In Huangmei, the weather is humid and a bit muggy, making people feel a bit irritable.
Shopkeeper Qian was sitting on a chair, constantly smoking a hookah, standing up for a while, pacing around the room, and sitting down again, feeling confused and a little restless.
At this time, shopkeeper Qian's assistant Zhang Hong came in and handed shopkeeper Qian a letter. Shopkeeper Qian opened the letter and was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat.
The letter was sent by the provincial government. It doesn’t matter if you don’t read it, but you will be shocked when you read it. The letter states: By order of the imperial court, inspectors will be sent to settle the profit of this year’s spring silk in the near future. Please have the cash ready.
Looking at the intact package of dried scriptures in the warehouse, shopkeeper Qian was worried. Not to mention the huge losses that had already been caused, if someone came to see the intact package of dried scriptures in the warehouse, none of which had been sold so far, it would cause
What should I do if I am charged with dereliction of duty due to a huge loss? I am so anxious that the money shopkeeper is running around.
Zhuang Maosheng suggested that he discuss with Liu Yong. This time he intends to raise the market price. Although he is not the mastermind, he is also a supporter and direct participant. Now he wants to ask him again. Where can he put his face? Thinking about it, it's fate.
It's more important than face. It would be even worse if the court held him accountable and charged him with dereliction of duty. If he was desperate, he might as well explain the whole situation to Liu Yong.
Shopkeeper Qian entered the Liu family courtyard with a smile.
In the yard, Liu Yong and Xiao Anwei were catching butterflies.
Seeing shopkeeper Qian come in, Liu Yonghongying led Xiao Anhui away. He stood up, bowed his hands, and said with a smile: Shopkeeper Qian is such a rare visitor. Your visit to this humble house will make my door brighter. Please come in, please come in.
Shopkeeper Qian also smiled and said: It is indeed my first time to enter the Liu Family Courtyard, it is really an eye-opener for me.
Liu Yong smiled and said: It is still a bit messy and needs to be improved.
Shopkeeper Qian followed Liu Yong into the living room.
Shopkeeper Qian looked around and was amazed by the dazzling mahogany furniture all over the room.
Liu Yong gave up his seat and ordered his servants to serve tea.
Liu Yong smiled and said: "Shopkeeper Qian comes to my humble house, what's the point of doing this?"
Shopkeeper Qian changed his usual domineering and condescending demeanor and said hesitantly: I have taken the liberty to come here because I have a request from Brother Liu.
Liu Yong said: How do you say this?
Shopkeeper Qian said: I can tell you the truth in front of Brother Liu. I have not sold a pack of spring silk so far, and all of it has become inventory. Recently, it has been a little difficult to have working capital, and the Weaving Bureau is also in trouble at the moment, and it can't allocate funds at once.
Liu Yong made a sound and said: It turns out that shopkeeper Qian wants to transfer some funds with me. I wonder how much he wants?
Shopkeeper Qian said sheepishly: I don’t have working capital, so I want to transfer part of the inventory to Brother Liu at cost price.
Liu Yong knew in his heart that it was the typhoon season, and foreign ships could not come in, resulting in low prices for dried silk. Once the typhoon passed and foreign ships came in, the price would inevitably go up. The spring silk season was also coming to an end, and he had to wait until autumn silk to get goods.
So he smiled and said: I wonder how much shopkeeper Qian wants to transfer? What is the price?
Shopkeeper Qian was embarrassed and said: I can't hide it from Brother Liu. There are still 80 bales left. The purchase price for 20 bales is one to two cents, and the purchase price for 60 bales is one to two cents. I wonder what Brother Liu thinks?
Liu Yong smiled and said: If shopkeeper Qian doesn't care, all the 80 bags will be given to me at one, two and five cents.
Shopkeeper Qian looked at Liu Yong with wide eyes and said in surprise: Brother Liu, are you serious about this?
Liu Yong smiled and said: You are not joking. You will pay the money and deliver the goods tomorrow.
When shopkeeper Qian heard this, he was so excited that he knelt down to Liu Yong. Liu Yong said: Hey, hey, hey! This is absolutely impossible, you are shortening my life.
Shopkeeper Qian was helped up by Liu Yong and sat on the chair again, and said excitedly: Brother Liu saved my life this time, and I can't thank you enough.
Liu Yong smiled and said: Shopkeeper Qian's words are serious.
Shopkeeper Qian said: "Brother Liu didn't know something. This time I listened to Zhuang Maosheng's words and raised the price of silk without authorization. I used the heart of a villain to judge the belly of a gentleman, and ended up shooting myself in the foot. Now. Now
, the goods are all in the warehouse, and the Weaving Bureau needs someone to settle the profit of spring silk, otherwise, I don’t know how to deal with it. Brother Liu saved me, this is great, my bank does not lose money, but has nearly two thousand taels.
