Chapter 16: Li Peiji
At this time in the mansion, a middle-aged man with a thin body and a gloomy face was sighing, and a middle-aged woman dressed in a simple body without a piece of jewelry looked at the middle-aged man with some anxiety, if Chu Ming was here, he could see at a glance that the middle-aged man was the Li Peiji he wanted to see, after all, Li Peiji's face was seven or eight points similar to the face of the actor who played him in the movie.
"Natural disasters, military disasters, compatriots in the Central Plains, it's not that I don't want to save you, it's really no way, no ability, there is no food in ZQ, there are some in the hands of the southerners, but they are all businessmen, how can they be willing to take out food for disaster relief? This matter is not my Li Peiji's fault, don't resent me" Li Peiji rubbed his temples and said, the affairs of HN Province are about to make Li Peiji sad, starve for thousands of miles, and the entire HN is out of harvest, Li Peiji can't turn food even if he has great ability, and the RB people are about to fight, I don't know how long the national army can resist, many things can not be solved by being honest and honest.
"Master, there is no endless road, I believe that God is open-eyed, the difficulties in front of you will pass, you don't have to worry too much, it's useless to worry, you are worried about the body, even if there is food, who will go to disaster relief?" At this time, Li Peiji's wife really couldn't stand it, and hurriedly dissuaded, "Hey, ZQ said, at most, the most, with the strength of the whole country, it will give me 90 million catties of food, and half of the troops on the front line, and only 45 million catties of grain in my hands, HN tens of millions of victims, one catty or two catties per person?" Enough to eat for a few days? Did it work? Can I not worry? If tens of millions of people starve to death under my Li Peiji's rule, I am afraid that I, Li Peiji, will go to the eighteenth layer of hell after death! Li Peiji said, and the old lady became sad when she heard it.
"Report!" At this time, the voice of a soldier came from Li Peiji's door, "Come in" Li Peiji said weakly, presumably there must be another general from the front-line army who came to ask for food.
"What's the matter, say, all those who ask for food will not reply" Li Peiji opened his mouth with a helpless sentence, "Senior official, a family came outside, saying that there was a large amount of food in hand, and wanted to talk to you about cooperation, I don't think it was fake, I came to inform you" The soldier is still conscientious, and he still does things after receiving the ocean from the old club.
"What? There is a lot of grain, how much is there? As soon as Li Peiji heard the word grain, he jumped up instantly, "I don't know, he didn't elaborate, he just said that he wanted to meet and talk with you" The soldier said, "Then what are you waiting for, invite them in, madam, quickly ask the maid to make tea, you must not let these grains escape!" Li Peiji was completely crazy at this time, for the sake of food, he was willing to do anything he could.
"Yes" After hearing this, the soldier hurriedly went out, and after a while, the old owner and Chu Ming came in, and as for the stars and bolts, they were arranged in the courtyard, after all, it was inconvenient for the young lady to get out of the car.
"Ah, under Li Peiji, who are the two of you?" Li Peiji saw that Chu Ming and his old club hurriedly greeted him, as long as he could take out hundreds of thousands of catties of grain this year, Li Peiji was willing to make him his guest.
"In Xia Chu Ming, this is my old Taishan" Chu Ming opened his mouth and said, although the old club is a human spirit, but the first time he saw a big official like Li Peiji, he was also a little stunned in his heart, "Okay, Mr. Chu is really a talent, come, drink tea" Li Peiji hurriedly agreed, Chu Ming smiled bitterly, he really didn't think how handsome he was, he could make the governor of a province praise him, Li Peiji didn't like the food in Chu Ming's hands.
"Senior Officer Li, I won't go around in circles with you anymore, I know you're in a hurry, so I'll just say it bluntly, I have food in my hands, a lot, a lot, I want to cooperate with Senior Officer Li" Chu Ming looked a little anxious and said simply, "Okay, Mr. Chu is quick to talk, I like it, I don't know how much food Mr. Chu can provide?" Now that HN Province is like this, tens of millions of catties of food may not be enough," Li Peiji finally asked the question he was most concerned about.
"Tens of millions of catties are not enough? Are tens of millions of tons enough? Chu Ming took a sip of the teacup at this time and said, Li Peiji heard that the teacup in his hand was not served properly, and fell directly to the ground and broke into several pieces.
"What? What did you say? Tens of millions of tons? Mr. Chu, don't dare to joke about this kind of thing" Li Peiji said solemnly at this time, Li Peiji, as a high-ranking official, has really never seen what tens of millions of tons of grain looks like, the old owner didn't say a word, he didn't know the details of the foreign devil in Chu Ming's mouth, for fear that if he said the wrong thing, he couldn't afford to offend a high-ranking official.
"This kind of thing that wants to lose my head, how can I talk nonsense, I am following the path of foreigners, I know people in the United States and the United Kingdom, especially in the United States, as long as the price is right, there is no problem with tens of millions of tons of grain" Chu Ming said to Li Peiji at this time, Li Peiji was excited for a long time and finally calmed himself down, and the next person came over and cleaned up Li Peiji's broken teacup, and then replaced Li Peiji with a new teacup, but at this time, Li Peiji was worried that the price Chu Ming wanted was too high, and there was no way, Now is the time to make a fortune, Li Peiji is worried that the food in Chu Ming's hands is not only his own, but even ZQ can't afford it.
