Chapter 143: It’s too late _1

Translator: 549690339

The business opportunity of doing business was very important. Grasping the business opportunity could make a lot of money, but at the same time, how to grasp the business opportunity was also very important. Grasping the business opportunity meant that you had to take action at the right time, otherwise, you would not achieve the expected effect.

Compared to business opportunities, it was more important to grasp them. How did those successful merchants earn money? They were just taking advantage of the situation. People needed this thing in the first place, so they added some tricks to maximize the benefits.

The merchants were just waiting for an opportunity. When the time came, they would release the news, and then the price of food would rise again, and they would be able to make a lot of money.

What kun Zheng and Laura did not understand was why the Versailles family had not responded yet. Could it be that they had enough food to deal with the crisis this time? Or did they exterminate the insect disaster?

No, it couldn’t be. These days, Laura had been sending letters to the galloping bull Castle. The insect disaster there didn’t get better. Instead, it got worse. In just a few days, it was said that tens of thousands of mu of wheat fields had been destroyed. The most important thing was that the Versailles clan didn’t have any effective means to eradicate the insect disaster.

Just as kun and Laura were discussing how to deal with the current situation in the study, a servant suddenly walked in from outside and bowed to Laura. &Quot; “Young lady, the external Affairs elder of the Versailles Clan requests an audience.”

Laura and kun looked at each other and saw a trace of impatience in each other’s eyes. They did not expect the Versailles family to be so slow to react. They only thought of looking for them now, but it was already too late.

They didn’t know that the Versailles family thought that they could put an end to the insect disaster very quickly, so they weren’t too worried. However, they soon realized that they were wrong. The insect disaster this time was more terrible than any they had ever encountered. They had sent out all the forces they could, but they still couldn’t put an end to the insect disaster. Now, it had reached an irredeemable stage.

At this moment, the Versailles family thought of amassing more grain to deal with the upcoming crop failure. The Versailles family had encountered such a situation a few times before, so they immediately thought of it. They immediately discussed with the merchant associations to see if they could prepare more grain to deal with the upcoming grain crisis.

However, what the Versailles family didn’t expect was that the large Chambers of Commerce didn’t give a clear answer this time. On the contrary, they were all trying to change the subject, which gave the Versailles family a bad feeling.

The Versailles family had no other choice. Although they had encountered a few food crises before, they were not as serious as this one. They were very clear that this time, the ika Plains might go out of production. This was a situation that they had never encountered before.

It was precisely because of this that their reaction was a beat slower than the large trading companies. Those large trading companies were already prepared to make a fortune in the Versailles Duchy. How could they let go of this opportunity?

The Versailles family was one step behind, and they were already under control. This time, the person sent by the Versailles family to contact Laura was an elder of their family who was in charge of External Affairs. He had a very high status, and his name was Steen Versailles.

Laura naturally knew why he had come, so she had no choice but to welcome him. As Stern’s status was very high, he had already been invited to the living room.

When Laura and kun arrived at the living room, stern was drinking Coke. Although the Versailles family was in a crisis, as an elder of a large family, Stern’s self-control was still pretty good.

Previously, he had already contacted people from other large trading companies, but the results were not ideal. They were all trying to change the topic. With Stern’s experience, he could tell at a glance that the other party was stalling for time. It was obvious that they wanted to make a fortune from the Versailles family this time.

Although stern was very angry with the actions of those large trading companies, he could not say anything because of their strong power. However, stern believed that the Versailles family would definitely be able to survive this crisis. After all, the accumulation of the Versailles family over a thousand years was no joke.

This time, the major merchants would be able to earn a huge sum of money and cause the Versailles family to suffer considerable losses. However, it was impossible for them to shake the foundation of the Versailles family. As long as they didn’t shake the foundation of the Versailles family, they would have a chance to get back the money.

Don’t forget, the Versailles family’s territory was now a duchy. If they wanted to do business here, they had to pay taxes to the Versailles family. This time, these large merchants could make a lot of money, but if they wanted to do business in the Versailles Duchy in the future, the Versailles family would make them pay high taxes. Sooner or later, they would make up for today’s losses.

Stern did not understand why those big merchants would go against the Versailles family this time. Could it be just for money? He didn’t believe it.

Those large trading companies had existed on the continent for so many years for a reason. They should not have made such a mistake, right? Did they really want to destroy the Versailles family?

Sturn kept thinking about these things, but his face was as calm as usual. He was in charge of the Versailles family’s External Affairs, and he had long been trained to remain calm even if a mountain collapsed in front of him.

