It's the harvest season of another year, the fertile black soil is abundant, don't look at the crops of the three eastern provinces are one season, but the output of one season is not less than the two or even three seasons in the Guannei, since the end of the Qing Dynasty allowed the people to go outside the customs to open up wasteland, the vast land of the three eastern provinces have been reclaimed.

In recent years, not only grain merchants in the Guan, but also major foreign banks have paid attention to the outside of the Guan, purchasing a large amount of grain and soybeans. After the attention of these foreigners, a new profession was born, that is, a comprador who ran errands for foreigners, they helped foreign companies purchase goods, and even opened shops and operated themselves, and this group of people quickly became rich.

Liu Wenxin is such a businessman, but strictly speaking, he is not a comprador, this guy is just a helper hired by the comprador, simply put, a slave of a minion. Of course, this is just someone else's statement, Liu Wenxin has never looked at himself like this, compared to those mud legs, he is a real successful person.

He is in charge of a county's soybean purchase, which is a very lucrative profession, after years of exploration, Liu Wenxin has mastered a set of skills to search for the common people, that is, he is proud of the business experience, this guy thinks he has figured out the way to make money, a county can no longer satisfy him.

After this year, he will be able to accumulate tens of thousands of oceans in his hands, Liu Wenxin is still working hard to learn Japanese, hoping to gain the appreciation of the Japanese, he will be able to become a new comprador, in his eyes, that is the most beautiful moment.

"Master, there are many people who ask you for a small one, when will the soybeans be officially harvested this year, everyone is waiting!"

Liu Wenxin sneered, and picked up an Oriental cigarette unhurriedly, and there was a half-exposed Japanese beauty painted on the cigarette case, Liu Wenxin's fingers slowly crossed it, and there was a trace of contempt in his eyes: "What's the hurry." Have you forgotten the rules of previous years, let's not worry, let those mud legs wait first, they came from afar, how long can they stay in the county? As long as they can't stand it and give some money, won't they sell it, we have silver in our hands these days, we are the uncle, and those mud legs are the third grandson! ”

Liu Wenxin said his business experience triumphantly. Every year, these guys don't announce the specific time of acquisition, so those ordinary people have to rush over early and wait for a good price in order to sell for a good price, which is a game of cat and mouse. When the patience of the peasants was tortured to the limit, these compradors came out to lower the price. Die and take a bite. Make a little more money.

After finishing speaking, Liu Wenxin let out a strange laugh, and the housekeeper also smiled wickedly, and stretched out two thumbs: "Master, do you want to say that you are smart?" These mud legs are sluts, don't worry about them. There is one more thing I would like to ask you for. This year, the Japanese did not send money to buy soybeans, and we don't have enough cash in hand, so let's see if we need to borrow a little. ”

"No!" Liu Wenxin waved his hand proudly: "Master, I have a new way, we won't give cash this year." Just take such a blank piece of paper, write how many paragraphs, and send it to those mud legs, and when we are in a good mood, we will give them the money, if the master is in a bad mood, press him for a year or two, I think they dare to say? ”

"Master, isn't this an empty glove white wolf, I'm afraid those mud-legged people won't agree, they still point to this money for the New Year!"

"Three, you are too stupid, what should we do if they live or die, if it really doesn't work, let's discount the price, give them thirty percent cash, in short, just starve to death, the remaining seventy percent to the white strips, I don't believe they can turn the sky, the entire three eastern provinces, in addition to the Japanese buy a large number of soybeans, who else collects? They have to sell it, and if they don't sell it, they have to sell it, and if they are not happy, they will find the Japanese! ”

Liu Wenxin said triumphantly, the third housekeeper couldn't help but hahadaxiao, these two guys looked extremely proud.

"Master, according to previous years, there have been a lot of mud legs pushing carts over, do we need to see them?"

"Okay, let's go see now, when they can't stand it, let's start buying again, remember that this year's price will be pressed, and the maximum price for a load cannot exceed two yuan six."

In Shanghai and other places, the price of a load of soybeans is basically between five or six yuan, which is very stable, and the soybeans shipped from the three eastern provinces are also more than four to four yuan and five, and the huge price difference in the middle is swallowed up by these layers of compradors.

Liu Wenxin walked swaggering on the street, and the people who saw him on both sides nodded frequently, and kept calling Liu Ye, which greatly satisfied Liu Wenxin's vanity.

In a blink of an eye, he walked past a teahouse, and the sound of singing was coming from inside, babbling, very pleasant. Liu Wenxin suddenly took his steps, and the third housekeeper also asked with a smile: "Master, do you want to listen to the play, let's go in now." ”

"What's the point of listening to the opera, sir, I want to see the people who sing the opera!"

