Jiang Chenhuo said anxiously: "When I went back in the afternoon, I saw Uncle Jiang arguing with a few paper merchants who had been supplying us for a long time, and they didn't know where they heard the news, knowing that we were going to purchase paper on a large scale, and jointly raised the price. He also said that he would either pay 30 yuan and 10 square feet, or he would rather breach the contract and pay us a sum of money than do our business. ”

"Holy! There is no such starting price for sitting on the ground. Damn, there must be an inner ghost! Quick, take me back! ”

Zong Xiu hurriedly got into the carriage and asked Jiang Chen to drive all the way and go straight to Jiangjia Village.

Zong Xiu is really in a hurry.

When he originally printed newspapers, in order to save trouble, he bought the paper from the big paper dealers.

It's not a good paper, it's all rough and inferior paper, and the price is ten square feet, that is, more than one square meter of three dollars.

Fortunately, he was planning to print the Zhenguan Dictionary on a large scale, and the long-term paper merchants joined forces to raise the price tenfold. At this price, let alone printing 5 million copies of the 'dictionary', even if 1 million copies were printed, he would vomit blood.

Night has come, Zong Xiu anxiously sat in the carriage and rushed to Jiangjia Village, passing by the door of the house and seeing the lanterns lit, he didn't bother to go in and say hello to Yi Qianqing.

As soon as I arrived in Jiangjia Village, I saw that the printing house was brightly lit, and a bunch of guys gathered at the gate.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, the president is here."

Jiang Chen directly parked the carriage at the gate of the printing house and shouted loudly to drive away the crowd of onlookers.

"The president is here, let the president in."

"President."

"President."

"President ......"

When the onlookers saw Zong Xiu coming, they greeted him and took the initiative to get out of the way for Zong Xiu to enter.

Zong Xiu walked in with a cold face, and before anyone entered the door, he heard a fierce quarrel.

"Say thirty words! That's thirty texts! Today, even if you say that the sky is broken, the price will not change. ”

"But we have signed a contract, a manly man, spitting is a nail, how can you say that you can change."

"Why can't it be changed? As soon as the recruitment notice came out, our men were all shouting for a monthly increase, and even more so they packed up and came to you overnight to find a job, and the artificial price was high, and the price would naturally rise. ”

"Exactly? Will your business get hotter and hotter? More and more paper is being purchased, and we are also asking the guys to work overtime? Now you're making a lot of money? Always leave us a cup of soup to drink. Thirty Wen is still based on our old acquaintance, otherwise Three Hundred Wen will not sell you. ”

In the Lobby? Several businessmen who have been supplying paper for a long time slapped the table and shouted, while Jiang Lian, who was in charge of printing management, was laughing in various ways.

Zong Xiu couldn't help but be furious: "Hehe? What a big breath? 300 wen is not for sale? I want to see who gave you the courage to sit on the ground and raise the price before the officials. ”

"President, are you back?"

Jiang Jian saw Zong Xiu coming in and hurriedly got up.

Those paper merchants saw that the main owner was coming? Are you not afraid? They all shouted.

"Sect President, we know that your hands and eyes are all over the sky, but this is a business transaction, and it is about your love and my willingness, and now we have given the price? If you don't like it, it's a big deal to lose your money? We don't supply the goods anymore. Even if this matter is caused by Jingzhao Mansion, the truth is on our side. ”

"That's it! When we first talked about buying and selling? We didn't promise to keep supplying you with paper. Do you still want to use power to force each other? ”

"In business, we will ask for 30 wen today? Can you give a word of approval? Can we talk about continuing to cooperate in the future? We can't talk about it and just turn around and leave, so as not to talk in vain. ”

Jiang Jian saw that Zong Xiu's face was gloomy, lest Zong Xiu would say anything cruel and offend a few big paper merchants to death, so he persuaded in a low voice: "President, why don't you avoid it first, and let the old man talk to them again." At the beginning, you handed over the printing house to the old man, but now there is a mess, and it is naturally the responsibility of the old man. ”

Zong Xiu pointed to those paper merchants who were villains, and said angrily: "Deputy Hall Master Jiang, look at their faces for yourself, is it necessary to negotiate this deal?" ”

"But ......"

Jiang Jian wanted to say more, but Zong Xiu had already shouted: "Shut up!" Remember to me, we won't cause trouble in the world, but we're not afraid of it! They dare to sit on the ground and raise the price, which is a slap in the face of our world. Mo said that the price was thirty wen, even if they were looking for thirty wen now, there was no need to continue this transaction. ”

"Ah......h

Jiang Jian was shocked.

Several paper merchants were even more angry: "Sect President, you said this. ”

"That's what I said!"

