Five hundred and seventy-six chapters of the new owner (seeking the moon)
It has to be said that Li You's age is too confusing. If he is not equipped with a fifth-grade official robe and a black gauze hat, anyone who sees him for the first time will only think that this person is a young master from a wealthy family, or not.
The so-called aura of official power has become youthful and vigorous. Looking back, maybe many people have been defeated by this involuntary contempt.
Manager Wang, who came from the north of Beijing, was no exception. Just as he was preparing to block the price-lowering attack by Gao, the shopkeeper of Taisheng Coal Shop, he suddenly saw the young man in his early twenties jumping out next to him, speaking so arrogantly.
That's all, and he was so rude that he almost poked his finger on his nose, feeling suddenly annoyed.
He turned to Shopkeeper Gao with displeasure and said, "Shopkeeper Gao, is this your store's way of hospitality?"
Shopkeeper Gao also felt very humiliated, but he had nothing to say. He couldn't blame his boss, so he could only look up at Li You. Isn't this boss accustomed to being an official and unable to speak normally? Now is the time to talk.
Buying and selling is not about interrogating prisoners. What's the use of acting like a big boss and showing off your ruthlessness?
Manager Wang observed his words and guessed that the young man must be the young owner of this coal shop, otherwise why shopkeeper Gao could only pretend to be deaf and dumb. He relied on his old man to sneer at Li You and said: "Young man, if you don't know how to speak, learn more, here.
This is not your place to show off."
Li You also sneered a few times: "I changed my mind. Every hundred kilograms of coal is one tael and nine cents. If you want to keep it, that's the price. If you don't keep it, get out!"
Manager Wang couldn't help but take pictures of the case, "That's ridiculous! You little brother clearly shows your position!"
Li You didn't accept what Manager Wang said. He looked at the sky and said, "Now one, two, eight, cents."
Manager Wang said to Shopkeeper Gao again: "Is this the rule of your store? I have been working here for many years, but this is unheard of!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Li You's small but hateful voice: "One, two or seven dollars."
Manager Wang stood up and scolded Li You: "This is unreasonable! We traveled seventy or eighty miles to do this business sincerely, but you are messing around!"
Li You continued to look at the sky and said calmly: "One, two or six dollars."
Manager Wang was supposed to be a sophisticated man. At this moment, he was almost furious at Li You's attitude. It's obvious that you are in urgent need of coal, so why are you acting like a boss? He raised his hand angrily and said, "There's really nothing to talk about. I'm sorry.
Say goodbye!"
"One or two or five dollars." Li You didn't care and didn't say anything to persuade him to stay. He casually offered another lower price. He looked at Manager Wang with a mocking look in his eyes, as if he dared to continue to lower the price if the other party dared to continue to be dissatisfied.
Manager Wang finally couldn't bear it anymore, threw up his sleeves and walked out angrily. Shopkeeper Gao looked at the coal that he had almost touched with a sad face and flew away. He sighed and said to Li You with a faint complaint: "My boss, this is
Why bother."
It was clearly agreed before that it was two liang, but now when it comes to the transaction, it has been changed to three liang... Li You does have an arrogant and domineering side in his temperament. How can someone who is used to big shots tolerate a little ant like Manager Wang jumping up and down in front of him?
Go back on your word?
Li You guessed that Manager Wang must have seen the clue somewhere and knew that Taisheng Coal Shop was in difficulty, so he had the courage to threaten and raise the price.
As a big-time figure, Li You really finds it ridiculous. If he is easily coerced like this, he is as groveling as Shopkeeper Gao. If word spreads, his friends will laugh him to death, and how will he be able to hang out in the capital in the future?
His face is very precious. It cannot be compared with a few taels of silver. He would rather not do this business than lose this face.
From this point of view, Shopkeeper Gao's judgment was actually correct. Li You, a man who was accustomed to being intimidating, was not suitable to run the business himself.
The above is one of the reasons, but the other reason is still the same. For this business, Li You's political account was bigger than the economic account. His main purpose was to use a large amount of cheap coal to stir up the market and stimulate reactions from all parties.
To achieve the purpose of taking advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble.
Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to buy it for three taels of silver and then sell it at a high price. This is tantamount to collaborating with profiteers. What good does it do to him?
He had never thought about this business before. If Qian Guojiu hadn't been involved, he wouldn't have been tempted. Since it couldn't be done, forget it. Just wait for the natural fermentation of people's emotions. After a few days of snow,
It is estimated that the price of coal has reached its peak, and it is also the peak period of large-scale consumption of fuel. It is easy to cause trouble at that time.
