Chapter 88: Not Going Smoothly
"Village Chief, this time we were ordered to come here to help build Qiguang Mansion, and we don't have any selfish intentions."
"The reason why I was able to find you is because I think you are actually in a good location, and there is a great opportunity for development."
"It's a shame to waste it like this. As imperial merchants, we should serve the people of Limin, don't you say? ”
The village chief couldn't help but be a little moved when he heard what Lu Chiye said.
After hesitating for a moment, he asked the villagers a question that they were most concerned about.
"I could have helped persuade the villagers, but they couldn't sell what they had. Every household doesn't have much money, and I'm afraid I won't be able to get the money for a while. ”
"It's okay, village chief, I have a solution."
Before coming, Lu Chiye had already thought of the follow-up solution.
Seeing the village chief's hesitant appearance, he hurriedly comforted him.
"I also know that this is the first time to do business with the people in the neighborhood, and they should be hesitant."
"But the village chief, please rest assured, I will bring someone with my brother later, if there are villagers nearby who are willing to sell us something, we will pay them on the spot, and deliver the goods with the other, giving them the greatest benefit."
"There's no way to go wrong. How is it? When the time comes, with you by the side of the village chief as a witness, we will not have any chance to deceive them. ”
Shen Fengxing listened, and also followed the helper, looking at the village chief seriously.
"Since the village chief thinks about the people in this neighborhood everywhere, then they should also know that the village chief is indeed a good person."
"Why don't you try it with my brother first, and if you feel that something is wrong then, you can stop us immediately, how about it?"
The village chief thought that for so many years, because Qiguang Mansion was not developed enough, even if the villagers had a lot of vegetables, fruits, poultry and livestock, etc., but because they couldn't sell them, they couldn't eat them all at home.
That's a waste.
Gritting his teeth, considering the situation of the villagers in the village, he could only agree.
"Okay, then I'll take you to meet the villagers first, if anyone is willing to sell something to you, I'll watch from the sidelines, so it's okay, right?"
"Okay, then thank you to the village chief for making it complete, please lead the way." Lu Chiye agreed.
The village chief nodded, and quickly took them to the nearest villagers' homes to his house.
Then he rang the gong and called all the villagers who were still at home at this time to the two of them.
Afterwards, Lu Chiye stood on top of a large bluestone slab and told them about the things they had come to these villagers to buy.
However, these villagers are different from the village chief, they don't know a few big characters, and their brains are even more tendons.
Hearing that Lu Chiye was going to partner with them to do business and transport their things here, he didn't believe that what he said could succeed.
After listening, they blamed him one by one below, with disdain on their faces.
Even the village chief was complained, "Village chief, how can you still bring this kind of magic stick to our village?" Wasn't it bad enough that we were trapped by those strangers before? ”
"That is, why do you trust him so easily without our consent? Anyway, we will never give this kind of scammer a chance! ”
"That's right! I don't know how much time it took to get what we worked so hard to come up with, so why should we let these people make money on us? No way! There's no way I'm going to sell him anyway! ”
Listening to what those ignorant villagers said, Shen Fengxing was a little entangled in his heart.
Sure enough, what my brother said before was indeed true, the people in this place are really too bad to use.
I don't even know how to cherish the opportunity to give them the opportunity to send them to the door, no wonder they will become poorer and poorer.
There were also a few people who looked like scoundrels watching from the side.
Seeing that Lu Chiye was dressed like a young master from a rich family, he couldn't help but feel very jealous.
deliberately brought rhythm at this time, looking at him with a weird yin and yang.
"Big guy, don't be deceived by this little white face! This person, just like the businessmen who came from other places and deceived us before, looking at the brocade clothes and jade food, in fact, that heart has long been black! ”
"If you came here today, you must have come here to deceive us about the things here, so you should drive them away!"
When did Shen Fengxing suffer such a grievance, even when he went to them with his brother to buy medicinal materials before, he felt that the local people were quite simple.
As long as you pay the money in one hand and deliver the goods in the other, where will you encounter such a problem?
Listening to it, even I was so angry that I clenched my fists tightly.
However, just as he was about to say something, he was stopped by Lu Chiye.
