"How are you talking with them?" Li Yi stood at the door of the room and asked Lin Wanru.
"It's been negotiated." Lin Wanru nodded, looked at him and said, "They will deliver the goods today, and they said that if they come to Qi again in the future, they will also cooperate with the Lin family."
There was still a hint of doubt on her face, the price the Lin family had to pay for cooperating with these foreign businessmen was too small, and it was almost a business that was sure to make money.
However, doing business involves taking certain risks, and there is no such thing as a steady profit. After the initial surprises and surprises, she quickly calmed down and began to think about some deeper things.
These foreign businessmen can indeed solve the difficulties of the Lin family. If they can obtain long-term cooperation with them, they can completely get rid of the Bai family, Ma family and Xu family, and the low price given by the other party will even make the Lin family pay a huge amount of money. Profits, everything, is beneficial to the Lin family.
However, is there really someone in this world who is selfless enough to give money to himself for nothing
The more this happened, the more she felt that those people must have some kind of plan. The bigger the profit they gave up, the bigger the plan, and it made her feel less at ease.
However, after discussing with those foreign businessmen just now, she began to feel unsure about this idea.
All the treaties related to cooperation are very clear, and after she read them word for word, she didn't find anything wrong.
These foreign merchants may be really short of money, so they dealt with those goods at a low price. In this way, the shopkeeper of the Liuli shop who eloped with his wife and sister has invisibly helped the Lin family a lot.
Thinking about it this way, the disgust in his heart actually weakened a little.
As if thinking of something, Lin Wanru suddenly looked up at him and asked, "Although there are not many jewelry stores in Fengzhou City, there are a few. Why did they find the Lin family?"
"These goods are not mine, how do I know why they chose the Lin family..."
"However, it may also be because those foreign businessmen are interested in sex, and the business is business. Miss Lin, be careful, and remember to beware of those crooks..."
Li Yi glanced at her and said, "Recently, the law and order in Fengzhou City seems to be not very good. In the past two days, officers and soldiers have often been seen outside arresting people... In short, Miss Lin, be careful in everything."
"That's because the censor from the capital is investigating corrupt officials. There has indeed been a lot of commotion in the past few days. I heard that they have obtained a magic method that can detect and detect corrupt officials in a very short period of time. …”
Lin Wanru couldn't continue talking, she glanced at Li Yi, and suddenly a strange expression appeared on her face.
Li Yi was stunned for a moment, then nodded, and said, "It's good to investigate corrupt officials. These corrupt officials know how to search for the people's fat and people's anointing, and prevent the people from living a good life. It's time to investigate them..."
Lin Wanru stared at him blankly, and said in a low voice, "Is it that night..."
"Hey, hey, what about this night and that night, you should pay attention to what the girls say, it's not good to be overheard, I don't know what you are talking about..." Li Yi waved his hand, turned and left: "I'm going back to cook See you, Miss Lin."
Lin Wanru stood where she was, flipping through the account books on the table, with doubts, confusion, and intertwined emotions on her face. When she finally raised her head and looked out the door, there was no one there.
…
What should come will always come, and no one can escape.
Maybe it's all predestined by God.
Li Yi hummed a light tune, walked into the yard, and looked up habitually.
The window of a room upstairs in the inn was open, and the old man surnamed Xu lived there temporarily.
Grandmaster Li Yi has met several of them, including Ruyi, the old man Chang, the Taoist nun, the second uncle, I don't know if it counts, and there is the "Old Freak Xu" upstairs.
I always thought that a grandmaster should be like a fairy, and with a wave of his hand, a powerful enemy would be wiped out in ashes, and then with a wave of his sleeves, he would leave without taking a trace of cloud...
This is the first time I have seen a master who eats white rabbits.
Miss Liu Er often does some activities in the yard. She is no different from normal people now, and a dozen or so normal people are definitely not her opponents.
Judging from the fact that he can still stand here well, it should be some time before Miss Liu Er fully recovers.
Li Yi walked into the kitchen, brought out the warm medicine, walked to the stone table, looked back at Miss Liu Er, and said, "Put down the sword first, it's time to drink the medicine."
…
"drink!"
"I offer a toast to Shopkeeper Xu."
"Hehe, Mr. Bai is being polite."
In the private room of a restaurant in the city, Bai Yu raised his wine glass, looked at the two men opposite, and said with a smile: "Master Ma, Master Xu, I would like to offer you a toast. Thank you both for this matter."
"You're welcome, you're welcome." A man with a short beard on his chin smiled and said, "The three of us are united in spirit to get to where we are today. It's a small matter that we should help each other."
Another person beside him said: "Besides, if Nephew Bai Xian takes down the Lin family, it will be a good thing for us."
The short-bearded man thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid that the Lin family will fight us to the end, and it will be troublesome."
"The Lin family shouldn't be so irrational. In the entire Fengzhou, except for the three of us, they have no way to purchase goods. If they really fight us, they will suffer even greater losses."
"That's not necessarily the case. Miss Lin is in power now. She is in charge of all matters related to the Lin family's business. You will know her temperament and she has many means. It's not impossible to fight us to the end."
Bai Yu cleared his throat and said, "Don't worry, both of you. Since I brought up this matter, I won't let you suffer. Without the source of goods, the Lin family won't be able to last long. We just need to wait patiently. What's the matter, my Bai family can eat all the sources of goods from the two families."
"So good..."
Both of them smiled and nodded, raised their glasses and said, "Drink, drink..."
The door was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and a man dressed as a clerk walked in and whispered something in the ear of the man with the short beard. The man with the short beard put down his wine glass and asked, "Really?"
The guy nodded sharply: "I'm waiting in the shop right now."
The short-bearded man blinked his eyes a few times, stood up, cupped his hands at Bai Yu and the other man, and said with a smile, "Brother Xu, Nephew Bai Xian, something happened suddenly in the shop. I'm sorry Ma."
"It's okay." Bai Yu nodded and said.
Watching him leave in a hurry, the man surnamed Xu and Bai Yu looked at each other with doubts in their eyes.
The man surnamed Xu glanced at him and asked, "Go and see?"
"Go." Bai Yu nodded and said.
Ma's family sells jade for a living, and they have several shops. They are not considered a wealthy merchant, but they can also be called a rich family, and they are well-known in Fengzhou City.
At this time, Shopkeeper Ma stepped into the shop in a hurry, and asked impatiently as soon as he entered the door: "Where is the glazed material?"
Inside the shop, several men in strange clothes stood there, and one of them was talking strange words to the shop assistant while making gestures.
On the street, Bai Yu and the man surnamed Xu were walking quickly towards this side.
