In fact, Lin Jinxu also thought about lowering prices, but it would be nothing if he had lowered prices with other weaving workshops from the beginning. Now only the New Silk Road Silk Weaving Factory has reduced prices, which would be too conspicuous. And now the silk farmers have a lot of resentment. , It’s just that the price of the New Silk Road Silk Weaving Factory has not been reduced, so there is hope. Once the New Silk Road Silk Weaving Factory has also lowered the price at this time, maybe it will send this resentment to the New Silk Road Silk Weaving Factory, which may be awesome. Xingtang's wish is here.
But Lin Jinxu also knew that if he could not resist this, he would probably have to lower the price sooner or later. If the price had to be reduced, it would be better to lower the price later than to lower the price early. The longer the time would be, the more unfavorable it would be to the New Silk Road Silk Weaving Factory. Therefore, Lin Jinxu finally decided that starting tomorrow, the New Silk Road Silk Weaving Factory would also reduce the price of purchasing raw silk, and ordered someone to write another brand that purchased raw silk.
The next morning, before Lin Jinxu got up, he heard a loud noise outside, and he also saw a lot of "dong, dong, dong" smashing the door. He could vaguely hear someone shouting: " Open the door, open the door, sell raw silk.”
Lin Jinxu's wife Zhao Wenhui was also awakened. She was shocked when she heard the noise and said in a trembling voice: "Honey, what happened?"
Lin Jinxu hurriedly comforted his wife and said, "Don't be afraid, I'll go and have a look."
Then he hurried to get dressed and didn't care about washing, so he came to the store in front. At this time, the store had not opened yet, but the door had been smashed by the silk farmer outside, and if there were two friends inside. I'm afraid I've been smashed open by a silk farmer long ago when I faced the door.
Someone shouted, "Open the door, open the door quickly, we are going to sell raw silk."
"The door is not open yet, so do you have to lower the price?"
"No price cuts are allowed. Anyone who cuts the price will smash the store."
When the sounds outside the door were heard, the couple were so scared that their faces turned pale. At this time, Huang Taisong, Xu Renzhang, He Zhong, Li Wanjiang and others also rushed over, and everyone looked very nervous.
Xu Renzhang said: "The big shopkeeper, it's too messy outside now. Will you open it later? That way, some of it will disperse?"
Lin Jinxu smiled bitterly and said, "They are all waiting to sell raw silk? How could it disperse? It must be that the news that we discussed the price reduction last night was leaked. So these silk farmers are anxious. They are always locked up. The door is not a solution. The more we don’t open the door, the more anxious they will be. Maybe they will really knock the door open?"
He Zhong said in a trembling voice: "What should I do? Should I send someone to invite the merchant army and drive them away?"
Lin Jinxu shook his head and said, "They just want to sell raw silk, and they did not violate the rules and regulations. What's the matter with the merchant army? They can drive people around randomly, but they can only be more complicated. Now they can only open their doors immediately and still follow the original price. Purchase raw silk.”
Li Wanjiang said: "But isn't it a solution to buy raw silk at the original price?"
Lin Jinxu said, "There is no other way, let's deal with today first." He turned around and said to Huang Taisong and others: "Master Huang, wait a while for you to lead people to maintain good order and keep the silk farmers out of the door. If you put one in and sell raw silk, don’t mess around.”
Huang Taisong nodded and ordered his escort, "I'll be more energetic after a while, and it's time to do my best."
The others looked at each other and knew there was no other way.
At the warning of Lin Xusheng, a guy came to the door and shouted: "Everyone outside is quiet, step back a little, and squeezed in the door. How do we open the door?"
After a while, the sound outside became much smaller. The guy looked out through the crack in the door and turned around and said, "The big shopkeeper, you have all retreated."
Lin Xusheng nodded and gritted his teeth and said, "Open the door."
With a creak, the door opened, and saw that there were silk farmers standing outside the door. It was almost as big as the number of people was not two or three hundred. They were carrying pockets and carrying loads, and they were obviously raw silk.
Seeing that the door had opened, the silk farmers were about to break into it, but Huang Taisong had led several escorts out of the gate, stood on the steps, and shouted: "What are you grabbing? If you want to sell raw silk, you should be honest. Go and queue up, don’t squeeze or grab it, otherwise everyone’s raw silk will not be sold.”
The silk farmers were shocked by their momentum and stopped unconsciously. At this time, another guy came out and listed the price list for purchasing raw silk today. Although most silk farmers were illiterate, they basically recognized all the numbers. I saw that the price was the same as yesterday. The silk farmers did not intend to cause trouble, but were worried that the new Silk Road Silk Weaving Factory had also lowered the price. Now, seeing that the price has not changed, they all felt at ease, so they all obediently obeyed Huang Taisong and others. The arrangement lined up and waited to sell their raw silk according to order.
In the inner room of the weaving factory, Lin Xusheng also wiped his sweat and his heart was finally relieved. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. This crisis finally avoided passing.
He Zhong said: "I have avoided it today, so what should I do tomorrow? If we continue to acquire it like this, we can't hold on for a few days!"
Lin Xusheng nodded and called Lin Chen and said, "Achen, I don't have time to write a letter now. You know everything anyway. Now I will rush back to Hangzhou to meet Lord Shang immediately and report the situation here to Lord Shang truthfully. Please make a decision. Countermeasures.”
