, or Emperor Su Baiwu, did not have so many goods in hand to balance the market gap caused by their stockpiling.

What Su Bai has to do is to stage an empty city plan for them.

It doesn’t matter whether I have it or not, but it’s important to make you think I have it.

As long as Su Bai can create the illusion that he has sufficient reserves, those merchants will definitely not be able to hold back.

The reason is simple. Once Su Bai fills the gap in the market and even creates a surplus, prices will probably fall rapidly.

It may even fall below the price they paid for the item.

By then, if they couldn't sell the things they had, they would suffer heavy losses, or even lose everything.

They could bet that Su Bai was just bluffing, or even risk bankruptcy and use their strong willpower to continue delaying until Su Bai's true colors were revealed.

but.

How much money can a businessman’s willpower be worth?

With the risk of loss ahead, they won’t care about anything else and will just make sure that each one sells out faster than the last.

In this way, this crisis can be resolved.

"The method is probably this method. This is just my idea. It can be adjusted, so you don't have to follow my idea." Su Bai gave his action plan to Xiao Yunyun, and his voice was as gentle as possible.

"I will give you a high degree of freedom. If you come up with any good ideas, you can do it."

"Anyway, I'll leave the implementation to you. I believe you can do it."

That's right.

Su Bai intended to entrust this counterattack plan to Xiao Yunyun.

Although she has no experience now and has not even had much exposure to business before.

But talent is unreasonable. Some people can do well in their first encounter even if they have never been exposed to it before as long as they have enough talent.

Xiao Yunyun is obviously such a business genius.

As for internal affairs, we can leave them to the God of Internal Affairs to handle, and there is absolutely no problem with that.

however.

Compared to Su Bai's confidence in Xiao Yunyun.

Xiao Yunyun herself hesitated and did not dare to accept it.

Can I really do it?
Before, she was used as a tool in both the Xiao family and the Ye family.

She was just a tool for family marriage and to build connections for the family. As for her own abilities, no one had ever cared about them, not even she herself had thought about it.

Can I really do such an important thing as I am now?
What if I mess up for Lord Su? Wouldn’t I be delaying Lord Su’s important plans?

After hesitating for a long time, Xiao Yunyun put the action plan on the table and said to Su Bai hesitantly,
"Thank you for your trust, Lord Su, but Yun Yun has never been involved in business and knows nothing about these things. I'm afraid that this will delay Lord Su's important task."

Seeing Su Bai's expression of surprise, Xiao Yunyun hurriedly continued,
"Lord Su has many capable people under his command. Letting them do it would be safer than letting Yun Yun do it..."

By the time she finished speaking, Su Bai's face had completely darkened.

Su Bai naturally knew that this was actually a disguise.

He could see that the little punching bag at this moment was really insecure.

Giving up without even trying shows too much self-doubt.

If the case is serious, strong medicine must be used. If you want her to correct her bad habit, comforting her will not work. You have to do the opposite and give her a severe lesson.

then.

Su Bai stood up and reached out to grab Xiao Yunyun's wrist.

next moment.

Under Xiao Yunyun's confused gaze, Su Bai exerted a little force and pressed Xiao Yunyun onto the table in front of him.

Snapped!
After a slap, Su Bai immediately suppressed the whole person.

"Are you doubting yourself, or are you doubting my judgment?"

"I think you can do it, why do you think you can't?"

"Why, are you saying that I'm blind and I've made a mistake in choosing someone?"

It was called a lesson, but every word Su Bai said was full of trust in Xiao Yunyun.

Xiao Yunyun could naturally hear it, and a sense of warmth inexplicably surged in her heart. She didn't even care that Su Bai was bullying her.

She did not dare to struggle, but turned her head, bit her lip and looked at Su Bai with tears in her eyes, whispering,

"Master Su misunderstood. How dare I question Master Su? I just don't trust myself..."

But before she could finish her words, Su Bai's palm fell again.

Snapped!
After another slap, Su Bai pinched her chin.

"Still trying to argue with me. I trust you very much, but you lack confidence. Aren't you questioning me?"

"I'm telling you, I've handed this matter over to you. You have to do it whether you want to or not!"

"Also, since you have taken over, you must do it well and succeed."

why is it like this!

The bullied guy didn't dare to say anything, but he cried out in his heart.

She clearly didn't have this kind of experience, nor did she have this kind of ability. Although Xiao Yunyun was very happy that Su Bai believed in her, but...

This responsibility is too heavy!

The pressure is too great, I can't handle it at all.

She also wanted to negotiate with Su Bai again and let Su Bai hand this matter over to someone else.

But Su Bai never gave her this opportunity.

Su Bai leaned close to Xiao Yunyun's ear, one hand around her waist, and the other hand gently stroked her cheek.

"If you don't accept it, I will be very angry. As a maid, it is only natural for me to use myself to calm the master down, right?"

This is already a direct threat.

But that’s not all!
Su Bai continued,

"If you don't do well, I won't punish you, but I don't want to let go of the Xiao family you come from."

"Who told them not to cultivate your business abilities? This is their fault, so they should be punished. Why not just do the same as the Ye family? What do you think?"