Profits. Brother Liu is so kind and kind that I will never forget it.
Liu Yong smiled and said: We just did a business. I am willing to buy and you are willing to sell. How can we talk about great kindness? Of course, we businessmen put trust first, and our industry is about measuring cloth.
, is also measuring people.
Shopkeeper Qian bowed his body and said: Brother Liu's words are profound and I have benefited a lot from them.
...
Three days later, the Hangzhou Weaving Bureau, under the order of the imperial court, sent two inspectors to Nanxun Jingzhuang to inspect the purchase, sale and profits of spring silk in Jingzhuang.
At the dinner table, shopkeeper Qian persuaded the guests to drink with a smile on his face, and asked the accountant to take the report to the auditors.
The inspectors saw that in addition to tribute silk, there was a profit of 2,000 taels from the sale of spring silk alone. Shopkeeper Qian gave a thumbs up and said: It is not easy to have so much profit from spring silk alone. Shopkeeper Qian
Well-managed business is respectable and respectable!
Shopkeeper Qian smiled and said: When you eat from the bowl, you should think of the pot. This is my duty. The court and the bureau are currently short of silver. I have already made preparations. Just bring the banknotes with you when you return. Come on, come on.
, drink and drink.
Shopkeeper Qian knew in his heart that if Liu Yong hadn't come to his aid this time and settled all his inventory at a higher price than the market price, he really didn't know how he would have ended up next.
...
A few days later, Liu Yong received an urgent telegram from Arong from Shanghai. It said: Shanghai is out of stock, prices are soaring, please organize supplies to Shanghai as soon as possible. Liu Yong looked at the telegram with a smile on his face. He
Immediately notify Song Hongsheng and Wang Baohe to ship overnight.
In two days, the ship arrived at Shiliupu Pier, where Ah Rong and several foreigners were already waiting there.
After negotiating the price, the deal was settled at two for two.
The goods were weighed and delivered at the dock on the spot. The money was paid in one hand and the goods were delivered in the other hand. This time, Liu Yong accidentally made another large sum of money.
Liu Yong paid a few words of care to Arong and returned to Nanxun with Song Hongsheng and Wang Baohe on the boat.
Back in Nanxun, as soon as the ship docked, I heard someone talking, saying: Thank you for discovering it early, if it had been later, you would have died.
Liu Yong stepped forward and asked: What are you talking about?
Several people saw it was Liu Yong. They said: Mr. Liu, you don't know something. Zhuang Maosheng lost a lot of money in business. He ate and slept at home all day long. His mother-in-law also quarreled with him every day. Helplessly, he
He hanged himself, but thanks to early discovery, there is no problem.
Liu Yong let out a surprised sound and said: Is there such a thing?
One said: He is usually a bit of a petty person. He has no ability and cannot see others getting rich, so no one sympathizes with him.
Liu Yong turned to Song Hongsheng and Wang Baohe and said: You go home first, I'll go over and take a look.
...
Mrs. Zhuang, Mrs. Cao, was sitting in the living room with a sad face, wiping her tears. When she saw Liu Yong come in, she didn't know what Liu Yong's intention was, so she stood up and said: Oh, Mr. Liu, your holy face doesn't look at the Buddha's face, please go.
Please forgive him and stop arguing with him. Our family can no longer survive.
Liu Yong smiled and said: What's the big deal? Making money and losing money are normal things. How can you make money every time in business? What about others?
Cao said, "I'm lying on the bed in the back room."
Liu Yong said: I just want to look at him.
Liu Yong came to Zhuang Maosheng's bed and saw Zhuang Maosheng lying face inward.
Liu Yong said: Oh, brother Maosheng, what big deal can’t make you think about it? A man must be able to bend and stretch. How can you make money every time in business? If you don’t think about yourself, you should also think about your family and children. If you don’t have the money, you can pay it back.
You can earn it back, but if the people are gone, nothing will be left.
After listening to Liu Yong's words, Zhuang Maosheng felt a little touched and burst into tears. He said: Mr. Liu, this time I had bad intentions and brought it upon myself. I'm sorry for you.
Liu Yongdao: Brother Maosheng's words are wrong. I have no enmity with you in the past life, and we have no enmity in this life. You do your business, and I do mine. There is nothing worthy or sorry for you. You have to cheer up and start over. If the Qiu Silk Quotes
Okay, I'll make money back from one business. Don't worry, if you don't have working capital, you can get it from me. If you make money, you can pay me back. Don't worry, I won't calculate profits with you. If you don't make money, I won't ask you for it.
Liu Yong's words made Zhuang Maosheng cry bitterly. This chapter has been completed!
