Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Zhao Hao and Tang Youde got on the carriage and prepared to enter the city from Qingliangmen.

    ¡°Sir, at what price should we buy silk?¡±

    In the carriage, Fatty Tang asked with a smirk on his face.

    He could completely imagine what Liu Yuanwai, who had stored more than 100,000 kilograms of raw silk, would be feeling and looking at at this moment.

    "What does the contract say?" Zhao Hao asked back. He was busy taking the exam these days, and he had forgotten these details.

    "September 18th." Fatty Tang knew it by heart.

    "Yes, this is the day I chose specially." Zhao Hao slapped his forehead and said with a sudden smile: "There are still more than twenty days left, what's the hurry?"

    "That's right, why are you so anxious?" Fatty Tang saw the same thing, nodded and said with a smile, "I don't know where the price of silk has fallen after more than twenty days!"

    "Anyway, it's not us who are anxious now." Zhao Hao said with an expression that he wanted to be beaten: "I guess Liu Yuanwai is already looking for us all over the city."

    "That's natural. He couldn't sit still if the price of silk didn't rise before." Tang Youde said with deep understanding: "Aren't you crazy now and looking for us?"

    "I plan to go to Xiaocangshan to escape the summer heat. If he comes looking for you, you can blame it on me."

    Zhao Hao looked at Xiaocang Mountain not far away and said to himself that this is a really good place. It is so close to Qingliangmen and Jiangdong Pier. It is fitting that I build a conference hall here.

    "If he comes to me, just say you don't know. Anyway, I won't show up before the deadline."

    "You all listen to the young master." Tang Youde was naturally elated when he saw that he was about to make another big vote.

    ??~~

    Some are happy and some are sad, some laugh and some cry.

    Two days later, Liu Yuanwai had already smashed everything he could in the Suzhou Guild Hall Waterside Pavilion.

    After the rage, there is endless regret and pain.

    Liu Yuanwai sat slumped on the Taishi chair, staring blankly at the rugged rockery outside the waterside pavilion, wishing he could run into it.

    "I'm so stupid, really. I know clearly that Xu Ge is always behind those people, how can I believe that the price of silk will go up"

    "I'm so stupid, really. I know that boy has no good intentions, how can I agree to lend him a silk in return"

    He muttered to himself, and slapped himself in the face after saying one sentence, causing half of his face to become swollen.

    The men faced all the cold cicadas, stood outside the water pavilion, none of them dared to persuade

    The owner¡¯s losses this time were too heavy.  More than 100,000 kilograms of silk were left in the warehouse and could not be sold. In just a few days, they had already lost 50,000 taels.

    What¡¯s even more frightening is that under the panic, all rationality and gentlemanly agreements no longer exist.  All the chambers of commerce were selling like crazy, but no one was willing to take the offer, and silk prices continued to fall.

    ??If this continues, he will still lose a huge amount of 20,000 to 30,000 taels a day. Even if the owner is worth a million, he will not be able to withstand this drop.

    As for the fact that the owner lent the silk out when the silk price was at its highest, and asked people to return the silk three months later, no one dared to mention it.  This has become a big joke in the Jinling business community!

    Liu Zhengqi, the dignified president of the Suzhou Chamber of Commerce, who is known to be extremely shrewd, was actually fooled so clearly and miserably by a Huizhou boy who was just starting out!

    The so-called "emblems are everywhere in Dongting", Su merchants and Hui merchants are two major business gangs who dislike each other, and the raw silk and silk business have always been controlled by the Dongting merchant gang. Hui merchants will definitely exaggerate this matter if they get the opportunity.  , to prove that Hui merchants are better than Su merchants!

    This will be a devastating blow to Liu Yuanwai¡¯s dream of becoming the next president of the Dongting Merchant Gang.

    After sitting for a long time, Liu Yuanwai gritted his teeth and stood up, holding on to the crescent armrest of the Grand Master's chair, and ordered in a hissing voice: "Get the car ready and go to the main street outside the Drum Tower!"

    The plummeting price of silk is beyond his control. Now he has to do what he can control - let Tang Youde return the silk immediately, or pay back the money!

    ??~~

    Tang Jinan Goods Store.

    When the shopkeeper reported that Liu Yuan was outside asking for a meeting, Fatty Tang was taking stock in the warehouse with his son.