Although Li You had his own complete considerations, he couldn't explain it in detail when facing Shopkeeper Gao's resentful eyes. There was such a big difference between people's levels, and it was difficult to communicate some truths. Shopkeeper Gao might be a good shopkeeper.
But I’m afraid I’ll never be able to keep up with what I think.
Okay, this store now belongs to Li You, and it’s Li You’s business to mess with it as much as he likes. But when shopkeeper Gao was negotiating, Li You unceremoniously intervened, which made shopkeeper Gao feel that his self-esteem was greatly affected.
Hugely hurt and aggrieved, I can only express my feelings with resentful eyes.
Fortunately, shopkeeper Gao has a good temper. If he were replaced by a big shopkeeper with a fierce temper, he would probably fall out and leave on the spot if he said, "If you don't keep me here, I will keep you."
Li You suddenly felt that he was out of line. After all, this shop is inseparable from the management of a senior shopkeeper who is familiar with the situation. The role of professional managers cannot be underestimated, and judging from the temperament of this senior shopkeeper, they can get along with each other for a long time.
Thinking of this, he comforted him and said: "Mr. Gao, please don't worry, this shop will eventually come back to life. I can't guarantee anything else. It's no problem to let my friends have enough food and clothing."
To Shopkeeper Gao's ears, Li You's words had nothing to say, it was just an attitude. But in fact, if you have an attitude, you will have food. In terms of attitude, what owner doesn't want to make money?
Seeing that shopkeeper Gao was listless, Li You smiled and said mysteriously: "Believe it or not, Manager Wang will come back."
Shopkeeper Gao raised his head and asked in confusion: "Why is this?"
"Do you think that Yang Yuanwai doesn't want to sell coal? The coal in the north is supplied to the frontier army and for smelting and burning bricks. He was excluded for some unknown reason. He has been backlogging this coal for two months, and he is still in a hurry.
Realize.”
That's it. No wonder these hundreds of thousands of kilograms of coal suddenly appeared. Shopkeeper Gao became interested and asked, "Is there such a thing?"
"Why didn't he sell the coal nearby and spend nearly a hundred miles on manpower and animal power to transport it to the capital? That's the reason. According to my guess, Yang Yuanwai might be in the coal truck team. Otherwise, why could Manager Wang be bold and confident to take the first step?
Come here and leave the coal truck behind? Don’t you think that’s weird?”
Shopkeeper Gao was thoughtful, and it was indeed strange. He hadn't thought of this just now! Putting himself in his shoes, if he were personally escorting a large amount of goods on the road, he would definitely not dare to leave the convoy and run around casually.
At this time, a waiter shouted outside the door: "My boss! The boss! The coal truck has arrived, and Manager Wang is back!"
Li You and Shopkeeper Gao looked at each other. One of them was smart and shrewd, and the other was experienced in the business. They immediately thought of something. It seemed that Manager Wang had given in...
Shopkeeper Gao was surprised. His admiration for the new boss was like a torrential river. He was truly a god!
This time, Li You asked shopkeeper Gao to go out to greet him and arrange for the unloading. But he himself sat arrogantly on the main seat in the hall drinking tea and did not get up to greet him.
Not long after, I saw Shopkeeper Gao leading two people in. One was Manager Wang, and the other was a man in his thirty-seventies in brocade robes.
Seeing Steward Wang follow closely behind the man in brocade robes, Li You could tell that this man must be Yang Yuanwai, the owner of the coal mine in the north.
Mr. Yang is also a very thoughtful person. Maybe he was the one who instigated the price increase before Manager Wang, Li You thought.
Sure enough, shopkeeper Gao introduced: "This is Mr. Yang."
Li You nodded calmly. He still didn't stand up, but he just raised his hand with great momentum to invite a few people to sit down.
It seemed that the other party was arrogant and rude, but Yang Yuanwai didn't take it seriously. Although he was from the north and did not live in the capital, he knew from Qian Guojiu's letter that this young man must be a powerful person, at least more powerful than Guojiu.
strength, otherwise Uncle Qian Guo would not have pushed this person out.
It can also be seen from his attitude towards Manager Wang that he does not bother to bargain with Manager Wang at all. If he is not a big shot with confidence, he will never do this.
In a word, if you have strength, you will naturally have the ability to be arrogant. Mr. Yang is a typical businessman, so he recognizes this. He spoke first: "Just now, Manager Wang offended Mr. Li. I am very sorry. Please ask Mr. Li
Don’t let people know him the same way.”
Li You was half habitually arrogant and half pretentious, and at the same time he was observing secretly. He found that after he put on a show, the other party didn't show any dissatisfaction at all, and he immediately figured out Yang Yuanwai's thoughts.
