In the past, among these grain merchants, only Changsun Chong followed his lead.
But the facts proved that Chang Sun Chong could not lead everyone to fight against the Huxian Grain Distribution Center and expand it, but failed again and again.
Now, these grain merchants no longer trust Changsun Chong.
When Du He came to Zuixianju at this time, it was obvious that he came just for the food.
Upon seeing this, Changsun Chong nodded with a gloomy face.
Not long after, Du He entered the room.
Looking at the dejected looks of everyone, Du He asked funnyly: "Everyone, it's cloudy today and it's rare that it hasn't rained. You don't seem very happy?"
It's okay not to mention the cloudy day, but when it comes to the cloudy day, everyone almost vomits blood.
Changsun Chong said coldly: "Du He, are you here to see a joke?"
Du He smiled and said, "No, no, no, I'm here to help you. Everyone, I'm here to buy food sincerely."
"you……"
Changsun Chong was about to speak when he saw the grain merchants around him rushing to Du He's side, saying with earnestness on their faces: "Mr. Hu Guo, we have known for a long time that you understand justice well and will not ignore death.
I am willing to sell you all the food at a low price."
"And I……"
"I am willing too. Mr. Hu Guo, what price do you think you can offer?"
A group of grain merchants were all cold-blooded when they met Du He before, but now they are extremely enthusiastic.
Changsun Chong was so angry that he wanted to hit someone.
Du He sat down, looked at everyone with a smile, and said: "Everyone, I won't beat around the bush. Now, I know better than you what the situation of your food is, and today, I'm afraid it won't be clear for a while.
Qing, in a few days, the grain in your granary will only become moldy and rotten, and will be worthless... Now, I am willing to purchase your grain at 20% of the grain price at the Huxian Grain Distribution Center. How much will it cost?
How many!"
Two percent?
Everyone's eyes widened at once.
Crazy!
Most of the grain we bought at the beginning was not bought from the Huxian Grain Distribution Center, but purchased at high prices from the grain market.
Now, Duhe only offers 20% of the wholesale price.
This is simply a money grab!
"impossible!"
"The price is only 20%. Even if we throw away all the food, we still won't sell it to you."
"Mr. Hu Guo, why don't you go grab the money?"
A few excited guys said indignantly.
Du He was very calm, smiled, and said: "Okay, then you will rot... However, I think you are pitiful, and there is another way for you to choose. I am willing to pay 50% of the wholesale price.
Buy your food."
Fifty percent?
Everyone was stunned for a moment, then nodded at the same time.
Everyone knows that the food in the granary has already begun to rot. With the current weather, if it doesn't clear up, it will all rot in the end.
That way, it's really worthless.
Now, Du He is willing to pay 50% of the wholesale price, which is already the limit.
There is no possibility of a higher price.
Even Changsun Chong's eyes widened.
Would Du He be so kind?
He thought to himself: It would be better to sell him all the food of Changsun's family.
He was about to speak.
But I heard Du He say: "Everyone, I have a condition!"
condition?
A grain merchant said enthusiastically: "Please make it clear to Duke Hu!"
Everyone also looked at Du He expectantly.
Du He paused and said: "I am willing to buy the food in your hands at 50% of the wholesale price, including the rotten food... However, I am not a kind person, and I cannot help you for no reason. We need to sign
A contract stipulates that you are not allowed to operate the grain business within one year. Of course, you can also choose to sell it to me at 20% of the wholesale price without signing this contract."
boom.
Changsun Chong was furious: "Du He, you are trying to kill them all!"
He turned back and said: "Everyone, you must not believe Du He. Once you sign the contract, you will not be allowed to operate the grain business within one year. Who can tell clearly what will happen after one year? By then, if you want to operate the grain business again,
I’m afraid there’s no chance anymore, Du He is trying to kill everyone, so don’t be fooled!”
However, before he finished speaking, a grain merchant who had been following him wholeheartedly stood up and said, "Mr. Hu Guo, I am willing to sign the contract."
"I do too!"
"And I!"
More than a dozen grain merchants stood up one after another.
Changsun Chong's face was filled with disbelief.
"You...you...aren't you afraid of losses? You are not allowed to operate the grain business for a year. Why are you so stupid?"
A grain merchant smiled bitterly and said: "Master Changsun, in order to purchase grain this time, I have sold all my family property. Even if Duke Hu is willing to buy my grain at half the wholesale price, I will no longer be able to run the grain business."
.”
"I still owe a lot of debt, and now I urgently need money to pay off the debt. As for the grain business, it's okay not to do it!"
"I never want to get involved in the grain business again in my life."
One by one, the grain merchants said dejectedly.
Changsun Chong was immediately dumbfounded.
Du He didn't think it was strange, he waved his hand.
Wang Laowu immediately stood up, took out contracts one by one, and handed them over to the grain merchants.
Everyone happily signed the contract.
Of course, there were also four or five grain merchants who decided to go all the way and follow Chang Sun Chong and resolutely refused to sell grain.
…
Carloads of moldy and rotting grain were transported out of Chang'an City.
They were transported along Anhu Avenue to Huxian County, and finally entered the Huxian Pig Farm.
Wei Shuwan was as happy as a fool. He smiled and said to the people around him: "My teacher really takes good care of me. You see, these hundreds of thousands of kilograms of grain were all bought cheaply, and they are also high-quality grain... In others
In the eyes, these grains are all waste, but to pig farms, these are treasures."
Except for the pig farms in Hu County, no one in Chang'an would need so much food.
In the past, the grain consumed by pig farms in Huxian County was bought at market prices.
Now, it was bought at a very low price, and Wei Shuwan was certainly happy.
…
Half a month later.
It is bright.
Changsun Chong immediately came to the granary of Changsun's family.
He asked the storekeeper in charge of the granary: "How about it? Is it still too late to start drying the grain now?"
The old man shook his head, his face turned ashen: "Sir, all the food is spoiled..."
"Then... Do you still want Du He? Isn't the Huxian pig farm in urgent need of food?"
The old man said: "To tell you the truth, Master, I have already gone to the Huxian pig farm to meet Young Master Wei San. Young Master Wei said that our food has completely spoiled, and even if it is given to him, he will not take it."
"..."
Changsun Chong returned to Sikong Mansion gloomily.
With an anxious mood, I entered the study.
Changsun Wuji asked: "By the way, Chong'er, how has the grain business been doing recently? Hasn't it been affected by the heavy rain?"
Changsun Chong suddenly fell to his knees on the ground and burst into tears: "Dad, my child is completely defeated..."
He briefly described what happened before and after.
Changsun Wuji's eyes widened: "You mean, in order to deal with the Huxian Grain Distribution Center this time, my Changsun family lost hundreds of thousands of coins?"
