The major shops under the Lin family have been doing very well these days, crushing the Jianghai Chamber of Commerce in all fields.
Lin Kunping was in a good mood and laughed loudly while sitting in the main seat of the main hall. However, he remembered that there were guests and coughed twice to suppress his smile.
On both sides of the hall sat middle-aged men dressed in Chinese clothes. They were shopkeepers who had business dealings with Jianghai Chamber of Commerce but switched to the Lin family. The two looked at each other, and one of them said with a smile: "Here comes the Lin family leader.
It is really gratifying and congratulatory for Fan to defeat the Jianghai Chamber of Commerce."
Another person echoed: "Yes, the head of the Lin family is getting stronger and stronger, and his ability is not inferior to that of the past. He can easily hold Yue Shuhua under him!"
Lin Kunping laughed twice, waved his hands and said: "Where is it? If it weren't for your help, I really wouldn't be able to do anything with that bitch Yue Shuhua. If we wait a few more days, the Jianghai Chamber of Commerce will not be able to hold on anymore. Let's divide it together."
!”
After saying that, there was a hint of cunning in his shrewd eyes. Once the Jianghai Chamber of Commerce fell, there would be no force in Yunhuai City that could compete with the Lin family. At that time, he would not have the final say in everything.
The two shopkeepers naturally understood this truth, but they also believed that the Lin family's food would not be too ugly and they would more or less share the leftovers with them. They replied in unison: "Thank you, Master Lin!"
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Butler Luo's voice came from the yard: "Master, it's not good, it's not good!"
He ran in anxiously, panting heavily.
Lin Kunping glanced at him impatiently, and put the tea cup in his hand on the table with some displeasure: "How unbecoming is it to be in such a panic! What happened?"
Butler Luo subconsciously glanced at the shopkeepers on both sides, but found that Lin Kunping was still waiting for his next words. He showed a bitter look, cleared his throat, cupped his hands and replied: "To the head of the family, Jianghai Yuyi and Jianghai House today
It has reopened since then, and has also launched new silk and satin production and clothing co-branded with "Journey to the West". Not only that, all Jianghai's stores have completed their rest today and have reopened uniformly. Many stores also have price reductions."
Hearing this, Lin Kunping's eyes widened and he sat down on the chair. His old eyes were full of disbelief: "How... how is it possible? Where did they get the goods from?"
He has been sending people to keep an eye on the Jianghai Chamber of Commerce these days, and has not found anyone going out of the city to purchase raw materials from other states. Even if the other party does buy them, they cannot deliver them so quickly, let alone reduce the price. That madman Yue Shuhua should
You don’t really want to fight him to the death, do you?
Just as he was thinking, the two people who were sitting in the guest seats and laughing also stood up nervously: "Master Lin, this... what should we do?"
When Lin Kunping first wooed these raw material merchants, he signed a contract with them, promising to bear all losses. If the shops of the Jianghai Department returned to normal operation, the Lin family would have to pay compensation for a sum of money. Thinking of this, he quickly adjusted
The mood calmed the two of them: "Don't worry, you two, Jianghai Chamber of Commerce must be at the end of its strength and struggling to the death."
The two shopkeepers were obviously not that easy to fool, and they planned to investigate in person. They looked at each other, cupped their hands and said, "In that case, we will leave first."
"Okay, I'll see you two off." Lin Kunping climbed up from the chair with great effort.
The two of them were a little surprised. They had visited the Lin family before. Lin Kunping had always had a arrogant attitude. Whenever he saw off guests in person, they felt even more uneasy, so they did not accept the gift: "Master Lin, stay here."
After saying that, the two quickly walked outside the house.
Lin Kunping stood there, staring outside the house in a daze for a while. When he came back to his senses, he found that Butler Luo was still standing behind him. He immediately raised his eyebrows angrily and shouted: "What are you doing standing still here? Go and find out about Jiang Hai for me." What tricks is the Chamber of Commerce playing again!"
