Whether you give others face or not, the county magistrate still has to give some face. So after hearing Yao Yifei's words, Wang Guanlan nodded, "Okay, I didn't want to talk to you originally. Since the county magistrate asked me to
If I talk to you, I will talk to you!"
Yao Yifei felt very comfortable after hearing this, and his eyes suddenly became pleasing to the eye when he looked at Wang Guanlan.
"Shopkeeper Wang, I have listened to what you just said. It's just because of the bumper harvests of Yicheng ferns in recent years, which far exceed the demand. The medicinal materials you collected can no longer be sold, and the prices have fallen.
So you want to reduce the price of medicinal herbs, control costs, and reduce stress, right or wrong?!"
"Yes!!" Shopkeeper Wang's heart trembled. He had just been talking eloquently for half a year, but the core meaning was exactly what Wang Guanlan said just now. Seeing Wang Guanlan say this in an understatement, he felt that deep in his heart.
The ominous premonition became even stronger, because Wang Guanlan's attitude was obviously prepared.
"Okay, then let's talk about the cost issue. You think the medicine can't be sold at a good price and want to lower the price. However, the cost of growing ferngrass in Ningtai remains the same every year, and with successive years of bumper harvests, we need to lower the price.
As more and more workers are recruited, the cost is still rising. The original price given to you is already very low, and our cost pressure is also great. If the price drops further, Ningtai's ferns will lose as much as they plant.
, it’s better not to plant it!”
"this--!"
"I have a suggestion regarding this!"
At this moment, someone interrupted.
"Oh, I have some suggestions, okay, let's hear them!" When Wang Guanlan saw that the person speaking was Lin Qing, unexpectedly he didn't get angry.
"We can help Ningtai share the manpower problem! There are sixty miles of ferngrass in Duanyun Valley. Planting and harvesting is indeed a big responsibility. Let Ningtai's family do it. The pressure is indeed a bit greater.
Our other trading firms are all short of manpower, why not Ningtai allocate part of its share and lease it to our trading firms, what do you think, Young Master Fourteen?!"
As soon as he said these words, the shopkeepers of all the trading houses began to breathe quickly. They rented out part of the ferns in Duanyun Canyon to various major trading companies. It was a shame he could think of it.
Don't listen to what Shopkeeper Wang said just now is so miserable, as if the major commercial banks are about to go bankrupt due to a run on them, they know the real situation well. The so-called ferngrass harvest is limited to the three southwest states. You know, these commercial banks are all
He is the representative of various forces in the three southwest states. The ultimate purpose of purchasing Phoenixweed is to supply the use of various forces. The excess will be sold by them. The money earned can maintain the operation of the business on the one hand.
On the other hand, like Yicheng's property, it must be handed over to the owner's family.
However, since the focus of all parties is on the use of ferns, the part of the income they are required to hand over is only symbolic and not much. Therefore, it can basically be said that in the end, the money earned
They are all their own. In the past few years, although the price has dropped due to the bumper harvest of ferns, the demand for this stuff has been huge. You must know that these firms are only branches and have headquarters. The largest Shunhe
The business of Xinghexinghehang spread throughout the Daqi Dynasty. The price of this phoenix outside the three southwest states was several times that of the three southwest states. Some smaller trading houses sold their remaining phoenix to
A large trading house like Shunhe Xinghe has made a lot of profit from the price difference over the years. This is still the income from purchasing medicinal herbs directly from Ningtaihang. If it can directly rent part of the medicinal fields from Ningtaihang
If you come here to plant it, you can directly produce and sell it in a one-stop service, which will not make you die. Moreover, if you succeed in this matter, you will be considered to have made a great contribution.
Therefore, the shopkeepers of this group of sub-firms became excited.
Wang Guanlan felt the change in everyone's mood, and couldn't help but feel a little funny. These people were out of their minds and thinking about good things. Looking at Lin Qing, the instigator, who had successfully aroused everyone's emotions, he no longer had the initial nervousness and seemed to
He became much more confident, his waist straightened, his face straightened, and there was even a hint of provocation in his eyes.
Moving his steps lightly, Wang Guanlan walked slowly in front of Lin Qingqing, making Lin Qingqing nervous again. He was afraid that he would be kicked by him for no reason like Weng Dingshu. His momentum could not help but stagnate, but then
, forced himself down again, cocked his neck, and stared at Wang Guanlan, as if he was looking forward to death.
"Don't be afraid, don't be nervous!" Wang Guanlan took two steps in front of him and said softly, reached out and patted his shoulder, and gestured to his head twice, as if he was comparing his height with his own.
.
In terms of age, Wang Guanlan is only a fourteen-year-old and a half-year-old child. His figure has not yet expanded. In addition, he has been studying in the early years, so he looks a little thinner. Recently, he has practiced martial arts and become stronger, but
The change is not big, but Lin Qing is already in his forties or fifties and in his prime. Logically speaking, he should be much taller than Wang Guanlan, but he has a slim and small figure. Wang Guanlan made such a gesture.
