Chapter 143 Ghost Faced Man: Madam is Right

Ye Muxi's almond eyes stared round, Mrs. Ye?Wait, when did I become the wife of the ghost-faced man?
Looking at the ghost-masked man, he saw that the other party was sitting indifferently, calm and steady, as motionless as a mountain.The ghost-faced man is very innocent. He Jinzhong regarded them as husband and wife, but he didn't confess.

Maybe people see that these two people hide their heads and show their tails, and they look like a "husband and wife"?
"You two want to discuss business with us through the curtain?" Xu Liangqi frowned and asked.

Seeing that the main show was coming, Ye Muxi restrained her thoughts, "We're here to discuss business, not a blind date, so what if we can't see your face, and I see that the young man next to you is wearing a bamboo hat, isn't he also shameful?" ?”

The curtain blocked the faces of both sides, but Huangfu Sheng could be seen wearing a bamboo hat.

"Bold." Xu Liangqi's expression changed, he actually talked to Prince Rui like this, and was about to reprimand him, but Huangfu Sheng shook his head at him, signaling to keep a low profile to avoid revealing his identity.

Huangfu Sheng said, "Mrs. Ye is right. Meeting people is not the point, the point is to negotiate this deal. Our Xu family has always been in the grain business, but recently the business has been so good that there is no surplus food. I heard that your wife has a group of There are 80 dans of grain, and we want to buy three quarters of it."

"Three-quarters, that's 60 dan. It seems that the Xu family's grain is really selling well this year, and they have to buy so much at once." Ye Muxi smiled delicately, and looked at The ghost-masked man beside him said, "Look, let me just say, the Xu family has made a lot of money, and they will definitely be able to afford our asking price."

Saying such things in front of Huangfu Sheng and Xu Liangqi made it clear that they were going to cheat you because of how much money you had, which made both of them turn blue with anger.

Huangfu Sheng felt that he had said something wrong.

But he didn't find a reason, so he felt guilty, fearing that someone would link this sum of food with his disaster relief food.Fortunately, the other party didn't think too much.

Ye Muxi was actually afraid that Huangfu Sheng would think of the stolen 60 dans of grain, so he didn't dare to say 60 tans, but 80 tans.

"Ma'am is right." The ghost-masked man looked at Ye Muxi with a bright smile in his eyes.

Ye Muxi's face froze, this bastard actually took the opportunity to take advantage of her!But now her identity has been accidentally turned into the wife of the ghost-faced man by He Jinzhong, and she cannot be revealed in person, so she can only give him a look of reconciliation after autumn.

The ghost-masked man smiled even more happily with the look in his eyes that seemed ferocious to her, but to him it was coquettish.

"I won't go around with you anymore. You all know that this batch of grain is going to be transported to Nine Counties, where the price of grain has skyrocketed due to the famine, seven or eight taels of silver per stone of rice." Ye Muxi's lips curled up. With an upward arc, "Since you buy so much at one time, I will give you a little discount, five taels of silver for one stone of rice."

Xu Liangqi said angrily, "Mrs. Ye, you are too deceitful. The Nine Counties is a special case, and other places only cost one tael a stone of rice. Now we go to any rice shop in the south of the Yangtze River to buy grain, and it only costs one tael a stone." rice."

"Then master Xu, go to other rice shops to buy, and see if you can buy 60 tan." Ye Muxi smiled.

Huangfu Sheng was calmer than Xu Liangqi, he frowned and said, "During the negotiation before, didn't you only propose to increase the price by five taels of silver, why did it suddenly become five taels of silver?"

"Oh, that's because the servant who sent the message misheard, and recorded five taels as five qian." Ye Muxi lied and said slowly, "Originally, I had to increase the price by five taels of silver, six taels of silver per stone of rice. Later , for the sake of your sincerity, I lowered the price, five taels of silver for one stone of rice."

Xu Liangqi couldn't hold his breath anymore. When he talked with He Jinzhong before, He Jinzhong said that it was one tael or five silver and one stone of rice, but Huangfu Sheng thought the price was expensive, so he came to discuss it in person.

It's a good thing now, it's not one tael or five, but five taels. 60 tons, that's a huge sum of money.

Working for Huangfu Sheng, making such a big mistake, Huangfu Sheng didn't say anything, and he felt ashamed.

"You guys are really going too far! There are no grain sellers like this. Which family do you come from? There is no one named Ye among the grain merchants in the south of the Yangtze River." Xu Liangqi's tone was threatening.

Ye Muxi clicked his tongue, "Our small family can't afford to offend the famous Xu family. Buying and selling is voluntary, and I'm not forcing you to buy grain. You don't like the high price, so you don't have to buy it. I still I don’t want to sell it to you, I can earn more if I bring it to Nine Counties.”

Huangfu Sheng was not particularly angry at this time, but felt that the people separated by a curtain were very difficult to deal with.

Definitely not some unknown person.

It's just that he thought about the wealthy families of the major commercial houses in the south of the Yangtze River one by one in his mind, and he couldn't think of anyone who could match up with the Ye family couple.

