Thinking of Funina, Lin Yide's mouth corners unconsciously raised slightly, revealing a deep smile.

"Father, if you have time, you should go back to Fontaine. Now that we have Tevarin, a round trip will only take two or three days at most." Linnet suggested softly.

After hearing this, Lin Yide couldn't help but feel a little moved, but he still shook his head slightly and rejected the proposal.

Although it wouldn't take much time to go back and forth, he knew very well that once he met Funina, the emotions that would be like dry wood meeting a raging fire would be difficult to contain.

The pain of missing someone is hard to dispel without several days and nights of deep affection.

Just as he was thinking, the shop door was pushed open, and Xingyun, the president of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce, walked quickly to Lin Yide.

"Boss Yide, the price of grain has gone up! It has risen from 100 morats per catty to 120 morats. We have made a lot of money." His face was filled with a joyful smile.

Lin Yide's expression did not change much after hearing this. He asked calmly: "So, in your opinion, how should we deal with this situation?"

Xingyun said without hesitation: “We should seize the opportunity to increase grain purchases and further push up grain prices.

When the price reaches a peak, we will slowly start selling.”

Lin Yide smiled slightly, but gave a different opinion: "We don't need to be too aggressive, just maintain the current acquisition pace."

Xingyun couldn't help but frown when he heard this, and said with a hint of reluctance: "This is obviously a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Liyue's food supply is already in short supply. As long as we make a little effort, we will soon be able to control the pricing power of the entire food market."

We just need to step up our efforts, and soon, the entire grain pricing power will be in our hands.”

Lin Yide stared at him expressionlessly, "What I said just now was not a discussion with you."

Hearing this, Xingyun's expression changed several times. Finally, he forced a smile and responded in a slightly stiff tone: "Boss Yide, I understand what you mean."

After saying that, he turned and left with a feeling of reluctance and helplessness.

Looking at Xingyun's departing back, Linnet asked in confusion: "Father, why don't you accept his advice?

This way we can not only earn huge profits, but also use this opportunity to force Ningguang to bow to us."

Lin Yide explained calmly, "Although the Liyue Seven Stars are greedy, they are by no means foolish. On the contrary, they are extremely shrewd.

They had already seen through our intention to purchase large quantities of grain.

The rapid rise in food prices this time is not the result of natural market adjustments, but is the result of their secret manipulation behind the scenes."

Linnet's eyes flashed with surprise. "But shouldn't the Seven Stars work hard to stabilize food prices? How come they are pushing up food prices instead?"

Lin Yide showed a disdainful expression on his face, “Because they are businessmen, they are keen to defeat their opponents in business wars and earn more Mora.

They are inducing us to keep buying food at high prices.

Then, when we can no longer afford to buy, they suddenly sell in large quantities, causing prices to plummet.

We will lose everything we have invested.”

Linnet suddenly realized, and she continued to ask: "Then how should we deal with it?

It's obvious that Xingyun is ready to fall into the trap they set."

Lin Yide said calmly: "It must be separated from Xingyun.

In the near future, food prices will see another round of sharp increases, and we need to sell all the food we have before the price reaches its highest point.

Then, we slowly start buying as prices plummet, and when prices reach their lowest point, we buy them all, no matter what the price is.”

Linnet was still a little confused, "Father, why don't we buy it all at once at the lowest price?"

Lin Yide patiently explained: "Because our gradual purchase will give the other party a false impression that we are still resisting stubbornly.

That way they will continue to sell aggressively, driving prices down further.”

Linnet suddenly understood after hearing this: "Father, I understand."

"Really?" Lin Yide said with a smile, "In that case, I'll leave this matter to you."

Linnet was startled and her face fell into a kittenish look.

On the bustling streets of Liyue, in a quiet tea pavilion.

Zhongli frowned slightly and said with a hint of displeasure in his tone: "Ide, the price of food has soared too much recently. Now it has reached a high price of 150 Mora per catty."

Lin Yide gently sipped the freshly brewed Chenyugu fragrant tea, then put down the teacup, spread his hands, and responded helplessly: "Qixing insisted on playing this way, I can't do anything about it."

When talking about the Seven Stars, Zhongli's eyes revealed deep disappointment.

Qixing never considered how serious negative impact the sharp rise in food prices would bring to people at the bottom of society.

Although on the surface it appears that the price of food has only increased by 50 Mora per kilogram, in fact, this change will trigger a chain reaction in overall prices.

However, people's salary levels are unlikely to increase in the short term.

He looked at Lin Yide calmly and said firmly: "Food prices cannot continue to rise endlessly like this, otherwise, a large number of people living in poverty will fall into hunger."

Lin Yide solemnly promised: "I will try my best to keep food prices within a stable and reasonable range."

Zhongli pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "Do you remember the commission issue we discussed last time?

I now need to advance some Mora."

Lin Yide immediately understood Zhongli's intention. He took out a golden Fontaine Bank card from his system space and handed it to Zhongli: "There are 1 billion Mora in it, which should be enough for you to help those people who are living in poverty."

Zhongli took the bank card and put it away.

Lin Yide continued: "I have a suggestion. You can consider setting up an organization called 'Molax Foundation' to specifically fund the lower-class people."

Zhongli thought for a moment and said, "This is indeed a very good suggestion. I will seriously consider it."

Then, Lin Yide directed the topic to another direction, "Emperor, can you introduce me to the immortals of Liyue?"

Zhongli looked at him deeply and said earnestly: "Yide, although you have the potential to cultivate immortality, unfortunately, you have missed the best age for cultivation. It may not be easy to achieve significant achievements on the road of cultivation.

Furthermore, with your current strength, you are already superior to ordinary immortals."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yide hurriedly clarified: “Emperor, you misunderstood my intention.

I have no intention of cultivating immortality, but I hope to bring the immortals of Liyue to the mortal world and manage this land together with the mortals."
