Chapter 699 Han Family Crisis I have a way
Han Xiaoyu finally discovered something strange in the family. As the most beloved little princess in the family, she has never lacked pocket money. Her parents and brothers will give her a lot every month. A few days ago, she went to Xingchen to take a tour, and her mother gave her one thousand yellow crystal coins in one breath.
But these days, my family didn't give her a single copper coin. When she needed money to invite some friends, she suddenly realized that her parents and brother, who usually care about her, hadn't seen her for many days.
Xiaoyu, who had been immersed in happiness and pride, finally realized the problem and immediately realized the tension and anxiety in the family. Almost all the children forced a smile when they saw themselves.
"What the hell is going on?" Xiaoyu felt uncomfortable in her suffocation, so she turned around and went to find her parents.
Han Kang is the contemporary head of the Han family. Their family is just a little nobleman. His father used to be a civilian. Later, he activated Yuan Quan at the Imperial Academy to obtain the status of a noble.
But just twenty years later, the Han family had just developed, and Mr. Han died of fire due to practicing martial arts.
Fortunately, Han Kang was very talented at that time. He was only seventeen years old and had already had three levels of internal energy, so his family did not make a flash in the pan. Later, he seized the opportunity and entered the vessel industry and successfully squeezed into the high-end market of the Dachen Kingdom, which led to the current family business.
However, just half a month ago, the Hanjia utensilshop, which had been occupying a certain share in the high-end utensils industry in Dachen, suffered a fatal blow.
Within just two or three days, the nobles of the Dachen Kingdom changed their preferences and began to pursue a kind of pure silver utensil transported from overseas. At the same time, a large number of pure silver utensils also appeared on the market, replacing the high-end market of fine pottery.
Zi silver is a kind of metal, with a sharp body and a distinct luster. It is very beautiful. The utensils are also carved with various patterns, giving people an elegant and atmospheric feeling. It only breaks the pottery products from the appearance.
Moreover, since it is made of metal, Ziyin's utensils have strong ability to resist drops, far exceeding ceramic products. Therefore, although Ziyin's utensils are very expensive, the luxurious nobles still fell in love with this new favorite.
Sales fell. Many nobles who had the intention to make reservations in advance also changed their minds and chose silverware. Han Kang was of course anxious about this. The Han family sold a single product. They only made fine pottery, and the market was all in the Dachen Kingdom, and even the kilns were there. This situation was absolutely fatal for the Han family.
For this reason, Han Kang made a special trip to the Kingdom of Dachen and prepared to join hands with some pottery merchants to resist silverware. The emergence of new utensils will definitely not only be affected by themselves, but all pottery making shops will be affected.
However, when Han Kang arrived at the Kingdom of Dachen, he found that it was not the case. Many pottery stores had turned to selling silver utensils.
It is impossible to exit this market, and there is no room for you to survive anywhere else. In this case, the only choice of the Han family is to switch to selling silverware. After many years of business in the Dachen Kingdom, Han Kang still has some connections. He has a good relationship with some nobles, and in addition, silverware is sought after, so it is not difficult to make money.
But the problem now is that the Han family has put too much money on fine pottery. If they cannot sell the large number of utensils pressed into their hands, they will have no money to purchase goods at all. Not only is the silver utensils quite expensive, but major utensils are also scrambling to buy goods. If you want less, others ignore you.
At the beginning, Han Kang wanted to invest the fine pottery into the low-end market. At worst, he could lose some money. As long as he could get a cash at hand, he could make money back after buying silver products.
But then he found that many businesses had the same idea as him, and a large number of fine pottery was invested in the low-end market, causing the price of pottery to continue to fall. At this time, there were too many losses at the bottom price, and the funds recovered could not be grabbed by the silver.
Later, he wanted to ship all the pottery in his hand back, but thinking about the high shipping fee, the idea also gave up.
In the end, Han Kang decided to come back and borrow money. As long as he had enough funds on hand, he would definitely be able to overcome this difficulty.
The next thing once again gave Han Kang a blow. When those who used to be friends with the Han family heard that he wanted to borrow money, they either shy away from the poor or avoided seeing each other. None of them reached out.
This is also the reason why the Han family has been depressing these days. Almost all the children of the family are working on their own connections, hoping to raise some money for the family. But the Han family's background is too shallow and the business is in Dachen. No one is optimistic about them, because they are afraid that the money they lend will be wasted.
As time passed, Han Kang was anxious. If he had no money to purchase goods, the silver utensils would probably have no share of his own. Then the Han family's business would be completely over. In the future, the family would have to spend money and end up in the end!
Xiaoyu rushed outside her parents' room and happened to hear her father lose his temper and scolded the so-called friends for forgetting their righteousness when they see profit. Her mother kept persuading her and reminded her that she hadn't looked for anyone yet, so she might as well try it.
"It's useless. Usually they would run to our house when they were fine and said they wanted Xiaoyu to marry their house. But since something happened to our house, are they still coming?" Han Kang said angrily.
"Or... let Xiaoyu find her friends, aren't they all fans of Bauhinia? Maybe they can help!"
"It's all a bunch of kids who love to play and make fun of it. What can they do? Will their family lend us money for the children's words? If Xiaoyu said that we would lend a lot of money to her friends, I wouldn't have paid... Forget it, don't tell her about this, this kid has been carefree since he was a child..."
