"How is the person we sent, I think the Xiao family is more lively, right?" Li Lin said lazily.

Wu Bo recalled the scene just now, and said with palpitations: "It can't be described as lively, it can be said that it is extremely chaotic, a lot of noise and returns, the Xiao family can't take out much money now, they can't hold on much, plus those who have ulterior motives and fish in troubled waters fanning the flames, now they can't control it, should we do it now, the leaflets can't be distributed." ”

Li Lin took a bite of the fried chicken, and said with satisfaction: "What are you doing with that, they went directly to the last road, many of our means have been saved, they have already cut themselves off, let's drink a cup of tea, eat some melon seeds, and do a good show." ”

The ancestral house of the Xiao family will really be a chicken, a dog jumping, and the people are beginning to panic in their hearts, I don't know who is spreading the news, which makes the whole house panic, Xiao Yun can't care about the reaction of the upper and lower people, as long as there is money, any kind of subordinate can be found, and now the elders of several clans opposite him are about to spray into his mouth.

"As the patriarch, the head of the family, should you give us an explanation, last time you said that you could handle it, now what? Do you have in your head? What is the Kong family, how many dynasties have changed, who dares to take the Kong family what to do, the Kong family opens its mouth, the world will gather storms for several days, since the Tang Dynasty, our Xiao family is simply just a businessman, and an alliance with the Kong family is tantamount to seeking skin with the tiger. ”

Facing the Great Elder's questioning, Xiao Yun also knew how outrageous he was wrong, but he still had the last hope for Kong Youde, he said: "What the Great Elder said is very right, you were also present when this matter was decided, why didn't you object, it shows that you also want to make this money in your hearts, and now it's time to take responsibility, you blame me?" ”

The Great Elder sighed and said: "There is blame for you, the most important thing for us now is how to face the next crisis, our Xiao family is also a big family for hundreds of years, and more critical things than this have also passed, don't complain to each other, work together to get through the difficulties together." ”

Xiao Yun said: "Why don't we wait a little longer, what if the Kong family helps?" Their power in the court is incomparable to our Xiao family, maybe there will be changes and turnarounds, we can swallow this breath, they are used to being proud, and they may not be able to swallow it. ”

The second elder said, "Can't you see clearly at this time? The other party did not use the power of the imperial court and the government at all, who is behind Li Lin, we couldn't be clearer, have you ever thought about it, Xifeng Wine Shop has such a big profit, can a gentleman in the capital be able to eat? I think it was the same person who came out to play for outsiders. ”

The Great Elder immediately made a decision and said: "Take back all the wine that has been added to the water, it is the money that is lost against others, and it is the life that is against that person, we will return to Jinling to give up the market in Kaifeng, notify the other side, and find an opportunity to make a comeback in the future!" ”

A servant ran in and said, "Master of the family, Mr. Kong has arrived." ”

Xiao Yun said: "Invite him in, just like he said something." ”

After Kong Youde came in, he went straight to the point and said: "Master Xiao, our patriarch has informed me to return to Shandong, and this time the matter is no longer able to return to the sky, but we will have the opportunity to cooperate again in the future." ”

Xiao Yun said mockingly: "Kong Gongzi is over with such a fluttering sentence, our Xiao family is betting on life, do you know what your words represent?" It is because we gave up the Xiao family for hundreds of years that our ancestors have laid down, and the Kong family is powerful, but we can't bring it over with such a sentence, right? It is not good for the credibility of the Kong family to spread this matter! ”

Kong Youde said calmly: "This is what you want me to do, how do you want me to explain, our Kong family also took out five million yuan, at least the empty gloves and white wolf thing our Kong family didn't do, we left all those wines to the Xiao family, isn't it enough?" ”

Xiao Yun smiled angrily, and he said: "Wine, Gongzi Kong gave us five million guan, and all those wines will be given to you, okay, our Xiao family doesn't want a drop, three million guan is fine, how about it." ”

Kong Youde said: "Any decision made by the Kong family has been discussed with you, it is inappropriate for the head of the Xiao family to say this, and the remaining wine will be sold out at least so that the Xiao family can recover a little loss, isn't it, our Kong family is also benevolent to your Xiao family." ”

Xiao Yun said: "What a benevolence and righteousness, the Kong family has taken the money, but what about our Xiao family?" Manpower and material resources are not our Xiao family, the Xiao family is on reputation, the face and integrity of your reading family are more important than life, and the reputation of our Xiao family is the same, even more important than our lives, now our Xiao family still has credibility in Bianjing? ”

Kong Youde said: "Then we can't help it, that's all, we have a chance to see you again and say goodbye." ”

Kong Youde, who was riding on a horse, asked the people around him, "Uncle Liang, has the matter been clarified this time?" Who are we losing to? ”

Uncle Liang said: "Check it out, Li Lin is presiding over the affairs of the capital alone, the wine is from Shaanxi, and the rest of the people don't want us to check it, I suspect it has something to do with the above." ”

Kong Youde looked up to the sky and sighed: "Overestimate yourself, underestimate others, you don't lose unjustly, my younger brothers probably can't wait for me to go back now, I can think of their faces." ”

Uncle Liang knows that this is the family, if you want to be the heir, then you have to pay more than others, one wrong step, maybe it is the abyss, comfort words will not play a role, it is better not to say, you want to understand more than anyone's words are useful.

