170: Funds cut off for Li Dao's loan! He lost a lot and returned to Jiang Lan.
Jianglan City, Li Family!
When Li Dao received the news from Li Xiaotian, he couldn't help but be startled!
"What did you say? The Medicinal Pills are sold out?"
"Yes, Father, business at Ye Family Pass is booming now. Many people are buying because of our prices!"
"At this rate, in less than a month, the entire market of Ye Family Pass will have nothing to do with the Ye Family!"
Li Xiaotian said excitedly!
Li Dao was also delighted to hear this and quickly said!
"Not bad!"
"Keep up this momentum, I also have a lot of good news here!"
"Recently, the Fifth-Grade Pills released by the mysterious person in Jianglan City have all been acquired by Father!"
"We can still make a profit by sending them to White Province City!"
"But you should arrange for someone to bring back your earnings from over there as soon as possible!"
"We've collected too many Fifth-Grade Pills recently, I'm afraid the funds won't circulate!"
"Okay! But Father, I'm selling them at a loss here, so there isn't much profit. Please arrange for more goods for me as soon as possible!"
Li Xiaotian urged him.
Li Dao smiled!
"Don't worry, tomorrow I'll arrange for someone to depart for White Province City. The funds will be recovered in ten days at most!"
"Okay!"
Li Xiaotian responded!
Hearing the continuous good news from his son made Li Dao incredibly happy!
He immediately hung up the message and called for the butler!
"Immediately send another batch of Third-Grade Medicinal Pills to Xiaotian!"
"The market at Ye Family Pass will be taken down soon!"
However, the butler quickly said upon hearing this!
"Master, our Li Family's current stock of Third-Grade Medicinal Pills is not enough!"
"Jianglan City also needs replenishment, I'm afraid there aren't that many goods!"
Li Dao frowned upon hearing this!
"How can there be no goods? Our production capacity is fine!"
The butler quickly said!
"But Master, recently you've invested a large amount of capital into Fifth-Grade Pills!"
"The Third-Grade Medicinal Pill side is severely underfunded and hasn't received any herbs for a long time!"
"The output is now less than half of what it was before!"
"You said the remaining funds were still for hoarding Fifth-Grade Pills, so I didn't dare to touch them!"
Li Dao frowned and asked upon hearing this!
"How many Spirit Stones and spiritual liquids are left on the books now?"
The butler quickly said!
"Less than ten million Spirit Stones, and only two thousand bottles of spiritual liquid left!"
"If we continue to purchase Fifth-Grade Pills, the capital chain will break in two days at most!"
"Why don't we stop acquiring Fifth-Grade Pills for now?"
Li Dao waved his hand upon hearing this!
"No! Business is about longevity!"
"If we break off the transaction with that mysterious person at this time, what if the Xu Family takes advantage of the situation!"
"But our cash flow is already unable to circulate!"
The butler said!
Li Dao pondered for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said!
"Fortune favors the bold. Tomorrow I will go to various banks to apply for loans!"
"The Fifth-Grade Pills and the market at Ye Family Pass cannot stop!"
"We cannot give Ye An any chance to breathe!"
"Have the caravan depart tonight. No rest on the way. The reward for this trip will be doubled. Have them try to reach White Province City within ten days!"
"Then sell the Medicinal Pills. Once the Medicinal Pills are sold, we will be able to recover!"
"Yes!"
The butler quickly responded!
Thus, the next day, Li Dao began visiting various banks, embarking on a journey of borrowing!
At the same time, the news also reached Ye Family Pass, and Ye An's ears.
"Boss, what do you say? Li Dao has already started borrowing money!"
Xu Chuang asked!
Ye An, however, smiled.
"What do you care if he borrows or not? We're not giving out IOUs anyway!"
"As long as the money reaches our hands, it's impossible for it to be returned!"
"As long as Li Dao buys, you just keep selling!"
"Keep selling until he can't take it anymore, and then he'll wake up!"
"At that time, arrange for someone to send the remaining Medicinal Pills to White Province City to sell!"
Xu Chuang responded!
Indeed, for the next week, Li Dao truly borrowed money to buy Fifth-Grade Pills!
However, how much could he borrow?
His Li Family's reputation ultimately had its limits!
Sure enough, five days later, Li Dao truly could no longer afford to buy Fifth-Grade Pills!
Because at this moment, the Fifth-Grade Pills he had accumulated were simply too many!
Although he had already arranged for people to send them to White Province City, it wasn't a matter of a day or two to convert them into cash!
The journey alone would take at least ten days!
