Before Li Ling could figure out the other party's intentions, someone at his deskmate quickly spoke: "Boss Shu, you are really scheming, I admire you. Then I will follow you, and you will be a thirty and a half dollars a day. Boss Jiang, there is no rule here that you can't raise the price like this, right?"

Boss Jiang immediately smiled and replied, "Of course not. As long as you think it is appropriate, half a month can also be used to increase the price."

Originally, this grain transaction is a bulk business. It is natural that you can't give it to a bucket of half a penny, but it can be different if it turns into tens of thousands or tens of thousands of stones.

Boss Shu was immediately annoyed when he heard the other party’s bid: “My surname is Zhou, you have always fought with me before, and this time you have to fight with me again? Okay, let’s compare who has a stronger capital, one fight of thirty-three folks!”

"Thirty-three and a half." Boss Zhou was not anxious or impatient, and still only suppressed the other party.

"Thirty-five quotations!" Boss Shu bid again, not knowing whether he was determined to win or was inspired by the other party's attitude, he added the price without hesitation. Boss Zhou did not hesitate and immediately added half of the article: "Thirty-five quotations a half."

"Thirty-six quotations." Boss Shu said again, but this time he didn't wait for the other party to add another half of the quotations, but he said first: "Lao Jiang, did you just mention a rule that the higher price gets it, and then after the highest person takes the amount of grain he wants, the second highest person will directly ask for food? He can no longer change his bid, nor can he invest less at a high price, and then use a low price to earn more?"

"Yes, Boss Shu is serious and careful. We are the rule here, in order to give you a fairness!" Boss Jiang said with a smile, but Boss Zhou's face changed suddenly. The price of grain that was about to be shouted for was completely swallowed back, and his body was trembling slightly. He was careless and was fooled by this opponent.

Li Ling also showed a sarcastic look on his face at this time. In fact, he reacted faster than Boss Shu. When both sides shouted in succession, they vaguely guessed that there would be such a possibility of such a regulation-

This grain auction is really different from ordinary auctions. After you buy the things at the general auction at a high price, others naturally cannot buy them again. But the grain is different. Because the quantity is sufficient, the person with the highest bid cannot eat all of them, so he can only take the number he needs first, and then the person with the second highest bidder will report the number of grain purchases.

In order to demonstrate a certain fairness and prevent someone from maliciously raising prices, there is a hidden rule that each customer has only one chance, and the quotation can only rise but not fall. Therefore, after the highest person takes money to buy grain, as long as no one competes with the second highest person, he has to buy grain according to his own bid.

Now, in order to raise the price, Boss Zhou has made Boss Shu pay more money, but he has also cheated himself at an unacceptable high price. It is really harmful to others and himself. Li Ling even speculated that Boss Shu was deliberately tempted to take the bait. Obviously, there is a conflict between the two sides, and Boss Zhou is far inferior to Boss Shu in terms of financial resources.

"Boss Shu bid 36 cents per bull, but is there anyone who bid higher than him? Are there anyone who bid more than 36 cents?" Boss Jiang asked several more times. After confirming that no one had an additional price on the spot, he clapped his hands, "Congratulations to Boss Shu, you are the first person to buy food. I wonder how much food you want this time?"

Boss Shu proudly glanced at his opponent who was still in a daze, and then smiled and said, "You can give as much as I want?"

"good."

"Two hundred thousand stones, is there?"

As soon as this number came out, even Boss Jiang changed his face slightly, but he quickly smiled and said, "Boss Shu, you want it, so we naturally have it."

"Then it's only 200,000 stones. According to this calculation, you don't have much left in your hands." Boss Shu smiled proudly again.

Boss Jiang only smiled at this statement, but did not deny it, but looked at Boss Zhou again: "Boss Zhou, it's your place. It's 30 and a half dollars a bucket, but I don't know how much food you want?"

Boss Zhou was shocked again when asked, but at this time there was no room for regret. He could only grit his teeth and said, "I want ten thousand stones, do you still have it?"

The amount of food he wanted was obviously not comparable to that of Boss Shu, but Boss Jiang had no intention of picking things up. He still agreed with a smile, and then turned to others: "Bosses, except for these two bosses, the one who called the highest was the boss's twenty-seven-money dou, but are there anyone else who raised the price?"

This time, everyone lowered their heads to meditate, but they didn't rush to speak. Li Ling quickly calculated in his mind that it was not about the price of grain, but how much grain could the other party take out.

If it were in the past, as he said, it was the entire Suizhou Prefecture's stockpiling of grain, then they could even double the 200,000 or 300,000 stones at present. But now the situation is a little different. After the locust plague, the food was completely lost last year. Who knows how much it can be taken out in the hands of the government here? In his opinion, if there is another 10,000 stones, it will be the best, so if you really want to get the food, you have to seize this last chance.

