Wow! My wife is beautiful and obedient, everyone envies her!

After Kyle returned to Davis’s house, he immediately told Noah the news he had learned from Croft.

Noah was also somewhat surprised to hear the news: "The Leopold family is really good at hiding things. Such a big plan, if it weren't for Yuan, we don't know how long we would have been kept in the dark. Maybe we wouldn't have found out until he actually made it."

Kyle looked at Noah with a puzzled expression and asked, "Patriarch, do you really think it's possible to create a sound that can instantly travel to a distant place?"

Noah glanced at Kyle and chuckled, “When we were kids, we wondered if there was anything that could make a house as bright as day in the dark without using candles. Then, when we were thirteen, electricity appeared, and with electricity, electric lights and the like came along too.”

"There are also advancements in natural gas. We never imagined that there was a way to ignite air and provide us with warmth, so it's not surprising that tools now exist that can instantly transmit sound hundreds or thousands of meters away."

Noah never believed that what he couldn't do, no one else could do either.

Many miracles have already occurred in the North, so it is not surprising that more miracles will happen in the future.

"Master, should we send someone to keep an eye on things?"

Kyle no longer doubted whether Croft could make it.

What they need to do now is keep an eye on each other.

"Send someone to keep an eye on it. If they can really do it, invite Croft over."

Kyle hesitated for a moment, "Master, Croft and Mr. Qi Yuan seem to have become good friends. If you bring them here by force..."

“There are good and bad ways of binding people, so let’s be gentle. Besides, we don’t know how long it will take the Leopold family to make something like this. Maybe by the time it’s finished, A-Yuan and Croft will no longer be friends.”

Kyle nodded: "The patriarch is right."

Noah suddenly smiled slightly and looked at Kyle, "Kyle, isn't my darling amazing?"

Kyle looked up at the expectant expression on Noah's face and smiled.

"Mr. Qi Yuan is indeed remarkable. Putting aside the delicious food he makes, he also found out about the Leopold family's secret plans for us, giving us an early warning. That alone is impressive enough."

This is the kind of praise Noah wanted to hear.

He said with satisfaction, "Doing good deeds occasionally has its benefits; this is probably what they mean by 'good people are rewarded.'"

At this point, Kyle continued to flatter, "That's a good thing. Ever since you lowered the gas price back to the original price, many residents of Juecheng have switched to the Davis family's gas supply. New users will sign contracts with us, and once they start using the service, they will sign a three-year contract. For the next three years, eighty percent of Juecheng's residents will use the Davis family's gas supply."

Eighty percent of the gas supply is equivalent to the entire city's residents using the Davis family's gas, because the remaining twenty percent should be the gas supply for the shops and companies of the other three major families.

With so many residents using Davis's gas over the next three years, the profits generated will be substantial.

Chad initially intended to confront Noah about this issue, but upon seeing that all the residents in the city used their own gas, he realized that the losses would be recovered in a month, so he withdrew from his plan to cause trouble.

“Sera from the Milne family asked me if I wanted to buy natural gas from them, thinking of coming in and getting a share of the profits with us.” Noah showed Kyle a document.

Kyle was slightly taken aback when he saw the document. "Why would Ms. Sera be willing to back down?"

"No one uses their gas, but they're still extracting natural gas. How long are they going to store it if they don't use it?"

Natural gas cannot be stored for more than eight months. Once it expires, the temperature of the fire will drop, and it will slowly turn into waste gas.

Furthermore, given the current technological context of this world, natural gas will become waste gas after six months.

The other three families, not wanting their natural gas to expire, only had two options.

One option is to build new pipelines to transport natural gas from Juecheng to other cities for sale. However, building pipelines is expensive and time-consuming, and given the current heavy snowfall, it's the time when people need natural gas the most.

By the time the pipeline reaches other cities, it might already be spring.

The second option was to partner with the Davis family, entrusting them with selling gas and giving up a small portion of their profits.

Otherwise, if we don't cooperate, their natural gas will really become waste gas.

Kyle never expected that Noah's method of adjusting prices would allow the Davis family to profit so much.

"Master, what if they also engage in a price war?" Kyle asked.

Noah smiled smugly. "Then we still make a profit. The customers who signed the contract paid three months' gas bills in advance. Unless we breach the contract, we don't have to refund those three months' gas bills. But if they breach the contract, we don't have to refund them. The price of gas is fixed and it's hard to lower it any further. Wasn't the previous price increase because they felt they weren't making enough money? If it drops any further, they'll lose money."

"This isn't just losing money, it's a huge loss!" Kyle suddenly exclaimed excitedly. "Unless they're willing to compensate customers for three months' worth of gas bills while lowering the price, who would want to lose money using their gas!"

"So, Sera, unable to find a solution, came to me for cooperation? Send people to keep an eye on Leopold and the Clarence family and see how they will handle the remaining natural gas."

"Yes!"

Kyle was overjoyed.

He thought that finding a way to make the other three families suffer would require a lot of effort.

Unexpectedly, a gas price correction caused them to lose a lot of money.

The key issue is that the three major families are too slow to recover and defend.

While Noah was busy criticizing him for adjusting prices, no one followed suit with the same policy, so much so that the residents of Juecheng only realized what was happening after they had already signed gas contracts with the Davis family.

Now all the residents of Juecheng use Davis's gas, so no one uses theirs, and the gas can only be stored for about five months.

The Davis family's contract is for three years.

If they don't cooperate with the Davis family, they can only deliver natural gas to other cities, but that will definitely cost them more money.

Partnering with the Davis family is tantamount to giving them money.

This tiny gas cylinder is now like a thorn stuck in the chest of the three major families.

“Kyle, do you think my baby is some kind of lucky charm?” Noah suddenly asked.

Kyle knew immediately that this guy was about to praise her again.

However, this time he didn't just try to flatter him; instead, he began to analyze the situation seriously.

“Master, Mr. Qi Yuan is a very intelligent and kind person. I didn’t realize it before, but after following him to manage the restaurant these past two days, I’ve discovered that he is indeed very smart. He researches and considers the market before selling any dishes. Most importantly, he is kind.”

"He took in homeless people resting in the shop as restaurant employees, giving them a job and a chance to survive. This is no exaggeration. Winter came early this year and was much colder than usual. In such a snowy weather, I don't know how many of those penniless homeless people would have frozen to death. Mr. Qi Yuan took them in, which is equivalent to saving their lives."

"I saw that some employees looked at Mr. Qi Yuan with eyes full of gratitude. I think that if Mr. Qi Yuan encountered any trouble, they would definitely stand in front of him without hesitation. Kindness can sometimes be annoying because some kindness can bring bad consequences. But Mr. Qi Yuan is wary of bad consequences while being kind. So I think Mr. Qi Yuan is a really good person!"

Kyle was generous with his praise, sincerely complimenting Qi Yuan.

He knew that Noah made the decision to adjust gas prices because of Qi Yuan.

This decision allowed the Davis family to make a steady fortune for three years.

Meanwhile, Qi Yuan's restaurant helped them find out about the major events the Leopold family was currently undertaking. Although it was a coincidence, it was all due to Qi Yuan's kindness.

Kyle's previous impression of Qi Yuan was that he was just a guy the family head had taken a liking to.

But now he understands why Noah is becoming increasingly love-obsessed.
