"The total amount of food you have in hand is only 150,000 dan. Let's do this. I will take over it all at 40% off the original market price. If you agree, we will pay and deliver the goods. If you don't agree, If so, then I’ll say goodbye and just pretend I’ve never been here!”
Zhao Ting smiled and took out a jade pendant from his sleeve. He sat there and played with it silently, quietly waiting for their end.
"I said, Mr. Zhao, are you afraid that you are mentally ill? Or else, lard has blinded your mind. Even though we are hoarding food, the government has not taken any action against us. As long as we release the food at a fair price now, , is it possible that the government will still come to trouble us? Sixty percent of the market price? Just go back to where you came from!"
If Zhao Ting took it over at market price, they might just let it go. After all, at this time, the most important thing is to get rid of these things quickly.
Originally these were copper coins, but now they are life-threatening charms.
"Hahahaha, I think you guys still haven't seen the situation clearly. I can tell you clearly that the officers and soldiers who arrested you are gathering now. In half an hour at most, they will be in place. You Do you really think that Zhang is so easy to mess with? You are causing trouble in his territory. If he doesn't deal with you properly, how can he be worthy of his uncle who is the master!"
As soon as Zhao Ting said these words, the four businessmen were all dumbfounded.
"Mr. Zhao, are you trying to scare us with your alarmist talk?"
Guan Yunliang was completely confused now. Something was not right about this matter. Why didn't they receive any information in advance?
"Alarmist? If it hadn't been for this incident, I wouldn't have dared to take such a big advantage in front of these gentlemen! Don't you still know who is responsible for Jinxiu Bank?"
Unlike others, the one caught behind Zhao Ting's back now is His Highness King Zhao.
As long as you sign your name on the contract, these things will become the property of King Zhao.
"We need to discuss it for a moment!"
Guan Yunliang's face was gloomy. They had already risked all their wealth for these grains.
The time to really make money has not yet begun. If they throw these things out at this time, they will lose.
However, hoarding was always a serious crime in the Han Dynasty, ranging from confiscating homes to genocide. Originally, if Liu Deng didn't know about it, they could still have fun, but after knowing about Jinxiu Bank, they were already timid!
After being frightened by this guy again, they really hesitated for a while...
"This guy surnamed Zhao must be bluffing us. If such a thing really happened, how dare he take over? Isn't that just throwing copper coins into the water?"
"How dare he do this kind of business? Do you think this Zhao would dare to do this if he didn't have a few backers?"
Compared with several of his companions, Guan Yunliang's vision and magnanimity were much greater. Since Zhao came to the boundary of Pingcheng, everything he had done was not like what ordinary businessmen would do.
If there was no one behind him, even Guan Yunliang himself wouldn't believe it, and all the entourage this guy brought with him all had Handan accents.
This had to make Guan Yunliang have some bad guesses.
"you mean……"
After Guan Yunliang said this, the remaining people fell silent. What is more important, money or life? This is the problem they are facing now.
"We can still make more money after the money is gone, but if we are really targeted by that person named Zhang, we will be completely ruined!"
Guan Yunliang gritted his teeth and said this matter could not be delayed any longer.
When the officers and soldiers who captured them arrived, it was too late even if they wanted to regret it. In any case, they had to make a decision quickly.
Guan Yunliang's intention was obvious. This matter was to save money and avoid disaster. If he gave away all the food in his hands, there would naturally be no hoarding!
Although a few people are still a little unwilling, it seems that there is no better way at this time...
"How's it going? Gentlemen, have you thought it through?"
Zhao Ting was not in a hurry. Anyway, at this point, these people had no choice but to sell what they had in their hands to themselves.
"It's just that I don't know if we can still negotiate on the price. After all, we spent real money to buy this thing. Now at this time..."
When Guan Yunliang said this, he couldn't help but feel a burst of pain.
I have lost at least 30% of my life's savings in one fell swoop...
"Gentlemen, if you continue to bargain here, I'm afraid you won't have to talk anymore!"
There was a sneer at the corner of Zhao Ting's mouth. These people were already fish on the chopping board. How could they bargain with him at this time?
"You should think so. At least you can recover most of your capital, and you can escape safely and still retain the opportunity to make a comeback..."
Zhao Ting's voice was like the temptation of the devil.
"I sign!"
Guan Yunliang gritted his teeth. At this time, he could only cut off his wrist.
"Very good. Those who know the current affairs are heroes. I have already prepared the contract. Gentlemen, please invite me!"
Zhao Ting sneered and took out a few contracts from his arms, and immediately someone brought a lot of salt coupons.
After all, this is the country of Dai, and the value of salt stamps can still be guaranteed.
After signing and depositing their names on the contract with trembling hands, Guan Yunliang and the four of them sat down slumped aside like defeated roosters...
"If that's the case, then I will immediately send people to the four gentlemen's warehouses to move the grain. The four gentlemen can also go back and explain!"
Looking at the contract in his hand, Zhao Ting was very satisfied. Now, almost half of the food in Pingcheng was in his hands.
Looking at Guan Yunliang and the other four, Zhao Ting couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
These four idiots are quite courageous, but they are really ignorant. There are indeed some connections, big or small, behind them, but these connections cannot support their charges of hoarding.
If the incident at Jinxiu Bank hadn't happened, perhaps Zhang Zihuan would have really given them some face. As long as they didn't do everything right, or as long as no one died, Zhang Zihuan might have been able to turn a blind eye.
But with the help of Jinxiu Bank, even if Zhang Zihuan wants to sell their face, he won't be able to...
After all, behind Jinxiu Bank stands Liu Deng!
"Master, there are a lot of officials coming outside the door. Go and take a look!"
As soon as Zhao Ting left, the official officer finally arrived. Guan Yunliang let out a sigh of relief. He actually felt like he had escaped...
"Hahahaha, tell them that I have sold all the food to someone named Zhao. Here is the contract. If you want to arrest someone, let them go to the Zhao Mansion to arrest them!"
