Chapter 48 Rumors in the city, Wuming selling grain
"Who?" Xi Ming was slightly stunned.
The boy shook his head, "This man didn't explain anything. He only said that he had a big fortune and wanted to give it to the shopkeeper!"
Xi Ming frowned and said to the boy, "Go and lure him here!"
After the boy left, Xi Ming said to the others: "How about you guys wait behind the screen?"
Naturally, the few people followed suit, stood up, and entered behind the screen on the side. After a while, the servant led a thin but extremely tall man in.
"Is this shopkeeper Xi?" The man crossed his fists and sat down directly opposite Xi Ming without being polite.
Xi Ming looked the man up and down, and then responded calmly, "Yes, this is Xi Ming. I don't know who the distinguished guest is and where he came from! What did you mean by that sentence just now! I'm afraid, the distinguished guest is You're not here to entertain someone, are you?"
The man grinned and said, "Wu Ming, I am destined to be with Shopkeeper Xi. As for entertainment? How dare you entertain Shopkeeper Xi!"
Xi Ming took a sip of tea and continued to ask: "So, I wonder where Brother Wu's so-called great wealth comes from!"
"Shopkeeper Xi is the number one grain merchant in Shanyin. This great wealth naturally comes from grain?" the man Wu Ming said with a smile.
"Oh?" Xi Ming's eyes flashed, "Then I wonder if Brother Wu is buying or selling food?"
"Of course we are selling grain. If we are buying grain, I'm afraid Shopkeeper Xi won't have any grain to sell!" Wu Ming said directly.
Xi Ming sipped the fragrant tea in his hand, but his brows were furrowed into a line! The Wu Ming in front of him came by chance, and he even knew that he had no food in his hand! So, who is this Wu Ming? Could there be other reasons behind this?
Moreover, he and others could no longer transport food through channels. What kind of extraordinary ability did Wu Ming have to get food and transport it to Shanyin?
Even if it were true, then if he went to cooperate with Baijinlou, he would probably get more profit than if he cooperated with himself. However, he did not go outside the city. Instead, he went to the city with all his efforts and came to him. ?
Although Xi Ming is greedy, he is also shrewd. Otherwise, even with the support of his cousin Xi Yan, it will definitely not be easy to earn such a huge net worth. Therefore, although he is currently rich, he is not in a hurry Before he spoke, he thought about it first.
After a long while, Xi Ming put down the tea cup in his hand and said calmly: "Brother Wu, since you can come to my Shanyin County, I'm afraid the situation inside and outside the city should be clear. Well, I have a few questions. I hope Wu Brother informed me."
"First, if Brother Wu wants to sell grain, I naturally welcome it. Then, I don't know how much grain Brother Wu will sell. Second, what is the price of grain? As for the third, Baijinlou needs grain more than I do. Mi, why didn't Brother Wu go directly to Baijin Tower instead of coming to my place?"
Wu Ming grinned, "Shopkeeper Xi's biggest question is probably the third one!"
"So, I wonder if Shopkeeper Xi knows the Jiangnan Sheng family?"
Xi Ming was stunned when he heard this. Of course he knew about the Sheng family. The Sheng family was also a wealthy family in the south of the Yangtze River, even compared to the Shao family. It was said that 30% of the Jiangnan silk was controlled by the Sheng family. This shows that This rich family's wealth.
"Brother Wu is from the Sheng family?" Xi Ming asked carefully, with a hint of respect in his tone.
