Chapter 67: The City
The Qingcheng silk market is prosperous, and the silk merchants have made a lot of money one by one, and the root of this qiē is still the ordinary farmers who work tirelessly and grow mulberry and silkworms.
Without raw silk, there would be no qiē in front of you.
Hu Jiuling has been aware of this since a very early age, and since he took over the Hu family's business, he changed the raw silk contract with the silkworm farmers. According to the previous quarter's market, the demand for this season is estimated, and then a more reasonable price of raw silk is determined. After signing the deed at this price, it cannot be changed until the raw silk comes out, regardless of whether the price is high or low at that time.
The price he set is very fair, and most silkworm farmers can have enough food and clothing at this price. However, the new contract also has a layer of hidden dangers, if the market price is low, the silkworm farmer is of course willing to sell it to the Hu family at the high price on the deed; But on the other hand, if the market price is high, they will definitely not be happy. The Hu family is in business, but it is not a good church, how can they do such a big wrong, so the contract is followed by a clause: if there is a breach of contract, it will be compensated at the current price.
Hu Jiuling was originally to improve the life of silkworm farmers, and the price set over the years was not low, and there were few people who broke the contract. One year, two years, ten years, twenty years, over time, this virtual breach of contract clause has gradually been forgotten by everyone.
However, Hu Jiuling, who personally drafted the contract, never forgot that after knowing Shen Jinshan's small actions that day, instead of stopping him, he ordered Hu Gui to gather his subordinates and shrink away, while he stared at the original draft of the contract in the study, smiling and listening to how he jumped up and down.
It was only Hu Gui who came to report in front, and Shen Jinshan had those actions, but he didn't expect him to come to the door in person early yesterday morning, and he opened his mouth to open with him, and he swallowed seventy percent by himself.
Where did you get the confidence!
It took up the concentration he had cultivated in the ups and downs of the business sea for half his life, so that he could maintain his composure and barely laugh.
At that time, he could hold back his laughter, but he couldn't help it anymore, the corners of his eyes laughed in folds, and his voice was like a bell: "Early yesterday morning, Brother Shen used these raw silk to go to my Hu family to pay tribute this spring and seventy percent of the net profits of Qingcheng Silk Market." In this way, what should the current price of raw silk be? ”
How so?
Shen Jinshan stared at the deed in his hand, and it was clearly written in black and white - if the deed was broken, he would be charged double the silver taels at the current price. Not only did Hu Jiuling have this one in his hand, but he vaguely remembered that on the deed he had read in a hurry, the most inconspicuous line before the end of the painting was also written this sentence.
The current price, the price of raw silk in Qingcheng has not fluctuated much over the years, and he didn't care much about it at all. But he forgot that his previous actions raised the price of raw silk to an unattainable height in a short period of time.
"This ...... How can this be counted? ”
With a smile on his face, Hu Jiuling was not in a hurry, and took out another deed from his sleeve: "The contract signed yesterday for this matter is clearly written in black and white, and Brother Shen has even advanced three percent of the seventy percent in advance. ”
Speaking of this, he looked at Lu Jingyuan: "Master Hou, today's recruitment is not that the little girl Ayao is unwilling to contribute, but that the old man just withdrew a large amount of cash yesterday, which will make the Hu family really empty." ”
One and a half million taels still can't be called? This makes us who only donate 100,000 taels of faces where to go!
There were pieces of gasping sound in Yunlai Building, and after sighing, they couldn't help but admire, the Hu family had already spent such a large sum of silver, and they would resolutely donate 1.5 million taels. Hu Jiuling, who is worthy of being the leader among their Qingcheng businessmen, has always been at the forefront and contributed money and efforts in both desilting and other things, and now he still does not change his true colors in recruiting military salaries.
Some of these businessmen in the building directly followed Hu Jiuling, and the neutral businessmen have always admired his character, so they will naturally stand on his side. As for the main force who sang the opposite tune before, that is, those businessmen who followed Shen Jinshan, he was cheated so much once, this will be angry, and it will be too late to see him unlucky.
Seeing Hu Jiuling come up with evidence, they were the first to speak.
"This year's raw silk hasn't come down yet, so I don't know the price. Fortunately, Master Shen had the foresight to complete the first transaction, which can be regarded as a price. ”
"The raw silk is all in the hands of Master Shen, and it is not up to him to decide how to sell it. The price of this first transaction is only not lower than the price of the future. ”
"It makes sense, one deed sets the price, and the other deed says pay at the current price, which is clear and clear in black and white. In front of Master Hou, Master Shen shouldn't want to repay the debt, right? ”
"I think eighty percent of it is up to you, how much money is in the Shen family's treasury, and we people still don't know? Why don't you get two million for such a loss, if you really have to lose, where will he conjure up this 1.8 million taels of snowflake silver. Just now, the gongs and drums were beaten, and the good news along the street was happy, but when it was time to move the real thing, it wilted, right? ”
The last sentence was said by the businessman closest to Ah Yao, originally he was not wealthy, and he lost half of his family wealth yesterday, and he was made out by Ah Yao again, which will be as hot as a volcanic crater. Facing the "big enemy" Shen Jinshan, he has completely ignored it, and directly exposed the opponent's shortcomings with full firepower.
"Really?" Lu Jingyuan turned around, looking at Shen Jinshan with a terrifying gaze like an eagle falcon.
