Chapter 137 I thought doing business was quite easy

When Jiang Li heard about the money, he immediately waved his hand.

"You make it sound as if I came here just to ask you for money."

"How do you say this? Even if someone you don't know dies, what's the matter if I give him some money to help him? My three-generation family fortune is just a drop in the bucket."

The middle-aged man spoke impassionedly, as if he really thought so.

Jiang Li nodded.

"Then Boss Liu has to worry about it. But..."

"Please tell me."

"Actually, the bandits didn't let me take Boss Wu's body down. It's the tomb."

"What about the tomb? I'll take care of the money."

When Wu Xiaoman heard this, she remembered some of the things Jiang Li had told her before, and said it again at this time.

"No, boss, if the matter is in vain, won't the government know that Boss Wu is dead? Then they will definitely investigate the cause of death."

"That's right."

Jiang Li said and looked at the middle-aged man again. The middle-aged and young people looked at each other, looking panicked.

So Jiang Li stood up and said to the middle-aged man.

"Boss Liu, if you don't do nothing, the money won't be used. Let's leave first."

"Please stay. If you don't do anything for nothing, just think of it as a pension for Boss Wu's family."

"No, I'll give it to you."

Jiang Li said and left with Wu Xiaoman without looking back.

After walking out, Jiang Li heard Wu Xiaoman ask him in confusion.

"Military advisor, didn't you say before that you wanted me to take some time to talk about the possibility that they might be arrested if something went wrong? Why didn't you ask for money instead? Did I say something wrong?"

"No, everything is going according to plan."

"plan?"

"Yeah. I'm just saying hello, but what if they see through it?"

Jiang Li smiled, as if his conspiracy had succeeded.

Then, she asked Wu Xiaoman again.

"I didn't have time to ask them just now, who are those two people in the room?"

"The middle-aged man's name is Liu Youcai, and he is the current owner of Liu's grain store. The young man's name is Liu Kang'an, and he is Liu Youcai's only son. He has started to manage the family business, but it is not time to take over yet."

"That's it..."

On the other side, Liu Youcai was talking to Liu Kangan.

"Immediately... forget it, you... send a few people to follow that boss. I have to figure out what she wants to do."

"How about asking the bandit?"

"Are you stupid? If this is a trap, as soon as we go up the mountain, the officials will come over. Wouldn't that mean we have fallen into a trap?"

"But what if Boss Wu is not dead?"

"What kind of virtue are those bandits? They eat meat but don't spit out bones. Boss Wu is probably really dead."

Liu Youcai sighed. He only wants money and doesn't want to hurt people's lives.

But now that he is injured, it cannot affect his business.

Liu Kangan was also wondering.

"The woman just mentioned something innocent, and I thought she was taking the opportunity to blackmail her. But why did she suddenly leave again?"

"I can't understand it either. I can't. Is it really just a literal meaning?"

"Just to say that Boss Wu is dead?"

"...No matter what, she now has something against us. Whether she uses it or not is one thing, but this person must be eliminated. When I have time, I will think about how to set a trap for the bandits and let the city lord take over the mountain. The thieves will be wiped out. Only then can we bankrupt that grain store, lest they jump over the wall and bite us."

After Liu Youcai finished speaking, Liu Kangan went out.

When Jiang Li returned to the grain store, he only saw a few scattered people buying grain here, and they didn't want much.

Jiang Li asked the guys.

"How's business today?"

"It's Sishi now, and not a single stone of food has been sold."

"Well... let's just tidy up the shop today."

Jiang Li said something so heroic and ambitious, and then sat there without saying anything for an hour.

The others were still waiting for Jiang Li to come up with some wonderful ideas, but after waiting for a long time, they decided to sell food normally.

Wu Xiaoman had been looking there for a long time and came over to ask.

"Military advisor, haven't you figured it out yet? It's almost noon."

"It's already embarrassing for me to think about it for so long. It would be even more embarrassing if I couldn't figure it out."

"Would you like the military advisor to tell me what you think? I will also help the military advisor think about it."

Jiang Li looked at Wu Xiaoman and thought that Boss Shi also listened to what everyone said at that time and then chose the most suitable plan.

So, she began to tell Wu Xiaoman her plan.

