Bai Hongchang frowned as he looked at the crowded scene outside.
The price of sorghum is getting higher and higher, and now it is higher than the highest price in history.
If it continues to rise, it will definitely be a loss.
Even if the sorghum produced in Gyeongju City is of good quality and has a high yield, it cannot withstand the high cost.
As costs increase, profits will decrease.
The gain outweighs the loss.
With the current price of sorghum, after brewing wine, apart from the cost, the profit is very thin.
"Butler Bai!"
Zhao Dafu came in from the door and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead:
"Butler Bai, do you want to go out and take a look?
too many people.
Now everyone is coming from all directions and want to sell sorghum to us."
Bai Hongchang glanced outside with a bitter look on his face:
"No matter how many people come, we have to accept them."
This is the news from the master's house, and I have to listen to it.
"Zhao Dafu, keep an eye on the Lin family. If they make any moves, you must tell me. Do you understand?"
Now, what I fear most is that the Lin family will raise the price again.
If they raise the price again, will he follow suit or not?
Bai Hongchang was so anxious that he was furious and walked around the house anxiously.
He didn't understand why the master's family gave such an order.
They robbed the entire Gyeongju City of sorghum, which had no impact on the Lin family at all.
He couldn't figure it out at all.
After all, the Lin family does not necessarily want to make sorghum wine.
By doing this, they are clearly doing themselves a disservice.
Bai Hongchang sat down on a stool nearby, picked up the tea cup and was about to drink tea, when suddenly a loud shout came from outside:
"Quick, quick, don't sell it, the Lin family has raised the price.
The Lin family has raised the price by five cents per pound, go to the Lin family quickly!"
boom!
The tea cup in Bai Hongchang's hand fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
The color on his face suddenly faded, in other words, he looked pale.
His body was shaking uncontrollably.
Are the Lin family crazy?
The price was suddenly raised by five cents, and this...this sorghum was sold at a sky-high price!
After regaining consciousness, Bai Hongchang stumbled towards the door with a pale face.
Before reaching the gate, Zhao Dafu rushed in:
"Butler Bai, it's over. The Lin family has raised the price again."
Bai Hongchang didn't say anything. He pushed him away with a pale face and stumbled towards Lin Ji next door.
At this time, Gu Liu was standing in front of the crowd, talking nonsense.
They all lamented that it was not easy for the people to farm the land and it was too difficult to harvest this small amount of food, so Lin Jiuniang wanted to increase prices for everyone so that everyone could make some money.
And his words made people who came to sell grain start talking about it.
"Ms. Lin is benevolent and righteous. She is a good person. She brought the sorghum seeds. She gave us the seeds and now she teaches us how to plant them. She is a good person."
"Yes, the price has been raised now. You are really kind. If you buy these sorghums, you won't have to worry about eating and drinking in the second half of the year."
"What a good man."
…
In the midst of the loud singing and cheering, a discordant voice suddenly broke in:
"What's the use of being a good person?
If Bai Kee next door raises the price again, will you sell to Lin Kee or Bai Kee?
A pound is worth a penny, and a hundred pounds is worth a hundred penny more. Who are you selling it to?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone became quiet.
Yes, to whom?
for a long time!
Suddenly someone shouted:
"Of course, it will be sold to the one who pays the highest price. No one will have trouble with the money. I believe Mrs. Lin can understand this matter, right?"
"Yes, Mrs. Lin can certainly understand. After all, it is not easy for us people to make some money."
"Now, let's see if Bai Ji will continue to bid."
"Yes, where is Bai Ji? Do you want Bai Ji to continue bidding?"
…
After being called out like this, everyone's eyes fell on Bai Hongchang.
Upon seeing Bai Hongchang, everyone started asking questions.
Bai Hongchang's face turned pale and he felt miserable.
If he agrees to raise the price, it will be six cents higher than the previous price.
After brewing wine, you will definitely lose money, and it will be a blood loss.
If it was one or two cents, he gritted his teeth and said it. Anyway, the opinion of the master's family was to seize all the sorghum and not let the Lin family get a single sorghum.
but now……
Bai Hongchang has a theory of suffering.
And the most terrifying thing is that he continues to bid. If Lin Jiuniang continues to bid, should he continue to raise the price?
…
Seeing Bai Hongchang, Gu Liu's eyes flashed with light, and Bai Hongchang hesitated.
According to Mrs. Lin, there is a time difference in communication between the Bai family, so Bai Hongchang will definitely hesitate if he is raised so high all of a sudden.
But don't be afraid, because Bai Hongchang will definitely agree to the order given by the Bai family.
They took advantage of this difference to force the Bai family into the trap and make a fortune.
Now it depends on when Bai Hongchang jumps into this pit.
Cleared his throat.
Gu Liu looked at Bai Hongchang with a playful expression and raised his eyebrows:
"Butler Bai, don't you dare to follow me?
You are from the Yunqi Kingdom. Can you afford to compete with Mrs. Jia Lin for money on the land of my great cause?
Stop embarrassing yourself here."
Bai Hongchang blushed.
Lin Jiuniang is the richest woman in the world, who dares to compete with her?
Gu Liu continued to tease:
"Butler Bai, do you dare to continue bidding? Everyone is waiting for your reply?"
"If you don't say anything, I, Lin Ji, will harvest all these sorghums."
Bai Hongchang opened his mouth, but in the end he said nothing.
When Gu Liu saw this, he felt a little anxious in his heart.
After all, money doesn't come from strong winds, so he felt bad for spending so much money all of a sudden.
But thinking of Lin Jiuniang's words, she quickly calmed down again.
He still kept a smile on his face and pretended to be arrogant:
"Haha, I said that in front of me, Lin Ji, no company dares to compete with us."
The more Gu Liu smiled, the more excited he became, almost dancing:
"Steward Bai, if you dare to bid again, I, Lin Ji, will give up purchasing sorghum today. Do you dare?"
You don’t have the guts, haha!”
…
Seeing Gu Liu's arrogant and proud look, Lin Li despised him.
"He's really good at acting.
He is indeed a profiteer."
Looking at Gu Liu's proud face, she wanted to slap him away.
Lin Jiuniang looked at everything not far away with a smile. Gu Liu was a talent.
I really did the right thing by taking him with me.
This kid is slipping away more and more now.
After taking a look at Lin Li's disgusted look, Lin Jiuniang reached out and pinched her face:
"You don't distinguish between ourselves and our enemies!"
Lin Li slapped her hand down and said, "I'm telling the truth.
Moreover, this strategy is too crude, so the other party may not be fooled."
What did the other party say? He is also a veteran, how could he be fooled like this?
Humph, I will never be fooled.
Lin Jiuniang's eyes flashed, "How about making a bet?"
Come again!
Lin Li moved to the side, disgusted:
"You want to trick me again? No fun!"
"Aren't you optimistic that the other party won't be fooled? Can't you just choose this one?" Lin Jiuniang raised her eyebrows:
"Lin Li, don't you dare?"
"I just don't dare, what's wrong?" Lin Li said confidently:
"I'm just a fool betting with you. Haven't you deceived me enough?"
No matter which one you choose, you will be the loser in the end, so you don’t want to bet with her.
"That's such a shame!"
Lin Jiuniang shrugged and looked at Bai Hongchang not far away again, with a cold light flashing in her eyes.
Bai Hongchang will jump into the pit without hesitation.
