Five hundred and seventy-seven chapters are all in silence (seeking the moon
With the business going like this, only the two masters, Li Daguan and Yang Yuanwai, can settle the accounts. Others, including shopkeeper Gao and manager Wang, are half-understood.
When shopkeeper Gao invited Li You to the corner of the courtyard to discuss the payment issue, Manager Wang and Yuanwai Yang also began to whisper.
Manager Wang and Yuanwai Yang are close friends and have been friends for decades. Although they are boss and employee in name, in reality, they treat each other as brothers. They speak very straightforwardly and are somewhat dissatisfied with Yuanwai Yang's concession:
"You are too cowardly, as if we are begging him to buy coal. Coal is in short supply now, but we have the goods."
Yang Yuanwai sighed: "When you first came here, you raised the price too much, otherwise the matter would not have come to this. You only raised one or two cents of silver, which is quite humane, but suddenly you raised the price from two to two cents as agreed in advance.
If it's three taels, that's too much. No wonder it made that official Li angry."
Manager Wang was unconvinced and said: "I have discovered that they have no coal at all, and they are all counting on our goods to help them. Under this situation, they have to accept whatever price we offer. How can a businessman not take the opportunity to ask for high prices? Is it possible?
Is it wrong if I raise the price to thirty taels?"
Yang Yuanwai often walked around the scene and made many friends. Unlike Manager Wang, who only looked up at the goods and immersed himself in the account books, his vision was so narrow. He patiently advised: "You don't understand, it is easy to settle the accounts of money, but it is easy to settle the accounts of favors."
It's hard to calculate clearly. When doing business, especially with powerful people like them, you have to count not only money, but also favors. If you only focus on a few taels of silver and worry about it, you will definitely lose your head, unless you are strong enough.
Fight against him.
We have been backlogging this coal for two months, and have lost thousands of taels of silver so far. But no one at the nearby military station wants it, so we have no choice but to come to the capital to sell it this time. That is because we found Qian Guo through favors.
Uncle's road. Otherwise, the capital city is deep in water and the coal market is in a delicate period recently. If we casually sell hundreds of thousands of kilograms of coal, I really don't know what trouble it will cause.
Qian Guojiu carried Daguan Li out, and it was obvious that he was not as powerful as Daguan Li. If Daguan Li was angered by us going back on our word and raising the price, then Daguan Li would look for Uncle Qian when he came back. Uncle Qian Guo was found.
No, if they find us again, wouldn’t all our favors be lost?”
Manager Wang muttered: "Whatever a favor is worth, just pay it. Now that coal is in short supply, we can still sell it to other coal shops. After we earn this money, we will not deal with them in the future."
When Yang Yuanwai heard this, he felt a little resentful that steel could not be made into steel. He pulled Manager Wang's sleeve fiercely and said, "If you think like this again, don't come to the capital in the future, otherwise you will only cause trouble! In the capital,
Doing big business is different from other places. You can’t be confident just by having the goods in hand!
We have dug hundreds of thousands of kilograms of coal ourselves in the ravine, but outsiders don’t know it. It’s not a small amount in today’s capital market, and the market price of coal is 20,000 taels. Who knows if someone will be jealous and insist on eating it? If we don’t have the favor
When a powerful eunuch jumps out to take advantage of you, what can you do? Can you guarantee that such a thing will not happen?
Not to mention other things, I have inquired about it. In the name of Ouchi ordering, the Xixin Department issued some vouchers and then stockpiled the coal. If they were interested in our hundreds of thousands of kilograms of coal, they would also stock it with a few vouchers.
What should we do with our coal?
The coal shop can collude with the Xinxing Department to sell at high prices and share the huge profits. But we are not even qualified to enter the market, how can we sell it? Besides, the big shots in the coal market will not be willing to watch us effortlessly follow the trend for no reason.
A big fortune? Didn’t you end up giving others an advantage?
I can conclude that if you sell coal to another coal shop, the Xixin Secretary will come to your door the next day, and the person who sold it to Li Daguan was a favor. At least he will not let the Xixin Secretary use a few blank pieces of paper.
He hoarded our coal with just such a voucher. He must have the strength, otherwise Qian Guojiu would not have approached him. This is where favors are valuable!"
To be honest, Manager Wang often works in the north. He really doesn’t think much about the capital city in the south. Hearing this, he was dumbfounded and said: "Can you still think like this?"
Yang Yuanwei was afraid that this old brother did not understand thoroughly. He continued: "Do you know why Mr. Li deliberately displayed an arrogant and rude attitude? In addition to his confidence, the other reason is to test us! If we are willing
Tolerance means that we understand the rules and principles and can continue to cooperate; if we rely on coal to respect ourselves, it means that we do not understand the rules at all, do not know the depth of the capital, and there is no need to continue to cooperate.
He lowered the price of 80,000 kilograms to one or two yuan, which was a small warning and punishment to us. That's why I said you raised the price too much. If you only raised the price by one or two yuan at the beginning,
Mr. Li Daguan may not care if he is eager for coal, but you are too greedy, more than enough is not enough.
Fortunately, I dealt with it properly. Later, Li Daguan probably understood it, so he was willing to pay all the bills in cash to win over us. This is also rare.
You have to know that every big coal shop has already stocked up an unknown amount of coal, and no one has much cash on hand. What’s more, ours is a large sum of hundreds of thousands of kilograms. Who can buy it all with cash? Even if we sell it.
The price given to others is higher, but we don’t receive much cash, so what can we use to celebrate the New Year?”