"At first I wanted to put more effort into the display of the shop, but then I thought, we are not those people who sell gold and silver jewelry, so there is no need to go shopping. People only need to look at the things placed at the door. "

"Well, we really don't need it."

"Then I thought about whether to cooperate with some big restaurants or workers and other places, and send them rice and noodles every day. But the Liu family must have done this method before."

"Every major restaurant and every wealthy family in the city all use food from the Liu family."

"I've also thought about it. Otherwise, we can deliver food to the doorsteps of civilians every day, so that they don't have to work so hard to go to the streets to buy food. It should be good."

"This seems to work indeed. Our labor costs will not increase because of this, and we can even deliver it ourselves."

"Really?"

Jiang Li was a little surprised. She originally thought that this was not possible. After all, it would be too tiring. Express delivery has merit in our own world because of the convenience of the Internet and the trustworthy platform to manage money.

But it’s just food, so that should be fine, right?

She thought so in her heart.

So, in the next three days, Qingfeng Grain Store began a three-day loss-making business.

All the food is sold at half price, which is already a loss. With such a scale, the Liu family couldn't figure out what was going on for a while, and they didn't dare to imitate it rashly.

After sending someone to look at it, they discovered that it was limited. Not only is it limited per person, but it is also limited per day.

There was also a note put in each bag of rice, and people sent by the Liu family also brought it.

"Are you still worried about the fatigue of going to the streets every day? Are you envious of the convenience of door-to-door delivery to those wealthy families? Qingfeng Grain Store will allow you to enjoy the same service. As long as you are a person from Fuhu City, you can enjoy the convenience of door-to-door delivery at Qingfeng Grain Store. After the day's activities, put a sign at your door before midnight and write down the amount of food you want the next day. We will deliver it to your door before you open the door and collect the fee before noon. Welcome to try."

Liu Youcai couldn't help but smile after listening to his servant read these things. Liu Kangan on the other side came over to ask.

"Dad, what is she trying to do? Isn't she going to the pole to lose money?"

"She set her sights on civilians. However, within ten days, she would still fail."

"why?"

"You are the one who will take over the grain store in the future, think about it yourself."

After three days of activities, Jiang Li took action.

As soon as midnight passed, she put on her night clothes and ran around the city, looking for every house with a wooden sign at the door. But the number was smaller than she imagined, only six families, including the Liu family.

She counted the people in the city who didn't know how to read, and the people who didn't trust this method, but she didn't expect there to be so few. After all, there were a thousand households in the city.

After recording what these people wanted on the map she carried with her, she returned to the grain store.

The clerks at the grain store were still playing cards, and they also wanted to see what the new boss was capable of.

After only being out for half an hour, she was already back, which surprised everyone.

one of them asked.

"Boss Jiang, are you so fast?"

"The main reason is that there are few people. I will deliver it by myself today."

Wu Xiaoman took the map and looked at the marks again. Except for the Liu family who asked for two catties, the other five families only wanted one catty.

"It's less than we thought." "Let's give it a try. If the number of people doesn't reach twenty after five days, we'll give up."

After Jiang Li said this, he loaded the grain into the storage space and set off.

Seeing the food disappearing out of thin air, these guys were surprised and wanted to ask Jiang Li, but Jiang Li hurried away and they didn't ask.

After Jiang Li left, they asked Wu Xiaoman.

"Boss Wu, this..."

"As I said, I am shopkeeper Wu now."

"Shopkeeper, what is the background of this new boss?"

"I don't know the specifics, but it's enough for you to know that she is not an ordinary person."

Early the next morning, when the housekeeper of the Liu family came to open the door, he saw the man who had been watching last night holding two kilograms of rice in his hand, and hurriedly went to notify Liu Youcai.

Liu Youcai looked at the two kilograms of rice, smiled, and asked the servant on guard.

"When was this sent?"

"We kept watching yesterday, but we didn't see when the person appeared. He suddenly appeared at the door."

"This is strange... Could it be that it flew here?"

Liu Youcai was very puzzled.

He was not the only one who was confused, but also two of the two families who had bought food last night. These two families were also spectators. They kept watch all night and saw nothing.

At noon, a man came to collect the money. They also asked the man, but the man just smiled and said nothing.

As for the Liu family, Jiang Li and Wu Xiaoman went there in person.

Jiang Li took the money handed over by Liu Youcai.

"Thank you, Boss Liu, for your visit."