"The price of grain in the nine counties is indeed high, but with the grain price of seven or eight taels of rice, how many people in the nine counties can afford to buy grain? If you don't sell it to us, we can sell one-third of the 80 dan Not bad. What's more, once Prince Rui's relief food arrives, the price of food in the nine counties will inevitably plummet and stabilize quickly. And Prince Rui is currently in Jiangzhou, and it only takes half a month to go to the nine counties. Even if you grab it Prince Rui arrived in the nine counties earlier, how many days can he sell high-priced grain? How much can he sell?" Huangfu Sheng said in an orderly manner, not tepidly:
"You expect to sell this grain at a high price in the nine counties, that's impossible."

Ye Muxi was not angry, her eyes were shining brightly, this is Huangfu Sheng, very difficult to deal with.

Obviously 60 dans of grain were stolen, and he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, but when negotiating with outsiders, he was still as stable as Mount Tai, as if 60 tans of grain were still there, which was not empty at all.

Chess meets opponent.

"So, if you sell it to me, it saves time and effort. I can increase the price, two taels of silver for one stone of rice." Huangfu Sheng said slowly.

Xu Liangqi was getting excited when he heard that the other party shouted such a sky-high price because of the high grain price in the nine counties, but Huangfu Sheng's few words and two words and four or two thousand catties dispelled the other party's advantage and gained the upper hand.Under such circumstances, they should take advantage of the victory to pursue the situation and get the grain at the normal market price, but Huangfu Sheng unexpectedly took a big step back.

Two taels of silver for one stone of rice is twice as much as usual.

Xu Liangqi was about to speak when Huangfu Sheng patted him on the shoulder, signaling him not to talk too much.

In fact, it wasn't that Huangfu Sheng didn't want to take advantage of the victory to chase after him, but that he had a premonition of the opponent's difficulty.It's better to take the initiative to take a step back, so as not to push the other party into a hurry.

"Mr. Xu is right. But even if Prince Rui sent relief food to the nine counties, the price of food plummeted. It would not take a day or two. It would take one or two months to drop from seven or eight taels to two or three taels, which is enough to sell. There are 80 dans of grain." Ye Muxi tapped her index finger on the coffee table, as if casually said:

"What's more, Mr. Xu, I think you have overlooked a problem. I am not the only one who has taken a fancy to the high-priced grain market in Nine Counties, and there are many more merchants. Besides you, there are other grain merchants looking for us. I can sell For others, I think they will think that the purchase price of [-] taels can be sold at a high price of [-] taels in Nine Counties, which is a sure profit deal."

"If the Xu family doesn't have such a big appetite to eat 60 tan, it's not bad to buy 20 tan, how about it? I'll sell the rest to other grain merchants."

Huangfu Sheng's eyes froze, this woman is too difficult to deal with.

The two came and went, arguing with each other, and then confronted each other about the consumption of food delivery, the possibility of other merchants uniting to lower prices, and so on. Even Xu Liangqi, a serious businessman, was sweating on his forehead. If he played against one of them, he would have lost a long time ago.

Fortunately, the prince came here in person today, otherwise, if the old man negotiated with them, he would lose even his pants.

The ghost-masked man has been sitting beside Ye Muxi indifferently, and he is not silent, for example...

After Ye Muxi taunted Huangfu Sheng if he couldn't afford it, then don't buy it, and turned to the ghost-masked man, "We're not afraid that we won't be able to sell it, right?"

"Ma'am is right."

The ghost-faced man has been talking, but this is the only sentence from beginning to end.

Half an hour has passed...

"Three liang of silver is one stone of rice." Huangfu Sheng clenched his fists, his eyes fixed on the curtain, he couldn't see the woman's figure clearly, only a slim silhouette.

He was both disgusted and jealous of this sharp-tongued woman, and also inexplicably admired.

Ye Muxi said unhurriedly, "Five taels of silver, nothing less."

"I have already raised the price, but Mrs. Ye is unwilling to give in. Are you really so dishonest?" Huangfu Sheng's face was gloomy.

Ye Muxi said slowly, "Sincerity does not depend on whether or not to increase the price. I am willing to talk with you for so long. It is sincerity. Mr. Xu, you are much more difficult to deal with than other grain merchants, but I am too lazy to sell them one by one. Selling Wan Dan to you can save a lot of trouble. But if Mr. Xu insists on this, I can only trouble a little and sell the grain to others."

But five taels of silver exceeded Huangfu Sheng's bottom line, and he couldn't make any further concessions.

"I don't want Madam to work so hard anymore. It would be so troublesome to talk one by one. Since the Xu family wants it, let them forget it. One or two less." The ghost-masked man looked at Ye Muxi, his hoarse voice was full of tenderness.

Ye Muxi knew that this was their agreement to sing a good face and a bad face at the end of the show, but when she heard this sentence with her own ears and heard him calling her madam, she felt that it was not like acting at all. .

"That's not too cheap for them." Ye Muxi muttered as if dissatisfied, "You decide, of course I'll listen to you."

The ghost-masked man laughed, and raised his voice to the curtain, "Four taels of silver for a stone of rice, if you like it, it's a deal, if you don't want it, forget it."

This time, Ye Muxi didn't speak again.

Huangfu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief.Originally, he was absolutely not happy about the price of four taels, but now he heard the price of four taels, and he was really grateful to Mr. Ye.

Huangfu Sheng didn't know that Mr. Ye whom he thanked from the bottom of his heart was the one who robbed the food.

"Master Ye is so sincere, four taels is four taels." Huangfu Sheng made the final decision.
