Chapter 42: Who is the Real Jewel Emperor?

Li Yan asked, it turned out that Gao Xinshu had come to buy his father's silver workshop. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Lao Li, you have been in this town for decades, and you don't know the strength of our Gao family. Transfer the store to us and be a franchise store of our Gao's jewelry, as soon as the brand is out, the business will be guaranteed several times! As for you, you have a lot of experience in this industry, so you can consider becoming a store manager in this store. ”

Li Yuandong said with a dark face: "This shop is a little old, but it is left by our Li family's ancestors. I don't sell it for any amount of money, not to mention that your boss Gao is so wealthy that he wants to accept my store for 100,000 yuan, you look down on people too much. ”

When Li Yan heard this, he also frowned. 100,000 yuan to take down the entire store? Although the business of the small shop has not been good recently, it is located in the best section of the town after all, and the area is there, this high-tech tree directly pushes the price to half of the market price, which is too ruthless, right?

Gaoxin Shupi said with a smile: "Lao Li, I came to the door today to discuss with you, that is to respect you as a senior in this industry." But with all due respect, you're getting old, and your brains can't keep up with the times. Instead of dying with this store with that old idea, it is better to transfer the store to me and change the way of life. ”

"And to be honest, this store, you have to transfer if you want to, and you have to transfer if you don't want to, it's not your turn to call the shots, hehehe."

Li Yuandong saw that he was sinister and sinister, and couldn't help but say angrily: "Gao Xinshu, what do you mean by this?" ”

Gao Xinshu's eyes showed a hint of gloom. "Lao Li, you received a big order of hundreds of thousands of dollars a few days ago, right? There's a note on the list, right? If you can't deliver the goods on time, you will have to pay three times the penalty damages, right? Hehehe, you don't want to think about it, you are a small broken shop with backward technology, and a wealthy person like Boss Wang wants to marry a daughter, will you look up to the silver jewelry of your broken shop? I'll tell you honestly, the person who introduced you to this order is actually me! ”

"Huh!?" Li Yan and Li Yuandong were both taken aback. "You, what do you mean!?"

"What do you mean? Hum. Gao Xinshu said with a smile: "Lao Li, the price of gold and silver has been rising recently, and the purchase channels of gold and silver raw materials in the entire Zhaocheng are in the hands of our Gao's jewelry. As long as I block your purchase channel, no matter how good your Lao Li craftsmanship is, it will be difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. If the delivery cannot be made on time after the expiration, hehehe, it is not just a matter of losing a storefront, but a matter of losing a million or hundreds of thousands of bankrupt property. ”

"So I'll introduce you to the meaning of this order, you should understand, right? If you're interested, give me the store today, and complete the order, of course, it's no problem! So hello and I'm good, everyone is still good friends! ”

Li Yuandong looked at Gao Xinshu's oily fat face, and he really wanted to slap it.

"Surnamed Gao, you are too insidious and shameless!"

Gao Xinshu said with a smile: "Lao Li, it's useless for you to say anything now. I'll just ask you: Do you sell this store, or do you not sell it? He said as he slowly pulled a contract out of his bag. If you want to sell it, sign it honestly now. How about our brothers. ”

Li Yuandong was so angry that his chest kept rising and falling, and both hands were trembling. "The surname is Gao, you actually use such a despicable and shameless method to set up my store, let me tell you, I, Li Yuandong, will not let you succeed even if I am bankrupt!"

"Yo!" Gao Xinshu smiled pitifully and said, "Lao Li, you are quite backbone." However, the most important thing to be a human being is to be aware of current affairs. If you want to fight with me, I advise you to weigh it carefully. I've heard that your family privately calls you the Emperor of Jewels, so you probably drank too much and took it seriously, right? In this town, when it comes to gold, silver and jewelry, my surname is the emperor, you? It's destined to be a minion, hahaha......"

"You! Get out of here! Li Yuandong was ashamed, angry and angry, and immediately picked up the broom by the door with one hand, and hit Gao Xinshu with a split head and face.

Gao Xinshu hurriedly set up the broom, although he was not hit, but he was disgraced by the dust on the broom. He pointed at Li Yuandong's nose angrily and said, "Okay, Li Yuandong, don't you toast or not, you can't hand over the goods after half a month, you see how I clean you up, hum!" ”

Li Yan copied the broom in his father's hand with one hand, and chased it over like a dog. "me out! Half a month later, our Li family will let you know who is the real jewelry emperor in this town! ”

"Okay," Gao Xinshu glanced at Li Yan gloomily, "You kid has a future!" Half a month later, let's see who knelt down and begged whom! We'll see! ”

After Gao Xinshu left, Li Yuandong sat down with his head in his hands.

"Dad, don't worry about that order. There's always a way. ”

Li Yuandong shook his head and said with a wry smile: "There is no way." Recently, the price of gold and silver has been rising all the way, and their Gao family has obtained the monopoly channel of Zhaocheng gold and silver raw materials, if they don't let go, we can't buy silver even if we have money. ”

In Azure Star, gold, silver and precious metals are widely used and have a very important position in the national economy. The folk wedding and festive customs need gold and silver, investment and collection need gold and silver, some industrial production fields need gold and silver, the financial industry needs gold and silver, and the state needs gold and silver for strategic reserves, but the gold and silver reserves of Azure Star are very limited, so countries around the world have generally adopted methods similar to tobacco monopoly to restrict operations.

Without a franchise, gold and silver jewelry cannot be sold at will in China. This gives some people special power to control the market upstream of raw materials.

Since the Gao family has mastered the gold and silver raw material channels of the entire Gaoyao Town and even the entire Zhaocheng, if they don't let go, Li Yuandong, a small silversmith, really can't get the silver at the market price.

Of course, he can go to other places to buy goods, but first, it is easy to be investigated, and second, the cost must be much higher, and in the end, he will inevitably lose money.

So he thought about it, and he was almost white-headed, and he couldn't think of a way to deal with it.

Li Yan comforted him and said, "Dad, don't worry, there will definitely be a way." ”

Li Yuandong sighed and said, "What else can be done." It's really not good, I'll transfer the store to someone else, in short, I can't be cheap Gao Xinshu, that despicable villain. He looked up at the sign in front of the shop, and there was a complicated look in his eyes. It was a blackened wooden plaque with the words "Lee's Silver Jewelry" written on it in red lacquer.

It is said that it was inscribed by Grandpa Li Yan's grandfather, and it has been almost 200 years now. The most valuable thing of the Li family at present is not the silver jewelry in the store, but this signboard, which can already be regarded as an out-and-out heirloom.

Thinking that the family business handed down by his ancestors was going to be lost in his own hands, Li Yuandong was full of sadness and gloom, and he couldn't even eat, so he locked himself in the workshop behind him.

Li Yan couldn't bear to see his father being tortured, so he took out the silver egg and put it on his father's table.
