The three bosses Jin Zhen, who visited the situation in person, could not see why. Not to mention other businessmen and some powerful wealthy families.
In view of Guo Changlong's back figure and his status as the only royal merchant, their every move usually attracts special attention. The same is true for this time's low-price sale. I don't know how many people's attention has been secretly attracted. After understanding the basic situation, it will be more
This has caused confusion among countless people.
The more clearly I saw it, the more I couldn't figure it out, and the more I couldn't figure it out, the more suspicious I became. After seven days of continuous observation, I saw that Guo Changlong's so-called affordable sales had no intention of stopping at all, and had already had a huge impact.
The business of other merchants has also been affected. After the bustling business in the past has become the current one with no one paying attention, the merchants are a little anxious.
Although so far, they have not understood what kind of tricks Guo Changlong is playing, their own interests have been affected first, which is not a good sign. They do not want to wait any longer. After some businessmen have colluded, they have begun to work together.
put pressure on Guo Changlong.
Fan Bai, the second shopkeeper, has really experienced what it means to hit the back of the head when he is busy.
The new boss, Young Master Shen Ao, has a lot of tricks. One sale at a low price makes the whole Guochanglong busy, so that the guys who usually squeeze in through connections and have nothing to do have to put their hands to work.
, which caused a lot of complaints.
After all, these people have received wages. If they didn't work before, they would have nothing to do. Now that they are busy, of course they have to contribute. If anyone is lazy, others will inevitably have to work more. They stare at each other and stretch out their hands.
This is an internal matter at least, and it is not difficult to solve. The difficulty is that the merchants who usually supply Guochanglong have also collectively found themselves. What they are saying is one thing, please Guochanglong restore the price to the original.
If this continues, it will affect their ability to eat. Otherwise, they will stop supplying Guochanglong.
Threaten the imperial merchants!
This is a crime. If there are only one or two businessmen, they would not dare to do this. But if everyone unites, they will be much more confident, and they will not be afraid that Guo Changlong will accuse them. Isn't there a word?
Is it called the law not punishing the public?
Naturally, Fan Bai would not dare to agree to a price increase. If this happened, wouldn't it be a slap in the face? Where would Guochanglong's credibility lie?
But what to do if the other party really stops supplying goods without lowering the price? Fan Bai, who has no idea, has to find Shen Ao, who is still busy in the workshop, and throws out the problem.
"Are they threatening the country's prosperity by not supplying goods?" Shen Ao, who had just finished a bottle of perfume, asked in a casual tone while wiping his hands under Shi Lei's service.
"Yes, young master, what do you think we should do?" Seeing that Shen Ao was not in a hurry, Fan Bai didn't know the consequences of being out of stock in the future, so he thought of explaining it carefully and clarifying the power of it.
relation.
Unexpectedly, before Fan Bai could explain the situation, Shen Ao had already wiped his hands and said: "Can we still eat pigs with hair without Butcher Zhang? If they don't want to supply, they don't need to supply them. If you have money, you are afraid that there will be no supply.
?By the way, Fan Bai, has Guochang Longke signed any supply agreement with them?"
"Supply agreement? This... there is no one." Fan Bai thought about it carefully, and then shook his head like a rattle. They are the only royal merchants of the Daqian Dynasty. As long as the supplier agrees to them, it is
Never dare to use any tricks, otherwise the birthday girl will hang himself because he thinks his life is too long.
In fact, in the society at that time, the communication between businessmen was mainly about verbal commitments, and there was no such thing as an agreement. If an agreement was to be signed, it was a matter of communication between countries.
At this point, Shen Ao had already prepared, and was not surprised when he heard Fan Bai's answer. "It's better not to have an agreement, so that we don't violate any laws if we don't use their goods. Besides, this was what they proposed first." If you don't supply the goods, you can't blame us. It's just Fan Bai. This incident has reminded us that in the future we will sign supply agreements with those suppliers and everything will follow the agreement. If anyone breaches the contract, That means you have to pay a huge amount of liquidated damages, do you understand?"
Fan Bai has been working at Guochanglong for seven or eight years. This is the first time he has heard of this supply agreement. He is even more confused about what liquidated damages are. "Young Master, this... this... .”
"Okay, I'll write a supply agreement for you later." Knowing that Fan Bai didn't understand, Shen Ao could only shake his head helplessly. There was no way, there were some things that only he understood, and he knew best. Then only those who are able work harder.
Seeing that Shen Ao agreed, Fan Bai's face immediately became much better. But when he thought of the merchants who were going to jointly run out of stock, he said anxiously: "Young Master, what should we do now? Those merchants are still waiting. Here’s your little reply.”
