An Yuan'er never expected that Wan Fugui was actually a looks-obsessed person.
When she first came over, covered in mud and parched, Wan Fugui didn't even give her a sip of water. Now, he's practically ready to chop a watermelon in front of her with his bare hands.
An Yuan'er: "..."
An Yuan'er scratched the back of her head and said awkwardly, "It's me."
Wan Fugui blinked, incredulous: "You're that ugly girl from earlier?"
"Impossible! Fugui must be dreaming. Ugly girl turning into a fairy? My God!"
Just as Wan Fugui was rambling incoherently, Wan Sanliang walked in.
"Wealthy and noble, you must not speak nonsense. Get out of here."
Compared to Wan Fugui's shocked expression, Wan Sanli seemed to have been prepared all along, but when he saw An Yuan'er's true face, his eyes were still filled with amazement.
"Miss Wan, I suppose you came prepared, so I'll get straight to the point: what is your purpose in coming here?"
Wan Sanliang has keen insight and speaks sharply and directly, which is the style that An Yuan'er likes.
So she stopped hiding it and revealed her purpose: "I really came here specifically to ask Uncle Wan to allow me to take Wan Fugui away."
Wan Fugui was suddenly called out, his face turned red, and he stammered, "I... I knew from the beginning that you had ulterior motives towards me. You took a fancy to me because I'm handsome, but I'm very picky, and I'm not so easy to seduce."
An Yuan'er: "..."
Wan Sanliang kicked Wan Fugui: "You brat, don't talk nonsense."
An Yuan'er continued, "The fields outside must belong to the Wan family. I wonder how Uncle Wan has managed the grain grown there over the years?"
Before Wan Sanliang could speak, Wan Fugui interrupted, saying, "They've all been bought up by unscrupulous merchants outside at low prices. Father is unwilling to leave this place to stay with Mother, nor is he willing to deal with outside merchants. That's why the grain hasn't been able to sell for years."
Wan Fugui's tone was one of deep sorrow.
"What is the acquisition price?"
"The purchase price for rice is 1 liang per mu, for vegetables it's 2 liang per mu, and for fruit it's 5 liang per mu." Despite Wan Fugui's carefree appearance, he is quite knowledgeable about family matters.
An Yuan'er was taken aback. The vegetables and fruits grown here were big and red, yet they were bought up at such a low price. After deducting costs, there was hardly any profit to be made.
"Uncle Wan, my family owns more than a dozen shops, which are in the business of grains and fruits. I need a supply channel now. I want you to have me exclusively purchase all the things you grow on a quarterly basis every year. I will cover the transportation and costs. In return, I will give you a harvest price that is 50% higher than your original purchase price every year. What do you think?"
"Exclusive?" Wan Fugui was very interested in this word.
"Yes, after I acquire it, no one else can acquire it, no matter how high the price they offer. The terms are in black and white, which is fair to both parties. If either party violates the terms, they must pay 20 times the amount in compensation."
A compensation fee of 20 times the amount is, as you can imagine, an astronomical figure.
Wan Sanliang was still hesitant. He was always cautious and dared not make promises lightly.
Wan Fugui thought for a moment and said to his father, "Father, I think the exclusive price is good, and the cooperation between the two parties will provide a stable output channel. You should agree, right?"
