Genshin Impact: What? The one we need to save is Fukaros

"President Linnet, I beg you to save our Feiyun Chamber of Commerce. From now on, no matter what Lord Ide tells me to do, I will obey him without hesitation." Xingyun spoke earnestly, his tone full of pleading.

But Linnet was indifferent.

Since becoming vice president of the Funina Foundation, she has experienced too many similar scenes.

She said in a calm tone: "President Xingyun, my father has clearly instructed you to purchase grain at a normal pace.

However, you were blinded by momentary greed and secretly purchased a large amount of grain, even withholding a batch of grain that should have been shipped to Port Fude.

I have to say, you are really cunning."

Xingyun looked embarrassed. It was really humiliating for him to be scolded by a girl who was about the same age as his son.

Despite this, he could not get angry and could only beg for forgiveness humbly.

"President Linnet, please give Feiyun Chamber of Commerce another chance."

As he spoke, he stood up from his chair, bent his trembling legs, and prepared to kneel.

Linnet frowned slightly, feeling contempt for Xingyun's servile attitude.

But she still quickly stepped forward to support him and said softly, "President Xingyun, there is no need to do this.

The Funina Foundation is willing to lend a helping hand and help Feiyun Chamber of Commerce overcome this difficult time.

But we have one condition.”

Xingyun responded eagerly: "I am willing to accept any conditions."

Linnet slowly extended her finger and pointed at Xingqiu next to her. "Our condition is that Xingqiu joins the West Factory."

Xingqiu's eyes widened when he heard this, and he asked in disbelief, "Why?"

Linnet looked at him deeply and answered seriously, "Because you are a true genius. Even the contemporary Tianquan Ningguang is far inferior to you in the future. My father values ​​your potential and talent very much."

Hearing this, Xingyun felt a mixture of emotions.

He has always favored his eldest son Xingchun, who is passionate about business, and has paid relatively less attention to and training Xingqiu.

He even imagined that Xingqiu's future would be just that of a wealthy and idle person.

At this moment, he looked at Xingqiu, his eyes full of pleading and expectation.

Xingqiu felt his gaze, sighed inwardly, and said helplessly: "President Linnet, I am willing to join the West Factory, but there is one thing I must make clear, I will never do anything that goes against chivalrous ethics."

Linnet chuckled and said with a slightly mocking tone: "Don't worry, although the methods of the West Factory may seem cruel, we are more chivalrous than the Seven Stars in our actions."

Afterwards, Linnett, on behalf of the Funina Foundation, took over all the remaining food in Xingyun's hands at a price of one hundred and thirty Mora per kilogram.

Although this price is far lower than Xingyun’s cost price, it is already very fair compared to the market conditions.

After all, if Xingyun sold the grains on his own, the market price would likely collapse in an instant, and might even fall below one hundred molas per catty.

Qunyu Pavilion.

In the gorgeous bedroom, Ningguang and Beidou sat opposite each other. Between them was an exquisite chessboard covered with black and white chess pieces.

The house is elegantly decorated, and every detail reveals luxury and taste.

At this moment, the two players were obviously not fully immersed in the game.

Beidou frowned and slowly put the black piece in his hand back into the chess pot. "Ningguang, I don't agree with the decisions you made recently. The sharp rise and fall of food prices has had a great impact on the daily lives of ordinary people."

When Ningguang heard this, she raised her eyes from the chessboard and stared at Beidou, a trace of disappointment flashing in her eyes. "Beidou, I haven't seen you for a long time. Did you come to me just to criticize me?"

Beidou shook his head gently, "No, I'm not here just for this. I'm more worried about you."

Hearing this, Ningguang's heart trembled, and then a warm current surged up.

The expression on her face gradually softened and she smiled brightly, "Beidou, you know, what really matters to me is never wealth and power, but..."

"Ningguang," Beidou interrupted her in time, "some things are better kept in your heart."

Ningguang nodded and didn't say anything else.

In this world, some things are better left unsaid, because once spoken out, they may lose their preciousness and purity, and both parties may also lose their last way out.

Beidou then changed the subject, "Ningguang, I sincerely suggest that you consider peace talks with the West Factory."

Ningguang raised her eyebrows after hearing this, revealing her attitude of dissatisfaction, "I am in the upper hand now. Even if we want to negotiate, it is the West Factory that should come to me."

Beidou continued to persuade: "Ningguang, I have a strong feeling that you might lose miserably."

“Oh?” Ningguang chuckled and said with a hint of challenge, “Then I’d like to see with my own eyes how badly I will lose.”

Seeing Ningguang so determined, Beidou knew that saying more would be useless, so he chose to remain silent.

Just then, Ningguang's secretary Bai Shi walked in gracefully.

She walked over to Ningguang and reported respectfully, "Lord Ningguang, the price of grain has rebounded again and has now risen to 160 Mora."

Ningguang frowned slightly. In her expectation, due to her selling pressure, the price of grain should fall below 150 Mora.

Now the price has rebounded, which shows that Xingyun is still resisting.

A scornful smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, as if she was mocking Xingyun's arrogance.

She gave Bai Shi an order in a cold tone: "Lower the price of grain to 120 Mora, and sell it without limit. I want to see how he can continue to raise the price."

Bai Shi hesitated, "Lord Ningguang, we have sold a quarter of our grain reserves. If we continue to sell off in large quantities like this, I'm afraid..."

Ningguang waved her hand. "Don't worry. Xingyun's capital chain will soon be broken. When that happens, all the food he has piled up in the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce's warehouse will have to be sold at a low price."

When Bai Shi heard the order, he immediately turned around and hurried away to carry out Ningguang's instructions.

The next morning, the price of food in Liyue once again experienced a new round of plummeting prices, falling directly from the 160 Mora that had just stabilized to 120 Mora.

Moreover, the food seemed to be endless and no matter how much you bought, you could never buy it all.

The price of grain was fixed at one hundred and twenty moras per pound.

Countless businessmen who participated in this food war lost all their money.

But there are also many people who make a lot of money, such as Kaiyang among the Seven Stars.

He was now extremely wealthy and went to the most famous den of luxury in Liyue - Zhudian Fang, and selected all the beauties listed in the Record of Treasures in one breath, enjoying a night of luxury.

However, what no one noticed was that the Funina Foundation was purchasing food at a faster speed.
