Just when Ximen Qing and Guan Sheng were stationed in Zhaode City and reorganizing their troops, under the surface of peaceful singing and dancing in Bianliang City, undercurrents were also surging.
"Uncle, have you checked everything?"
Pan Jinlian and Jia were sitting side by side, with things in front of them that the Imperial City Division had found during this period.
Wu Song and Jiang Jing sat across from each other with worried expressions on their faces.
"It's clear." Wu Song said, "Behind is Baihua Tower."
Jiang Jing had obviously heard the news and was not too surprised, while Pan Jinlian and Jia were both shocked. Jia even covered her mouth and nose with her sleeves to cover up her gaffe.
"This is impossible." Pan Jinlian frowned slightly. As the proprietress of Chuixuelou, her busy life did not leave any traces on her face, and the reason for her denial was also very sufficient: "Baihualou is almost our largest
How can customers secretly acquire all the Jing Yangchuns on the market? What benefit does this have to them?"
Jia also agreed with Pan Jinlian's view.
Baihualou buys a lot of Jingyangchun from Chuixuelou every day. If he wants to increase the purchase volume, he can discuss with Chuixuelou. Why should he eat all the Jingyangchun on the market? And these disappeared Jingyangchun are not
It has not reappeared on the market.
"Jiang and the Second Master have discussed it, but we don't have any clues." Jiang Jing, the divine fortune teller, took a sip of the Jing Yangchun he carried with him. This has long become one of his habits: "But if something is extraordinary, it must be a monster, and this Baihua Tower will definitely not
They will do this for no reason; although there is no loss for Chuixuelou at the moment, except for Chuixuelou, which is still selling Jingyangchun in limited quantities, Jingyangchun is almost invisible on the market."
Then Jiang Jing gave a number: "The money Baihualou used to acquire Jing Yangchun has exceeded 100,000 yuan."
"One hundred thousand strings!"
Pan Jinlian and Jia didn't expect that the number had reached such an alarming level.
Most of the merchants who are said to have millions of dollars actually have a lot of money either on houses or shops, or on goods, and their daily working capital is less than 100,000 dollars.
And Baihualou has sold more than 100,000 yuan to buy all the Jing Yangchun on the market.
Who is the boss behind Baihualou? Why did he invest so much money?
"Could it be that they are just hoarding and waiting for the price of Jingyangchun to rise?" Jia suddenly said: "This kind of thing is very common, and Jingyangchun is a commodity that is in short supply. If the price of Jingyangchun goes up, the profits can be imagined."
"Although it is not impossible, in fact Baihualou cannot make money from this." Pan Jinlian disagreed with Jia's statement: "And we have always abided by the rules set by the master, the prices, and the Jing Yangchun sold every day.
The quantity remains unchanged. Furthermore, Baihualou has accumulated a large amount of Jing Yangchun. Even if the price increases, it is impossible to sell them all. When the time comes, the price of Jing Yangchun will actually drop... Not to mention that he is secretly acquiring Jing Yangchun.
In spring, the average price is already 30% higher than the normal price."
As if to prove her point of view, Pan Jinlian pointed at the news from the Imperial City Division, in which many examples were recorded.
"No matter who is the boss behind Baihualou." Wu Song said flatly: "This person is either a madman or a genius. He is achieving his goal in a way that we can't think of."
After a slight pause, Wu Song expressed his thoughts: "Should you inform the elder brother and ask him to make an idea? Yesterday, an urgent report was sent. Zhaode Mansion has been captured. They are resting in Zhaode City. Next time
One step away is Wei Shengzhou.”
"Wait a moment." Pan Jinlian shook his head: "I still say what I said. What the enemy is going to do has not been revealed yet. Even if I bring the news to the master, he will have to waste his time thinking about it."
Pan Jinlian used the word "enemy" to refer to Baihualou for the first time in his words. He obviously regarded Baihualou as an enemy.
"What about Baihualou's share?" Jia asked Pan Jinlian carefully what he meant.
"Until the true intention is revealed, everything will continue as usual." Pan Jinlian said without thinking, "It's not us who are worried now, but the enemy. The Yinu family sees that their monkey butts will be exposed soon."
Pan Jinlian's view was correct. In the mysterious courtyard of Baihua Building, Sang Sanniang was reporting the current situation to Cai You. It could be heard from her tone that she was already very anxious.
Cai You had just returned from confinement, and the paint on his face had not yet been washed off.
After hearing the number reported by Sang Sanniang, Cai You only asked one question.
"Are there any guests who come to Baihua Building now who take the initiative to order Jingyangchun?"
"No." Sang Sanniang responded quickly: "The last guest who took the initiative to order Jing Yangchun was Zhou Meicheng, and that was only two days ago."
The Zhou Meicheng in Sang Sanniang's mouth is Zhou Bangyan.
Cai You laughed dumbly: "That bad old man still remembers Jing Yangchun? That's all... Since Jing Yangchun has gradually faded out of the market, it's time for us to take action."
"Are we finally going to the next step?" Sang Sanniang seemed a little excited. After all, as time went by, the pressure brought by the acquisition of Jing Yangchun was increasing, which almost made her breathless.
Five Baihualou branches were mortgaged, which made her heartbroken; if Cai You's plan failed, she would have to wave goodbye to these five branches in less than two months.
