"Manager Wu. We have just confirmed that these people are indeed from Liangdu, and what they said is exactly the same as what we saw and heard in Liangdu."
"Manager Wu, we have contacted each other. Now the ducks and ducks in the villages and villages nearby that mainly breed poultry have been reserved by us. As long as they want to do business with the Qin family in the future, they must cooperate with us!"
That night, two pieces of good news reached Manager Wu's ears one after another, which made him very happy.
Early the next morning, these Beiliang people got up early and planned to say goodbye.
In Manager Wu's mind, it would be best to isolate this group of people in his village in the name of treating guests and let him control it, but he also knew that unless the other party was really greedy for pleasure and stupid, he would not be able to do this. We couldn't force the law, so we had to let them go.
But among the leaving team, there was Deng Jinbiao who was generous and took the initiative to help.
Looking at the back of the leading Beiliang nobleman who left with a grateful and proud expression, Manager Wu quietly raised the corner of his mouth.
When they arrived at Huilong Town, Deng Jinbiao didn't even bother to rest. After settling down in the inn, he accompanied them on the road to buy ducks again.
They arranged a carriage and two men in advance, and prepared to set off and escort them back after the acquisition was completed, just like yesterday.
But I didn't expect that today's situation would change instantly like the sudden change of weather in summer.
There were very few responders to this acquisition!
The leading nobleman from Beiliang immediately became anxious, "What's going on? There were so many people here yesterday, and they bought nearly 10,000 ducks in just one moment. Why is there no one here today?"
Of course Deng Jinbiao knew what was going on, but he also pretended to feel the same anxiety, "That's wrong! There should be hundreds of thousands of ducks in Longzhen this time, why is no one coming to sell them!"
He rubbed his chin, "Is it possible that you have decided that you are going to raise the price, so you are not willing to buy it at the price of sixty cents?"
The noble man of Beiliang suddenly became a little ugly. He called an entourage and whispered a few words in his ear, making it clear that he was suspicious of Deng Jinbiao and the Qin family behind him.
After hearing this, the attendant greeted another person and left quickly.
Deng Jinbiao watched silently, pretending that he had not seen this scene, and just sneered in his heart, stupid foreigner, you know nothing about the Qin family's abilities!
Not long after, the entourage came back and said a few words in the ear of the noble man from Beiliang. The noble man from Beiliang's face became increasingly ugly.
He took a strong breath, walked to Deng Jinbiao's side, and smiled with him, "In your opinion, what should we do now?"
Deng Jinbiao seemed to have not seen what happened just now, and thought seriously: "The best way is to lower the price, of course, to fifty cents, which is lower than sixty cents, and higher than the market price of forty cents, so that everyone knows that there is no need to wait any longer. There won’t be much benefit, and at the same time, I’m afraid that even this benefit will be lost, so people will naturally flock to them.”
The Beiliang noble's eyes lit up and he heard Deng Jinbiao's words behind him, "But this is the way for us real businessmen. But you can't do it."
The noble man from Beiliang looked puzzled, "Why aren't we businessmen?"
Deng Jinbiao said: "You are the ones who perform the tasks of the master. Making money is not your primary purpose. Completing the tasks assigned by the master is the primary purpose. For a businessman like me, I can follow the farmers like an eagle. But, I can really not buy it, just slap my ass and leave, can you do that? If you can't buy enough ducks, can you do business when you go back?"
The noble man from Beiliang pursed his lips and fell silent.
Deng Jinbiao struck while the iron was hot, "Your master is rich, and even said that hundreds of thousands of taels of silver are fine. What about those of us who are working below? Naturally, everything should be done well in the tasks assigned by the master, otherwise it will be given away But what do you think about our own lives?"
"Hey!" The noble man from Beiliang suddenly sighed, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your advice, otherwise I would still be indecisive!"
He immediately said: "Go and issue a notice, the price will be increased to eighty cents per piece today!"
In a wealthy businessman in Huilong Town, a salesman from the Qin family who was the same as Deng Jinbiao was sitting in the main hall with the owner of the family. After hearing the news that his servants rushed back, he smiled lightly and looked at the owner proudly, " Mr. Xu, what do you think? I am right, right?"
"It's amazing! It's amazing! Your Majesty is indeed a mastermind. They actually raised the price!"
The owner of the household grinned so hard that his gums spread. As the largest farmer in Huilong Town, the tenants under him and his own farm can produce tens of thousands of ducks in total. He is the number one farmer in Huilong Town this time. , if one sells for twenty cents more, that’s more than a thousand taels of silver!
If you want to earn so much money on a daily basis, you have to save hard for a year or two.
He smiled and said: "Then let's wait for him to endure it for a while and wait until he reaches 100 yuan tomorrow?"
The Qin family shopkeeper looked at this greedy smiling face and felt a little disdainful in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. "That's natural, but we still have to let out tens of thousands of them today."
