Zhu Nao

In the morning, after having breakfast, Zhu Nao went out to the market with Jing Zhe.He wandered to a stall selling wheat straw and chatted with the stall owner.

Zhu Nao asked, "How do you sell the straw?"

The stall owner raised three fingers: "One basket of three taels of silver. If you buy more, I will give you a cheap price, four baskets of ten taels of silver."

Zhu Nao didn't intend to pay, but he didn't go away either, chatting with the stall owner one after another.

"It's all risen to three taels? The price has risen really fast."

"Yes. I heard that this thing can be used as medicine. It has powerful medicinal effects and can prolong life. Recently, merchants in the city are accepting this, so the price is getting more expensive every day." The stall owner said, "If you want Buy it, I advise you to sell it early. Buy it early and it will be cheaper. It will be collected later, and you may not be able to buy it if you have money."

Zhu Nao smiled and said, "I won't buy it. It's too expensive and not worth it."

Zhu Nao is always cheerful and cheerful, and he doesn't have any pretensions in life. The traffickers and pawns in the city have a good relationship with him.Since Jun Nao didn't make a big fanfare when he hoarded the wheat straw, only those merchants who sent people to follow him secretly got the news, but these small traders didn't know about it, so the stall owner advocated the wheat straw to Jun Nao.He saw that Zhu Nao had no intention of buying it, so he stopped fooling around.The two chatted for a while.Chatting and chatting, the stall owner became interested, put aside the rhetoric, and gradually spoke the truth.

"In the past, no one wanted this thing, and I don't know what happened this year. Suddenly it was said that it could be used as medicine, and the medicinal effect was quite mysterious. So the price is so ridiculously expensive. It's really strange."

Zhu Nao rubbed his chin: "It's really strange. If there is such a prescription, why haven't I heard of it before? Isn't it rumored?"

"Who knows." The vendor curled his lips, "Whether it's true or not, even if it's true, how many taels of silver will you spend to buy a basket of wheat straw?? You can pull it off!... Hey, I mean it. Although I was fooling around just now If you buy it, isn’t it that I want to earn your money? Who doesn’t want to earn money!... But in short, it’s a good thing that you didn’t spend this unjustly money. Let me tell you the truth, I think from the bottom of my heart——who will buy this thing? Who is stupid!"

Junao was amused by him.He patted the basket of the stall owner, and said, "If you have more, sell them as soon as possible."

The stall owner was slightly taken aback.He does have some at home. After all, the price of wheat straw has been rising recently. He is afraid that he will make less money if he sells it early, so he only brings out a small amount every day.He also knew that Zhu Nao was good at doing business, so he hurriedly asked, "How do you say that?"

Zhu Nao smiled: "People don't stay stupid all the time, do they?"

The stall owner was stunned for a moment, suddenly realized, and nodded again and again: "You are right!"

Soon, the fool came.

When Li Shen brought people to the market, he saw Zhu Nao wandering in front of the stall selling wheat straw.His heart sank, and he stepped forward quickly.

Walking in front of Zhu Nao, Li Shen said with a half-smile: "Hey, isn't this the 'Prince' of Zhu?" Every time he would pronounce the word 'Prince' exaggeratedly, for fear that others would not be able to hear it. His ridicule and disdain.

Zhu Nao greeted him with a smile: "Brother Li, good morning."

Jing Zhe took a step forward, staring at Li Shen vigilantly.Once Li Shen made a move that was unfavorable to Zhu Nao, he would take action immediately.This boy has eaten and slept well recently, his body has become much stronger, and his arms have muscle lines.

Under the threat of Jing Zhe, Li Shen couldn't help taking a step back. In order to regain his place, he snorted before opening his mouth: "Junao, are you here to buy straw?"

Zhu Nao just smiled, noncommittal.

Li Shen frowned fiercely and stared at him.Knowing that Zhu Nao may have a mysterious prescription in his hand, no one wants to get it more than Li Shen.After all, as a drug dealer, he is the one who can benefit the most.However, if he asked directly, Zhu Nao would definitely not say anything.With a brainstorm, he thought of the aggressive method.

