Chapter 370: Fighting for Horses

Meng Jianwen followed the sound and looked at it, only to see that on the fork in the road two miles away, a big man with a beard on his face was galloping on a horse.

In just a few breaths, the beard was in front of Meng Jianwen and the innkeeper.

"Boss, these ten horses have already been rented by me, why do you want to rent them to others?"

The bearded man didn't pay attention to Meng Jianwen, but just questioned the innkeeper.

"Guest officer, you are ......" Facing the uninvited guest, the innkeeper had a question on his face.

Although he didn't know the person in front of him, he still felt that the beard had come at the right time.

In business, the more buyers there are, the better, and the competition between buyers can gradually push up prices.

Within a radius of hundreds of miles, there is only this one rental horse, and there are only ten horses in total, according to the principle of fair competition, whoever bids the highest price can make a deal with the boss.

Don't look at this remote place, sometimes you can't wait for a decent business for months, but today two customers came at once.

The ore convoy of the General's Mansion, including dozens of guards and coachmen, prepared dry food alone, because of the high price, it was enough for the innkeeper to make a small fortune.

There is also food, accommodation, and especially the rental of horses, if the transaction is smooth, the profit of the year is basically gone.

The embarrassed face just now is just a kind of threshold for businessmen, first hoisting Meng Jianwen's appetite, and then slowly testing to maximize profits.

In the business field, the seller hopes that the buyer will offer the price first, which can not only find out the other party's affordability, but also adjust their profit margins appropriately according to the actual situation.

When the supply of goods exceeds demand, it is the best choice to sell at a price, but it is only a customer of Meng Jianwen, which is relatively rigid when it comes to talking, and may not be able to reach the price in the mind of the innkeeper.

The beard was stuck in the middle of the innkeeper's arms, and it was like drowsiness touching the pillow...... Coincidentally...

"Didn't I send someone to tell you that you want to rent these horses, and the deposit has been paid. ”

The bearded man looked at the innkeeper, reminded and urged: "I am the turtle, you hurry up and feed the horse enough forage, and you will leave early tomorrow morning." ”

After speaking, he also used the corner of his eye to glance at Meng Jianwen, faintly revealing a look of pride.

"Deposit ......" The innkeeper was stunned, and his heart said that this bearded man was not good at his peers.

I have never received a single deposit, and I have never heard of any turtles and turtles.

It seems that this guy is an old fox, extremely experienced in the rivers and lakes, in order to rent horses, he inserted a stall, which was originally a good thing for the innkeeper, but he gave birth to a deposit out of thin air.

Knowing that he wanted to increase the rent, he fabricated a deposit so that after deducting it at that time, the actual rent would be cheaper.

If he admits that he has received a deposit, he can hide from Meng Jianwen and make a deal at a higher price, but as the innkeeper and the owner of the horses, he has no substantial benefits.

However, if the predetermined theory is completely denied, then in line with the industry rules of first-come, first-served, the bearded beard will not be qualified to compete with Meng Jianwen at a higher price.

"Oh...... It turns out that you are Uncle Turtle, look up for a long time..."

The innkeeper is worthy of being well-informed and exquisite, and when he hugged his fist, he said in a matter-of-fact manner:

"A few days ago, there was indeed a guest officer who made a special trip to book a horse rental, but he said that he might have to wait for half a month before the turtle uncle came to pick up the horse, and he was afraid that the itinerary would change, so he did not pay a deposit. ”

Both admits that someone booked in advance, and flatly denies that the deposit was received, the meaning is obvious, give the beard a chance, but you can't count me.

"What? He didn't pay the deposit...... This king must have spent all his time outside, spent all the deposits, and then settled accounts with him when he went back. ”

The beard is an understanding person, how can he not hear the innkeeper's meaning, he is clearly scolding the 'Wang Ba Lamb' who does not exist at all, but in fact scolding the innkeeper.

It is said that there is no treachery and no business, it is really appropriate, it is beneficial to himself, and he should accept it with a clear conscience, and as soon as he said the deposit, he quickly sealed the words, this innkeeper is cunning enough.

The beard scolded and scolded, but the horses still wanted it, so he rightly accused the innkeeper again:

"Since the boss said that there was no deposit, then I believe you, but there is always nothing wrong with booking. How can you step on two boats and rent horses to them?"

Originally, there was no deposit, but for the beard, the innkeeper gave him a chance to compete fairly with Meng Jianwen, which was already very good.

After all, horses are limited, and both families want it, and if the innkeeper directly pokes at him, it will be a big deal to make less money, but it will also deprive him of the right to rent horses.

However, the bearded man grasped the greedy psychology of the innkeeper, and instead changed from passive to active, putting himself on the side of reason.

