Chapter 224: Rich Young Master
The profiteers were really resolute, and in just an hour's time, the grain had been delivered to the barracks.
Liu He personally went to inspect it, and to his surprise, not only did there be no problems with this batch of grain, but it was also new grain this year.
In any case, at least now the problem of military rations is solved.
Coming out of the barracks, Liu He was complacent all the way, and as soon as he returned to his residence, he happened to bump into Hua Chi who was about to go out.
Hearing that the military rations had doubled, Hua Chi was even more overjoyed, and said to Liu He that as long as it takes five days, this matter will be completed within five days.
After speaking, Hua Chi left in a hurry.
Looking at Hua Chi's back, Liu He couldn't help but be a little curious, and he didn't know what this kid was capable of, so that those profiteers who ate people without spitting out bones took the initiative to open a warehouse and release grain.
Early the next morning, in the streets and alleys of Jiangxia City, an interesting story suddenly circulated.
There is a rich young master, last night he chartered the most famous drunken red mansion in Jiangxia City, and opened the door, no matter who it is, as long as he calls him a son, he can enter the drunken red mansion to play at will, and the food, drink and play are all counted in the account of the rich young master.
It is said that good things don't go out and bad things spread thousands of miles, and the news of this kind of gentleman spending all day and drinking is naturally spreading in Jiangxia City, and there are even rumors in the market that this rich son and his father are a rich giant, otherwise how could he make such a move of spending a lot of money?
You know, what kind of place is the Drunken Red Mansion? As the most famous place in Jiangxia City, no matter how much silver you carry in your pocket when you enter the door, you can let no one of your eldest sons come out.
How many children of the big clan were stripped of their clothes and thrown out by the evil servants of the drunken Red Mansion the next day in order to slap their swollen faces and become fat.
But when the rich young master came out of the drunken Red Mansion early in the morning, not only was the money bag still bulging, but he also looked unsatisfied, and he called friends and pulled a large number of people to go to Yanqilou, the best restaurant in Jiangxia City, to have morning tea.
A person like this who has a lot of money will naturally have a large group of people around him. This rich young master is really generous, when he arrives at Yan Yan Tower, he directly charters the venue, as long as the people who come with him, all the food is counted in his account.
came and went, everyone wanted to be close to him, and he was quite approachable, without any arrogance, and really talked to those who met for the first time and didn't even know their names.
chatting and chatting, he talked about the purpose of his visit to Jiangxia City this time.
It is said that this rich young master came to Jiangxia this time because his father asked him to do business, but he was not familiar with life and didn't know what to do.
People with good deeds told him that the best thing that Jiangxia City sells now is grain.
This was a joke, everyone knew that all the grain in Jiangxia City was now in the hands of those profiteers, but they didn't expect that when the rich young master heard it, he immediately slapped his thigh, ran to the street and bought a shop, saying that he was going to open a grain shop.
This shop is quite big, but where does the food come from?
The grain around Jiangxia City has long been sold out, and even if you have money, there is nowhere to buy it.
Originally, these people thought that this rich young master was a loser who dared to do anything as soon as he slapped his head, but they didn't expect that after only half a day's effort, truckloads of grain were continuously transported into this newly opened grain shop.
The people of Jiangxia City were boiling all at once, and they all ran to this only place in the city that supplied food all day to line up.
At first, the people were still worried, and they didn't know what the food of this family would become, but they didn't expect that this rich young master was really benevolent and righteous, and he didn't mean to sit on the ground at all, and let out the words, how much money was used before, and how much money is still now.
At this time, the people were completely relieved, and the reputation of the rich young master rose in an instant, even to the point where he could compete with the Jiangxia City Lord Liu Dagongzi.
The people were happy, but some couldn't sit still.
The rich businessmen led by Mr. Zhang, seeing this little bastard who had not yet grown his hair ruined his good deeds like this, hated them one by one.
But when you think about it, haven't you only been selling for a day? I don't believe that you really have such a great ability, you can bring so much grain every day, and you can eat the people in Jiangxia City.
However, this little bastard's ability is really so great, and the next morning, another batch of grain was delivered, and there was more than the first day.
At this time, Master Zhang couldn't sit still, and hurriedly set up a table of banquets in Yan Yan Tower, wanting to invite the rich young master to the banquet.
Unexpectedly, the rich young master threw the invitation into the brazier in front of the people of the city at the door of his shop, and let out a word, saying that he would not be in the same league as this gang of war-making and wealthy guys.
When the people heard this, they were really happy, and they said excitedly that from now on, they would never patronize the shops of those profiteers, even if they sold cheaper than you, Son, and would never set foot in their shops again.
The rich young master also seemed to be a lover, and immediately said impassionedly that it must be cheaper than what other families sell.
The profiteers wanted to test it, and the next day they secretly began to sell grain, and it was cheaper than what the rich young master sold, but they didn't expect that the people who had to shop around for everything on weekdays really didn't come to the door.
And not only that, after the rich young master learned the price of other houses, he immediately waved his pen and lowered the price!
The profiteers gritted their teeth, okay, if you play this game with me, I will play with you to the end!
As a result, it was still 30 yuan a pound of grain in the morning, and after repeated price reductions from both sides, in the afternoon, it was already 10 yuan a pound.
The profiteers are all dumbfounded, is this kid crazy?
They know best what the market around Jiangxia is, this price, let alone making money, is not even enough to buy it, if it is sold like this, this kid will not have to lose all his money?
As a result, a scene that made them even more jaw-dropping appeared, this time it was the people who took the initiative to ask for it, and they still gave the money at the price of thirty wen a catty.
Profiteers, look at me, I look at you, and I can't say a word anymore.
After doing business for so many years, it is the first time I have seen a buyer who took the initiative to ask for a price increase.
The people still did not give up, scolded the profiteers for their shamelessness, and told the rich young master that even if the price of those profiteers was low, they would not patronize it, but you are different, if you sell it like this, you will lose it.
These words moved the rich young master with a handful of snot and tears, saying that he was afraid of his father's scolding, but he didn't want to see the people suffer, so he couldn't stop thanking everyone, so he sent his own group of food and clothing parents to kneel down and kowtow.
The profiteers saw it in their eyes and immediately understood.