"I heard people say that you have a prescription in your hand, and you can use wheat straw as medicine to prolong your life..." Li Shen said coldly, "I don't believe it. It's probably because you, a fool, are bragging again. I said you wouldn't be making up a Is Zhang Fake Fangzi planning to bluff and deceive you?"

He thought that if Zhu Nao really had such a prescription in his hand, sooner or later he would use it to make money.Since he wanted to make money, he had to make people believe that his prescriptions worked, otherwise who would dare to buy his medicines?So he deliberately said that Jun Nao was lying, hoping to push Jun Nao into a hurry and find someone to verify the prescription, then he would have a way to get the prescription earlier.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Nao was so innocent: "The prescription for prolonging life? Who did Brother Li listen to? I don't have such a thing."

Li Shen was taken aback, and looked at him suspiciously for a moment.He thought that Zhu Nao was pretending to be stupid, so he continued to provoke: "I guess you don't have one either. If anyone has this kind of prescription, they should show it to all the doctors in the city to test it! If the prescription is true, someone will pay for it." Buy it. But if the recipe is fake...huh! I, Li Shen, will never let anyone be fooled!"

Zhu Nao took it for granted: "It should be so. If there is such a prescription, I would like to open my eyes."

Li Shen: "..."

Zhu Nao's performance was so sincere that Li Shen was completely confused.Is Zhu Nao unwilling to admit it, or is there really no such prescription?But if it wasn't for the purpose of medicine, what was his intention to buy wheat straw in such a big way?

He panicked in his heart, so he simply gave up the aggressive method and detours, and asked directly what was in his heart: "Then you bought so much wheat straw, what do you want to do?!"

He thought that Jun Nao would continue to pretend to be crazy, but he didn't expect that Jun Nao didn't hide anything, and replied straightforwardly: "Me? I want to buy a few acres of land this year and raise a few more livestock by the way. So I went to the field to collect some straw .”

After a pause, he explained patiently: "Brother Li has never been involved in farming, so he probably doesn't know. Although wheat straw cannot be eaten by humans, it can be used to feed pigs, cattle and sheep, and can also be used as fertilizer to enhance soil fertility. Shi Over-fertilized land will produce stronger crops."

Li Shen: "..."

He almost vomited blood.No matter how he doesn't touch farming, he also knows that wheat straw can be used to feed pigs and fertilize!Does Junao think he is a three-year-old child? !When he asked this question, what he wanted to know was not how ordinary people would use wheat straw, but how Zhu Nao planned to use wheat straw! !

However, he also saw that Junao didn't intend to tell him the truth, and if he continued to entangle, Junao would see through his intentions, and the loss outweighed the gain.

So he forced a smile, and said through the gap between his teeth: "Really? Then I wish you a good fat pool."

Zhu Nao accepted his blessing with a smile: "Brother Li's auspicious words."

Zhu Nao had almost finished shopping in the market, so he left leisurely with Jing Zhe.After the two left, Li Shen's buddy touched his head in a daze, and asked, "Master, is what he said true or not? Could it be that the rumors are all rumors?"

The guy couldn't figure it out, and neither could Li Shen.However, after he thought about it again and again, he still had a tendency in his heart: "I don't believe what he said. I think he probably knows that others are also hoarding wheat straw, so that the price has risen, and he can't afford it. So he pretended to be crazy and refused to admit the prescription. I want others to give up harvesting straw so that he can hoard it by himself.”

The clerk felt quite reasonable after hearing this, and hurriedly laughed and said: "The master is really powerful, and Zhu Nao's tricks can't hide from you at all!"

Li Shen was praised a few times, and suddenly he felt a little elated.He didn't hesitate any longer, and went directly to the stall selling wheat straw.

"How do you sell the straw?"

"One basket of three taels of silver..."

Before the vendor had time to tell the preferential price of "four baskets of ten taels of silver", Li Shen waved his hand boldly: "I want all of these baskets!"

Vendor: "..."

