Chapter 335: Three hundred thirty-four What is this thing! _1
By this time, Ji Changming, who had been beaten up to look like a fresh pig’s head, saw that everyone’s attention was now drawn elsewhere.
He seized the moment and scrambled out of the crowd.
Boss Gu, seeing the opponent’s behavior, could not be bothered to entangle himself further and was ready to let Boss Hu continue with the inspection.
However, at this moment, Ji Changming, who stood beside the fleet of trucks, once again called out in a muffled voice.
"Everybody hold up!"
The anger that Boss Gu had just vented flared up involuntarily at these words.
The surrounding villagers also stared at him with ill-favored expressions.
"Wait a minute, I am here to sell grain today as well; surely you aren’t going to prevent me from conducting business, are you?"
After taking a brutal beating, Ji Changming had finally learned his lesson. Knowing brute force wouldn’t work, he resorted to a softer approach.
On hearing this, the crowd hesitated for a moment, seemingly unclear about the situation.
Then they saw Ji Changming slap the side of the big truck and the tailboard was let down.
The villagers could then see many neatly stacked large burlap sacks inside.
With these things, Ji Changming seemed to feel an instant surge of confidence.
He jerked his chin towards the men beside Boss Gu and said arrogantly,
"Boss Hu, right? You are out here to do business. You wouldn’t only do business with him and not with me, would you?"
The fellow surnamed Hu opposite could not help but laugh upon hearing this.
"Naturally, I’ll buy from whoever has the better grain and more goods," he responded.
Upon hearing this, Ji Changming’s swollen pig-like face revealed a satisfied smile.
He then glanced at Boss Gu opposite and said through gritted teeth,
"In that case, I am laying down a challenge today. No matter how much Boss Gu’s goods sell for,
I can sell mine for thirty percent less. However, Boss Hu, I only have one request.
If you take my goods, then you absolutely cannot take his. What do you say?"
At these words, the man surnamed Hu seemed hesitant.
He looked at the truck full of grain sacks, clearly torn.
He was a businessman but did not want to get involved in the disputes of others.
If he really followed Ji Changming’s offer, he would only need to pay seventy percent of the price for the same goods.
For him, that was no small sum.
If Ji Changming’s goods were of the same standard as Boss Gu’s, then there would be little need to think further about it.
However, he had been brought here by Zhao Chunfa today. If he just agreed to Ji Changming’s terms, it would be difficult to explain things to the village.
With this in mind, his gaze couldn’t help but turn towards Boss Gu next to him, and he found himself in a dilemma.
However, Ji Changming, seemingly holding the winning ticket, continued to speak.
"Boss Hu, as a businessman, what is the most important thing to you? Profit! If you can earn a bit more money, why bother so much about personal relations, right?" he said.
With those words, the faces of the people present turned somewhat ugly.
Boss Gu’s side had collected grain to sell, and now he was standing at the village entrance to sell grain too.
And he was intentionally selling at thirty percent less.
This was blatantly trying to incur losses just to make sure Boss Gu’s batch of grain could not be sold and would be left on his hands.
Boss Gu himself could not help but furrow his brow, not expecting Ji Changming to have prepared a backup plan.
But soon, as if he thought of something, he turned his head and said with a smile to the man beside him,
"Whomever Boss Hu wishes to do business with is entirely your prerogative; be assured of that. Even if you end up taking Ji Changming’s goods, that’s no problem, you are Old Zhao’s friend, and you will still be my friend, Boss Gu’s, in the future."
Boss Gu saw a look of gratitude and relief emerge on the other person’s face, then paused for a moment.
He continued to speak with an implied meaning.
"I naturally understand Boss Hu’s thoughts, but some things, if they are sold cheap, there must be a reason why they are cheap.
Some things are expensive for a reason, don’t you think, Boss Hu?"
The man surnamed Hu, though burly and unkempt in appearance,
was not someone who could be easily dismissed given his ability to lead caravans across the south and north to conduct business in these times.
And he quickly grasped the hidden meaning in Boss Gu’s words.
He had come with the intention of acquiring quality goods.
Right now, Boss Gu’s grain was right in front of him, clearly top-grade, freshly harvested.
After taking it and doing a bit of processing, such fresh grain
could be sold at a higher price with a simple flip of the hand.
After all, it was genuinely good stuff, and there was no way it would be a loss, no matter what.
But Ji Changming’s promises were all very pleasing to the ear,
yet the actual quality of the grain inside the sack hadn’t been revealed at all.
Thinking of this, the man surnamed Hu immediately stepped forward and said to Ji Changming.
"Excuse me, sir, but could you please open up this sack a bit so I can inspect the goods first?"
"Of course, no problem at all!"
Ji Changming confidently clapped his hands and looked provocatively at Boss Gu across from him.
Soon, two subordinates brought over a sack of grain, and this sight stirred some excitement in Boss Hu.
After all, that was a profit of thirty percent, and if this deal was successful, it would save him half a year’s worth of toiling.
He was full of anticipation, a bit nervous as he untied the knots.
Then he reached in to grab a handful, and when he pulled his hand out and opened it,
his face turned green in an instant.
"Boss Ji, is this what you call goods, even less by thirty percent than his?"
Boss Hu asked through clenched teeth, his voice grave.
"That’s right. Can’t the amount I’ve brought this time satisfy you? But no matter, I’m loaded with money. As long you want it, I can buy however much you need."
Ji Changming boasted, as if he already had the upper hand.
However, it was obvious he hadn’t noticed the nearly uncontrollable smile on Boss Gu’s face across from him.
"Boss Ji, I hope that next time you joke around, you keep it within limits. If you try to swindle me like this again, don’t blame me for not being polite."
Boss Hu huffed coldly.
His face full of rage, he threw the moldy, blackened old grain in his hand at Ji Changming’s face.
"You, have you lost your mind? I don’t believe his stuff could be better than mine.
Boss Hu, as long as you take my goods, I’ll give you a sixty percent discount, no, seventy percent!"
Ji Changming saw Boss Hu walking farther away and couldn’t help shouting and stomping his feet from behind.
However, by now, the man was also somewhat infuriated and turned back to curse.
"You bastard. Your so-called spoiled sesame seeds and rotten grain,
even if taken to feed pigs, the pigs wouldn’t eat.
And you dare to compare it to Boss Gu’s grain, you’re truly blind as a bat!"
