Volume 1 Chapter 291 Li Qiudong Lost His Mind
"Brother Xiaotian!"
When Li Xiaoying saw Li Tian coming, she was delighted and hurried to greet him.
Li Qiudong asked in a deep voice: "Tupak-Bearing Heavenly King Li, what are you doing here?"
"I heard that you found a sales channel for 30 cents a pound, so I came to take a look to avoid losing money for everyone." Li Tian smiled.
Li Qiudong felt that he was mocking him, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "What the hell do you mean? The market for oranges is particularly bad this year, and the price changes every day. A few days ago, you could really sell it for two yuan per pound, but now you definitely can't sell it for that price. The market determines the price, and now you can only sell it for thirty cents per pound."
"Why don't I believe it?"
Li Tian took out his cell phone and called Mr. Zhong, turning on the speakerphone.
Everyone held their breath and listened quietly.
Li Qiudong was stunned at first, and then he sneered: "If you can get Boss Zhong to come over and collect two dollars, I will kneel down and call you dad."
It's not like he had made the call before, only to be scolded by Boss Zhong. He didn't believe that Li Tian could get Boss Zhong to come to Lijia Village to buy oranges at the price of two yuan again.
Li Tian ignored him.
The phone rang twice and then was connected.
"Mr. Li."
"Come to Lijia Village to buy oranges. The price is still the same as last time, two yuan per pound."
"Yes, I will arrange for a truck and personnel to come over now."
"Well, hurry up."
It took less than ten seconds from connection to completion.
The whole village was stunned. They stood there like statues, looking at Li Tian in disbelief.
"Xiaotian, have you...done it?" Li Zhongping asked in disbelief.
Li Tian smiled and said, "Yes, it's settled."
"Two yuan per pound?" This was asked by Aunt Tao Xiu.
Li Tian nodded: "Yes, two yuan per pound."
Oh My God!
The whole village felt that it was a little unreal. Everyone knew how bad the market for oranges was this year, and they knew even better how hard it was to find a market for them. But Li Tian only made a phone call in less than ten seconds and had gotten things done for everyone. He even charged two yuan per pound for their oranges. It was truly shocking.
"Xiaotian, thank you, thank you."
Li Zhongping's eyes filled with tears, and he was about to kneel down and kowtow to Li Tian.
The others were also moved to tears of gratitude. They realized now how much of a jerk they had been when they went to Li Tian to demand an explanation a few days ago. However, Li Tian did not bear grudge against them and instead repaid their evil with kindness. This made them so ashamed that they dared not look Li Tian in the eye.
Li Tian quickly grabbed Li Zhongping and supported him: "Uncle Zhong, we are a family, and it is normal for family members to help each other."
Auntie Tao Xiu was filled with remorse and apologized to Li Tian, "Xiao Tian, I'm sorry. I was confused that day and said a lot of unpleasant things. Please don't take it to heart."
"No, you are all my elders. There is no reason for the younger generation to hate the elders." Li Tian shook his head and smiled.
The others also apologized to Li Tian at this time, saying that they were really bad people that day, and the straightforward ones slapped them twice on the spot.
Li Qiudong was stunned on the spot. He couldn't understand why Boss Zhong agreed to buy the oranges at a price of two yuan when Li Tian called him. This was obviously much higher than the market price. Could he sell it to Binhai at a price of three yuan?
This is impossible. The market conditions are the same across the country. How could it be different in coastal areas?
But that voice was definitely Boss Zhong's, there was no mistake!
What is going on?
Why do Li Tian’s words work so well?
He is really stupid.
"Donggua, kneel down in front of Brother Xiaotian and call him dad. You said it yourself." Li Xiaoying shouted at him.
For a moment, everyone's eyes were on Li Qiudong, with hostility in their eyes.
"Yes, you have to admit defeat, Donggua, you should kneel down to Xiaotian!" Aunt Taoxiu muttered.
"Donggua, everyone heard what you just said."
"Don't try to deny it. We're all watching you."
"If you're a man, you should keep your word!"
The whole village was directed at Li Qiudong. If it weren't for Li Qiudong, the orange incident wouldn't have had so many twists and turns. Everyone thought that Li Xiaoying was right, Li Qiudong was a troublemaker.
"You...I..."
Li Qiudong was in trouble at his grandmother's house. He knew that he was completely disgraced in the village and had no prestige at all.
"Forget it, forget it, Donggua was just a joke. By the way, Uncle Zhong and Aunt Taoxiu, I need your help with something." Li Tian didn't want to argue with Li Qiudong. After all, they were childhood friends, not strangers, and he still had feelings for them.
"Xiaotian, you helped us sell the oranges, which is a great favor. If you have any questions, just tell us and we will cooperate." Li Zhongping said.
Others echoed.
Li Tian handed out a copy of the contract to everyone and said, "My friend from the coastal area wants to rent a piece of land to grow oranges. I thought of our farmland in the mountains. It has been abandoned for more than ten years. I think people in our village will not grow anything there in the future. Instead of abandoning it, why not rent it to my friend to grow oranges? According to the proportion of the number of acres of farmland, everyone will pay a fixed rent every year. The contract period is tentatively set for ten years. How do you think?"
This is the place for the beast camp.
"That's fine, no problem at all."
"Yes, it's abandoned anyway, and it's not being used. We can collect some rent every year, which is a good thing."
"Yes, yes, Xiaotian, you are not asking us to help you, you are giving us money, we can't thank you enough."
No one had any objections. They took out their pens and happily signed their names on the contract. They also used ink pad and stamped their thumbprints.
While they were signing the contract, Li Tian secretly took a photo and sent it to Gu Ruoxi. Since his wife had specifically instructed him to do so, he naturally had to do it.
Li Qiudong's eyes were red. He glared at Li Tian angrily, then turned and left. Xiao Wang followed closely.
Li Tian walked out and called him: "Winter Melon!"
"Tota-Bearing Heavenly King Li, you won. Now the whole village is praising you. When I return to the village in the future, I will be chased and beaten like a rat crossing the street. I lost, can't I just leave? Why did you chase me out? Are you going to humiliate me on purpose to feel happy?" Li Qiudong ran back in a daze and roared at Li Tian.
Li Tian shook his head, feeling helpless about Li Qiudong's reaction.
"Since you said so, I really have nothing to say, winter melon, just take care of yourself."
He originally wanted to ease the relationship between the two, but Li Qiudong had lost his mind, and no matter what he said, Li Qiudong would think he was hypocritical.
After saying this, he returned to the village office.
"Li Tian, stop pretending to be a saint. You make me fucking sick. Don't I know you? You hold grudges and your mind is as small as a pinhole. When I was a child, Mrs. Huang from the next village mistakenly thought you stole her plums, so she came to your house to argue with your dad. The next day, you cut a circle of the bark of Mrs. Huang's plum tree and killed the whole tree." Li Qiudong began to dig up old accounts.
Li Tian was lazy in arguing with Li Qiudong. He remembered the incident clearly. It was Li Qiudong who stole the plums from Old Lady Huang and lied that someone in his family bought them and gave him a few. When Old Lady Huang saw him eating the plums, she naturally thought that he had stolen her plums.
He is very vindictive and will take revenge, but that is towards others. To his own people, he is very patient and tolerant.
