Mr. Leifer wants to take advantage of the situation to monopolize the Kustiel spice market; he's not dreaming.
Leifer chuckled, "You don't know the extent of the losses caused by the tsunami to those companies. Convenient sea and air transport relies on sufficient financial backing. Those companies attempted to band together and charter a cruise ship for procurement, but encountered a typhoon midway, causing the ship to sink. Now, they're in hot water and struggling for survival, let alone securing inventory."
Bai Xiaosheng was moved by this sentiment; the tsunami and typhoon together have dealt a devastating blow to the Kustiel spice industry.
"Are foreign companies aware of the situation and considering entering this market?" Bai Xiaosheng asked.
Leifer slapped his thigh, "Well, they want to, but they can't figure out which spices are the most scarce here."
Bai Xiaosheng's eyes widened with intrigue.
