Tongfu Restaurant.

Qian Donglai swept around the people present with his bloodshot tired eyes.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the liquidated damages are right in front of you, please count them."

In these days, businessmen who voluntarily admit to breach of contract and are willing to pay liquidated damages are rarer than turtles with words on their shells.

The people under Qian Donglai frequently exchanged glances at the boxes of silver.

They are all ordered to do things, and they belong to the kind of big girl who takes the key and is not in charge.

"I take the liberty of asking, is it true that Master Qian can't raise food?"

As soon as this sentence came out, everyone looked at each other in private.

The largest grain store in Zhongli County can't get any grain, which shows how serious the current food crisis is.

The role of food is becoming more and more important in such a situation.

"There's nothing more expensive than food now."

"In terms of the current market, it is indeed expensive and cheap."

"It's ......"

…………

Before receiving the order, they had to use some gossip to kill time with Qian Dong.

Qian Dongren always felt that this group of 'profiteers' was like passing through the anger in advance, and they were holding back their bad and embarrassing people.

"It is clearly written in black and white, if you can't deliver the grain, you will pay compensation, since Qian is willing to pay the liquidated damages in full, what are you not satisfied with." Qian Donglai held back his anger.

The young man at the head turned his face to the two walnuts in his hand, and said slowly: "Since Master Qian mentioned the supply contract, let's also have a good fight with you, it is five times true, but whether it is five times the grain or five times the silver, the supply contract is not clearly stipulated." Therefore, whether it is food or silver is still up for debate. ”

As he spoke, the young man asked his entourage to put the signed deed in front of Qian Donglai.

When carefully reading the provisions on the deed, Qian Donglai was instantly dumbfounded, and defended in a trembling voice: "Your Excellency is buying grain with silver, if we can't deliver enough grain, it will naturally be to pay for silver, how can we pay for grain." ”

"Master Qian doesn't need to defend himself, I don't want to embarrass you with the imprecise mistakes in the deed." After a pause, the young man sitting in the first seat slowly got up, swept a small half circle, and then said: "I heard that Master Qian has a lot of food stamps with Changxing ticket numbers in his hand, since Master Qian can't send people to collect food for the time being, we are willing to do it for you." ”

As soon as the news came out, the whole hall was in an uproar.

"Master Qian still has food stamps in his hand?"

"You can exchange the voucher for food, and Master Qian can hand over the grain voucher to us."

"Master Qian, you can give us the food stamps, and the silver will be free."

"Yes, the purpose of my trip is to buy grain, and I will go back with a cart of silver to pay the errand, what is this called?"

…………

Everyone, you say a word to me, a look of expensive grains and cheap gold and jade.

Qian Donglai's face was gloomy, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, as if he had found a word of justification, and kindly reminded: "I listen to your accent is a foreigner, you may not know the truth of this county, a few days ago, the county's parents and officials issued the strictest ban on grain trafficking, once those who dare to traffic grain to the outside world are caught, not only will all be confiscated, but prison will also be inevitable." ”

The people were still unmoved, and they were determined to ask for food.

"Don't bother with the money, just hand over the food stamps to me, and I'll try to get through the way." Master Qian only needs to know that no matter how much silver he has, he can't eat it. In this year, food can save lives. ”

The young man's words were on everyone's minds.

"Why does Master Qian admit that he has broken the contract when he has grain in his hand to deliver it, isn't this enough to show the importance of grain?"

…………

Just when Qian Donglai was arguing with a group of 'merchants' over whether to give silver or deliver grain, Qian Donglai's housekeeper broke in with a frightened expression.

"What's so flustered?" Qian Donglai was full of sullen breath and had nowhere to sprinkle it, so it happened to be sprinkled on the family.

"Master, something is wrong, Changxing Ticket suddenly announced the suspension of cooperation with Yutai Grain Bank." This is all public news, and the housekeeper doesn't think there's anything to hide, so he says it in public.

The partner designated by the Changxing ticket number is Yutai Grain Bank, and now it has suddenly suspended cooperation with Yutai Grain Bank, what does this mean, even if you have more food stamps in your hand, you can't exchange it for food.

"What! Changxing ticket number is not afraid to smash his own signboard if he does this! Qian Dong stood up suddenly, saw that the housekeeper wanted to speak and stopped, and asked sternly: "What else is the news, tell it together." ”

"There are people in the market who are selling food stamps on a large scale, and the price of food stamps is now falling again and again. The butler replied with a shudder.

At first, he did not hesitate to smash the signboard, and suddenly came to such a hand, and the decisiveness and resoluteness of the Changxing ticket number were really unexpected. Qian Donglai was so anxious that he paced back and forth, after all, he was an old fox who had been immersed in the business sea for a long time, and he quickly calmed down.

Qian Donglai decided that this move was a good show directed and performed by the Changxing ticket number, in order to force people to hand over the grain stamps they held, the purpose of which was to ensure that the grain of Yutai Grain Store did not fall into the hands of others, in the final analysis, it was to allow the people in the county to eat cheap food, and it was also to cooperate with the government to maintain order and prevent the food crisis from getting worse.

