The conversation with Zhu Biao ended, and Su Jing's counterattack clarion call started immediately.
News of Ping An Rice Bank's purchase of rice quickly spread throughout Lishui County and several surrounding counties.
At this time, when the market price has been beaten to a very low level by Liu's Rice Store, Ping An Rice Store's behavior is undoubtedly very eye-catching.
At first, the acquisition didn't go very smoothly.
Because no one really believes that the retail price of rice is now so low, and Ping An Rice Store still offers to buy it at the original price.
This must be a scam!
But as the first person to take advantage of the trend appeared, there were immediately more followers.
Because the market was disrupted by Liu's Rice Shop, many retail investors have been holding back the rice they originally wanted to sell.
At this moment, Ping An Mihang showed up to take over, and they naturally gathered in a swarm.
Although they did not understand the behavior of Ping An Rice Store, it did not affect them from selling all the rice they had accumulated to Ping An Rice Store.
Liyang County.
Liu's rice shop.
Liu Zhaoxiang sat in front of the counter, while his son Liu Jiasheng beside him was bored and eating melon seeds.
"Dad, this is really boring. My son wants to go out."
Liu Jiasheng has been confined at home by his father Liu Zhaoxiang for several days, and he really can't stay any longer.
While talking, Liu Jiasheng had already stood up and was ready to go out.
"If you dare to step out of this door, I will break your legs so that you can't even walk."
Liu Zhaoxiang didn't make any move, just said something lightly.
Liu Jiasheng immediately and obediently took back half of his stepped foot.
Although he is stupid, he also understands what kind of person his biological father is.
The calmer it is, the more real it is.
Liu Zhaoxiang glanced at Liu Jiasheng indifferently and said: "Sit down, be patient, don't just think about having fun all day long."
Although it was his own son in front of him, Liu Jiasheng knew better that what he did this time was beheading.
Any potential risks must be nipped in the bud.
Even if most things are not told to his son Liu Jiasheng, it is impossible to completely prevent Liu Jiasheng from seeing the transfer of family members.
With his personality, if he really wanted to go out to have fun, he wouldn't even bother to talk about it.
Instead of admonishing him, it would be better to tie him to him directly.
This is the safest way.
Liu Zhaoxiang's ability to make Mihang's business so big was not only due to connections and backing, but also to his own decisiveness and prudence.
There are some things that you just won't give in to, even if it's your own son.
"I got it, Dad."
Liu Jiasheng sat down again and started eating melon seeds again.
He really doesn't have much interest in doing business.
After a while, a waiter ran in quickly, walked to Liu Zhaoxiang's side, and whispered a few words into his ear.
"Okay, finally you can't stand it any longer."
A smile appeared on Liu Zhaoxiang's face. Naturally, the guy was talking about the news about Ping An Rice Bank's acquisition.
Even though Liu Zhaoxiang has been sitting calmly in his Mihang and giving orders, he is still feeling uneasy in his heart.
Su Jing didn't accept the move at all, so for him, it was just a waste of money every day.
It’s very torturous if you can’t see the end in sight.
That is to say, Liu Zhaoxiang's qi-nurturing skills are good, and outsiders can't tell.
Now Su Jing finally made a move, no matter what it was, he was happy.
When Su Jing moved, she was taking the move.
Why accept the offer? It’s okay if you don’t accept it.
This just shows that the current method is useful.
"Continue to inquire. If you have any news, come back and tell me immediately."
Liu Zhaoxiang gave instructions to the waiter.
"Yes, from the shopkeeper."
The guy nodded and ran out immediately.
At this time, Liu Jiasheng couldn't wait to ask: "Dad, what's wrong? Is it about the one named Su?"
Liu Zhaoxiang glanced at Liu Jiasheng and said, "Young Master, I'm asking."
Upon hearing this, Liu Jiasheng was immediately unhappy. He looked at his father and said aggrievedly: "Dad, you always say that I am useless, so you have to teach me. How can I learn if you don't tell me everything?" ?”
After saying this, tears began to well up in his eyes.
Don't mention it, this emotional card is still somewhat effective.
Liu Zhaoxiang paused and said, "Okay, I'm fine today, so I'll talk to you."
"The news I just received is that Ping'an Rice Store in Lishui County has started buying rice on a large scale."
As soon as Liu Zhaoxiang finished speaking, Liu Jiasheng immediately said: "The man named Su really can't keep his temper. Now he knows how powerful he is! He must not know what you are doing. I'm afraid he won't get anything now."