Lao Wu said to Li Lin: "The Xiao family has taken back all the ginseng wine, what should we do next." ”

Li Lin said happily: "Brother Wang, now it's time for you to come out, this move is very important, you are the only one here with a fresh face, so it is most appropriate for you to come forward to talk." ”

Wang Chao said: "What else to talk about, isn't the matter finished?" They failed, and we sell wine well, don't we? ”

Li Lin covered his head and thought about such a big housekeeper that Xiucai was looking for, can this kind of elm head manage such a big mess? Li Lin explained softly: "Brother Wang, do you still have tens of thousands of bottles of wine in the Xiao family's hands that they bought from us?" You forget, water is a problem for them, for us it is a matter of re-steaming, rather than wasting it in their house, it is better for us to pay some money to buy it and sell it again, do you think what I said makes sense? ”

Wang Chao figured it out, and also figured it out, he is not the material for doing business, he told Zifei last time, Zifei didn't listen, this time he went to see him anyway, he had to let Zifei find someone again, he said angrily: "Li Gongzi went to hope that I would talk about it, how much is the price appropriate, and whether there are other requirements." ”

Li Lin said: "After Brother Wang goes, you must make a high-minded appearance, let them think that you are a person from the palace, the price of wine is easy to say, all wine is the same price, ten yuan, no matter ordinary, medium, high, they don't agree, you turn around and leave, you don't have to talk to them much." ”

Wang Chao said: "Then what if they really don't agree." ”

Li Lin said speechlessly: "The Xiao family has guessed a little bit now, they will stop you 100% if you go, and then you will push the price down two more times, so that the play will be a full set." ”

Wang Chao said: "Not to mention the Xiao family's wine, we still have more than 100,000 bottles of stock in the wine cellar, and now the Kaifeng market is basically saturated, and we can't sell those wines for the time being." ”

Li Lin said: "The excess wine is shipped to Luoyang and Jinling, tell the Xiao family, we can cooperate with them, just like the Shi family cooperates with salt and sugar, we provide it, they sell it, but the price is set by ourselves, this is what Xiucai said, I don't know why, don't ask." ”

Wang Chao said: "Then what do they need to pay. ”

"All the shops of the Xiao family in the capital"

When Wang Chao arrived at the Xiao family, the people of the Xiao family were tidying up and preparing for the meeting in Jinling, Wang Chao was invited to sit down in the lobby, Xiao Yun and the Great Elder came forward to greet him, the following conversation was no different from Li Lin's confession, the wine was pressed to a bottle of eight yuan, but Xiao Yun was very surprised when he said that he was cooperating, when Wang Chao made the conditions, he understood why the other party did this, the Bianjing store with every inch of land is indeed very important, he and the Great Elder glanced at each other, and the Great Elder nodded.

Xiao Yun said: "What does agency mean. ”

Wang Chao said: "The wine we produce is sold by you, we do not participate, the price is set by us, and the region is only a city, for example, you are acting as an agent of Xifeng wine in Kaifeng City, then your wine cannot be sold in Luoyang, which means." ”

Xiao Yun said: "You set the price, do we still have a profit at all?" ”

Wang Chao said disdainfully: "Our owner is not that kind of person, we eat meat, at least let you drink soup, this practice has been there before, you have heard of the snow salt and sugar sold by the Shi family in Kaifeng Mansion, have you ever bought it, that is also our owner's business, acting as an agent for the Shi family." ”

Xiao Yun said: "If we cooperate and we sell Xifeng wine in Kaifeng City, then Xifeng wine in other cities will not enter Kaifeng, right?" ”

Wang Chao said: "That's right. ”

Xiao Yun said: "Then why don't you continue to cooperate with the Shi family?" Their strength is not comparable to our small Xiao family. ”

Wang Chao said: "I'll tell you this kind of thing today, if you cooperate in the future, I think the owner will kick you, don't choose the Shi family because the owner doesn't like the Shi family, do you hear clearly?" ”

Xiao Yun lowered his head and said, "I have one last question, you will let the Xiao family act as the agent of that city." ”

Wang Chao said: "Then you are going to Luoyang, because the owner is in Luoyang, you can ask him this question and the price together." ”

Xiao Yun smiled bitterly: "Do we still have a choice for the Xiao family?" ”

Wang Chao laughed and left, and when he went out, he said, "I will send someone to inform you in two days, which of you will go to Luoyang with me to get ready." ”

Li Lin took the deed and said to Lao Wu and Wang Chao: "In the end, I didn't live up to Xiucai's entrustment, and everything has settled." ”
