"Brother Zhong, why don't we give in too!"

"Yes, let's get a few cents out and give Fatty Huang some benefits, take back his rice, take advantage of the Myanmar rice before it has entered the market, and throw out the goods on hand first and make less money!"

"Brother Zhong, the situation is stronger than that of others. Let's give in today!"

The rice merchants on the rice table didn't care about so much at this time, so they whispered to Boss Duan under Hu Keqin's nose. Hu Keqin and Shen Hongmao were just drinking and eating, just pretending that they didn't see the movement on the table. The factory owners on the next table whispered and cast gloating eyes on this side. These rice insects, I didn't expect you to be today.

Zhong Zhengchun's forehead was exposed, and he whispered: "How much do you think you will reduce?"

"This, that fat man Huang said that he could drop to 50% and he would make a small profit, but we are afraid that we would also drop to 50%!"

"Absurd!" a thin man said in the intercept: "He said that he had achieved success. Is he a rice merchant or we a rice merchant? If you just say nothing, you will have to extort such a large sum of money from us. You dream!"

"Then, how much did you think it would be reduced?"

"In my opinion, it has dropped to 70% at most. If it is more, it won't work!"

"70%? Lord Hu's guards are good tonight. They are the Minister of Revenue and the imperial court has a destiny. We just pushed him for a moment, but I'm afraid that he has annoyed him. Now I'm afraid that he will make a move. We all get squatted in prison tonight!"

"This—" This thin man was immediately mute when he heard this, and the businessman once again had the upper hand in the fear of the government.

"Needless to say, I have decided, it has dropped to 80%!" Zhong Zhengchun's voice interrupted everyone's discussion, and a rice merchant replied in fear: "Brother, is this a little less? If the fat man really had 3,500 tons of rice on hand, it would be over. As long as the Burmese rice came in, all our goods would be smashed into our hands. He offended the government, and there was only one way to die for us.

"What are you afraid of! I have considered all this!" A sneer appeared on Zhong Zhengchun's face: "Think about it, even if Fatty Huang has so much rice on hand, the rice shops in Shanghai are in our hands. If you are too anxious, we can close the rice shop. Can Fatty Huang still send the rice to someone else's house? Don't forget that Mr. Hu is trying to appease the situation. As long as the workers don't make trouble, he will agree to any conditions."

After hearing Zhong Zhengchun's words, everyone couldn't help but lit up. As he said just now, there were so many rice shops in Shanghai under their control. Even if there were so many meters in Huang Zhonglian's warehouse, they could not skip the terminal channel they controlled and enter the rice jar of Shanghai citizens. In other words, as long as they controlled this chip, Hu Keqin had to agree to their request.

"Actually, this is 80% already our bottom line!" Zhong Zhengchun continued: "We seem to have a lot of profits, but there is also bank interest, management, loss, inventory along the way, and there is no money left. You must know that our good days in recent years are inseparable from the 'Su Mi no entry into Shanghai'. Without the support of the gang, we are nothing!"

After hearing Zhong Zhengchun's words, everyone on the table nodded. Seeing that he persuaded his companions, Zhong Zhengchun couldn't help but feel excited. He stood up and bowed deeply to Hu Keqin and Shen Hongmao, saying, "Two sirs, the colleagues at the meeting just now discussed it and decided to take another big step. He decided to sell it at 80%!"

Hu Keqin and Shen Hongmao's faces suddenly became ugly. They thought that with Huang Zhonglian's statement, the people from Mi Xing's guild should be more tactful, but they did not expect that this person was so stubborn.

"If you don't want toast, you will be punished!" Shen Hongmao cursed in his stomach and said in a deep voice: "Director Zhong, why can the Huang Dong family give up 50%, but you are only willing to give up 80%?"

"Sir, the little people bought rice from Liangzhe in the rice shop, while the Huang Dongjia bought Myanmar rice. The costs on both sides are different, so the prices are naturally different." Zhong Zhengchun replied in a deep voice: "If you are not afraid of punishment from the adults, the price of rice dropped to 80% is actually a loss, so the little people spent a lot of effort to convince their peers to lower the price!"

"Yes, sir!"

"We have tried our best!"

The others on the rice shop table hurriedly agreed.

Shen Hongmao couldn't help but feel anger in his heart. He suppressed his anger and said coldly: "You said it can only be reduced to 80%? Okay, you will buy Boss Huang's rice tomorrow, and sell it to 55% now. Half of it will be profitable for you, right?"

"Please forgive me, so I'm sorry that I can't obey my destiny!" Zhong Zhengchun replied in a deep voice.

"What did you say?" Shen Hongmao could hardly believe his ears.

"Please forgive me, so I'm sorry that the villain cannot obey my duty!"

Shen Hongmao was already trembling all over. He laughed in anger and asked, "Okay, tell me why you can't obey?"

