Twenty miles southeast of the city, there are dozens of ships moored on the Weishui River, which are traced up from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, all the way day and night through the territory of Wuhu County to Chaohu Lake in the north, and then through the Weishui River to the northwest to the south of the city wharf.

There are ready-made trucks on the wharf that specialize in helping people transport goods, and at this moment, several big shopkeepers have already disembarked from the ship, sitting around the makeshift tent and waiting for Su Jin's news.

Su Jin arrived at the dock and exchanged pleasantries with several big shopkeepers, and Su Jin asked, "How many stones did you buy?" ”

The shopkeeper said with a smile: "One stone is 650 yuan, and 50,000 yuan can buy a total of more than 80,000 stones of good rice, and twenty-six boats are fully loaded." ”

Su Jinxi said: "Very good, how is the drought situation in the south?" ”

Shopkeeper Hou lowered his voice and said: "I spent three days visiting several state capitals, and sure enough, the drought is like fire, and this year's output reduction is certain." ”

Su Jin frowned, and sighed: "Hey, the drought is like fire or the people are suffering, but we don't have a good plan for the people, and God can't manage it." ”

The three shopkeepers rolled their eyes in unison, this guy said a little bit about things, he looked worried about the country and the people, but in fact, he couldn't tell how happy he was in his heart.

In fact, they only guessed a small part, Su Jin was a little happy, because the severe drought showed that he had taken the right step, but to say that he hoped that the drought would be more serious, that was to wronged people, Su Jin even thought about it, if the time comes, if the people are hungry again, they will set up a porridge shed to give them a while, not exactly a good name, but also a good deed that Su Jin wants to do in his heart.

"Shao Dongjia, do you see whether it will be carried at dawn or transported away now, I mean that we will unload the ship at dawn, and at this time it will be dark and blind, and I am afraid that something will go wrong." The shopkeeper asked.

Su Jin groaned: "How is the car dealership contacted? ”

"The wagons on the wharf are ready-made, but they don't stop all night, and fifty big ox carts can be gathered in half an hour."

Su Jin said: "Then it will be transported away by night, this matter is not suitable for swaggering, there are many people on the dock during the day, the mouth and eyes are mixed, and it is not good to pass around, so I immediately ordered the car dealer to assemble the ox cart and prepare to unload the ship." ”

The three of them agreed in unison, and went separately to arrange all kinds of matters, and there were often night boats on the wharf, and the men of the car dealer were also commonplace, and they were already lying in the straw hut in their clothes, and when they heard that the work was coming, they quickly gathered together; Dozens of wind lanterns were hung high on the wharf, illuminating a piece of snow, and the grain ships slowly docked in order, set up a widened springboard, and bags of grain were continuously loaded onto ox carts and transported to Luxi Manor.

More than 50 ox carts transported back and forth six times before all the more than 20 boats were emptied, and the dozen or so warehouses that were waiting in the empty warehouse were gradually filled with bags of grain.

After settling the fares, Su Jin looked at the dozen shopkeepers and guys around him, all of them were pale, their legs were fluttering, and they were tired enough.

The three big shopkeepers are old, and this time is even more choking, Su Jin hurriedly instructed Xiaozhu to drive the three to go back to bathe and rest first, and make an appointment to come to Su's house in the evening to talk about things, these old shopkeepers can't fall, they are young and vigorous and didn't notice the bodies of several old shopkeepers, they really shouldn't, according to such a desperate posture, within three nights, several old shopkeepers all have to put their lives on the line.

After cleaning up, Su Jin returned to the city in the morning dew, returned to the house to bathe and fell asleep.

This sleep until the end of the hour, the sun is west, then stretch out the waist up, sleep for four hours, simply get some food, fill the stomach, the front Su Fu has come to report, cloth Zhuang Zhang big shopkeeper, garment shop Zhao big shopkeeper, grain and oil store Hou, Hu, Ma, Min four shopkeepers have all come to the side hall to wait for the young owner.

Su Jin was a little surprised, several old shopkeepers did not take a break for a while regardless of hard work, and came together, and the conscientious attitude made Su Jin very moved, a fence with three piles, a hero with three gangs, no matter how big his ability is, there is no high efficiency and success rate of teamwork.

