Chapter 99 Difficulties
The name Li Ba fell into Liang Shaoping's sight very early.
As the uncrowned king of Xibu, intelligence agencies are indispensable to control this settlement city. On the day Fengcheng Business opened, all the information about Li Ba was placed on Liang Shaoping's desk.
He is timid and afraid of things, lustful and greedy for money, and can stick to the bottom line of human nature, and save a weak woman and depend on each other for life.
This is the first time Liang Shaoping has seen such a person with extreme personality. He has always been curious about Li Ba and ordered his subordinate intelligence agencies to pay attention to it silently.
Until Fengshou Business opened, the unique marketing techniques and the best-selling bean sprouts made the name Li Ba often come into Liang Shaoping's sight.
Later, Fengshou Trading Company cooperated with the research institute. Li Ba showed the talent of a wood-type superpower. Under his leadership, he recruited soldiers and horses. The Trading Company rose strongly in just a few months and became a new force.
Liang Shaoping paid more attention to this. He planned to send someone to invite each other several times to meet each other. However, for some reason, he gave up this idea. Now that the storm in the settlement is about to begin, he immediately reached a consensus with the research institute to hold this banquet to win over a number of merchants in the city, and at the same time he took this opportunity to explore Li Ba's bottom.
When Li Ba walked in, Liang Shaoping found that the young man's appearance and body shape were different from the description in the information. If he remembered correctly, the young man should be a fat man, but now he is completely opposite. The other person is tall and strong, with clear edges and angular features, and a bit handsome.
However, the iconic big bald head made people feel a little out of place.
As soon as Li Ba entered the door, he saw four people inside. Three of them looked unfamiliar, and only one beauty with a long hair was an old acquaintance.
This beauty is naturally Han Xue.
With a glance, Li Ba immediately locked in the second place in his right hand, a middle-aged man in a major uniform. This man looked dark, had a tough look, and a typical military temperament. At the same time, Li Ba noticed a trace of danger on him.
Since he had the Ghost Crying Vine, he has practiced frequently, which has caused Li Ba's mental power to soar. Although he does not have the ability to control things with Yang Jian's mutated mind power, he has extremely keen senses and can feel the dangerous aura from around him.
Now, the four people in the box all had a dangerous aura. However, the middle-aged officer was the strongest, and it was even more intense than the danger that Long Sihai gave him.
Obviously, this person is the uncrowned king and official leader of the western settlement, Major Liang Shaoping.
"Cousin, let me introduce it to you... This is Major Liang, the President of the Management Committee!"
Luo Jianguo followed in and introduced Li Ba one by one. In addition to Liang Shaoping and Han Xue, there were two men left, who were also members of the Management Committee. One was named Wang Feng, who also served as the captain of the evolution brigade. The other was named Kang Dawei, who served as the director of the Materials Department, and Luo Jianguo's immediate boss.
"Good luck! Good luck!"
Li Ba smiled and stepped forward to say hello.
The moment he entered the door, Luo Jianguo's tough face also showed a faint smile.
"Please sit down!"
He didn't say much, and asked Li Ba to sit down. He acted skillfully and had a military style.
The decoration inside the box was very luxurious. A large desk was placed at the window, Liang Shaoping and the other two sat opposite each other, and Luo Jianguo stood by with a smile. Li Ba faced the bright eyes of the four people, and felt like he was being questioned as a prisoner.
After he sat down, he rubbed his nose, turned to Luo Jianguo and said, "Cousin, you should sit too."
"I won't sit anymore, just stand." Luo Jianguo rubbed his hands. In front of these four people, he was the deputy director of the Materials Department and was not qualified to sit down.
"Director Luo, no one is outsider, let's sit down."
After Liang Shaoping's instructions, Luo Jianguo had a seat. However, he pulled the chair and sat in the corner, because he knew in his heart that the protagonist today was his cousin Li Ba.
"Mr. Liang speaks straightforwardly and doesn't go around the corner."
Afterwards, Liang Shaoping slowly spoke and said directly, "I asked Boss Li to come here today, because I want to ask you for help."
Dealing with the soldiers is worry-free and there is no need to waste words. After hearing this, Li Ba nodded and replied: "It's easy to say! If there is anything, as long as I can do it, Major Liang will just give orders!"
