"No... no... please don't..." The man waved his hands repeatedly, "With such a large company like yours, bowing to me... I really can't accept it. I don't want compensation. I've already gotten the goods from Boss Huang's company. The price is a bit cheaper than yours, so it's not too much of a loss."

The man's face showed sincerity, without any concealment, he explained everything in detail.

On the day the Long Group ran out of stock, the Huang Group sent out people to make various contacts and draw in these suppliers, simultaneously lowering the prices of goods. Within nearly a single day, they managed to attract all of the suppliers that had previously worked with the Long Group.

Unlike collaborations with large companies, these suppliers are the most profit-driven and realistic. They don't consider too much—whoever has the cheapest goods will get their business. They would rather earn a dollar than half, as they are all living to make ends meet; none of it's easy.

However, the method the Huang family used is truly malicious—a typical 'strike while you're vulnerable' maneuver. Huang Shengtian does have some skills; on one hand, he seized the Qin Group's Lingbei Trade Zone, while on the other hand, he cut off the Long family's suppliers, effectively waging a two-sided war and gaining notable results.

"Huang Shengtian is too despicable." Qin Ruomeng couldn't hold back, speaking out, "I have investigated this. The Long Group's prices were already very low, relying on small profits but rapid turnover, yet Huang Shengtian lowered the prices at this critical moment clearly intending to kill off the Long family!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a cold gleam flashed in Qin Ruomeng's eyes, and she said in a deep voice, "Furthermore, I'm sure that once the Long family collapses, the Huang family will definitely raise the prices, even higher than the Long family's previous rates!"

At this moment, the suppliers in the hall were already clamoring, with many starting to shout loudly, "Miss Long, it's not that we don't want to cooperate with you, it's just that now Huang Group's goods are cheaper than yours and the quality isn't much different, so of course we want to get their goods."

"Yes, Miss Long, maybe you could lower your prices again, we'd be happy to continue cooperating next month."

"It's just business; of course we go where the goods are both cheap and easy to sell."

The suppliers chatted loudly, while Long Yuqing on stage had already turned quite pale. Facing the suppliers' questioning attitudes, Long Yuqing couldn't say a word.

Because the Long family's prices can't drop any further! Originally, the Long family was relying on the strategy of small profits but rapid turnover, fully aware of the difficulties these suppliers face, so they had already reduced their prices to the lowest!

Now, it's the Huang Group playing tricks, offering the suppliers goods at nearly cost price, which means there's no profit, just aiming to squeeze the Long family out.

If Long Yuqing lowered prices further below Huang Group's cost prices, it would truly be a loss-making transaction.

Currently, on one side the suppliers are aggressive, and on the other, Huang Shengtian is waiting to engage in this price war with Long Yuqing.

Because currently, the Huang family is financially strong.

The Long family had just suffered losses, barely hanging on, and all available funds from several subsidiaries were pulled together, but it's still insufficient. If Long Yuqing truly engaged Huang Shengtian in a price war, the outcome is foreseeable.

The Long family would definitely lose.

Now, the suppliers have already tasted the benefits at Huang Group. No matter how much Long Yuqing explains, it's useless unless they lower prices; otherwise, the suppliers won't cooperate with the Long Group anymore.

This is a deadlock.

A deadlock orchestrated by Huang Shengtian!

If they don't fight a price war with Huang Shengtian, suppliers will end cooperation, and the downfall of the Long family is just a matter of time.

But if they do engage in a price war, the Long family would be digging their own grave. With the current financial pressure, getting into a loss-making move would only hasten their downfall.

"Huang Shengtian played this move brilliantly." Ye Tianfan spoke lightly.

"Indeed, it's almost as if Long Yuqing has been pushed to a dead end!" Qin Ruomeng nodded, "Our Qin Family has battled against the Long Family for sixty years without managing to push Long Yuqing to this extent. Huang Shengtian surely has skills."

Ye Tianfan glanced at Qin Ruomeng, "Battled for sixty years? I think you two families have been acting for sixty years rather."

Drama.

Since seeing that letter, everything was revealed!

After battling for sixty years and experiencing countless economic upheavals in between, if they'd truly fought to the end, the outcome would've been decided long ago.

But each time at critical moments, Elder Qin would stop short.

Take this time for example, although Elder Qin sent Li Tianxing to the bar to threaten, it was after all just a threat without any substantive actions.

The saying goes: "The observer sees clearly while the participator is confused."

Previously, Li Tianxing threatened Long Yuqing at the bar, telling her to watch out for her seventy-two warehouses.

However, Li Tianxing did nothing, this threat seemed more like a warning to Ye Tianfan.

On one hand, warning Long Yuqing to beware of those seventy-two warehouses, on the other, alerting her that Fang Zaitian had already escaped her control.

The reason Fang Zaitian managed to take the Qin Family's Lingbei Trade Zone is also due to Elder Qin's reluctance to strike with thunderous measures against the Long Family.

This allowed Fang Zaitian to exploit the opportunity.

Ye Tianfan saw clearly through all this, yet Qin Ruomeng and Long Yuqing at the time might not have understood. Now that they saw that letter and thought back, even if they understood, it was too late.

When the snipe and clam fight, it's the fisherman who benefits; the biggest winner is Huang Shengtian.

"If Miss Long insists on not lowering prices, then let's not waste everyone's time. We'll continue to purchase from Huang Group." A loud shout rang out, immediately followed by a commotion among the suppliers, each expressing agreement.

At this moment, Qin Ruomeng stood up and slowly walked onto the speaking platform, glanced at Long Yuqing with a kind smile, then picked up the microphone and said, "Lower the price!"

As soon as Qin Ruomeng said those two words, the hall instantly fell silent.

Long Yuqing frowned even more deeply, whispered beside Qin Ruomeng, "Our Long family's funds can't support a price reduction now..."

Although Long Yuqing spoke quietly, she was close to the microphone, and in the suddenly silent hall, quite a few people heard her.

Once more, the hall exploded with discussions.

"Looks like the Long Group doesn't have it in them. Don't waste time, let's go, let's go."

Some started jeering.

The scene became extremely chaotic.

Even Ye Tianfan felt a bit restless. These suppliers are not like those big corporate bosses, they don't have such high standards or leave anyone face. Their goal is very simple: buy low, make money to support their families.
