Chapter 54 Buying and Selling

Jia Changhe ordered the grain merchants below one by one. Every time he said that, the faces of these people became unstable.

They were also asking themselves, and what Jia Changhe said was still reasonable.

If Liu Dongming and his group didn't come to Chongqing, they could still make money on the black market according to the traditional way of selling rice. The eight major grain merchants in Chongqing are still eight major grain merchants. They will have enough food to be sold evenly, and there will be no worries about selling grain!

But what happened after Liu Dongming came?

Everything changed in just seven or eight days. Not only did they have no interest in the food they had, but they even had to pay a lot of operating expenses.

After all, the shopkeeper, the guy, and the handling and carriages all require wages. After the rice cannot be sold, Chen still has to worry about mold and rats in the warehouse.

And these are quite a lot of expenses!

But...this is all the past!

The most important thing is that when they saw Liu Dongming's new sales methods, they were as if they saw a gold mine that could make money for them continuously, and they were lying at home to count money, which undoubtedly made them feel a little reluctant.

After all, you can make a fortune without spending your own efforts, or even make more money than before. Everyone has a scale in their hearts.

The only problem now is how to compete with others for this business. If you succeed, you will be developed, and if you fail, you will be withdrawn from this industry... It is very realistic and cruel, but it also makes all of them hesitate.

While they hope to put aside the other companies doing business, they are actually unwilling to take advantage of their own wealth and life.

"So, I came to visit Liu Xian tonight, actually just to discuss with him to see if I could close the Qinglong rice shop. In this way, how can we do business in the past and how can we do business in the future? Isn't it good if we have money?" Jia Changhe seemed to be like an old monk with kind eyebrows, his tone gradually became calm, and he spoke his thoughts earnestly.

He naturally thought of driving Liu Dongming and his group out of Chongqing with the power of eight major grain merchants, but... he also valued the new sales model of Qinglong Rice Shop more.

If it weren't for the seven major grain merchants' incident tonight, he had already decided to spend some money to compensate Liu Dongming for his losses, and then took the Qinglong Rice Shop openly, and then quickly occupied the Chongqing rice market and kicked the seven major grain merchants out of the industry with lightning speed.

However, these people are not good at all. They discovered the clues just now that they were about to take action. However, these are not important. As long as they can fool them tonight, everything is still possible.

The worst plan is to close Qinglong Rice Shop for one or two days and charge a membership fee for two days later, but it may not be a good thing.

After all, when you buy Qinglong rice shop privately, it will be a bargain!

Jia Changhe kept calculating in his heart, but Liu Dongming was not a vegetarian. He immediately stood up and smiled and said, "According to President Jia, I, Liu Dongming, wasn't a human being in Chongqing and robbed the jobs of all seniors?"

As he said that, he walked towards the center, not angry at all because of Jia Changhe's words just now, but instead said to everyone with a calm look on his face: "Didn't you all realize that I, Liu Dongming, are taking everyone to make a fortune?"

After saying this, he turned his head and looked at Jia Changhe, clasped his fists and continued, "President Jia would like to borrow some pen and ink!"

"Work and serve!" Jia Changhe was in a state of uncertainty. He didn't know what medicine was selling in Liu Dongming's gourd, but he still gritted his teeth and ordered to the side.

Soon, a servant from the Jia family sent a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, but there was no ink grinding in the inkstone. It was obvious that the servant of the Jia family was deliberately embarrassed.

Liu Dongming didn't care either, so he spread the rice paper directly on the ground, then picked up the tea cup and took a sip, then poured the tea in the tea cup into the inkstone, stirred it casually with a brush and outlined it with lines on the rice paper.

In just ten minutes, a map of China appeared in front of everyone.

However, there is obviously a line in the map that connects many provincial capitals. Everyone thought about it for a moment that the front of this line was the Jialing River!

Liu Dongming was very satisfied with his paintings. Without waiting for everyone to ask questions, he pointed directly at Jialingjiang and said, "Seniors, I won't talk about the current situation. Apart from Sichuan, there is only Jiangsu and Zhejiang. The two lakes are not short of food at present, and other places... Hehe, I'm afraid even if you have money, it's not easy to buy!"

As the saying goes, people are iron rice and steel without eating for a day. Not only people, but there is no one who can move without eating. In today's war years, gold, silver and legal currency are actually external things, and only food is the foundation.

Of course, this is also mostly aimed at the people in the war zone, and they can actually make ends meet in non-war zones.

Just like Sichuan and the two lakes, because it is located in the central area, not only is the province sufficient food, but the gentry and landlords also have old surplus grains to be sold, which is like two worlds from the outside world.

Although the grain merchants did not understand what Liu Dongming meant, they could not help but nodded, and did not make a sound to hear what Liu Dongming said next.

Liu Dongming continued: "I came to Chongqing to do rice and grain business with nothing to do. The main reason is to try my business model so that it can be promoted in other provinces and cities in the future. Now it seems that the effect is very good! Please see, seniors, our Sichuan is a natural granary, and Chengdu carries countless rice and grain from Dujiangyan, and Chongqing Jiangbei also produces a lot of production with the Jialing River and many tributaries. However, due to road reasons, in fact, besides the Guangyuan Road, which is difficult to walk on the road, the only way is our Chongqing Jialing River connecting the Yangtze River!"

Once you pass the Jialing River and enter the Yangtze River, you can travel north and south outside, without any obstacles on this land in China.

Everyone knows this.

In fact, many of them transported grain to other places for sale through water, and even made great profits.

So they agreed with Liu Dongming's words.

At that moment, one of the grain merchants frowned and said, "Brother Liu means to let us transport grain out of Sichuan?"

In fact, this is what the other people think.

Although the profits are made by transporting grain out of Sichuan, the loss in the middle is actually not low.

The white-faced treatments on all sides, and the black-faced gifts on the mountain, plus the shipping costs... are really expensive. After careful calculation, it is actually not much more than doing business in Chongqing.

The most important thing is to take risks when you work hard, which is not cost-effective in their opinion.

"Of course you have to go out of Sichuan!" Liu Dongming smiled and pointed his finger at two places in Hunan and Hubei and continued: "I just said that the two lakes are also big granaries. Now the situation in these two places is still over. Have you ever thought about buying grain directly in these two places? Then, I will use my membership system to sell rice and grain to other provinces? Even if you don't go through water and land, you can save a lot of shipping costs? The most important thing is that I plan to split the three stores in Qinglong Rice Shop in the southeast and west of the Qinglong Rice Shop for sale. In this way, the pressure on the seniors in Chongqing will be much less. I don't say secret words here. I know that I am not a match for you. I want to use this plan to make good friends with you. At the same time, I hope that you will be a little higher when bidding for the Mi Store in the future, so that the boy and brothers will not be in vain for a hard work!"
