"I heard that there is a group of big bosses in the village who specialize in collecting medicinal materials, and they are rich businessmen from Shandong, and several of them have got the money. Let's take a look..."

"It's like digging a few shovels in the ground and giving a few pieces of silver. ”

"Are there really so many? What kind of herbs are they, how come they have never been seen before?"

"You don't care what kind of medicinal herbs he has, we don't know each other, it's a waste to put it in the ground, since someone wants it, we can't help but earn this money." ”

The villagers were talking about it while speeding up their pace to find the group.

After waiting for about half an hour, hundreds of people came, and these people were eager to dig in their fields. At the suggestion of several old people in the village, everyone quieted down and listened to the rich businessman from Shandong.

Feng Shan arched his hand and said: "Fellow villagers, I came from other places and didn't know much about this place, but when I was walking on the outskirts of the city a few days ago, I accidentally passed by your village and found medicinal herbs that can be used below. You have good soil here, which is very suitable for the growth of that kind of medicinal herb. To tell you the truth, these herbs are useful in our hands, but they are useless in your hands. ”

When the people heard this, they clamored and shouted that each of them would say his own thing, and that this one would give five cents, and the other that one penny would be enough.

Or the old men asked the villagers not to mess around, and let the rich businessmen speak first.

Feng Shan continued: "That's it, let's take our time, dig ten every day, let's unify it, each family will give two dollars of silver, you see if it's okay, if you think the price is low, you can discuss it again." ”

With that, he walked away and gave everyone room to discuss.

The villagers discussed for a while, and finally a few old men made a decision and asked for three coins of silver.

As representatives, the old men came to talk to Feng Shan.

Several old men in Liujia Village spoke quite well, and they did not bargain like most businessmen, so Feng Shan, who was a wealthy businessman in Shandong, readily agreed.

When the sun was setting, Feng Shan touched the thick fake beard on his chin, and finally reached a verbal agreement with everyone, in order to show his sincerity, Feng Shan paid in advance the silver of the ten families that he would dig tomorrow.

The next day, Fengshan and his party came to Liujia Village early and continued to dig. balance

The old man Liu Dezhang is a respected old man in Liujia Village, and the villagers will find him to mediate any conflicts.

He didn't pay much attention to it when he first heard that a wealthy merchant had come to their village to collect medicinal herbs, and he often had all kinds of merchants collecting things from their village.

But later, when I heard that it was a medicinal herb that grew in the land, Liu Dezhang felt strange. Their village is relatively barren land, and only some necessary crops can grow on the ground, and their ancestors have never heard of it being suitable for the growth of medicinal herbs. So Liu Dezhang came with everyone.

After a brief chat with a Shandong businessman who claimed to be surnamed Huang, Liu Dezhang thought that this group of people was here to collect medicinal materials, not to deceive the people of Liujia Village and to get a trick from the villagers. This is not to blame Liu Dezhang for being cautious, after all, more than once outsiders have come to Liujia Village to buy things that should be quite valuable from the villagers at a very low price. For example, almost everyone in Liujia Village once had a kind of teapot left by their ancestors, the teapot looks very ordinary, and the biggest difference between the teapot on the market seems to be the drop resistance point, and later I learned that the texture of this teapot is a very rare kind of jade, and in those days this teapot sold very well in the capital, and a few copper plates can be sold for one or two silver.

The people who have suffered losses actually do not have a long memory, and they may regret it afterwards, but after all, they have eaten too little frustration, and it will not take long to forget the pain. Every time a new temptation is placed in front of them, they will repeat the same mistakes and be deceived in ignorance.

Later, the old men told everyone not to agree indiscriminately.

But everyone nodded like garlic at the time, but unfortunately when it came to the end, they must have been confused and deceived again.

But this time, the old man was sure that he was right.

This bearded Shandong businessman surnamed Huang spoke in a clear manner, and did not show that he looked down on their countrymen. There is one thing to say, saying that he is willing to spend money to buy medicinal materials in the fields of your Liujia Village, which can indeed make the villagers earn more income, but he also made it clear that he collected medicinal materials for profit, but we each earn our own money, if you are willing, we will make a deal, if you are unwilling, we will not be reluctant, we will go to other places to find it. But Liu Lao, you have to figure this matter out, let's talk about as much silver as we have today, don't change tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, it will be unruly.

When Liu Dezhang heard the rich businessman say this, his heart was relieved, because what the rich businessman said showed that this person really wanted to do business, not to please him. A clever person will not say such a thing, because once the villager is upset with these words, the villager will probably ignore him. To please a businessman must be a coaxing with good words. Only those who really want to do business are not afraid of business collapse, because it is better to talk about it than to do it at a loss.

"Brother Huang, why are you so polite?" Liu Dezhang saw that the rich merchant brought some food and drink to the villagers.

Feng Shan said: "It's not worth a few dollars, everyone is just lively, we outsiders go out all the year round, and we are happy to see the villagers in Liujia Village." Mr. Liu, how many sips do you have?" As he spoke, Feng Shan picked up a jar of wine, picked up two wine glasses, and handed Liu Dezhang a glass.

Liu Dezhang usually drinks, but he is not fond of alcohol, and he takes the wine glass full of aroma, which is obviously a good wine. smiled: "Then I'm not welcome the old man." "Drain the glass of wine.

"Brother Huang, I see that the medicinal materials you received are very mysterious, and so far the old man has not seen the appearance of the medicinal materials you received. Forgive me for asking more, the land in our direction is barren, and it is not suitable for growing anything other than crops. Liu Dezhang said.

Feng Shan smiled, and pulled Liu Dezhang to the side to take a few steps to avoid the crowd: "I won't tell you anything, although the land in Liujia Village is relatively barren, you should also know that even if it is barren land, it is sometimes more conducive to the growth of a certain kind of thing." Just like the cactus in the desert, the poplar in the desert, if you move those trees to the rainy Jiangnan, you won't be able to live. The medicinal herbs we collected happened to be very suitable for growing on the land of Liujia Village, so I said, this is called fate. It is also the luck of those of us who sell medicinal herbs, and it is Liu Lao who gives face to the villagers. This is called the right time, place and people, all of them are indispensable, so I am very happy in the next, and whether I earn money or not has become secondary. ”
