Chapter 280 Another Benefit of Trade
"Brother Jiang, if you still have questions, you can look at the contract we signed at the beginning. It clearly states that if one party disagrees with the price, they can negotiate. I am not a person who goes back on my word."
Wang Jin winked at Du Yuyan, and Du Yuyan took out a contract with a smile on her face and handed it to Jiang Zhengqing, while persuading: "Chief Jiang, since ancient times, there have been price increases and price reductions in transactions. Now the market is not good, price reductions are inevitable, so don't take it to heart."
Jiang Zhengqing looked at the contract, sighed, and his face flushed slightly, as if he was trying to suppress his anger.
But in the end, he lowered his head and said dejectedly: "Just do as you said, Brother Wang, and renegotiate the price of renting population."
Jiang Zhengqing had no choice. He chose to continue the trade and there would be profits to be made.
Once he refused, not only would there be no profit, but he would also offend Wang Jin.
Jiang Zhengqing did not choose to act on impulse. He was not a passionate young man. His rich life experience allowed him to make the right choice, even if he was very unwilling to make this choice.
"Dad!" Jiang Shishi got anxious when she heard this, and stood up and was about to speak.
In her mind, how could she agree to such a thing, but the final decision was no longer in her hands.
"Don't say it, this is the best choice. Brother Wang and I have such a deep friendship, I think Brother Wang will not lower the price too much."
Jiang Zhengqing stopped Jiang Shishi from speaking with a stern look, and at the same time played the emotional card with Wang Jin.
Wang Jin raised the corner of his mouth, looked at Jiang Zhengqing and patted his chest and said: "Brother Jiang, don't worry, we have known each other for so long, how can I cheat you? This price will definitely satisfy you, and you will definitely not suffer a loss."
Jiang Zhengqing's mouth twitched, this is called absolutely not cheating?
It has been a big cheat since the price reduction. You have the handle on us, and you have the final say on the price.
Jiang Zhengqing doesn't believe that the treacherous Wang Jin will really give in on the price.
If Wang Jin is really such a person, he won't tell them about the price reduction.
"It's settled. You guys talk to Jia Ding about this matter. I'll arrange a meeting for you. Once the new price is negotiated, our business can continue."
Wang Jin reached out and shook hands with Jiang Zhengqing, with a kind smile on his face, but in Jiang Shishi's eyes it was a sly smile.
After Jiang Zhengqing shook hands with Wang Jin, he frowned slightly and said anxiously: "Can't we open the trade channel first? There are many conflicts among the survivors of our base. If time goes on, it will easily intensify the conflicts. At that time, suppression will cause innocent casualties, thereby reducing your population lease, which is not good for both of us."
"Sorry, it's not that I don't want to open the trade channel, but the Lingnan base we occupy now has not settled down. During this period, our work focus is on the Lingnan base. The Lishan base needs to remain stable, so it can only be postponed. This time will not be too long, please rest assured, brother Jiang."
Wang Jin spread his palms and looked at Jiang Zhengqing's gloomy face. Suddenly, an idea popped up in his mind. He smiled and said: "It's not that there is no other way. If you really want to trade quickly, I can set up a trade market a few kilometers outside the city. If the survivors of both sides want to trade, they can trade there. What do you think, brother Jiang?"
Wang Jin was secretly proud. Now that the army is outside and the Lishan base is empty, Wang Jin can't let other base personnel enter his hometown. It's better to be safe than sorry.
But if we set up a market outside the city, we don't have to worry about this problem. If we can't enter the city, it doesn't matter if others have bad intentions.
Although there are not many troops left behind in the Lishan base, not everyone can take it down by relying on the city wall. As long as they are not attacked from within, it will be fine.
"That's great!"
Jiang Zhengqing was overjoyed. He didn't have any other thoughts and understood Wang Jin's concerns. He planned to return empty-handed, but when he heard this at the last minute, there was no reason to refuse.
"Brother Jiang, you are so anxious. You must want to open the trade channel as soon as possible. Let's do this. You rest here for one night. Tomorrow morning, I will go to Lingnan Base with you. After negotiating the price with Jia Ding, I will set up the market and open the trade channel."
Wang Jin did not hesitate and immediately said to Du Yuyan and Zhang Zhouming: "Did you hear me just now? Choose a suitable terrain as soon as possible to build a trade market."
Wang Jin said straightforwardly. Wang Jin himself also wanted to open a trade channel. After all, the more transactions between the two sides, the more taxes Wang Jin would get!
"Understood!" Du Yuyan and Zhang Zhouming nodded in unison, indicating that they would complete this task as soon as possible.
Most of the terrain around Lishan Base is flat, and most of the mutant zombies have been cleared. It is not difficult to find a suitable terrain.
With the cooperation of hundreds of thousands of survivors and tens of thousands of captured soldiers in Lishan Base, it is still very fast to build a trade market.
Afterwards, Wang Jin discussed the details with Jiang Zhengqing. As the sky gradually darkened, he asked the soldiers to take Jiang Zhengqing and his daughter to open several guest rooms in the government building for Jiang Zhengqing and his daughter and several mutant guards to stay.
The government building was converted from a luxury hotel, and the rooms inside remained the same, still luxurious and comfortable.
At first glance, it feels like returning to a modern city, if not in the cruel apocalypse.
Living in a luxurious room at this time, Jiang Zhengqing's face did not show any joy.
Jiang Shishi next to him was even more gloomy, looking at her father sullenly and said, "Father, why should you agree to that bastard's unreasonable request? At most, we won't do business. Didn't we live well before we had no dealings with the Lishan Base?"
Jiang Zhengqing smiled bitterly and explained, "It's different now. Our survivors have become accustomed to the prosperity of the Lishan Base. If we forcibly interrupt trade and lack a source of food, those survivors will definitely make trouble.
Although we are not afraid, this will cause great chaos in our base. If the Lishan Base takes advantage of this and responds to the call of the survivors, we will be in danger under the attack of the Lishan Base and the survivors."
Jiang Zhengqing looked at the luxurious hotel, the large and comfortable bed, the red wine in the wine cabinet, the soft carpet, and the bright crystal chandelier above his head. Everything made him sigh.
No wonder the survivors of their base would make a fuss. Even he himself, when he came to Lishan Base, compared his underground base with that of his own, felt a kind of contrast between the countryside and the city.
If he was not the leader, he would also choose to stay in Lishan Base, after all, the conditions of the two bases were too different.
Wang Jin's original trade move attracted survivors to come and trade, so that the survivors of the underground base could benefit and gradually become inseparable from Lishan Base. This strategy has achieved significant results.
"No way, Wang Jin dares! Those survivors dare to disobey us, but we have an army. Is Lishan Base so good?"
Jiang Shishi couldn't believe it, opened her mouth in astonishment, and questioned her father's guess.
"You have seen what Wang Jin is like. He is absolutely a hero. It is normal for him to attack our base. Our friendship is nothing in the face of huge interests."
Jiang Zhengqing said, pretending to be relaxed and looking at Jiang Shishi teasingly: "And those survivors don't say, just talk about yourself, how long have you stayed in Lishan Base during this period? It's longer than the time you stayed in the underground base. Do I need to tell you the reason?"
