Chapter 383: Scramble for the Peanut Oil

Chapter 383: Scramble for the Peanut Oil

Translator: Lonelytree

After Gong Tianhao received Li Yuanhang’s report, his expression was calm, as if he had expected this.

Li Yuanhang poured out his grievances, “When I asked them to buy this peanut oil in the beginning, they all looked at me with sarcasm. They looked at me like I was a lunatic.”

But he was being a lunatic. He was the CEO’s Special Assistant, but he was there promoting peanut oil. Did he lack money? No!

So, why was he selling peanut oil like a common hawker? Other than Li Yuanhang suddenly losing his mind, there was no other explanation.

“When they bought the oil from me, I knew they were mocking me. They were laughing at me in secret.” Li Yuanhang continued, “But now things have turned.” He sounded smug. “They are now begging me to sell them the peanut oil. I didn’t ask them, but they came to me willingly. Earlier, they thought

1000 per catty of peanut oil was expensive, but now they’ve raised it to 3000 per catty. And some still think that’s too low!”

Li Yuanhang paused and asked curiously, “Tianhao, tell me the truth. Does Xiao Lingyu have any more peanut oil?”

The comers of Gong Tianhao’s mouth curled up, and he said, “Not at the moment.”

Perhaps Li Yuanhang had gotten addicted to being a hawker. When he heard Gong Tianhao, he looked disappointed. “Okay then.” Li Yuanhang sighed.

But then Gong Tianhao said, “However, Yu’er’s family has harvested more than 4,000 catties of peanuts. They have only used around 1000 catties for peanut oil.”

Li Yuanhang’s eyes immediately lit up as he said with a slightly excited tone, “Tianhao, you mean to say that Xiao Lingyu’s family still has more than 3,000 catties of peanuts?

“Since we got around 500 catties from 1,000 catties of peanuts, we should get 1000 to 2000 catties of peanut oil from 3000 catties of peanuts.”

Li Yuanhang calculated, “Now, a catty of peanut oil can be sold for 3,000. 2,000 catties can be sold for a huge sum of 6,000,000. Tianhao, tell Xiao Lingyu to turn those peanuts into peanut oil, okay?”

“..” Gong Tianhao grinned and said, “Li Yuanhang, does our family lack this bit of money?”

Li Yuanhang had a face full of question marks. “…” What did he mean by that?

Gong Tianhao continued, “Although I’m not married to Yu’Er yet, my money will be Yu ‘Er’s money in the future.

“So, does Yu’Er lack this six million? Yu ‘Er can do whatever she wants with the remaining peanuts. If she wants to extract oil from them, then fine. If she wants to leave them there to rot, it’s fine too.”

…” Li Yuanhang wiped his forehead which was devoid of sweat, and nodded in agreement. “Right, right, right. I know that Young Master Gong is now an extreme wife-doter. You win.” But this was too much. The peanuts were wonderful products. It would be a shame for them to rot.

Of course, Li Yuanhang knew that the Xiao Family would not let the peanuts go to waste. So Gong Tianhao was just toying with him.

Gong Tianhao chuckled. “Extreme wife-doter. Where did you get that from?”

Li Yuanhang, ..” Could he tell Gong Tianhao that he had been secretly reading romance webnovels with overbearing CEOs in his pastime?

“Ahem…” Li Yuanhang said with a slightly red face, “You know about our secretaries. They have been talking about prince charming, domineering CEO, and romance webnovels. I picked up some terms here and there.”

“… Gong Tianhao suddenly said, “They sure are free to have time to read and discuss webnovels when they’re supposed to be working, Give them more work to do.”

Li Yuanhang replied with a little bit of guilt, “Okay!” He felt sorry to shift the blame to the secretaries.

Of course, that was better than letting anyone find out that he had an addiction to romance webnovels.

Xiao Lingyu would never have thought that a mere 500 catties of peanut oil would cause a stir in the capital.

When Xiao Lingyu heard about this situation from Gong Tianhao, she was a little stunned.

Xiao Lingyu still asked with some uncertainty, “Are you telling the truth? So those people are now hounding Special Assistant Li?”

After asking questions, she came to terms with the answer. Her products would always cause a stir.

In the capital, there was no shortage of rich and powerful people. The things they enjoyed were the most expensive and exquisite.

In the beginning, they might have bought the things from Li Yuanhang because of their pride, but after eating them, very few people could resist the temptation of peanut oil.

Gong Tianhao nodded and said, “Yu’Er, do you still have the peanut oil?”

Xiao Lingyu said, “There are more than 3000 catties of peanuts left. I originally plan to sell them as snacks.” The peanuts grown using the spring water were perfect. There was no bad peanut. They could be prepared in many different methods.

Xiao Lingyu thought for a moment and said, “Alright, I’l use half of them to squeeze into peanut oil. I estimate there are another one thousand catties of peanut oil. You should inform Special Assistant Li about that.”

“Okay!” Gong Tianhao replied.

Li Yuanhang received a call from Gong Tianhao. When he heard that he was estimated to have another one thousand catties of peanut oil, he became a little excited.