"Then there is no problem, master, let me tell you, these plays are cheap, as long as the money is thrown out, they will leave your arms obediently, absolutely obedient and honest. If you want to go in now, with your Liu Ye's face, they will not come to your arms obediently! ”

Liu Wenxin thought for a while and said: "No need, master, I am a person with great ambitions, I can't be unclear with them, three, don't you know my mind, we can't be Japanese in this life, but if we can marry a Japanese woman, isn't this also a Japanese son-in-law, a son-in-law and a half, with a Japanese as a father-in-law, Lao Taishan, don't we have face wherever we go!" ”

"Master Gaojian!" The third child kept complimenting: "Master, you are really Zhuge reincarnated, such things have made you expect, it is simply a clever calculation, and the small one is ashamed." ”

This pair of master and servant touted each other, and came to the outside of Dongguan City, in previous years, this was the place to buy soybeans, Liu Wenxin looked at the empty space in front of him and said with a smile: "Three, last year, there was an old bad man who couldn't stand the cold and froze to death, and a few stunned boys still had to find trouble with the master, forcing the master to collect soybeans in advance, do you say this rule can be broken?" I wanted to freeze them all to death here in a fit of anger, sir. However, Zuihou thought that God had the virtue of a good life, so he collected all their soybeans, otherwise I don't know how many people froze to death! ”

"If you don't say that the old man is kind-hearted, you are the reincarnation of Guanyin Bodhisattva!" When the third child said this, he didn't feel ashamed at all, he looked around, and said with some doubts: "Master, why is the situation wrong this year, didn't anyone come?" ”

Liu Wenxin was also a little puzzled, looking around with a pair of mouse eyes. But he didn't find anything, it was empty, there was no farmer waiting, and he was a little panicked at this moment, could it be that this year's soybeans were not harvested. How could there be no ordinary people!

As he looked around, more than two dozen ox carts appeared in the distance. A squeaky creak from afar. As soon as he saw this scene, Liu Wenxin finally showed a smug smile: "I said that they won't come and sell to us, do they still have a way to live?" ”

Between the jokes, the people's ox cart procession arrived in front of them, and Liu Wenxin strode over. He waved his hand at the farmer who was at the forefront.

"Old man, just stop here, this year's acquisition hasn't started yet, and we're honestly waiting. Don't run around, or you'll miss the opportunity, and you'll have no place to cry! ”

Saying that, Liu Wenxin said loudly, arrogant to the extreme. The old farmer looked at him and asked a little puzzled: "What's the matter with you, the countryside has posted notices, saying that the soybeans will be harvested today, why do you tell us not to collect them?" ”

"Old man, are you dreaming? When I was harvesting soybeans, I told the time, I think you were kicked in the head by a donkey, and you want to be blind! ”

"How dare you curse?" The old farmer looked angry, at this time a group of ox carts came from the other direction, and the leader was also a forty or fifty-year-old farmer, who still looked like the village chief, he also knew Liu Wenxin, walked a few steps, and said to the old farmer: "Brother, don't listen to his nonsense, we don't have to sell it to this kid this year, and there are other people who buy soybeans, the price is better, and there is no need to wait!" ”

When Liu Wenxin heard this, he immediately frowned, and snorted in his nose: "Didn't wake up from sleep?" Apart from Liu Ye, who else can buy soybeans, aren't you dreaming? ”

While he was talking, a procession came out of the city gate, led by a middle-aged man in his thirties, dressed like a bookkeeper.

He walked in front of all the farmers and arched his hand: "Fellow villagers, entrusted by the Fengtian government, Fengtian Trading Company officially began to purchase soybeans, three oceans per load of high-quality soybeans, cash transactions, money and goods, you don't have to worry, and then line up here, and then someone will take you over to weigh, and then take the withdrawal form, go to the special office window of Fengtian Bank, you can withdraw money, everyone can rest assured, how much we collect!" ”

As soon as these farmers heard the news, they all put their hearts in their stomachs, and a happy smile appeared on their faces, and they quickly lined up the line, and the first ox cart entered the city gate, and turned to the left, which was the warehouse where soybeans were purchased.

After confirming that it was correct, the old farmer took the withdrawal slip to the cash office of Fengtian Bank, two hundred meters away, handed over the withdrawal slip, and immediately a pile of brand-new vouchers arrived in his hand.

He sold a total of 1,500 catties, that is, 15 quintals, 3 yuan a quintal, a total of 45 yuan, if in previous years, the price was low, and he would suffer a loss when weighing, the same soybeans, can get in their early thirties, they will burn high incense, and now there are about half more, how can this farmer not be happy!

"Fellow, you can withdraw money directly from this withdrawal form, if you are not in a hurry to use it, you can also store it in the bank, calculate interest for you every day, and withdraw it when you want!"

"No, no, it's better to get the money in your hands, and this heart is steady!"

The staff also understood the mentality of these farmers, and smiled kindly, the farmer took the money and went out of Dongguan in a blink of an eye, and it didn't take twenty minutes before and after, at this time, the follow-up clarifications also poured in, and they were carried out in an orderly manner.

Seeing that more and more farmers were selling soybeans to the Fengtian Trading Company, Liu Wenxin saw it in his eyes, his eyebrows were raised, isn't this robbing his own business! The guy strode in.

"What the hell are you doing, do you know the rules? In previous years, these soybeans were purchased by our family, why did you meddle this year, you don't inquire, who is Lao Tzu for, behind me is the Japanese, it is Nissin Oil Factory! ”

"I don't care who you are, if you interfere with our normal work again, I will send you to prison, and I tell you, don't scare us with the Japanese, buy and sell freely, he Japanese can't control it!"

Several guards in charge of maintaining order rushed over, lifted Liu Wenxin, and threw him aside like a chicken, and slammed him to the ground.

Many old farmers who sent soybeans knew him, and when he saw that this guy was so embarrassed, the resentment in his heart was finally vented, and he couldn't help but applaud! (To be continued......)
