Chapter 754 - 456 Wind Rises_2
The representatives from the Chambers of Commerce who came later only knew that someone had betrayed the front earlier, but they did not know exactly who.
Such news spread quickly, and the already unstable alliance formed by representatives of the so-called united front disbanded almost immediately.
It must be said that Tilamei was really being unreasonable this time, not only wanting to export grain at a low price but also trying to set guide prices—this was basically tantamount to flipping the table.
However, these Chambers of Commerce were truly helpless. As long as one Chamber accepted Tilamei’s guide price and obtained the low-priced grain, the rest would sooner or later have to hold their noses and agree, even if they had objections.
After all, looking at the market, although the grain in the entire Neustadt region was currently in short supply, this state was only temporary.
Once the spring harvest had passed and grain began arriving in succession, the prices on the market would also begin to fall... assuming traders were willing to release so much grain.
The Grain Chambers of Commerce were not a solid block, and there was only so much surplus demand in the market. Those who sold too slowly wouldn’t be able to make this money!
Driven by interest, a fall in grain prices was a highly probable event.
However, without Tilamei’s low-priced wheat, the drop in grain prices might be slightly slower due to costs and might even remain high for a long period.
In the end, it might even lead to a permanent increase in grain prices... The rise in prices, of course, was all benefit to the traders, and they were happy to see it.
It’s a pity that Tilamei was being unreasonable. Accepting the guide price meant at least they could still make some profit.
