Chapter 216: Conquering the Enemy
It was for this reason that when Xu Mengyuan asked the waiter to give the gifts he brought to Hugetu, the waiter had no idea what Xu Mengyuan was talking about.

Because they didn't prepare any so-called gifts at all.

However, this guy had been following Xu Mengyuan for quite some time. When his boss glared at him, he immediately understood what was going on and returned to the caravan to prepare gifts.

Hugetu was overjoyed when he heard this, and said shyly, "We are all brothers, why would you bring any gifts if you are here?"

Although he said this, he did not express any opinion.

When the servant drove a carriage filled with all kinds of necessary supplies, such as salt, iron, tea, etc., Hugetu smiled happily and patted his chest, saying that he would help with all his strength.

Not long after, Xu Mengyuan's caravan entered Hu Ge's base and set up preparations for trading.

Because of Hugetu's endorsement and encouragement, many tribal names also gathered around, and for a time his popularity tended to surpass Wang An.

Wang An was lying on an oxcart, basking in the spring sun, preparing to take a nap comfortably, when suddenly the light came up to him and he said anxiously, "Boss, this is bad, our enemies are here!"

Wang An stood up, glanced in the direction of Xu Mengyuan, and muttered to himself, "What day is it today? It's really lively on the grassland."

Then he asked Zhao Dekui, "Does the other party also accept oil and fat exchange?"

Zhao Dekui was stunned when he heard this, but still shook his head firmly.

Wang An asked again: "Does the other party also use the accounting method?"

Zhao Dekui recovered now and understood what Wang An meant. He nodded and said with a smile, "Dong Jiang, do you mean to ignore it?"

Wang An nodded and said with a smile: "No one in this world is a fool. When we go and ask the herdsmen, they will naturally come back."

"Then I understand. Just ignore it." Zhao Dekui nodded and smiled, then walked away.

Immediately, many guys and veterans surrounded Zhao Dekui and suggested that they beat up Xu Mengyuan who dared to steal their business.

However, after Zhao Dekui explained Wang An's intention, the veterans had to suppress their anger even though they were angry.

So, except for those herdsmen who believed Wang An and had already boiled the oil, almost everyone went to Xu Mengyuan.

However, as Wang An said, there is no fool in this world.

The trading rules of Wang An and Xu Mengyuan were clearly laid out, even though the herdsmen on the grassland were basically illiterate and even their arithmetic was limited to using only ten fingers.

But the basic understanding of the rules quickly allowed them to understand which side was more cost-effective.

So even with Hugetu's endorsement and Xu Mengyuan's guys' enthusiastic promotion, there was still no transaction after such a lively time.

On Wang An's side, the herdsmen who believed in Wang An at the beginning have also returned one after another carrying oil and fat.

His original uneasy mood was all put at ease after Zhao Dekui signed the bill, and he happily followed the clerk to the fleet to select the goods.

However, at this time, Wang An suddenly stood up from the ox cart and shouted loudly: "My herdsman friend, due to limited time, we will only stay for two hours. If you need to trade, please hurry up, otherwise we will not be able to wait for you after the deadline."

The herders, who were originally skeptical, became anxious upon hearing this.

At first, they suspected that Wang An was playing tricks. After all, Naruto was more cunning than the herdsmen. They were worried that they had been fooled, so they wanted to wait for others to explore the way. Now that they saw that the first trader had exchanged the materials smoothly, they were already tempted.

At this moment, Wang An was urging them, so they could no longer hold back and immediately dispersed and returned to their own yurt to start preparing to boil oil.

Two hours is neither too long nor too short, and if everyone hurry up, it will be in time.

However, Wang An's shout made Xu Mengyuan very angry.

It was hard to gather some popularity. Although they were all poor guys who just looked but didn't buy, at least they could suppress the young people on the opposite side with their momentum.

Now, with just one shout, they all drive me away. Where can I save my old face?
However, people who do business believe in making money through harmony. But the so-called harmony is not just the kind of harmony that comes from a smiling tiger.

This is how business is done. It's not like a real fight on the battlefield. People are all smiling on the surface but are actually fighting behind the scenes.

Therefore, he just endured it and didn't cause any trouble.

"Boss, what should we do now?" The stupid waiter came up to Xu Mengyuan again and asked in panic.

Xu Mengyuan stared at Wang An for a while with gnashing teeth, and then said bitterly: "He took the salt and iron that he smuggled in with great difficulty to exchange for worthless oils and fats. I want to see how much he can exchange for!"

After that, he said to himself, "No, I can't watch him be so proud and raise the price for no reason!"

"Let's go and stop other caravans passing by!"

The waiter didn't understand Xu Mengyuan's intention, but he was afraid of angering the shopkeeper, so he didn't dare to say anything.

"Boss, it's just as you said. The caravan just left!" Zhao Dekui came to Wang An and said excitedly, "I have been traveling all over the country for so many years. Merchants on this road are the most difficult to deal with, even border traders. I didn't expect that you would drive them away without saying a word."

"I am really ashamed of myself. Today I finally understand what it means to be pushed forward by the waves behind!"

Wang An waved his hand and said modestly: "Manager Zhao, there is no need to be so modest. Everyone has different strengths. The experience of leading people to travel all over the country is enough for me to learn for several years."

"Not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning!" Zhao Dekui said modestly.

However, Wang An changed the subject and said, "But I don't think this group of people will just let it go. After all, cutting off someone's financial resources is like killing their parents. Moreover, these smugglers always kill without blinking an eye."

Zhao Dekui also looked serious and said, "The boss is right. I will have the guys be on guard right now!"

Wang An didn't say anything and continued to wait for two hours. The herdsmen in the tribe came one after another carrying oil and fat to exchange for goods.

We had originally agreed to leave in two hours, but the herdsmen were too enthusiastic and we were delayed until evening.

By this time, the guys were hungry and tired after being busy all day, and there was no way they could continue their journey.

So Wang An had to borrow a few yurts for his men to rest for the night.

However, a small incident occurred. In the middle of the night, Hugtutabunang came to visit in person.
