Chapter 70 The Prisoner's Dilemma
"Okay!" All the grain merchants responded one after another, because they had something on their minds, they left early.

Separated from Brother Liu Xian and the others, Brother Zhang returned to the hotel where he was staying and said to his attendant, "Have you been to the shopkeeper's house of Zhou Grain Merchant?"

"The shopkeeper Han got married the year before last, and I drank the wedding wine." The servant asked in a low voice, "What does the boss mean?"

"You go to his house." Brother Zhang took out a stack of treasure notes from the boot leaf and said, "See if you can accept our food."

"You still need to give him a gift?" The attendant asked with wide eyes.

"Nonsense." Brother Zhang sighed: "It's only the first day, there are only so many people, there must be more tomorrow, who will give it to whom? It's even more confusing. It's better to spend money and money, and pay for it as soon as possible." .”

"Yes." The attendant went out with the ticket in his pocket, and came back half an hour later with the money: "He didn't go home, he's staying in the shop."

"Then go to the store and knock on the door." Brother Zhang was already under the covers, and scolded, "Why are you so stubborn?"

"Don't mention it." The attendant said gloomily, "You didn't go when you were young, but you couldn't knock on the door no matter how hard you knocked, and you bumped into several colleagues..."

"It's also a gift?"

"Yes." The attendant nodded depressedly.

"Oh," Brother Zhang sighed, "You're not stupid, it seems that tomorrow will be difficult..."

That night, Brother Zhang was sleepless all night like spreading pancakes. He finally got up and washed his face indiscriminately, ate something, and went straight to Zhou's grain store.

He thought he had come early enough, but when he arrived at the entrance of the grain store, he saw several colleagues had already arrived first.

"Morning, everyone." Brother Zhang quickly squeezed out a dry smile and said, "It's quite cold this morning."

"Morning, you are old." Everyone also smiled reluctantly: "I don't know when the door will open, so hurry in and get warm."

"Just call it out." Old Brother Zhang said, "You're not here to buy food, so you still follow his rules?"

"Called, but no one answered." Everyone smiled wryly: "What do you think is going on? We begged them to buy food!"

"That's right," someone said angrily, "It's always been them begging us, why did we beg them?"

"Hey." Brother Zhang said with a smile, "Who made us greedy for high prices?"

"Hey, why bother to be a fat man who can't eat in one bite?" The man said angrily, "If he pushes it again and again, he simply won't sell it and go home for the New Year!"

"That's right!" Everyone echoed.

Brother Zhang also nodded, but sneered in his heart, it would be strange for any of you to be willing to leave.It is true that we all expect others to leave!

The people waited outside the store in disbelief, more and more grain merchants came, and the planks had not been unloaded by Mao's time, all the grain merchants slapped the planks angrily and shouted: "Open the door, open the door!" They all stopped to watch.

Finally, amidst the loud banging of the door, a piece of plank was removed, revealing the sleepy face of shopkeeper Han.He bowed to the group of grain merchants and apologized again and again: "I didn't expect you to come so early, I'm really sorry!"

"It took so long to knock on the door before you heard it!"

"Oh, I'm asleep like a dead pig, and I can't hear you even if you fire a cannon." The shopkeeper removed the door panel and let the grain merchants into the shop, "It's all frozen, come in and get warm."

Judging whether a party is strong or weak does not depend on whose voice is loud and angry, but on their reaction to lame reasons. Like the grain merchants, they accept it silently, which obviously has nothing to do with being strong...

Grain merchants filed into the store one by one, filling the front hall to the brim.The shopkeeper hurriedly made tea, and greeted everyone.

I dealt with him patiently for a few words, and finally said impatiently: "Master Han, have you asked your boss, what did he say?!"

"Oh, don't mention it, I was scolded by my boss." The shopkeeper said with a gloomy face: "But I should scold you too. I didn't believe you bosses, so I came up with such a bad idea of ​​'spreading the net'. I thought it would work." It's not bad to come halfway, I didn't expect all the bosses to be so enthusiastic, and none of them came here!"

"Could it be that Zhou Yang's letter was written by you?" Many people were furious on the spot.

"Of course not, but the boss only wants me to find a few old-fashioned and warm-hearted bosses, so I won't let everyone know about me." Shopkeeper Han sighed: "I have caused a big problem for the boss. You are all friends and benefactors. It’s not suitable to buy anyone’s, so the owner has to carefully consider whether to buy it in the order of first come, first served, or each person buys a part, or buys all of them.”

"Of course I bought them all." Immediately someone said, "In this way, no one will be offended."

"If you buy them all, you won't be able to sell them for three or two for one stone. The owner is just throwing pots and selling iron, and he doesn't have that much money." Shopkeeper Han spread his hands and said sincerely: "Please wait another day, tomorrow, tomorrow must have a confirmation letter."

"Why do you have to wait until tomorrow!" The grain merchants said unhappily, "If you park at the dock for one day, you have to pay for the berth for one day, as well as the labor of the clerks, and the loss of food. Who is responsible for the loss?"

