Siheyuan: With the system in hand, the world is mine
Chapter 157 You Want Too Much
Seeing that this plan didn't work, Wang Haoran pursed his lips helplessly, and with a determined heart, he put on an appearance of being at the mercy of others and said, "Then what do you want, old man? Just tell me the truth! I always worry about owing favors to people. Just tell me, if I can do it, I will definitely do it. If I really can't do it, there is nothing I can do."
Hearing this, Mr. Xiao laughed heartily, waved his hands quickly, and said with a smile: "Yes, it can be done. No one can do this except you. My request is not high. It is enough for me to leave 1800 tons of grain every month."
"How much? 1800 tons? Old Xiao, are you still asleep? You want so much right away? Do you think these are leaves? You can pick them up easily?" Although Grandpa Lin had guessed Grandpa Xiao's intention, he couldn't help but be surprised by Grandpa Xiao's huge request.
"Mr. Lin, why are you so anxious? Young Wang hasn't spoken yet, why are you so anxious?" Mr. Xiao widened his eyes and looked at Mr. Lin with a frown.
"Grandpa Xiao, I do have the amount you mentioned, but I can't give you all of it! Otherwise, what if other old men come to me to ask for food and I can't give it to them?" Wang Haoran frowned, secretly groaning in his heart.
He knew that what Mr. Lin said was that other old men from other war zones would come to him to sell food, and this was no joke. If each war zone gave 1800 tons, the total would be 5400 tons!
Even if other theaters don't give so much, at least 1000 tons or more! Otherwise, wouldn't I offend people?
Moreover, if it were really given, even if one had already worked hard to open up wasteland and grow crops in one's own space, the current output would only be about 6,000 tons per month.
Although it was enough to supply the five war zones, he still had to save some food to expand external channels and build relationships! Otherwise, how could he build a huge business empire in the future?
Thinking of this, Wang Haoran quickly explained: "Grandpa Xiao, you want too much. I am really embarrassed! Look..."
"See! Didn't I tell you that you can leave now?" When Mr. Lin heard Wang Haoran's words, he immediately understood his difficulties. He turned to Mr. Xiao and said that he would kick Mr. Xiao out if it was too late.
When Mr. Xiao heard this, a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face. Then Mr. Xiao pressed Mr. Lin's hand hard and said, "Hey... Old Lin, don't be impatient. Why are you so impulsive? Wang Xiao said that he couldn't give me all of it, but he didn't say he wouldn't give it to me."
After saying that, Mr. Xiao looked at Wang Haoran expectantly, "Wang boy, just tell me how much food you can give me!"
Hearing this, Wang Haoran looked at Mr. Xiao's expression again, and after a moment's hesitation, he said, "Grandpa Xiao, do you think this will work? For now, I can only give you 1000 tons of grain per month. If there is extra grain later, I will give you some more."
"How much? 1000 tons?" Mr. Xiao was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth. Then his whole body was shaking with excitement. He opened his eyes wide and couldn't believe his ears.
When Wang Haoran saw Mr. Xiao so excited, he couldn't help feeling guilty.
He thought that Mr. Xiao was not satisfied with the amount, so he quickly explained: "Grandpa Xiao, I'm really sorry, my ability is limited at the moment, and I can only give you 1000 tons. But please believe me, if there is more food in the future, I will definitely give priority to giving you some more."
After hearing the confirmation again, Mr. Xiao tried hard to suppress the blush on his face, sighed pretentiously, and said, "Okay, then it's one thousand tons!" His tone seemed a little helpless, but his heart was already so excited that he was about to fly.
In fact, before coming here, Mr. Xiao had already prepared himself mentally. As long as he could get 500 tons of grain every month, plus the grain allocated by the state, he could basically solve the problem of food and clothing.
But at this moment, he never expected that he could actually exceed the task. At this moment, Mr. Xiao was extremely glad that he had called out 1,800 tons at the beginning. If he had only called out about 1,000 tons just now, it would have been a big loss.
Meanwhile, Mr. Lin at the side was so angry at the number Wang Haoran said that his whole body was shaking. He pointed at Wang Haoran who looked guilty and said unhappily, "You are not guilty at all, kid. Do you know that if you give 1000 tons, plus the food allocated by the country every month, the soldiers in your grandfather Xiao's war zone can't even finish it. There will be some left over."
When Mr. Xiao saw that he was exposed by Mr. Lin, he was a little embarrassed. He looked away and didn't dare to look at Wang Haoran directly. After all, this matter was indeed not very authentic. If Mr. Lin hadn't pointed it out, he really planned to continue playing dumb. But since he had been exposed, he could only bite the bullet and face reality.
Wang Haoran suddenly realized something, patted his head and said, "I forgot that the country still needs to allocate food. I was careless." After saying that, Wang Haoran looked straight at Mr. Xiao, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Seeing this, Old Man Xiao quickly spoke up, "Stop it, kid. A real man should stick to his guns. Don't let me look down on you. Although I can't return the food to you, if you have any problems in the future, come to me and I will do my best to help you."
Wang Haoran nodded helplessly after hearing this. He knew that he had suffered a loss this time. But he also understood that things had already happened and could not be undone.
Besides, since Mr. Xiao had said so, he couldn't continue to pester her. Fortunately, Mr. Xiao also made him a promise, which made him feel better.
At this time, Mr. Lin came over, patted Wang Haoran on the shoulder, and comforted him: "Boy, you usually look smart. What happened today? You must remember to be careful when dealing with these old guys. They can't sit in this position without ability. Don't be sold out by others and count money for others."
Wang Haoran heard this and nodded with deep understanding.
"Okay, since it has come to this, let's take this opportunity today to resolve the supply issues in the other war zones! Otherwise, I'd find it troublesome if they come to me every day." Seeing that Wang Haoran was fine, Grandpa Lin looked at Wang Haoran and said.
"Okay, Grandpa Lin, please call the special forces over! I will explain the quota of supplies to them." Wang Haoran nodded in agreement after hearing this.
Seeing that Wang Haoran agreed, Mr. Lin asked his secretary to go down and make the phone call, and Mr. Lin took this opportunity to tell Wang Haoran about those people who spoke for Wang Haoran at the meeting.
Secondly, Grandpa Lin told Wang Haoran roughly how much supplies the four upcoming war zone commanders would need, in order to avoid what happened to Grandpa Xiao just now. Seeing this, Grandpa Xiao would occasionally interject. After all, he was quite happy to be tricked.
