Ji Qingyan leaned into Lin Yi’s embrace and whispered, “Mm...”
At the Starmoon Hotel in the Dongsan County.
Although it was also a hotel, there was quite a difference in scale compared to the hotel Lin Yi was staying in.
Even so, it was considered quite good in Dongsan County.
Room 307 on the third floor. There were a lot of side dishes on the table. There were also two boxes of beer on the ground and empty beer bottles on the table. “Brother Gao, are you sure you want to give them more money?”
Yu Mingming, who was blushing, asked drunkenly with a cigarette in his hand. “If we don’t raise the price, I’m afraid that if they really won’t sell it, our team’s performance will fall short of expectation,” Gao Dexi said.
“But if the price really increases, there won’t be much profit left for us.”
Food harvesters like them did not earn much at all, but their performance bonuses were not bad. The more food they collected every year, the higher their achievements.
Moreover, there was another rule. The price had to be cheap so that they could obtain a higher performance bonus.
If they raised the price now, even if they ended up collecting more food, the bonus would not be much.
“I know that,” said Gao Dexi.
“But I’ve already said it. It’s impossible to go back on my word.”
“But there’s another problem here,” Yu Mingming said.
“If we collect food according to the new price, we have to collect all the food in Dongsan County. Only then can we make a little profit. If we only collect a portion, we might even get our bonus cut.”
“That’s what I’m more concerned about.”
Gao Dexi played with his wine glass and said,
“We still have to think of a way to deal with this. Otherwise, there will definitely still be some greedy people waiting for that kid.”
“But he’s obviously lying. Grain hasn’t been that expensive in years.”
“That’s where we’re at a disadvantage,” Gao Dexi said.
“It’s true that he’s a swindler. After he swindles the grain away, we still won’t be able to get enough. This will also be disadvantageous for us.”
“F*ck! What a f*cking spoilsport!”
Yu Mingming scolded, “I thought I could buy all the grain at a low price, but I actually met someone who’s ruining my plans!”
“Calm down. This is not the worst-case scenario. I’ll think of something.”
“Brother Gao, do you think you can find someone from the county to speak up for us and stir up the market to trick them into selling food to us?”
“Yes?”
Gao Dexi was suspicious, as if he had thought of something.
“To be honest, our manager seems to actually know someone from Dongsan County. His name seems to be Zhou Feng. I heard that he has quite a bit of say. 1’11 contact the manager and ask about the situation..”
