The fate was changed, the mistress of the Hou family was slapped in the face and made money to win

"30%?" Shopkeeper Chen frowned instantly. "Master Liu, you are asking for too much. If we raise the price by 30%, won't we be losing money just to gain publicity?"

The profit margin of grain is not high to begin with, and the cost has suddenly increased by 30%, which is absolutely unacceptable.

"Manager Chen, there's no need to exaggerate. Although our Liu family doesn't run a rice shop, we naturally know a little about the market conditions of the rice from this farm. Even if you raise the price by 30%, you won't lose money. At most, you won't make much profit."

"There is no profit, so why should Ning Yu Zhuang do unprofitable business?" Jiang Suining said calmly, "Rather than doing this, it is better to just close the shop, saving manpower and effort."

"Miss Jiang, under normal circumstances, you could close down your business, or even refuse the rice from my farm, and slowly find another way. But what is the situation now? I don't need to explain it to you. So many wealthy families are waiting for you to deliver rice on time and in the right amount. With your current stock of grain, it won't last until next month. Losing business is a small matter, but losing credibility is a big deal."

Liu Li smiled proudly. Before coming here, he had already found out the situation clearly. Now Ning Yu Manor had already added firewood and water, and was just waiting for the rice to be cooked.

Shopkeeper Chen's face turned pale. It was all his fault that he acted on his own and did not set aside enough food as the young lady had wished. As a result, even if he wanted to find a new seller now, it was too late.

Jiang Suining's expression remained unchanged. "Master Liu, are you so sure that we have no other means except the food from your farm?"

"Now is not the season for harvesting new rice. The rice in the hands of the grain farmers has already been sold out. As for farms of the size of our Liu family, even if there is grain in stock, most of them have already signed contracts with rice shops and are waiting for monthly supplies. It is impossible to sell it to others in the middle of the year."

Liu Li paused, leaned back in his chair, and looked at Jiang Suining with a smile.

"Of course, if Miss Jiang is wealthy, she can also go to those rice shops to buy food to temporarily tide over the crisis and then think of a solution. However, in this case, it is not only that there is no profit, but it is actually a loss. Moreover, if this news spreads, I am afraid that your Ningyu Manor will be laughed at to death, and it is very likely that you will not be able to do business in the future."

There was undisguised pride in Liu Li's tone.

Jiang Suining frowned, and after a moment he spoke: "Mr. Liu is right. At present, it seems that Ning Yuzhuang really has no other choice."

Youyou sighed, and finally picked up the tea beside her and took a sip, "Master Liu, please have someone prepare the rice."

Liu Li's eyes sparkled, "Then the price..."

"Now that we've come to this point, what else can I say about the price?"

"Great! Miss Jiang is really straightforward!" Liu Li was delighted. Jiang Suining was indeed too naive. "Miss Jiang, there is one more thing. I am afraid that our business will not be able to continue after this. As for the rice, we cannot only provide one month's supply."

"So what does Mr. Liu mean?"

"I will sell you all the rice in my farm's warehouse this time."

"Liu Li, don't go too far!" Shopkeeper Chen couldn't bear it anymore and raised the price by 30%. If they just bought one month's supply to solve the urgent problem and then looked for other supplies, it would be fine. However, Liu Li actually wanted to sell all the rice to them at this price. This was simply taking advantage of the situation!

"Don't be angry, Manager Chen. Miss Jiang is sitting here. It's better to let Miss Jiang make the decision. But let me be frank. If you only want to buy for one month, then we should not discuss this deal. You can go back now."

Liu Li paused for a moment and spoke with a smile on his face.

"Just a kind reminder, although this place is not far from the Imperial City, it seems to be a little uneasy recently. Some people have encountered bandits along the way. If you want to go back, you'd better hurry up."

Shopkeeper Chen choked when he heard the tone, and subconsciously looked at Jiang Suining. The young lady shouldn't make such an excessive request...

"Okay, I can buy them all."

"Miss..." Shopkeeper Chen was stunned and wanted to persuade her, but Jiang Suining waved his hand.

"Needless to say, since we have no other choice now, we should just consider it as bad luck. Just consider it as a lesson learned."

"Miss Jiang is truly generous. You can tell at first glance that she is someone who can do great things." Liu Li praised her, but he was almost laughing like crazy in his heart.

He originally thought that there would be some intense bargaining, but he didn't expect that Jiang Suining would be so easy to control!

"But I also have a condition." Jiang Suining put down the teacup, "I want the goods to be delivered within three days."

"Three days?" Liu Li frowned. "That's impossible. Some of the rice has not yet been husked."

"It doesn't matter." Jiang Suining shook his head. "You're right. I really don't want Ning Yuzhuang to break its promise. I have to bear this loss, but I really can't continue to trust Mr. Liu. I want to get the rice as soon as possible. As for husking... Since I have already considered myself unlucky, I don't mind spending a little more money on husking the rice later."

Liu Li almost couldn't stop laughing. It really was God helping him to meet Jiang Suining, a rich and impulsive man.

"Okay, since Miss Jiang has no objection, then I have no problem with that either!"

"We will come to pick up the goods in three days." Jiang Suining stood up and was about to leave.

"Wait." Liu Li stopped her, "Miss Jiang, we haven't signed the contract yet."

"Contract?" Jiang Suining laughed sarcastically. "To Boss Liu, the contract is just a piece of waste paper. It doesn't matter whether it is signed or not. Three days later, one hand will pay the money and the other hand will pay the rice. From now on, no matter what business Ningyu Manor or the Jiang family has, it will have nothing to do with Master Liu."

After saying this, Jiang Suining left with a cold face.

Liu Li did not chase after him. After all, it would be strange if the other party was happy after being tricked by him.

As for the contract, what Jiang Suining said was right. There would be no cooperation in the future anyway. As long as the money was paid and the goods were delivered, nothing would go wrong. It didn't matter whether they signed it or not.

After leaving the farmhouse, Jiang Suining walked all the way to where the carriage was parked before stopping.

"Miss, I'm sorry." Shopkeeper Chen felt extremely guilty. "If I hadn't acted on my own initiative, Liu Li wouldn't have taken advantage of the situation and robbed me like this."

"Things have already come to this. There's no point in saying these things now. But don't you notice the problem?" Jiang Suining looked at Shopkeeper Chen.

"Miss, what are you talking about?"

"Liu Li is very familiar with the current situation of Ningyu Village. He even knows clearly that the stored grain can't last until next month."

Shopkeeper Chen thought for a moment and said, "After all, the bulk of our rice is supplied by Liu's farm, so it's normal that he can figure it out."

"It's not surprising that he knows how much grain we have, but how did he know how many wealthy families have reserved rice? After all, the situation of those families is not something he can just find out."

Shopkeeper Chen was stunned. That's right, he was in a hurry and confused, and actually overlooked this.

Ning Yu Zhuang has never publicized how much business it has. Although it is not surprising that everyone knows something, the specific circumstances may not be clear even to its peers.

If the order quantity cannot be confirmed, then how did Liu Li say so confidently just now that they would not be able to survive until next month?

"Miss, could it be that someone in the shop has been bribed?" Shopkeeper Chen's face changed.

"You can investigate this matter. As for the matter of the farm..."

Jiang Suining turned his head and looked back in the direction of the farmhouse, the coldness in his expression had disappeared.

"I'll take care of it myself."
