Chapter 119: Meet the shopkeeper, go to Changdong Commercial Bank
There was nothing to say all night. The next day, Jiang Yang lost all the fatigue of the past and slept until three o'clock in the morning.
The waiter had already prepared hot water and towels, and even the food was on the table. After Jiang Yang washed up.
After just dealing with a few simple blows, Shi Gaofeng and others came back.
These people are really diligent. They received the order last night and went there early this morning.
Jiang Yang was sorting out their information while eating.
The Changdong Trading Company was originally regarded as an imperial merchant, but in the past few years, the people behind them lost a fight in the court.
Although he survived by chance, but without the qualifications of an imperial merchant, the size of this trading firm has become much smaller.
However, even if the people behind this trading company lose their power, these small local officials cannot bully them.
Therefore, the Changdong Trading Company acquired iron ore and salt in Beihai County, and even got its hands into the grain industry for a time.
This made some local business families dissatisfied. You, an outsider, can just share a bite of your meal with you. Why do you want to take the pot away directly?
So these people united and the court compressed the interests of the iron mine to the extreme, and finally the salt business was taken out.
Changdong Trading Company lost all its money, and even the grain industry kicked Changdong Trading Company out.
This reduced Changdong Trading Company to the point where it could only make a living from iron ore, but the profit was not very high. In its spare time, it could only do a little trading work.
Therefore, Changdong Trading Company held a certain amount of hostility towards some merchants, nobles and even officials in Beihai County.
As for the goods of Changdong Trading Company that they said were robbed by the captain, it was the iron ore supplied by Changdong Trading Company. However, the captain said that Changdong Trading Company was inefficient and made a bunch of excuses and took it away without paying.
.
Even when the trouble finally came to the county guard, the county guard also spoke to the captain.
Hearing this, Jiang Yang was ninety-nine percent sure.
Isn’t this just pushing it to your partners?
You want money, I want iron! It shouldn’t be too smooth, it’s a win-win situation.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend! The shopkeeper of Changdong Trading Company is already his half-brother.
As for the reputation of Changdong Trading Company, I also found out that it is neither too good nor too bad.
The things I bought were average, nothing of high quality, but there were no defective products that were fake.
That's fine too.
At ten o'clock in the afternoon, Jiang Yang decided to go and meet this former imperial merchant, now the head of Changdong Trading Company.
However, it was necessary to do this. Jiang Yang rented a very luxurious carriage, asked Shi Gaofeng to arrange for a dozen people to follow him, and headed for the Changdong Trading Company on the street.
This Changdong Trading Company is located in the southwest corner of the county town, and its store is quite large.
It was still a three-story attic. When the boy at the door saw Jiang Yang's posture, he knew that a big shot was coming, and he quickly nodded and bent down to get a saddle.
"Sir, what do you need? Our Changdong Trading Company has everything?" The boy removed the saddle and asked with a smile.
Jiang Yang glanced at him and said with a cold expression, "I want to negotiate a big deal with your shopkeeper."
"This...our shopkeeper is not here." The waiter became a little uncontrollable and started to squirm.
Jiang Yang took a package directly from the carriage, opened it and filled it with shining silver.
"Are you afraid that I won't have any money? I'm afraid that you won't have any goods. Let your shopkeeper come out." After Jiang Yang finished speaking, he walked directly inside.
He completely regarded Changdong Trading Company as his own place.
The young man looked at it and was stunned. This... this man, what's wrong... Forget it, just report it to the shopkeeper directly.
He asked the waiter inside to take Jiang Yang to the small room at the back and prepare a pot of hot tea.
On the second floor, the shopkeeper of Changdong Trading Company was dialing the abacus in front of the account book. When he heard the boy's report, he frowned and said, "You said someone is looking for me, and you are very arrogant?"
"Yes, that man also asked me not to waste time." The boy said with added jealousy.
The shopkeeper carefully folded a page of the account book. His face showed no emotion or anger, and he whispered: "Let's go."
Soon, the shopkeeper came to the inner room on the first floor. The moment he saw Jiang Yang, a smile instantly appeared on his face.
It's as passionate as if two people wanted to have the same mother.
"Hey, this little boss is so humble that he has suffered a lot." The shopkeeper of Changdong Trading Company said.
Jiang Yang was not as arrogant as he had just pretended to be. He grabbed the shopkeeper's hand, shook it up and down and said, "Oh, I've always heard that the shopkeeper of Changdong Trading Company is a big shot. It's really extraordinary when I see him today."
The two of them complimented each other and kept making rainbow farts, which made the boy at the door drop his jaw to the floor.
Damn it? What's going on? These two people have discussed their relationship? And they have such a tacit understanding that they are both cold-faced towards me.
Bah, I added a pot of tea and left immediately.
The two chatted for a long time, one praised the other for being young and promising, and the other praised the mature and prudent one.
After a while, the shopkeeper asked: "I just heard from the people below that the young master wants to do business with me?"
"There is indeed some 'big' business, and I would like to discuss it with the shopkeeper." Jiang Yang said in a low voice: "I just don't know if the shopkeeper can pay attention to it?"
"Oh? Don't worry, sir, I can make the decision for Changdong Trading Company." The shopkeeper's voice also dropped.
Jiang Yang hesitated for a moment, then said: "I want iron!"
"Iron? Master, how much do you want? Ten catties? One hundred catties? I will send someone to deliver it to you in the afternoon." The store manager smiled.
How much can an ordinary person ask for? How big of a business do you think it is? That’s it?
Is it possible that you can build me a house out of iron?
Jiang Yang chuckled lightly? One hundred catties? Not enough for a guy like Wang Pengyue to use for one day?
"The shopkeeper is looking down on me, a hundred pounds? This kind of small business is not worthy of me coming here in person." Jiang Yang stared at the shopkeeper's words and said: "I want as much as you have, even if it's an iron tower."
I can eat all the mines!”
The shopkeeper of Changdong Commercial Bank was startled. He instantly thought that the person who contacted him before seemed to be talking about... that county in Beihai County? Xia... Xia Mi County?
"Are you from Xiami County?" The shopkeeper's eyes flashed brightly and he took a sip of tea.
He had heard a little bit about what was going on in Xiami County. He heard that the current county magistrate was working hard to improve people's livelihood and was doing great things.
And I even contacted myself to ask for help, but I didn’t make up my mind because the matter was serious.
"To be honest, I am the magistrate of Mi County and have come here to discuss this matter with the shopkeeper." Jiang Yang said and placed his official seal on the table.
The shopkeeper of Changdong Trading Company's eyes lit up. He had been bullied in Beihai County for more than a day or two.
With this kind of approach now, who would have trouble with money?
Jiang Yang chuckled and said, "I have been here for a few days, and I have a general understanding of the situation of Changdong Trading Company."
