Chapter 1504: Collecting Food
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In an instant, Li Zhangfa became everyone’s target. All the spearheads were pointed at him.
“Li Changfa, this is all your fault. You have to make up for the difference in price!”
“That’s too much.” Li Zhangfa said.
“I wasn’t stopping you. 1 just suggested that you don’t sell it. Why should you blame me?”
“If you didn’t advise us, we would have sold the grain on hand long ago. We wouldn’t have to accept the lowered price!”
Everyone began to point fingers at Li Zhangfa, wanting him to compensate them.
“Alright, alright. We all know each other. There’s no need to do this.”
“Blind w.a.n.g, stop gloating. Your family’s grain has been sold for a high price, but we haven’t sold anything yet.”
The people who were scolded were not angry. They smiled and looked at the people who did not sell their grain earlier.
After all, they had already sold their own share of grain, so they were not fl.u.s.tered. They just had to watch the show.
Creak…
The sound of brakes were heard as Lin Yi stopped the car in front of Li Zhangfa.
“Dad, what’s wrong?”
Zhou Feng was slightly surprised to see Lin Yi and Li Sijin get out of the car.
He did not expect the two of them to be here.
However, what attracted Zhou Feng’s attention the most was the tall woman who stepped out last.
It was as if there was a powerful aura around her which instantly caused the surrounding noise to quieten down.
They all looked at her.
Li Sijin secretly curled her lips. Brother Lin’s girlfriend was really amazing. She didn’t even do anything and she had already stunned these people.
“Dad, what happened?”
Li Zhangfa sighed and told Lin Yi and the others what had just happened.
At this moment, everyone understood that the person who said that he wanted to buy the grain at a high price was Lin Yi!
Among these people, some had already recognized Lin Yi and knew that he was the director of Dongsan County’s Office of Poverty Alleviation.
Lin Yi raised his eyebrows and looked at the people who had wanted to argue with Li Zhangfa.
“Was he holding a knife to your neck and not letting you sell it?”
Seeing Lin Yi’s stern gaze, no one dared to speak. They only dared to look at him out of the corner of their eyes.
“You were bluffing. We’ve all been fooled.”
“What did I lie to you about?”
“How could Huaxia Grain Reserves come to Dongsan County to collect grain here? It’s impossible.”
“Who told you it’s impossible?” Lin Yi said.
“Him!”
Everyone looked at Zhou Feng and said.
“Lin Yi, I didn’t say anything wrong, right? You’re indeed bluffing.”
Because of what had happened before, Zhou Feng didn’t dare to be so arrogant in front of Lin Yi.
“Why would those people come to Dongsan County to collect grain?”
“If Lingyun Group can come here to build a factory, why can’t people from Huaxia Grain Reserve also come?”
“That’s not the same thing at all, okay?” Zhou Feng said.
“Lingyun Group built a factory here because of good policies. They could obtain benefits, but what benefits could Huaxia Grain Reserve gain by coming here?” “Looks like you guys don’t believe me.”
“We just don’t believe that,” said the lean man from before.
“Director Zhou already said that the city offers prices of 2010 yuan and 5090 yuan respectively. How can your price be so high?”
Lin Yi looked at his watch and didn’t say anything else. The trucks from the grain reserve was about to arrive.
“I’m not supposed to do these things. I just wanted to help you guys earn more this year. I can’t do anything if you don’t believe me,” Lin Yi said.
“Now, if you’re willing to sell the food to me, come here. If you’re not willing to sell, leave. No one will force you.”
Soon, a large group of people split into two camps.
About fifty people stood on Lin Yi’s side.
Some were Li Sijin’s immediate family members, and the rest were farmers who had gone to the northeast with Lin Yi.
They all admired Lin Yi from the bottom of their hearts and believed that he wouldn’t lie.
Zhou Feng and Gao Dexi laughed. The former said,
“Even at this point, he’s still causing trouble. I wonder what he’s thinking.”
“There’s something wrong with those people’s brains. We’ve already made things very clear, but they still believe him. After they’re deceived, they’ll have to find a place to cry.”
Despite hearing the ridicule, Lin Yi didn’t take it seriously and said to Li Sijin,
“Sijin, go and count the amount of grain in each household. This will make it easier for us to pay the money later.”
“Got it, Brother Lin.”
As there weren’t many people and everyone was very cooperative, it didn’t take long for Li Sijin to calculate the exact number.
“Many of them came on behalf of their families. We have 24,900 tons of corn and 7,800 tons of soybean.”
“Remember the amount. I’ll split the money for them later.”
Gao Dexi and Yu Mingming looked at Lin Yi and Li Sijin as if they were watching a show.
“This liar can really make it seem quite real.”
“Indeed, I’m a little impressed by him.” Gao Dexi said,
“If I hadn’t been in this industry for so many years, I would have been easily deceived by him.”
“We’re not in a hurry anyway. Let’s wait a little longer and see how he cleans up the mess.”
“I was thinking the same. If we find out that he’s lying later, we’ll help and block him. Although there are only more than 50 people on the other side, it’ll be more than enough to beat him up.”
“Tsk, tsk, tsk. I’m looking forward to it.”
Creak…
Creak…
Creak…
As the two of them spoke, a large truck stopped at the entrance of the granary.
At the front was an Audi A6, which seemed to be the person in charge of the convoy.
This scene attracted everyone’s attention. From the looks of it, they were here to collect food.
Seeing that the car had stopped, Lin Yi called out to Li Sijin and the two of them walked over.
A middle-aged man and woman got out of the car. When they saw Lin Yi, the middle-aged man took the initiative to extend his hand.
“h.e.l.lo, Director Lin. I’m the person-in-charge of the central food storage in Yangcheng. My name is Zhang Bin, and this is my colleague, Zhao Na.”
“h.e.l.lo, this is my colleague, Li Sijin.”
“h.e.l.lo.”
The four of them shook hands as a form of greeting.
Zhang Bin looked ahead. “Everyone should be here, right? Let’s start now.”
“You guys should take a break after driving for so long. It doesn’t matter if it takes a while.”
“It’s fine. Business is more important.” Zhang Bin said.
“Director Lin, do you want to cash the cheque at the bank or take cash?”
“Give it to me in cash.” Lin Yi smiled.
“These guy don’t even know how to cash a check. They’ll think that we’re liars.”
“That works too.” Zhang Bin said.
“We’ve already contacted the local bank. The armored truck will be here soon.”
“Alright, let’s start now,” Lin Yi said.
“But an issue arose midway. You might not be able to collect that much food.”
Zhang Bin looked around and realized that everyone’s expressions were not right.
“It doesn’t matter. I’ll take as much as you can give.”
With that said, Zhang Bin looked at Zhao Na and said,
“Little Zhao, no matter how much grain we collect today, the price will be the same as before. 2,700 per ton of corn and 5,890 per ton of soybean.”
“Got it..”