At that moment, Li Ling spoke: "Twenty-eight articles."

"This boss has bid 28 quotations, but is there anything more than him?" Boss Jiang was excited and said quickly.

"Twenty-eight and a half-in-one." A businessman at the same table immediately followed, obviously he really wanted to buy a batch of food.

But Li Ling raised the price again without hesitation: "Thirty quotations!"

As soon as this number was released, other people who wanted to increase the price also shut up decisively. Although the price was still not comparable to those two people just now, it had already exceeded everyone's psychological price. I thought that I could still put aside the price later, so they stopped talking and allowed Li Ling to acquire the third batch of grain at a price twice the previous market price.

"I wonder how much food you want, Boss Ling?" Boss Jiang asked again.

Li Ling raised two fingers: "I want 200,000 stones, I wonder if you have one?" According to the current measurement, one stone is ten dou, and two hundred thousand stones is two million dou, which is sixty million dollars. Compared with the official comparison of the copper coins and silver of Dayue today, eight hundred coins will be one tael, which is seventy-five thousand taels of silver.

This was also a considerable sum of money in the shopping mall, especially in Huguang, which had just been affected by the disaster, which moved many people a little. I didn't expect that this businessman who came from other places would have such a big deal. However, they didn't know that Li Ling had much more wealth than they thought, and 75,000 taels of silver was just a drop in the bucket.

Although Boss Jiang was a little surprised, he nodded quickly and replied: "Yes, as long as Boss Ling handed over the money as much as possible, the food will be handed over to you in three days."

Li Ling frowned slightly when he heard this: "I'll ask again. Will you care about how I use this food when it comes to my hands? Especially the local government..."

"Of course this won't happen. As long as Boss Ling pays for the food, they will be yours. You can just transport it back to Huaibei, or you can just sell it locally in Huguang to make money. We will never interfere with the government."

"Okay, then I want 300,000 shi, do you have it?" Li Ling suddenly increased the amount again. After seeing the other party agreeing to his request so easily, he decided to ask for more, and he could still take out the 30,000 to 50,000 taels of silver.

Everyone present changed color again, and even Boss Shu looked at Li Ling thoughtfully, with a little more fear. However, Boss Jiang still smiled: "No problem, 300,000 shi, and the money will be delivered, and there will be no default."

"Okay." Li Ling immediately raised his glass and drank the wine, indicating that he had no other requests.

In the mood of everyone a little anxious, the auction continued. Although the merchants who bought grain next did not have the same quotation or numbers as those of Li Ling and Boss Shu, almost everyone paid for it. The cheapest one was twenty-two essays and the most expensive one was twenty-eight essays. Li Ling quickly calculated that the average price was twenty-four and a half.

But what is most surprising is that no matter how much grain they want, Boss Jiang said that all the grain sold together exceeded the previous three people’s purchases at a high price, and they all gathered together, reaching as much as 1.2 million stones.

Based on the average price of everyone, each bucket is 28 cents. The final income from selling grain reached 420,000 taels, which is almost worth a year's tax in Suizhou.

While surprised by their greed, Li Ling was more interested in where these people got so much food. Even in Huguang, which produces a lot of food, a mere prefecture could not easily produce such a large amount of food, right? And judging from their reactions, it seems that there is still a surplus.

At this time, Boss Jiang, who was full of spring breeze, had finished speaking on the scene, and then smiled and said, "Bosses, I would like to express my gratitude to you all for your support today on time on behalf of the adults above. Here, I can make a solemn promise that as long as the money is in place, the food will be delivered to you on time. In addition, the expenses in the building today are exempted. Whoever likes any girl can take someone upstairs..."

Many businessmen were quite interested in their reception, so they put their glasses and went to find a beautiful woman next to them. Naturally, Li Ling did not have such interest. He just toasted with the remaining few unhappy businessmen. After saying a few more gossips, he came to Boss Jiang and mentioned to him that he would go to the inn where he stayed in two days to get the silver. Then, Li Moyun came out of Ruyi Tower with a serious expression.

After leaving the brothel, seeing no one paying attention, Li Ling immediately whispered: "Mo Yun, please send them a message and follow the local merchants more to understand their situation. Also, Boss Jiang from Ruyi Building must be more focused on it. I want to know where he has been to the next place and who he has seen, and no detail can be missed."

Although Li Moyun was full of doubt, he did not dare to say much at this time. He quickly agreed and turned around and walked to the corner. He seemed to be peeing, but he had already conveyed the news to his family members who were hiding in the dark.
