Reincarnated as a boss tyrant in the game

After some discussion, they were surprised to discover that, including the Winters family, three fine salt families had been secretly selling off their stocks over the past month.

This discovery shocked them because it also explained why the price of fine salt had suddenly plummeted.

The Winters family and the Vargas family, two families enjoying top aristocratic status in the Imperial City, were also involved.

Although they might be slightly inferior to the Crodo family and the Harron family in terms of heritage and connection with the royal family, their actions undoubtedly had a significant impact on the market.

In the past, although occasionally a top aristocrat would sell off large quantities of fine salt due to financial needs, causing market price fluctuations, the simultaneous sale by multiple top aristocrats was unprecedented.

What was particularly noteworthy was that this included the Winters family and the Vargas family, which were closely related to the Harron family.

This discovery made several people instantly realize the seriousness of the situation.

These families had obviously received inside information, knowing that the downward trend in fine salt prices was irreversible. They were trying to sell off their stocks of fine salt as soon as possible before the news spread completely, in order to reduce losses.

This realization made the faces of several people change drastically. If they continued to hesitate, it would probably be difficult to sell fine salt when the news was completely disclosed.

At that time, their families would face huge economic losses.

So, as soon as the gathering ended, several people hurried back to their families.

Some hurriedly reported the situation to the family's higher-ups, while others quickly contacted middlemen, preparing to sell off the fine salt in their hands as soon as possible.

Similar situations were being staged in every corner of the Imperial City, and a panic about the impending collapse of fine salt prices was rapidly spreading in Lorda City.

Many mid-level families chose to urgently sell off the fine salt in their hands. Since the Harron family and the Fine Salt Guild had suspended external purchases of fine salt, they could only look for other families as buyers. However, in this sensitive period, other families were also taking a wait-and-see attitude and were unwilling to take over easily.

Helpless, the families eager to sell fine salt could only choose to lower prices to increase the possibility of a deal.

In this way, in just a few days, the price of fine salt, which had only slightly declined, began to plummet sharply.

..................

After being ganged up on at the Great Court Assembly, Jackson, whose injuries had not yet healed, wrapped in a coat, sat in the main seat with a沉着 face. Beside him, the core members of the Crodo family gathered, and the atmosphere was凝重.

The Crodo family also has its own chamber of commerce, mainly engaged in fine salt and various daily necessities. Its business spreads throughout the central provinces of the Imperial City, is prosperous and thriving, and the resources traded daily are countless.

In addition, this is also an important hub for the Crodo family to contact all parties, establish relationships, purchase materials, and transmit information.

The Crodo family has a complete intelligence transmission system. Because the empire's territory is vast, intelligence transmission is usually slow, and news often takes a month to return to the family.

"The Fine Salt Guild no longer needs to purchase fine salt from outside, and even plans to further reduce prices."

"The families in the Imperial City are frantically selling fine salt, and prices are plummeting."

In this era of continuous price increases for fine salt, almost every family would hoard some fine salt to earn the price difference.

However, among the entire empire, no family's hoarding of fine salt could compare with that of the Crodo family.

This made the Crodo family bear the brunt of this crisis, facing unprecedented pressure and challenges.

The stockpiles of the other fine salt families combined are only about 50% of the Crodo family's stockpiles.

When the price of fine salt soared, the Crodo family became rich overnight because of this. However, when the price of fine salt plummeted, the biggest losses were naturally theirs.

"The Harron family?" Jackson thought for a moment and broke the silence first: "Haven't we always sent people to monitor the Harron family? Then why were they able to successfully rebuild the fine salt workshop?"

The Crodo family has long been secretly sabotaging the Harron family's workshop construction in order to prevent them from rebuilding the fine salt workshop.

"This is impossible!" Tieriel shook his head with an ugly face: "I have been closely monitoring them, and even the output of the surrounding salt mines is under my surveillance, and I have not found any abnormalities."

"Let's not talk about whether this is a coincidence." Jackson said coldly: "If the panic selling of fine salt continues, the price of fine salt will definitely collapse, and our Crodo family will suffer heavy losses."

Renault, the only eighth-order powerhouse in the Crodo family, nodded approvingly: "Tieriel, just say what you think."

Renault is only eighty years old now, and is in the golden age of an eighth-order mage. He looks like he is just middle-aged, giving people a calm and composed impression, and every movement is full of majesty. His position in the family is second only to Imperial Concubine Nina.

"Yes, uncle." Tieriel knew that this was a great opportunity for him to make a comeback.

He immediately saluted everyone, and then said loudly: "Let's not care whether the Harron family's rebuilding of the fine salt workshop is true or false. Even if it is true, everyone knows the difficulty of refining salt. How much inventory can the Harron family accumulate in such a short period of time? One thousand catties a day? Or two thousand catties? In short, it is very unlikely that they can meet the Imperial City's daily demand of tens of thousands of catties, not to mention that they are transporting it from other places, which means that high freight costs must also be added to the cost."

Tieriel paused, looked around, and saw that everyone was listening to him attentively, he continued: "So, I think the Harron family will definitely not give up buying fine salt in the Imperial City. We should use this opportunity to buy a large amount of fine salt on the market and then hoard it. When the market price stabilizes and the price of fine salt rises, we will sell it again. This will not only make up for our losses, but may even make a fortune."

His proposal immediately aroused deep thought in everyone present. This may be a feasible way for the Crodo family to get out of the current predicament.

"That makes sense." Ancestor Renault's eyes lit up: "The Underwood family sold and hoarded at the same time, and it took decades to slowly accumulate 100,000 catties, while our Crodo family spent so many years to accumulate 200,000 catties. Now this situation is mostly because the Harron family is deliberately lowering prices."
