Chapter 122 Manager Liu
Chapter 122 Manager Liu
Before Su Yue could even open her mouth to speak, the grain shop owner, all smiles, quickly stepped forward and asked, "Young lady, what would you like to sell?"
Su Yue was slightly taken aback at first, then looked the entire shop over with great interest.
Upon seeing this, she almost burst out laughing. The shelves in the shop were completely empty.
There were very few goods left, yet the shopkeeper still had the mind to ask the customers what they wanted to buy, which was quite amusing!
However, Su Yue did not show it, but instead smiled and replied, "Shopkeeper, do you have any grain seeds for sale?"
Upon hearing this, the smile on the grain shop owner's face instantly froze.
But in the blink of an eye, he quickly regained his composure and replied with a dry laugh, "Oh dear, young lady, you've come at an inopportune time!"
Nowadays, let alone our small town, even the surrounding towns are probably finding it difficult to find grain seeds!
Not to mention my inconspicuous little shop!
Su Yue frowned slightly and asked with a hint of doubt, "If that's the case, then why did you ask me what I wanted to buy just now?"
Furthermore, tell me, what exactly do you have left to sell in your shop?
"Maybe I'll find something I need among them!" she said, casually lifting her hands behind her back and leisurely looking around the shop, touching things here and there with an air of nonchalance.
Seeing this, the grain shop owner couldn't help but scratch the back of his head in embarrassment.
With a blush, he chuckled awkwardly, "Hehe... To be honest, all we have left in our shop is a little wheat bran and a small amount of dark flour."
"Judging by your graceful figure, young lady, I suppose you wouldn't be interested in these things."
Su Yue looked at the grain shop owner with a smile, and instead of joking or teasing, she asked directly, "May I ask your surname, sir?"
The grain shop owner was somewhat surprised, thinking to himself that the young girl had clearly looked like she was there to buy grain seeds.
Why did they suddenly ask about my surname? Despite his doubts, he politely replied, "Oh, young lady, my surname is Liu, and my given name is Chenglin."
Hearing this, Su Yue nodded slightly and continued, "So it's Manager Liu. To be honest, I've come here to discuss a business deal with you, but I don't know what your opinion is?"
As she said this, her gaze was fixed on Manager Liu, as if trying to catch some clues from the changes in his expression.
However, as soon as Manager Liu heard the word "buying and selling," his expression instantly turned serious.
He quickly waved his hand and said, "Oh dear, young lady, this shop is a legitimate business. We would never do anything like murder, arson, or robbery!"
Seeing Manager Liu's nervous reaction, Su Yue was taken aback at first, but then she could no longer suppress her laughter.
"Hahaha... Manager Liu, you are quite an interesting person! If I really wanted to do such illegal and disorderly things, why would I come to your little grain shop?"
The deal I'm referring to, of course, is related to grain. Your thought process is a bit too convoluted!
Manager Liu's face flushed slightly from Su Yue's laughter, like a ripe apple. He scratched his head awkwardly and said, "Oh dear, young lady, you're too kind of a joker! Grain is very precious these days!"
If you're looking to do business, you should be going to the biggest grain shop in town, not my tiny stall! Young lady, please stop teasing me!
However, Su Yue remained unmoved by Manager Liu's words. She crossed her arms, stared at Manager Liu with a half-smile, and asked, "So, are you going to do this business or not?"
Seeing this, how could Manager Liu dare to turn away the business that was offered to him?
He quickly put on a fawning smile and bowed obsequiously, replying, "Hehehe, don't worry, young lady, if it's a legitimate business, our little shop is naturally willing to take it on!"
Actually, don't be fooled by Liu Chenglin's seemingly honest and simple appearance; he's actually quite a troublemaker!
Otherwise, how could his small shop still stand firm and continue to operate after experiencing so many natural and man-made disasters?
Therefore, when he heard that a deal was about to be made for him, he was overjoyed and had no reason not to do it.
At this point, Su Yue had clearly lost patience with beating around the bush with Manager Liu. She narrowed her eyes slightly and said directly, "I have seeds and grain here, but I don't know how much Manager Liu can eat?"
Upon hearing this incredible news, Manager Liu felt his head buzzing, as if he had been struck hard by a hammer of joy, and his vision blurred with stars. Grain seeds and grain!
Right now, aren't these the things that people outside need and crave most?
If your shop has enough seeds and grain to sell, and you have complete control over the price.
Wouldn't wealth then flow in like a tidal wave?
Thinking of this, Manager Liu trembled with excitement, as if he could already see countless gold and silver treasures piled up like mountains in front of him.
"Young lady, are you really not joking with me? You're really willing to sell me the seeds and grain?"
Manager Liu stared wide-eyed at the little girl in front of him in disbelief, his voice becoming somewhat shrill with excitement.
"Of course it's true! You can have as many as you want. But..."
Su Yue smiled slightly, deliberately drawing out her words, her beautiful eyes fixed on Manager Liu with a half-smile.
"I have one small condition: if you can do it, all these seeds and grains will be yours."
Manager Liu was so focused on the wealth that was about to be in his hands that he had no time to think about anything else.
Without a second thought, he nodded and replied, "Alright, alright, miss, just tell me what you want. Even if it's ten or eight, I'll absolutely comply!"
His mind was already filled with dreams of getting rich, and he had no time to consider the possible risks or difficulties.
Su Yue slowly extended three slender fingers and said softly, "You can only add three copper coins to the price of the seeds and grains I sell to you before you resell them."
These words were like a bucket of cold water poured over his head, instantly shattering Manager Liu's dream of getting rich.
His smile froze, and he stood there dumbfounded for a long while before he came to his senses.
However, after careful consideration, he quickly came to terms with it.
Although he couldn't make the huge profits he had originally envisioned, even selling it for just three copper coins more per pound would still yield a considerable profit.
In this way, he could still make a fortune.