This vendor was the one who had despised each other with Li Shen before.A few days ago, Li Shen thought it was too expensive to sell a basket for two taels of silver, and he still didn't buy it after being picky for a long time, but today he was completely different.The vendor couldn't help asking: "Mr. Li has gotten rich recently? Why did you change your temper?"

Li Shen thought to himself, what the hell do you know!

He already figured it out.Whether the straw is useful or how to use it is not the most important thing.The important thing is that the price of wheat straw is one day, and the quantity is getting smaller and smaller.Before, he thought that a basket of two taels of silver should be the capped price, but it has only been a few days, and it has already sold for three taels.If this trend continues, it will not be a problem to sell five or six taels in a few days.

Businessmen do business by buying low and selling high.What is bought and what is sold is not important at all, the most important thing is to make a profit.If Jun Nao really has a mysterious prescription, he will sell the medicine to Jun Nao to make money; even if he doesn't, he can make a lot of money by reselling the wheat straw after a while when the price of wheat straw is higher.

So Li Shen paid the money readily, ordered someone to carry several baskets of wheat straw, and ran to the next stall.

Soon, after a bloody battle and a lot of harvest, Li Shen led his men out of the market.He turned his head and saw the carts of wheat straw he had just bought, and thought of the large sum of money he had just spent, not only did he not feel distressed, but he was also very happy.

He has already started to calculate in his mind how much money he can make by reselling the wheat straw when the price rises.The more I thought about it, the happier I was, and I couldn't help snickering.

……

a few days later.

"Master! Master!" The man hurried into the house, "I have already bought five taels of wheat straw in the market today!"

Li Shen was overjoyed: "Really?!"

"Really!" asked the man, "Boss, should we sell the wheat straw we hoarded?"

Since he came back from harvesting a lot of wheat straw, Li Shen has been sending people to keep an eye on the market price of wheat straw.On the same day, he made an agreement with his buddy that once the price rises to five taels of silver, he will sell all the wheat straw in his hand, earning the price difference of two taels of silver per basket.But he didn't expect it to rise to five taels and one basket so quickly, so he was reluctant to sell it.Wouldn't it be better to stock up on it for a while, and sell it when the price is higher?

Li Shen said: "No, don't sell it yet. You continue to watch the market...and, watch Jun Nao! Once Jun Nao makes any moves, you will come back and report to me immediately."

The buddy nodded, and was about to turn around and go out when Li Shen stopped him again.

"Wait a minute! Pay attention these few days. If someone sells wheat straw at a low price, you can go talk about it. If you can talk about four taels of silver, we will collect more. I have too little goods in my hand. Store more to earn more."

The clerk took the order, accepted the money from Li Shen, and left in a hurry.

……

A few more days.

Hearing footsteps outside, Li Shen got up and went out before anyone came in.

"Well, what's the price today?" He asked the buddy impatiently.

The man said: "There are three people selling in the market, the most expensive one sells for six taels of silver, and the cheapest one sells for four and a half taels of silver."

Li Shen let out a "tsk" irritably.It has been several days, and the price of wheat straw has not risen any further. It has been hovering around five taels, and even has a faint downward trend.

Merchants in the city do not want the price of wheat straw to fall.They hoard a lot, just want to sell at a high price to make more money.When prices go down, they earn less.Especially Li Shen.Others made an early move and received one or two taels of silver, even if it fell to three taels, they still made a lot of money.But Li Shen received three taels of silver at the beginning, and later collected a batch of four taels, the cost was too high.If the price of wheat straw does not rise any further, he will not only lose money, but also lose money.

The guy was also a little panicked: "Boss, what should we do now?"

Li Shen paced back and forth.He also knew that those who hoarded wheat straw were actually rich businessmen in Langzhou, and the common people didn't understand these things and didn't have the money to participate.However, there has been no movement from Zhu Nao's side, and those old and cunning businessmen have begun to relax a little.They are loose, which is very bad news for Li Shen.After all, the current price of wheat straw is not low. Once one of those people chooses to sell the wheat straw in his hand, the price of wheat straw will plummet, and he will lose all his money.On the contrary, if they are still willing to continue to purchase, the price of wheat straw will have room to rise.

