Zhao Feng even came up with the most incredible thing, which was to let Zhou Bing go to Meng Da to buy grain, which made Meng Da angry almost to death.
Seeing Meng Da getting angry every day, Zhao Feng knew that his goal was almost achieved, and the next step was the most decisive step.
"Okay, isn't he already squeezed out of space? Go find him and tell him that you can lend him money and introduce him to the source of the food."
"The purpose is to share the market here equally with him. After all, such vicious competition is not good for either of you. As long as you say it sincerely, he will definitely believe it."
After hearing Zhao Feng's words, Zhou Bing became even more confused.
"Sir, what's the point of this?"
Zhao Feng shook his head helplessly. Zhou Bing was not a member of the militia, but a clerk who had followed them before. Since he had not participated in the training of the militia, he always wanted to ask why.
This does not happen with Liu Jia and Li Ding. They both do whatever Zhao Feng tells them to do without asking why.
"It's very simple. Didn't Meng Da owe Her Highness the Princess a lot of money through loan sharking before? This time we will repay him in the same way."
"Even if he could see it, he would never have thought that we would use this method to deal with him. This time I will let them make a big mistake in this matter!"
As Zhao Feng said this, he couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly. He still remembered how Granny Liu and the others teased him in court.
As the saying goes, it is ungentleman not to retaliate when one has a grudge. They have made themselves suffer, and I cannot tolerate them!
Zhou Bing understood immediately, so he followed Zhao Feng's instructions and came directly to Meng Da's mansion with some gifts.
When Meng Da heard his disciples say that Zhou Bing was here, he thought that Zhou Bing was here to humiliate him. But when he heard that Zhou Bing had brought many gifts, he took the gift list and looked at it, and couldn't help but take a breath.
"What exactly does Zhou Bing want to do?"
"Forget it, let him in!"
As the saying goes, don't hit the smiling person. Even if the business competition between the two of them has reached this point, Meng Da still needs to know where this Zhou Bing comes from and why he is targeting him?
Soon, Zhou Bing walked in with the gifts and bowed his hands to Meng Da with a smile.
"Meng Juren, I was blind before, so if I offend you a little, don't blame me!"
Upon hearing this, Meng Dapi replied with a smile.
"Shopkeeper Zhou, haven't you been competing with me? What kind of song are you singing? Is it the weasel giving New Year greetings to the chicken?"
Zhou Bing smiled and shook his head, walked in minding his own business, and then said in a pretentious manner.
"Meng Juren, when I transported grain here before, I just wanted to make a fortune."
"You said that if we had sold the grain at the same price before, wouldn't there be no such things? As a result, I had to compete viciously with you, which made it difficult for both of us to do business!"
"To be honest, I also lost a lot of money in this business, so I wanted to come over and talk to Meng Juren to see if we can put an end to the past?"
When Meng Da heard this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He knew that Zhou Bing would definitely lose money if he sold grain at such a low price, so he did not doubt Zhou Bing's words.
"Shopkeeper Zhou, what you said is wrong, right? I've been running the grain business here, and I haven't hired anyone or provoked anyone. You came here to compete with me for no reason, and now you want to settle the feud with me?"
Zhou Bing laughed again, the smile on his face was extremely sincere.
"Meng Juren, I heard that you have fertile land here, but the grain has not yet arrived, so I dare to compete with you. If the grain is harvested, how can I dare to compete with you?"
"I really want to make a fortune with you this time! As the saying goes, it's better to dissolve enemies than to marry them!"
Meng Da believed Zhou Bing's words so sincerely, but then he frowned and asked.
"Let's make a fortune together? But you have so much food, why do you need to join me?"
When Zhou Bing heard this, he suddenly lowered his voice mysteriously and said.
"To be honest, I do have a source of food, and I also have a special way to transport this food!"
"Usually when transporting food, it costs at least 500 taels of silver to transport it from our place to the capital, right? But if we use this method, the cost can be reduced to 50 taels!"
Meng Da took a breath instantly. If the cost of transporting food is so different, no wonder Zhou Bing dared to sell at a lower price before.
Seeing that Meng Da had taken the bait, Zhou Bing continued.
"And this is just one of the ways. If Meng Juren is interested, why not listen to me explain to you in detail. We can transport cheap grain from other places here, and then sell the grain produced here at a high price. Transport them to areas that are short of food for sale.”
"In this way, Meng Juren can not only be a supplier of grain, but also a big businessman who specializes in selling grain. Isn't this making money from both ends?"
Meng Da was indeed interested. Although Youzhou can't produce much food, it can still produce some food compared to areas that are really short of food.
If the cost of transporting food is really that low, then of course he must seize this opportunity, because it will also allow him to make more money, which may be able to make up for his previous losses.
"However, because this way of transporting grain is very scarce, a certain amount of deposit needs to be paid there, and a large amount of grain needs to be ordered directly!"
When Meng Da heard this, he instinctively felt that something was wrong, took a breath and said.
"But wouldn't a large amount of food fall into my hands?"
Zhou Bing immediately shook his head and whispered.
"We can sell these grains elsewhere!"
"If you calculate it from the inside out, we can both make a lot of money. It's because I don't have the strength to do such a big business that I came here to find you!"
Meng Da thought for a moment and felt that this was indeed a good idea, but he quickly frowned.
"Although what you said is very good, I don't have that much silver on hand. This is a big business worth hundreds of thousands of taels of silver!"
Zhou Bing smiled slightly: "Meng Juren, I am still very powerful. You should believe this."
"So I can lend you the money privately. Anyway, I am also involved in this business. I will not make fun of my own wealth and life!"