Shen Jinshan only felt a chill coming to his face, shivered unconsciously, and hurriedly promised: "Don't worry, Lord Hou, the villain said that he would donate 1.8 million taels, and he will never change it." ”
"This is waiting for three orders and five declarations, and the fundraising will not affect the normal operation of Qingcheng Silk City. Businessman, it is your business to use any means to gain profits, and I will not interfere with them. But now that Master Shen owes the Hu family money like this, he wants to be the head of the association and use his power to suppress people? Where are you doing this? ”
How could the little marquis know!
Shen Jinshan's pupils shrank, he really thought so, but now he can't admit it no matter what.
"Master Hou Mingjian, the villain has no such intention."
Under the nervousness, he no longer even called himself "Shen", but a "villain", and at the same time bowed his head and waist, making himself humble.
Hu Jiuling couldn't see his nervousness, and when he stepped forward, his face was full of joy: "Since Brother Shen doesn't have this intention, then in front of Master Hou and so many people today, let's figure it out." ”
After speaking, he took out the last piece of paper from his sleeve, "This is the number that Hu calculated overnight after Brother Shen left yesterday." The conscription of military salaries must be given in cash, and Hu does not rob Hou Ye, this silver, Brother Shen can temporarily use his own shop as collateral. Hu didn't want much, just the printing and dyeing shop in the west of the city, and the silk reeling shop in the south of the city next to my Hu family......"
After talking about four or five shops in a row, Hu Jiuling handed over the list and said with a smile: "That's all for the time being, the specific number and the shop Hu are all written on it, and Brother Shen is invited to look at it." ”
Glance?
What Hu Jiuling wanted, but they were all the most prosperous shops in the Shen family with the best annual income, how could he let them out!
"Brother Hu's appetite is really not small." Shen Jinshan had just committed asthma yesterday, and there will be signs of recidivism.
"It's not as good as Brother Shen." You can use the entire Qingcheng Silk City as a chess game and play everyone present.
"These conditions are too harsh, and Shen can't agree to them."
Hu Jiuling pressed step by step: "Could it be that Brother Shen wants to lose cash?" ”
"This ......"
"Or does Brother Shen want to repay the debt? You just credibly swore ......"
Of course, Shen Jinshan would not slap himself in the face, even if he wanted to fight, he would not dare to be here. Looking at the amount on the white paper, he knew the situation of the Shen family, and after taking out the 1.8 million taels, he would definitely not be able to take out this number again. He doesn't want to take it, is there any way?
He tore at the contract until a crack appeared in the paper, and suddenly he had an idea.
"Yesterday, Shen was confused for a while, so I will make a compensatory to Brother Hu first." With a smile on his face, Shen Jinshan bowed.
Hu Jiuling hurriedly avoided his salute, "Could it be that Brother Shen wants to tear up the contract?" ”
"Look at what Brother Hu said," Shen Jinshan leaned up, "Qingcheng lives on silk, and the price of raw silk is so high, isn't it a cholera market." Shen thought, why don't you adjust it back to the normal price? ”
Isn't this still going to tear up the contract? There was a boo in the Yunlai Building.
Of course Shen Jinshan knows that this is very embarrassing, but which is more important, silver or face? This is not a small amount of money, but a large sum of money that can shake the foundation of the Shen family.
Thinking of this, his attitude was even more solemn: "The order changes every day, and what you say doesn't count, it's all Shen's." But this ...... Isn't it also for Qingcheng Silk Market? Brother Hu has always been lenient, please forgive Shen. ”
Shen Jinshan was right, Hu Jiuling was indeed broad-minded and rarely cared about others. But this doesn't mean that he is a ball of dough, and he doesn't care about it on weekdays, but those little things are not worth his attention. But the Shen family was the culprit who caused Ah Yao so miserable in his previous life, and when he thought of his beloved daughter suffering so much in his previous life, he even had the heart of the person in front of him alive.
He endured it for so many days, and even stood with the wolf cub, not just to make Shen Jinshan fall on his heels. Now seeing the success, every pore of his body is full of excitement, and his whole heart is extremely nervous, how can he drop the chain at a critical time.
"For Qingcheng Silk City?"
Hearing him ask rhetorically, Shen Jinshan nodded hurriedly, and then Hu Jiuling's next sentence completely choked him: "Are you embarrassed to say this?" ”
"Who is it who is taking advantage of the cold spring to disturb the Qingcheng silk market? Oh, yesterday looked favorable, pressing in front of me step by step, looking like a villain. It's only been a day, and when I see that I want to lose money, I am anxious to tear up the deed and restore the original state? The things in the world are only allowed to be beneficial to you Shen, otherwise they all have to be changed. How can this be true? I am considerate of you, so I allow you to use the shop to pay off your debts. Since you don't appreciate it, the cash you took from my Hu family yesterday will also be worth a lot of money when I compensate for it today. ”
Inside the building, Hu Jiuling made a loud noise.
Shen Jinshan was anxious, where did he get so much cash in a short period of time.
"Don't, Brother Hu's subordinates are merciful, I'll sign, I'll sign."
After saying that, he quickly ran to the door with agility that did not match his age, picked up a brush from A-Yao's table, and signed his name like a dragon flying and a phoenix. As if he was afraid that Hu Jiuling would regret it, he also stamped his vermilion handprint.
Now the only thought in his heart is to become the head of the meeting, as long as he can become the shop, the silver and the face, the loss of today, he will be able to get it back in the future!