But how to make them willing to continue the acquisition?Comparing your heart with your heart, you have to make them feel profitable.

Li Shen thought for a while, went back to the house and opened the box, took out another bag of silver, and went out directly.

The man chased after him and asked, "Boss, where are you going?"

Li Shen said: "Go to the market and collect the straw!"

The guy was taken aback: "Is it still charged?"

Li Shen gritted his teeth: "Take it!"

Only by collecting all the wheat straw on the market and making other merchants feel that wheat straw is still in short supply and may rise to ten taels of silver, will they be willing to buy all the five taels of silver.In this way, the price of wheat straw can continue to rise.

As of now, that's all there is to it.

……

In a few days.

The shopkeeper under Li Shen stood in front of the table with a sad face: "Boss, are you really going to sell all these goods?"

Li Shen waved his hand dejectedly: "Really. You hurry up and do it, I need cash, the sooner the better."

The shopkeeper hesitated and did not move.

"Hurry up!" Li Shen glared at him, "What are you still doing here?"

The shopkeeper persuasively said: "Sir, should you think about it again?" Li Shen said that he was in urgent need of cash, so he asked him to sell some in-demand goods in the pharmacy at low prices to exchange for silver.In his opinion, this is definitely a bad idea.

"Boss, if we are really in a hurry to sell, the medicinal materials will definitely not be able to sell at a high price, wouldn't it be a loss? Besides, the business of our shop has only gotten better in the past two months. Once the goods are short of three or four, we will drive away customers. They Go to another pharmacy to buy medicine, it will be hard to come back later..."

These words were well-founded, but Li Shen couldn't listen to them.He waved his hand and didn't take it seriously: "Anyway, those medicinal materials were collected from Zhu Nao at a low price earlier, and it won't hurt to sell them at a low price. And this is temporary, I just need money urgently these few days. When I have enough money, I will just buy more.”

"Master..." The shopkeeper wanted to persuade him again, but Li Shen slammed the table and cut off his words.

"I'm the boss and you are the boss? Don't be annoying here, I'm so upset now! Get out immediately and do as I say!"

Speaking of this, the shopkeeper had no choice but to leave with a sigh.

After the shopkeeper left, Li Shen lingered in the room for a while, seeing that the time was about the same, he waited at the door.Not long after, his men came back pushing two carts of wheat straw.

As soon as Li Shen saw those straws, his whole face immediately wrinkled.When the buddy approached, he asked angrily: "Today you charged so much again?!"

The man nodded flinchingly.

Li Shen gritted his teeth and stared at the straw, the anger in his eyes almost set the straw on fire.

In order to stabilize the price of wheat straw, he asked his buddies to watch, and once there was one below a certain price, he would buy it all.I don't know who it is, but a small batch is always sold every day.The quantity is not large, and within his tolerance, he can only spend money to buy it with heartache every day.But it was too much to come here every day. He had already spent all the money in his hand, so he had to ask the shopkeeper of the pharmacy to clear the goods, so that he could give him some cash.

The man unloaded the goods on the cart, and asked cautiously, "Boss, do you want me to keep watching?" He also knew that the boss was running out of money.

Li Shen's eyes were bloodshot, and he glared at him viciously: "What do you mean? Of course we have to continue!" He has no way out, and the wheat straw at home is piled up into a hill, which is hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, although he is now There is no way to exchange them for silver.But if he made a mistake and allowed the price of wheat straw to drop sharply, he would lose everything!

The man muttered dejectedly, "When will this day end..."

Hearing this, Li Shen clenched his fists.Even if there is an insidious guy who sells a small amount every day, at least no one sells it in a broken pot, and it does not cause too much danger to the price of wheat straw.That way he still has a chance.

Everyone is waiting, although they don't know what they are waiting for.Should we wait for the next natural or man-made disaster, or something else...

The author has something to say: Zhu Nao: No one will believe me when I tell the truth. In this world, alas!
