    Unknowingly, the attitude of Li Daguan, the shopkeeper of the major coal shops, quietly changed several times, from ignorance to concern, and from concern to awe.  In business, money is equal to status. A person who can give out one hundred thousand taels of silver is certainly worthy of respect, whether it is borrowed or not.

    Li You could easily force them to shut down the market just by controlling public opinion. Perhaps he could comfort himself by saying that public opinion in the market was not the key factor. Now Li You had an extra 100,000 taels of silver in his hand, enough to kill them dozens of times in an instant.  What else is there to say?

    Although Li You looked expressionless and calm at this time, as if one hundred thousand taels of silver was nothing, he felt extremely comfortable - it felt so good to knock someone unconscious with money!  It¡¯s a different kind of pleasure than being an official!  Just like in the sentence "With a hundred thousand guan tied around the waist, riding a crane to Yangzhou", the cool thing is that the 100,000 guan is not going to Yangzhou.

    In fact, it was enough to ask shopkeeper Gao to come forward and announce the acquisition news at the office. As the owner, Li You did not have to do it himself.  However, Li Daguan was often short of money in his life. Later, when he became an official, he couldn't be too tacky. It was rare to experience the pleasure of throwing money at someone, so he came in person in vain.

    His goal was achieved. After personally releasing this shocking number, Li You intuitively felt the changes in other people's attitudes towards him, which was very subtle.

    Mr. Ye, the shopkeeper sitting first on the left side of Li You, was the first to wake up from the number of one hundred thousand taels and also noticed the abnormality.  He immediately realized that Li You came here just to show off the funds he controlled. As for the purpose, of course it was to kill his heart!  Use huge amounts of money to break people's hearts and create instability!

    Li You felt that the method had worked, so he stood up and cupped his hands around him, "That's all. Farewell!" Then he led shopkeeper Gao out of the lobby.

    The shopkeepers watched Li Daguan leave with one hundred thousand taels in his arms, and then they started talking to each other. Naturally, the topic couldn't be separated from Li You and his one hundred thousand taels, and the hall was filled with people.

    Are the consequences already showing?  Mr. Ye, the leader of the Coal Industry Association, frowned secretly.  If you put it in normal times.  Everyone must have turned their heads and asked themselves what to do instead of discussing on their own. This has been going on for half a quarter of an hour.  Maybe everyone did it unintentionally.  But there is an inevitable behind the accident, and this kind of accident can also reflect many situations.

    ¡°Perhaps I¡¯m sensitive and overthinking it,¡± the old shopkeeper coughed heavily as he thought about it.

    The shopkeepers turned their attention to Mr. Ye again, waiting for his insights.  I could see the old leader frowning in thought sometimes, and then relaxing his brows, as if he had endless thoughts.

    In the end, shopkeeper Ye waved his hand and said calmly: "This is our plan. There is no other way. We have to ask the princes." He defeated the Ten Clubs with one force and faced Ju Wu who held one hundred thousand cash in hand.  Damn it, how can poor people like them, who are short of money, be able to fight with shopping mall methods

    On the way back to Taisheng Coal Shop, shopkeeper Gao felt extremely proud.  He has been a shopkeeper all his life and always has thousands of taels of money in his hands.  Now it seems that I have the opportunity to become the big shopkeeper in charge of one hundred thousand silver, and I will have no regrets in this life!

    Thinking of this, he admired Li Daguan very much and said: "My boss is indeed very capable. He can easily mobilize one hundred thousand taels of silver, which is enough to sweep the coal market."

    Li You shook his head, "Even you were fooled? This loan voucher looks genuine, but in fact it is only for others to see. How can you really get a loan of 100,000 taels of silver? It would be good to have 20,000 to 30,000 taels."

    Hearing this, Shopkeeper Gao was dumbfounded. It turned out that the loan voucher of one hundred thousand taels was just a worthless thing

    Huichang Bank is a small bank.  In the past, credit was mainly guaranteed by the Lu family, but now there are only a few hundred thousand taels of silver in the counter.  The Gou family promised to find 200,000 taels of silver to deposit, but they haven't collected enough yet.

    Li You could use Taisheng Coal Shop as a mortgage and borrow eight thousand taels from Huichang Bank, but if he wanted to get one hundred thousand taels, he would almost have to empty the bank.  How can this be?

    So the IOU promising 100,000 taels in Li Daguan's hand looks very scary, but in fact it is similar to the IOU, it is just a picture of a cake to satisfy hunger or a paper tiger to scare people.

    Shopkeeper Gao¡¯s dream of handling one hundred thousand silver only appeared for a quarter of an hour and was quickly shattered.  At the same time, he also suddenly realized why the purchase price offered by his boss to the owner of Zhongmei Shop was neither three taels nor one tael, but such a tangled price of two taels.

    The current average hoarding cost is about one tael or seven dollars. If the price of one tael is offered, the coal shop owners will not consider losing money for the time being. Instead, they will wonder whether Mr. Li Daguan has so much money. Otherwise, why would he be so stingy about it?  Such a low price.

    "If you offer a price of three taels, and you can pay cash, I'm afraid the coal shopkeepers will cry and shout to sell it.  Rather than selling it piecemeal for 4 taels, it would be better to sell all the coal to Li You in one go for 3 taels. It would be worth making less.

    As for the guild if it dares to stop it, it¡¯s nonsense. Shopkeeper Gao knows very well that it¡¯s true."What are you fighting for?" Eunuch Huang didn't react.

    Several domestic slaves who had been arranged to wait nearby suddenly all started to attack. Han Zong was the leader, and they used magic tricks to get wooden sticks from the corner and under the table, and tightly surrounded Eunuch Huang and the two attendants, the small eunuch, and covered their faces with each other.  Hit him hard.

    Eunuch Huang was unprepared. He did not expect to be violently attacked.  After a few rounds, he fell to the ground, but the evil slave of the Li family still refused to stop. He was beaten and kicked until his skin was bruised and his body was bruised. His screams for mercy were ignored.  But the other two little eunuchs were knocked aside and ignored, and their punishment was much lighter.

    The slaves of the Li family who were surrounding Eunuch Huang got out of the way. Li You walked over and squatted beside Eunuch Huang¡¯s head, mockingly saying, ¡°I¡¯ve already disliked you, and you¡¯re asking for trouble!¡±

    Then he shouted to the two young eunuchs: "Get up and carry Eunuch Huang away! Don't dirty the floor tiles here!"
