Chapter 40: Zhang Yi
Shopkeeper Jiao thought for a moment that he had misheard.
According to what he thought before, the other party should have turned around and left after hearing his offer. didn't expect the other party to say such a thing, which can be said to be a surprise to the shopkeeper. He had never considered what he would do if the other party really agreed to his price.
"Mr. Gao, are you sure you're not joking with Jiao?"
Shopkeeper Jiao pushed his glasses twice in a row, staring at Yue Siliang deadly, he was really not sure about the temper of the person in front of him now.
"Shopkeeper Jiao, what I just said should be very clear, I agree with the price you proposed."
"......"
After confirming it again, Shopkeeper Jiao was in trouble at that time. What Fan Jianwen instructed him before was to tighten the grain opening, and never allow large-scale grain transactions. The price he proposed before was actually not thinking about serious business at all, but just using a high price to scare people away. He didn't expect that someone would actually accept this price.
"Mr. Gao, this price ......"
"What's wrong with the price?"
Yue Siliang's face was as usual, and he asked the shopkeeper Jiao, who was already somewhat out of shape.
Now the shopkeeper Jiao is speechless. What did he say? Do you want to say to Yue Siliang: We don't want to do this business at all, we just want to scare you away for a price?
There is no such business in the world, Shopkeeper Jiao can't eat the context of "Mr. Gao", so he doesn't dare to make a mistake, the merchants who go south and north are capable, and who knows what kind of interpersonal network they have behind them? If you talk nonsense in front of others, and if you offend the other party again, it is very likely that you will cut off one of your own paths.
Heng Ji has not done serious business for several months, this is already Fan Jianwen's ruthlessness under the gritted teeth, if outsiders make Heng Ji's reputation stink, then Fan Jianwen will really go crazy, no matter what, he is still reluctant to lose Heng Ji's golden chicken.
"Uh...... It's nothing, I'm just a little surprised, it's been a long time since I've met such a bold high-roller as Mr. Gao. ”
Shopkeeper Jiao was fooling the past with a haha in his mouth, and now he can be said to be difficult to ride a tiger.
"You praise it, Gao, I don't have any surprising ability, I just dare to do it! I really see that the price of grain in Shanxi will rise higher and higher in the future, and I will not suffer much if I buy this thing now. Truth be told, I want you to pay as much as you want today. As long as you have the price and have the stock, everything is easy to say! ”
Shopkeeper Jiao shook his hand in his heart, and he began to think about how to solve this matter today. Obedient, this surname Gao's appetite is not small, and I am afraid that a few dozen stones at random will not fill his stomach at all. However, it is absolutely impossible to sell too much grain in the storehouse, because a lot of the grain in the warehouse has already been promised to the Japanese.
"This business can't be done!"
Shopkeeper Jiao thought so, and in an instant, he made up his mind in his heart.
"Hehe, Mr. Gao, I admire your courage. Since you are sincere in doing business with us Heng Kee, then I will not hide it, what are you going to do with this business? ”
Shopkeeper Jiao, who had figured everything out, was much calmer, and directly drew a line with Yue Siliang, depending on what the other party planned to say next.
"Come on, then let's take a look at the goods, which also makes me feel a little confident."
Shopkeeper Jiao was already accustomed to Yue Siliang's directness at this time, opened the curtain of the back door, raised his hand and made a gesture of please.
"The treasury is at the back, Mr. Gao, come with me."
Yue Siliang didn't hesitate, raised his feet and left, and walked to the backyard with Lei Zi and the others. Seeing Yue Siliang and the others walk to the front, Shopkeeper Jiao handed over a guy and asked him to come over and whisper an order, and then he followed Yue Siliang's footsteps again.
After walking through Heng Ji's backyard, he didn't see the warehouse directly as Yue Siliang thought, but passed through the back door of the backyard and walked along the deep alley for a long time, and then came to a series of warehouse-like places.
Yue Siliang raised his eyes and saw that there were almost no residents around, and the location where Hengji was originally located was a relatively marginal area in the county. The location of this warehouse is even more remote, and if something happens here, no one will know.
Yue Siliang and the others made a brief eye contact, and then entered the warehouse with Shopkeeper Jiao.
As soon as he entered the warehouse, Yue Siliang's brows furrowed, because Shopkeeper Jiao brought him in an empty warehouse. From the small skylight of this warehouse, Yue Siliang could vaguely see that there were things in several warehouses next to him, but Shopkeeper Jiao just brought him to this warehouse, and the other party's intentions seemed to be a little elusive.
"Shopkeeper Jiao, didn't you say take me to see the goods? Why didn't I see anything? ”
Yue Siliang's footsteps moved forward two steps without leaving a trace, and brought Shopkeeper Jiao into his controllable range.
"Mr. Gao, don't worry, although you speak beautifully, you are willing to accept my price.
