    While Li You and Shopkeeper Gao were discussing the possibility of retaliation, sixteen other large coal shops in the coal market also gathered in the lobby of the Coal Industry Office and discussed for half an hour the issue of Taisheng Coal Shop disrupting the market.

    Although the respected industry leader Mr. Ye was honored to be scolded by Li You as a shameless old thief, he endured the humiliation and expressed his willingness to take the overall situation into consideration and not care about personal honor or loss.  As long as Taisheng Coal Shop can correct its mistakes and give up the wrong practice of selling coal at low prices, it can still be treated as a friendly colleague.  .

    Someone suggested: "If Taisheng Coal Shop continues to sell coal at low prices, how about we join forces to buy it? All the 16 gang members can gather relatives and friends, and they can always attract hundreds or thousands of people. Even if the purchase is restricted, the price will be reduced."  Half of the problem is not a big deal, as this will reduce the outflow of low-priced coal and affect the market."

    It¡¯s a pity that no one responded to this idea. Firstly, money is tight, and secondly, it seems unnecessary.

    You know, according to the information, the coal in Li You's hand is two months' backlog of production somewhere in the north. It is at least three to four hundred thousand kilograms, and I don't know how much more it is.  If you want to take over the market and support the coal market, you don't have to mention the effort required to break it into pieces and then into wholes. We don't even mention whether Li You will see through it and refuse to sell it. We just say that at least about five thousand taels are needed to prepare for the purchase.

    Under normal circumstances, it would not be difficult for sixteen families to raise five thousand taels.  Nowadays, every family is struggling for money. Although they can scrape together five thousand taels through gritted teeth, no one is very motivated.

    What's more, even if you eat all the coal sold by Taisheng Coal Shop in bits and pieces, what's the point?  No matter who the buyer was, the incident of "Taisheng Coal Shop selling coal at low prices" still happened and fell into the eyes and hearts of the people.  Therefore, the proposal to eat the coal sold by Taisheng Coal Shop was dropped.

    It has to be said that Li You's identity and potential power are still very fearful to these bosses.  Sixteen shopkeepers discussed it until dark before making a decision, giving Taisheng Coal Shop two more days to make corrections!

    In the end, Mr. Ye, the shopkeeper, slapped the table and said in a calm and loud voice: "From my perspective, Li You has also been an official. He has a lot of trouble in his heart. I have already guessed that he must be  You are deliberately bluffing like this to blackmail us for some benefit.

    We can neither blindly take risks and deliberately provoke him, nor can we be intimidated by him and compromise. At present, the main thing to guard against between the two is the fear of surrender!  Otherwise, Li You will succeed!

    All bluffers are paper tigers!  We have to listen to his words, watch his actions, and watch him for two more days!  I don't believe that in this world there is no way to make money without making money.  People who specialize in losing money!  "

    Old shopkeeper Ye has been immersed in the coal market for more than fifty years.  I don¡¯t know how many turmoils he has seen, but what he said was so profound that it seemed to give reassurance to the dozen or so shopkeepers present.  Regain your composure.

    However, on the second and third days, that is, the 17th and 18th of the twelfth lunar month, Taisheng Coal Shop continued to buy coal at low prices.  And continue to maintain the daily amount of 40,000 kilograms.

    As the news gradually spread, more and more people gathered outside Taisheng Coal Shop. On the 18th, more than 10,000 people came to snap up the 40,000 kilograms of coal.  Thick crowds blocked the area around Taisheng Coal Shop.  But unfortunately, only 2,000 people were able to buy coal in the end.

    When most people were disappointed, shopkeeper Gao appeared. He announced that starting from tomorrow, the daily sales volume would increase to 60,000 kilograms, and the price would remain unchanged, and they would still be sold to the public at cost price.  There were cheers immediately.

    Standing in front of the crowd, Shopkeeper Gao meditated on a few words taught to him by his boss, took a deep breath, and before the crowd had dispersed, he suddenly raised his voice and started shouting at the top of his lungs: "Young and old men, listen! I  Taisheng Coal Shop is a coal shop with a conscience! A coal shop with an attitude! A coal shop that cares for the people! Our owner has said that our store has limited financial resources. But we are in the same boat with the people! We would rather lose money than join in with other profiteers.  Harming the people!"

    ????????????????? Thousands of approving eyes came towards me, irritating me. Shopkeeper Gao became excited unconsciously, his face turned red, and he couldn't help but add: "Let the profiteers go to hell!"

    The crowd once again burst into cheers like a mountain roar and a tsunami.  It was even more lively than that time just now.

    Li You stood in the corner and watched, then sighed to his long follower Han Zong: "Shopkeeper Gao tried too hard. After all, he has never experienced a big scene. These voices are too artificial, too stiff, too rough, too harsh."  To put it bluntly, it lacks a heavy bearing."

    Han Zong smiled and said: "We common people just do this. Master, if you go up in person, you may not be better than this. It's not that you are not as good as Mr. Gao. It's because of your dignity that you can't do it in public."??, suggested: "Sooner or later, the coal in Li You's hands will be sold out. How about we wait until he stops singing and then start selling coal safely?"

    Shopkeeper Ye looked around and took in the expressions of everyone, "We can't wait any longer. With the inventory of Taisheng Coal Shop, we can sell tens of thousands of kilograms every day for at least six or seven days. If we continue to wait and see, we will wait until he sells out.  Goods happen to coincide with the New Year. How can we sell coal at that time? If not, we will have to continue to hoard and keep it in our hands. When the Xishan Incident subsides, there will be greater variables, so time is of the essence and we have no time to wait.  Li You is sold out! We have to start tomorrow, and of course we can¡¯t make Li You feel comfortable!¡±
