Chapter 5 Buying Grain
Li Er and Fang Xuanling came to Li's Tavern again and saw Fu Bo selling wine, so they walked up.
After Fang Xuanling took Fu Bo to pick up the last guest, he spoke: "Fu Bo, why are you busy with the tavern alone?" What about Li Feng? ”
"The young master has gone out to buy food, if Engong looks for him, I will go and find the young master back." Fauber replied.
Fang Xuanling was surprised: "Why do you still go to buy food, didn't he know that it rained last night?" ”
Fu Bo nodded and said, "I know, the young master said that because of this rain, there will be no more rain in the next half a year, and the temperature will get hotter and hotter, and the crops in the field will soon be sunburned." ”
Li Er and Fang Xuanling were both shocked, and their faces were suspicious, is it really fake?
"Does this Li Feng know the seriousness of the matter?" Fang Xuanling couldn't help but blurt out a question.
Fu Bo was stunned for a moment and said, "Engong, what do you mean?" Could it be that the young master went to buy food, and the consequences were very serious? ”
"It's okay to buy grain, it doesn't matter how much grain you buy, but when the drought and the crops are sunburned, this matter is very serious."
Fang Xuanling paused, then stood up and said, "Old Li, I have to ask Li Feng about this matter." ”
Li Er nodded: "Fu Bo, let's go find Li Feng, if he comes back, tell him not to run around, we can't find him, we will come back to find him." ”
"Okay, I'll tell the young master, he should be in the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce at the moment."
"Let's go, go to the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce."
……
Chang'an Chamber of Commerce, Li Feng had just arrived, he inquired about the grain stores along the street on the road, and found that the price of grain had dropped to the original price, that is, four cents a bucket.
He was very happy to find that his 20,000 guan could buy 400,000 stone of grain.
When Li Feng entered the Chamber of Commerce, a steward stepped forward to ask.
"This little young master is very raw, not a native of Chang'an, right?"
Li Feng shook his head and said, "No,"
"Isn't it?"
Li Feng said again: "It's really not, I'm an out-and-out Chang'an person, and I was born because it was the first time I went out, to be precise, my parents let me out for the first time and let me do business alone."
So, it's a very positive thing for me to be born. ”
The steward's originally contemptuous eyes suddenly became serious, and the first time he was released by the elders to do business, it must be a child of the family.
He said respectfully: "I don't know the young master's surname? ”
"The surname is Li."
"The Li family in Longxi?"
Li Feng smiled, did not admit or deny it, and said: "I buy grain, the more the better, this is a deposit." But I need to speak to your president. ”
The steward glanced at the package handed over by Li Feng, but he didn't answer it, he sneered and said, "Young Master Li, do you know who is behind the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce?" ”
"I don't know."
"Taiyuan Wang's family."
Li Feng asked puzzledly: "The Taiyuan royal family of the seven sects and five surnames?" So what about me, does it have anything to do with me? ”
"It seems that Young Master Li really doesn't know anything about the world, and he doesn't even know the grievances between the Taiyuan royal family and your Li family in Longxi?"
"So what's the matter, is it because the two families have grievances, your Chang'an Chamber of Commerce doesn't plan to do my business? If you don't do it, then you open your mouth, and if you do, call your president out, I have a big deal.
No, when it comes to the grievances of the two families, the president is not enough to see it, so he called someone from the Taiyuan Wang family to me and asked him if he would do my business. ”
Li Feng's voice was so loud that everyone present could hear it clearly.
Even Li Er and Fang Xuanling, who had just arrived, heard it.
"What's going on? Didn't Li Feng come to buy food, how could he be so tense? Fang Xuanling frowned.
Li Er said angrily: "You ask me, who do I ask?" ”
It seems like we arrived together, but have you been too tired lately and your memory has deteriorated?
No, you have to find someone to lighten the burden for you.
Fang Xuanling didn't know that Li Er was planning to lighten his work in his heart. At this time, his eyes kept looking at Li Feng.
Li Er is the same.
They wanted to see what kind of medicine was sold in Li Feng's gourd, and as for the drought, it had become an irrelevant matter.
The eyes of everyone in the lobby of the Chamber of Commerce were also focused on Li Feng.
I saw Li Feng continue: "The grievances between the Li family in Longxi and the Wang family in Taiyuan are a matter between the two families, and I don't care if I have my own family to deal with it."
Today I came to buy grain, I want to buy all the grain of the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce, and now I will ask you, do you sell it or not? ”
The steward's face had become iron blue because Li Feng had made a big deal out of it.
He said in a deep voice, "Young Master Li, it's over." ”
"Get out, you are not qualified to talk to me, call me the person you can talk to, I will give you a pillar of incense, and if you don't come later, I will treat your Taiyuan Wang family as if you were afraid of the Li family in Longxi."
Li Feng kicked at the steward, since the other party gave him such a bullish identity, he was really sorry for them if he didn't take advantage of it.
The guards of the Chamber of Commerce wanted to teach Li Feng a lesson, but they were stopped by the steward.
