The four hundred and fiftieth chapter is too anxious to fry(1/2)
The bitter cold wind unscrupulously swept across the empty north alley, adding a more sad atmosphere.
Not only that, since the Ministry of Revenue came, almost all shops in Beixiang closed down, including the Taobao market, and those stores just sent people to say hello to Han Yi, and no one went to communicate with Han Yi.
It makes people feel sad when the rabbit dies.
On the other hand, the two markets are still lively, because the end of the year is approaching and everyone has money. Every year, business is very prosperous, and there are also big discounts in the two markets. It is conceivable that many people from the suburbs are coming to join in the fun.
But this is not good news for businessmen in the two cities. The days when they made money have now become a loss.
They hope to end as soon as possible.
A meeting about this battle was held in the Gu family in the West City.
The important businessmen in both cities attended the meeting. Almost everyone was like a proud rooster, with the joy of victory on their faces. Only Qian Dafang, who was going to North Lane, seemed extremely embarrassed.
Qian Dafang took the lead in speaking: "Everyone, we have decided to close the shops in North Lane."
When he spoke, his face turned red and red, which was so embarrassing.
In addition, those businessmen were smiling strangely.
Gu Yanshang smiled and said, "You should have done this long ago. I really don't know what to do in the size of a palm in the North Lane."
Since you don’t take it seriously, why do you still kill others? Zhao Sijia muttered in his heart, but said insincerely: “Yes, what Mr. Gu said is, wasn’t we fooled by Han Yi in front of us?”
Anyway, it's like taking a stool.
"Okay, okay, let them go over the past, just come back. Just come back."
Gu Yanshang nodded with a smile and said loudly: "Han Yi is just a farmhouse from Yangzhou. He has no strength and is good at doing some tricks and using sweet words to deceive others. He cannot be on the table. Didn't he invent a word called fooling? I think he is talking about himself."
The crowd burst into laughter.
After everyone laughed, Gu Yanshang continued, "But I have to say that Han Yi is really good at talking. Many people have been fooled by him. In order to avoid the same thing happening in the future, I suggest that merchants from our two cities sign an agreement that is not allowed to go to North Lane to do business again. What do you think?"
Qian Dafang immediately said: "Of course, I agree very much, and everyone must sign it."
They all agreed, and the rest of the businessmen didn't want to say anything, and unanimously agreed with Gu Yanshang's proposal.
Gu Yanshang nodded and said, "Okay, you go and tell the news about the others in each field. We will sign this agreement in a day or two. Qian Da said it well. Everyone must sign it."
They are just a small number of people, and there are thousands of merchants in the two cities. This is not considered foreign merchants. It is not possible to sign an agreement in a short time, but they almost all have the final say. If they decide, then they will decide.
Wei Qing suddenly said, "Wait a minute. This - I have to say that we have put out a lot of money to deal with Beixiang. Just for this matter, we have not made any money this year. But this is all because of the big money they have. Of course, I don't blame them. They are just deceived by Han Yi, but they just think that they should share some of the losses."
Qian Dafang was a rooster. When he heard this, he was furious and said, "Wei Qing, what do you mean? Our shop has also lowered the price with you."
Wei Qing smiled and said, "But this matter was caused by you. If you agreed earlier, why should we do this? If you didn't let you make up for it all, you would be worthy of you. Don't be ungrateful."
Jia Fugui sneered: "You're so light. We had lost half a year's rent in Beixiang. If you were willing to make up for it, we would have come long ago. You are so embarrassed. You want us to help you spread the losses equally. This is impossible."
A man next to Wei Qing stood up and shouted, "Fugui, don't cry here and do poorly. The business in Beixiang was so good a few days ago. Almost all the people in the city went to your place, and no one competed with you. I think your capital has been back a long time ago and made a lot of money. But we have been losing money all the time. You can help spread it a little bit, what's wrong? Our losses are the biggest."
Dou Yi was also angry when he heard this and said, "Doing business is based on your ability. You can't blame others for your profits and losses. It's unreasonable to ask us to help you spread the losses equally."