But as the saying goes, the heart of defense is indispensable. I'll take you to see the goods, but do you want to show your sincerity as well? You come to see the goods with red mouth and white teeth, how do I know if you really have enough things? You see...... Isn't it? ”
Shopkeeper Jiao narrowed his eyes and rubbed his fingers with a smile. However, Yue Siliang didn't make any moves, just stared at the other party's eyes. He already smelled something different.
"What? Boss Gao doesn't have anything to say? Could it be that a few of you are here to play tricks on me today? ”
Shopkeeper Jiao's voice changed, and it seemed that he was about to turn his face.
"Shopkeeper ......"
Just when Shopkeeper Jiao was about to say something more, a guy hurriedly ran over and said a few words in Shopkeeper Jiao's ear with a somewhat panicked expression.
The voices of the two of them were very low, and even though Yue Siliang was only three or four meters away from them, he didn't hear what they were saying clearly. However, Shopkeeper Jiao's face suddenly changed greatly, and Yue Siliang saw it very clearly.
"How so! This guy is too wide, right?! ”
Shopkeeper Jiao looked angry, and seemed to be very dissatisfied with what the guy said. And the guy is also very aggrieved here, saying that he is just a messenger.
"Alright! ……”
In the end, Shopkeeper Jiao spit out these two words angrily. After taking a long breath, he turned to a different color and said to Yue Siliang and Yan Yue.
"Mr. Gao, I'm really sorry about this. This damn little guy didn't say anything sooner, and suddenly there was a little situation on the side of the shop. I'm going to have to rush back, there's still something to take care of over there...... Look here......"
Shopkeeper Jiao's words are so far, Yue Siliang still doesn't understand, I'm afraid I can only end here today.
"It's okay, Gao came in a hurry today. Otherwise, let's see if we can make an appointment another day? ”
"Okay, okay, I'll make an appointment another day, then Mr. Gao, please do it, Jiao won't send it."
Yue Siliang and Shopkeeper Jiao held each other's hands with a smile on their faces. When they walked outside the warehouse, Yue Siliang and his party and the two groups of Jiao Shopkeeper who were walking towards the city were separated.
The moment the two sides turned their backs, the faces of Shopkeeper Jiao and Yue Siliang suddenly became gloomy.
"Sir, what happened to that old fellow? I felt like he wasn't in a good mood when he was in the warehouse? ”
Lei Zi was very sensitive, and immediately put forward his own views with Yue Siliang.
"Humph! Of course, this old guy didn't have a good heart. He didn't even want us to get out of the warehouse just now! I'd rather kill the wrong one than let it go! This hand...... I'm too familiar! ”
Lei Zi didn't know why the regiment commander gritted his teeth so much when he said the six words "I'd rather kill the mistake than let it go". He wanted to ask something more, but several figures suddenly flashed in the corners of his eyes. Lei Zi was a spirit at that time, and he took out his gun and pointed it that way, and let out a violent scream in his mouth.
"Who! Come out! ”
Lei Zi's action startled several soldiers around him, and he hurriedly took out a gun from his body and pointed it in that direction.
"Don't shoot, boss! Don't shoot! I am a good citizen......
Following the shouts of the thunderbolts, two people flashed out from behind the low bushes over there. The one in front is the same as Shopkeeper Jiao, it is also a long shirt covered with a horse coat, and the material looks better than what Shopkeeper Jiao is wearing, but the style looks a little old. His face was white and clean, and he still had two green whiskers hanging from his mouth. Seeing that he is less than thirty years old, he is about the same age as Yue Siliang, but he is a little blessed. Behind him was a servant-like one, dressed in a blue coat and a small melon skin hat on his head.
"Boss, don't shoot, we are good citizens."
The man, who had a little fortune, raised his hands high to show that he had no malicious intent, and at the same time, he walked towards Yue Siliang.
When Yue Siliang looked at the man, he thought it was very interesting. Although this person's posture was surrendering, his tone and demeanor were not flustered when he spoke, and his steps were still very steady.
"Stop!"
Seeing them coming, Lei Zi raised his gun and shouted for him to stop there. This one is really obedient.
"Eh, stop, stop, I'll stop."
The other party amused Yue Siliang like this, and raised his hand to press on Lei Zi's shoulder.
"Alright, Reizi. Put the gun away, this gentleman looks innocent. ”
Several soldiers looked at each other for a moment, and then put away their guns, but the eyes of the two people staring at the opposite side were still very vigilant.
"Thank you, boss, thank you, boss......"
When the man saw Lei Zi put away his gun, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and waved at Yue Siliang again and again.
"Don't get me wrong, sir. We're not soldiers, we're just a few businessmen, and we carry guns just for self-defense. ”
"I see......"
The man muttered something in a low voice, and then bowed to Yue Siliang.
"This gentleman is invited, in Xia Zhang Yi, the local Zhang family, is now a steward in the family. I think you just walked out of Heng Kee. Does the gentleman want to make food? Our Zhang family has food, I don't know if Mr. has any ideas? ”
"Huh?"