"Food, I definitely want it, Mr. Chu will talk about the price first, I hope Mr. Chu can see the national righteousness and give the compatriots in the Central Plains a way to live, Peiji has thanked him here" Li Peiji got up at this time, and was about to salute Chu Ming, so frightened that Chu Ming hurriedly grabbed Li Peiji, "Senior Officer Li, if this is the case, I will turn around and leave" Chu Ming said threateningly, Li Peiji saluted He can't stand it, he really can't stand it, after all, Chu Ming has no identity now.
"It's Pei Ji who is reckless" Li Peiji reacted dissatisfied, knowing that his actions had aroused Chu Ming's disgust, "ZQ's banknotes and vouchers, I won't ask for them, and foreign devils don't recognize that thing, I hope you can understand" Chu Ming said at this time, "I understand, understand" Li Peiji hurriedly agreed, but in fact, no foreigner recognized the ZQ government's vouchers at this time, ZQ's vouchers are almost toilet paper, and Chu Ming is understandable for doing so.
"Gold, and then antiques, especially calligraphy and painting, porcelain, the price is negotiable, if Senior Officer Li uses gold to buy grain, then we will rise by two percent according to the current price of grain in the United States, after all, the Americans want to pass through the sea blockade of the little devils to send us food, and we also need to pay a great price, and if we are not careful, the ship will be destroyed and people will die, and it should be more expensive" After Chu Ming finished speaking, Li Peiji was ecstatic in his heart, according to the price of grain in the United States? And only 20% of the money is added to the doorstep, this is simply a free gift, the grain in the United States is much cheaper than the grain in China, not to mention at this time, if what Chu Ming said is true, then the grain is in hand, Li Peiji will not say that it is disaster relief, even if it is sold to the south, it will be a lot of money.
"Mr. Chu, on behalf of the Central Plains compatriots, thank you, Mr. Chu understands the righteousness and is simply a model for my generation, I will definitely send a message to ask for a reward for Mr. Chu" At this time, Li Peiji grabbed Chu Ming's hand and said, his words were very excited.
"Hey, Senior Officer Li, you listen to me, listen to me" Chu Ming pressed Li Peiji's shoulder to calm Li Peiji down, "When trading, I want cash, foreign devils don't give me credit" As soon as Chu Ming said this, Li Peiji immediately made a difficulty, Chu Ming's grain price is very low, Li Peiji really wants it, but gold, where can Li Peiji get it? ZQ has a little bit of gold reserves, and it has to support the use of wars, if there is no gold, I am afraid that all countries will not lend to the ZQ government again, and there will be no money to buy guns and cannons, what will happen to the front line? ZQ's gold is untouchable.
"Senior Officer Li, it's not that I'm unkind, the Americans won't give me food if they can't see gold" Chu Ming explained, "I understand, I understand" Li Peiji also knew that this was not something that Chu Ming could decide, after all, according to Chu Ming, he was just a middleman, grain was in the hands of the Americans, there was no gold, it was a time of war, foreign devils would definitely not give food, and it would not work to play white strips, the anti-Japanese situation was unclear, in case the national army was defeated, wouldn't the white strips become blank paper?
"If Senior Officer Li feels embarrassed, then I'll give you an idea" Chu Ming said at this time, "Mr. Chu, you just say" Li Peiji will not be Chu Ming's ink at any time, "Antiques, foreign devils are very obsessed with our antiques, especially porcelain and calligraphy and painting, gold and silver jewelry, I am in charge of a good porcelain, ten tons of grain, a good calligraphy and painting I will produce twenty tons of grain, as for ancient books, I will produce fifty tons of grain!" What do you think? As soon as Chu Ming said this, he felt that his heart was already black, ten tons of grain was only 20,000 catties, and in modern times, 20,000 catties of grain is less than 20,000 yuan, but a good porcelain, let alone 20,000 yuan, two million can't be beaten.
"Really?" Li Peiji got up in an instant and said, "Of course, how dare I joke with Senior Officer Li?" But I still want some gold, and I want to use it as a deposit, which is something that can't be helped" Chu Ming then added, no way, he went to the real world to get grain, especially a large amount of grain, which is obviously unrealistic in China, so he can only go to the United States, Australia, these big grain-producing countries to see, antique auctions are too slow, gold is the hard currency in the world!
"Okay, okay, I'll find a way, think of a way, the fastest, when will Mr. Chu be able to get the first batch of grain?" Li Peiji couldn't help but ask, the current situation is very urgent, and if it is delayed, it is estimated that there will be no need for disaster relief, because the victims are starving to death.
"A week, the premise is that I get the deposit" Chu Ming thought for a while and said, going to the real world to get a few hundred, thousands of tons of grain should be a very simple thing, some grain dealers are a few truckloads of grain, thousands of tons of grain no one will care at all, "Okay, I'll go to ZQ to generate electricity, and get some gold for Mr. Chu back" Li Peiji really wanted to send a report to ZQ after speaking, "Hey, Senior Officer Li, I still have a word, of course, I just want to give you an idea, after I finish speaking, you will treat me as if I didn't say anything." Chu Ming said at this time, "Mr. Chu, but it doesn't hurt to say it" Li Peiji regarded Chu Ming as an ancestor at this time.
"There are a lot of people who have gold in the country, and they should take it out when the country is in trouble, and there are so many burial goods in the tombs of those emperors, instead of sleeping underground, it is better to do something good for our children and grandchildren!" After Chu Ming finished speaking, he picked up the teacup and drank tea, pretending not to say anything, but Li Peiji's eyes were full of brilliance after listening to it.