Liu Zhaoxiang shook his head and said: "No, now there are people in front of Ping An Rice Store, all of whom come to ask for purchases."
"Um?"
Liu Jiasheng was stunned and puzzled: "How is this possible? The price of rice is so low now. How can anyone take the initiative to sell rice besides us?"
"Dad, didn't you say that all the old customers of Ping An Rice Store have been squeezed by us?"
Liu Jiasheng didn't understand why at all, but Liu Zhaoxiang explained: "It's very simple. His purchase price is still the original purchase price and has not been reduced."
Hearing this, Liu Jiasheng was a little confused for a while.
"Is this guy named Su crazy? Didn't he throw all the rice into his own hands? He sold it at a high price, but he can't sell it at a high price."
Liu Jiasheng looked at his father Liu Zhaoxiang in disbelief and said, "Dad, has he been fooled by you to do such a stupid thing?"
"snort."
Liu Zhaoxiang snorted coldly and said: "If he is really so stupid as you said, will your father and I always have nothing to do with him?"
"Think about it again, why would he do this?"
Although he looks down upon his own son, he is still his biological son after all.
Liu Jiasheng frowned, tilted his head and thought hard, but couldn't figure it out:
"Dad, my son really doesn't understand what medicine this Su is selling in his gourd."
Liu Zhaoxiang sighed helplessly, but his expression remained the same as before: "According to you, if your father and I sell it at a low price, aren't we also losing money? Can't you use your brain?"
Liu Jiasheng touched his head, thought for a while and said: "Dad, I really don't understand this, so you should tell me."
Liu Zhaoxiang shook his head slightly and said: "The reason is very simple. He wants to fight back and defeat us, so that he will be the only one in the family."
Fight back!
Beat yourself up!
Liu Jiasheng's expression suddenly changed, but he immediately smiled and said: "Dad, are you kidding me? Liu's Rice Shop has seven branches. Except for Lishui County, our family has the final say. This person's surname is Su." Why do you have to fight with us? To fight back, isn’t this just a fool’s errand?”
Liu Jiasheng didn't know much about Su Jing. In his opinion, Su Jing was not qualified to compete with his Liu family.
Liu Zhaoxiang said calmly: "Jia Sheng, in the business world, it is always a taboo to underestimate your opponents."
"There's more to people named Su than what you see. I can't get involved in the rice market in Lishui County. No one else can get involved in restaurants or restaurants. There's also a paper factory and so on. They all belong to him. industry."
"If his family property is really comparable, our family may not be able to compare with it."
Since he decided to take action against Su Jing, Liu Zhaoxiang must have thoroughly investigated Su Jing.
Su Jing's property in Lishui County is not well hidden.
Doing business? There are always contacts.
Although each store is now managed by professional shopkeepers, Su Jing still had to do it herself in the beginning.
If you want to check, you can always find out something.
"Is this person named Su so rich?"
Liu Jiasheng was also shocked when he heard this.
He really didn't expect that Su Jing had so many properties.
After listening to his father's description, Liu Jiasheng became nervous again: "Dad, since this guy named Su is so rich, aren't we in danger?"
Liu Jiasheng still knows what will happen if Su Jing eats all the food on the market.
After all, this is what his Liu's Rice Shop often does, manipulating rice prices.
Previously, because Lishui County was the key to safe rice sales, his family could control it, but not too much, otherwise the people would have to travel more to Lishui County.
If the nearby counties are unified into markets, then you can really do whatever you want.
"Don't worry, he is rich, but it doesn't mean he can come up with so much cash. The stall is so big, and there is a lot of silver needed to keep it running."
Liu Zhaoxiang said calmly, since the business is also very big, Liu Zhaoxiang knows the importance of cash flow very well.
If Su Jing really ignores it and takes out all the cash flow, then he will be the one in trouble.
"That's good."
Liu Jiasheng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Father, you still have a way. The person named Su is definitely no match for us!"
Liu Zhaoxiang glanced at his son and hesitated, but still did not mention the source of goods.
In his plan, even if Su Jing really used all the cash without hesitation, he would not be afraid.
Because of his food reserves, Su Jing could not even imagine it.
If he didn't really have enough reserves, Liu Zhaoxiang would not take action decisively.
He never fights an uncertain battle.
