Chapter 993: I'm not a philanthropist, and your conscience isn't worth much

Qiao Xing had already drunk four cups of tea. He had stayed in the reception room for at least two hours and couldn't stay any longer. After going to the toilet twice, he went to the front courtyard to take a look—after asking Gu Bo Yuan, he knew it was useless to ask again, because Gu Bo Yuan had been staying here and couldn't contact Li Long either.

He waited until the sun was not high and was about to set before he heard the sound of the jeep. Qiao Xing jumped up all at once, and the enamel cup in front of him, along with the tea inside, was knocked over by his clothes.

Qiao Xing didn't care to take care of it, hurriedly wiped the tea on his pants, and ran out quickly.

Li Long first arrived at the big courtyard, preparing to rest before starting to clean up the chicken and fish that Meng Hai had put on the car, but before he got off the car, Sister Yang told him about Qiao Xing looking for him.

Li Long had no choice but to put down the chicken, eggs, and fish and hand them to Sister Yang, and he drove the jeep to the acquisition station himself.

After the car drove to the backyard, Li Long saw Qiao Xing chasing over from the front courtyard. He asked with some doubt:

"Why were you over there?"

It turned out that when Qiao Xing heard the sound of the jeep, he ran from the room to the front courtyard, but Li Long had already run to the backyard, and he ran to the backyard amidst the roar of laughter from everyone.

"Huh? What's wrong with your pants? It's not pee, right?" Li Long's drunkenness hadn't completely faded, and he started to joke.

"No, no," Qiao Xing explained with a red face, "Tea, it's tea. Boss Li, you're finally back. Let's settle it now, how about it?"

Knowing Li Long's determination, Qiao Xing no longer tried to bargain, just hoping to settle this business as soon as possible.

"It's so late, and these fifty-plus tons of watermelon seeds," Li Long said, "Tomorrow? Let's start tomorrow morning, and it will take until the afternoon to finish hauling, right?"

"No need, no need, just today. Boss Li, I believe in you. It's not that troublesome. No need to pour them all out; just check each bag like I did yesterday," Qiao Xing said, "How about it? After checking, I'll hire a motorcade to haul them away overnight..."

Li Long didn't know why Qiao Xing was so anxious, but it didn't matter. Even if Dong Zhi Chao and Bai Xiu Ming came over to buy these watermelon seeds at the original price when he was settling, he wouldn't change his words.

People always have to keep their word. Those people didn't come when they should have, and when he went to find them, they didn't respond in time, so don't blame himself.

"Fine, then come on," Li Long pointed to the warehouse and said, "Do you want to hire a car first?"

"No need, no need, I've already inquired." Qiao Xing said with a smile, "Confirm here, make a phone call, and they will send a car over there."

Hey, people have already started taking orders by phone; it's really different.

Li Long smiled and asked: "Then the payment..."

"The money is in the reception room." Qiao Xing brought the money over.

"You ran out like this, and you weren't afraid that something would happen to the money?" Li Long was startled, "So bold?"

"It's on your territory, so I have this bit of confidence." Qiao Xing went to the reception room with a smile and took out the money bag.

Password lock, no wonder.

Li Long let Qiao Xing take the money bag to the front desk, call people over to help transport and load the goods, and also about the car.

"Boss Li, I bought so many goods, these sacks will be given to me, right?" Qiao Xing didn't intend to open each bag to screen and check today, just simple checking and then loading, so he couldn't find so much trouble for a while, so he said so.

"Of course no problem." Li Long smiled and said, "You bought so many goods, of course it's no problem to give you the sacks."

The acquisition station bought a large number of sacks every month, and these could naturally be counted as loss.

Ten minutes later, more than ten people swarmed into the backyard of the acquisition station and started to move the sacks and weigh them under Qiao Xing's command.

As for the tare of the sacks, it was even simpler. Weigh the weight of one sack, and then go to the total at the end.

Just as these people started to weigh the sacks, and Li Long and Qiao Xing were counting, registering, and checking together, the cars also started to drive in.

They were all old drivers, very clear about the process. Two cars drove in at a time, and after they were loaded and tied, they drove out and then two empty cars drove in.

The movement wasn't small.

Although there were many people and many cars, fifty tons of watermelon seeds weren't so easily loaded. It wasn't until after twelve o'clock, with the backyard brightly lit, that these sacks were considered loaded.

