Ten days have passed in a blink of an eye, and the time has come to the Lantern Festival.

Mr. Chen of Mazhu Town hired a Yue Opera troupe from Shengxian County, and from the day before the Lantern Festival, he would sing opera for ten days in a row, attracting all the villagers from nearby towns to come to Mazhu to watch the play.

All of a sudden, Mazhu Town became the most lively place in Yuyao.

Because of the excitement, more than a dozen grain merchants gathered at Chen's house again, which was not so dazzling.

The drama is singing lively, and the living room of the Chen family is also full of people.

Chen Dasan's hands pressed weakly, signaled a dry grain merchant to be quiet, and then asked his eldest son: "Qi Fan, have you seen clearly?" ”

"My son can see it clearly!" Chen Qifan said firmly, "The Zhao Grain Store in Xiaogang Town, the Qin Grain Store in Camel Town, the Lin Grain Store in Zhuangshi Town, and the Xiaojia Rice Store in Shiqi Town have all closed!" ”

Chen Dasan was still a little worried, and asked again: "Will there be fraud?" Have you inquired deeply? ”

"Dad, just relax, my son has already inquired clearly!" Chen Qifan said firmly, "The four families of Zhao, Qin, Lin and Xiao are indeed out of food, and they are all sold out!" ”

Chen Dasan said: "Where did you get the news?" ”

Chen Qifan said: "My son bought off a guy from Zhao's grain store, and that guy has been working in Zhao's grain store for 20 years, and he knows the details of Zhao's grain store well. ”

Chen Dasan's eyes turned to the grain merchants present, and said with a smile: "Have you all heard clearly? ”

More than a dozen grain merchants present nodded in unison, and Chen Dasan said again: "The Xiaogang Zhao family, the camel Qin family, the Zhuangshi Lin family and the Shiqi Xiao family have no food, looking at Yinjiang, except for us, no one has food in their hands, although it is inevitable that the four of them will also earn some money, but our grain hegemony has been done after all!" ”

As soon as Chen Dasan's words fell, the grain merchants present immediately cheered.

"Great, the food hegemony has finally been made."

"No, you can make a lot of money now."

"It's not in vain that we gambled our lives, but it can be regarded as a success!"

"Niang Xipi, in the past half a month, I haven't been able to sleep all night, but tonight, Lao Tzu can sleep beautifully!"

"Shopkeeper Wang, I'm afraid I still won't be able to sleep, right?"

"That is to say, your third aunt can spare you too much?"

"Hahaha." There was a burst of laughter in the living room.

After a pause, Shopkeeper Wang suddenly remembered something again, and immediately said to Chen Dasan: "Old Man Chen, do you have to think about something?" ”

Chen Dasan took a puff of dry tobacco and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Shopkeeper Wang said: "The usury we borrowed from Zhao Qin, Lin and Xiao is about to expire. ”

As soon as they heard this, the expressions on the faces of the more than a dozen grain merchants who were still celebrating just now immediately collapsed.

yes, how did you forget about this stubble? They still owe more than two million usury to the four banks!

Moreover, more than 2 million loan sharks are still borrowed at a monthly interest rate of four corners, even if it only exceeds the half-month period for one day, they will have to pay half a month's interest more, which is more than 400,000 yuan in cash!

After a pause, the shopkeeper Wang said again: "There are only five days left before the half-month deadline, where can we raise money?" ”

The other dozen or so grain merchants chimed in: "Yes, in just five days, where can we go to raise more than 2.4 million yuan in the ocean?" If this exceeds the time limit, even if it is only for one day, it will pay more than 400,000 yuan of cash and ocean! ”

"I'm afraid it's not the worst of all." Shopkeeper Wang said, "We are now eating a stomach full of grain, as long as some of these grains are sold, it is enough to repay the loan sharks, but the problem, it takes time to sell grain, and we can't sell such a large amount of grain in a short period of time, what can we do?" ”

More than a dozen grains brushed together and turned their eyes to Chen Dasan.

When he lobbied everyone to borrow usury to eat food, Chen Dasan said that he had a way.

Facing the anxious eyes of the grain merchants, Chen Dasan put down the dry tobacco pipe in his hand unhurriedly, and said: "Don't worry, I have already thought of a countermeasure for this matter." ”

The shopkeeper immediately arched his hand and said, "I would like to hear about it." ”

Chen Dasan said lightly: "Some time ago, didn't the person surnamed Zhong hold a commercial land auction? Moreover, it sold quite well, selling for 50 million! ”

Hearing this, the eyes of the grain merchants present suddenly lit up.

Chen Dasan smiled and said, "Take out these 50 million, which is almost enough to buy the food in our hands." ”

Hearing this, the eyes of the dozen or so grain merchants present showed a hungry wolf-like gaze, fifty million! That's 50 million!

Even if the Chen family is allowed to take the lion's share, there are more than a dozen of them, and each family can share at least more than three million fiat currency!

Although the current fiat currency has been seriously depreciated, more than 3 million fiat currency is still a large amount!

It's just that it's not that no one keeps calm, for example, the shopkeeper Wang is very sober.

"But......" said the shopkeeper Wang, frowning, "how can you let the surnamed Zhong take out the money to buy grain?" ”

"This matter has to fall on the provincial officials." Chen Dasan said, "Commander Jing of the 194th Division has already greeted the provincial officials through his upper peak, and after the Lantern Festival, the province will issue an official letter to the Yinjiang Municipal Government, asking the Yinjiang Municipal Government to come forward to solve the problem of food shortage in the market!" ”

After a pause at this point, Chen Dasan said again: "There has been no grain to sell in the Yinjiang market for a long time, and it is not a matter after all, and it will still fall on the Yinjiang Municipal Government to solve the problem." ”

"Let the province give orders?" The shopkeeper said, "Wonderful, this trick is wonderful!" ”

The other dozen or so grain merchants also echoed one after another, and this method is indeed excellent.

Chen Dasan smiled, and then said: "At that time, under the pressure of the province, the Yinjiang Municipal Government must come up with real money to buy grain from our families, so as to stabilize the price of grain!" Therefore, in the past few days, it is still necessary to let the price of grain soar again, pushing the price to five jiao per catty! ”

After a pause, Chen Dasan said with a sneer: "When the time comes, when Zhong Yi comes forward, we will sell the stored grain in our hands to the Yinjiang Municipal Government at half price, and we will make such a big concession, which can be regarded as an explanation to Yinjiang's fathers." ”

"Ah yes, yes, yes." Shopkeeper Wang smiled, "Anyway, we are all disciplined businessmen, and it is our duty to benefit the township, hehe, hehe." ”

The rest of the dozen or so grain merchants also laughed.

This feeling of being a good person while making money is really cool!

In the future, if you can come to a wave of food hegemony every year, it will also be excellent!
