In front of the Li Residence.
The members of the Chamber of Commerce, led by Zhang Wannian, were quietly waiting for Li Yi's arrival.
It was not their goal to force them to buy and sell.
If possible.
It would be best if he could buy it back at a lower price.
He couldn't be too ruthless.
Otherwise, if he really didn't give Li Yi a single cent, he would end up getting something for nothing.
If word got out, the Ten Thousand Year Chamber of Commerce would be laughed at.
Li Yi followed behind Li Shiming, smiling as he walked over.
Empress Zhangsun hurried to Li Yi's side and said softly,""Your aunt and Old Huang can handle this matter. Stay at the side and don't make a sound.”
Li Yi pulled Empress Zhangsun behind him.
"Aunt Sun, let me teach you how to play with this group of people. Don't talk, watch and learn!”
The confident look on the youth's face stunned Empress Zhangsun.
How was this tone any different from Li Shimin, the former King of Qin?
Li Yi chuckled as he looked at Zhang Wannian. He cupped his fists and said,"Uncle Zhang, you're here again?"
F * ck!
This brat had just cut open his head in the morning, and now he could actually pretend that nothing had happened?
As expected of a retard!
" Cut the crap," Zhang Wannian said angrily." You stole our food. Why aren't you returning it to us?"”
"Uncle Zhang, why are you talking like that?" Li Yi said with grievance. I spent money! I asked you to buy it at the price of four copper coins per bushel of rice. Have you forgotten?”
Zhang Wannian and the old geezers of the Ten Thousand Year Chamber of Commerce behind him said at once,"What do you mean by spending four copper coins to buy it? What proof do you have?"
Li Yi was anxious." I've already given you the money. How can you go back on your words?!"”
Zhang Wannian said condescendingly,"Humph! No means no! Why are we being so shameless? We're already giving you a huge benefit by asking you to buy it for two copper coins per bushel of rice. Don't be so shameless. If things get ugly and you end up in a lawsuit, can you handle it?”
The rest of the people in the Chamber of Commerce echoed, and their words were not without threat."Kid, if you know what's good for you, sell it. Don't cause any trouble. If this gets to the government, not only will you have to return the grain to us, but you will also have to compensate us with double the price! Understand?"
Seeing this group of people attacking him.
Empress Zhangsun looked on anxiously.
"Erlang, this…"
Li Shimin signaled Empress Zhangsun not to be anxious and said,""Yi 'er wants you to learn, so just follow his lead. Don't worry, you won't suffer any losses.”
Li Shi Min didn't finish his sentence, but Yin Jiu's expression showed everything.
Li Yi looked at the members of the Ten Thousand Year Chamber of Commerce and sighed.""If I had known that I had signed a contract with you, I wouldn't have ended up like this.”
Li Yi changed the topic and shouted,"I'll sell it to you for four copper coins per bucket of rice." Or we'll continue to make a fuss!"
Who didn't know how to use both carrot and stick?
Zhang Wannian and the other elders of the Wannian Chamber of Commerce looked at each other.
The few of them exchanged glances and nodded to themselves.
Now, the price of grain in the market had risen to fifteen wen per bushel of rice.
The cost price of four copper coins had tripled in the blink of an eye.
It was simply a huge profit.
They didn't want to make a big deal out of it.
Now that Li Yi had admitted defeat, they did not have to kill him.
Zhang Wannian nodded and put on a kind smile.""Nephew, why didn't you say so earlier? What's wrong with everyone valuing harmony?”
He sighed and said," Four coins is fine. We'll lose a little. Who asked the uncles to love you?”
She had gotten a bargain and was still pretending to be good.
This group of merchants was shameless!
" I'm going to sign the contract this time," Li Yi said warily." You guys don't mind, do you?"”
Zhang Wannian nodded and said," Good child. It's good to be cautious. Alright, I'll sign it." Come on."
Li Yi returned to the kitchen and took out ink, a brush, and a stack of paper.
Both parties quickly signed the contract on the paper.
Zhang Wannian was about to get someone to bring food.
Li Yi quickly said,"It's getting late, come back tomorrow morning."”
Zhang Wannian hesitated.
"Uncle Zhang, you don't even have this bit of courage?" Li Yi laughed. Are you afraid that I'll escape? How can I transport such a large amount of food overnight?”
"Good! Come and fetch food tomorrow morning!" Zhang Wannian didn't say anything.
After being a Chamber of Commerce for so many years, he still had this bit of courage.
After this group of people left.
Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun were dumbfounded.
Empress Zhangsun was furious. What are you doing? This batch of grain was now worth fifteen wen per bushel of rice in the market! Why did you sell it at such a low price? You earned money with your own ability, why do you have to go along with these scums!”
"Are you afraid of them? It's okay, your aunt isn't afraid!"
Empress Zhangsun was both angry and distressed.
This child had no one to rely on all these years.
How much had he been bullied?
Li Yi smiled, telling Empress Zhangsun to calm down.
He said to Li Shimin,"Old Huang, go and report to the officials tomorrow morning.”
Hmm?
Li Shi Min was already confused.
"Report…Report to the authorities? You've already signed the contract, what's the use of reporting it to the authorities?”
Li Yi spread his hands and said,"Sign a contract?" Oh, you mean that? It's okay. They can't take out the contract.”
"You want to steal the contract?" Li Shi Min asked suspiciously.
According to Li Shiming's guess.
Li Yi intended to return the favor.
Once he stole the contract back, Zhang Wannian would fall into a situation where he would have to look at Li Yi.
They could be framed for stealing grain without evidence.
In this way, according to the law, the other party would compensate Li Yi double the amount of money.
Li Yi shook his head and replied," There's no need to steal. Anyway, these people will suffer a double loss. Just wait and see!"”
……
Zhang Wannian and the other elders of the Wannian Chamber of Commerce kept thinking along the way.
However, he could not figure out what tricks Li Yi would play.
In the end, he concluded, There is only one possibility.”
"He's really a fool!"
The few of them smiled.
"Old Zhang, you have to keep this contract well. Who knows, Li Yi might come and steal the contract tonight.”
A few old fellows from the Ten Thousand Year Chamber of Commerce solemnly reminded him.
If the contract was lost…
Li Yi would definitely bite back and accuse them of stealing Li Yi's food.
If the government found out about this…
If that was the case, the ones who would have to pay double the compensation would not be Li Yi, but them.
So tonight.
The contract must not be lost!
Zhang Wannian nodded.
He stuffed the contract into an envelope and locked it in a small box. He hugged it to sleep the whole night.
In this way.
It was foolproof!
