According to Jiang Li's words, these three dudes sent a message to the old man at home, "Don't be so condescending."

This was what they had wanted to say to the old man for more than ten years, and they were very happy.

The three of them stayed in Fuhu City and found an inn to stay. The fun things Jiang Li said really interested them.

He Qingguang had already come to Jiang Li when Jiang Li sold all the grain. It was then that Jiang Li told him the reason for the matter.

At that time, most of the grain had been sold, and he could no longer stop him. However, He Qingguang also became a little angry at Jiang Li.

For this reason, he specially set out for Suzhou City to investigate clearly, and then hurried back.

"Jiang Li, I found out that they are not bankrupt. The three of them are doing well in business. They are lying to you!"

He Qingguang opened the door and said this to Jiang Li, and then saw the money Jiang Li placed on the table and Wu Xiaoman was counting.

Forty thousand taels.

Jiang Li looked up at him.

"I know, and I have already scolded the three of them. They brought 200,000 taels, but I asked for 40,000 taels, which is exactly the current price of the grain I originally sold."

"...You actually didn't get compensation for mental damages!"

What surprised He Qingguang was this.

He had seen Jiang Li collect this kind of fee from his brother He Qingfeng many times.

Jiang Li was also stunned for a moment, then slapped his forehead.

"Stupid! I was just so angry that I forgot about this! No matter what, I have to get some personal money."

"Private money? Don't you use it to buy food?"

Wu Xiaoman asked, and Jiang Li smiled.

"Have you forgotten? If I have money, the plan will not work. Okay, let's start buying food tomorrow."

Jiang Li cannot buy back the food that has already reached the hands of the people. Most of the food on the market now has also gone to the Liu family.

And this was the part that Jiang Li was interested in.

She sent Wu Xiaoman to find the grain merchants from whom the Liu family had bought grain. The grain is still in their warehouse and has not arrived at the Liu family.

Only those items that entered the Liu family's warehouse could not be taken away by Jiang Li.

Those bosses would naturally not be willing, after all, they signed the contract.

"At what price did the Liu family buy the grain from you?"

Wu Xiaoman asked them this question.

There was no answer, so Wu Xiaoman continued.

"The food now has more than tripled, but when you sold it to them, it still only doubled, right? How much do you think they will earn at such a price? You just guard this gold-like food every day. This food doesn’t belong to you, so you can only watch their prices increase while you get nothing. Can you be happy?”

"Then what should we do? If we tear up the treaty, we will have to pay liquidated damages."

"The liquidated damages are already lower than the price increase of food during this period, right? Besides, we will pay you."

Wu Xiaoman came with such a mission.

So, she bought grain from several grain merchants at about four times the price.

At the same time, the Liu family went to find He Qingguang.

When they learned that He Qingguang gave Jiang Li the original ten thousand, the Liu family already wanted to find He Qingguang. But at that time, He Qingguang had already rushed to Jiangnan.

Now that He Qingguang is back, they naturally want to talk to He Qingguang.

He Qingguang received Liu Youcai and Liu Kangan in the living room of his business.

"What do you want when you come today?"

"It stands to reason that since the young master of Yong'an Company is here, we should pay him a visit."

"Our business has nothing to do with each other, right? I sell my pearls, and you sell your grain."

"Then why does the young master want to invest in Qingfeng Grain Store? It's still only ten thousand taels. Aren't you planning to enter the grain business?"

Liu Youcai asked this question with a smile, but He Qingguang felt the murderous intention behind it.

That's the murderous spirit in the mall.

He Qingguang dismissed this.

"Are you here to accuse me today?"

"I don't dare, I'm just curious. If the young master really wants to enter the food business, we will give up the space. We will never dare to compete with Yong'an Company. With your scale, no matter where you do business, Can surpass us several times.”

"Dozens of times."

He Qingguang corrected Liu Youcai, then took a sip of tea and continued.

"But don't worry, I'm not interested in those petty profits. I just like Jiang Li, so I will help her do whatever she does."

These words made it impossible for the Liu family and his son to continue.

What else can be said? Then don't like it? Is this unethical?