Another person said, "Old Dou's words are wrong. This time it is not a fight between individual merchants, but a battle between our two cities and Beixiang. Honor and disgrace should belong to the entire two cities, and profits and losses should naturally belong to the two cities. If you lose and we make a profit, we will also help you."
Qian Dafang sneered and thought, who are you fooling around with this nonsense?
This is the outfit of the porcelain, Zhou Fei stroked his beard and said, "But I think there are some inappropriate things in Wei Qing's words. The loss is not clear. I have a way, I don't know if it is feasible?"
Gu Yanshang said: "Mr. Zhou, please tell me."
Qian Dafang and others began to cheer up. They never expected that this would happen today. They felt that at most they were ridiculed by others, and they were caught off guard by others.
Zhou Fei said, "I think this is the case. Mr. Dou, the money is big. After the price recovers, you will raise the price slightly to slow down the price. Don't make it difficult for us to pass the year end."
Qian Dafang almost threw the teacup next to him and said, "How can this work? If my family raises the price, my customers will run away. How can I do business in the future? Then I might as well give you money."
Zhao Sijia and others also said that this idea was too scammed, and old customers would be exposed and their reputation would be ruined.
Wei Qing said: "Then you give the money!"
Qian Dafang said angrily: "Why should I give you money? Don't even think about this."
Gu Yanshang suddenly suppressed his hands and said, "What are you doing, do you still take me seriously?"
The crowd glanced at Gu Yanshang, then snorted again, then turned his head and stopped talking.
Gu Yanshang glanced around and looked a little satisfied, and said, "After all the famous merchants in Chang'an are just some small money. Is it true? Wei Qing and the others said something, but if you want Qianda and others to pay for the money to spread the losses equally, it would be a bit over. Qianda and they also paid half a year of rent back to our two cities. As long as the North Lane is closed, the money will come back sooner or later. What are you anxious about?"
As he said that, he said to Qian Dafang and others, "Old Dou, Qian Da, Zhao Laosi, let's do this, everyone feels a little more or less happy when they make a big deal. You guys will give it a little money to the guild and invite everyone to have a meal."
When Wei Qing and the others heard this, they were not good enough. They were about to speak, but Gu Yanshang stopped him with his eyes.
Qian Dafang and others looked at each other, and they all knew that Gu Yanshang did this just to give them a step forward. He also gave Wei Qing some face and eased the conflict between everyone.
"This is what it should be. I have no problem."
Zhao Sijia thought to himself that he had lost all his face anyway, and he still cared about the face of this meal.
Dou Yi and others also nodded in agreement.
Although Qian Dafang was unwilling to do so, the key was that he couldn't get over the face. It was obvious that Dou Yi and the others agreed, so they had to nod.
Gu Yanshang smiled and said, "That's it."
After the meeting, Qian Dafang didn't even slap his butt, and stood up and left. Zhao Sijia and others also felt that today was too embarrassing and left with their heads down.
After they left, Wei Qing and others surrounded Gu Yanshang.
"Old Master Gu. This is what we agreed on. How can you be so cheap for them? We have suffered a lot this time."
"What do I want to eat their meal? I'm not so poor that I can't afford a meal."
"This can't be so cheap for them."
Anyway, he was talking nonsense and was deeply dissatisfied with Gu Yanshang's behavior.
It turned out that they had already agreed on this matter, and it was because of the money and the others, so they should pay for it.
Gu Yanshang suppressed his hands and smiled bitterly: "Everyone, please be careful, don't be anxious, let me explain."
Wei Qing and others immediately looked at him.
Gu Yanshang said: "I thought about it all night last night and felt that it was not the time to say this. Now Beixiang has not been completely closed. If they are forced to force them to jump over the wall and go to Beixiang, then we will be in vain and we will be in vain and lose money! You have seen it just now, with the attitude of money, continuing to talk will only make things irreversible. This is bad, I have to say that."
