Chapter 692: Li Yunlong became a black-hearted businessman!
Time passed quickly, and the chief of staff of the Kuomintang lined up from morning to evening, and all the people who finally bought rice left.
But when it was time for him, the shopkeeper of the rice shop stopped selling, which immediately made him furious.
"Shopkeeper, what do you mean? Are you really fooling me?"
The shopkeeper of the rice shop pointed to a wooden sign in the inconspicuous place at the entrance of the store: "See, the store is closed at 5 o'clock in the evening. If you want to buy it, hurry up tomorrow!"
In fact, this brand was only created by the rice shop owner today. After all, who would not do business these days?
But the people of Northeast China have an indescribable discomfort towards the National Army. In addition, these rice have been purchased by Li Yunlong for a long time, so he did not lose at all.
Therefore, it is better not to do the business of the Kuomintang army.
After saying this, the shopkeeper Mipu turned around and rushed to close the door, but the chief of staff lined up for a day, so naturally he would not give up.
"Shopkeeper, you sell me some rice, can't I raise the price?" said the Chief of Staff with some grievance.
"Oh! Look at what you said!" The shopkeeper smiled and said, "We dare not raise the price."
"Captain Li of the Eighth Route Army said that no matter what chaos is outside, the people of our Shuangcheng must have food to buy and afford rice, otherwise they will copy this shop!"
"Besides, I'm not that bad-hearted businessman, right? We don't dare to break this rule!"
"Okay, then you can sell my rice at the original price."
"This is not true!" The owner of the rice shop smiled and said, "The shop is closed. I won't do it today. If you want rice, just wake up tomorrow and come early!"
The Chief of Staff was speechless. He also understood that it was probably not only today, but also tomorrow.
The shopkeeper didn't want to sell it to him, so no matter whether he got up early or lined up, he probably couldn't buy this rice.
In anger, the Chief of Staff had no choice but to return to the military camp.
"How is it? Have you bought it?"
Seeing that the Chief of Staff came back, Jia Xuanzhong hurriedly stepped forward to inquire.
The Chief of Staff shook his head: "Now the rice shops in the city are controlled by Li Yunlong, we can't buy rice at all."
Jia Xuanzhong frowned: "Damn it, I just said, why did Li Yunlong let us enter the city so easily? It turned out that he was thinking about playing this trick with us, he was simply a bastard!"
The Chief of Staff nodded: "What's the use of complaining now? We should think about how to get food!"
"We don't have much food now. When I came back just now, I saw the soldiers from our army going to Li Yunlong's camp. If this continues in less than half a month, all of our people will become the Eighth Route Army."
Jia Xuanzhong angrily punched the table: "Then what do you think you should do now? You can't force yourself to buy it, right?"
"Forced buying is useless!" said the Chief of Staff: "Today we had a soldier who wanted to force buying, but he was caught by Li Yunlong's people and has not been released yet."
"Teacher, I think it's better for you to talk to Li Yunlong. We are here to fight the Japanese. Li Yunlong doesn't need to target us like this!"
Jia Xuanzhong hesitated for a moment and slapped his thigh: "Okay, even if it's a food problem or someone, I have to meet Li Yunlong."
"I just hope he, Li Yunlong, can reason, otherwise we will not be able to stay in Frost City for a whole day!"
After saying that, Jia Xuanzhong turned around and walked out of the tent and headed towards the command center where Li Yunlong was.
In the command center, Zhao Gangzheng calculated the income from buying rice with Li Yunlong every purchase.
"The price did not fluctuate too much, and the rice shopkeepers did not make small moves, and the accounts could match."
Li Yunlong nodded and smiled: "Did the guy from the Guojun buy rice today?"
Zhao Gang closed the account book and smiled: "You have said this to the rice shop owners, how could the Guojun buy it?"
"How many people wanted to buy rice by force, but they were all caught by Corps Li. They are still locked up by us. When are you going to put the person back?"
"Put back?" Li Yunlong said coldly: "They were arrested in my frost city. Then Jia Xuanzhong, the commander of the army, was not allowed to pay the ransom?"
"If they don't teach them a lesson this time, they will have to jump out again in two days, so we have to treat the root cause."
Zhao Gang nodded: "Okay, you have the final say, as long as you don't make a fortune!"
Li Yunlong smiled and said, "Don't worry, Lao Zhao, I have a clear idea!"
"Captain, the commander of the National Army, the commander Jia, is here, have you seen him?" Tan Hai walked into the house and said.
"It seems that the national army is about to run out of food, and we have business to do again!" Li Yun smiled and said, "Let him come in!"
"Yes!" Tan Hai responded, turned around and left, and soon walked in with Jia Xuanzhong.
"Teacher Jia, it's so late. What's the matter with you here?" Li Yunlong asked knowingly.
Jia Xuanzhong almost fainted from being angry with Li Yunlong's words, and he wanted to strangle him to death.
"Hehe, Captain Li, I'm here for nothing this time. I heard you bought all the food in our Frost City?"
Li Yunlong was stunned and smiled and said, "It seems that this is the case!"
"Teacher Jia, you also know that our Eighth Route Army is poor and cannot compare to your national army. I can't let my brothers go hungry with you, so I can only do some small business."
"But we are stupid and don't know what kind of business we can make money. We can only do grain business. But we are thin-skinned and embarrassed to make money from ordinary people, so we can only sell it at a fair price."
Jia Xuanzhong smiled and said, "Don't make money from the people, do you mean that Captain Li wants to make money from our national army?"
Li Yunlong smiled and said, "I think so, but didn't you make any profit?"
"Okay, Commander Jia, let's open up if you have anything to say. It's not too late. If you give me any twists and turns, I won't have time to pay attention to you!"
Jia Xuanzhong took a deep breath, calmed down his inner emotions and said, "Captain Li, the food of our national army has already reached the bottom, so I want to buy some food from you!"
"Oh?" Li Yunlong said with a wicked smile: "So you are buying food? This is easy to deal with. I, Li Yunlong, don't have many other things now, and I am indeed a little rich in my hands."
"But the price may be more expensive than the ones outside. I just don't know if Commander Jia can accept it?"
Jia Xuanzhong frowned: "As long as Captain Li is willing to sell, it will be more expensive. I don't know how much it is?"
Li Yunlong stretched out three fingers and said, "Not much, it's probably three times more expensive!"
"Three times!" Jia Xuanzhong exclaimed: "Li Yunlong, the business is not as expensive as you do. It is three times more expensive. You are simply darker than Zhou Papi!"
Li Yunlong smiled and said, "Teacher Jia, you are wrong. I, Li Yunlong, are not a businessman at all."
"I'm just seeing that friendly troops are short of food and are taking action with justice, so I can only get a little benefit from it!"
"But since your army doesn't appreciate it, I'll just forget about this matter!"
