Chapter 458 Official Sales Qualification
Zhao Yulong was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "I received a telegram from Governor Song two days ago. To be honest, the situation in Feng City is far more serious than you think. Comrade Song should be prepared for a protracted war."
Although he had been prepared, Song Jinan's heart still sank when he heard Zhao Yulong's words.
Gu Yuehuai drank water slowly on the side and glanced at Song Jinan with a slightly sympathetic look.
He is a rookie with a background and just starting out. He took over the mess of Feng City. One can imagine how difficult it was. However, according to the interpersonal communication habits of an old fox, Zhao Yulong should have praised him and given him some encouragement at this time.
Zhao Yulong did not do so, but instead gave Song Jinan a heads-up in advance. This shows how bad the real situation in Feng City is.
However, after a brief silence, Song Jinan said calmly: "Director Zhao, since I'm here, I'm prepared. Let's talk about the grain street first, which is far more important than the current chaos in Feng City."
Nowadays, there is a shortage of food everywhere, and the fact that Grain Street can provide food to stabilize the situation at this time is enough to show its strength. If he wants to take over Feng City and eliminate all the chaos at once, he cannot do without the cooperation of Grain Street.
Food is always hard currency, and this is also the purpose of his coming here today.
Zhao Yulong laughed and pointed at Xing Jian who was standing beside him: "Comrade Song, it's a coincidence that you came here today. Look, this is the boss behind Grain Street now, Xing Jian. You are all young people, so feel free to talk about anything."
"Are you the boss of Grain Street?!" Song Jinan could hardly hide the shock on his face, and he almost couldn't sit still.
He never expected that the sloppy guy in front of him would actually be the owner of the Grain Street he had been trying to find out about. How could such a person do such shady things under Cai Lan's command?
He controls a stable source of food, and can gain a foothold in any city in Country Z, not just Feng City. Of course, compared to other places, the chaotic and ungoverned Feng City is obviously the most suitable and convenient place to let go.
Seeing the shock on Song Jinan's face, Xing Jian felt quite refreshed and nodded, "Of course, how can I deceive you?"
Song Jinan couldn't tell what she was feeling, it was a bit complicated.
Zhao Yulong looked at Xing Jian, then at Song Jinan, his eyes flickering: "Do you two know each other?"
"Uncle Zhao, we are old acquaintances." Xing Jian did not hide it.
Zhao Yulong smiled and said, "Haha, since we are old acquaintances, wouldn't it be easier to talk about things? We are both in Feng City, and we both want to do something practical for the people. We have a common goal, that is, we are comrades-in-arms, and we should help each other."
He said this sternly and righteously, almost telling Xing Jian directly: Comrade Song is Governor Song's son, and he came here with a mission. We must cooperate, otherwise there will be trouble. Just agree to whatever he says.
Gu Yuehuai, who was standing by, found this funny but did not interrupt and focused on being his own backdrop.
Although she doesn't care about her identity being exposed, she would rather be a pig than a tiger, as she will be easily targeted by people with bad intentions.
Xing Jian was not stupid either. He heard Zhao Yulong's subtext. He glanced at Gu Yuehuai imperceptibly and saw that she looked calm and showed no sign of objection. He smiled and said, "Of course, of course."
Song Jinan breathed a sigh of relief, and the last bit of resentment towards Xing Jian also dissipated.
Xing Jian took a sip of water, patted his chest, and said with a righteous look on his face: "Comrade Song is determined to rectify Feng City and give the people a stable life. I admire you very much. If there is anything you need my cooperation, just tell me. As long as I can do it, I will definitely not refuse!"
Song Jinan also spoke in an official tone, gratefully saying: "In that case, I would like to thank you on behalf of the people of Feng City!"
The two sides did not get to the point, and they were just saying hello to each other. The next moment, Song Jinan said something that made Xing Jian's face freeze: "I hope that Boss Xing can hand over the grain to me, or to the government."
Zhao Yulong's eyebrows twitched. To be honest, he had also been thinking about the source of food, but he was afraid of angering Xing Jian. If he led his men away from Feng City directly, wouldn't he be pushing a gold nugget to others?
He looked at Song Jinan meaningfully and thought to himself, this is really a newborn calf that is not afraid of a tiger.
He had also investigated Xing Jian. He had been born into a wealthy family, but suddenly suffered a misfortune. He was wild and bandit-like, and difficult to control. He was not a good person. If you really annoyed him, not to mention the food supply, I'm afraid that everyone would die with you.
Gu Yuehuai was very calm. She had already guessed what Song Jinan was thinking.
In today's era, food is very precious, and a stable source of food is also what many bigwigs want to control. In a place like Feng City, controlling the food source is equivalent to controlling the right to speak.
Before Song Jinan came, Song Lin must have reminded him in advance that if he could gain control of Grain Street and then give it a proper official package, it would be several times easier for him to regulate Feng City. This coveted commodity would be coveted by everyone.
Xing Jian's eyelids twitched, trying to get some information from Gu Yuehuai, but the latter kept his eyelids drooped and remained silent.
He felt a little helpless, took a deep breath and said, "Comrade Song, I really want to agree to your request, but there is one thing you may not know. I am not the only boss behind Grain Street, and I am not the one who really keeps my word."
"You also know the importance of food sources. I dare not agree to it casually." Xing Jian looked a little bitter.
"Is there anyone else?" Song Jinan looked at Zhao Yulong, wondering if he knew about this.
Zhao Yulong nodded: "Indeed, I know about this matter. Xiaojian told me about it."
Song Jinan frowned, then said, "Then please invite the person over. I have to talk to him in person. Don't worry, I am sincere and I guarantee that the final price I give you will satisfy you."
Gu Yuehuai raised his eyes and asked with interest: "What's the price?"
Song Jinan has really grown up and even resorted to "bribery".
Hearing her voice, Song Jinan suddenly came back to his senses. He almost forgot that Gu Yuehuai was present. He became at a loss for a moment, and his previous calmness disappeared. He was a little embarrassed: "Yeah, it's nothing."
Gu Yuehuai smiled and didn't care about Song Jinan's change. She said, "Let me guess. You want the government to get the grain source and control the discourse power of Feng City. As for the price, it should be the qualification to sell grain officially, right? After all, no matter how good the grain street sounds, it is just a black market. Even if the people of Feng City don't care, they can't get rid of its reputation as a black market grain street."
Song Jinan's expression changed, and he looked at Gu Yuehuai with a dazed look.
Zhao Yulong also narrowed his eyes slightly. He originally thought that this beautiful girl was brought by Song Jinan, but he didn't expect that he was wrong. She analyzed all of Song Jinan's thoughts in just a few words. He didn't know what role she played in it.