I found that this guy was almost as tall as me.
"Shopkeeper Lin, you are not young, are you?!"
Lin Qing was stunned for a moment, then said immediately, "I am 2 out of 40 this year. I wonder if the Fourteenth Young Master can give me some advice?!"
"I don't take it as advice, but I just want to ask you something based on what you just said!"
"Speaking?!"
"You are so old and so thin. I guess your health will not be very good. I guess you will not be able to cope with the beautiful girls in your house. It will be a lot of pressure, right? Otherwise, you will have to take care of your house.
Meijiaoniang is rented to everyone here for use, and also allows everyone to share the pressure with you, what do you think?!"
"Well!!!"
Lin Qing never expected that the fourteenth young master of the prince's palace, who was said to be well-read in poetry and had a reputation as a scholar, suddenly said such a sentence. He froze there at that time. The shopkeepers of the major business houses present were also stunned, thinking that
There was something wrong with his ears and he had auditory hallucinations, and soon he burst into laughter.
"Hahahahahaha!"
"Interesting and interesting, this is a solution!"
"Yes, yes, hahahahaha!"
…………………………
…………
Although everyone is in the same camp, some of the men are serious. When they heard this, they couldn't help laughing. Among them were several shopkeepers who were not on good terms with Lin Qing.
The sound was even louder, and the huge sound spread far and wide, making the servants waiting outside the business think that their master had reached an agreement with Ning Taihang!!
"you you you--!"
Lin Qing's face had turned purple, her fingers were trembling, and she pointed at Wang Guanlan. She couldn't say a word for a long time.
"Look at you, let me tell you, your health is not good, you should go home and recuperate more, and let everyone help you. Helping others is the basis of happiness, don't you think so!"
"Hahahahahaha!!"
There was another burst of laughter in the hall, and Lin Qing waved his sleeves in shame and stumbled out of Ningtai's door, panicking like a bereaved dog.
"Okay, okay, don't laugh, the joke ends here!"
After the audience laughed for a while, Wang Guanlan stretched out his hand to calm down the laughter, "Now that the annoying person is gone, let's talk about business!!"
Looking at the people in the hall who gradually stopped smiling, Wang Guanlan said, "You all think that the price of ferngrass is too low and you can't make money because of the years of bumper harvests and too much backlog of inventory, don't you?!
"
Everyone nodded.
"That's great, I think so too. The so-called heroes think alike is indeed true!" Wang Guanlan smiled happily, "However, using price cuts to reduce costs is not a good way.
After all, prices always have a bottom, and those of us who do business also need costs. If the price drops too much, we will still lose money in the end, so I thought of a good way?!"
good idea!!
Shopkeeper Wang felt more uneasy. He raised his head slightly and looked at the smile on Wang Guanlan's face. A cold feeling filled his heart.
"Everyone, come with me, I'll show you my method!" Wang Guanlan waved to everyone.
Everyone looked puzzled and followed them. Suddenly, the shopkeeper Wang spoke, "Young Master Fourteen, we won't go if we go along with it, right?~!"
"What?!" Wang Guanlan stopped, "Shopkeeper Wang, what do you mean?!"
"I thought about it carefully and felt that what Young Master Fourteenth said makes sense. Every family has its own difficulties. It is not impossible for everyone to overcome some things individually. Therefore, I, Shunhe Bank, are willing to accept the price reported by Young Master Fourteenth, and
Willing to bear future shipping costs!!”
What?!!
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the shopkeepers of various businesses present all looked at Shopkeeper Wang with a cannibalistic look. Shopkeeper Wang was also a little uncomfortable, and his face turned red, but he looked at him expectantly.
Looking at Wang Guanlan.
"Shopkeeper Wang is a smart man!!" Wang Guanlan sighed, "But don't you think it's too late to say this? I have given you many opportunities and a long time for you to reflect.
But you are still here today, and since you are here, you have to get things done, don’t you think?"
"This...!" Shopkeeper Wang stopped talking, and there was a trace of helplessness and even despair in his eyes.
"Let's go and see everything!!!"
Although they heard that there seemed to be a mystery hidden in the conversation between the two, the shopkeepers couldn't figure out what happened for a while, and they all followed Wang Guanlan in a hurry.
He led people to the back hall of Ningtai, and what caught everyone's eyes was a large door. When the door was opened, it was the backcourt of Ningtai Trading Company.
This backfield is actually an open square, just like the football field in Wang Guanlan's later generations, but it is larger than the football field, more than twice the size. It is specially used for drying ferns. However, today's
The number of dried ferns seems to be a bit more.
The huge square was filled with ferns. These ferns were piled into tall piles, occupying the entire place. The scene was extremely spectacular. Although these shopkeepers dealt with ferns every day, but suddenly
It was the first time that so many ferns appeared in front of them. What frightened them the most was that there were dozens of servants on the ground sprinkling kerosene on the ferns.
"Young Master Fourteenth, what are you...!"
