Chapter 460: There are rats in the Immortal League.
Chapter 458 – The Immortal Alliance Has Rats
Jiao Xiuyuan said with some excitement, “What you mean is that at that time, even if someone sells them the Puxian True Leaf at an outrageous price, they will have to buy it with their nose pinched in order to fulfill the agreement of handing it back?”
“And if we eat up most of the share of Puxian True Leaves in the market in advance, forcing the other party backwards ……”
“I’m afraid that we can easily profit several times over!”
“Wonderful!” After figuring out the joints, Jiao Xiuyuan slammed his thigh and couldn’t help but exclaim.
“Fellow Daoist Jiao deserves to be a genius in business!” Li Fan nodded and praised.
Without taking Li Fan’s compliments to heart, Jiao Xiuyuan’s expression changed as he frowned and thought carefully for a moment.
The uplifted look on his face, however, slowly disappeared as he shook his head and said, “Fellow Daoist’s idea is indeed brilliant, but it seems to be too idealized.”
“What if when the other party borrowed the Puxian True Leaf on credit, the deed they signed had a clause that could be returned with an equivalent contribution?”
“What if the other party is unwilling to buy back the Puxian True Leaf again even if they spared the backlash of breaking the contract?”
“There are too many uncontrollable factors and the risk is too high.”
Li Fan said with some disbelief, “Is there any risk-free business in the world? Compared to the profit it can gain, I think it is worth a try yet.”
Jiao Xiuyuan’s complexion moved slightly, and he was about to answer, but then he heard Li Fan say, “Moreover, I think that even if the other party gives up tussling with us and withdraws of their own accord, the large amount of Puxian True Leaves that we have acquired will make more profit than loss.”
“What makes you say that, Fellow Daoist?” Jiao Xiuyuan raised his eyebrows and asked with some disbelief.
A hint of a smile surged from the corner of Li Fan’s mouth as he stretched out his right index finger.
A moment later, a crystal clear positive icosahedral dice appeared on it out of thin air.
As it continued to rotate rapidly, it reflected many broken images.
After freezing for a moment, Jiao Xiuyuan recognized the treasure in Li Fan’s hand and exclaimed, “Heaven and Earth Qiankun Dice?!”
Just as he was about to take a closer look at the images on the dice, Li Fan immediately put it away.
“After my deduction of this matter, it should be close to eight or nine.” Li Fan said with a straight face.
Jiao Xiuyuan couldn’t help but become a little hesitant as he looked at Li Fan’s confident appearance.
“Wait for me to poke around again.” After saying that, the puppet in front of Li Fan became completely silent as if it had lost its main manipulative consciousness.
Li Fan was not in a hurry and stood still, waiting patiently.
This wait was a day and a night.
After the vitality descended on Jiao Xiuyuan again, he suddenly opened his eyes and showed a joyful face, “There’s a chance!”
“Oh? What have you inquired about, Fellow Daoist?” Li Fan asked with interest.
Jiao Xiuyuan moved closer and lowered his voice, “According to reliable information, the ones behind the manipulation of the price of the Puxian True Leaf are a few God-realizing cultivators led by Tantai Can of the Heavenly Pivot State.”
“Their backgrounds, to a greater or lesser extent, can all be related to the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance headquarters.”
“And the Hsien Ming Distinguishing Talismans used everywhere are basically monopolized by them.”
“The surname Tantai Can …… is so special that it made Li Fan uncontrollably think of the Formation Dao genius who died horizontally in his last life, Tantai Tao.
“Could it be the same family?” Li Fan thought in his heart, but his face did not move as he continued to listen.
Jiao Xiuyuan rambled on, “The truth is a little different from what we speculated. Due to controlling the production line of the Sage Ming Discriminating Talisman, these people have a large backlog of Puxian True Leaves in their hands.”
“The Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance collects a limited amount of the Pure Brightness Discriminating True Talismans every year, and the profits are too slow. Thus, this group of people hit upon a crooked idea.”
“Some of them used some of the Puxian True Leaves in their hands as collateral and borrowed a large amount of contribution points from the [Green Wind Hall].” “Meanwhile, the remainder, in turn, borrowed Puxian True Leaves on credit from the Green Wind Hall.”
“One way or another, the Puxian True Leaves returned to their hands. At the same time, the arbitrage gained contribution degrees of equal value.”
……
Li Fan sniffed and interrupted Jiao Xiuyuan with a slight frown, “As I recall, the interest rate of this Qingfeng Hall isn’t low, is it? How much can they profit by doing this? Moreover, with the contribution degree in hand, why do they need to be redundant and loan out the Puyao True Leaf again?”
Jiao Xiuyuan laughed and said, “That’s why I said that it’s organic.”
“Because, in actual name, these Pu Xian True Leaves are the property of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.”
“The Psionic Real Recognition Talisman involves the secrets of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, so naturally, control measures should be taken.”
“Tantai Can’s group of people were merely given the position of being in charge of manufacturing the Magisterial Discriminating Talisman because of the background behind each of them.”
“Every once in a while, the headquarters of the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance will send people to routinely inspect them.”
“Even though there are internal connections that can tell the news in advance. But the surface work still needs to be done, at least on the open accounts, there can’t be too much of a deficit.”
Jiao Xiuyuan hummed lightly, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes, “Even though the oil and water of this business is already frighteningly high, they still remain unsatisfied.”
“Unauthorizedly mortgaging it in exchange for huge contributions, prying leverage and making waves in the market.”
“And this group of people all have deep backgrounds behind them and are well-informed. That’s why they were unbeatable and profited a lot. The Green Wind Hall’s little bit of interest is really not in their eyes.”
“Other than that, let’s just say that this Pu Xian True Leaf, almost the entire stock of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance is in their hands. Is it not easy to manipulate the price? Harvesting unknown cultivators is no big deal at all.”
Li Fan slowly nodded his head, understanding the way Tantai Can’s group of people acted.
To put it bluntly, it was to divert the strategic materials of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance and exchange them for contribution degrees.
Subsequently, through inside information, they bought low and sold high, earning the difference in price for their own profit.
“Such a crime, but it’s not small. Fellow Daoist Jiao this can even probe so clearly, his ability is really on the verge of reaching the heavens!” Li Fan came back to his senses and tsked in praise.
Jiao Xiuyuan waved his hand, “It is also because these people are really inappropriate and too arrogant! Not only did they not keep it a strict secret, but they also used this as bragging capital in their casual conversations. That’s why I was able to know about it.”
“Otherwise, how could I know such a private matter!”
Li Fan laughed and did not dwell on this aspect, instead discussing with Jiao Xiuyuan about the feasibility of sniping Tantai Can’s gang.
“In this way, the concerns I had before are no longer a problem.”
“No matter what, they are bound to take back the Puyao True Leaf. Even if they dump their family’s money, this must be the case.”
“Otherwise, once the East Window is revealed, even the backers behind them won’t be able to protect them.”
“At that time, it won’t be a matter of bankruptcy. Death of the body and death of the Dao are all results that are sought after.”
Jiao Xiuyuan’s face revealed a chilling light as he spoke decisively.
“Good!” Li Fan applauded, with a look of approval on his face.
“The only worry is that the two of us, you and I, are weak and may not be the opposite side’s enemy.”
“If we can’t kill the enemy with a single blow, and the other side reacts, we’re afraid that our calculations won’t come to nothing.”
Jiao Xiuyuan suddenly said.
