Chapter 96 Fair competition, the highest bidder wins
"What's the rush?"
Li Yang smiled brighter and brighter, and even brought out a stool, sat down in front of the door leisurely, looked at them and said:
"Anyway, our task today is to set up the stage, and then find a supporting role to let the protagonist sing the climax of the play."
"As for buying drinks! There's no need to think too much about it, we won't be able to receive it today."
"What do you mean?" Su Qianying frowned, her face full of confusion.
But Li Yang didn't explain anything, he just held his chin and waited leisurely for all the villagers to pick up drinks.
For poor villagers, they don't dare to delay even half a minute if they can make money.
Whether you are busy farming or not, the money you get is not as important.
So after we got home from the meeting, we almost didn’t stop for a while, so we immediately found the drinks we had saved last year and couldn’t wait to jump over them.
So in less than half an hour, almost everyone in the village, men, women, old and young, gathered in front of Li Yang's gate.
Fortunately, although there is no grain drying farm in front of Li Yang's house, land is the least valuable in rural areas.
There is a large courtyard at the door of almost every house, and the Aimi's houses are quite far apart. Although there are three to four hundred people in the village, even the scattered ones are squeezed in.
At this time, Li Tianqing and his son stood up and shouted loudly:
"Come on, come on, just in time, we also found a wine merchant who entrusted us to come to the village to collect it. The price is also three times higher. I want all your wine!"
"Don't worry, we pay you in cash. As long as you sell wine, you will never be short of half a penny."
"Don't be stunned, everyone, hurry up and start weighing!"
Looking at the team of Li Tianqing and his son who came to pick up the blessing, everyone looked confused.
Su Qianyi was thinking about Li Yang's words. Although she was angry at what Li Tianqing and his son had done, she also wanted to know what Li Yang was going to do.
Seeing that the atmosphere was almost complete, Li Yang stood up, as if he had completed his task, and said dryly to Li Tianqing and his son:
"We all agreed that the scar would forget the pain. It's only been less than half an hour, right? The scar hasn't even healed yet, so you've forgotten the pain?"
"You came to my door to cut off my beard. Are you doing this intentionally to upset me? Do you want to taste my fist again?"
Although Li Yang said it dryly, Li Tianqing, who had been beaten many times, could not help but feel frightened when he heard this. He instinctively took two steps back and did not dare to speak for a while.
Li Hongshan still has a good psychological quality. Even though he is full of burdens, he remains calm on the surface. He even pretends to be affectionate and speaks seriously:
"Li Yang, what you said is wrong. We are fellow villagers, and we are related to each other. How can we just start beating and killing each other?"
"What's more, you yourself said before that as a village cadre, you must always make some contribution to the economic development of the village. Aren't I doing this for the big guys?"
"You just said that I'm going to cut you off, which I can't bear!"
Li Yang felt a little unhappy with this kind of blind argument, even though he knew he was playing along.
After thinking for a moment, his eyes covered by black cloth turned around silently.
Then, the corner of his mouth curled up into a smile with unknown meaning, and he spoke righteously:
"You still don't admit it? You all came to my door to grab business, and you still say that you are not a cut-off, so what else can you be?"
Faced with the accusation, Li Hongshan returned to the appearance of an old fox, pointed at the ground underground and said with a smile:
"Li Yang! You are still too young. Although your family belongs to your family, the land in front of your family does not belong to your family, but to the village collective."
"Since it belongs to the village collective, it belongs to everyone present. Naturally, anyone can come and step on it."
"Besides, we used real money to buy wine today, so it's not a cut-off. It's just fair competition at most. Is it possible that you can't afford to lose?"
The concept of village collective is actually very vague. Most villagers will classify the land in front of their homes as their own. This has become an unspoken rule, so no one will ever question it.
But if it is really true, it does belong to the village collective, and there is nothing wrong with Li Hongshan taking it out now.
It's like he's clearly showing off his conspiracy and people can't find fault with him. The most they can say is that he's shameless.
And this method is also Li Hongshan's favorite method.
Therefore, Li Yang was not surprised at all, but in order to be realistic in the opera and singing, he still suppressed an angry look and gritted his teeth and said:
"Li Hongshan, you really did everything you could to deal with me and the village chief!"
"Okay, since you insist on cutting off my words, there's nothing to say. The one with the highest price will get it!"
"Come on, come on, I will fight with you to the end today. Anyway, this business cannot be done, and the village chief and I have to get out of the village. What else is there to worry about!"
After finishing speaking, he suddenly raised his voice, stretched out four fingers towards everyone, and said angrily:
"As the saying goes, if a person fights for a breath, the Buddha or the monk will burn a stick of incense. Today is a conflict between me and the village party secretary's family. It has nothing to do with you. Just think carefully about who you sell the wine to."
"Now, I'm going to bid first. Didn't the village chief say before that the price we charge for wine will be 30% higher than the market price?"
"Now I declare that as long as you sell the wine to the village chief, we are willing to pay 40% higher than the market price!"
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar on the scene.
You know, the previous price, which was 30% higher than the market price, had already reached 11 yuan.
Now it's one level higher, so it's basically 13 yuan.
Such a price is unprecedentedly high.
Moreover, the drinks delivered on site weighed at least a thousand kilograms, and they were all priced at this price, so the difference was only 10,000 yuan!
How could everyone not be shocked by this?
However, Li Hongshan, who had always been unyielding, suddenly smiled and said:
"Li Yang, if I remember correctly, the person who wants to collect the wine is Village Chief Su, right?"
"You are just a helper at best, but now you are transferred to ask for a price increase. Do you have the qualifications?"
"Is it possible that you plan to pay for it yourself?"
When he said this, Li Hongshan looked at Li Yang with an inquiring look on his face, and everything in his words revealed a hint of temptation.
Of course Li Yang could hear it, and immediately sneered: "I can put it on myself, and it only costs ten thousand yuan! It's not like I can't afford it."
"Anyway, I'll put my words here today. Although the highest price offered by the village chief is 11 yuan per catty of wine, I have money and I can pay for it!"
"If you have the ability, you can also increase the price!"
In terms of money, Li Tianqing has no say at all. The person who really manages money is Li Hongshan.
After hearing Li Yang's words, Li Hongshan's face suddenly flashed with excitement, but he quickly concealed it.
He opened the snakeskin bag he brought over, revealing a large red banknote inside, and said with a smile:
"That's a coincidence. The client I'm talking to is most in need of money, and he just wants the wine from our Peach Wine Village."
“Since the one with the highest price gets it, I’ll increase the price by saying, if you pay 14 yuan per catty, I’ll pay 15 yuan per catty!”
"Then I'll give you 16 yuan!" Li Yang said without thinking.
Li Hongshan was not to be outdone: “17 yuan!”
"Then I'll just give you 19 yuan. If you have the ability, you can add more!" Li Yang pretended to be angry and took out a large stack of money from his pocket, making rattling noises while gritting his teeth and saying:
"If you have the ability, you can increase it to 20 yuan. If you dare to increase it, I will give it to you!"