"Yes...why not?" Cai You dipped his handkerchief in water and carefully wiped off the paint on his face: "Starting from tomorrow, it will be fully rolled out. I want to see Chuixue Tower and Jingyang Chunneng.
How many days can you hold on?"
Sang Sanniang nodded lightly, reached out to take the handkerchief, and wiped it for Cai You: "The master's plan is foolproof, how much power can Chuixuelou mobilize?"
"What a pity." Cai You suddenly sighed: "That guy Ximen Qing is still fighting against Tian Hu. Otherwise, it would be even more beautiful to win."
"Although Ximen Qing is not here." Sang Sanniang reminded carefully: "There is the shadow of the Imperial City Secretary behind Chuixue Tower, so we must be on guard."
Cai You chuckled and said, "Imperial City Secretary? That's just an empty post! If the officials hadn't asked King Jia to be the one to promote the Imperial City Department, it would have fallen apart a long time ago. Those black-clothed police officers who only know how to sneak around and steal dogs, and
What can be done? Kill someone to gather some information, maybe they can do it, but for this kind of business... maybe it's not as good as your Sang Sanniang."
Cai You's last words seemed to pluck Sang Sanniang's heartstrings, making her feel a rare sweetness, especially when Cai You put his hands deep into her little clothes and kneaded the two balls gently, Sang Sanniang felt
Sanniang was overwhelmed by the sudden happiness.
That night, Cai You was in high spirits, and it wasn't until the middle of the night that he rolled off Sang Sanniang's body, and his hands were already close to Sang Sanniang's hot body.
Although she understood that this was Cai You's "reward" to her, Sang Sanniang still tried her best to cater to her. After all, such opportunities were rare. The last time Cai You "rewarded" her in this way, Baihualou was in Sang San's house.
Thanks to my mother's efforts, it opened in every state and government at an extremely fast speed.
The second day.
People who had gradually forgotten about Jingyangchun suddenly discovered that almost all the main stores, brothels, and Goulanwashes began to vigorously launch a new wine.
Baihua brew.
The wine brewing master of Baihualou works hard and carefully brews the wine exclusively.
Some people were surprised to find that the taste of Baihua Brew was not as good as the previous Jingyangchun. Not only that, even the price was exactly the same as the Jingyangchun sold by Chuixuelou.
Moreover, Baihua Nong has the same attractive transparent color as Jingyangchun.
At the same time, Baihualou held an unprecedented wine tasting conference. Most of Bianliang's well-known literati and poets attended, and the wine they tasted was of course the newly launched Baihua Niang.
Soon, the term Baihua Nong was on people's lips, and this newly released fine wine was discussed after tea and dinner.
The overwhelming news soon spread to Chuixuelou.
"Baihua Brewing?" Pan Jinlian realized almost immediately that this was the real back-up man of the enemy Baihualou.
The impact of this blow was beyond her imagination.
Soon, a small jar of Baihua Brew was placed in front of Pan Jinlian. It was bought by someone from another official store.
"Go and call Mr. Jiang and Dr. An."
Baihualou's sudden release of Baihua Niang seemed to be sudden, but in fact it had been brewing for a long time. After opening the wine jar, a familiar yet unfamiliar aroma of wine floated out, making Pan Jinlian feel confused.
Jiang Jing and An Daoquan arrived almost at the same time. As soon as they entered, their eyes turned to the jar of wine on the table.
The aroma of wine also attracted them.
Pan Jinlian ordered someone to fetch the wine glasses, relaxed her arms, poured two glasses of wine herself, and pushed them in front of Jiang Jing and An Daofan respectively.
"You two, I suspect that this Baihua Brewing is made with Jingyangchun." Pan Jinlian said with worry: "But now you two are the most qualified to judge, please judge."
The divine fortune teller Jiang Jing picked up the wine glass first and drank it all in one gulp.
"Good wine...is not as good as Jing Yangchun." Jiang Jing smacked his mouth, seeming to be thinking about something: "The taste of wine is indeed similar to Jing Yangchun, but whether it was made by Jing Yangchun, Jiang
It’s hard to say.”
The divine fortune teller Jiang Jing had tasted all the best wines in the world, but he was the wine worm among wine worms. Even he couldn't be sure. Pan Jinlian was a little disappointed and turned her attention to An Daoquan.
An Daoquan smiled slightly, not even intending to raise the glass, but moved his nose slightly, and immediately returned the cup of Baihua Brew to Pan Jinlian.
"What does the miracle doctor think?" Pan Jinlian saw that An Dao didn't touch his lips with the wine, so he pushed back the cup of Baihua Brew. For a moment, he didn't know whether he was disappointed or surprised.
"No need to taste it, this wine is Jingyangchun."
An Daoquan was very sure: "It's just that a few spices were added to it, which changed the taste of the wine, especially the addition of a lot of winter wine."
"Winter brew?" Pan Jinlian obviously didn't understand.
Jiang Jing suddenly showed an expression on his face, and explained to Pan Jinlian: "No wonder the wine has a sweet taste. Is this winter brew...it's honey?" Scholar Xiao Su said: "The old recipe for soaking the squid in the bottom of the well"
"Bedside brewing wine in winter means mixing honey into Tusu wine."