However, this time, Liu Zhaoxiang seemed to have underestimated Su Jing.
For three days in a row, Ping An Rice Store went on a buying spree and never stopped.
At first, Liu Zhaoxiang just sat on the well and watched, hoping to see when Ping An Mihang would be unable to support himself and stop the acquisition.
But there are no signs of stopping at all.
Many people discovered business opportunities and first bought low-priced rice from Liu's Rice Store and then sold it to Ping An Rice Store at a high price.
Although because of Liu Zhaoxiang's security measures, he can't buy a lot of rice at one time, and he doesn't make a lot of money either.
But there are many people who can’t help but follow suit.
As a result, Liu Zhaoxiang himself couldn't sit still.
Su Jing made such acquisitions to make money for the people, so why not give him the money to make money.
In Liu Zhaoxiang's eyes, the money should have been his.
Unfortunately, when he transported the rice to the gate of Ping An Rice Store, something unexpected happened.
Su Jing follows suit, and purchases are also limited. One person can only have a certain amount per day, and if he exceeds that, he will not accept any more.
There is also a set of signature and pledge procedures to ensure that no one comes back to sell again.
It can be said that it is a complete replica of Liu Zhaoxiang's method.
"Damn it! This guy actually does such a thing!"
Liu Zhaoxiang was a little annoyed. Su Jing made it clear that he would not be allowed to make money.
But Liu Zhaoxiang is not in a hurry. He just consumes it slowly and sees who can consume it more.
Let these people earn some money first, and they will have to spit it all back in the future!
On Su Jing's side, more and more food was purchased, and the money was constantly given away.
The shopkeeper of Ping'an Rice Shop has lost a lot of weight. He is so anxious!
But he is not the boss, so he can only follow Su Jing's instructions and continue to make acquisitions.
Zhu Biao has been following Su Jing, silently watching Su Jing's operations.
The behavior of the people all fell into Zhu Biao's eyes.
Those people who were once grateful to Su Jing are now picking up Su Jing's wool, which is not polite at all.
There is nothing wrong with selling one's own grain, but buying it from Liu's Rice Shop at a low price and then selling it to Su Jing at a high price is exactly like harvesting Su Jing.
"Master Su, can you hold on if this continues?"
Zhu Biao looked a little frightened. Such an acquisition would cost a huge amount of silver every day.
The key is that rice prices are still very low, with only Ping An Rice Store selling rice at high prices.
This is completely an act of taking advantage of someone. Once he can no longer hold on and starts selling at a low price, then Su Jing will be considered a complete loser.
"Don't panic, it's just a small scene."
Su Jing said lightly, without any change in her expression.
Just as Liu Zhaoxiang has sufficient confidence in his own food reserves, Su Jing also has sufficient confidence in his own funds.
This duel will continue to take place.
But on the other side, there is a flood-prone area in Zhejiang Province.
Some people still discovered the problem of disaster relief food.
The quantity of grain stated in the imperial document did not appear in all the affected districts and counties.
The quantity is quite large.
But without waiting for the report, news had already reached the Forbidden City.
"Rivers surge? Boats capsize?"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the memorial in front of him and frowned.
If this grain transport ship capsizes, the loss will be huge.
Not to mention that the relief fund for the victims was very full, and the court allocated food again, which was another additional expense.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang did not doubt too much. Flood disasters and turbulent rivers were common, and it was not impossible that the grain transport ship capsized.
Of course, the most important thing is that Zhu Yuanzhang does not believe that anyone dares to deceive him on such a matter.
After taking a brief look at it, he approved the application for additional grain allocation.
Disaster relief is still very important.
Now that the decision has been made, it is impossible to say that you will give up just because something happens.
This is Lao Zhu's character. Whatever is decided must be adhered to to the end.
Accidents are always inevitable.
At this time, Li Shanchang relaxed his frown.
He knew about the capsized grain transport ship earlier than Lao Zhu.
After all, he made the specific arrangements for disaster relief.
The sudden capsizing of the grain transport ship surprised Li Shanchang, and at the same time he became a little suspicious.
However, he was confused but did not choose to investigate. He just reported the truth to Lao Zhu.
Only then did I get Lao Zhu’s approval.
Seeing the approval, Li Shanchang thought about it, called his personal attendant, whispered a few words and let the attendant leave.
He sighed slightly: "I hope my guesses are all false, otherwise there will be heads rolling in again."
