"You also run a black market?"

Hou San was taken aback when he heard Gu Yunyang say that they also ran a black market.

At this moment, Hou San's heart trembled, and many thoughts came to mind.

My first thought was, could this group of people be a dragon crossing the river?

Looking back, will they try to seize market share from the capital's black market?

My second thought was, "Did this person come here to gather information?"

Otherwise, how would you find yourself?

But these thoughts only lingered in my mind.

Gu Yunyang chuckled, gestured with his hand, and said, "You don't need to worry. Everyone knows that for the black market to operate, besides resources, it also needs a powerful backer."

You weren't the boss of this black market before, were you?

"It hasn't been that long, and they've already changed people."

Hou San was taken aback. Was this old man dealing with the local black market for the first time?

Does the other party also know the former boss of this black market?

“You don’t need to worry,” Gu Yunyang said to himself. “We’ve dealt with each other before, but we haven’t had any in-depth exchanges.”

I know that guy from before; he wasn't very well-behaved.

He almost swallowed our goods.

We eventually gave up on the idea of ​​cooperating with him, and we haven't contacted him again in the past few months.

Unexpectedly, the black market has changed hands in just a few months.

So we've come back again to look for partners.

Don't worry, we're doing quite well in the black market elsewhere and have plenty of resources.

If you can name it, we can usually provide it.

Furthermore, we are well aware that the black market is not easy to operate and will not interfere with the black market operations in Beijing.

We're just looking for partners. You need to offer a suitable price, and perhaps you'll also need to provide a place to settle down so we can facilitate the transaction.

What happens after that is no longer our concern.

Hou San did not completely believe Gu Yunyang's words.

However, after thinking about it for a moment, he agreed: "Okay, let's discuss the price."

I just heard about the price of this rice; you're asking for 80 cents a pound?

"If we buy in bulk, can you give us a discount?"

"That was just a trial run, a random distribution of some goods."

Eight cents a pound isn't expensive, and as you know, there's drought of varying degrees all over the country right now.

How long has it been since it rained in Beijing?

In the future, food supplies will become increasingly scarce, but we can provide you with plenty of food.

As long as you have the money, we will try our best to satisfy you.

So the price is now 80 cents.

Hou San fell silent.

He understood what Gu Yunyang meant.

Grain is currently 80 cents a pound, and if the drought continues, the price may rise further.

Hou San naturally understood this principle.

It hasn't rained in the capital for a long time, while the summer harvest has already begun in the south.

The question now is whether this summer's grain harvest will be reduced.

As for the situation in the Central Plains, Hou San was not completely unaware of it.

Fortunately, the situation in the Northeast is relatively better. A few areas were affected by the disaster, but most areas are still stable.

But a reduction in food supplies is almost certain.

In other words, this price is not the final price.

However, if the drought continues, grain production will continue to decline.

Then the price will definitely have to go up.

There's nothing we can do about it; we can do without other things.

But we can't do without food.
