Chapter 659 Liu Qian was stunned
Liu Qian sneered and said disdainfully:
"I'm not trying to embarrass you on purpose. You know how precious these two kinds of grain are. The price I get from them is not low. How about this? Whoever wants the grain, I'll sell it to you in that quantity."
When Liu Qian said this, the faces of the people opposite him turned dark.
Instead of selling it to just one company, it would be better to divide it equally among several of them.
Selling it to only one company would force them to bid high.
Several people looked unhappy. They were all businessmen and no one wanted to be held in such a position.
After looking at each other, one of the officials quickly poured wine for Liu Qian:
"Let's not talk about this today. Come on, it's rare for us to get together, let's eat and have fun. Today's drink is on me."
Several others immediately agreed:
"Yes, let's eat and have fun today, and we'll talk about business tomorrow."
Several people coaxed Liu Qian to drink until he was drunk, and then they sent him back.
After Liu Qian left, the few people met again.
"I think we can't be manipulated like this. I heard that Liu Qian borrowed a lot of money for this batch of grain. I don't believe he is not in a hurry to get rid of it."
"I think you're right. As long as we don't bid, it won't matter how much he bids."
"So we have to unite to buy food at a low price. No matter who buys the food, how about we split it equally among the families?"
......
After a few whispers, they decided to unite and face the outside world and not be the scapegoats.
But after Liu Qian returned home, his eyes suddenly became clear and he no longer looked drunk.
Liu Qian is a businessman after all, otherwise he wouldn’t have been able to grow so big.
How can you not know what a few people are thinking?
The next day he went after them one by one and defeated them one by one.
If their unity involves interests, it will be worthless.
Who doesn’t want to be the only one in the market?
When I heard that we could work together individually and the price was reasonable, I naturally forgot about the idea of unity.
One of them even came to the door quietly.
In this way, Liu Qian quickly signed an agreement with one of them, and he was very satisfied with the price.
He can make a lot of money from this.
After agreeing to ship the goods the next day, Liu Qian took the deposit and hummed a little tune, feeling that his life was complete.
Fortunately, he did not listen to that noble man and cancelled the cooperation with Shen Yuan and had to pay compensation.
This is how business works: the bold ones will die of overeating, while the timid ones will die of starvation.
He didn't take the opportunity, but listened to that invisible noble man. Is he a fool?
With brisk steps, seeing that the night was getting late, Liu Qian was in a good mood today, so he prepared to go to the Red Mansion to have some fun.
I heard that a lot of beautiful girls came to the Red Mansion these days.
However, before he reached the entrance of the red building, he saw a man in black falling from the sky and coming directly in front of him.
Liu Qian staggered, and his slightly fat body moved back and he almost fell.
The man in black also had his face covered, so his features couldn't be seen clearly, but he could recognize those eyes.
The last time, it was this man in black who found me and gave me the royal jade pendant.
He...is here again?
Did he know that I didn't listen to him and continued the grain trade with Shen Yuan on my own?
Liu Qian shuddered.
Although he had a lot of bodyguards, this man looked like someone who was not easy to mess with.
No, not a man, there was another one beside him, who arrived a little late.
The two of them just stood in front of him, and their aura alone made him feel a little unsteady.
"You...why are you here?"
Liu Qian stood firm and tried his best to calm himself, but his words were still trembling.
It is true that he is a businessman and that he has money.
But in front of the nobles, he is just a lowly merchant.
Scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, in fact, the status of merchants was very low.
What's more, they didn't know which royal nobleman the person represented, so he couldn't afford to offend him.
"Mr. Liu, let me have a moment with you."
Unexpectedly, one of the men in black spoke up, but he did not blame him and his tone was quite kind.
Liu Qian breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as there is room for maneuver, everything is fine.
"Okay... okay... follow me."
Liu Qian looked around. It was dark at this time and there were few people on the road.
He led the two men through a secluded alley and into a courtyard.
A woman came out from inside and just called out "Master". She was startled when she saw two men in black.
One of the men in black knocked the woman unconscious with a slash of his hand without waiting for her to speak.
Liu Qian's heart skipped a beat. He looked at the woman on the ground, but didn't dare to say anything more, or even to care.
This woman was kept by him outside, and it didn't matter since there was only one woman.
The three of them entered the house.
"I wonder what you want to talk to me about? I..."
Liu Qian wanted to explain why he was disobedient, but before he could finish, the leading man in black picked up a cup on the table and threw it down.
The glass fell apart.
Liu Qian felt like he was about to break apart, and he fell to his knees with a thud.
"Please spare my life, sir. I didn't mean to do that. It's such a big deal, I can't bear to give it up. Moreover, if I give up, I will have to pay liquidated damages. I am unwilling to do that..."
Liu Qian kowtowed immediately.
These people have murderous auras and it is obvious that they have killed someone before.
"Mr. Liu is so brave to disobey orders!"
The man in black looked very aggressive and snorted coldly, which scared Liu Qian so much that he almost wet his pants.
"Please spare my life, sir. I won't dare to do it again. I won't dare to do it again..."
Liu Qian kowtowed repeatedly. At this moment he suddenly felt how proud he was at the beginning, and how embarrassed he was now.
At first I thought I had found a noble person, but now I think it would have been better if that had not happened. At least I wouldn’t have angered that noble person.
The man in black didn't say anything, and let him kowtow. Then he squatted down and gave him a light support.
"Mr. Liu, I haven't finished talking yet, get up quickly."
The man in black's demeanor suddenly softened, and he looked like he was willing to negotiate.
Liu Qian was a little confused.
A noble person is a noble person. The attitudes of the servants around him can change in an instant, and the change is so smooth.
"Don't dare..."
How dare he get up?
This man's face changes at any time. With such ability, he must be a capable subordinate of a nobleman.
Generally speaking, he couldn't afford to offend such people.
However, the black-clad man's grip was very tight and powerful, and he almost lifted him up and made him stand still.
Liu Qian felt like his heart was about to jump out of his throat.
"Don't be afraid, Mr. Liu. I'm not here to blame you. In fact, the master's previous instructions were just a test for you. Congratulations, you've passed the test. You did very well this time."
The man in black even helped him flick the dust off his shoulders and patted him gently, seeming to really admire him.
Liu Qian was stunned for a moment.