Speaking of this, he paused and said, "But please rest assured. After North Lane is completely closed, I will find a way to help you get the loss back."
He also had an abacus in his mind. If Qian Dafang and the others were allowed to come back like this, the matter would be solved and nothing would happen to him. This is the last thing he would want to see. Therefore, when Wei Qing proposed to let Qian Dafang and the others spread the losses equally, he agreed immediately.
But he was not just greedy for the little money, but hoped that there would be a follow-up. If Qian Dafang and others were forced to force him to force him to lose his appeal, he would definitely hold a grudge against him. Even if Qian Dafang and others forced him to agree, Qian Dafang and others would definitely hold a grudge against him, and the matter would be over, which would not work. Qian Dafang and their strength should not be underestimated. He still wanted to give Qian Dafang and others some benefits to them to support him. But at the same time, he had to provoke a fight between Wei Qing and Qian Dafang, so that both sides would ask for him, so his status would naturally be unshakable.
When Wei Qing and others heard this, they seemed to be the same, but they didn't take anything in the end, and they made them look sexy, and said, "Mr. Gu, this is what you said, you can't speak without trust."
Gu Yanshang smiled and said, "Of course, as the head office, I naturally have to think about everyone."
Qian Dafang and others left the Gu family and went to Dou Yi's house. This happened too suddenly, and they had to make a good decision.
"I didn't expect that Wei Qing, the villain, actually asked us to help them spread the losses equally. It's so hateful. Wei Qing is nothing! When I was doing business, he didn't know where he was."
Qian Dafang felt so frustrated that you asked him to pay the money. It would be even more uncomfortable than killing him. As soon as he sat down, he couldn't help but curse.
Zhao Sijia also felt depressed and said, "I really didn't expect them to do this. It's so despicable."
Dou Yi said: "Okay, okay. Chief Secretary Gu will not let them do anything. No matter what, we have to invite this meal, otherwise our life in the two cities will be difficult in the future."
Peng Wanjin said: "Old Dou, you are thinking too well. I think this matter is really not something that can be solved with just one meal. Haven't you seen their faces? You see us as enemies. No matter what, we may not have a good life in the future."
"Wan Jin said this is correct."
Qian Dafang nodded straight and said, "If I had known this, I would have stayed in North Lane."
Jia Fugui smiled and said, "Will you bear to give up your shop in Xishi? North Lane is still too small, and West Lane is well-known after all. Western Regions merchants all come to West Lane to buy goods. It is not worth giving up two cities for one Beishi!"
Zhao Sijia also said: "Even if you are willing to go back, how can you tell Brother Han? But when we close the store, we just send someone to tell him. After all, when we were in Beixiang, Brother Han still tried his best to make money for us, and he couldn't blame him for this matter. Now he will definitely be very angry."
Peng Wanjin said: "We must unite now. Otherwise, if we are swallowed by them, we will not know what will happen."
Several people nodded one after another.
As Qian Dafang and others closed the shop in Beixiang, the battle was over, and the two markets immediately raised the goods price the next day. If they continued to sell this price, they really couldn't stand it.
Of course, many people feel sorry for Beixiang.
Feng Feilou.
Liu E sighed: "This is really a wall that everyone pushes you. Look at Qian Dafang and those who run faster than rabbits."
Han Yi smiled slightly and said, "It's no wonder they are the biggest victims. If we do this, can they not leave?"
Liu E nodded and said, "I know this too. I just lament the coldness of this world!"
Han Yi smiled and said, "Sister Liu, you must not think so. According to an unwritten statistics, once a person starts to feel emotions, it proves that this person is already in his old age."
Liu E immediately rolled her eyes when she heard this.
Han Yi thought to Sang Mu again and said, "Sang Mu, how are you already prepared for the money I asked you to get?"
Sang Mu said: "We are all ready. In fact, doing this between the two cities will have no impact on our trading for the time being."
Han Yi nodded.
"Brother Xiaoyi, Brother Xiaoyi, it's rising, it's rising. This morning, the goods prices in both markets rose."
