Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Hehe, thank you, Brother Lin.

Lets go. Weve seen enough. Lets go out and talk to those villagers.

Okay.

The two of them walked to the grain depot and saw a black Nissan sedan parked not far away. Many people surrounded it.

Standing in the middle of the crowd were two middle-aged men, one old and one young.

One of them was in his forties with a cigarette in his mouth, and the other was in his twenties. Although he was slovenly, he looked much younger.

He was talking to the people from Dongsan County.

The middle-aged mans name was Gao Dexi, and the other young mans name was Yu Mingming.

They were from Sanyang Agricultural Development Co., Ltd. in Yuhang City.

The company had a special department in charge of collecting food. Gao Dexi was one of the employees, and Yu Ming was his subordinate.

Looks like the grain collectors are here.

Lets go over and see whats going on.

The two of them went over and realized that Gao Dexi was surrounded and was talking to the people from Dongsan County.

Youre finally here. Ive been waiting for you all morning.

Has the price been agreed? Weve already rejected many people and kept it for you. You have to give us a good price.

The people from Dongsan County looked at each other and chattered away. The scene was chaotic, and Lin Yi couldnt hear what they were saying.

Stop, stop, stop. Everyone, calm down. Gao Dexi said.

I went back and applied to the company. The price of corn will be 1,900 per ton. The price of soybeans will be 4,700 per ton. This price should be fine.

All? The price is only ten yuan higher per ton than others.

Be content, our company didnt show much interest in the grain from Dongsan County. This price is already quitegood.

The people from Dongsan County were a bit conflicted. They had waited for so long, and the price hadnt increased by much. This wasnt very satisfactory.

Moreover, after so many days, a lot of the food had dried up. He still had to bear the final price difference. In other words, they might even end up losing money.

Lin Yi compared this to the price Liang Ruoxu offered him. The difference in the price of corn was 700 per ton, and difference for soybeans was 1,190 per ton.

This was a significant gap.

Taking into account the cost of farming, if they sold it just like that, they probably wouldnt make much money.

What a scam.

Think about it. Gao Dexi said.

The price of food now is only temporary. If you dont agree today, you might not get this price tomorrow. When the price of food drops in a few days, dont blame me for not reminding you.

Cant it go any higher?

Dont even think about raising the price. Id be pleased if the price doesnt drop. Gao Dexi extinguished the cigarette b.u.t.t.

The people of Dongsan County began to discuss among themselves.

They all wanted to sell it at a high price, but the other party only offered this amount. There seemed to be no room for negotiation.

If later, the price dropped again, they would suffer a huge loss.

Moreover, such a thing had happened before. They might really end up suffering for their greed greedy.

Sijin, what do you think of this price?

Its nothing special. Li Sijin said.

Its too low. It barely leaves any profit for the farmers.

Lin Yi nodded and looked at the villages.

Alright, everyone, dont be conflicted. Ill give you a price. Ill get someone to collect the food.

Lin Yis words attracted the attention of everyone present.

They felt that this person looked a little familiar, but they couldnt remember his name.

Seeing Lin Yi suddenly stand up, Gao Dexi and Yu Mingming subconsciously looked at him.

Unexpectedly, someone suddenly jumped out to disrupt the situation.

Young man, how much are you offering? Someone asked.

The price of corn will be 2,600 per ton. The price of soybeans will be 5,890 per ton. This price should be fine.

Huh?

Hearing this number, Li Sijin was stunned.

This was an astronomical price!

Not to mention Dongsan County, even in the northeast, it was impossible to get such a high price.

Li Sijin wasnt the only one who was stunned. The people from Dongsan County, Gao Dexi, and Yu Mingming were all stunned.

Young man, what nonsense are you talking about? 2,600 per ton of of corn and 5,890 per ton of soybeans?

You have to watch what you say.

Do you think Im spouting nonsense?

Id believe you if you raised it 180 yuan a ton, Gao Dexi said.

But now, you are increasing the price for corn by 700 and the price of soybeans by more than 1,000. If thats not a joke, what is?

What are you talking about? If you cant afford a high price, why cant you let others buy it?

Its impossible that you are genuinely offering this.

Well, that has nothing to do with you, right?

With that, Lin Yi looked at the people from Dongsan County. The price has been set. Does anyone have any questions?

Can you really give us such a high price?

The people from Dongsan County were also a little uncertain because this price was too high. In their opinion, it was even a little ridiculous.

They had never dreamed of such a beautiful thing.

I can.

Are you sure youre not lying?

Why would 1 bother lying to you? Lin Yi said.

If you agree, well send over the trucks tomorrow to collect the food. Itll only take a day. We wont wait until it expires.

Alright, alright, alright. Were willing to sell it. Well wait for you here tomorrow.

Then its settled.

With that, Lin Yi called Li Sijin and got into the car to leave.

After the crop sales was resolved, the villagers did not want to waste any more time here. All of them were in high spirits and even went to the county to drink.

Hey, hey, hey, why are you guys leaving? Gao Dexi called out. Were not done talking yet.

The price they offered is higher than yours. I cant sell it to you.

You people are really short-sighted, Gao Dexi said.

Why dont you think about it? When has the price of corn and soybeans ever been so high? There must be something fishy happening for them to offer you such a high price!

Well

The villagers stopped in their tracks. Gao Dexi poured a basin of cold water on them, calming them down.

They were also a little puzzled as to why they would get such a high price for their grain.

They were all people who had lived a good number of years, and they didnt believe in good things falling from the sky.

Then what do you mean?

Is there a need to ask? Hes obviously lying to you. Gao Dexi said.

If I used a high price to fool you, I might not give you any money after I collect the food.

Thats impossible.

Why not? Gao Dexi said.

People nowadays are all so evil. If its not to cheat you of your money, why would he offer such a high price? Is there something wrong with your brain? Do you have money but nowhere to spend it?

Well

The villagers stopped talking. What Gao Dexi said made sense.

There had been stories of people who could not resist temptation and were cheated of their money.

How about this? 111 go back and apply for my offer to increase by 40 yuan per ton of corn and 90 yuan per ton of soybeans.

If you think the price is alright, come here at five oclock tomorrow morning. Ill start collecting the grain then..