    "Didn't you see that I was busy? Let him wait."

    Fatty Tang said a few words and continued to do his work.

    He had to figure it out quickly and let his son take over as soon as possible so that he could be free to take charge of the stall in Xiaocangshan.

    ¡° But Liu Yuanwai was determined this time and must see Fatty Tang.

    He waited in the store all afternoon. When it got dark, the waiter was about to close, but Liu Yuanwai still didn't leave.

    There was no other way, so Fatty Tang had no choice but to come out to see him.

    The two of them had been playing Tai Chi for several days, and they had no more polite words to say.

    ? ???There are still more than twenty days left, what are you in a hurry for?  "Tang Youde sat down on the main seat and said angrily.

    "What's the hurry?!" Liu Yuanwai jumped up when he heard this and shouted loudly: "More than twenty days later, the price of silk has still fallen to no one knows!"

    "It's no use screaming at me? We businessmen are based on trust and must act in accordance with the contract." Tang Youde covered his ears with a look of disgust.  How can she still look like the little daughter-in-law she looked like when she borrowed the silk?

    "Don't do this!" Liu Yuanwai couldn't care less about his image. He stepped on the official hat chair, pointed his halberd at Fatty Tang and shouted: "You have the nerve to say that you are loyal? You guys were deliberately deceiving people in the first place.  , where is your workshop? Did you buy a loom? Did you hire a worker? "

    "I hired it, bought it, and opened it. It's just not in Nanjing." Tang Youde spread his hands and said shamelessly.

    "Fart!" Liu Yuanwai's forehead veins were pulsing. He rolled up his sleeves and said as if he was about to hit someone: "You can just sell it after you fucking change it!"

    Tang Youde was taller and fatter than Yuan Liu. He had practiced boxing and kicking when he was doing business. When he saw this, he stood up, tucked the hem of his robe into his belt, and said with a cold smile: "I signed a silk loan contract with you. You don't care."  Did I sell it or use it? If you don¡¯t believe me, take out the contract and look at it. There is a word on it that stipulates that I must open a workshop and cannot sell silk?"

    "I don't care, today you either pay back the money or the silk!" Liu Yuan looked like a mad tiger and rushed towards Fatty Tang, shouting: "Otherwise I will fight with you!"

    "Come on, who's afraid of who?" Tang Youde also put on his posture and wanted to practice with Liu Yuanwai.

    Fortunately, the followers on both sides rushed up in time and separated the two hosts, thus avoiding a physical fight.

    At this time, Tang Ji¡¯s guys also rushed up and pushed Liu Yuan and others out of the store.

    "Tang, just wait, I will go to the county to sue you!" Liu Yuanwai was still jumping around and shouting: "You and that bastard, wait for the lawsuit!"

    "Who is afraid of whom?" Tang Youde waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "Close the door!"

    ??~~

    Liu Yuanwai was kicked out of Tangji. He was so angry that he immediately drove straight to Shangyuan County Yamen.

    Although it was already dark at this time, the government office had long been closed.  But Liu Yuanwai, the president of the Suzhou Chamber of Commerce, the vice president of the Dongting Commercial Gang, and the fifth grade member of the donation class, wants to meet the small magistrate of Shangyuan County, so there is no need to check the time.

    At this time, Mr. Zhang, the magistrate of Shangyuan County, was having dinner with his two-room concubine.

    Mr. Zhang is a native of Sichuan Province, Dongguan. He was born in Lao Juren. He worked for more than ten years to become the magistrate of Shangyuan County.  Of course, if there were not direct superiors like Ying Tianfu in the county, as well as a full set of civil and military teams in Nanjing, as well as seven or eight guard posts, more than a dozen military camps, and several noble residences, it would not be his turn to come to Jinling.  Enjoy happiness in this colorful world of the city.

    Zhang Zhixian is already in his sixties. He has been widowed for many years and is unable to renew his marriage.  But after working as a county magistrate in Shangyuan County for two years, he already had two concubines and was talking about a third one. They were all young and beautiful girls from the south of the Yangtze River

    ¡°After all, this is Nanjing City. No matter how many mothers-in-law there are, as long as he, the county magistrate, is willing to accept his idleness, he can still make a lot of money.