"Yes, yes..." Butler Luo cupped his hands and hurried out of the house.
...
"Oh, things can change today. It was raining yesterday, but today the sun is shining, and my mood has improved. Let me buy two more clothes to reward myself." Jianghai Yuyi, wearing a The gorgeous girl walked briskly and let out a sigh.
The little maid following her pursed her lips. The young lady could use the weather as an excuse to buy clothes now, but she suddenly remembered something and reminded: "Miss, the fourth volume of "The Peony Pavilion" will be on sale tomorrow. "
"Ah~ Okay, let's just stroll around and talk about what you like." The girl's pace slowed down. Now she and several little sisters were chatting about the contents of "The Peony Pavilion", so the new book must be Gotta buy it!
Following the pair of masters and servants, the girl wearing a white jade skirt touched her lips and snickered, and said to the young man in green next to her: "No wonder the bookstore is so profitable. In order to study, everyone is not even willing to buy new clothes."
"Everything is inferior, but reading is good. Reading is so good, it can sublimate the soul..." Tang Ji raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said a piece of nonsense literature.
Soon, he took Jiang Ran and Jiu'er into the store, and happened to see Yue Shuhua among them.
"I knew you would come over. Let's go, sister Jiang Ran. I'll pick out two new clothes for you." Yue Shuhua walked up to the three of them unhurriedly, took Jiang Ran's arm, and pulled him towards him. Walk to the ready-to-wear display area in the distance.
Jiu'er glanced at Tang Ji and followed quickly.
Tang Ji shook his head and didn't care. After all, only women understand women, and he wasn't good at choosing clothes. Instead, he walked around in a small circle among the building leaders. He saw an area crowded with people, so he squeezed in curiously. After entering, I found out that it was a display area of clothes co-branded with "Journey to the West". There were white snow jade rabbit skirts, spider black silk skirts, monk white fox shirts, and even Jiedi Mansion's White Bone Essence suit... He was a pervert. They all felt perverted and couldn't help but shudder. Some admired the people who designed these costumes.
It didn't take long for Yue Shuhua to choose three beautiful clothes for Jiang Ran: "These are all made of fine Yaozhou Yun silk, and they are very comfortable to wear."
But before Jiang Ran could say thank you, the noise coming from the gate attracted their attention.
I saw a group of men wearing extraordinary clothes crowding into the building. After finding Yue Shuhua's figure, they all walked over and started chatting in all directions.
"Shop Manager Yue, my cloth prices have returned to normal. Would you like to buy some?"
"Yes, yes, yes, Shopkeeper Yue, and me. I have always provided you with food at the original price. Oh no, how about only 80% of the original price?"
"Don't be too crowded, Shopkeeper Yue, and I..."
"..."
These people had been observing for a whole morning and found that the shops under Jianghai were not struggling. On the contrary, the inventory was very sufficient, which also made them realize the reality. As a long-established aristocracy, the Lin family was destined to be stepped on by the Jianghai Chamber of Commerce, and their If the raw materials were piled up in his hands, the losses would only get bigger and bigger, so he didn't think much about it and went straight to Yue Shuhua for peace.
But Yue Shuhua wanted to use the help of these people to eradicate the Lin family, so naturally he couldn't agree, so he directly raised his jade hand: "If you don't want to buy clothes, I hope you won't disturb our store's business. Guards, please leave the shopkeepers!"
"
"Shop Manager Yue, please think about it again!"
"Yes, Shopkeeper Yue, it was all my fault before!"
The guard quickly walked over, separated them from Yue Shuhua, and raised his hand to signal everyone to leave.
Everyone wanted to try harder, but when they saw a man who rushed out and was thrown out, they did not act rashly. Someone noticed Tang Ji standing aside, as if he saw hope: "Shopkeeper Tang, please help us.
Speak and persuade Shopkeeper Yue, okay?"
Tang Ji crossed his arms and saw Jiang Ran waving to him. He walked over with a smile on his face and said lightly: "Who cares about you..."
