The name Li Ba fell into Liang Shaoping's sight very early.

As the uncrowned king of the West Port, if you want to control this settlement city, intelligence agencies must be indispensable. On the day of the opening of the Harvest Commercial Bank, all the information about Li Ba had been placed on Liang Shaoping's desk.

Timid and afraid, lustful and greedy for money, he can still stick to the bottom line of human nature, save a weak girl, and rely on each other for his life.

This kind of extremely two-sided person, Liang Shaoping has seen it for the first time. He has always been full of curiosity about Li Ba, and instructed his subordinate intelligence agencies to pay attention silently.

Until the opening of the Harvest Trading House, the unique marketing techniques, and the best-selling bean sprouts. makes the name Li Ba often walk into Liang Shaoping's sight.

Later, the Harvest Company cooperated with the Research Institute. Li Ba shows off his talent as a wood-based ability. Under his leadership, the firm rose strongly in just a few months and became a new force.

In this regard, Liang Shaoping paid more attention. Several times I planned to send someone to invite and get acquainted. But for some reason, the idea was dismissed. Now that the turmoil in the settlement is about to arise, he reached a consensus with the research institute as soon as possible to hold this banquet to attract a number of merchants in the city, and at the same time take this opportunity to explore the bottom of Li Ba.

When Li Ba walked in, Liang Shaoping found that the young man's appearance and body shape were not the same as described in the information. If he remembered correctly, this young man should have been a fat man, but now he was the opposite, the other party was tall and muscular, with angular facial features, and was very handsome.

It's just that the iconic big bald head makes people look a little out of harmony.

The moment Li Ba entered the door, he saw that there were four people inside. Three of them all looked strange, and only one long-haired beauty was an old acquaintance.

This beauty is naturally Han Xue.

With a sweep of his gaze, Li Ba immediately locked on the second place on his right hand, a middle-aged man wearing a major's uniform. This person has a dark complexion, a resolute gaze, and a typical military temperament. At the same time, Li Ba sensed a hint of danger in him.

Since he had the Devil Crying Vine, he practiced often, which made Li Ba's mental power skyrocket. Although he didn't have Yang Jian's mutated telekinesis to control things, he had extremely keen senses and could sense the dangerous aura from his surroundings.

Now, the four people in the box all have an aura that makes him feel dangerous. It's just that the middle-aged officer is the strongest, half a point stronger than the sense of danger that Long Sihai gave him.

Obviously, this is the uncrowned king of the western settlement, the official leader, Major Liang Shaoping.

"Cousin, let me introduce you to this is Major Liang, the chairman of the management committee."

Luo Jianguo followed in. Introduce them one by one for Li Ba. In addition to Liang Shaoping and Han Xue, the remaining two men are also members of the management committee. One is named Wang Feng, who is also the captain of the Evolution Brigade. The other is named Kang Dawei, who is also the director of the material department and Luo Jianguo's immediate boss.

"Lucky to be lucky"

Li Ba smiled and stepped forward to say hello.

The moment he entered the door, Luo Jianguo's resolute face also showed a faint smile.

"You may be seated"

He didn't say much, and directly invited Li Ba to sit down. Capable and quite military-style.

The inside of the box is very luxuriously decorated, a large desk is placed in the window, Liang Shaoping and the four of them are sitting opposite, and Luo Jianguo is standing next to him with a smile. Li Ba faced the blazing eyes of the four people, and there was a feeling of being interrogated as a prisoner.

After he sat down, he rubbed his nose, turned to Luo Jianguo and said, "Cousin, you can sit too." ”

"I won't sit, just stand." Luo Jianguo rubbed his hands. In front of these four, he is a deputy director of the material department, and he has no qualifications to sit down.

"Director Luo, everyone is not an outsider, sit down."

Under Liang Shaoping's order, Luo Jianguo had a seat. However, he pulled a chair and sat in the corner next to him, because he knew in his heart that today's protagonist was his cousin Li Ba.

"Liang speaks straightforwardly, so he won't go around the corner."

Then, Liang Shaoping spoke slowly and directly to the topic, "I invited Boss Li to come over today, I want to ask you for help." ”

Dealing with soldiers is also worry-free, and there is no need to waste your tongue. After hearing this, Li Ba nodded and replied: "Okay, if there is anything, as long as I can do it, Major Liang will command"

Liang Shaoping was still very satisfied with Li Ba's attitude, pondered for a while, and said slowly: "In the autumn of troubled times, Xibu needs a strong government agency to lead the survivors through this disaster. And now, some people want to challenge the rules and order set by the government, what does Boss Li think about this?"