"Let's forget about these little things." Li You then changed his subject and said proudly: "It's just that I won't change what I say. The price of coal collection this time was said to be one to two and a half cents, and it is one to two to five cents."
This price was definitely high a month ago, when the coal market price was one or two silver, but it seems low now. Of course, the mine owner still made a profit by selling it to the coal shop, but he just couldn't enjoy the sharp increase in coal prices.
The market has brought benefits.
Mr. Yang hesitated and remained silent. Manager Wang, who was sitting at the bottom, helped his boss and said, "Master Li, your price is a bit inappropriate."
Li You glanced at Manager Wang and re-quoted again: "Now it's one, two or four dollars."
"You..." Manager Wang only said halfway before he shrank his head and stopped talking.
Yang Yuanwai gritted his teeth and said, "Master Li! It's our first time meeting you today. The forty carts of coal that arrived were all sold to you at one tael or four cents per hundred pounds! It's just a friend, a meeting gift, and an apology for Manager Wang!"
But I still have 300,000 to 400,000 kilograms of coal stored there, and when it comes again, it will be traded at the previously agreed price of 20 taels."
There was something in Li You's words: "As long as Mr. Yang no longer has any extravagant thoughts, then of course it will be okay."
Shopkeeper Gao was stunned at the side. How could this boss look like an outsider? He was always showing off and showing off his personality. How could he inexplicably gain the upper hand? In the end, he actually lowered the price to one, two or four cents. In the world of young people,
He doesn't understand. Is he already old?
Forty large carts of coal are counted as 80,000 catties, and each hundred catties is worth one or two and four cents of silver, with a total price of one thousand one hundred and twenty taels. In accordance with industry rules, shopkeeper Gao said to Mr. Yang: "I will pay you part of the coal price first.
The rest will be made up with you after they are sold.”
The payment method proposed by Shopkeeper Gao is a common phenomenon in the coal market. What's more, major coal shops have recently been hoarding coal in large quantities. How can there be enough capital turnover? The mine owners who send the coal are given on credit, and the coal is sold after the coal is sold.
and paid.
But this was different from what the middleman Qian Guojiu had agreed. Yang Yuanwai was dissatisfied: "It was said before that we would deliver the goods in one hand and pay the money in one hand, so why do we need credit? It is precisely because other companies want credit, that's why I sell to you."
, and the price is still as low as one or two or four yuan! If so, how is it any different from others? I might as well sell it to others at a high price!"
Li You saw that the coal trafficking business with Yang Yuanwai was indeed feasible, and wanted to sell the remaining hundreds of thousands of kilograms of coal he had accumulated to become his own weapon to stir up the market. He agreed: "No problem, pay now."
I’ll give it all to you!”
Shopkeeper Gao's face turned bitter when he saw his boss happily agreeing. He invited Li You to the corner of the yard and reported in a low voice: "My boss just took over today, but I don't know anything about it. A few days ago, Consort Lin came to pay dividends, and now the store
I only have more than 300 taels of silver in my account, how can I pay him more than 1,000 taels in one go? Besides, credit sales are normal in the industry. Nowadays, everyone is hoarding coal and money is tight. Who is not like this?"
Faced with the complaint from the shopkeeper, Li Dongjia didn't take it seriously, "How can we be short of money? Ask a guy to go to Huichang Bank on Qipan Street and lend out three thousand taels first, with the lowest interest rate, to prepare for the turnover of the store.
"
Shopkeeper Gao was stunned. This sounded like very amateurish words. Although the boss seems to have a good grasp of people's hearts because of his position as an official, when it comes to business, a layman is a layman. At this time, it is not just for show.
when!
Besides, it has never been easy to get a loan from a bank account bureau or the like. It requires a mortgage and no guarantee, let alone asking a clerk to make a trip and get the money back on the spot.
Just do whatever you want and get the lowest interest rate?
This is impossible! If there is such a good thing, he will first lend himself a few thousand taels to do some private work! But this boss is not easy to mess with. Shopkeeper Gao said cautiously: "It's not easy to get a loan, how can it be like this?"
It’s easy. It’s hard to even find a mortgage due to the current situation of our store. It’s better to find a way to pay for the coal first.”
Li You looked at an old sparrow flying under the eaves, and said calmly: "No problem, I also opened the bank account. Send a boy and my chief attendant to come back with three thousand taels and ask for the banknotes."
Damn it! Shopkeeper Gao almost fell to the ground. If he had known this, he would have been worried about his future for a long time! With a bank backing him for blood transfusion, he is not afraid of the trough. Even if there is no business for the time being, he can still keep the coal shop from collapsing until he has a chance to survive.
Until the connecting flight!
