Zui Chun Tower.
Li Jin once again invited several wealthy businessmen to come for dinner.
The food was still very sumptuous, but there was always an inexplicable smile on Li Jin's face, which made people shudder.
When the wealthy businessmen and landlords saw Li Jin's appearance, although they were confused, they still couldn't help but ask:
"Master Prefect, when can our food be sold?"
"Half a month has passed now. If we don't sell it, I'm afraid that the people in the city will starve to death."
This time, in order to make a lot of money, many people borrowed loan sharks to buy food.
Some people even did not hesitate to buy grain from Huguang and went through a lot of hardships to bring the grain to Hepu County.
Of course, in addition to local grain merchants and landowners, some businessmen from other places and large grain merchants also flocked to Hepu.
Hepu has not seen these outsiders coming here for many years.
Li Jin glanced at these people, and then said:
"I'm seeing you guys want to get rich. Can't you hold your thoughts back anymore?"
Everyone laughed awkwardly, and then one person stood up and said:
"We are just drinking some soup with the Lord. We don't know that the Lord's treasury is almost piled up."
"If these grains are sold, I'm afraid you will definitely become rich."
The remaining wealthy businessmen all agreed:
"Yes, if it weren't for your lord's wisdom and martial arts, we wouldn't be able to make this money. Your lord is our Qingtian!"
"That's right. We will send you a Ten Thousand People Umbrella some other day to show your kindness."
"Yeah!"
"..."
Li Jin waited until everyone had finished speaking, then gently raised his wine glass, took a sip, and said:
"The food can indeed be sold!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was extremely excited. The opportunity to make money was right in front of them. It was up to everyone whether they could grasp it.
But Li Jin's next words made everyone confused.
"But the price needs to change."
"The price set before is really not suitable now."
The smiles on everyone's faces gradually turned to stone, and then they asked cautiously:
"May I ask, sir, how much should the price of this food be?"
"It's about 10% more than the market price."
Li Jin looked indifferent and said lightly:
"Ten percent is quite a lot, enough for you to earn a lot of hard money."
"boom!"
Everyone present was shocked.
You must know that the price Li Jin mentioned at the beginning was three times the market price.
And now the price outside has been speculated to be even more expensive than this price.
Now Li Jin actually cut the price by two-thirds in one breath. This is really too much.
"Sir, that's not what you told us back then!"
An old landowner, unable to bear the blow, stood up tremblingly and asked Li Jin.
Li Jin said casually:
"This price change depends on demand."
"Now that you have purchased so much rice from other places, grain merchants from other places also come to join in the fun."
"The current food reserves are far greater than the needs of the people."
"How many of our local people are there? Less than 100,000 people. You brought millions of stones of food here. The price must be cheaper than before."
"I'm leaving my words here today. If you want to sell it, just sell it at a price that's 10% higher than the market price."
"Whether you sell it to the common people or you sell it to me, I will take whatever you have."
"But let me know that you raised the price without authorization and sold the grain at a price 10% higher than the market price. Don't blame me for being unkind."
At the end of the sentence, Li Jin's tone suddenly turned cold, his sharp eyes swept across the audience, and finally he said:
"Okay, those who are willing to do business with me can stay, and those who don't want to do business can leave."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was silent and looked at each other, not knowing how to respond.
Before coming, everyone had dreams of getting rich instantly, but now, Li Jin gave them a blow, forcing them to reconsider their next actions.
At this moment, a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes stood up, snorted coldly, and walked out the door.
It's obvious that this person is a fool who doesn't want to take things easy.