At this moment, the sound of footsteps could be heard. Stern looked up and saw Laura and kun Zheng. The Paramita flower trading company was considered a large trading company in the Versailles Duchy, so stern naturally recognized Laura and kun Zheng.

Stern also understood Laura’s situation. She also knew that Laura’s status in the business world in the Versailles Duchy was not very high, and those large trading companies did not take them seriously. However, the red spider lily trading company had quite a bit of influence in the Versailles Duchy.

As soon as Laura entered the room, she saluted to sixingen and said, ” “Laura greets elder stern. Sorry for making you wait. Please forgive me.”

Stern didn’t dare to act arrogantly. He quickly stood up, bowed to Laura, and said, ” &Quot; Miss Laura, you’re too polite. I’m sorry for visiting you today. Please forgive me. &Quot; Kun Zheng and stern greeted each other as well. In the Versailles Duchy, almost everyone knew about kun Zheng’s status, so stern naturally did not dare to slight him.

After they sat down, Laura looked at Stehn and said, ” &Quot; elder stern, Laura knows why you’re here. However, to be honest, I can’t help you with this matter. &Quot;

Stern didn’t expect Laura to be so direct. This was the first time he had encountered such a situation. When dealing with the managers of other trading companies, all of them were wily old foxes. They would always talk about trivial matters for a long time before getting to the main topic. He didn’t expect Laura to go straight to the point.

Stern looked at Laura in confusion and said, ” “Miss Laura, what do you mean by that?”

Laura looked at stern and smiled bitterly. &Quot; &Quot; to be honest, elder stern, when I received the news from the ika Plains, I was prepared to collect more grain to stabilize the grain prices in the Versailles Duchy. However, I didn’t expect those people to have already taken action. When I wanted to collect grain, the surrounding grain prices had already started to rise. I wanted to buy grain at a fair price, but I couldn’t. To be honest, the stock of our red spider lily trading company can only be sold for seven more days. Our red spider lily shop would have no more food to sell.”

Stern looked at Laura, wanting to know if she was telling the truth. In fact, stern had already believed her words, not for any other reason, but because Laura had gone straight to the point and did not stray from the topic.

“Miss Laura, are you serious?” stern asked as he looked at her.

Lola smiled bitterly and said, ” it’s true, it can’t be true. Elder stern, you probably know what kind of person my father is. This time, my father wanted me to stabilize the grain price. It’s a pity that the money I have on hand is not enough to fight with those people. A while ago, I wanted to discuss with them and have everyone work together to stabilize the grain price here at Duke Versailles ‘place. However, I was rejected. I really had no choice. &Quot;

Stern’s face darkened, and he snorted. &Quot; &Quot; it’s not that easy to take advantage of our Versailles family. As long as Miss Laura doesn’t participate in the matter of raising the price of food, the Versailles family will not mistreat her in the future. &Quot;

Laura smiled bitterly and said, ” I’ll thank you first, elder stern. To be honest, I really can’t be of any help this time. However, I’ll try my best to find a source of food. If there’s any progress, I’ll definitely inform the Versailles family. Elder stern, please don’t worry. &Quot;

Stern looked at Laura. &Quot; I, stern, would like to thank Miss Laura on behalf of the Versailles family. If Miss Laura can find a source of food, the Versailles family is willing to support her financially. &Quot;

Laura said seriously, ” don’t worry, elder stern. If there’s really a source of food, I’ll definitely do my best to stabilize the food prices. This isn’t just for the Versailles family. It’s also for the civilians of the Versailles Duchy. &Quot;

Stern stood up and said to Laura and kun Zheng, ” &Quot; I’ll take my leave then. I hope Miss Laura will keep her promise. &Quot; After he finished speaking, he bowed to the two of them and turned around to leave.

Laura and kun didn’t stop him. They were also worried about the food problem. Just as Laura had said, the red spider lily store only had seven days ‘worth of food left. If they couldn’t find cheap food after seven days, they would have to buy more expensive food, which would increase the price of food.

However, they had no other choice. The prices of grain in the nearby grain-producing areas had been raised by the large trading companies. It was impossible to buy grain at a fair price. If they bought grain from a distant place, coupled with the cost of transportation, it was almost the same as buying high-priced grain from nearby areas.

Another two days passed, but Laura and the rest still could not find any food sources. Laura took the letter from her subordinate and turned to kun Zheng with a bitter smile.”Grandpa kun Zheng, it looks like the grain price is really going to go up this time.”
