Chapter 537 Revenge (4)
The timing is right now. Due to the three previous revenge actions, the entire Lei family is frantically trying to find the murderer, and personnel are being transferred frequently.
Even if Liduo had personally investigated before, she could only find out the obvious parts of the Lei family's industry and power. The hidden parts could not be investigated clearly in a short time.
This time their own industries were attacked, so the Lei family would naturally strengthen the protection of the remaining industries, which would require the mobilization of more manpower. As long as Liduo used her mental power to keep an eye on the flow of personnel in the Lei family, she would be able to find out which ones were the Lei family's industries.
At this time, the industries that the Lei family has added additional personnel to protect must be the Lei family’s key industries.
The last count, wow! Wow! The Lei family is involved in so many industries, both overtly and covertly! The Lei family has a hand in almost every industry.
First, the Lei family’s main residence in the inner city occupies an entire city block; second, the Lei family’s businesses are spread throughout the main city of Tianjing.
For example, in terms of food supply, the Lei family’s grain shops in the inner city accounted for half of the market share of all grain shops in the inner city.
The cloth business accounts for one third of the inner city. There are several large shops belonging to the Lei family on the main streets of the inner city. In addition to grain stores and cloth shops, there are restaurants, carriage houses, inns, grocery stores, etc. It can be said that everything from food, clothing, housing and transportation is covered!
These industries are not only in the inner city of Tianjing's main city, but also in the outer city. However, perhaps because the profitability of the outer city is not as good as that of the inner city, the Lei family only opened shops in relatively prosperous areas of the outer city. The rest are mostly wholesale businesses, which are managed by the outer city office.
Of course, the Lei family actually does wholesale business in the inner city, but the shipment volume is not that large.
However, the Lei family controls a large amount of supply, which is not much different from a monopoly, so they naturally have the right to set prices. So even though it is a wholesale business, it has nothing to do with small profits but quick turnover.
Other merchants bought goods from them at high prices, then marked them up and sold them in their own stores. The only ones who were harmed were the interests of ordinary customers. Therefore, in Liduo's opinion, the prices in the main city of Tianjin, whether inner or outer, were too high.
Even if we take into account the difficulties in transportation on the magic continent and the underdeveloped water transportation, and the fact that most of the material supplies in the main city of Tianjing have to rely on external imports and only a small part can be produced locally, the price is still far beyond the normal premium.
People in the main city of Tianjing had to buy it in order to survive, and they had to work harder for it.
It is because of evil existence like the Lei family that exploits ordinary people at the source that such a result occurs.
Ironically, however, the Lei family wholesaled goods to other merchants at high prices, and then when they sold them in their own stores, they priced them slightly lower than other merchants, thus gaining a lot of good reputation.
This is only the Lei family's industry in basic survival supplies. In addition, not counting the two that have been wiped out, the Lei family also has three magic plant farms and a wildebeest farm, three snowflake cattle farms, and two wind-feather chicken farms in the outer city. These are all cultivation resources!
In addition, the Lei family opened a large blacksmith shop in the outer city. Although they could not forge magic equipment, they could still forge weapons and equipment of the level of hundred-forged fine steel and thousand-forged fine steel, which were only lower than magic equipment.
In addition to being supplied to the family, the finished weapons and equipment were also sold in several weapon shops opened by the Lei family in the inner and outer cities.
In fact, there is also a forging room in the main house in the inner city of the Lei family. With a powerful family like the Lei family, there should be summoners in the family who engage in professions such as forgers, pharmacists, and magic plant masters. However, the output should also be consumed within the family rather than sold in the store.
This is still a normal industry. In addition, the Lei family also controls an underground auction house, an underground black market, and even an underground arena!
If Li Duo had not followed the personnel transfers from the Lei family, even if she could find these places, she would not be able to figure out which forces these black industries belonged to.