"That...... Uncle Turtle. The innkeeper always felt that this title was awkward, and although his face was full of smiles, it seemed to be scolding:

"The little old man has a small profit, and he hasn't received a deposit, so he can't wait forever. It just so happened that this uncle needed it, I thought that half a month was still early, and the horses were idle, so it was better to rent more time to earn some money.

Who knows, it's only been five days, and your Uncle Turtle is here, which makes the little old man embarrassed...... Why don't you two discuss it?"

In the face of the aggressiveness of the bearded man, the innkeeper was silent, and easily kicked the ball back in a few words.

not only pushed away the charges imposed by the beard, but also pulled Meng Jianwen in.

"No need to negotiate, I book in advance, the horses will naturally belong to me, and the rent will not be less than you. The bearded man said very simply, and even reached into his arms, ready to pay the bill.

"Uncle Turtle, you wait...... This master also wants to rent horses, and he has already negotiated the price with me, if you directly exclude him, wouldn't the little old man lose his trust. ”

The turtle is so simple that it is difficult for the innkeeper to accept.

If, in normal times, he encounters such a refreshing customer, he is too late to be happy, how can he stop it.

But today is different, when I look at Meng Jianwen's group of people, they are rich masters, and their beards are also full of money, this is an opportunity to make a fortune that cannot be touched for several years, and it must not be allowed to slip away.

The innkeeper turned around again, accompanied by a smiling face, and said to Meng Jianwen: "This uncle, Uncle Turtle is scheduled to come in advance after half a month, you see this matter, the little old man is not a person inside and out."

If it was half a month later, I would never promise you again, but now that everyone is here, there are only ten horses in total, and I can't tell the difference, so it can only depend on which of you really needs it. ”

"This little white-faced brother, you have something to say. ”

Under the influence of the innkeeper, the bearded man also accepted the plan of competition, and instead asked Meng Jianwen to reply.

"What do you want?"

Meng Jianwen, who had been watching coldly from the side, asked lightly.

Facing the negotiation between the beard and the innkeeper, like a double reed, a discerning person knows at a glance that there must be something greasy in this.

Just like Yichen talked about him, he could figure out the truth with his heels, how could Meng Jianwen not understand it.

He was reluctant to speak, just to see what tricks these two were going to play, so as not to insert himself into it and be calculated by others.

"Hey...... The boss said, let the two of us discuss. ”

The bearded man laughed and said slyly, "Of course I want to rent all ten horses, but you will definitely not agree." So, just ask, whoever pays the highest price and who owns the horses, do you think it's okay?"

Looking at Meng Jianwen's team, the bearded man didn't dare to be presumptuous, and after clearly expressing his opinion, he waited for Meng Jianwen to speak.

"No..."Meng Jianwen didn't care what the other party was playing, insisted on his own position, and did not relax:

"I'm going to set a horse, the price can be a little higher, but you are not qualified to bid, this is a matter between me and the boss, you please." ”

"What...... Shall I please?" Unexpectedly, Meng Jianwen directly excluded him.

"This ......" The innkeeper was also surprised, but he disagreed with Meng Jianwen's statement: "Uncle, you can't be so domineering, the one with the highest price has to be the rule, let's not change it." ”

"I don't care if I don't have any rules or regulations, anyway, these ten horses belong to me, let's tell me the price. ”

Meng Jianwen's face sank, and he glanced coldly at the innkeeper and his beard. Take advantage of the situation to vent the breath of the peak powerhouse of the commander without reservation.

Airplanes......

In the air, a powerful ripple of energy quickly spread, enveloping the two opposites.

In his opinion, these two people were originally a gang, but in order to raise the price, they deliberately sang a double reed, trying to force themselves to comply.

Meng Jianwen didn't want to kill, and released his battle qi to give the other party a deterrent, hoping that they wouldn't play tricks again.

"Hmph... It's not that easy to bully others. ”

When he saw the beard, his face turned cold, and he seemed to have been greatly wronged, so he snorted coldly, and at the same time released his battle qi.

Rumble......

There was a burst of dust, a grayish-yellow mist, emanating from the bearded body.

Compared with Meng Jianwen's battle qi, it is not inferior, and it also reaches the strength of the peak powerhouse of the battle commander.

"Oops...... Second master, please spare the little old man. ”

The fighting spirit of the two battle commanders at the peak of the powerhouse swept across this small space, causing the innkeeper to kneel on the ground in fright, and kept kowtowing and begging for mercy.

A small innkeeper, where has he seen two warriors at the peak of the strong, appear in front of him at the same time, and because of the matter of renting horses, they don't give in to each other.

In addition to kowtowing, he also trembled and said, "Little Lao'er's horse, take it with any of you...... Willing to pay some rent...... Just give some, don't want to ...... Forget it. ”

In order to make a few bucks, it is too cost-effective to put your old life on the line, as long as the two masters can stop a little, they will lose it, and it is important to save their lives.

"It's none of your business, you get out of the way..."Meng Jianwen and his beard said in unison.