The dinner in the middle was sent over by Sister Yang, a big bucket of soup rice. Both the drivers and the people carrying the bags had some. Everyone ate hot, chatted and laughed, and felt much more relaxed, not so tired.

Then it was settling the bill.

"Fifty thousand eight hundred and ninety kilograms, this is the net weight after tare." Qiao Xing was exhausted, but also with a hint of excitement, "Three yuan per kilogram, totaling one hundred and fifty-two thousand six hundred and seventy yuan. You calculate it again."

"Correct." Li Long had also calculated it here, and after comparing the money count, it was the same, "You sign it, I want to enter the account."

After Qiao Xing finished signing, he started to pay Li Long, saying while counting the money: "I managed to raise this money with great difficulty. I brought a total of 170,000, and the rest is to pay for these freight costs, labor costs, and the railway freight costs when the time comes."

Li Long thought to himself that the railway freight costs might not be enough for the rest, right? However, thinking about it, Qiao Xing should have other ways.

After the money was paid, Li Long took the backpack from the jeep, emptied it, and put the money in. The bank wasn't open tonight, so tomorrow.

Qiao Xing was already very tired, but he knew this matter couldn't stop yet. He still had to hurry to haul these watermelon seeds to Urumqi.

"Leaving overnight? Is it okay?" Li Long was a bit worried, "You look like this, you need to rest, right?"

"It's okay, I'll sleep in the car when I'm with the car. When the car arrives at Urumqi Railway Station, I can rest then."

Qiao Xing was a procurement manager, and he had a share in the things he hauled back this time, so he was very excited and very nervous.

Li Long didn't persuade him anymore and let Qiao Xing drive away with multiple cars.

Gu Bo Yuan and Sun Jia Qiang were busy following, Li Long took out two hundred and handed it to Sun Jia Qiang:

"Little Sun, you were tired enough when collecting watermelon seeds. This is a bonus."

Sun Jia Qiang hurriedly thanked him and accepted it. He knew Li Long and Gu Bo Yuan still had words to say, so he went back.

"Uncle Gu, you take this ten thousand. This time for the watermelon seeds, we earned over sixty thousand. You took less in the previous few times, so take more this time." Li Long said.

"Fine." Gu Bo Yuan didn't decline either.

"These thirty thousand are the acquisition station's working capital, you take it too. Enter it into the account later." Li Long took out another thirty thousand and handed it to Gu Bo Yuan.

Gu Bo Yuan had always been responsible for receiving and registering the working capital in the account. Li Long still trusted his father-in-law on this point.

After the matter was finished, Li Long drove the jeep back to the big courtyard, and Sister Yang came to open the door.

The lights were on in the master bedroom and Sister Yang's room. After Li Long got off the car, he said to Sister Yang with some apology:

"Sister Yang, sorry, it affected you and Let Xiao Fang's rest."

"What effect? Look at how polite you are. You must be tired, right? Her aunt is still waiting, go rest quickly."

Sister Yang said, fastened the door, and hurriedly went back to the room.

Li Long carried the backpack into the room. Gu Xiaoxia was at the door, looking back from time to time. Mingming and Haohao weren't very honest when sleeping now, and she was afraid they would fall.

"Back?" Seeing Li Long enter the room, Gu Xiaoxia came over with a smile to take the backpack, "Hurry up and wash and sleep."

Li Long patted her lightly, let her go into the inner room, and he went to wash.

The water in the pressure well was very cold. Li Long wasn't very afraid, washed his body, and felt that he was indeed a bit tired. Li Long entered the room, didn't say much, turned off the lights, and slept.

The next day, Li Long went to the bank to deposit the money. This was considered a big worry gone. The warehouse was cleared, and he could rest assured to collect other goods.

Two days later, as Li Long expected, Dong Zhi Chao called.

"Hello, Boss Li, I'm Dong Zhi Chao."

The phone was called by Gu Bo Yuan to the big courtyard for Li Long to answer. Dong Zhi Chao only knew the phone number of Li Long's acquisition station. Li Long went to the acquisition station and waited for three minutes before Dong Zhi Chao called.

"Hello, Manager Dong." Li Long said very politely.

"It's like this, didn't you ask me about the raw material situation of watermelon seeds last time?"

"Right, at that time you said you didn't lack raw materials anymore."

"Yes, at that time there were too many people sending raw materials to our factory, so we really didn't lack them." ===== CHAPTER 994 =====
