Chapter 1623: Reaction
In the Humble Administrator's Garden, a delicate white-flowered porcelain teacup fell to the floor and shattered, and the entire council hall seemed silent.
Wang Youyin was like a lightning strike, allowing the splashed tea to fall on the leg of his trousers, and one of the slightly hot tea splashed on his white bare feet, and his eyes were still scattered on the chair.
Gu Siding and the others were stunned by this sudden news, and asked the middle-aged man standing in the hall for verification: "You mean...... They brought in another 50,000 loads of raw silk? ”
Raw silk is not only their biggest reliance on the United Money Bank, but also the commodities they have hoarded. If the plan to hoard raw silk is thwarted, not only will they not be able to make the United Money Bank surrender, but they will still suffer serious losses.
"This is true, they are now unloading at the dock, and they have indeed brought in another 50,000 loads of raw silk!" Director Chen met everyone's eyes and responded honestly.
Gu Siding and the others saw that the matter was confirmed, and their eyes became scattered and there was no focus, even if there was a lake scene with infinite spring in front of them, the whole person was like being in the cold snow of the wax moon.
Director Chen licked his dry lips and reported the situation carefully: "Many people in Suzhou City are worried that the new silk will be even less valuable when it goes on the market in May, and the major households have sold raw silk, and now the price of raw silk has plummeted!" ”
"No, they must be slandering, where did they get so much raw silk?" Xu Shaoquan thought for a moment, and said loudly as if he had grabbed the last straw.
When Shi Yongan and the others heard this, their eyes re-bloomed with hope, and they all looked at Director Chen.
Raw silk is to have fertile fields to plant mulberry trees, and it requires a clever woman to carefully raise silkworms, so that silkworms can spin silk and form cocoons, which is not something that can be conjured out of thin air.
It was precisely in this way that a glimmer of hope arose in their hearts, hoping that this was an empty plan by the United Money Bank.
"The raw silk in the north comes from Yangzhou and Songjiang, and the raw silk in the south is not produced in Hangzhou, but is transported from Guangdong. However, the little one continued to inquire and learned that some people said that this was not Guangdong raw silk, but was shipped from Siam! Director Chen understood their mood at this time, and also told the specific situation they had heard.
"Siamese? Siam where Siamese rice is produced? When Gu Siding heard Siam, he asked for verification.
Although he did not have economic and trade contacts with the Nanyang countries, as low-cost rice and grain continued to arrive in Guangdong over the years, he also knew that there was a magical country in Nanyang that produced rice, which made him have some impressions of this country.
Shi Yongan and the others also had some impressions, so they turned their heads to look at Director Chen. Thinking that this country can produce so much high-quality rice, the land there must not be bad, and maybe it can really produce silk.
"Yes, it is the country of Siam that produces Siamese rice! However, some people say that the raw silk was not shipped from Siam, but from Luzon, and this news is not true or false! Lord Chen nodded lightly beforehand, and then replied with uncertainty in his eyes.
It was not easy for him to find out these things, and how could he know the true origin of raw silk. However, this seems to be enough, United Money Bank is not singing empty city plans, but really bringing in a large amount of raw silk.
Shi Yongan and the others saw that there was no miracle in the matter, and when they thought that Siam and Luzon in the South Seas were likely to really produce silk, their eyes suddenly dimmed, and the atmosphere in the conference hall seemed a little depressing.
The truth came out little by little, and they thought that they would be helpless if they controlled the Shengsi United Money Village in Suzhou, but the resource allocation ability shown by others has exceeded their imagination.
If in front of other merchants, they control the raw silk in Suzhou City, it can be said that it is a move to draw wages from the bottom of the kettle, but United Money Village has spread its tentacles to every corner, but it is easy to deploy so much raw silk.
Now that so much raw silk is being put into the production of silk, their plan to hoard raw silk is bankrupt, and hoarding raw silk is a foolish act.
In this way, the situation suddenly deteriorated, and their whole plan was already on the verge of failure.
Gu Siding looked at the silent crowd, but muttered: "This time it's not that we are calculating others, but that we have fallen into the trap of others, and they have already prepared enough raw silk!" ”
Although the United Bank seemed to be passively responding, the United Bank transported the raw silk so quickly, so he had every reason to suspect that the United Bank had already known about their sniper plan this time, so he was prepared accordingly.
In less than half a month, they set up a new silk production line in Suzhou City, and even relied on this production line to solve the silk they needed.
"What do they want to do? Do they want to turn the silk workshops in Suzhou City into their home? Xu Shaoquan believed Gu Siding's judgment and said angrily through gritted teeth.
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the conference hall seemed even more depressing.
In the past, if they heard that someone was going to swallow the entire silk industry in Suzhou Prefecture, they would definitely think that it was a fool's dream. At the very least, this is something that has not happened since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and even Shen Wansan couldn't do it back then.
Just looking at the various actions of the United Money Bank, he first easily transferred a million silver, and then transported a large amount of raw silk, and more importantly, he still held a large order of three million taels of silk in his hand.
With such a large capital, once they really wanted to annex the entire silk workshop in Suzhou City, things did not seem to be as difficult as they imagined.
The most important thing is that as the United Bank shows its amazing strength, their identity with the United Bank seems to have changed, and they do not seem to be hunters in this game, but the prey of others.
Things have reached this point that not only does United Money no longer need to rely on them, but seems to have the ability to replace them and become the largest silk producer in Suzhou.
"It's come to this, they can really solve the silk matter on their own, why don't we make peace with them?" Gu Siding knew that the plan to hoard silk to force the United Money Bank to comply was almost bankrupt, so he seriously proposed.
Shi Yongan and the others moved slightly in their hearts, and they all turned their heads to look at Wang Youyin.
Speaking from the heart, they have been working very happily with United Bank, and they have also made a lot of money through the purchase orders of United Bank over the years. If they hadn't been blinded by lard this time and wanted to follow Wang Youyin for greater profits, they would not have embarked on the road of tearing up their faces with United Money.
Now, the United Money Bank is far more powerful than they imagined, and they are not as important as they imagined, so they immediately came up with the idea of returning to their former comfortable life.
