Although among the Lin family's shopkeepers in various places, Tong David, the shopkeeper of Rhine County, is not considered a very outstanding one.
Or, like him, a shopkeeper who was only in charge of the transit warehouse before could not be regarded as a real shopkeeper in a certain sense.
It's just that he is in charge of a few people who guard the warehouse and move goods, and he is just a shopkeeper.
However, Lin Jingyun had to admit that his sister Lin Shuer still had a very good sense of recognizing people.
There is no doubt about David Tong’s ability.
Duan Wenjun asked him to clean up all the raw materials here. Lin Jingyun thought this would be a very difficult task.
In particular, Duan Wenjun actually asked him not to let outsiders know that it was the Lin family who was doing the selling.
Especially, the Dai family.
This made him feel even more impossible.
However, before going out, Lin Zhengying once ordered him to listen to Duan Wenjun all the way.
In particular, Duan Wenjun also told him that this might be related to the future of the Lin family and the life and death of the Lin family.
So, he couldn't refuse.
At this moment, there are only a few days left before the Mid-Autumn Festival.
The annual autumn festival begins on the fifth day after the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Lin Jingyun thought at first that if he had to wait until all these raw materials were sold before continuing on the road, he would definitely not be able to catch up with Qiu Wei when he arrived in the capital.
He was a little frustrated in his heart.
However, he never expected that in just two days, all the raw materials piled up in dozens of yards would be sold out.
The ones in this courtyard now are the last ones.
The buyer has already paid the money and is just waiting for the goods to be delivered to the dock.
"Sir, this is the money after the sale. Please take a look at it." David Tong turned around and took out a wooden box from the house, walked to Lin Jingyun's side tremblingly and said.
The wooden box is not very big.
Therefore, Lin Jingyun was slightly stunned.
According to previous estimates, the raw materials in these yards should be worth a lot of money.
Isn’t David Tong’s box a little too small...
However, when David Tong opened the lid of the box, he couldn't help but be shocked.
He instantly understood that David Tong's trembling and frightened look was not because he was afraid of himself.
But because of him, he was too nervous.
Not only David Tong was nervous, but also Lin Jingyun was nervous at this moment.
He picked up the top few banknotes and looked at them. They were all worth one thousand taels.
He looked at David Tong in horror and said, "All?"
David Tong nodded.
Lin Jingyun became even less calm.
Inside the wooden box, neatly and full, were all one thousand taels of silver notes.
The box is not big. If it contains silver, it cannot hold much.
But if it were packed with banknotes, I'm afraid it would be hundreds of thousands of taels.
"That young man is really a genius." At this moment, David Tong spoke again, "He actually expected that as soon as the news came out, the Dai family would take over."
David Tong's tone became very low, "Although we sent several groups of people to let the news out, the last people we contacted were all people from the Dai family."
"The Dai family is the largest imperial merchant in Suibu." Lin Jingyun didn't take it seriously. "Shu'er robbed them of a lot of raw materials, and their inventory would definitely be insufficient. Now that someone is selling, it's normal for them to rush to buy."
"I'm just worried that the Dai family will notice something?" David Tong was still a little worried. "After all, Mr. Duan has told us that when we take action, we cannot let the Dai family know the identity of our Lin family."
"So, these banknotes all belong to the Dai family?" Lin Jingyun didn't seem to care about David Tong's worries. He moved his eyes away from the wooden box and looked at the last delivery carriage behind the door, which disappeared from sight.
"Yes!" David Tong nodded.
"The Dai family is so fucking rich." Lin Jingyun sighed. "When we were in Wangjiang, my father always wanted to compete with Duan Daxiong to see who was the richest man in Wangjiang. But compared to this... …”
When he said this, there was a wry smile on his face again, "Even the properties of our Lin family are probably not worth the box of cash notes that the Dai family brought out."
Of course, in his mind, he also thought about Duan Wenjun's money to build the inn...
Although the banknotes in the box were just the tip of the iceberg of the Dai family, he had no idea how rich the Dai family really was.
However, he thought about the inn that Duan Wenjun was building, and that Duan Wenjun asked Lin Shuer to come to the capital and earn so much in just ten days.
The strength of the Duan family is definitely not as simple as his father imagined...
When David Tong heard this, he couldn't help but smile lightly and said, "Master, no matter how much money the Dai family spends, these banknotes now belong to you, Master, and belong to the Lin family."
"Shopkeeper Tong, you don't understand!" Lin Jingyun shook his head, "You should know that it was not father who asked Shu'er to come to the capital."
"I understand!" David Tong shook his head. "Otherwise, why would the master ask me to arrange to send all these raw materials back to Wangjiang?"
However, as soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly realized something was wrong.
He raised his head and stared at Lin Jingyun, with a look of surprise on his face and said, "My lord, why did the master suddenly change his mind and let you come over to take charge of the overall situation, and why did he sell out these raw materials?"
Lin Jingyun smiled, reached out and closed the lid of the wooden box in David Tong's hand, without answering.
However, David Tong seemed to have understood.
Instantly, his face turned extremely pale.
"Young Master, not the master..." He realized something was wrong, "Young Master, you are confused!"
"I don't know if he's confused or not." Lin Jingyun reached out and patted his shoulder. "Don't worry, if my father blames me, I'll bear it."
"My eldest son, the young lady has already had trouble with the Dai family in order to snap up these raw materials." David Tong was shocked. "If the Dai family realizes that we are the ones selling these raw materials..."
"It doesn't matter, just know it if you know it!" A wry smile appeared on Lin Jingyun's face. "Anyway, Wenjun just said that no one should know our identity when selling, and he didn't say that we would have to take care of it after the sale..."
David Tong was stunned when he heard this.
Lin Jingyun's words seem to be correct.
But when I think about it carefully, it seems wrong.
This business is the Lin family's business.
However, whether the young lady came to collect the raw materials or the eldest son stayed to sell out the raw materials, this did not seem to be what the master meant.
The young master and the young lady did this after listening to the words of the young master of the Duan family...
This undoubtedly pushed the Lin family to the opposite side of the Dai family.
If the Dai family wants to deal with the Lin family...
David Tong no longer dared to think any further, "Eldest Young Master, if the Dai family knew about it, it would be easier than squeezing an ant to death if they wanted to deal with us!"
"Don't worry, we are not ants." Lin Jingyun smiled faintly. "Even if we are an ant, we are still ants that climbed onto a big bear that just woke up. If the bear does not fall, the ants will be fine."
However, he murmured, "I hope my feeling is right. He is really a big bear that just woke up..."
Lin Jingyun's words seemed to be speaking to David Tong.
It seems, more like, talking to himself.