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
"Oh! The New Silk Road Silk Weaving Factory has not cut the price today. Are you still purchasing raw silk at the original price?" Zheng Jinggao lay halfway on the imperial concubine's couch, enjoying the two 14 or 15-year-old boys with beautiful eyebrows, one pinched their feet and the other hit them with their eyes closed. He said carelessly while he was in the back.
"Yes, dad. I heard that they also discussed reducing the price last night, but they still hung up the original purchase price brand early this morning. Now they are still buying raw silk at this price!" Zheng Fusheng lowered He raised his head and replied respectfully, but he always glanced upwards unconsciously, Yun Niang, who was teasing the parrot behind the imperial concubine's couch.
Zheng Jinggao snorted and said, "It's good not to reduce the price. If they forcefully lower the price today, they might have made a return, but if they don't lower the price today, the more they drag it back, the less they can't lower it. .I want to see how much money this new Silk Road Silk Weaving Factory has and how many days it can last. Shang Yi wants to fight with our family, but he is still very tender!"
Zheng Fusheng hurriedly said, "Of course, what is Shang Yi? Compared with you, you always use a little trick to make the new Silk Road silk weaving factory mess up. I'm afraid you're now There is today or tomorrow."
At this time, Zhao Ping, who was on the side, coughed gently. Zheng Jinggao immediately heard it, opened his eyes immediately and said, "Zhao Ping, do you have anything to say?"
Zhao Ping hurriedly said, "Uncle, although the method you used is good, it is not beneficial to our Longxing Hall at all. Luo Daowei from Xiangyun Records, Zhou Ninghua from Jinsi Records, Chen Anzhen from Caizhao Records and others yesterday I have asked me, and they all want to know, when will we raise the price?"
Zheng Jinggao closed his eyes again and said disdainfully: "What price is raised? It has not yet squeezed out the New Silk Road Silk Weaving Factory. What should I be anxious about? Let them wait. When the price is 3, our family will naturally notify them."
Zhao Ping hesitated for a moment and said, "Uncle, the raw silk in February is almost the same, but the new Silk Road Silk Weaving Factory has collected it. It's nothing? Anyway, there are not many raw silk in February, but March is coming. , It is the peak season for raw silk, and we are still under the price, but we are afraid that we can't charge much raw silk. Without raw silk, every workshop cannot start construction, and the expenses of the workshop and the wages of the craftsmen cannot be reduced. It's no wonder they're anxious, I..."
Before Zhao Ping finished speaking, he heard a "bang" sound. Zheng Jinggao slapped the couch board, sat up from the couch, and said angrily: "Fuck, do you think I don't know? They have been in Longxing for more than ten years. Do you still make less money in the church? Why can’t you lose a little this year? You still have to cry in front of me? Even if you don’t make a fortune this year, you can still live. You have to help them talk. ”
Seeing that Zheng Jinggao was angry, Zhao Ping hurriedly lowered his head, bent down, and said, "Uncle, I don't mean that. It's just that the raw silk cannot be collected, and our weaving bureau cannot start work! This year's task in the palace is There is no way to complete it. At that time, uncle, how can you serve the court? It seems that I might as well collect some of the raw silk first to ensure that the weaving bureau can start construction and take the rest slowly.”
Zheng Jinggao snorted again and said, "Zhao Ping, your little bit of evil thought can't deceive me. I'll put the raw silk for silk making first. As long as the hole is opened, I can't hold it back, I'm afraid Even your workshop will be full! So you'd better die if you die. I'll say the ugly words first. If you dare to raise the price of raw silk on my back, don't be afraid that I will turn against you."
Zhao Ping was startled and hurriedly said, "Uncle, I dare not scare you. My nephew didn't say much, just because he was worried about his uncle. Is it difficult to deal with the palace?"
Zheng Jinggao sneered and said, "You don't need to worry about this. I've already thought of a countermeasure and will push it to Shang Yi at that time. This time, his family will be destroyed and the consequences will not be over."
Zhao Ping felt cold and didn't dare to say anything. Zheng Jinggao waved his hand and said, "You two, remember to warn those people, it's best to be more content and don't have any bad intentions to buy raw silk. I can't help but I can't help them."
After the two left, Zheng Jinggao then grabbed Yun Niang's hand and said, "Baby, your method is really good. Not only does it lower the price of raw silk, but it can also kill Shangyi. It's really a killing two birds with one stone! ”
Yun Niang said lightly: "What's there to be happy about? Is the New Silk Road Silk Weaving Factory squeezed out?"
Zheng Jinggao said: "They are just struggling to death now. If they want to collect the entire Suzhou raw silk, it will cost millions of taels of silver. Do they have that much silver?"
Yun Niang said: "Do you know when they can hold on? What if your subordinates can't hold on first?"
Zheng Jinggao was stunned and said, "Dare you, who dares to raise the price? I will drive him out of Longxingtang immediately."
Yun Niang chuckled and said, "What are you afraid of? Being driven out of Longxingtang, you can just go to the New Silk Road Silk Weaving Factory. What can you do to him?"
Zheng Jinggao was really stupid when he heard this. If someone defected to the New Silk Road Silk Weaving Factory, he would have no choice but to do anything to him, so he was speechless when asked. Yun Niang chuckled again and said, "
Judging from your appearance, I have no idea. Come on, I will teach you another method."
