Chapter 137: Layout (II)
When these businessmen heard that Bai Fengxian, the old man of the Bai family, had a sudden stroke, his mouth and eyes were crooked, and his limbs were not followed, some of them sighed lightly and sighed.
Many of them, such as He Jikuan, the head of the He family, and Tang Zhiyi, the head of the Tang family, also have a friendship with Old Man Bai and have cooperated for many years, but suddenly fell down like this, and a little worry and regret appeared on their faces.
However, more people only have business dealings with the Bai family, and the old man Bai is usually very picky and careful in his calculations, so the friendship with each other stops at cooperation. In the past few years, Mr. Bai has retreated into the background and handed over more business to Bai Susu to take care of, so most people don't care much about Mr. Bai's stroke.
Ding Yuexi continued: "Life is rare for seventy years, and it is already rare for Old Man Bai to live to this age, and the opportunity will be left to the young and younger generations. ”
Everyone nodded yes, their minds were active, they seemed to understand a little, Bai Fengxian suddenly had a stroke today, and the Ding family held a banquet at this time, and launched a blockade of the Bai family's porcelain business, this is the Ding family is going to deal with the Bai family!
Without the old man of the Bai family, the Bai family's connections will be greatly reduced. Because of these years, Bai Shouren, the big house of the Bai family, is disabled at home, paralyzed in the lower limbs, rarely goes out, and his temperament is not good.
Bai Shouyi's father and son in the second room are typical second ancestors, it is okay to lose, but it is difficult to run a family. Sanfang Bai Shouzhi, with limited IQ and developed limbs, only likes to practice some fist and foot kung fu, and is okay for bodyguards to patrol the hospital, but it is not easy to use business brains.
Therefore, in the past ten years, the maintenance of the Bai family's external connections is mainly supported by the old man of the Bai family, and those businessmen who have received the favor of the Bai family and the squires who are attached to the Bai family still maintain a cooperative relationship with the Bai family. The ceramic business is like this, and other businesses such as cloth, restaurants, rice warehouses, and groceries are also involved in the Bai family; In terms of side hustles, the contact between the major families is mostly based on Bai Fengxian's past friendship, supplemented by interests and resources, and the cooperation is not bad.
However, once Bai Feng returns to the West first, or he can't speak and his limbs are gone, then the Bai family's influence in terms of connections and relationships will be greatly reduced.
The Ding family made a move at this time, taking advantage of the fact that the Bai family had no backbone and the relationship network was unstable, and attacked the Bai family with a thunderous attack, this is to defeat the Bai family and annex this giant family!
Shopping malls are like battlefields, it's so cruel! Everyone's hearts sank, and they all had a premonition that the Bai family was about to fall into a crisis, and the situation was not good.
"In this way, there will be no problem with my Liang family, as long as the fine white porcelain of the Ding family is not inferior to that of the Bai family, and the price is low, there is no need to make a profit. After all, we are in business, and we are not the reckless and righteous people of Wagang Mountain, who value love rather than profit! Liang Huaiqing, the head of the Liang family, was the first to express his position, and he seemed to be listening to the commentary of the Sui and Tang Dynasty heroes recently, so he opened his mouth to bring out the Wagang knot as an analogy.
"That's what my Ouyang family means!"
"The Chen family is willing to follow the Ding family to make the business bigger and stronger, and in the future, celadon and white porcelain will be ordered from the Bai family."
After listening to Liang Huaiqing's statement, they all felt that it made sense, since the Bai family building was about to fall, and the trees were scattered, the Ding family took the opportunity to make a quick move, mastered the secret recipe of white porcelain, and was bound to monopolize the source of Jiangzuo ceramics. Now it brings a lot of benefits to their business, and no one will go against the will of the Ding family, after all, after the Ding family porcelain monopolizes the market in the future, they need to rely more on the Ding family, a commercial giant.
"What does Brother He Xian mean?" Ding Yuexi stroked his short beard and looked at He Jikuan with a smile, a little bit of forcing him to take a stand on the spot.
The He family is not a small family in Runzhou City, although it is not as profound as the Nine Great Families, but in the past ten years, it has also gained a lot of money in terms of trade with the Western Regions and going to sea. Ceramics, tea, silk cloth, etc., as the Hejia transportation business items, bought and hoarded at low prices, and then sold at high prices in Fanbang and overseas, earning the difference fee after logistics.