"Sir, if we put Boss Huang's Myanmar rice in the store for sale, since the price of Myanmar rice is much lower, customers will definitely only buy Myanmar rice, so our rice will not be sold. There are more than 200,000 stones of rice in our warehouse. If we can't sell it, the loss will not be compensated by half a profit. Secondly, our rice shop and many local rice shops in Liangzhe, and the field owners have had many years of cooperative relationships. Many of us signed contracts with rice, which stipulated that we would pay the rice in one or two months. If we follow your methods, we would not be able to pay these old friends. In this way, it would be a big deal for our rice shop. If we destroy the credibility of our rice shop and hurt these land owners, the farmers would be a big deal!"

After hearing this, Shen Hongmao's eyes almost spit out of fire. Although the other party's tone was soft, his attitude was very firm, and there was a faint threat in his words, because the landlord class in Jiangnan had always had great potential in the court. If he offended them, he would probably suffer endless disasters.

"Any 80% will be 80%!" A subtle voice came from Shen Hongmao's ear, and then he felt his arm being tapped.

"All 80% will be 80%!" Hu Keqin stood up from the chair and smiled, "You share the worries of the country. I thank you here!" After that, he raised his glasses to the two tables of people and drank them all. Then he said, "I am old and have lost energy, so I will leave first. You must drink more glasses of wine tonight, and you will not return until you get drunk!" After that, he pulled Shen Hongmao's sleeve and walked out first. Shen Hongmao was stunned and hurriedly followed.

"Great greetings to you two sirs!" With the long voice of the officers outside, the merchants on the tables on both sides hurriedly stood up and gave them to him.

"Evil thief, dog, stinworm!" As soon as he left the back hall, Shen Hongmao could no longer suppress the anger in his heart and cursed: "How dare these bastards be so domineering? Do you still take the imperial court seriously?"

"Mr. Shen, calm down!"

Hearing a low voice from behind, Shen Hongmao turned around and heard Hu Keqin's deep voice: "What we thought about today is actually too easy. It is not so easy to let these rice merchants spit out the fat meat in their mouths. But--" Speaking of this, Hu Keqin suddenly stopped. Shen Hongmao, who could hear the implicit sound, asked in a low voice: "Mr. Hu, do you think there is something wrong?"

"Well, don't you think that Huang Zhonglian is wrong? He is the owner of a spinning mill who stores so much rice, and it's all Burmese rice. Is it because there is someone behind him? He is manipulating all this?"

Shen Hongmao's forehead also frowned, and a name flashed through his mind immediately - "Chen Zaixing". No wonder this is the case. His old friend is now in Shanghai, and the rice is from Myanmar. Is there a close connection between the two? He raised his head and looked at Hu Keqin. Both of them immediately understood that the other party was thinking of going together.

Hu Keqin smiled and said, "It's already late at night, and I can't hold on anymore. Why don't we go back and rest on our own! Let's talk about the rice price before we talk about it!"

"Okay, then I'll send you off to Lord Hu!" Shen Hongmao bowed to Hu Keqin knowingly. Looking at Hu Keqin's back as he walked away, Shen Hongmao said to himself in a deep voice: "Chen Fusheng, Chen Fusheng, how many things have you interfered in?"

Late at night, Liu Family Mansion.

The decoration inside the house is very simple and there is no decoration on the walls. There are several armchairs of red sandalwood. Chen Zaixing and Liu Zhiping are sitting next to the coffee table, with a person standing at the bottom. It is Huang Zhonglian. Boss Huang is talking about something.

"So, that Zhong Zhengchun is willing to give up to 80% at most?" Chen Zaixing asked in a deep voice after listening to Huang Zhonglian's statement.

"That's right, Mr. Chen. Thanks to your clever plan, you two didn't see the expression of the person named Zhong at the dinner table today who was willing to give out half the price of rice! Hey! His whole face turned blue immediately! He just didn't spit out the bile!" Huang Zhonglian was already furious, and obviously what happened today made him feel very relieved: "Many people on his table actually gave up, but the person named Zhong was stubborn and bit him 80% of them!" At this point, Huang Zhonglian showed a hint of mutual appreciation to the other party.

"It's okay, anyway, the imperial court's intention to contact the ban has been forced out today, and the rest are all small matters!" Chen Zaixing smiled: "This Zhong Zhengchun must have thought that the grassroots rice shops are in their hands. Even if Myanmar rice can be imported, it cannot pass their qualities! That's why he is so stubborn!" Speaking of this, Chen Zaixing sneered and said to Liu Zhiping beside him: "Next, please ask Mr. Liu to take action and smash this hard walnut."

Liu Zhiping smiled and said, "It's easy to say, I'll speak, I'll let my advice!"

"I dare not!" Chen Zaixing smiled: "Many of these rice shops rely on bank loan funds for turnover. You only need to find a few that are about to expire and urge repayment. Just open a gap, and the rest will be simple!"
