Chapter 888 The fish takes the bait
If she went directly to various villages to collect sorghum, she would definitely receive sorghum.
So what they spent so much money to do, wouldn't it be like trying to get nothing out of a bamboo basket?
Thinking of this, Bai Hongchang couldn't sit still.
After handing the banknote to Zhao Dafu and asking him to pay for Dai Dafei and others, he hurriedly walked into the house.
Seeing Bai Hongchang's back hurriedly leaving, Lin Jiuniang and Gu Liu looked at each other, and both had unexplained smiles on their lips.
Afterwards, Gu Liu also left.
hehe!
The bait is hooked!
Lin Jiuniang was very satisfied.
Next, the whole Gyeongju was in chaos.
Lin Ji and Baek Ji started competing throughout Gyeongju.
Wherever Lin Ji appears, there must be Bai Ji.
The purchase price of Baiji must be one cent higher than that of Linji.
This commotion lasted for two days, and the result was that some people were happy and some were sad.
Bai Hongchang looked at the money spent and his hair turned gray with worry.
Lin Jiuniang, on the other hand, was fiddling with her abacus excitedly and kept murmuring:
Sent, Sent!
With this speed of making money, haha, in less than ten days, the Bai family can be reduced to an empty shell.
such a pity!
She can't keep using this to make money, otherwise, all the money in the world will fall into her hands.
Lin Jiuniang felt a little sorry.
but……
Lin Jiuniang's eyes flashed with light, and she immediately got up and walked outside.
At the end of the day, I naturally wanted to trick Bai Ji again and teach them a lesson.
I left the study and headed straight outside.
At this time, Bai Hongchang walked toward his rented yard with a tired look on his face.
Zhao Dafu followed him and kept talking about some random things.
Bai Hongchang interrupted him impatiently:
"Don't bother me with this little thing."
Don't you see that he has been crazy busy these past two days?
Zhao Dafu shut his mouth and did not dare to talk nonsense anymore.
But thinking about other things, he still said cautiously:
"Butler Bai, um, the people from the master's house are here, you..."
"What?"
Bai Hongchang interrupted him with an angry look on his face:
"People are here, why didn't you tell me earlier."
After saying that, she glared at him and immediately rushed into the house.
Zhao Dafu looked depressed. Is this his fault?
Obviously he didn't let himself say it.
When Bai Hongchang rushed into the living room, his steps subconsciously slowed down.
Salute to the two people sitting in the living room drinking tea:
"I've met Mr. Bai."
"I wonder who this is?"
Bai Hongchang looked at another old man with a serious face, with respect in his eyes.
Bai Shao, who was called Mr. Bai by Bai Hongchang, slowly said:
"This is the steward of the Duke of Qi's mansion, Steward Shi Mingjie."
Bai Hongchang looked solemn and saluted the other party again:
"I've met Butler Shi."
Shi Mingjie waved his hand, "Okay, this is great business.
There is no need to follow me in vain, the purpose of our cooperation is also very clear, we each get what we need.
You want things, I want people."
Bai Hongchang nodded and then stood aside respectfully.
Bai Shao looked at Bai Hongchang and asked directly about the matter.
Bai Hongchang did not dare to hide anything and told everything one by one.
The last look of worry:
"Mr. Bai, in order to compete with Lin Ji for sorghum, I drained all our working capital in Daye.
I am afraid that there will be a shortage of funds in the future, which will lead to the collapse of our operation in Daye for so many years.
And the most important thing now is that the price of sorghum is very high.
We have obviously purchased a lot, but people are still bringing out sorghum.
This is too outrageous.”
If it weren't for his master's request, he would have given up.
Now, he has only two words to describe this matter: crazy.
Really crazy.
Bai Shao shook his head, "Well done, as long as Lin Ji is not allowed to get any sorghum, we will win.
And whatever we lose, we will get it back from her in the end."
Speaking of this, Bai Shao had a sneer on his lips:
“Is there still sorghum in Gyeongju now?
Except for ourselves, of course."
Bai Hongchang thought for a moment, his eyes filled with uncertainty:
"uncertain.
In the past two days, we have purchased them village by village, so they should be gone.
But Lin Jiuniang is so difficult to figure out, and there is no absolute certainty about this matter."
Hearing this, Bai Shao nodded with satisfaction:
"Hongchang, you are making progress now, very good.
By the way, how about I ask you to pay attention to the guy named Gu Liu?"
"Young and frivolous, full of arrogance, it is easy to be angered." Bai Hongchang thought for a moment:
"Due to the failure to acquire sorghum, he was scolded by Lin Jiuniang a lot during this period.
Several times, I saw a hint of dissatisfaction with Lin Jiuniang hidden in his words.
If you want to start with him, you can consider it.
But I'm afraid he won't be bribed so easily. After all, he followed Lin Jiuniang from Anle Village.
I'm also afraid that they are acting on purpose."
Bai Shao chuckled and looked at his hands casually:
"Everyone I want to bribe has never failed."
Shi Mingjie shook his head, "You'd better not be careless.
It is no accident that that woman has come this far. Moreover, that woman is famous for her cunning.
The people around her are by no means simple, so be careful to be deceived.
Before I came, the prince said that I must not despise this woman."
Bai Shao shook his head, "I'm not that stupid."
He looked up at Bai Hongchang, "Do you know where he usually appears?"
"At this time, teahouse," Bai Hongchang raised his head:
"Gu Liu is used to going to the teahouse to drink tea at this time every day."
Bai Shao stood up, "Haha, it seems I have to drink tea somewhere else."
In the evening, when Lin Jiuniang came back, Gu Liu had already appeared in the study.
"Ms. Lin, they really went to the teahouse to look for me.
But when they arrived, I left through the back door of the teahouse." Gu Liu had a smile on his face.
Lin Jiuniang nodded, "Well, they will continue to look for you.
Remember, try to whet their appetite and wait for the right opportunity before agreeing."
right opportunity?
Gu Liu frowned, "Then when is the right opportunity?"
Lin Jiuniang smiled, "When the benefits are maximized."
After saying this, Lin Jiuniang changed the subject.
Then he talked about what happened during the sorghum purchase in the past two days.
Gu Liu felt some sympathy for the Bai family.
"Ms. Lin, the Bai family has been deceived by you.
Tell me, when will they react?"
Lin Jiuniang smiled, "It depends on you.
You can use this to gain their trust in the future.
But Bai Shao of the Bai family is no ordinary person. This is his information. Take a look.
I'm afraid he would have noticed something was wrong without us saying anything."
After saying that, he took out a brochure from the side and handed it to him:
"In Yunqi State, all businessmen are afraid of dealing with him.
This person is very resourceful and cruel, so you should be careful when dealing with him.
This person is definitely not as easy to fool as Bai Hongchang. And..."
"Shi Mingjie," Lin Jiuniang took out a booklet again:
"This is his information. Shi Potian's butler helps him manage various businesses. He is not easy to deal with even an old fox.
You must be careful when dealing with these two."
Gu Liu put the book away and said, "I know."
Lin Jiuniang hesitated, "Gu Liu, how about..."
"You want to persuade me to give up?" Gu Liu shook his head, "Don't worry, I'll be fine.
Besides, I've been with you for so long, and I'm no longer the same Gu Liu I was in Anle Village."
After Gu Liu left, Lin Jiuniang still couldn't let go.
The most important thing is that the people sent by Shi Potian and others are not simple.
They were all old foxes, and he was afraid that Gu Liu would be exposed and end up harming himself.
Thinking of this, Lin Jiuniang stood up and walked outside:
"Lin Dong!"
