Take the elevator directly to the top floor.
When the elevator opens, a large conference hall is in sight.
There were hundreds of people inside, bustling and very lively.
"buffet" The two little guys' eyes lit up.
There is a buffet in the hall.
There are more than a hundred cold cuts, main dishes, and desserts.
There are also a variety of drinks and alcohol, which are very rich.
"Mr.
Xue" "Mr.
Li" When Li Ba, Xue Taigong and others walked out of the elevator.
In the hall, many people immediately came over to greet him warmly.
These people are all well-known merchants in Xibu City.
Those who came here were all acquaintances.
There is Zhou Dahai who runs a moving company.
There is a car dealer named Da Jinya.
There are also several business owners who are closely related to the Xue family.
At this moment, everyone gathered around.
After saying hello, several business owners took Taigong Xue to the side to chat in private.
They have business dealings with the Xue family and have always been close.
Others don't know, but Li Ba knows it very well.
Of these families, only the Xue family follows suit.
The Xue family also takes good care of them.
A few days ago, Li Ba got a lot of evolution potions from the research institute, and several of them were sold to them.
Of course, everything changed hands through the Xue family.
At this moment, Li Ba knew without thinking what they were holding Taigong Xue to discuss.
"Mr.
Li, I heard that something big is going to happen in Xibu City."
The fat on Zhou Dahai's face trembled, and he lowered his voice and said.
“There is no good feast” Da Jinya made a bitter face and said: "The management committee has always been stingy.
Today we are invited to a banquet.
This meal is not delicious."
"Now that it's here, let's make peace with it."
Li Ba smiled and asked the brothers to find a table, sit down and eat and chat.
Nowadays, Fengshou Trading Company has become famous in Xibu City.
Although the boss Li Ba rarely shows up, many people know him.
While picking up the food, many people came over to say hello.
They were merchants from all walks of life in the city, and they were close friends.
Li Ba didn't show any airs at all, he nodded and greeted everyone one by one.
Doing business requires all hands and eyes, and harmony brings wealth.
Getting to know more merchants and having more personal connections will only bring benefits to your own firm, not any harm.
A corner of the hall.
The four of them, Li Ba, Zhou Dahai and Da Jinya, were sitting around the table.
There were piles of food in front of them.
"Girl, Xiaojie, you can eat freely today, don't be polite."
Li Ba touched Ya'er's little head and said with a smile.

Although this meal was an invitation from the management committee, he knew in his heart that the merchants who received the invitation would probably bleed heavily today.
His Harvest Trading Company was no exception, perhaps bleeding more than others.
Who allowed him to have a cooperative relationship with the official?
I made a lot of money before, but now, I can't even pretend to be deaf and dumb.
"Um."
Jie'er nodded.
In front of her, there were already piles of various desserts and drinks.
Liang Jie was also polite.
He liked to eat meat and took out several plates of meat.
All of them were carefully cooked meat from mutated beasts and had a fragrant aroma.
"Lao Jin, we both need to eat more."
Zhou Dahai directly picked up two big pig's trotters, opened his bow from left to right, and started to chew on them.
The merchants who received the invitation today are more or less aware of the changes that are about to happen.
At this moment, the fat man started eating frantically with the attitude of eating one more bite and recovering more of his losses.
"Mr.
Zhou, please take it easy, don't get in bad shape, it's even more uneconomical."
Da Jinya said with a wry smile.
Seeing the miserable expressions on the faces of these two guys, Li Ba chuckled and said, "It's not as serious as you think.
Don't scare yourself."
"Mr.
Li, haven't you heard that as soon as the market opened this morning, most of the merchants in the north of the town put up notices to suspend food stamp transactions and all changed to barter."
"This incident has spread throughout the settlement, and the impact is extremely serious.
When I came here, I passed by the grain store and only glanced at it.
When I went, there was a huge crowd blocking the door of the grain store.
They all held food stamps and asked to exchange them for grain."
Zhou Dahai and Da Jinya lowered their voices.
Li Ba also heard about this.
"The official's grain storage should be quite large.
In a short period of time, the grain bank cannot be crossed."
He thought for a while and gave his own inference.
"Yes, the grain store can't be crossed in a day or two, but if it takes a long time, it can't be guaranteed."
Zhou Dahai finished his talk, looked around, and added one more sentence in a lowered voice: "According to reliable information, the settlement The local government has over-issued grain stamps by hundreds of millions of kilograms, and there is insufficient grain storage.
If there is a run, the grain bank will undoubtedly collapse."
"Nowadays, signs of a run are already showing, and most of them are Long Ye's people, as well as some small businessmen and hawkers."
Da Jinya said: "The management committee invites us to dinner at this time, and the intention is obvious.
The first is to let us go.
We merchants should stay calm, don’t follow the trend, and relieve the pressure on the grain industry.
The second is to borrow grain to calm this storm.”
Li Ba nodded in agreement after hearing this.
Not to mention, Da Jinya had the same idea as him.
The management committee's intention to entertain prominent merchants in the city at this juncture is very clear.
Of course, all the merchants who accepted the invitation had little to do with Long Sihai.
"What are you going to do?"
Li Ba changed the topic and asked these two people.
"All seven members of the Management Committee are here."

Zhou Dahai pursed his lips towards the east side of the hall.
There, there are five private rooms.
He then added with a wry smile: "We have to give some face.
Borrowing food aside, we must not follow the trend and run on others."
"Lao Zhou and I are both small businessmen, and we don't have much wealth.
Even if the authorities force us, we won't be able to produce much food."
Da Jinya looked at Li Ba and said, "Mr.
Li, you are different.
Today, Fengshou Trading Company is one of the largest trading houses in the West Bu settlement.
If you don't give some blood, the official may not agree."
"What should be paid out is not a penny.
What should not be paid out is not even half a grain of food."
Li Ba said this directly.
He had earned all his food through hard work, but he was not so upright as to use it to help the officials.
Businessmen pursue profit.
Unless the official offers favorable conditions, otherwise, as Da Jinya said, if he does not follow the trend, he will have done his best.
Chatted for a while.
Li Ba suddenly heard someone calling him.
"cousin" His back was turned.
But with this shout, he already knew who it was.
"Cousin, you are here too."
Li Ba turned around and greeted with a smile.
A middle-aged man walked over, it was his cheap cousin Luo Jianguo.
"Something big is going to happen.
I can't come if I don't come."
Luo Jianguo pulled Li Ba to the corner and whispered: "Major Liang from the Management Committee wants to see you."
Li Ba was not surprised at all when he heard this.
He seemed to have expected it.
The most powerful person in the Xibu settlement, the chairman of the management committee, and the highest commander of the military, finally couldn't help but want to see him.
"Cousin, I believe you should be aware of the situation in the city.
Have you thought about what to do?"
"I have a close working relationship with the officials and have made a lot of money before.
As long as they don't go out of their way, I will agree to some small requests."
Li Ba began to explain.
Luo Jianguo nodded, "This is best."
Li Ba understood in his heart.
The official side must have known about his relationship with Luo Jianguo, and put a lot of pressure on this cheap cousin, asking him to do his own ideological work first.
Luo Jianguo then led Li Ba towards a private room.
"Remember, no matter what the higher-ups ask for, you can agree to it if you can.
If you can't agree, you can't break up with them."
Luo Jianguo warned.
Now, he and Li Ba are in the same boat.
They both prosper and lose, so they naturally have to be careful.
"Don't worry."
Li Ba nodded.
