Chapter 19 Being Threatened
This time, the farm she was going to mainly grew cotton, coffee, and various nuts.
Cotton is a good thing. It not only keeps you warm, but can also be used as fuel in emergencies. In extremely cold weather, it can be considered a life-saving material.
When he arrived at the farm, Xu Sichen saw large cotton fields with only straw left.
I guess the farmers had already finished harvesting before the rain.
If there is no time to pick the cotton, the quality of the rain-soaked cotton will be reduced by a level.
"Sorry, all the cotton here has a unified buyer and will not be sold to anyone else." The farmer refused directly without even a glance.
Xu Sichen directly took out his bank card: "I'll give you double the price for one ton of cotton!"
"Okay! Deal!" The farmer agreed without any hesitation.
Afterwards, Xu Sichen went to another farm not far away.
It is the largest nut planting base in Country L, and nearly 70% of the nuts on the market are produced here.
"I'm sorry, miss. We only supply goods to supermarkets and shopping malls here. We don't do any retail. Please leave as soon as possible." The sales staff at the base started to drive people away with a look of contempt.
Xu Sichen was not annoyed and continued to use his money to pave the way.
We needed 200 kilograms of each of the processed and vacuum-packed peanuts, hazelnuts, cashews, pistachios, almonds, and pecans.
There are also roasted coffee beans, so they can be counted together and loaded into the truck.
Although for a farm like theirs that directly supplies major supermarkets, the quantity Xu Sichen wants can only be considered retail.
But who made her bid so high?
The extra money is the salesperson’s extra income.
He would be stupid not to want it.
Halfway after leaving the farm, Xu Sichen put all the things in the car into the storage space. He was thinking of taking a look around to see if there was anything else he could buy when his cell phone rang.
It was a call from the farmer David, informing her to go to the warehouse to pick up the goods. The rice, flour, grain, oil, pork, mutton, beef and other products she ordered four days ago had been loaded onto the truck and would be delivered to the warehouse in an hour.
"Okay, I'll be there right away!" Xu Sichen hung up the phone and rushed towards the warehouse.
David's batch of supplies accounted for the bulk of her collection, and she would not allow any mistakes to occur.
…
When Xu Sichen arrived at the warehouse, there was still more than an hour before the time agreed with David.
She opened the warehouse and found three RVs, eight cold chain trucks, and seven Hummers parked inside, one of which was a second-hand Hummer that was a gift from the car dealership.
While no one was around, she got into the car one by one, started the car, and tried driving for a while.
Except for the cold chain truck being too large and difficult to drive, she had no problem driving anything else.
Not long after, the rumbling sound of a truck was heard outside the door, and Xu Sichen quickly put the car into the space.
When I opened the door, I saw more than a dozen large trucks driving towards me.
Fortunately, the warehouse she rented was located in a remote area with a large space for parking, otherwise the car would not be able to drive in.
"Hi, Xu, long time no see!"
David got off one of the trucks, said hello to Xu Sichen, and then looked around: "There are so many things, are you going to collect them by yourself?"
Ignoring the calculation in David's eyes, Xu Sichen said calmly, "Is there a problem?"
David laughed and said, "Of course there's no problem with that!"
"These five cars are all filled with rice. This car is filled with cooking oil, and this car..."
David pointed at the truck in front of him and introduced it to Xu Sichen, while asking the workers on the truck to move the goods.
When the workers were pushing the goods into the warehouse, Xu Sichen blocked their way.
"Wait a minute! I want to check the quality of the goods first."
The smile on David's face gradually disappeared: "Xu, what do you mean? Doubt me?"
"Isn't this my right?" Xu Sichen remained unmoved.
"Yes, it's your right!" David sneered. "Xu, I know there are many treacherous businessmen in your country, China, which makes you suspicious by nature. But this is Country L, and we L people value credibility the most. You should adapt as soon as possible."
After saying that, he gave a look to a worker.
The worker grabbed a bag of rice, placed it in front of Xu Sichen, and opened it.
The exposed rice is crystal clear, and each grain is evenly distributed. If you get close, you can smell a faint rice fragrance. Apart from that, there is nothing special about it.
"What do you think? Those are the best things!" David showed a smug smile on his face.
Unexpectedly, Xu Sichen took out a sampler from him.
He raised his hand and inserted it into each bag.
But it was blocked by a big, strong hand.
"Mr. David, what do you mean?" Xu Sichen looked at him with coldness in his eyes.
"Xu, that's about it. You wanted to see the goods, and I showed them to you. We should finish counting the goods as soon as possible, and then we can settle the payment. You should know that our time is very valuable."
David's body, like an iron tower, blocked Xu Sichen's way, obviously meaning that he didn't want her to check again.
If Xu Sichen had initially suspected that there was something wrong with the goods they delivered, now it was almost certain.
"What if I insist on doing so?" Xu Sichen said calmly without any fear.
David's lips curled up in a mocking arc: "Xu, you are in Country L now! If you do business in Country L, you must abide by our Country L's rules."
As soon as he finished speaking, more than a dozen burly men gradually surrounded Xu Sichen.
For a moment, the atmosphere became solemn.
a long time.
"OK! You win!" Xu Sichen compromised, but his tone was as calm as ever, without any panic.
David laughed even more proudly when he heard this: "Hahaha, that's right. There's a saying in China that goes, 'He who knows the times is a hero,' isn't it?"
All the items were moved into the warehouse. Xu Sichen cooperated very well and paid the remaining balance. He also paid an additional transportation fee at their request.
After all, labor costs in Country L are very expensive.
Looking at the fleet of trucks driving away, Xu Sichen slowly tugged at the corner of his mouth into a sneer.
It took almost the entire afternoon to check the goods sent by David.
Nearly half of the rice, flour, grain and oil are old grains.
According to the video standards of Country L, it can be thrown directly into the trash can.
The quality of livestock meat, eggs and milk is not a problem, but the quantity is almost half.
You guys asked for it by stealing my supplies.
Looking at the sky outside which had become completely dark, Xu Sichen changed into a black sports suit, took out his newly bought black Hummer, and drove directly towards David's farm.
When she was three kilometers away from the farm, she put her car into the space and continued on foot.