The head of the household looked hesitant when he heard this, obviously reluctant to part with it.
The salesman of the Qin family cursed his stupidity in his heart and said coldly: "You don't sell at all. You fools also know that there is something behind this. I really made people angry, and the other party just left. You can sell it to Zhongzhong for forty cents." Come to the capital!"
The other party immediately woke up and nodded repeatedly, "Your Excellency has taught you the right lesson. I will go and discuss arrangements with my colleagues."
One day passed by in a flash. Looking at the more than 8,000 ducks he bought, the noble man from Beiliang had some displeasure on his face.
He understood that he was being manipulated by these sellers.
But it seemed that Deng Jinbiao's words were still listened to by him. What his master cared about was whether they could complete the task, not how much money they spent, so his expression was not that ugly.
He asked his two men to hire carriages and horses to escort the duck back to Beiliang. He and Deng Jinbiao sat in the inn room, clinking glasses over a table of wine and food.
"Brother Deng, we might as well open the skylight and speak frankly. Now that two days have passed, are the Qin family willing to help? If not, we might as well find someone else."
Deng Jinbiao looked at the man who was busy and sighed, "Manager Wu has already told you about this matter that day. If it were a normal matter, the Qin family would naturally be willing to help, but your family is obviously a nobleman from Beiliang, and there are also some involved. As far as saving people's lives, it won't be of much benefit to my Qin family if this is done well, but if something goes wrong, my Qin family won't offend the master of your mansion."
"However, if this matter comes to pass, the Qin family will surely gain the friendship of my master."
Deng Jinbiao shook his head, "One of the secrets of the Qin family's everlasting foundation is that the Qin family would rather not take advantage of it and try not to take risks. Therefore, the Qin family will not take action this time, but with the permission of the manager, I can personally I am here to help you."
Seeing that there was nothing he could do, the noble man from Beiliang had no choice but to sigh and raise his glass to drink.
On the following third and fourth days, they sent people to contact the surrounding big families, hoping that they could help contact them, but these wealthy businessmen who had been warned by the Qin family early on just made excuses to decline.
On the other hand, after they continued to increase the price, the price reached 100 cash on the third day, and the price soared to 150 cash on the fourth day. They could harvest nearly 10,000 pigs every day.
As several more subordinates escorted the duck away, there were only about ten people left in the original team of more than twenty people.
And there is only the last day left in the five-day period.
During this period, Deng Jinbiao accompanied him all the time and was very busy, which made everyone in this group very grateful.
But thanks are due, and the current results make everyone a little distressed. After four days of purchasing, they only received more than 40,000 ducks, and in the end, the price rose to a high price of 150 yuan. Such a result , making the whole team fall into a kind of pessimism and sadness.
In the evening, the nobleman from Beiliang was sitting in the room, still facing Deng Jinbiao across a table of food and wine.
"Brother Deng, to be honest, we are still a long way from the master's plan for us. Can Brother Deng help us think of a solution?"
Deng Jinbiao sighed, "It's not that I don't want to help, but my young master made it clear that he doesn't want to get involved in this matter."
"Brother Deng!" The other party directly pressed Deng Jinbiao's hand, looking anxious, "Tomorrow is the last day, and we have to set off back to Beijing no matter what tomorrow afternoon, so I am willing to pay for Brother Deng to help contact someone. Fan, I’ll give you two hundred coins each, it’s up to you how you do it for them!”
Deng Jinbiao was ecstatic, but his face showed embarrassment, "I really want to earn your money, but I really don't have the ability! I am just a Qin family salesman."
"Brother Deng, you can't just die without saving me! I'll give you three hundred coins! Please help me, Brother Deng!"
"Forget it!" Deng Jinbiao sighed, "I will go and contact you overnight and do my best!"
The noble man from Beiliang stood up excitedly and put his hand on his chest, "Brother Deng, no matter what the outcome is, I will give you my most precious friendship, my most precious friend!"
——
On the other side, in Zhongjing City, inside the Qin Mansion.
A carrier pigeon accurately landed on the rack of the pigeon house. The people in the pigeon house immediately stepped forward to take it off, checked the mark, and then hurried out and knocked on Qin Yuwen's door.
"Sir, Liang Du replied."
Qin Yuwen, who was discussing the "battle" with Jiang'an Houfu and the details of the duck hoarding plan with Manager Xiao, immediately stood up, took the rolled letter paper and opened it, his expression suddenly changed.
Manager Xiao quickly asked out of curiosity: "Sir, what does the letter say?"
Qin Yuwen turned to look at him with a complicated expression, "Only one powerful person in Liangdu has become seriously ill recently, and it is consistent with what the person said."
"Who?"
"The Seventh Princess, the most beloved of Emperor Liang, is said to have been ill for a long time and has not been seen in public for several months."
"hiss!"
