Chapter 135 Taking Advantage of the Fire

"But Hong Sheng said that the law stipulates that officials are not allowed to do business." Lin Xi's eyebrows were a little excited, "Tell me, is there a way to kill Hang Qi?"

Xiao Yongyan looked at Lin Xi in a daze. Why did he see excitement in the other's eyes?

"Do you really want to kill Hang Qi?" Xiao Yongyan asked.

"We won't have a good life as long as this guy is around." Lin Xi said as a matter of course.

"If he's not here, we may not have a good life." Xiao Yongyan said, "If it's not Hang Qi, there will be someone else."

"Well," Lin Xi's thinking was very flexible. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. In the business world, there are only eternal interests. "Do you think we can use this incident to prevent Hang Qi from causing trouble for us?"

Lin Xi thought that her idea was genius, but Xiao Yongyan actually shook his head, "This little thing is not enough, we need to indulge ourselves a little more."

When Lin Xi heard the first half of the sentence, she thought Xiao Yongyan was trying to persuade her to give up, but she didn't expect that the next sentence he followed would be this.

"You really are full of bad intentions." Lin Xi couldn't help but complain.

"Ma'am, what you said is wrong. I don't have any bad intentions. I just want to help him." Xiao Yongyan said with a smile.

County government office.

The lawyer hurried into the study and said, "Sir, good news. There is news from the shop that a big client wants to discuss business. The amount is large and he wants to talk to the boss in person."

Hang Qi immediately put down the book in his hand and asked, "Is this true?"

"How dare I deceive you, sir? People in the store said that the other party came from Beijing and was interested in this unique bacon business." The lawyer lowered his voice, "From what he said, he thought we were a family with Lin's in Fenghe Town."

Hang Qi was amazed. Lin's bacon's reputation had spread to the capital? It was incredible.

"Well, you quickly arrange someone to contact them and find out how much is needed." Hang Qi said.

"Sir, I have already arranged this matter. They asked for ten thousand. The number is too large, and the current quantity we have is simply not enough." This is where the master is really in trouble.

Hang Qi was also shocked. "Ten thousand taels? Are you sure?"

"Please look, sir. The other party is very anxious and has already paid the deposit." The lawyer said as he took out the document and a silver note of one hundred taels.

Seeing both things in front of him, Hang Qi no longer had any doubts.

The bacon in the shop was sold at 80 wen, so 10,000 jin was 800 taels of silver. For people in the capital, 800 taels was really nothing.

"How much inventory do we have now?" Hang Qi asked.

The master was in a dilemma. "Sir, we only have over 200 kilograms of meat in total, which is far from what they require."

If you don't make money, you're a bastard. Hang Qi said immediately, "Go buy it immediately! We have money in our hands, so why should we be afraid of not being able to buy meat?"

The master is not stupid, so he naturally understands this principle. The key is——

"Sir, Taoli Village is the one that raises the most pigs among the surrounding villages. If you want to buy pigs, the other villages combined cannot get as many as Taoli Village."

Hang Qi was also stunned. Because Lin Xi started the bacon business, many people in the village started raising pigs.

To buy so many pigs at once, I’m afraid there is no better choice than Taoli Village.

"Nothing else works?" Hang Qi still didn't give up.

The master said tentatively, "How about I go and ask again."

"You go." Hang Qi said. Unless it was absolutely necessary, he really didn't want to buy pigs from Taoli Village.

Taoli Village, Xiao family.

Lin Xi sat at home basking in the sun, feeling relaxed and comfortable.

"Boss Lin, are you looking for me?" Ma Shanfeng came in from outside.

Lin Xi quickly asked someone to sit down, "There is a small matter. A big boss may come to buy pigs soon."

Ma Shanfeng only heard half of what he said and immediately said, "Don't worry, Boss Lin, the pigs in this pig farm are all prepared for you and will not be sold to others."

"No, that's not what I meant." Lin Xi said, "If someone else comes, you can sell it to them. You can raise the price a little, at least twenty taels of silver per pig."

It was the first time that Ma Shanfeng heard such a strange request. After thinking about it, he suddenly realized, "Boss Lin, I understand. Are you going to force people to buy something else by offering a high price?"

"No," Lin Xi smiled mysteriously, "They are in need of pork, and they can afford it even at 20 taels, so go ahead and sell it."

Ma Shanfeng was a little confused by these words, but he knew that following Lin Xi would be the right thing to do.

"Okay, Boss Lin, I got it, don't worry." Ma Shanfeng said.

"Also, I want to sign a contract with you today. If the person who comes to buy the pigs disagrees with your price, you can show this to him." Lin Xi said.

Ma Shanfeng could not read, but he trusted Lin Xi very much. When Lin Xi asked him to sign, he signed without any hesitation.

After returning home, Ma Shanfeng was still thinking about Lin Xi's words. How could anyone be willing to spend so much money to buy a pig? Even if one was short of money, he would not do this.

Unexpectedly, the next day after Lin Xi spoke, someone really came to the door.

The man seemed to be familiar with the situation in the pig farm. He went straight to Ma Shanfeng and said straight away that he was there to sell pigs and that he wanted all the pigs in the farm.

Ma Shanfeng was still doubting Lin Xi's words last night, but today they all came true. He couldn't help but sigh that Lin Xi was indeed amazing.

The man called himself Boss Wu and said, "Ma Shanfeng, I won't give you a penny less in terms of price, don't worry."

Ma Shanfeng looked embarrassed, "Boss Wu, all my pigs are supplied to Lin Ji. Even if you pay, it is difficult for me to agree."

Boss Wu added, "Please think about it carefully. We can negotiate the price."

Ma Shanfeng stood up and pretended to send the guest away. "Boss, to be honest, we have signed a contract with Lin Ji. If we breach the contract, we will have to pay compensation. One pig, five taels of silver."

As he spoke, Ma Shanfeng took out the document directly.

Boss Wu probably didn't expect this to happen and was speechless for a moment.

County government study.

"What the hell, five taels for a pig?" Hang Qi said angrily, "This is robbery!"

The lawyer immediately followed up, "That's right, sir, there is no better choice now. Think about it, even if it's only 20 taels of silver for a pig, we still have a profit."

Even so, Hang Qi still felt unhappy, "A pig out there is only ten taels, and the pigs in Taoli Village are fed with white rice."

Hang Qi felt heartbroken when he thought that twenty taels of silver could only buy a pig.

"Sir, usually Lin Xi buys pigs at fifteen taels each, plus five taels as compensation. If you don't give so much, people won't be willing to sell to you." The lawyer also knew that the price was a bit outrageous, but what could they do? They were in a hurry to get it, and they had no choice but to snatch it from Lin Xi.

"Fifteen taels? Lin Xi is a lunatic." Hang Qi didn't expect that the price Lin Xi usually gave was so high. No wonder everyone in the village was willing to follow Lin Xi in raising pigs.

After pacing back and forth in the study, Hang Qi finally agreed, "Okay, twenty is twenty."

The master finally convinced Hang Qi and said quickly, "Okay, I'll do it right away."
