Chapter 601: The Price of Black Eating Black
"Niang Xipi!"
"It was actually a false alarm. Who was so bold as to make a false alarm? When I find out who it was, I'm going to beat him up!"
"I'm so angry! I originally had a bag of food, but when I took it home, only three or four pounds were left. I wasted so much money and my wife scolded me!"
As soon as everyone got to work, they immediately asked each other what happened last night.
"Okay, stop yelling. You can't find him. I heard that he was taken away by the police yesterday. Who knows where he's in prison now."
"This kid is lucky to end up in jail. I'm going to kill him when he gets out!"
Seeing his friend's indignant look, he said, "I did find out which prison he is in. Why don't you go and commit a crime? Maybe you two can be in the same prison and you can get revenge."
As soon as these words came out, his friend shut up instantly and rolled his eyes at him.
"Hey, why don't you say anything? Don't you want revenge?"
My friend said nothing.
the other side.
"Naughty! Naughty!"
Zhang San and other grain merchants gathered together and cursed the guy who made a false report.
"Damn it! Just for 25 yuan, he actually called the police. I haven't sold hundreds of kilograms of grain yet, and it's all gone. How much money is this!"
"Alright, alright, stop yelling. With interests at stake, we have all forgotten what we did before. Now is a good opportunity for us to be warned."
"Besides, it's only a few hundred kilograms of food. We don't need that much."
"You don't need that much, how about you give it to me?"
"That's a nice thought. If you have the ability, go find that person."
Suddenly, a grain merchant shut up.
Zhang San then said, "From now on, we will each send one person to guard the door. If it is not one of our people who calls, just ignore it."
Everyone nodded.
"We can't just let this false alarm issue go. I think we should stop setting up stalls these few days and let everyone down as a punishment."
"Okay, I think that's fine." Everyone agreed.
"Also, we can't lose our food for nothing. Someone has to pay for it. I think the price will go up by 10 yuan."
"Yes, I totally agree."
"Me too."
Some people agree, while naturally some people are worried.
"Is a 10 yuan increase all at once too much? What if people think it's too expensive and don't buy it?"
"Not buying? Not buying is just fine. We are poor and we won't buy. The grain is in our hands. It's up to us to decide whether to sell it or not. Can they steal it?"
Everyone nodded. How could they protect their own "industry" without using some force?
"Okay, it's settled. Let's take a few days off to avoid the limelight and give them a warning."
After saying that, Zhang San left first.
A number of black market grain traders also returned to their respective homes.
Jia family.
"Dongxu, are you okay?"
Qin Huairu looked at Jia Dongxu with concern. He felt drowsy as soon as he came back and slept until noon.
If you gently touch Jia Dongxu's forehead, you can feel a slight heat.
"Mom, is Dongxu sick? Feel him."
Jia Zhang immediately reached out and touched it, and it was indeed a little hot.
"Oh my god, could Dongxu have a fever? I'll go find a doctor right now."
After saying this, Jia Zhang immediately took the money and went out.
"Mom, you don't need to see a doctor. Let's go to the pharmacy and buy some medicine."
"Okay." Jia Zhang went to the pharmacy to buy medicine.
It costs three or five dollars to ask a doctor to come to my house. My family is not well off, so we have to count every penny carefully.
"Mom! I'm back! Is dinner ready?" Banggeng returned home carefree.
"Why are you making so much noise? Can't you see your father is sleeping?" Qin Huairu immediately lectured.
"You keep making a lot of noise all day long. If you could focus on studying, I wouldn't have to keep urging you to do your homework."
Listening to Qin Huairu's lecture, Banggeng looked dissatisfied.
Qin Huairu was helpless seeing this. Banggeng had been in school for a month and a half, but she didn't know how he was doing in school.
He has to be urged to do his homework, so you can imagine what kind of good grades he can get.
It's just that it's hard to judge before the results come out. "Wait until you take your midterm exam, and then I'll see what your results are."
"Humph, I will definitely get good grades then!" Banggeng replied unconvinced.
"I hope you can keep your word." Qin Huairu was too lazy to argue about it: "Look after your dad, I'll go cook."
Bang Geng looked at the sleepy Jia Dongxu and said, "Aww, I'm so sleepy."
He lay down immediately and fell into a deep sleep.
Qin Huairu saw the situation and didn't bother to say anything more. No one in this family was worry-free.
Stroking the bulging belly, "Son, you have to grow up quickly and become a man of integrity in the future."
After saying that, Qin Huairu smiled softly.
night.
"Why hasn't anyone come yet?"
"Don't worry, wait a little longer. Maybe someone is on the way."
"Do you believe what you said? Normally they would have come a long time ago, but they haven't come yet. Damn it, it's all that bastard's fault. If you don't have money, don't come. Why call the police?"
"That's right, you son of a bitch, you have no asshole, how can you do this? It's really terrible."
In the black market, people gathered in twos and threes to look at the grain merchants who were supposed to be there, but now there was no one in sight, and they all started cursing.