However, as Li Dao's capital chain completely broke.
At Ye Family Pass, Li Xiaotian's shop also had to close down!
This worried Li Xiaotian greatly!
He constantly urged Li Dao day in and day out!
However, Li Dao was also helpless and could only patiently explain repeatedly!
"I've already told you, wait a few more days until the Medicinal Pills are sold, and our funds will return. Why are you so anxious!"
Li Xiaotian said excitedly!
"Father, I can't not be anxious. I've worked so hard to build up this reputation!"
"If we run out of stock again, it will truly be completely ruined!"
However, facing Li Xiaotian's urging, Li Dao could only make him wait.
After all, if the funds didn't return, they truly had no choice!
And five more days quickly passed.
And after the Li Family stopped acquiring Medicinal Pills.
The Fifth-Grade Pills that Ye An refined subsequently were basically handed over to Xu Chuang to arrange for people to sell in White Province City!
Although this meant more travel time!
Fortunately, they would eventually turn into money and return!
But the Li Family couldn't do that!
When the first batch of subordinates sent out arrived in White Province City, ready to sell the Medicinal Pills, they were all shocked to discover!
At some unknown time, the price of Fifth-Grade Pills in White Province City had actually dropped to an incredible extent!
"How can this price be so low? It's not much higher than the price the Family Head paid for Fifth-Grade Pills in Jianglan City!"
"Quick, quick, immediately arrange for someone to return and inform the Family Head of the Medicinal Pill price situation in White Province City as soon as possible!"
"Yes!"
... From Jianglan City to White Province City, it takes ten days for a person to travel!
But sending a message back doesn't take that long!
Although communication Spirit Stones have distance limitations, even for the Li Family, relying on communication could save about five days!
So, five days later, the news was sent back to the Li Family!
But when Li Dao received the news!
He was completely dumbfounded!
"What did you say? The price of Fifth-Grade Pills in White Province City plummeted?"
"How is this possible?"
Li Dao simply couldn't believe what he heard!
However, the butler said with a serious expression!
"Master, it's true!"
"Our people found out through inquiries that the Qin Family's trading company in White Province City launched a proxy refining service for Fifth-Grade Pills!"
"The handling fee is very low. You only need to provide the Pill Formula and herbs yourself. After refining, the Pill Formula is not returned, but if it fails, they also compensate!"
"The price of the Fifth-Grade Pills they offer is lower than the market price, so many people, in order to sell the Fifth-Grade Pills they have, have no choice but to lower their prices!"
"At the current market price, if we sell, we won't make any money. In fact, if we're in a hurry to sell, we might even lose money!"
"Lose... lose money selling?"
"Then all this effort during this time was for nothing!"
Li Dao was completely dumbfounded!
However, the butler poured another bucket of cold water on him!
"Not only was it for nothing, but we even lost quite a bit!"
"After all, the large quantity of Third-Grade Medicinal Pills that Young Master sold earlier were all sold at a loss!"
Hearing the butler's words, Li Dao almost fainted!
He swallowed hard and quickly said!
"Quick, quick! Tell Li Xiaotian to get back here!"
"Ye An must be behind this!"
"We can't continue this, otherwise the Li Family's foundation will be completely ruined in my hands!"
"Tell Li Xiaotian to get back here, and don't provoke that Ye An anymore!"
"Also, tell the people in White Province City to immediately sell the Fifth-Grade Pills at a low price!"
"If we don't repay the bank loans soon, the interest alone will drag our Li Family down!"
"Sell them and convert them into cash at any price, no matter how low, to fill the bank's hole first!"
The butler quickly said upon hearing this!
"Yes!"
... A moment later, when the news reached Li Xiaotian's ears at Ye Family Pass!
He was completely stunned!
"How could this happen?"
"Our business was clearly doing well, how could Father have stepped into a trap!"
"What exactly did this Ye An do!"
A Li Family member next to him advised!
"Young Master, don't worry about what Ye An did!"
"You just need to know that if we continue to lose money here, the Li Family might not even be able to keep its ancestral property!"
"And haven't you noticed that the Ye Family's shops haven't opened these past few days!"
"They must be waiting for our Li Family to not be able to hold on!"
"This must be a trap set by Ye An!"
Li Xiaotian's back broke out in a cold sweat upon hearing this!
"How is this possible? How could this Ye An be so powerful!"
"I don't believe it!"
Although he said he didn't believe it, on that very day!
Li Xiaotian still led a group of Li Family members away from Ye Family Pass!
And retreated to Jianglan City!
