“Hehe, thank you, Brother Lin.”

“Let’s go. We’ve seen enough. Let’s go out and talk to those villagers.”

“Okay.”

The two of them walked to the grain depot and saw a black Nissan sedan parked not far away. Many people surrounded it.

Standing in the middle of the crowd were two middle-aged men, one old and one young.

One of them was in his forties with a cigarette in his mouth, and the other was in his twenties. Although he was slovenly, he looked much younger.

He was talking to the people from Dongsan County.

The middle-aged man’s name was Gao Dexi, and the other young man’s name was Yu Mingming.

They were from Sanyang Agricultural Development Co., Ltd. in Yuhang City.

The company had a special department in charge of collecting food. Gao Dexi was one of the employees, and Yu Ming was his subordinate.

“Looks like the grain collectors are here.”

“Let’s go over and see what’s going on.”

The two of them went over and realized that Gao Dexi was surrounded and was talking to the people from Dongsan County.

“You’re finally here. I’ve been waiting for you all morning.”

“Has the price been agreed? We’ve already rejected many people and kept it for you. You have to give us a good price.”

The people from Dongsan County looked at each other and chattered away. The scene was chaotic, and Lin Yi couldn’t hear what they were saying.

“Stop, stop, stop. Everyone, calm down.” Gao Dexi said.

“I went back and applied to the company. The price of corn will be 1,900 per ton. The price of soybeans will be 4,700 per ton. This price should be fine.”

“All? The price is only ten yuan higher per ton than others.”

“Be content, our company didn’t show much interest in the grain from Dongsan County. This price is already quitegood.”

The people from Dongsan County were a bit conflicted. They had waited for so long, and the price hadn’t increased by much. This wasn’t very satisfactory.

Moreover, after so many days, a lot of the food had dried up. He still had to bear the final price difference. In other words, they might even end up losing money.

Lin Yi compared this to the price Liang Ruoxu offered him. The difference in the price of corn was 700 per ton, and difference for soybeans was 1,190 per ton.

This was a significant gap.

Taking into account the cost of farming, if they sold it just like that, they probably wouldn’t make much money.

What a scam.

“Think about it.” Gao Dexi said.

“The price of food now is only temporary. If you don’t agree today, you might not get this price tomorrow. When the price of food drops in a few days, don’t blame me for not reminding you.”

“Can’t it go any higher?”

“Don’t even think about raising the price. I’d be pleased if the price doesn’t drop.” Gao Dexi extinguished the cigarette butt.

The people of Dongsan County began to discuss among themselves.

They all wanted to sell it at a high price, but the other party only offered this amount. There seemed to be no room for negotiation.

If later, the price dropped again, they would suffer a huge loss.

Moreover, such a thing had happened before. They might really end up suffering for their greed greedy.

“Sijin, what do you think of this price?”

“It’s nothing special.” Li Sijin said.

“It’s too low. It barely leaves any profit for the farmers.”

Lin Yi nodded and looked at the villages.

“Alright, everyone, don’t be conflicted. I’ll give you a price. I’ll get someone to collect the food.”

Lin Yi’s words attracted the attention of everyone present.

They felt that this person looked a little familiar, but they couldn’t remember his name.

Seeing Lin Yi suddenly stand up, Gao Dexi and Yu Mingming subconsciously looked at him.

Unexpectedly, someone suddenly jumped out to disrupt the situation.

“Young man, how much are you offering?” Someone asked.

“The price of corn will be 2,600 per ton. The price of soybeans will be 5,890 per ton. This price should be fine.”

Huh?

Hearing this number, Li Sijin was stunned.

This was an astronomical price!

Not to mention Dongsan County, even in the northeast, it was impossible to get such a high price.

Li Sijin wasn’t the only one who was stunned. The people from Dongsan County, Gao Dexi, and Yu Mingming were all stunned.

“Young man, what nonsense are you talking about? 2,600 per ton of of corn and 5,890 per ton of soybeans?

“You have to watch what you say.”

“Do you think I’m spouting nonsense?”

“I’d believe you if you raised it 180 yuan a ton,” Gao Dexi said.

“But now, you are increasing the price for corn by 700 and the price of soybeans by more than 1,000. If that’s not a joke, what is?”

“What are you talking about? If you can’t afford a high price, why can’t you let others buy it?”

“It’s impossible that you are genuinely offering this.”

“Well, that has nothing to do with you, right?”

With that, Lin Yi looked at the people from Dongsan County. “The price has been set. Does anyone have any questions?”

“Can you really give us such a high price?”

The people from Dongsan County were also a little uncertain because this price was too high. In their opinion, it was even a little ridiculous.

They had never dreamed of such a beautiful thing.

“I can.”

“Are you sure you’re not lying?”

“Why would 1 bother lying to you?” Lin Yi said.

“If you agree, we’ll send over the trucks tomorrow to collect the food. It’ll only take a day. We won’t wait until it expires.”

“Alright, alright, alright. We’re willing to sell it. We’ll wait for you here tomorrow.”

“Then it’s settled.”

With that, Lin Yi called Li Sijin and got into the car to leave.

After the crop sales was resolved, the villagers did not want to waste any more time here. All of them were in high spirits and even went to the county to drink.

“Hey, hey, hey, why are you guys leaving?” Gao Dexi called out. “We’re not done talking yet.”

“The price they offered is higher than yours. I can’t sell it to you.”

“You people are really short-sighted,” Gao Dexi said.

“Why don’t you think about it? When has the price of corn and soybeans ever been so high? There must be something fishy happening for them to offer you such a high price!”

“Well…”

The villagers stopped in their tracks. Gao Dexi poured a basin of cold water on them, calming them down.

They were also a little puzzled as to why they would get such a high price for their grain.

They were all people who had lived a good number of years, and they didn’t believe in good things falling from the sky.

“Then what do you mean?”

“Is there a need to ask? He’s obviously lying to you.” Gao Dexi said.

“If I used a high price to fool you, I might not give you any money after I collect the food.”

“That’s impossible.”

“Why not?” Gao Dexi said.

“People nowadays are all so evil. If it’s not to cheat you of your money, why would he offer such a high price? Is there something wrong with your brain? Do you have money but nowhere to spend it?”

“Well…”

The villagers stopped talking. What Gao Dexi said made sense.

There had been stories of people who could not resist temptation and were cheated of their money.

“How about this? 1’11 go back and apply for my offer to increase by 40 yuan per ton of corn and 90 yuan per ton of soybeans.”

“If you think the price is alright, come here at five o’clock tomorrow morning. I’ll start collecting the grain then..”