He immediately fired off a message to everyone in his circle of friends. “1000 catties of peanut oil, 4000 RMB per catty! If you wait too long, they will be gone!”

The price rose from 1000 to 4000. If Xiao Lingyu knew about this, she would definitely wipe her face and say with a trembling heart, “What a cunning businessman!”

For someone with Li Yuanhang’s status, his circle of friends consisted of all big shots… except for the people in his company chatgroup.

In less than ten seconds after his message was sent, a call came in.

Li Yuanhang looked at the caller ID and raised his eyebrows. Then, he picked up the phone and said, “Chairman Zhu, what’s the matter?”

Chairman Zhu also went straight to the point and said, “Special Assistant Li, do you have more of that peanut oil?”

These days, his family had swapped back to the imported cooking oil. They were slowly adapting back to the taste, but something was still not right. The dishes didn’t taste as good. He even once suspected that something had been added to the peanut oil. Otherwise, how could it be addictive?

However, this speculation was immediately denied.

Li Yuanhang had his reputation on the line. He wouldn’t do something like that. Plus, Li Yuanhang had money and power. Why would he resort to that method to sell peanut oil?

Plus, after his family ate the peanut oil, they didn’t feel any discomfort. On the contrary, when they went to the hospital for a check-up, the doctors were surprised to find that some of their old injuries had healed. The doctors were curious. They asked if they had tried some new tonic.

However, they didn’t. This situation happened to more than one family. Everyone who had this improvement had bought the peanut oil from Li Yuanhang. Therefore, they unanimously turned their attention to the peanut oil.

Life was priceless.

No matter how rich and powerful they were when they were alive, they couldn’t bring power and riches with them after they died. They had to live in the present. With their current status, of course, they wanted to live longer to enjoy life.

The peanut oil became even more precious than the health products that they spent millions on. Therefore, these people watched Li Yuanhang’s every move.

Once Li Yuanhang fired off the message, it naturally attracted these people’s attention. Li Yuanhang was not surprised to receive the call from Chairman Zhu.

He smiled and said, “Yes. The peanut oil is coming again, but it will take some time for shipping. There is an estimation of one thousand catties.”

Chairman Zhu’s eyes lit up, and he immediately said, “Special Assistant Li, I want to reserve two… 500 catties of peanut oil.”

He could eat ten catties of peanut oil for four to five days, so 500 catties of peanut oil was not a lot to him.

Li Yuanhang raised his eyebrows and repeated, “500 catties?”

“Yes!” Chairman Zhu answered truthfully.

Of course, he didn’t mean to consume everything. He wanted to use the peanut oil to build some favors. Everyone in the business circle knew about the value of Li Yuanhang’s peanut oil.

Therefore, it was perfect for building favors with. He was a businessman, so he naturally had the calculations of a businessman.

“Hehe, 500 catties? Chairman Zhu, your appetite is really big.”

On the other end of the phone, Li Yuanhang had a faint smile on his face as if he knew what Chairman Zhu was planning, A faint sneer appeared on the comer of his mouth.

He continued, “There’s only a total of 1,000 catties of peanut oil, and you want 500 catties at one go? Do you have that big of a family, or do you have other plans for the peanut oil?”

He was no fool.

Zhu Chengan clearly wanted to use the peanut oil to build favors. In that case, why wouldn’t Li Yuanhang do that himself? Why would he sell the peanut oil?

Of course, with the status of the Imperial Group, he didn’t need to do that.

After being exposed by Li Yuanhang, Zhu Chengan’s expression immediately became embarrassed.

However, as a businessman, he was still a bit thick-skinned. He soon returned to normal.

He said, “Then, special assistant Li, how much peanut oil can I buy?”

Li Yuanhang thought for a moment and said, “At most 30 catties. I won’t ask for a higher price. It’s stated in my message. 4000 RMB per catty.”

Zhu Chengan, “…” He would pay more if Li Yuanhang wouldn’t limit his purchase. He was not short of money.

Zhu Chengan said, “Special Assistant Li, isn’t 30 catties too little? It’ll be gone in a few days. Can you make it 100 catties?”

100 catties was not enough for his family. He couldn’t use them as gifts.

The comers of Li Yuanhang’s mouth curved into a smile. He pushed the glasses on his nose with his hand and said indifferently, “No! Chairman Zhu, the cake is only this big. You have to consider the others. Other people want to have a piece of the cake too.”

Li Yuanhang knew how many people were waiting for the new batch of peanut oil. Some had even reached out to Li Yuanhang in private, telling him to reserve the peanut oil for them. They would pay any price.

Because of this, Li Yuanhang had no scruples about raising the price.

What if the peanut oil won’t sell?

That was not a problem.

Li Yuanhang was very confident.

In the end, Zhu Yuanan bargained with Li Yuanhang, raising the stock from 30 catties to 35 catties. 5 catties were better than nothing.

Following that, Li Yuanhang received a series of calls.

There were many people who had the same intentions as Zhu Chengan. Li Yuanhang rejected all of them. He only sold them the necessary amount and then a bit extra to keep them indebted to him.

The man was real cunning!
