Ye Li was very satisfied with the people Ba Hai had recruited for him, and said, "Brother Ba Hai, I am sorry to bother you this time. I am very satisfied with the people you brought.
Ding Si, we have a lot of things to buy in our manor, so you can just buy them from Brother Ba Hai."
Ba Hai is a businessman who can sell anything. If he has a big customer like Ye Li, his income will increase significantly.
“Sir, are you serious? You want to buy the necessities for the manor from me!?”
Ba Hai was a little excited. He didn't expect that Ye Li would be willing to buy things from him.
After all, he is not a big businessman. His supplies are not as abundant as those of big merchants, and the prices are not too low. It is not very cost-effective for Ye Li to buy things from him.
This deal was a bit of a loss for Ye Li, but it was a big profit for Ba Hai.
The most important point is that if Ye Li can purchase what he needs for the manor from him on a long-term basis, his identity as a small businessman will be able to grow within a few months.
Although he couldn't become a big businessman, he was definitely much bigger than before.
"I always keep my word. Since I said I would buy from you, it must be true."
Ye Li replied with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Ba Hai couldn't help but rub his hands and giggled for a long time, then he suddenly came to his senses and said to Ye Li in a serious manner: "Sir, I will tell you the truth.
It will definitely not be too cheap for you if you purchase from me. After all, I am just a small businessman. The quantity I sell is limited, so I cannot lower the purchase price.
In the short term, the price you pay from me will definitely be higher than purchasing from some large chambers of commerce.
But... But if you insist on getting the goods from me, then I promise you that in two months at most, I will be able to lower the price to the same level as the Great Chamber of Commerce."
Ye Li looked at Ba Hai with interest. It was rare to find such an honest businessman.
"You don't have to worry about the price. I know you can't get a very low price now, but I also know that I can rest assured when I buy things from you.
Now in Dongfang County, the three mayors control everything. If I go to the nearby Chamber of Commerce to make a purchase, I may not be able to buy cheaply or buy good things.
Rather than letting those guys make the money, it’s better for you to make it. At least you can be considered one of us.”
Ye Li said with a smile.
Hearing Ye Li's words, Ba Hai showed a look of joy on his face. He glanced at Ye Li, then suddenly knelt down and said, "A gentleman will die for his friend. It is my honor that you look up to me, sir.
From now on, if you have any orders, just tell me, and I will do whatever it takes."
Upon hearing this, Ye Li reached out his hand and helped the other person up, saying: "I won't let you do anything risking your life, you are just a small businessman now, so just do your business well.
When I have complete control over Dongfang County, you will do some big business for me and set up your own chamber of commerce.
Only then will you be qualified to go through fire and water!!!"
Hearing Ye Li's words, Ba Hai quickly bowed and said respectfully: "Yes, sir, I understand!!!"
Bashan still didn't quite understand the situation, but as he listened from the side he knew that Ye Li seemed to be planning to use Bahai.
Without even thinking, Ba Shan knelt in front of Ye Li and said, "Sir, you are so kind and righteous that you can take me in without holding any grudges and are willing to use me as your brother.
From now on, I will serve you wholeheartedly and will never have second thoughts."
Ye Li laughed, stretched out his hand to help him up, and said: "Okay, don't kneel to me anymore, no words can be more sincere than actual actions.
You are my farmhand now, and the first farmhand to join, so I appoint you as the steward of the manor, responsible for the external affairs of the manor, including repairs, procurement, cleaning, etc.
From now on, I will find someone to take care of the internal affairs, and the staffing of my manor will be almost complete.
Now I will temporarily let you take care of the internal affairs, Ding Si, and you will also be in charge of the accounts and other matters."
Hearing Ye Li's words, Ding Si hurriedly said, "Yes, Master, I am capable of completing the housework and accounting for you, so don't worry."
After spending some time together, Ding Si has realized that the person he is following is definitely not an ordinary person. Not only is he extremely powerful, but he is also extremely intelligent.
Moreover, Ye Li is a humble person and does not put on airs with them. Following such a person is definitely his dream.
After giving instructions about the manor's affairs, Ye Li did not stay any longer, but went back to his room to practice.
The rest of the work was left to Qian San and Ding Si.
The next morning, Ye Li left the house and prepared to meet Wang Yue.
He had already seen that among the three mayors, Wang Yue was the one with the most say. As usual, Ding Si and Qian San accompanied Ye Li and went with him to Dongzhong Town where Wang Yue was.
After about half an hour, they arrived at the gate of Wang Yue's mansion in Dongzhong Town.
After Qian San stopped his horse, Ding Si took the lead and arrived at the door of Wang Yue's mansion to talk to the servants.
After informing the other party of their identities and origins, the other party immediately smiled.
"It's the Lord, please come in, my master, Master Liu and Master Zhang are waiting for you inside!!!"
The servant led the way for Ye Li and the other two as he spoke.
The enthusiasm on the other party's face made Ye Li and the other two a little confused. According to what they had thought before, Wang Yue should have asked his servants to give them some respect.
The three of them followed the servants and quickly entered the mansion compound. Ye Li casually looked around Wang Yue's mansion. Although the decoration inside looked monotonous in color, it seemed very simple.
But Ye Li knew that these decorative materials were definitely valuable.
Wang Yue makes a lot of money every year in Dongfang County, and his family also runs its own business, so the Wang family is even richer than Ye Li imagined.
"I didn't expect his place to be much more luxurious than our manor!"
Ding Si glanced around and said in a low voice.
Qian San was also observing, but he couldn't see anything at all, so he could only listen to the conversation between Ye Li and Ding Si.
Ye Li said: "Well, Wang Yue should have made a lot of money, and the previous taxes were probably embezzled by the mayors.
If I were to ask him for taxes now, it would be like asking for his life, it would be strange if he would cooperate!"
As they were talking, the servant leading the way had already brought the two of them to a large house.
"My Lord, and the other two Lords, this is my master's reception room. The three masters are inside at the moment."
As the servant spoke, he pushed open the wooden door of the reception room. Ye Li saw Wang Yue and the other two sitting inside. At a glance, all three of them had brilliant smiles on their faces.
