The three of them discussed for half the day but couldn't come up with a good solution, leaving Manbao with no choice but to angrily devour all the meat on the table while internally querying Keke, "Keke, do you have any good ideas?"
After searching through a series of case analyses on marketing in the Encyclopedia Hall, Keke said, "If the host wants to establish a monopoly, why not buy up all the wheat in the village?"
Manbao's eyes widened slightly as she asked, "Where would I get so much money?"
Keke replied, "This is a limitation of the host's own resources, something I had foreseen and am powerless to change."
Manbao felt that Keke had become malicious, so she viciously grabbed another chopstick full of dishes, gulped it down, and then turned to look at Bai Shanbao, "How much money do you have?"
Bai Shanbao defensively asked, "What for?"
"What if we buy up all the grain in the village?"
Bai Shanbao's eyes bulged, "How much money would that need?"