After the villagers, including those scoundrels, excitedly finished all the nonsense, they looked at them calmly.
"Are you done? If so, I should be able to listen to the way I plan to work with you, right? ”
"What kind of cooperation? It's clear that you're here to cheat money! Get out, we don't want to see people like you here, get out! ”
After speaking, the hooligan with dripping eyes stood up and glared at Lu Chiye viciously.
"I came here today, but with the permission of the village chief, which onion are you? If you alone said something that affected the harvest of the people in this neighborhood, you would have become a sinner for the ages, and you could not afford the wrath of so many villagers? ”
Before the thug came over, Lu Chiye immediately broke a thicker branch from the tree and looked at him indifferently.
It wasn't until the gangster was stunned that he said loudly to the villagers in front of him.
Try to explain to them in simple language, "I came to discuss cooperation with you today, not so that you can take the initiative to send me the goods and then sell them to you. ”
"Instead, you send the goods that are piled up in your hands to me, and I will give you a fair price according to the quality of the goods and buy them on the spot."
"In front of the village chief, how about handing over the money with one hand and delivering the goods with the other?"
When he came, Lu Chiye had already taken into account the things that these villagers were most worried about.
Isn't it just that after you pull their goods away, you will sell them immediately, and you won't settle the money with them in the future?
What the family had worked so hard to get was completely in vain.
Therefore, he took the first step and blocked the words of those villagers.
I think they have already been deceived before anyway, and now they will be more cautious.
However, if the village chief is here to witness the situation, if you find that something is wrong when you are doing business with him, you can stop cooperating immediately.
Anyway, he didn't bring pen, ink, paper and inkstone when he came, so he didn't need to sign a contract with these villagers who didn't know how to read, let alone count their breach of contract or something.
Even if he doesn't negotiate with these people in the end, he will lose some money at most, and he won't get too stiff with these villagers anyway.
After listening to what Lu Chiye said, the village chief felt that he was really a person who could be trusted.
And this transaction is extremely beneficial to the villagers.
But he couldn't help but think about what the villagers were worried about, so he could only do it in a hurry.
I want to wait for a villager with a more flexible brain to take the initiative to stand up and make a deal with Lu Chiye.
Those villagers, you look at me, I look at you.
Although they are quite excited about the on-site transaction, they are not sure whether Lu Chiye has enough money on him.
What if they bring something over later, and say that their goods are not of high quality, and desperately reduce the price?
Although they want to make money, it is impossible for them to sell what they have carefully cultivated at a fairly low price, which is really a pity!
Lu Chiye waited quietly for a while, but he didn't see a villager with a bright brain take the initiative to stand up and want to pay with him and deliver the goods with one hand, so he couldn't help but be a little disappointed.
With a long sigh, he looked at the gloomy sky in the distance, and directly left a few words at these villagers.
"Anyway, you can think about it, if you figure it out and plan to talk to me about business, you can go to me."
"My family has opened a store, just on a street in Qiguang Mansion where several willow trees are planted at the door, you can go and inquire about it."
After speaking, he beckoned to Shen Fengxing.
"Let's go, let's go back first, otherwise there will be a long delay on the road, and maybe there will be a heavy rain."
Shen Fengxing hurriedly agreed, followed behind him, and walked towards the outside of the village with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
The village chief looked at these villagers with a tangled look, and couldn't help but hate the iron and shouted at them loudly.
"Why don't you know to cherish such a good opportunity just now?"
"I have already discussed with this Lu Gongzi just now, and I know that he is a businessman who is really good for us!"
"If you had taken out the goods just now, you would have had silver in your hands by now, what's the matter?"
A few elderly people were quite hard-mouthed and looked at the village chief very unhappily.
"How do you know he's not deliberately driving down prices? Could it be that you've already traded with him before? Or did he deliberately find him as a lobbyist? ”
"That's it! You're the head of our village, how can you turn your elbow out? ”
"Village Chief, you weren't like this before, shouldn't you have received any benefits from others? You have to take the benefits and share them with us! ”
A few ruffians walked up to the village chief and licked their faces to ask him for money.
The village chief was furious, picked up two wooden sticks on the ground at random, and slapped them fiercely on the ruffians, cursing loudly.