He was taught a lot by Yang Yuanwai. All the truths made Steward Wang feel a little dizzy and his brain was not full. He shook his head repeatedly and said: "I don't have the patience to think so much. Anyway, I leave this kind of thing to you. I don't know what to do."
How could Mr. Li be so scheming at such a young age? I was so blind that I thought he was just a playboy who came to the shop to study."
After Li You talked about the payment with shopkeeper Gao, he came over to meet with Yang Yuanwai, "There is no problem with the money and goods, but you also know that there are very few people who give money as happily as we do now, so you should also show some expression. I don't know.
How much coal is there?"
Yang Yuanwai didn't know what Li You wanted to do, so he replied: "There are still about 400,000 kilograms left."
Li You suggested: "Then make a contract and agree that you will sell the remaining 400,000 jins to us at the price of 2 taels. From today on, these coals will belong to our Taisheng Coal Shop. But you will be responsible for transporting them.
, every time a batch of coal is transported, we will pay you the money for a batch of coal, and we will never default! It is expected to snow in a few days, so you must hurry up and deliver at least 50,000 jins per day during these days."
Yang Yuanwai thought about it in his mind and agreed: "Deal!"
He turned around and told Steward Wang, "Excuse me for your hard work, brother. Now hurry up and hurry back. We will continue to rent large trucks to transport coal from tomorrow. We will transport as much as we can rent first." Steward Wang nodded and immediately turned around to find the horses.
Already.
Two copies of the contract were written, signed by the two owners, and it was settled. Shopkeeper Gao saw this and admired the new owner even more. This deal was so domineering!
Obviously there is no inventory in his own store and he is in urgent need of purchasing coal from the coal mine. However, the owner has a arrogant look from the beginning to the end, "I buy your coal because I think highly of you, and you should feel honored." Just like that, Yuanwai Yang
All he had to do was cry and shout to admit his debt, and pay him in cash to move him like that.
Shopkeeper Gao is a little confused. Is the boss a real layman or is it the so-called "big skill is as clumsy as the elephant is invisible"?
Manager Wang left without any trouble, leaving Yuan Yuan and the dozens of drivers driving the carts to stay and rest for the night. There were hundreds of coal shops in the coal market, and it was located outside the city. There was no shortage of space, so there were naturally many coal shops in the surrounding area.
There are many corresponding supporting industries, so the coachmen are arranged to live in the hot Datongpu, just waiting to get up in the morning to eat and drink before setting off for the return journey.
Yang Yuanwai was led into the city for recreation. As Party A's boss, Li Daguan had signed a big deal with Yang Yuanwai, so it was appropriate to show the friendship of the landlord, and shopkeeper Gao accompanied him.
In the evening, the three of them entered the city through Fucheng Gate. This is the boundary of the West City, not far from the newly opened Jiaofang Sixiyuan Hutong less than a month ago. It is the best place for fun and entertainment in the entire west of the city.
Li You only came to Xiyuan Hutong once and was not very familiar with the situation. He just found the way to the courtyard based on his own memory. Last time Zhu Bulang said that this courtyard was excellent, but in comparison, it couldn't be better.
Too bad.
The three of them stepped through the courtyard door and walked a few steps in the vestibule. They had not yet climbed up the steps to enter the lobby. Suddenly, they saw the owner of the courtyard hurriedly appeared from the light in the corridor next to him and trotted towards the three of them.
Shopkeeper Gao had never been to a place like this before, but this was the first time he saw the old bustard reacting so quickly and enthusiastically. He couldn't help but exclaimed: "I've heard about the reputation of my boss before, but seeing it with my own eyes today, it's really well-deserved!"
The old madam rushed straight in front of the three of them and shouted in a tone of voice: "Ouch! Mr. Li Tanhua Li! It's only been a few days, why are you here again!"
Li Tanhua? When Yang Yuanwai heard this name, his heart moved and he looked at Li You hesitantly.
Shopkeeper Gao shouted: "You old bustard, you are so unreasonable! Why can't my boss come?"
The old madam ignored Shopkeeper Gao and continued to shout to Li You: "Mr. Li, the eldest princess of the day has already sent word that you and Consort Lin will be banned from the alley. It's not that our office refuses to entertain you, but we really can't afford to offend Grandma Chitose!
I beg you, Mr. Li, to take pity on me. I cannot afford to lose my life and my family at my old age. It is better to wait for a while and come back to enjoy the glory when the wind is loose. I will definitely not take any money from you, but now is the time when the wind is tight."
"Then there's nothing we can do..." Li Daguan looked at Yuan Yang and said helplessly.
Yang Yuanwai was stunned in shock. There were two reasons why he was stunned.
Firstly, Qian Guojiu sent a letter saying that this person's hands and eyes are astute, even better than his uncle, this is obvious! Although being banned in a entertainment venue sounds like child's play, the person who issued the banning order was the famous eldest princess of the day.
, if you want her to play tricks on you, then you must be qualified to play tricks on her!
Secondly, this Li Daguan is the famous Li Tanhua in the capital? When did people like Li Tanhua start doing business? In the past half day, Yang Yuanwai did not associate the Li Daguan in front of him with the famous Li Tanhua.
Who would have thought it was the same person!
After meeting the famous man and discussing the business, Yang Yuanwai suddenly felt a sense of honor in his heart. Seeing Yang Yuanwai's absent-minded expression by chance, shopkeeper Gao suddenly understood a lot.
No wonder the boss, knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, prefers to go to the tiger mountain. Although he is not arrogant, he does not show off at all... Now Mr. Yang must fulfill the agreement with all his heart.
