Chapter 5 Buying Grain(1/2)

Li Er and Fang Xuanling came to Li's Tavern again and saw Uncle Fu selling wine, so they walked up.

After Fang Xuanling took Uncle Fu to pick up the last customer, he said, "Uncle Fu, why are you the only one busy with things in the tavern? Where is Li Feng?"

"The young master has gone out to buy food. If my benefactor comes looking for him, I will go and find him," Uncle Fu replied.

Fang Xuanling said in surprise: "Why are you still buying food? Doesn't he know it rained last night?"

Uncle Fu nodded and said, "Yes, the young master said that just because of this rain, there will be no rain in the next six months, and the temperature will get hotter and hotter, and the crops in the fields will soon be burned to death."

Li Er and Fang Xuanling were both shocked and looked suspicious. Is it true?

"Does Li Feng know the seriousness of the matter?" Fang Xuanling couldn't help but blurt out.

Uncle Fu was stunned for a moment and said: "My dear friend, what do you mean? Could it be that if the young master goes to buy food, the consequences will be serious?"

"It's okay to buy grain. No matter how much grain you buy, it doesn't matter. But when there's a drought and the crops are burned to death, it's very serious."

Fang Xuanling paused, then stood up and said: "Old Li, I need to ask Li Feng about this matter."

Li Er nodded: "Uncle Fu, let's go find Li Feng. If he comes back, tell him not to run around. We can't find him and will come back to find him."

"Okay, I will tell the young master that he should be at the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce now."

"Let's go to Chang'an Chamber of Commerce."



Li Feng had just arrived at the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce. He inquired about the grain stores along the street on the way and found that the price of grain had dropped to its original price, which was four cents per bucket.

He found that his 20,000 gu could buy 400,000 shi of grain, which made him very happy.

When Li Feng entered the Chamber of Commerce, a steward came up to ask.

"This young master is very handsome. Is he not a native of Chang'an?"

Li Feng shook his head and said: "No,"

"no?"

Li Feng took the lead again and said: "That's not true. I am an out-and-out Chang'an native. I met you because it was the first time I went out. To be precise, it was the first time my parents let me go out and let me do business alone.

Therefore, it is a very honest thing for you to meet me."

The originally contemptuous look in the steward's eyes suddenly turned serious. It was the first time he was let out by an elder to do business. He must be a descendant of the aristocratic family.

He said respectfully: "I wonder what your surname is, young master?"

"Surname Li."

"Longxi Li family?"

Li Feng smiled, neither admitting nor denying it, and said: "I buy food, the more the better. This is a deposit. But I need to talk to your president."

The steward glanced at the package handed over by Li Feng but did not accept it. He sneered and said: "Master Li, do you know who is behind the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce?"

"have no idea."

"Taiyuan Wang Family."

Li Feng asked in confusion: "The Taiyuan Wang family with seven sects and five surnames? What about me? Does it have anything to do with me?"

"It seems that Master Li is really ignorant of the world. He doesn't even know the grudges between the Wang family in Taiyuan and your Li family in Longxi?"

"What's the matter? Just because the two families have a grudge, your Chang'an Chamber of Commerce doesn't plan to do my business? If you don't do it, then just open your mouth. If you do, call your president out. I have a big deal.

.

No, the president didn't care enough about the feud between the two families, so he called me from the Wang family in Taiyuan and asked him if he would do my business."

Li Feng's voice was so loud that everyone present could hear it clearly.

Even Li Er and Fang Xuanling, who had just arrived, heard it.

"What's going on? Isn't Li Feng here to buy food? Why is it so tense?" Fang Xuanling frowned.

Li Er said angrily: "You ask me, who should I ask?"

It seems that we arrived together. Have you been too tired recently and your memory has deteriorated?

No, you have to find someone to lighten the burden for you.

Fang Xuanling didn't know yet that Li Er was planning to lighten his workload. At this time, he kept looking at Li Feng.

Li Er is the same.

They wanted to see what kind of medicine Li Feng was selling in his gourd. As for the drought, it had become an irrelevant matter.

Everyone in the Chamber of Commerce lobby also focused on Li Feng.

I saw Li Feng continue to say: "The feud between the Li family in Longxi and the Wang family in Taiyuan is a matter between the two families. It should be handled by the family. I don't care.