The toughness in these words was beyond the reach of the Liu family and his son.

In such silence, He Qingguang continued to speak.

"If Jiang Li wants to defeat you all by himself, then I won't take action. The ten thousand taels I gave are just an investment, and it only goes up to this point. I won't provide any help after that."

"really?"

"Seriously. So you can lose with confidence."

After saying that, He Qingguang saw off the guests.

After leaving here, Liu Youcai still stamped his feet angrily.

Liu Kangan was puzzled.

"Dad? What's wrong? Didn't he already say that he won't continue to help Qingfeng Grain Shop? Are you worried that he will go back on his word?"

"I'm worried about Jiang Li going back on his word."

"What do you mean?"

"That little girl has guessed this a long time ago. She can't lose no matter what."

"How to say?"

Liu Kang'an didn't understand the reason yet. Liu Youcai looked at him with a bit of hatred, and then asked.

"Let me ask you, what is the biggest threat to Jiang Li in the contract?"

"It's just that she wants to marry me and then...oh..."

At this point, Liu Youcai understood.

With He Qingguang's current attitude, how could he let Jiang Li lose to that?

Even if Jiang Li really loses, with He Qingguang's ability, it will be very simple to break the treaty, and he has plenty of money.

Liu Kangan said again.

"But when the time comes, He Qingguang will definitely give us a large sum of money to let us give up Jiang Li, right? This way we can still make some money."

"I just feel unhappy. That little girl has tricked us to this point, but we can't let her lose completely."

It's like hitting a fist on soft cotton, you can't feel anything.

Liu Kangan asked again.

"Dad, shall we continue?"

"Of course, it's good to get some money. Besides, this business can be very big. These days, many grain merchants want to buy grain back, and some from other places also come over, but I have signed the contract Okay, what can they do? My previous guess was five times, but looking at it now, when the news of the defeat comes, the food supply will be at least seven or eight times."

After that, they went back.

But on the third day, they received terrible news.

Five grain merchants came to visit the Liu family and threatened to tear up the contract.

"This is not a personal grudge, it's just business. The price given by Boss Jiang is enough for us to do this."

"This is how you do business? With your credibility, who would dare to do business with you?"

"Boss Jiang. We are just here to inform you that the liquidated damages can be paid to you now." Liu Youcai's expression changed.

Let’s not mention the bet with Jiang Li. Once these grains change hands, their future profits will be reduced a lot.

So Liu Youcai faked a smile again.

"Boss, why are you like this? You guys stay here for a few days and take a look at the scenery. The scenery in Fuhu City is quite good. If anything happens, we can discuss it later."

After sending these people away, Liu Kangan came over and asked Liu Youcai again.

"Dad, they are like this, why do you still do business with them?"

"Businessmen pursue profit, and integrity is just a bonus. With the current price of food, it's no wonder they are going crazy."

"But once this news gets out, what will happen to our face?"

"It's not a matter of face now. Once they succeed, the news will spread to other grain dealers immediately. Do you think they won't go crazy when they see such profits? Will they not take the initiative to find Jiang Li?"

"Then what can we do?"

"First go and scold Jiang Li, and then... raise the money for those grain merchants."

As they said, the Liu family and his son immediately went to Jiang Li and condemned her for being unethical in doing business.

Jiang Li didn't really care.

"I'm a newbie. It's natural for me to make a mistake once or twice. Don't worry, I won't make it again in the future."

Jiang Li's confident appearance once again made the Liu family and his son at a loss.

Liu Youcai finally said a harsh word.

"A price war, right? Let's see who has the money."

Such harsh words have no lethality to Jiang Li.

After they left, Wu Xiaoman looked at Jiang Li who was smiling happily.

"It is indeed unethical of you to do this. From a business perspective, there is nothing wrong with the Liu family's approach. They buy at low prices and sell at high prices."

"But from a business perspective, I'm not wrong, right? Buying at a high price is not relying on threats."

"That's true. It's up to the grain merchants to be willing to tear up the treaty. As long as they persist, we can't do anything."

"Isn't it bad for us to put the blame on the grain merchants?"

