"Three hundred tons, every day."
Hou San uttered a number that left Gu Yunyang speechless.
He assumed the other party would definitely ask for an exorbitant amount, since this was a time to claim credit.
If we don't ask for more now, when will we ask for more?
But Gu Yunyang didn't expect Hou San to have such a big appetite.
Three hundred tons—that's more grain than a person could eat in their entire life.
Based on an average lifespan of 75 years, and an adult's daily intake of 1.2 to 2.3 kilograms.
The total amount of food consumed in a lifetime is only 30 to 63 tons.
Hou San is asking for an exorbitant amount!
Gu Yunyang shook his head speechlessly and looked at Hou San, saying, "Mr. Hou, where do you think our grain comes from? Do you think we just move it directly from the granaries in the capital? Even if we did move it directly, it's impossible to give you 300 tons a day. There are countless people watching."
Hou San also knew that this number was far too large.
However, there's a saying that goes, "If you raise the price on the spot, you should try to negotiate it back on the spot."
If you aim high, you'll get somewhere in the middle. He'll ask for more first, and when you haggle later, he'll base it on that, right?
Gu Yunyang shook his head, even though he could provide it.
As the wood-based ability grows, the area of the base space developed each day also continues to increase.
Its cultivable area has also been continuously increasing.
Gu Yunyang had even started planning to transform the rooftops of these buildings in the base space into arable land.
Whether it's fruit trees or other grains, it's fine.
At worst, we still have sweet potatoes.
This stuff is easy to grow on rooftops too.
"Mr. Hou, you should also consider reality. Don't just open your mouth and say whatever comes to mind."
You know our food wasn't transported from those Russians in the north.
It was brought back by sea from places like Japan.
Domestically, we can also get some, since the wilderness is so open, right?
But this part is very small; Chinese people are still too diligent, so we don't dare to make a big fuss about it.
As for your guess that we transported the grain from a granary somewhere, perhaps your bosses could, but we definitely didn't.
I swear on my life and my integrity, I swear it on my life.
Gu Yunyang looked at Hou San and said seriously, "You can tell this from our daily shipment volume."
In the capital city alone, we ship goods every day, and besides you, there are several small black markets.
Yes, Mr. Hou, don't worry, we will definitely not supply them with more than one-tenth of your amount.
"You should still be able to trust our integrity these past few days, right?"
Hou San thought about it for a moment and found that what Gu Yunyang said made perfect sense and was correct.
In fact, the boss behind Hou San did indeed use his connections to investigate.
Gu Yunyang's group, and even the black market suppliers that Gu Bei and his associates provided goods to, had all been investigated.
It was as if it appeared out of thin air.
They didn't even know how these people managed to get the stuff in.
Admittedly, the capital city no longer has outer city walls, as if goods can be transported in from anywhere.
However, these people were transporting goods in large quantities, so they didn't dare to directly monitor Gu Yunyang's warehouse.
But spread out your manpower and keep watch from a more distant location.
They never found any trace of large-scale cargo transportation.
Not a trace can be found.
They didn't even have a single clue, let alone any trace.
With so many things, you'll eventually need a car, right?
So, how many cars does the capital city, which is so big, actually have?
There were indeed cars passing by, but they definitely weren't Gu Yunyang's or his group's.