"If you don't patronize me, you may not have a chance."

"Even if you are bankrupt and have no money, you can still work with us."

In the past few months, Jiang Li's trash talk has become extremely good.

On the second day, there were already ten people buying grain, on the third day, twenty, and on the fourth day, fifty.

And this was all done by Jiang Li herself. She knew that people in the city were talking about it, the delivery method of Qingfeng Grain Store.

After the gust of wind has passed and everyone has enough trust in Qingfeng Grain Store, they can let the waiters deliver the goods.

Sales during the day were a little better than usual, but not much better. They only sold for one stone, mainly relying on night business.

Finally, on the tenth day, the number reached one hundred.

Jiang Li didn't sleep at night. He caught up on his sleep during the day and didn't get up until after noon.

But this time when she got up, she received bad news again.

Wu Xiaoman came over with the money and said to Jiang Li.

"Four more families refused to give money and said they had never bought food."

"...How many stores have we blocked?"

"Now there are exactly ten. The number is rising."

"I should have taken care of it when it happened the first time. But now I just keep blocking them. They can take two kilograms of grain for no reason no matter what, and there is no impact at all."

Jiang Li sat and began to worry.

The food provided by these four families is their daily profit today. If it is still increasing, then they will lose money again.

Jiang Li asked again.

“What about the extra people during the day?”

"It has stabilized. We can sell less than two shi of food per day. But it is estimated that it is not even a fraction of the Liu family's. Moreover, our food can still be sold for five days. We need to buy more food."

"Then stop. But wait until tomorrow."

"why?"

"Because the Liu family must have said at the time that we couldn't do it. 'We have to stop in less than ten days' or something like that. It must be an integer. If we do it tomorrow, eleven days, we can't let them guess right."

Wu Xiaoman laughed after hearing this.

After eleven days, the two of them went to Jiangnan City to buy food.

Jiang Li asked Wu Xiaoman.

"How many days do we have?"

"There is just enough time. If you buy food there, you will come back immediately."

"I also want to go to Prince Mu's Mansion to see it."

"It's probably okay to stop by and say hello."

"Let's go then."

Jiang Li was very happy. If you have time to go shopping in Suzhou City, you must go and check out the Three Dandies.

When they arrived in Jiangnan, Wu Xiaoman went to buy food, while Jiang Li went to Prince Mu's Mansion.

Prince Mu's Mansion was being renovated at this time, and the person overseeing the work was the princess. The princess and the prince received Jiang Li warmly.

When the prime minister was mentioned, they all laughed and said that two months ago, some soldiers discovered that King Zhenxi was plotting a rebellion, and the prime minister was implicated. Now, the Prime Minister is completely useless.

The business of Prince Mu's Mansion has also improved. Since then, their business has soared, and now they have money to start renovating their home.

"The original business of the Prime Minister's Mansion was divided among us, and we got a lot."

Prince Mu said this.

Jiang Li nodded, but did not say that she and Shi Qingjue's group had arrested the King of Zhenxi.

The princess asked Jiang Li curiously.

"You're not a bandit now? What are you doing?"

"That's not right. Let's start doing business now."

"Do you need any help?"

When Jiang Li heard what Prince Mu said, he immediately became happy. She knew nothing about business and still needed some help.

"I……"

"For someone as powerful as her, isn't running a business a piece of cake?"

The princess interrupted Jiang Li.

Jiang Li could no longer say the words.

Prince Mu said to the princess again.

"People are great, but doing business is not that simple. You may need some help after all."

After finishing speaking, he said to Jiang Li again.

"If you need anything, just ask."

What Jiang Li faced now was help on the one hand, and face on the other.

Jiang Li has said more than once how much those men care about face, but it seems...

"Who am I! Doing business is not simple! Look at me, I will become a big businessman in two months!"

Jiang Li also felt that he had learned badly in the past half year or so.

Returning to Hucheng with the food, Wu Xiaoman was still settling accounts.

"The money that can flow in our account is only five hundred taels."

"It's very dangerous..."

"well enough?"

"But I am a person who wants to die, and I will definitely be gone soon..."

Jiang Li said this with a look of despair, even to the point of admitting his shortcomings.

When they arrived at Fuhu City, Jiang Li saw another familiar person.

He Qingfeng's eldest brother, He Qingguang.