"Because of the rules of the county government, only Shen Shi can visit the prison." Shopkeeper Han said with a wry smile, "This time I must come up with a charter!"

The bosses looked at each other in blank dismay, do they have to wait another day?
At this time, some people had already come to buy food, and when they came in to see the good guy, the room was full of people.Cautiously asked: "Shopkeeper Han, is it open yet?"

"It's open." Shopkeeper Han leaned forward and said, "I'm sorry, everyone, some of the guys in the store went out to deliver letters, and the one who stayed behind died again the day before yesterday. Alas, I'm the only one left to work."

"What kind of grain are you selling, let's get rid of this problem first," said the grain merchants dissatisfied, "Let him go to another store to buy it!"

"Well..." Shopkeeper Han had no choice but to apologize to the customer: "Go to Qian's Food Store to buy it, sorry, sorry."

"Okay..." They were all old acquaintances, and the customer couldn't say anything, so he left empty-handed.

Shopkeeper Han had just sat down and was about to continue talking to the grain merchants when another customer came in, so he had no choice but to get up again to greet him.Before the people are sent away, there are people who come in again, which is called a continuous stream, and nothing can be discussed.

Finally, the grain merchants couldn't help but said: "Get on the deck! Shut it up for a day and a half, no one will die."

"Okay." The shopkeeper Han was easy to talk, and immediately put on the plank, and put up a sign of 'Closed Business Today'.Turning around and going in, he asked, "What's your opinion? I can tell my boss..."

"You have to cut the mess quickly, the more people come, the harder it is to deal with." The grain merchant suggested: "Hurry up and accept those of us, and then apologize to the people behind, at worst, you will pay for the shipping fee. That's how it happened." "That's right, this time your savior is eager, so don't be so aggressive in the future!"

"That's a good idea..." Boss Han's eyes lit up, and then he said with a bitter face: "However, there were many people who came earlier than you yesterday, but they haven't arrived yet."

"Who do they blame for sleeping late?" Seeing that he was a little relieved, the grain merchants immediately rushed up and said, "Let's make a deed!"

"I'm not the boss, how can I get a deed?" Boss Han was surrounded by a group of wolf-like grain merchants, looking very helpless.

"Why are you so determined!" The grain merchants suggested to him: "You draft a document with us, and you will have something to say later. Then give it to your boss to sign and sign in the afternoon, and it will be closed."

"That's not a problem," Boss Han said with a wry smile, "but without the documents signed by the owner, who will take it seriously?"

"It's simple." The grain merchants had no shortage of ways to say: "You can pay us a part of the deposit."

"This..." Shopkeeper Han wondered, "I don't dare to make decisions about this kind of thing!"

"It's really stubborn." The grain merchants scolded: "We can give you a discount, and I will spare you a hundred yuan for every stone of grain. In this way, your boss can only say that you can do business, and others can't say anything!"

"This..." Shopkeeper Han looked at the grain merchants and said, "But there is only a little change on the cabinet. The boss's money for grain is stored in the bank, and he can only get it with his seal."

"It's just a gag, no matter how much." Everyone had no bottom line and just wanted to sign the document quickly.

"Okay then, bosses, please write down Gao's surname and name, and how much grain you have to sell..." Shopkeeper Han finally couldn't stand the crowd of tigers, so he went to the counter to write a deed. The following signed and marked, and then the shopkeeper Han took out a stack of treasured banknotes from the counter and handed it to him.

The stack of treasure bills was tattered, worth a hundred cash, and the grain merchants were not too small, so they immediately typed the receipt and put it in their arms, feeling a lot more at ease.

More than a dozen businessmen signed contracts one by one, but it was not something that could be completed in a short time.As soon as I wrote two copies inside, I heard loud knocking on the door outside.

"Closed today!" A grain merchant replied on behalf of shopkeeper Han: "Guests come back tomorrow."

"We are not buying rice, but selling rice." Obviously, the people knocking on the door were also grain merchants, and there were more people than inside. "Hurry up and open the door, don't think we don't know what you are doing inside!"

"That's right, friends inside, if you have money, let's get rich, don't eat alone!" The people outside said loudly: "Besides, we have to say first come, first served, but we arrived yesterday morning!"

The people inside looked at each other in blank dismay, it was inappropriate not to open it, but once it was opened it would change things.

"Don't worry about the outside!" Elder Brother Zhang made up his mind and said, "You guys help Boss Han, finish writing the deed quickly!"

All the grain merchants hurried to find the brushes, and five or six people helped write the deed together...

Waiting outside suppressed temper for a while, saw no movement inside, knew that people were planning to cook the raw rice and then open it, all kinds of complicated emotions of being fooled, hurt, bullied and insulted immediately occupied everyone's heart, and I don't know who took the lead shouted:
"Don't let them succeed! Break the door open!"

"Yes, it's too bullying, break the door open!" Then some young and strong ones kicked and bumped against the grain store board.
