"Why not?" Kang Miaoqing asked back.

"I think it's fine. She asked for it herself." Boss Wu agreed.

"Okay, I'll try. But I heard that she is also shipping large quantities like us, so I'm afraid we can't come to an agreement." Mrs. Lu said with a worried look on her face.

After Mrs. Lu finished speaking, she asked someone to prepare a car and went directly to Li's house.

Mrs. Lu's maid handed the invitation to the gateman of Li's mansion. After a while, Chuntao arrived at the door and led Mrs. Lu and her maid to the main hall of Yuehuaju.

As soon as she entered the room, Mrs. Lu saw Liu Yuefu sitting high up in the hall, drinking tea from a covered bowl.

Liu Yuefu saw Madam Lu coming in, put down the teacup and said with a smile: "Madam Lu is here, please take a seat."

"Chun Tao, serve the tea." Liu Yuefu continued.

"Madam Li, long time no see. You look better and better." Madam Lu greeted with a smile.

"No way, Madam Lu, you are truly becoming more and more radiant." Liu Yuefu replied politely with a smile.

"Mrs. Lu, you have come all the way from Liyang. Is there anything you want to tell me?" Liu Yuefu asked straight to the point.

"...I am begging you this time on behalf of my disappointing younger brother. He said that you once wanted to buy all his charcoal at the price of three cents per pound, so I came here shamelessly, wanting you to take the charcoal that my brother registered under my name." Mrs. Lu said with a shameless face.

"That was the case before, but now many merchants have come from the west, and the price of charcoal is not worth three cents anymore." Liu Yuefu took a sip of tea and said slowly.

Without waiting for Madam Lu to reply, Liu Yuefu gently put down the teacup in her hand and changed the subject, "It's not impossible for me to buy it at three cents per pound, but I have two conditions."

"Mrs. Li, please speak," said Mrs. Lu.

"First, I want to buy Boss Wu's manor in Daoning Mountain outside Beijing for one thousand taels. Second, Tianchanglou wants to cooperate with me in an event. If possible, we can make a deal." Liu Yuefu said.

"The manor on Daoning Mountain is a good deal at one thousand taels, but it's haunted. Are you sure you want it?" Mrs. Lu said.

"Yes." Liu Yuefu nodded.

In the previous life, this farm was no longer haunted after a while, so Boss Wu sent people to clean the farm, and only then did they discover the hot spring in the farm.

Boss Wu made a lot of money from this hot spring villa. He had Boss Zhu above him, and Boss Zhu had the support of the Queen, so he was not afraid of people's envy.

"Then I'll make the decision. Deal." Mrs. Lu said with a slight smile. She had never thought it would be so smooth.

"It's just that I have to give you the title deed of the manor when I sell the charcoal. And regarding Tianchang Building's cooperation in the event, do I need a written document?" Mrs. Lu asked.

"Of course I need a written document. It will be fine if I give it to you when the land deed is transferred. I will also give you the money at that time."

Mrs. Lu saw that the matter was settled, so she stood up and prepared to leave. She also wanted to go back and tell A-di the good news.

"Alas." Liu Yuefu sighed softly, "I heard that my sister also cooperated with Boss Wu and bought a lot of charcoal?"

Mrs. Lu nodded, "Are you talking about Kang Miaoqing?"

"That's right, she is my biological cousin." Liu Yuefu nodded and said.

"Oh, that's a coincidence. It's true." Mrs. Lu said with a smile.

"Then I'll buy Miaoqing's as well. She has no money to lose." Liu Yuefu said hesitantly.

"Madam Li, you really have a deep sisterly love. I envy you so much." Madam Lu did not have any suspicion. "I will tell Miaoqing when I get back."

After saying this, Mrs. Li said goodbye and left.

When Mrs. Li arrived at Tianchang Building, Boss Wu and Kang Miaoqing surrounded her.

As soon as they entered the private room, Boss Wu hurriedly asked, "Sister, has she agreed?"

"I agree, but I put forward two conditions. I will accept them for you."

"Ah? What are the conditions?"

"One is to buy your manor in Daoning Mountain outside Beijing for one thousand taels, and the other is that Tianchanglou wants to cooperate with her in an event."

"That haunted manor, I was just worried about whether I could leave, but someone actually wanted to go there." Boss Wu snorted and continued, "The activities at Tianchang Building are indeed worthwhile, and this woman is not that stupid."

"Oh, by the way. Miaoqing, I've also taken out your charcoal fire." Mrs. Lu said happily.

"Was it bought by Liu Yuefu?" Kang Miaoqing guessed.

"Yes, you really have a good sister. She is afraid that you can't afford the loss."

Oh, she was pretending to be kind. She was always like this. Who was she being kind to? Kang Miaoqing was speechless about Liu Yuefu. She thought she had changed a little, but she was still as stupid as before.

Soon, Liu Yuefu received a message from Mrs. Lu asking her to deliver the goods the next day.

Liu Yuefu sent an invitation to Mrs. Lu and decided on a location, Liu’s Grocery Store.

The next day, at the beginning of the Si hour, Liu Yuefu had just arrived at Liu's grocery store for a while when Mrs. Lu came.

Chuntao led Mrs. Lu to the room in the backyard of the grocery store, and Mrs. Lu took out three contracts and a receipt from her bosom.

Liu Yuefu signed and sealed one by one, and gave three silver notes, one for two thousand taels to buy Boss Wu's charcoal, one for one thousand taels to buy the manor, and the other for eight hundred taels to buy Kang Miaoqing's charcoal.

The two parties pushed and pushed each other, and the money and goods were settled.

After completing the transaction, Mrs. Lu said goodbye and left.

Soon, a young girl in a sky-blue jacquard blouse walked in from the next room where Liu Yuefu and Madam Lu were dealing. It was none other than Wei Suxin.

"Suxin, thanks to you for helping me this time." Liu Yuefu sincerely held Wei Suxin's hands and said gratefully.

"Stop saying these corny things. Who wants to help you? I'm doing this for our Wei family." Wei Suxin said stubbornly.

However, Liu Yuefu knew that Boss Wu and Kang Miaoqing might not touch Wei's company at all. Besides, Wei's company would have a greater chance of winning if it cooperated with them.

Firstly, it won’t be so troublesome, and secondly, you don’t have to invest money in the early stage to hire people to act. There is no risk, and the profit will only be greater.

However, Wei Suxin did not do that. Instead, she helped herself.

Originally, Liu Yuefu just wanted to develop herself quietly by purchasing charcoal from other places, in order to compete for the pricing power of charcoal in the capital and make life difficult for Kang Miaoqing.

"Now that we have everything, it's time to end this show." Wei Suxin said with a smile.

In fact, there were no such western merchants or large amounts of forest resources suddenly discovered in the west. All of this was just false news released by Wei Suxin and Liu Yuefu.

In order to make the play more realistic and to deceive an old fox like Boss Wu, Wei Suxin specially hired more than ten people to pretend to be charcoal merchants from the west and sell charcoal in the capital and nearby areas.

And pretending that it was not selling well, the market price kept falling. In fact, many of the people who came to buy these charcoal were also invited by Liu Yuefu and Wei Suxin. It was just that they used the money in the left hand to buy the charcoal in the right hand.

The rumor and the acting created a panic in the charcoal market, which also made some small merchants follow suit. As more and more people sold charcoal, the price of charcoal continued to fall, and Boss Wu and Kang Miaoqing could not sit still.

"Then in your opinion, when is the right time to start shipping in large quantities?" Liu Yuefu asked. She was even looking forward to Kang Miaoqing's expression when she knew the truth.