Today I am here to buy grain, and I want to buy all the grain from the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce. Now I ask you, will you sell it or not?"

The steward's face turned livid because Li Feng made the matter a big deal.

He said in a deep voice: "Master Li, it's over."

"Go away, you are not qualified to talk to me. Call someone who can talk to me, and I will give you a stick of incense. If you don't come after that, I will think that the Wang family of Taiyuan is afraid of the Li family of Longxi."

Li Feng kicked the manager. Since the other party gave him such a great status, it would be a shame for them not to take advantage of it.

The guards of the Chamber of Commerce wanted to teach Li Feng a lesson, but were stopped by the steward.

Although the steward was angry, he was not so angry that he lost his mind. Li Feng was from the Li family in Longxi, and he dared to come to the chamber of commerce alone to do business. There must be someone behind him to support him.

Even if I beat him to death, I would not believe that Li Feng was a person with no background. Li Feng was too crazy.

"Come over to find the president." The steward said softly to the guard beside him.

Within a few minutes, a middle-aged man with a big belly walked up to the steward and glanced at Li Feng on the way.

Li Feng also looked at the other party curiously and thought to himself: "All feudal landlords and rich men have such virtues. No wonder the landlords and old rich men on TV are all played by fat people. They are so vivid."

The steward can salute and say: "I have met the president."

The president nodded in response, and then asked: "What happened?"

The steward immediately explained in a low voice what had just happened.

Upon hearing this, the president looked at Li Feng with interest and said, "Little brother, you are quite courageous. You dare to pretend to be a member of the Li family in Longxi."

"This kid actually pretended to be a member of the Li family in Longxi. Isn't he afraid that the Li family in Longxi will cause trouble for him?" Fang Xuanling said worriedly.

Li Er frowned and said: "Look, if Li Feng is in danger, we will go up to help immediately."

"good."

Fang Xuanling nodded.

Li Feng smiled. He knew that his identity would be revealed, but he didn't expect it to be so soon. As expected of someone who belongs to aristocratic families, he is familiar with other aristocratic families.

Even if his identity was revealed, Li Feng did not flinch and announced.

"You don't have to worry about my identity, and you can't control it. I'm here to do business today. Let me tell you whether the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce will do it or not."

"Yes, if I don't do business, why would I open this chamber of commerce?"

Li Feng nodded and said: "Okay, in that case, I want to buy food. Two thousand gold leaves are considered a deposit. How much food can I buy?"

He spread out the golden leaves, and the golden leaves caught everyone's eyes. Some showed greed, some showed envy, and most of them showed disdain.

There is no one here who doesn't know a man of great wealth.

The president did not pick up the gold leaves, but said calmly: "Twenty stacks of gold leaves, a total of 2,000 pieces, worth 20,000 guan. In the past, I could buy 400,000 guan. Now, do you want 250,000 guan?"

"hiss."

Everyone couldn't help but take a breath, this killing was too powerful.

Li Feng frowned and said: "Now that the price of grain has stabilized, at four or five cents per dou, can the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce still sell it for ten cents per dou?"

"People are other people's families, and my family is my family. My family's food is good, but what's wrong with buying it more expensively? Isn't it normal for good goods to be expensive?" said the president.

It seems so reasonable that it makes people unable to refute it.

Li Feng smiled and said: "Two hundred thousand gu will buy you 3.5 million shi of grain. If you are willing to sell it, let's sign the contract now. If you don't want to, I will leave immediately."

What a loud tone, it costs two hundred thousand dollars as soon as it comes out.

"Okay, I'll sell it to you. Three and a half million stones of grain. I can sell it to you now. When will you pay?"

"This is 20,000 yuan, which is considered a deposit. Two months later, the remaining 180,000 yuan will be given in full." Li Feng said.

"You mean, you have no money?"

"Not yet."

"Haha... you still come to buy things if you don't have money, little guy, just stay here for a while." The president laughed, and the steward and others also laughed.

Fang Xuanling said nervously: "What is this kid thinking about?"

Li Er did not answer, but walked over and said: "I still have 180,000 yuan left. What kind of food do you have in place?"

"Old Li, why are you here?" Li Feng was a little surprised.