"I have a lot of money saved at home. It's not easy for the grain merchant to come and buy food to fill my stomach. But this bastard ruined my business!"
"Okay, stop arguing, wait a little longer and maybe someone will come."
Seeing the groups of people breaking through their defenses, the grain merchants who came to watch the fun were all very proud.
"Humph, this is the consequence of making a false police report!"
The grain merchants who were traveling in groups of three or four were also very happy. Seeing everyone like this, they felt very clear in their hearts.
"I think we should wait for two more days. We will come out when everyone gets impatient."
"Yes, I have a good idea. Why don't we spread the word that we will come to sell food tomorrow, but in fact we won't even come!"
"You are so mean! You are giving someone a taste of their own medicine."
"But I like this method. I think it will work!"
"Hahaha~" Several people couldn't help but cover their mouths to hold back their laughter, and finally they couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"What are you laughing at!" In an instant, they were glared at by the crowd, and they stopped laughing immediately.
Seeing everyone's anxious looks, no one wanted to go back, so they just watched the fun.
There was no policeman stationed outside the black market, fearing that what happened yesterday would happen again.
the other side.
"get out of class is over!"
After class at night school, Li Kailang went to the black market to check out the situation.
"See if you can find a grain merchant. It's better to sell the grain as soon as possible to avoid having to look for one later."
So far, only Zhang San has been found, and he alone cannot eat so much food.
Many grain traders have been arrested. Now is the time to expand market share, but it will be hard to say what will happen after a while.
Come to the black market.
Li Kailang looked at the black market where there were still many people. Everyone was anxious and talking in twos and threes.
"Alas, it seems that the grain merchant will not come today. Let's go back."
"You son of a bitch, you have nothing to gain without money. You've left us without food to buy."
"Okay, there's no point in saying anything now. The grain merchants must be playing tricks on us. What else can we do? The situation is stronger than us."
"Yes, the food is in their hands. We need their help, so we have no choice but to obey them."
Seeing that there was no food, everyone decided not to wait here in vain and went home one after another.
Several gathered grain merchants looked on and felt even happier.
"Found it. I'm really lucky today. I met several of them at once."
Li Kailang looked at the people around Zhang San. He didn't expect that he would meet them all at once when he came by to take a look. This time he would catch them all in one swoop.
"Hey friend, do you need food?"
Zhang San and others were startled by the sudden question.
"Friend, what did you say?" Wang Wu subconsciously pretended to be confused, fearing that Li Kailang was a policeman who came to find out.
Zhang San recognized Li Kailang's voice as familiar, but he was not completely sure.
"Forget it, I'll ask the next one."
Li Kailang asked the next person: "Hey friend, do you want food?"
"It's you! Li Si!" Zhang San finally recognized him. "Zhang San, is that you?" Li Kailang asked back.
"It's me. How come you still have food to sell?"
"Of course, I have plenty."
"Do you have any more? Sell it to me." Zhang San said immediately.
"Sell it to you? Can you eat it? I have quite a lot. Last time I sold several hundred kilograms and you couldn't eat it all."
"How many hundreds of kilograms?" Wang Wu and other grain merchants looked at Li Si in unison. He was actually so rich.
Since Zhang San can't eat, they can help him eat some.
"Zhang San can't finish it, I can help eat some. My friend said so, can you sell me some? The price is negotiable."
"Okay, okay, what's your price?"
Wang Wu interrupted: "It's not convenient to talk here, let's go somewhere else."
"Row."
The group immediately went to a secluded place to discuss business.
Wang Wu was curious: "Friend, how did you get so much food? There was a strict investigation some time ago, and many people were arrested."
"How did you get so much food? Who are you connected to?"
Zhao Liu, Sun Qi and others also looked on curiously, hoping that Li Si could give them some directions.
If they hadn't hidden themselves so well and paid a lot of money to their superiors to protect themselves, they wouldn't have been able to live in peace.
They were curious about where Li Kailang got the confidence to say this?
Li Kailang said, "Why? If I don't say it, the deal won't be done? Forget it then."
After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped immediately by them.
"Forget about it. We can make money by being harmonious. If there is money to be made, why not make it?"
"Yeah, there's no need to be so hard on the money. Just forget it if you don't want to take it. We were the ones who asked too much."
Several people spoke well of him, saying that they couldn't let go of this good opportunity.
After handing over a lot of money, they didn't have much left in their pockets.
"We don't know each other, so we can do business together. Just name a price and I'll sell it to you if it's suitable."
Wang Wu and the others looked at each other and exchanged glances: "First, let me ask you, how much food do you have?"
Li Kailang was full of pride: "I have as much as you want. I have plenty of connections and food. It all depends on how big your appetite is."
At this time, you have to show your momentum in order to negotiate a good price.
Several people looked at each other, then looked at Zhang San.
Zhang San shrugged. He didn't expect Li Kailang to be so capable. He had underestimated him before.
I thought he was from some village, hiding some food and coming to the city to make money.