Although the steward is angry, he is not so angry that he has lost his mind, Li Feng is a member of the Li family in Longxi, and he dares to come to the Chamber of Commerce alone to do business, there must be someone behind him to support him.
He didn't believe that Li Feng was a person with no background, Li Feng was too crazy.
"Go find the president." The steward whispered to the guards beside him.
In less than a few minutes, a middle-aged man with a big belly walked up to the steward and glanced at Li Feng on the way.
Li Feng also looked at the other party curiously, and said in his heart: "The feudal landlords and old fortunes are all this virtuous, no wonder the landlords and old fortunes on TV are all played by fat people, it is too vivid." ”
The steward then saluted and said, "I have seen the president." ”
The president nodded in response, then asked, "What happened?" ”
The steward immediately whispered what had just happened.
When the chairman heard this, he looked at Li Feng with interest and said, "Little brother, you are not small, you dare to pretend to be a member of the Li family in Longxi. ”
"This kid is actually pretending to be a member of the Li family in Longxi, he is not afraid that the Li family in Longxi will trouble him?" Fang Xuanling said with some concern.
Li Er frowned and said, "Look down, if Li Feng is in danger, we will go up to help immediately." ”
"Okay."
Fang Xuanling nodded.
Li Feng smiled, he knew that his identity would be recognized, but he didn't expect it to be so soon, he was worthy of being a person in the circle of mixed families, and they were all familiar with whether there were other families.
Even if his identity was revealed, Li Feng did not flinch and promulgate.
"You don't have to worry about what my identity is, and you can't care about it. Today I am here to do business, whether you Chang'an Chamber of Commerce will do it or not, I will say a word happily. ”
"Yes, if you don't do business, why should I open this chamber of commerce?"
Li Feng nodded and said, "Okay, since that's the case, I want to buy grain." A serving of 2,000 gold leaves is considered a deposit, how much grain can be bought? ”
He spread out the golden leaves, and the golden leaves came into everyone's eyes, some showed greed, some showed envy, and more were disdainful.
Who didn't know anyone who was worth a lot of money.
The chairman did not go to pick up the gold leaves, but said lightly: "Twenty stacks of gold leaves, a total of 2,000 pieces, worth 20,000 yuan, according to the past, I can buy 400,000 stones." Now, do you want 250,000 stone rice? ”
"Sss
Everyone couldn't help but gasp, this slaughter was too powerful.
Li Feng frowned and said: "Now that the price of grain has stabilized, four or five wen a bucket, can the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce still sell ten wen and a bucket?" ”
"People are people, my family is my family, my food is good, what's wrong with buying more expensive? Isn't it normal for the goods to be good and expensive? The president said.
It makes sense, but it makes people powerless to refute it.
Li Feng smiled and said, "200,000 yuan to buy your 3.5 million stone grain, you are willing to sell it, we will sign the contract now, if you are not willing, I will leave immediately." ”
It's a big breath, and it will be 200,000 yuan as soon as it is exported.
"Okay, I'll sell it to you. Three and a half million stone of grain, I can sell it to you now, when will you pay? ”
"This is 20,000 yuan, which is considered a deposit, and after two months, the remaining 180,000 will be given." Li Feng said.
"You mean, you don't have any money?"
"Not yet."
"Haha...... There's no money to buy anything, little one, just stay and go. The elder burst out laughing, as did the steward and the others.
Fang Xuanling said nervously: "What is this kid thinking? ”
Li Er didn't answer, but walked over and said, "There are still 180,000 yuan for me to come out, what is your food in place?" ”
"Lao Li, why are you here?" Li Feng was a little surprised.
Lao Li smiled and said, "If you have something to look for, I will help you when I see that you are being bullied." ”
"Thank you." Li Feng said with a smile.
The president's face turned pale, and a man who had ruined his good deeds appeared.
"Who is Your Excellency?"
"My surname is Li, he calls me Lao Li, who do you say I am? Also, who am I concerned with your business, now, I ask you, I have my money ready, do you have any food? Li Er let out his royal anger, causing the president's head to shrink, and the flower he wanted to say was held back.
In the end, under the operation of Li Er and Fang Xuanling, Li Feng got 3.5 million stone grain and owed 180,000 yuan.
After watching the grain enter the warehouse at home, Li Feng was relieved.
"Lao Li, Lao Fang, thank you for your help this time, especially Lao Li, don't worry, you have a share of these grains, and if you make money, I will definitely share it with you."
"Money has to be talked about, I have something to ask you now, will there really be a drought, and in a few days, will the crops be sunburned?"
Li Feng said: "At most, in half a month, the crops will be sunburned, and people may be sunburned." This summer is going to be hot. ”
"Really?" Li Er still didn't believe it.
Li Feng sighed and said, "The fortune teller can deceive you for ten or twenty years, and my words will soon come true." And don't you feel a little hot? ”
When Li Feng said this, Li Er and Fang Xuanling really felt a little hot. Then the two rushed back, and they didn't mention anything about 180,000 yuan.