He Jikuan hesitated for a moment and sighed: "If this matter is true, of course the He family will not let go of the benefits, so let's do it, half of the white porcelain business in the future will be purchased from the Ding family, and the remaining half will be returned to the Bai family as a favor, and then it will be reduced year by year." ”
After Ding Yuexi heard this, he nodded slightly, He Jikuan's statement can be regarded as half a foot into the camp of the Ding family, moving closer to the Ding family and bowing his head. Although half of the business is still left for the Bai family, it can be regarded as a matter of love and righteousness!
Ding Yuexi felt that if he imposed it on him again, it would be a matter of forcing people to be ruthless, and it would be a little inappropriate, if the coercion was successful, it would be fine, but if the other party insisted on his own opinion, after spreading it, it would make the Ding family a person, highlighting the ruthlessness and unrighteousness.
"Oh, it's okay, after all, the He family used to receive the most favors from the Bai family, this kind of practice, both benefit and righteousness are accounted for, and it is inconvenient for Ding to force it, but the He family is in a special situation, and other families don't have to care about this friendship, we are businessmen, and everyone cooperated with the Bai family at the beginning, that is because the Ding family does not have white porcelain! Now the Ding family can fire white porcelain of the same quality, naturally whoever gives more profits will choose whoever does it, without damaging morality! When Ding Yuexi said this, he cut off others from following suit.
"It makes sense, in business, without compromising morality!" The head of the Chen family agreed, originally the Chen family had always been close to the Ding family and a third-rate family attached to the Ding family, but at this time, he rushed to the helper who waved the flag and shouted.
Tang Zhiyi hesitated, he also planned to follow the method proposed by the head of the He family, and order a part of the white porcelain from the Ding family and the Bai family, in addition to the friendship with the Bai family, the main thing is that the Ding family has just fired white porcelain, and whether the output and quality can be guaranteed in the future are unknown. Therefore, putting all his eggs in one basket is taboo in business, and investing separately can reduce the risk, so he is not in a hurry to express his position, and plans to make a choice after fooling around.
Ding Yuexi received the expected effect, smiled slightly, and instructed the maid to start serving food and pouring wine, singing and dancing performances, etc., and started the real banquet.
Because of the opening operation of the Ding family, the businessmen and squires present were more flattering and stammering to Ding Yuexi's father and son, and they also praised Ding Ergongzi in various ways, such as "a table of talents", "suave and suave", "talented and learned", "tiger father has no dogs" and other titles, which made Ding Yin flutter for a while.
The banquet lasted for more than an hour, and it was late at night before the banquet was dispersed.
Ding Yin was full of scenery, with a proud look on his face, as if he was still in the praise of the heads of the merchants just now and did not come back to his senses, and said excitedly: "Father, after the Bai family falls, will Bai Susu choose to marry me in order to save the Bai family?" ”
Ding Yuexi was a little drunk, standing in front of the window lattice to sober up, looking at the lake next to the building, the moonlight sprinkled on the surface of the lake reflected the silver light, like a polished mirror, with the night wind blowing, the lake rippled and folded.
After hearing Ding Yin's words, Ding Yuexi glanced sideways at him, and snorted lightly: "Look at your little bit of talent, it was just a family plan to let you pursue her at the beginning, why did you fake it and become obsessed with Bai Susu Nan Nizi?" ”
Ding Yin was drunk, and poured out his heartfelt words: "Dad, Bai Susu is the first beauty in Runzhou City, with a shrewd mind, assertiveness, and strong ability. If you can marry her home and conquer her, it will be much more interesting than those obedient ladies and Qinglou women. ”
Ding Yuexi shook his head, and said with a look of hatred that iron is not steel: "You don't choose the ladies who are sent to the door, you can't choose one at all, you can't catch up, and you are not suitable to be a wife, do you know what you are committing?" ”
Ding Yin was stunned and asked, "What did you commit?" Peach blossoms? ”
"You're a slut!" Ding Yuexi snorted lightly, flicked his sleeves and left the private room, and went downstairs.