Liang Shaoping was still very satisfied with Li Ba's attitude. He pondered for a moment and said slowly: "In the turbulent times, Xibu needs a strong government agency to lead survivors through this disaster. Now, some people want to challenge the rules and orders set by the government... What do Boss Li thinks about this?"
"I'm just a businessman and lack political awareness."
Li Ba smiled: "No matter who is in charge of the country, as long as it does not harm the interests of Fengcheng Commercial Bank, I have no objection."
He said it very clearly, and he meant to clear his unwillingness to get involved in the struggle between the two major forces.
"If Xibu is in chaos, is it possible that you want to keep it alone?"
Liang Shaoping's expression remained unchanged. Han Xue couldn't help but speak sarcasticly.
"You Fengcheng Trading Company has gained a lot of benefits from materials. Now it seems a bit unkind to try to separate the relationship!"
Kang Dawei, the director of the Materials Department, said with a smile. He looked at Luo Jianguo, who was sitting in the corner from the corner. The latter was so nervous that he was seen. He quickly stood up and persuaded Li Ba: "Cousin, our Materials Department has always taken care of you. Now that we have difficulties, you can't let go!"
Luo Jianguo said with a wry smile on his face. His statement was half sincere and half forced to be helpless. He used his power to make profits for Li Ba's business, which is not a big deal from a small perspective. But if he exaggerated himself, he would use his power for personal gain and would be punished.
At the same time, the identity of an official public official gave him no choice but to stand on the official side.
"It's easy to say."
Li Ba threw a 'reassuring' look at his cheap cousin, then turned his eyes to Liang Shaoping, sighed, and said, "Major Liang, you should have something to say!"
Liang Shaoping showed a faint smile on his tough face and said, "It's very simple. We need your business to do our best to boost the liquidity of food coupons!"
“Freeconomic?”
Li Ba pretended not to understand.
"To put it bluntly, your Fengcheng Trading Company took out all the supplies to ensure that the market food coupons are traded normally." Wang Feng added.
This time it was very clear. Li Ba couldn't pretend to be stupid, so he could only face it.
"Three hours ago, Long Sihai went to my place."
Li Ba looked at his watch and said slowly: "To be honest, I know very well about the conflict between this person and your official website. I believe he can't hide his intention to go to me."
"What conditions did Long Sihai have come up with?" Liang Shaoping asked in a deep voice.
"The meeting gift is only five or six hundred first-level crystal nuclei, and ten second-level crystal nuclei. However, after our Lord Long said that there will be great benefits to send you, including fifty second-level crystal nuclei, one thousand tons of grain and food supplies, and all the circulating food coupons I have on hand, all of which will be cashed out by the Sihai Commercial Bank."
Li Ba did not hide anything and told all the benefits that Long Sihai promised. At the same time, he looked at him and saw that the four people on the other side looked ugly. Especially Liang Shaoping, who had a dark face and was as gloomy as water.
"What did you promise him?"
After a while, Liang Shaoping looked at Li Ba and asked slowly.
"Of course not."
Li Ba shook his head, "This is a matter between you. I am just an ordinary businessman and I don't want to participate."
Liang Shaoping's face calmed down significantly after hearing this.
“Working with us official, you will get everything you want.”
He stared at Li Ba and said word by word: "On behalf of the Management Committee, I promise that when this matter is settled, I will give you the best compensation and rewards to the merchant bank."
He didn't say what to reward or what to compensate. For Li Ba, this was like writing a blank check, which had no meaning.
With Li Ba's personality, if you don't see a rabbit or a hawk, you will certainly not suffer this loss.
"Compensation and rewards are irrelevant. I just want to ask Major Liang, if there is a large-scale run in the city, how many days can the official grain bank support?"
"Five days!"
Liang Shaoping answered very simply.
"Your official grain store can only last for five days. I am afraid that I can't hold on for a long time."
Li Ba said directly about his difficulties at this moment, "I have a large group of employees who want to support my family. It is impossible to make up for this meaningless battle to gain a full share of wealth!"
Liang Shaoping seemed to have expected him to say this long ago. He smiled and pointed outside the door and said, "More than half of the businesses in Xibu City are outside. With you and their help, it can reduce the pressure of the grain bank's run. It is absolutely no problem to last ten days and half a month."
"We have made a complete plan and will launch an operation to clear Wujiang Town soon. As long as we take down Wujiang Town, the collected materials will be enough to withstand the impact of the run!" Wang Feng added.