"Do you think she won't notice the situation at home these days if you don't tell her? Our daughter is not young anymore!"
"Oh~" Xiaoyu's father was stunned for a moment and sighed heavily.
Xiaoyu was stunned outside the door for a long time, her eyes became redder and redder, and finally she covered her mouth and cried out loud. She really didn't expect that she would encounter such great difficulties at home, and that her parents didn't want to tell her, for fear of being sad.
The door creaked open, and Han Kang and his wife walked out, looked at Xiaoyu in surprise, unable to speak for a moment.
After a while, the mother came forward and hugged her daughter and asked, "Daughter, have you heard it?"
"Yeah!" Xiaoyu nodded, her voice choked.
Han Kang also came over, patted his daughter on the shoulder, and comforted him: "Daughter. Don't worry, the father will solve it, it's not a big deal!"
Xiaoyu suddenly raised her head from her mother's arms and asked, "How much is our family short of money?"
"Xiaoyu, you don't have to worry about it, I..."
"Dad, tell me how much money is missing in the family!" Xiaoyu asked decisively, interrupting her father for the first time in her life.
It was the first time that Han Kang and his wife saw Xiaoyu like this. Although this girl is lively, she is very well-behaved and has never been so strong.
"Dad, tell me quickly!" Xiaoyu almost shouted in the end.
"Five hundred thousand, silver utensils are very expensive. A small cup costs hundreds of yellow crystal coins. If you want to..."
"Five hundred thousand, I understand!" Xiaoyu interrupted her father again, then broke free from her mother's arms, and ran out.
"Xiaoyu!" The mother stretched out her hand and asked her to chase her, but Han Kang grabbed her wrist.
"Xiaoyu is in a state of unstable mood. Nothing will happen if she runs out like this, right?" her mother asked worriedly.
"I told someone to follow her... We didn't notice it before, and we always treated her as a child! Now, Xiaoyu has really grown up!" Han Kang sighed.
"Then do you think she can borrow money?" Xiaoyu's mother asked again.
"It's probably difficult. She will understand it soon. Her friends, if they can help her hand her a message to her family, it's not in vain... Let's continue to think of other ways!"
Han Kang shook his head bitterly, told someone to follow Xiaoyu, and then turned into the room again...
Half a month later, Xiaoyu told Tian Hongmin about the difficulties of her family in the Tian family. This was her best friend, and Xiaoyu thought of her at the first time.
"Five hundred thousand!" Tian Hongmin exclaimed. If the family's financial resources were mentioned, the Tian family could leave the Han family a few streets away. This could be seen from the fact that Tian Hongmin's father was the first to go to a teahouse to apply for a membership, and he spent 100,000 yuan in a flash.
But Tian Hongmin really couldn't agree to the number of 500,000, and her father had to nod.
"Sister Hong Min, is it very difficult?" Xiaoyu felt a little embarrassed when she saw Tian Hongmin feel a little embarrassed. He remembered his father's friends and would not refuse as soon as he borrowed money.
Xiaoyu had never encountered such a thing before. At this moment, she couldn't help but feel nervous and sweaty when her palms were sweating. This was her best friend.
Tian Hongmin is much more mature than Xiaoyu. Of course, she knows what Xiaoyu is worried about, and also knows that this girl is very sensitive now. At this time, her poor wording may cause Xiaoyu to misunderstand.
Tian Hongmin thought for a while and said to Xiaoyu: "If I have so much money, I will definitely lend it to you! But you also know that I have to find my father for this matter... This way, you come with me, I will take you to see my old man, and I will try my best to help you!"
Xiaoyu nodded silently, stood up with Tian Hongmin and walked towards the backyard.
Not long after, in the small hall in the backyard, a fat man frowned and looked embarrassed.
"Dad, just help Xiaoyu's family. She is my best sister! And I promise that Uncle Han will definitely pay back the money in the future!" Tian Hongmin pulled the fat man's sleeve and acted coquettishly.
Xiaoyu also looked at the fat man nervously and bowed and said, "Uncle Tian, please trouble you!"
The fat man looked at his daughter, then looked at Xiaoyu again, and after thinking for a while, he finally shook his head: "Xiaoyu, it's not that Uncle Tian doesn't help you! You also know that Uncle Tian is in the grain business. This year, the empire floods have caused most of the territory to be harvested, and Uncle Tian's losses have also been a lot. If I lend it to your house, I will have a problem here!"
Xiaoyu was stunned for a long time when she heard this, held back her tears, and bowed again: "I understand, thank you Uncle Tian, for causing trouble for you!"
Tian Hongmin couldn't speak at this time. Her father had already said it very clearly. She couldn't let her father get her home in there too.
Walking out of the backyard, Tian Hongmin whispered: "Xiaoyu, I'm sorry!"
"It's okay!" Xiaoyu wiped her tears and turned her head and said with a forced smile. Although she had not borrowed the money, this friend was finally not connected! She remembered what her father said not long ago. If Tian Hongmin asked her to borrow money from her, she would have to go through her father.
"But at your home..." Seeing that Xiaoyu had no grudges, Tian Hongmin felt relieved.
"It's okay, I have a way!" Xiaoyu took a deep breath and nodded vigorously! (To be continued...)