"I'm just a businessman, and I don't have political awareness."

Li Ba grinned: "No matter who is in charge, as long as it does not harm the interests of the Harvest Trading Bank, I have no opinion." ”

His words were obvious, and he meant that he did not want to get involved in the struggle between the two major forces.

"If there is chaos in Xibu, you want to be alone, is it possible?"

Liang Shaoping's face remained unchanged. Han Xue couldn't help but sneer.

"Your harvest firm has gained a lot of benefits from materials, and now it seems a little unkind to want to clear up the relationship."

Kang Dawei, director of the materials department, said with a smile. Out of the corner of his eye, he looked at Luo Jianguo, who was sitting in the corner next to him, who was panicked when he saw it, and quickly stood up and persuaded Li Ba: "Cousin, our material department has always taken care of you, but now that you have difficulties, you can't leave it alone."

Luo Jianguo said with a wry smile on his face. His statement was half sincere, and half forced to be helpless. He used his authority to make profits for Li Ba's trading house, which is not a big deal at a small level. But if he goes online, he is abusing his power for personal gain and will be punished.

At the same time, the status of an official public official leaves him with no choice but to stand on the side of the official.

"Well said."

Li Ba threw a reassuring look at his cheap cousin, and then, his eyes turned to Liang Shaoping, sighed, and said, "Major Liang, you still have something to say."

Liang Shaoping's resolute face showed a faint smile, and said: "It's very simple, we need your firm to do its best to boost the liquidity of food stamps."

"Liquidity"

Li Ba pretended not to understand.

"To put it bluntly, your harvest trading house will take out all the materials to ensure the normal trading of grain stamps in the market." Wang Feng added a sentence on the side.

This time it was very clear. Li Ba couldn't pretend to be stunned if he wanted to, so he could only face it.

"Three hours ago, Long Sihai went to my place."

Li Ba looked at his watch and said unhurriedly: "The conflict between this and your official, to be honest, I know very well. I believe that his purpose in going to my place cannot be concealed from you. ”

"What conditions does Long Sihai offer?" Liang Shaoping asked in a deep voice.

"The meeting gift is only five or six hundred first-order crystal nuclei, and ten second-order crystal nuclei. However, our dragon master let go, and there will be great benefits to be sent in the future, including fifty second-level crystal nuclei, 1,000 tons of grain materials, and all the circulating grain stamps I have on hand, all of which will be cashed by the Four Seas Commercial Bank. ”

Li Ba didn't hide it at all, and told all the benefits promised by Long Sihai. At the same time, he looked over and saw that the faces of the four people opposite him were all ugly. Especially Liang Shaoping, with a black face and gloomy like water.

"What did you promise him?"

In the middle of the sound, Liang Shaoping looked at Li Ba and asked slowly.

"Of course not."

Li Ba shook his head, "This is a matter between you, I'm just an ordinary businessman and don't want to get involved." ”

Liang Shaoping listened, and his face softened significantly.

"Work with us and you'll get everything you want."

He stared at Li Ba and said word by word: "On behalf of the management committee, I promise that after this matter is settled, I will do my best to compensate and reward your firm." ”

He didn't say what to reward or what to compensate. For Li Ba, this is tantamount to writing a blank check, which has no meaning.

With Li Ba's character, if you don't see a rabbit or an eagle, of course you won't suffer this loss.

"Compensation rewards or something, it doesn't matter. I just want to ask Major Liang that if there is a large-scale run in the city, the official grain bank can last for a few days."

"Five days"

Liang Shaoping replied very simply.

"Your official grain bank can only last for five days, and I'm afraid that a small commercial bank won't last for half a day."

Li Ba directly said his difficulties at this moment, "I still have a large group of employees to support my family, and it is impossible to take my whole wealth for this senseless dispute."

Liang Shaoping seemed to have expected him to say this, smiled, pointed to the door, and said, "More than half of the businesses in Xibu City are outside. With the help of you and them, the pressure of the grain run can be reduced, and it will definitely not be a problem to last for ten days and a half. ”

"We have a complete plan in place, and we will start an operation to clean up the town of Wujiang in the near future. As long as Wujiang Town is taken, the materials collected are enough to withstand the impact of the run," Wang Feng added on the side.
