Chapter 386 It’s better to follow the clues and follow the clues
For example, the Zheng family has already made preparations to purchase grain from other places next year.
However, the cost of importing grain from other places will definitely be higher, and since sweet potatoes and corn are all planted, the amount of soybeans will decrease. Sweet potatoes and corn cannot be circulated in the market, the price of soybeans will inevitably rise.
Li Shuang'er said that Zheng Baiwan even planned to take a year off next year and resume grain business after sweet potatoes and corn have been fully promoted the year after.
As a businessman, there is nothing wrong with Liu Qian's approach.
"Mrs. Shen, since I dare to bring this up, I must know some inside information. As the person who discovered these two crops, the government did not force you to buy the grain. I think it will be the same next year. This is a privilege given to you by the government. After all, you planted your own grain, unlike other farmers who were forced to plant grain by the government."
"And you have a lot of land. The wasteland and fertile fields can reach 200 acres, not to mention the sloping land on the two hills. When the autumn harvest comes next year, the output of these lands will be huge."
Liu Qian figured out all of Su Wanwan's background.
Zhao Yuanyuan was extremely jealous when she heard this.
How could she be so lucky? In such a short period of time, she has accumulated so much land and also has a workshop. I heard that her business is booming.
Su Wanwan also frowned slightly. This Liu Qian knew more about the land in her hands than she, the person involved, did.
She herself doesn't know how much land she has.
Anyway, Mr. Xu always includes land in his rewards.
Of course, the imperial court also gave her a portion of the reward when she was conferred the title of county princess for the last time.
Su Wanwan didn't take care of anything, it was Shen Yuan who took care of everything. She didn't worry about it and didn't even know that she had become such a big landlord.
Seeing that she was silent and seemed to be thinking about something, Liu Qian continued:
"Mrs. Shen also understands that next year, the government will not buy grain seeds from the villagers at the same price as this year. It may even be lower than the price of soybeans. I will still buy them at the price of refined rice next year. Mrs. Shen is also a businessman, so I hope you will consider it carefully."
Liu Qian didn't believe that the woman would not be moved.
This is a huge sum of money.
Although their tofu skin workshop business is very good now, who would complain about having too much money?
He was not at all sure about facing Shen Yuan. He always felt that he was not an ordinary businessman.
Moreover, when he saw Shen Yuan, he would feel frightened and would not dare to talk about cooperation at all.
But fortunately, he had also inquired around and found out that Shen Yuan only listened to his wife. On weekdays, except for being nice to Mrs. Shen, he had a sour face when he saw anyone else.
Therefore, he had no choice but to start with Mrs. Shen.
As long as Mrs. Shen agrees, there is no need to worry about Shen Yuan disagreeing.
"Mr. Liu is really generous, he is worthy of being the number one grain merchant in Beichang Prefecture."
Su Wanwan praised, but it was unclear whether she agreed or not.
"Mrs. Shen, you are so kind."
Liu Qian felt more confident after being praised by her.
He also thought that he was the number one grain merchant in the entire Beichang Prefecture, otherwise how could those people find him?
Apart from his Liu family, among all the grain merchants in Beichang Prefecture, who else could match his financial resources, and no one could consume so much grain.
"I wonder what you think, Madam?"
he asked cautiously.
Su Wanwan was also thinking about various situations in her mind at this moment.
Shen Yuan's affairs had never been hidden from her, so she naturally knew Liu Qian's purpose in purchasing grain.
There have been too many disasters in the past two years, and the supply of food is scarce and the price is high.
Since ancient times, those who have accomplished great things have not lacked money, but most importantly, food.
When disaster strikes, even if you have money you can’t buy food, so even though those people have amassed a lot of wealth, they cannot withstand the food shortage.
What Liu Qian wants to buy is the grain after next year's autumn harvest. It seems that because of the food problem, they will have to be quiet for a while.
As for where the food went, we still haven't found out yet, so why not follow the clues...
"I do have the intention, but as a woman, I naturally have to let my husband make the decision on this matter."
Su Wanwan seemed a little embarrassed.
However, Liu Qian's eyes lit up and he was confident.
Such a good thing, and with Mrs. Shen's whispering, if Shen Yuan doesn't agree, he would be a big fool.
"Of course, Madam Shen, please say good things to Mr. Shen."
Liu Qian was overjoyed; he didn't expect it to be so smooth.
Food will be in short supply next year. With these sweet potatoes and corns, he will be able to complete his mission smoothly, and he will be a hero then.
Su Wanwan nodded and looked at Zhao Yuanyuan beside her. She was still thinking about how to deal with Zhao Yuanyuan.
"One more thing. If Mr. Shen agrees, since we are doing business for next year, we naturally have to sign the contract in advance."
When doing business, it is natural to reflect it in writing. As the saying goes, words are not enough.
Su Wanwan's eyes darkened:
"Don't worry, Mr. Liu. I understand this. If my husband agrees, I will ask him to come to my house in person."
Liu Qian became more and more overjoyed and was so excited that he didn't know where to put his hands.
The last time he failed to make the soybean business with Shen Yuan, he thought that both the couple were difficult to talk to, and he clearly felt that both of them were prejudiced against him.
If he had known that Mrs. Shen was so easy to talk to, he would have gone to invite her in person. Would he have needed to ask Zhao Yuanyuan to do so?
Su Wanwan didn't expect that she thought she had walked into a tiger's den, but the other party actually gave her a vine directly. Don't blame her for being rude.
"Master, Sixth Aunt, the owner of Liu's Furniture Store is here. He said that the store has new styles and he wants to show them to Sixth Aunt."
A servant came hurriedly to report.
When Zhao Yuanyuan heard this, she immediately became alert.
She customized the set of Liu's furniture, which made her shine in the backyard of the Liu Mansion, and she really liked those furniture.
The Liu family is quite good at doing business. When they have new styles, they come door to door to sell their products.
She has done such a great thing for the master today, the master will definitely reward her. Making a piece of furniture is nothing.
It's a good opportunity to let Su Wanwan see that she is now a person of status and love.
So, Zhao Yuanyuan looked at Liu Qian tenderly, hoping that he would be more generous and give her some face.
She also understood it just now. No matter how capable Su Wanwan and Shen Yuan are, they have to sell grain to her master. After all, her master is also a big client of Su Wanwan and Shen Yuan.
Zhao Yuanyuan is not well educated and doesn't understand business matters. In this matter, she feels that Shen Yuan and Su Wanwan have to rely on Liu Qian. Thinking this way, it feels like they have to rely on her. Otherwise, with so much grain, who would they sell it to?
In front of Su Wanwan, Liu Qian was also willing to give face to Zhao Yuanyuan. This time Zhao Yuanyuan was really useful, at least she really invited Su Wanwan.
"Please ask him to come in and let Sixth Aunt take a look. If she likes him, then we can make the deal."
Liu Qian gave Zhao Yuanyuan a look, and she was delighted and proud. She immediately leaned over to thank him.
