Chapter 978: Being Low-key is Wrong
Butler Zhang had already come close to Chen Liang. When he was about to speak, he felt uneasy and stood at the door for a while before returning to Chen Liang, "Brother, listen carefully. I, your elder brother, have sacrificed myself for your future prosperity.
That's right, as I said just now, the farm you are going to take over has a very gratifying harvest every year.
With so much food, I'm afraid we can't finish it all by ourselves. Brother, I'll introduce you to the owner of Liang's Grain Store later.
After Zhuangzi's grain is harvested, you sell it to him, and he will definitely benefit from your profits.
But after you get the benefits, don't forget me, your big brother!"
Shen Liang pretended not to understand, “Brother, will it benefit me if I just sell the grain to Liangji Grain Store?”
Butler Zhang looked at Shen Liang as if he were a fool, "Brother, you are the manager anyway, how come you don't even understand this little bit of truth."
Shen Liang thought that since he was regarded as a fool, he would continue to play dumb. He chuckled and said, "Brother, I really don't understand, and I will explain it to you."
Butler Zhang sat up straight, acting like an elder brother lecturing a younger brother, "You don't even understand such a simple thing, you still lack experience!
Look at you, you don't want to cling to the Shen family, which is such a powerful family, but instead run out to be the manager of this small family.
But, since I'm your elder brother, listen carefully. I'm only going to tell you this way of making money once!"
Shen Liang immediately pretended to be well-behaved and listened to what Butler Zhang said.
Butler Zhang really enjoyed this process. "I tell you, by then the farm will have harvested a lot of grain. For example, if they harvested a total of 5,000 kilograms of grain, when you report it to the master, just say 4,700 kilograms.
If a pound of grain sells for twenty cents, you should quote your master seventeen cents.
Then, the rest are yours.
So, today, Big Brother is kind enough to introduce you to Mr. Liang. In the future, he will be able to help you with such matters.
But don’t forget the benefits I have received!
You are really lucky, it turns out that all these benefits are mine.
But there is no other way, because my master sold the farm!
But fortunately, we are brothers. After this is done, I don’t want much. Just give me 10% and it’s fine.
How about it, Brother Shen, am I good enough to be your big brother?"
Shen Liang scolded Butler Zhang in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He bowed to Butler Zhang and was about to thank him.
There was a strange knock on the door outside. Butler Zhang listened carefully and said to Shen Liang with a smile, “Mr. Liang is here.”
Butler Zhang quickly stood up and, with an exaggerated smile on his face, invited Liang Xian in. "Hello, Boss Liang!"
After Liang Xian saluted Zhang Guan, he looked at Shen Liang, "Who is this?"
Butler Zhang introduced Shen Liang to Liang Xian. When Liang Xian heard that Shen Liang's surname was Shen, and because Butler Zhang kept calling him "steward", Liang Xian became even more interested in Shen Liang.
He bowed respectfully to Shen Liang and said, "Manager Shen, I have long heard of your great name. It is truly a great honor for me to meet you today!"
Although Shen Liang felt disdainful in his heart, he still returned the gift to Liang Xian.
Butler Zhang enthusiastically asked everyone to take a seat and asked the waiter standing at the door to bring new tea.
Liang Xian, on his side, was even more eager to talk to Shen Liang, "Manager Shen, I wonder which business you are in charge of in the Shen family?"
Shen Liang directly told Liang Xian that he had left the Shen family and was now working for the Ye family.
Liang Xian tilted his head and thought for a long time, but couldn't think of which Ye family it was. He was no longer as warm to Shen Liang as he was at the beginning.
Steward Zhang told Liang Xian, "Boss Liang, let me tell you, Steward Shen's current boss is also very powerful. Our Zhang family's farm has been taken over by his master."
Liang Xian put away his previous neglect and became polite to Shen Liang again, "Then I will have to deal with Manager Shen again in the future."
Shen Liang did not respond to Liang Xian's words, but he was very curious at the moment, because he had been thinking about it for a long time, and he didn't remember that there was a family with the surname Liang doing grain business in Qingfeng City.
"Mr. Liang, I have something I want to ask you. Where is your shop located?"
Liang Xian looked at Butler Zhang, who pretended to have forgotten and patted his forehead, "Look at my brain, I was so happy that I forgot to talk about the business.
Brother Shen, Mr. Liang’s shop is not in our Qingfeng City. His shop is in Yuehu Town, not far from the village.
Brother Shen, don't worry. Just leave the matter I just mentioned to Mr. Liang.
I guarantee that no one will notice and we can make some money."
Liang Xian echoed the assurance, “Steward Shen, what Steward Zhang said is what I want to say.
I have been working with Butler Zhang for many years and there has never been any mistake.
So please rest assured, Manager Shen, our cooperation will be a pleasant one."
Butler Zhang raised his teacup and said, "Yes, it's a pleasure."
Shen Liangze did not cooperate by raising his teacup. He stood up and looked at Butler Zhang with disdain, then glanced at Liang Xian, "I have something else to do, so I'll excuse you two."
Butler Zhang grabbed Shen Liang and said, "Shen Liang, don't refuse a toast and then drink a penalty drink.
I'm telling you, you have to agree to this matter today, whether you agree or not. You have no choice."
Shen Liang pushed Butler Zhang’s hand away and said, “Mr. Zhang, let me ask you, which ear of yours heard that I want to cooperate with you?
"You are a bunch of unreputable people. I, Shen Liangcai, will not be associated with you!"
Liang Xian thought that they hadn't reached an agreement on the price, so he stepped forward and said, "Butler Shen, we can discuss the price. At worst, I can make less money, but at least you and Butler Zhang can make some money."
Shen Liang pushed Liang Xian aside and said, "Who cares about your little money?"
Butler Zhang snorted coldly, "Chen Liang, you are too ungrateful. We pity you for not making much money, so what's wrong with helping you find a way to make money?"
Shen Liang patted the place where Butler Zhang had grabbed him just now, “Butler Zhang, when did I ever say that I earned less money?
You earn less money and haven't met a good master, but it doesn't mean that my master is bad. I just don't earn any money!
Actually, I don’t want to compete with you because I’m afraid of scaring you.
Our master is low-key, so those of us who do things must also learn to be low-key.
I didn't expect that my low profile was wrong."
Butler Zhang obviously didn't believe Shen Liang's words, "Just brag, Qingfeng City is so small, who doesn't know who!
Our Zhang family is a well-known family in Qingfeng City. As a housekeeper, I only make two taels of silver a month. How can you surpass me?"
"I'm really sorry to disappoint Steward Zhang. Not only can I surpass you, I'm afraid I'll earn much more than you."