"Then you write back to them and tell them that price reduction is impossible. Even if our country Changlong publicizes the price parity, it will not take it back. If they are unwilling to supply, then sever the cooperative relationship. By the way, Fan Bai, please notify the major warehouses to be ready to receive them. The grain shipped from the Jiangnan area will arrive soon."
"Wha... what? The food from Jiangnan is coming soon?" Fan Bai opened his mouth. He didn't know this news at all. Just now, he was worried that there was not enough food in the warehouse to sell, but he didn't expect it to happen so quickly. It was solved.
"Yes." Shen Ao said in a decisive tone, "Eight days ago, a certain person arranged for guard Feng Xun to take enough deposits and ride a fast horse to the south of the Yangtze River. The food issue has been negotiated, and the first batch will be transported by water. When we get to Daliang, we can probably reach it within three to five days."
It seemed as if he was saying something great. But when Fan Bai heard these words, he was greatly shocked. Only then did he remember that the young master had spent a large amount of money a few days ago. , at that time, he was here to make goat milk soap and perfume, but now it seems that he is going to buy food.
This scene could be seen a few days ago, and Shen Ao's figure became taller in Fan Bai's eyes in an instant.
It is said that the master is the teacher. Shen Ao, a person who has taken one step and has already seen three steps or even further, makes Fan Bai extremely admired, and also gives him the idea and determination to follow Shen Ao to do a great career. .
Fan Bai left with confidence, went to see the businessmen again, and refused firmly. He claimed that as the only royal merchant of the Daqian Dynasty, Guo Changlong could not always think about making money, but it was also important to repay the people. As one of his responsibilities, he sympathized with the inconvenience caused to other businessmen. If these businessmen had to cut off supply to Guochanglong because of this, he could only express regret.
Without telling him that he had found a new supplier, Fan Bai also wanted to see what these businessmen would do next.
Such a harsh answer naturally stimulated these businessmen. After Fan Bai left, the businessmen held a meeting to study and decide to stop supplying to Guochanglong until the other party lowered its head and raised prices. Not only that, some businessmen also suggested that they could
Spreading the news about the shortage will definitely have a serious blow to Guochanglong. At that time, they will look at each other to beg them, and then they will take the opportunity to raise prices. Everyone can also
The losses during this period will be made up for.
The merchants reached a consensus. That night, the news spread that Guochanglong was jointly stopped by the merchants. The direct consequence was that early the next morning, more people gathered outside the thirty-six Guochanglong branches.
People. Obviously everyone knows about this matter and is worried that affordable sales will no longer exist in the future. They all want to prepare more for their families. So much so that not only food, but all Guochanglong's goods have accelerated their sales. Some
The goods placed in the warehouse also took the opportunity to be sold.
Forgetful Mansion.
The eldest princess was listening to Zhuyun's report in her mansion, with stacks of account books placed on the table beside her.
When she heard that in a short period of time, Guochanglong's shipment speed had reached the normal level of nearly a year, and she had also made a huge profit, her beautiful eyes kept blinking. This result was really true.
Beyond her expectation.
Originally with the idea of giving it a try, she handed Guochanglong to Shen Ao. She had already seen goat milk soap, and she had also used the newly developed perfume. With a woman's intuition, these two products would definitely sell well.
, which means a steady stream of money is coming into the account. Based on this, the results of the cooperation with Shen Ao can also be expected.
What is unimaginable is that before these novel goods were taken out, Guochanglong had already made a lot of money with just the common goods in the market, and he had more financial surplus. This harvest was really
Somewhat unexpected.
"Master, my young master is really awesome. You don't know that some of the goods in the warehouse are basically out of the closet. Some of them are already outdated. Even if they are sold at half price, it will be difficult to sell them.
Now it has been sold at a very high price. This alone has made a lot of money.
Zhu Yun, who had always been steady, was chattering like a little girl who had never seen the world, but it did not upset the eldest princess. On the contrary, she was very willing to listen. How to say Shen Ao
He also discovered and reused it by himself. If he has achievements, then they are his own achievements. At least her ability to recognize people with a keen eye is proven.
"Very good. In this way, I will ask the imperial brother to send the imperial chef of this palace to cook a few more dishes and deliver them to Lord Zhongguo. He has been working hard these days."
"No." Zhuyun agreed with joy on his face, as if it was a matter of course.
"Okay, I also want to go to the palace. Since it is a happy event, I should share it with the royal brother early, change clothes and prepare the car." The eldest princess stood up, and she looked even more heroic at this moment.
