Chapter 396: Soybean Prices Rise

The residents of Stone Town are not poor, and they have already entered a well-off life, so this group of people in Anping Village seems a little out of place and very eye-catching.

Fortunately, they don't have much money, so they won't be cheated, and they will only be discriminated against.

While the women went shopping, the men bought soybeans at the grain market, because they bought in large quantities, and the boss arranged for a three-wheeled car to transport them for them.

After a few days, the three-wheeled car of the grain store owner was seriously worn, but at the same time he made a lot of money.

The villagers who bought the soybeans and the sauce jar first have already started to make soybean paste, but there are still people who are slow to react or cautious, and they are still buying soybeans in the future.

When these people inquired about the price of soybeans and came to Stone Town to buy soybeans, they were surprised to find that the price of soybeans had risen.

For the villagers in Anping Village, every penny has to be broken in half to spend, and the most difficult thing to accept is that prices have risen.

Rising prices not only mean that you have to spend more money, but it also makes you look stupid.

When people buy soybeans, they are three dollars a catty, but when it is their turn to buy them, they become three dollars and five, isn't this a fool by others?

For people with a lot of money, five cents can't even buy a piece of candy, but for people in Anping Village, it's not a trivial matter, especially when their purchase volume is particularly large.

But let them grind their teeth, the boss just won't give an inch, and he has to pay this price, and he will charge them a delivery fee.

In desperation, these villagers had to buy from other grain stores, and as a result, the price of soybeans in all places increased, and the price increased by five cents.

This is obviously arranged by someone, but Anping Village has always had no quarrel with the world, who will sincerely embarrass the people of Anping Village?

If it is a simple price increase, there is no reason why the price will increase by five cents in just two days?

The villagers who were reluctant to spend more money had to return empty-handed, and these villagers were deflated, and when they returned home, they had to be ridiculed by their wives, and they were even more annoyed.

After thinking about it, they once again turned their attention to Zhang Daring for help, who made him a capable person in the village?

The villagers who had not yet bought soybeans all gathered at Zhang Daring's house and told him about the price of soybeans.

Although the relationship between supply and demand determines the price of commodities, the soybeans purchased in Anping Village are far from enough to affect the balance between supply and demand.

The price of soybeans in Stone Town rose overnight, not because of market factors, but because someone was maliciously manipulating.

Behind the rise in soybean prices, the most beneficial must be grain merchants, but they are opponents of each other, and it is impossible for them to be monolithic, so there is no reason to be so united.

Could it be that Zhang Daring suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, if the sauce factory in the town asked the grain merchants to raise the price, they should not dare to disobey, right?

The scale of the sauce factory in the town is not small, and the soybeans needed are naturally a huge quantity, and the grain merchants who sell soybeans in the town have a particularly good relationship with the sauce factory.

Now he has let the villagers produce soybean paste, and to a certain extent, he has already created commercial competition with the town's sauce factory.

In order to protect their own interests, in order to keep themselves going, the sauce factory is forcing the price of soybeans in the town to increase in the short term?

When you think about it, all the confusion is solved!

Zhang Daring had a preliminary suspicion, so he took a few people from the village and found the previous soybean dealer again.

The owner of the grain store, who was drinking tea in the store, was taken aback when he saw Zhang Daring leading three or five strong men to the door of his store with a swagger.

The boss stood up in a panic, walked up to Zhang Daring, and asked cautiously, "Are you still going to buy soybeans?"

Liu Chengcai, who was standing behind Zhang Daring, suddenly rushed to him and said viciously to the boss: "Why is the price of your soybeans rising?"

The boss scolded secretly in his heart and said with a smile: "What do you mean by that? Isn't it normal for this to increase the price of trading?"

Liu Chengcai was suddenly dumbfounded, and shouted in annoyance: "You...... You...... You can't get along with us sincerely!"

When the boss saw that he couldn't say anything, he was even more contemptuous and contemptuous in his heart, and secretly scolded them for being dirt buns who had never seen the world.

When he first saw Zhang Daring and the others, he was still a little afraid, which showed that they were all responsible people, so he restrained his awe and became arrogant.

"I'm the boss, I can raise the price if I want to, who can I get along with?" the boss continued to provoke arrogantly.

Seeing that he was disrespectful and there was no room for negotiation at all, Zhang Daring sneered in his heart, walked up to Liu Chengcai, patted him on the shoulder, and motioned him to retreat behind him.

Seeing Zhang Daring's burly figure and angry face, the boss couldn't help but feel a little afraid again, and took a few steps back.

"You...... What do you want to do? I'll tell you this is Stone Town, not your Anping Village, so be honest with me!" the boss threatened.

Seeing that he was terrified, Zhang Daring shook his head and laughed, walked a few steps, put his arm on his shoulder, and asked, "Are you threatening me?"

"Ahem!" the boss coughed in fright, and hurriedly glanced at the guy next to him, who slowly retreated to the back of the store.

"Little brother, if you have something to say, don't be so excited!" The boss endured the panic in his heart and pretended to be a member of the society.

"Let's talk about it, we were going to talk to you just now, but you have a lot of temper, what can we do?" Zhang Daring joked.

Several villagers who came with Zhang Daring saw that the boss's legs seemed to be weak, and the whole person trembled unconsciously, but they laughed loudly.

I thought this boss was a big brother, but it turned out that he was also a coward, and he was still pretending to be here!

The owner of the grain store, seeing that everyone dared to laugh at him, was extremely resentful in his heart, but he was helpless, after all, the other party was too many people, and he was single-handed, wouldn't he be beaten in vain?

However, don't be too happy too early for you buns, today your Grandpa Zheng must let you see blood!

"Ladies and gentlemen...... Everybody...... We have something to say, so why be angry?" said the grain store owner flatteringly.

A few people who came with Zhang Daring saw that the boss confessed, and immediately reprimanded him from above: "Boss Zheng, you are really not a thing!"

When the owner of the grain store saw them open his mouth, he scolded them, and his heart was even more angry, gritting his teeth and holding back his resentment.

"Oh, I don't think this is convincing! Bold, why don't we loosen his muscles and bones?" Liu Chengcai said with a smile.

When several companions beside him heard this, they all rubbed their hands, sneered wickedly, and pressed towards Boss Zheng step by step.

In their opinion, this Boss Zheng is a bully who is afraid of the hard, as long as he sees his own strength, his soybeans will not dare to rise in price, and maybe he will give himself a discount!

Seeing them smiling, Boss Zheng couldn't help but be frightened, retreated again and again, and stammered, "...... What are you doing? We have something to say...... Something to say!"

"Boss Zheng, now that you know how to say it, weren't you quite arrogant just now?" Liu Chengcai scolded.

"Can I still sell it to you for three yuan a catty?" Boss Zheng begged aggrievedly, although his face was aggrieved, his heart was already annoyed and angry.
