Siheyuan: Starting from 1952

That's fifty thousand dollars, not four dollars.

What on earth could you do to spend 40,000 yuan in a year?

Shopkeeper Cui couldn't understand.

of course.

This is other people's own business.

I have no right to interfere.

What he is thinking about now is how to maximize the benefits from Lu Juemin.

After all, there are so many ginsengs.

Although its quality is not as good as that of Ginseng King, its overall value is almost the same.

Now it is about to be a public-private partnership.

This relatively free trade will no longer be possible.

So Manager Cui also had a selfish motive, he wanted to lower the price for Lu Juemin.

This way you can earn a little more.

After thinking for a long time, Shopkeeper Cui said, "Xiao Lu, the quality of your ginseng is very good. How about I give you 30,000 yuan in total and buy all your ginseng?"

"Thirty thousand?"

Lu Juemin narrowed his eyes and took the ginseng back immediately. "Manager Cui, I came to sell ginseng to you because I consider you a friend, but you want to cheat me. It seems that our business cannot be done!"

As he said that, he was about to leave.

"Xiao Lu, wait a moment!" Shopkeeper Cui hurriedly stopped Lu Juemin, "Xiao Lu, I don't want to cheat you. I gave this price for a reason."

"You also know that public-private partnership is coming soon. Once the policy is fully implemented, all these things will belong to the state, and their value will not be that high!"

"So this price is really the limit of our store."

"Really?" Lu Juemin raised the corner of his mouth. "Manager Cui, although what you said sounds a little reasonable, I don't want to believe it!"

"How about this, I'll go to other pharmacies and ask them how much money they can give me, and verify whether what you said, Boss Cui, is true!"

"Is this the highest price I can offer? If it is really as Shopkeeper Cui said, these ginsengs are only worth 30,000 yuan, then I will come back and sell these ginsengs to you, Shopkeeper Cui!"

After saying this, Lu Juemin turned and left the pharmacy.

Shopkeeper Cui looked at Lu Juemin who was walking further and further away, and couldn't help but feel a headache, "When did Lu Juemin become so cunning... I really can't get any benefit from him at all!"

"Such a good ginseng..."

After muttering for a long time, Manager Cui finally caught up with him and stopped Lu Juemin. "Xiao Lu, how about this, I'll give you thirty-five thousand?"

"Thirty-five thousand..."

Lu Juemin touched his chin.

This number is lower than I expected.

But that's about it.

After all, due to policy influence, it is not easy to sell at a higher price.

So he nodded and agreed, "Since Shopkeeper Cui is so sincere, let's give him 35,000 yuan. We can still be friends!"

"We are still friends!"

"..."

With these 35,000 yuan, Lu Juemin originally wanted to stock up on grain or something.

I only found out when I got to the grain market.

The grain supply is much higher now than it was last year.

I think it is due to the influence of policies.

Some unscrupulous merchants saw the opportunity and started hoarding grain when the policy was just launched.

This has caused the current chaos in the grain market.

Isn’t this just speculation?

A new idea suddenly popped up in Lu Juemin's mind.

That is to rob the rich and help the poor.

Steal all the grain from these grain dealers.

Then he will bestow grace on all the people.

The country already has a large food gap, but these people are engaged in the business of eating human blood.

It's really abominable beyond measure.

But then I thought about it.

I am a policeman now.

It is really inappropriate for the police to do such things.

Since you are a policeman.

Then use police methods to deal with these damn grain dealers.

then.

He immediately returned to the police station and found Zheng Chaoyang.

"Xiao Zheng, I want to ask you for a favor, can you?"

"Teacher Lu, you are too polite. If you need my help, I will do my best to help you!"

"Okay." Lu Juemin said, "I recently discovered a few grain speculators who are disrupting the market. Can you help me deal with them?"

"Ah? Catching speculators?" Zheng Chaoyang scratched his head. "Teacher Lu, this is not what I am responsible for. Catching speculators involves other people. If I get involved in this, will it be bad?"

"What's wrong with that? Isn't it natural for the police to arrest criminals?"

"This……"

Zheng Chaoyang was still in a dilemma. "How about... I go and ask Director Luo for help? Let's see what Director Luo says?"

"Alright."

Lu Juemin didn't want to make things difficult for Zheng Chaoyang, so he asked him to apply to Director Luo.

While Zheng Chaoyang was applying, he went to collect evidence against those grain dealers.

Lu Juemin had contact with many grain dealers when buying grain last year.

So he could easily obtain evidence of these grain dealers' speculation.

And just when Lu Juemin was collecting evidence against these grain dealers.

He also had some unexpected gains.

He discovered that Hou Deqiang was also involved.

They are raising food prices and engaging in speculation.

That's perfect.

I was originally thinking about dealing with this guy.

Now he has run into the gun!

"Hou Deqiang, don't worry, you won't be able to enjoy yourself for many days..."

"..."

……

December 9th.

It was the day of Lu Juemin and Li Yanxi’s wedding.

this day.

The courtyard was extremely lively.

The yard is decorated with lights and colorful decorations.

Red couplets with the word "happy".

There are three courtyards filled with tables.

"Oh my god, is Lu Juemin crazy? How much money will it cost to organize such a big event?"

"It doesn't matter how much money we spend. What matters is that Lu Juemin didn't invite us to his wedding. What's going on?"

"That's right. After all, we are neighbors with Lu Juemin. How can he not invite us to his wedding? Is that right?"

"..."

Yes.

Although Lu Juemin’s wedding banquet was held in the courtyard.

But he did not invite any of the residents of the courtyard.

It’s not that I didn’t invite you.

Rather, he sets the specifications.

That is, if you want to attend your wedding banquet, you must give enough gift money.

If you don’t pay a gift money, forget about attending your own wedding banquet.

And this gift money is also shockingly high. (For ordinary people)

It costs five dollars per person.

Five dollars is the living expenses for an ordinary family for several days.

So when the people in the courtyard heard that they had to pay so much gift money to attend the wedding banquet, most of them were unwilling to do so.

but.

Now I see that Lu Juemin’s wedding banquet is such a grand affair.

The dishes are extremely sumptuous.

There were even some dishes that these people had never seen in their lives.

Those who did not participate began to regret it.

It seems so.

A five-dollar gift isn't a lot...