Su Jin hurriedly instructed the kitchen to quickly prepare a sumptuous banquet and put it on the table, and the old shopkeepers must not have eaten seriously, so they dressed up and went to the side hall.

The atmosphere in the side hall was extremely warm, several old shopkeepers were talking, Su Jin crossed the door and entered, and the old shopkeepers stood up one after another to give a salute.

Su Jin respectfully made a long gesture, and pointed at the tall and big fingers of several shopkeepers: "Jiang is still old and spicy, such a large transaction is cumbersome, and a few old shopkeepers will get it properly in ten days. ”

The shopkeepers were very happy in their hearts, and they all said humbly: "The young owner praises it, we old bones are just doing our part, and this is all the work of the young owner's strategy." ”

Su Jin laughed and said: "Our family doesn't say these polite words, it's all a concerted effort, a radish and a pit, no one can do it." ”

The shopkeepers also laughed, and after chatting a few words, they suddenly smelled the aroma, which immediately caused several old shopkeepers to gurt and scream in their stomachs, and the maids sent the wine and food, and the sumptuous wine and food were placed on the table.

The shopkeeper Hu said with a smile: "The old man knows that the young owner will not let us go hungry, and when I come, the old woman of my family insists that I eat a few pieces of pastry before leaving, so I will return to her: If you want to eat, you have to go to the young owner's house to eat, and the young owner will never be hungry for my old bones." ”

The shopkeeper smiled: "You old man can calculate, come hungry to eat, this is cheap?" ”

Shopkeeper Hu said disdainfully: "Don't talk about me, the gurgling sound in your stomach is like thunder, I'm afraid it's not much better than me." ”

Everyone laughed, pointing and teasing each other, Su Jin smiled: "Then what are you waiting for?" Let's eat, each person will have a large ball of glutinous wood meatballs first, one ball is three taels, and two are kept in place; If others want to eat, I'm afraid I won't give a fish bone, and if you want to eat, it's too late for me to be flattered, and it's best to eat until I'm a hundred years old. ”

Under the leadership of Su Jin, a few people chewed for a while, until their stomachs were a little full, and then they all sighed with satisfaction.

Su Jin put down the cup and said: "This time, Su Ji poured almost all of his savings to hoard more than 15,000 pieces of cloth of various colors and more than 80,000 stones of grain, which can be described as a sufficient supply; In fact, I am also worried in my heart, after all, the time to take over the Su family industry is still short, and I know little about some of the traps and risks in the shopping mall, and I need to be cautious about the future trend. ”

Zhang Rongqin said: "It is rare for the young owner to understand the difficulties, originally the old man was worried that the young owner was overconfident and even misjudged the situation, but the young owner's words made the old man feel a lot more relieved. ”

Su Jin said: "Without your support, Su Jin would not dare to make a major decision categorically, but in terms of the general law of business, this time it should not be missed, what I am worried about is that the Su family's power is meager, and the Chamber of Commerce will get the news sooner or later, if they also hoard, the space for profit in the future will be much smaller." ”

The shopkeeper said when he heard this: "This thing is a bit of a saying, I am waiting for this large number of purchases is indeed a huge risk, but Jiangsu and Zhejiang are not our family to purchase, as far as we know, the secret procurement of Hebei Zhulu and Jingdong Road have merchants in a large number of purchases of grain and cotton cloth, this time if it is not for Su Ji's old customers to talk about Xinyi, the foundation laid by the previous owner is still there, and Mrs. has never neglected those people over the years, I'm afraid things are not so smooth." ”

Su Jin was shocked: "Oh? Is there anything else going on? ”

Hou shopkeeper Hu shopkeeper and others all nodded, Hu shopkeeper preemptively said: "I will wait to go, the price of grain in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is only 500 Wen 1 stone, but then it changes day by day, when I leave, the price of grain has risen to 920 Wen 1 stone, almost the consistent price of one stone, fortunately Hou shopkeeper started quickly, directly from 61 stone to start the purchase, the first six days set 50,000 stone grain, and then although the price rose, with the rising trend still full of 30,000 stone, the balance is only 650 Wen 1 stone, otherwise this time I am afraid that it will be less than nearly 10,000 stone grain. ”

Su Jin's heart was agitated, he didn't expect the businessman's sense of smell to be so fast, and some people noticed that the price of grain and cotton would rise next year, causing the purchase price on the market to soar.