"...It's amazing that this comes out of your mouth."

Wu Xiaoman complained like this, and Jiang Li laughed again.

"Anyway, if I make a mistake and run away, this store will still be yours from now on, and you have to clean up the mess."

The price war soon started again, but this time they were not selling, but buying.

Buying the same thing together.

The autumn grain hasn't come yet, so the grain on the market is just there. The food that can still be purchased in several nearby cities is placed there.

This is what Jiang Li and Liu Youcai are fighting over.

For three consecutive days, both of them raised prices for the grain dealer more than once. Seeing such an atmosphere, those grain merchants were the happiest.

By this time, they no longer planned to sell the grain to anyone else, because no one outside would be able to pay the price these two people paid.

Five times the price.

People outside are definitely not that crazy.

On the third day, by pure chance, Jiang Li and Wu Xiaoman met the Liu family and his son while having dinner in a restaurant.

Jiang Li asked them.

"Why did you two go out to eat? The cook ran away?"

"I just went to discuss business and collected some of the grain you bought."

"If you don't mind, just sit down and eat together. There are quite a lot of people here."

Jiang Li stretched out his hand to signal.

It was also lunch time, and the restaurant itself was very famous, so there were indeed a lot of people, but you could still find an empty table if you wanted.

Just as Liu Kangan was about to say something, he was grabbed by Liu Youcai. Then, Liu Youcai said to Jiang Li again.

"Since Boss Jiang said so, let's sit down."

After sitting down, Liu Youcai looked at the dishes on the table, ordered some better dishes, and then said to Jiang Li.

"Boss Jiang is not a local and doesn't know what the characteristics of our place are."

"That's true. I've only been here a month."

"Actually, there is a question that I have always wanted to ask Boss Jiang."

"go ahead."

"What exactly do you want to do?"

Liu Youcai really wanted to know the answer to this question, but he had never figured it out clearly.

Jiang Li thought for a while and then said.

"Actually, it's nothing. I just came here and found out that you were targeting my shop. Then wouldn't I have to fight with you? If you were willing to stay with us and do business here normally, then we wouldn't do anything."

"The teachings of our ancestors cannot be violated. My grandfather started from scratch and spent a lot of effort to finally make our family the only one in Fuhu City. As a younger generation, I have to keep it no matter what, right?"

"That's it?"

"And it's very profitable. We have been eating for so many years, and you suddenly want to take a share of the pie. We have to drive you away. Is there a problem?"

"No. You want to drive us away, but we want to stay, so we have to bankrupt you. Is there a problem?"

"No."

"Then it's just a business matter."

Jiang Li raised his wine glass, and Liu Youcai smiled and raised it as well.

The people around had never imagined that they could see such a scene, these four people clinking glasses.

After finishing the drink, Liu Youcai said again.

"But Boss Jiang must have just entered the mall, right?"

"How did you tell?"

"Because you know little about this aspect. For example, you want to start a price war with me. It's so obvious. You definitely don't have as much money as I do."

"You know the mall very well, but you don't know much about people."

"How to say?"

"People are different from shopping malls. People's weaknesses are very obvious. Do you know why now, I can control a grain merchant similar to you?"

"I really haven't understood this. No matter how you think about it, I have a good chance of winning. Does Boss Jiang know?"

Liu Youcai asked Jiang Li, and Jiang Li stretched himself.

"Because they don't want you to win. You've been the dominant family for so long, and you have the final say on the price. Besides, they've torn up the contract again this time, fearing your revenge. The safest way is to let you die. A very serious death. We need to be thorough. Our bet is a good medium."

Liu Youcai has been in the shopping mall for so long, so he is naturally aware of this matter. He just wants to know if Jiang Li can see it.

Then he said again.

"But your support only goes so far. I still have 70% of the food on my side. Even if you are eloquent, it will only be 40% at most in the end."

"Don't worry, there are still more than twenty days."

Jiang Li said this without any panic at all.

Liu Youcai was very puzzled, and the next day, he knew what Jiang Li planned to do.

Because of Qingfeng Grain Store, I started borrowing money.

Borrow money from everyone in the city.