Zong Xiu's face was cold, and he dragged Jiang Lian, who was still sighing.

"Calculate how much they should lose, write a note to them, and ask them to send the money for the breach tomorrow."

As soon as these words came out, several paper merchants were shocked.

"Zong Xiu, do you know what you said."

"That is, your "Chang'an Weekly" depends on us for supply, and without paper, what are you selling?"

"Sect President, do you really want to lose both?"

These big paper dealers who have been supplying Zong Xiu for a long time also heard the news and knew that Zong Xiu would buy a large amount of paper recently, so they discussed the price together, so as to take the opportunity to make a profit.

Originally, they just wanted to take advantage of the fire, but they never thought of breaking the deal. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been grinding with Jiang Jian for a long time.

It's good now, Zong Xiu came up and said that he didn't cooperate, and he wanted them to lose money, how could this be?

After all, when the deed was signed, in order to show sincerity, Zong Xiu signed a ten-year contract in one go, and they also recognized the liquidated damages system - during the cooperation, whoever violates the contract first will compensate the other party a large amount of liquidated damages.

Sitting on the ground and starting the price, the contract has been violated, and the liquidated damages cannot be run.

However, they did not mean to breach the contract!

Several big paper merchants were anxious, and they were worried that Zong Xiu was lying, so they didn't dare to give in easily, so they could only be anxious.

Since the appearance of the printing house, Jiang Jian has always been the principal of the printing house, and he also knows that the printing house is inseparable from paper, but he is afraid that Zong Xiu will say angry words and really mess up the business.

"President, do you want to stop thinking about it? After all, everyone has been cooperating for so long, and it is ...... that buying and selling cannot be benevolent."

"Benevolence and righteousness! When they sit on the ground and raise prices, do they have more than half of righteousness? ”

The more Zong Xiu thought about it, the more angry he became, he turned his head and left, saying as he walked: "Don't say that this official bullied you, it was clearly written in black and white on the earlier contract, and now you take the initiative to breach the contract, how much should you pay and send it to me tomorrow, if you dare to have one less, this official will make you better than dead." ”

"President ......"

"Sect President ......"

"Zong ......"

Seeing that Zong Xiu really said that he would leave, there was no meaning of turning around in his words, several big paper merchants panicked, raised their legs and were about to chase, but before they could chase out, they were blocked by a horizontal knife.

"Stop!"

Jiang Chen held the knife and blocked the door.

"Morning Baby......

Jiang Jian walked over and pulled Jiang Chen's arm, he was afraid that things would get stiffer and stiffer.

Jiang Chen was unmoved, and said murderously: "What the president said is very clear, we don't want their paper!" ”

"I ......"

"We ......"

A few paper merchants, you look at me, I look at you, and finally helplessly watched Zong Xiu's back go farther and farther away, until it disappeared into the dark night.

It's over, stealing chickens doesn't make rice, I don't get the money, and I have to spit out all the original food, which is a big loss......

"Deputy Hall Master Jiang, this matter ......"

A chubby paper merchant looked at Jiang Lian in embarrassment.

Several others relented.

"Uncle Jiang, you are old and virtuous, and you can see far away. It must also be clear that your business here is inseparable from paper, even if you change the seller now, you won't be able to get so much paper for a while, or you go and talk to the sect president, just say that there is still something to talk about? ”

"Just a few of us made a mistake, please talk about it when you get old, as long as we can continue to cooperate, we ...... We will also come at the original price and give you another batch of paper for free. ”

"Yes, yes, it was because we made a mistake and listened to the slanderous rumors of the villain, which made us greedy and had crooked thoughts. Please ask you to talk to the sect president about good things, that's 100,000 taels of silver, and if you really can't cooperate, even if the sect president strips us of us, you can't take it out. ”

Several paper merchants saw that they were going to lose money, as if they had learned to change their faces, and they surrounded Jiang Jian flatteringly, without the arrogance they had earlier.

Jiang Chen said disdainfully: "I knew this was the case, why bother in the first place!" It's called self-inflicted! ”

Jiang Jian was worried about the business in his heart, and glared at Jiang Chen: "That's it, after all, it's about my own business, I'll try it." ”

In the compliments of several paper merchants who were grateful to Dade, Jiang Jian pulled Jiang Chen, who was still holding a knife to block the road, and said: "It's not easy to walk at night, morning baby, you and I will go to the president's house." ”

In the small courtyard of Qujiang, Zong Xiu knocked on the door depressedly, and saw that Yi Qingqing opened the door alone, and asked casually, "What about the little guy?" ”

"Childe, the golden tiger is sleeping. I don't know how to drop, after you left at night, today during the day it moved when eating, and the rest of the time it slept in the nest, is it sick? ”