Although the Changxing ticket number is a self-smashing signboard, it is deeply in line with the general righteousness, and the government has no reason not to support it. Qian Donglai, the behind-the-scenes controller of the Changxing ticket number, of course knew that it was his enemy. Qian Donglai originally wanted to use silver to pay the merchants' liquidated damages, and then exchange the grain stamps for the already small grain of Yutai Grain Bank, and finally bribed the county officials with a lot of money.

With life-saving food in his hand and enough favors, although there is a lack of strong evidence in the case of his son's injury and disability, as long as he has something in his hand that is valued by the adjudicator, the trial of the case will definitely be inclined to his side in the end. I never expected the Changxing ticket number to react so quickly, and it disrupted his overall plan as soon as he made a move.

"Just a pause in cooperation? How long is the pause? Qian Donglai grasped the most critical two words, the Changxing ticket number did not have the courage to announce the invalidation of food stamps, and the reason why it wantonly suppressed the price of food stamps was just to prepare for the recovery of food stamps.

"It's just suspended, as for how long it will be suspended, according to the small point of view, most of the transactions will not be restarted until the summer grain is on the market." Listening to the housekeeper's words, Qian Donglai was like a deflated ball in an instant.

The exchange business was restarted only after the summer grain was listed, which meant that they either held the coupon and waited for the rise, exchanging time for space; Either transfer it at a low price, buy high and sell low, and then you must not lose money. The wishful thinking has completely failed, and now he is facing major losses, under this double blow, Qian Donglai has nothing to do, let alone avenge his son.

Qian Dong glanced at the 'merchants' waiting in the hall, and only hated that he didn't hand over the hot food stamps in time just now, but now it's good, even if he is willing, they may not necessarily accept it.

Holding on to the last trace of luck, Qian Donglai looked at the people present with pleading eyes, and sighed bitterly: "According to your request, I am willing to hand over all the food stamps in my hand to you, and pay you another five hundred taels of silver as compensation." ”

No matter how the price of grain stamps falls, it will not affect the amount of grain that can be exchanged, and the worst thing is that the business of exchanging grain with coupons has suddenly been suspended, and as for how long it will be suspended, it depends on how long the Changxing ticket number can withstand external pressure.

Accidents happened, and everyone was caught off guard.

"Master Qian, please wait a moment, we need to think about it." The young man at the head glanced at the others, and immediately turned around and walked out of the lobby. They don't dare to make up their minds about this matter easily, and they need to ask for advice.

It seemed that it had been a long time before Qian Donglai saw the three young men return to the hall.

"What are you thinking about?" Qian Donglai asked eagerly.

The young man at the head sighed: "We are willing to gamble on this, but please ask Master Qian to increase the compensation by another five hundred taels, if Master Qian does not agree, please prepare enough food." ”

"The deadline is approaching, and there is not much time left for Master Qian, please make a decision as soon as possible." Another young man continued to put pressure on Mr. Qian.

"Old man...... It's up to you. Qian Donglai was powerless.

After the deal was concluded, Qian Donglai expressed the doubts that had been pressed in his heart for a long time, and asked: "You dare to take this risk, but what unknown news did you get?" ”

The crowd exchanged glances.

"This is a trade secret and has nothing to say."

"Farewell!"

…………

After everyone left, Qian Donglai collapsed weakly in his seat.

After a short rest, Qian Donglai reluctantly got up and instructed the butler: "Load the silver into the car and follow me." ”

More than 20 horse-drawn carriages drove through the streets and alleys and went straight to the county office.

After inquiry, it was learned that Zhang Hongcheng was not in the county office.

Qian Donglai had no choice but to pull the silver and go straight to Zhang Hongcheng's official residence.

Changxing ticket number, private room on the second floor.

Zhu Chengjun stood on the balcony and looked out from afar by the railing.

Now is the spring season, and it is full of spring at a glance.

At present, Zhu Chengjun is excited.

"Boom...... Boom......"

Hearing someone walking up the stairs, Zhu Chengjun hurriedly turned around and entered.

"The owner...... It's become ......" Shen Ze was so excited that he spoke incoherently.

Shen Ze said it, there must be good news, and Zhu Chengjun's hanging heart was put down.

"Qian Donglai was fooled so easily?" With Qian Donglai's shrewdness, he couldn't fool him with Shen Ze's little tricks, and when Shen Ze did this, Zhu Chengjun also had the mentality of letting him boldly give it a try.

"In this regard, my subordinates have also sweated for a long time." Shen Ze knew that it was a fluke that he could win this time. Luck is luck, winning is winning, Shen Ze continued: "This time, we not only took back all the food stamps, but also let the old boy from Qian Donglai have a basin of blood......" Shen Ze reported his exploits with a fluttering eyebrow.

Zhu Chengjun turned around and returned to the balcony, and the scenery he saw was in a good mood. Through this operation, almost all the food stamps in circulation have been recovered, and there is no need to worry about anyone making waves with food stamps.

After a short period of joy, Zhu Chengjun, who is accustomed to being prepared for danger in times of peace, seems to taste a wisp of blood.

"The proprietor is worried that Qian Donglai, who walks into a poor alley, will jump off the wall in a hurry." Shen Ze noticed that the owner's face was different.

"It's not just a dog jumping off the wall." With this series of actions, Zhu Chengjun thought that he had the intention of driving the dog into the poor alley.

Driving a dog into a poor alley will be counterattacked, not to mention Qian Donglai, who has suffered a series of blows.