"If you really have this ability, I want 1000 kilograms!" Wang Wu Fugui begged for help in danger.
Wealth is attractive, but there is really nothing you can do if you have no money in your pocket.
"I also want 1000 kilograms." Several others also spoke up, fearing that they would be slow to catch up.
"Okay, okay, give me a price and I'll sell it if it's suitable."
Everyone looked at Zhang San. He had a deal with Li Kailang, and no one wanted to be taken advantage of.
"Two yuan a pound of coarse grains."
"This price is OK. What do you think, my friends?"
Li Kailang nodded: "Okay, let's go with this price."
It doesn’t matter if I can’t get them to raise the price. We’re all making money anyway, no matter how much or how little.
"Okay." Several people said happily.
If it was before the grain merchants were arrested, it would definitely not be so expensive, but after they were arrested, there was less grain on the market, so the price naturally went up.
But even if the price increases, it will only be the same as the price before the autumn harvest.
After that, we will discuss the details.
"Okay, happy cooperation." Everyone shook hands and made peace.
The grain merchants were very excited because they not only replenished their grain but also made money by selling the grain.
The most important thing is that you don’t have to hand over all the extra food you get, you can keep a large portion of it for yourself.
"By the way, do you want food now?"
"You have it now?" Several people were surprised that Li Kailang had ready-made food. Shouldn't he have hidden it? He was so bold.
"Of course, do you want to? If you do, I'll take you there right now."
"Yes, yes, yes. We need it now, but we don't have any money with us."
"It's okay. I'll wait for you."
"Okay, wait a moment, we'll be back soon."
After a while, Zhang San and others came back with the money, and Li Kailang took them to a remote place.
Let them wait outside while you deal with it first.
"Okay, come in and take a look."
When Zhang San and others came in, all they saw was grain, at least four or five thousand kilograms.
Several people looked at Li Kailang in shock, wondering where he came from and how powerful he was.
He actually found such a place to hide the grain. He was not afraid that so much grain would be discovered and confiscated. Wouldn't that be a huge loss?
"So much food! Li Si, we came here in such a hurry that we didn't bring enough money. Let's discuss how to divide it."
"Row."
Immediately, Zhang San and others went to a corner to discuss something.
Wang Wu: "What do you mean? Do you want to rob other thieves?"
"This is a bit difficult. We don't know his background?"
"Who cares? If we can get money for this much food, not only will we not spend a penny, but we can also make at least 1,000 or 2,000 yuan after selling it."
"What do you think?"
"It's hard to say. I'll follow whatever you do."
Several people had already discussed it secretly when they were withdrawing the money, but no one made a decision until they saw the food.
Now that the food has been seen, it is time to make a decision.
"I think this is a difficult matter. Maybe he has someone."
"He has people, and we have people too. All the people outside are ours."
The whispers of several people were heard by Li Kailang.
"Hmph, you always want to rob your fellow thieves. Why bother? Isn't it good to make money in harmony?" He shook his head helplessly.
Li Kailang didn't want to kill them. Killing them was easy, but how could he sell the space?
Even though there are already hundreds of thousands of dollars now, it is still not too much. Li Kailang is thinking of buying a street directly after it is opened.
This street has a population of hundreds of thousands, or even millions.
There are other places that also cost money, such as the courtyard houses near the Forbidden City, which are also worth buying.
It is hard to say whether it will be the Sijiu City that surrounds the Forbidden City, or his Siheyuan that surrounds the Forbidden City.
"Sigh~" Shaking his head, Li Kailang blocked their view and pretended to take out a super bazooka from the food.
"When the time comes, this is the most useful thing."
"No, no, no, it's bad." Sun Qi shuddered in fear when he saw the Super Bazooka.
Several people immediately turned around and were all shocked and broke out in cold sweats. What was there to discuss now?
"I think we should just forget about it."
“I think so.”
"Let's get rich together!"
If the bazooka is used, they will be either killed or crippled. Even if Li Kailang is killed, the food cannot be saved.
Why bother.
When doing business, the most important thing is to make money through harmony.
Zhang San smiled amiably and said, "Li Si, we have discussed it."
"Okay, as long as you guys agree, you can decide how to divide it. I just want the money."
"Okay, that's easy." Zhang San immediately reached out and took the money from others.
"This is the money to buy 5 kilograms of food. We came in such a hurry that we didn't bring enough small yellow croakers. We will make up for it next time."
"Okay." Li Kailang nodded and took the small yellow croaker and a handful of money.
"The payment and goods have been settled. You can divide the food among yourselves. I have something to do so I will be leaving now."
"Don't worry, I won't call the police. After all, when we do business, we value steady growth and harmony brings wealth."
"Yes, yes." Several people nodded repeatedly and wiped the sweat from their foreheads. They were so scared that they thought Li Kailang had guessed their thoughts.
"gone."
With a wave of his hand, Li Kailang left.
After Li Kailang had completely walked away, Zhang San and others dared to call the people outside the door to come in and move the food.
