Chapter 68: Buy High and Sell Low
Speaking of which, Zhang Yan has never revealed her identity. Zhu Shaochen planned to ask.
"What do you Zhang family do? I haven't asked you in a long time. Zhu Shaochen asked curiously.
Zhang Yan looked at Zhu Shaochen and them, and found that they were all looking at themselves with expectant eyes.
So Zhang Yan picked up a small fan, which is the kind of small fan that women in this era will take.
She fanned it, but it wasn't hot yet.
She thought for a while and said softly: "When I first arrived in this era, this Zhang family was just an ordinary rich family in Zhuxian Town. Later, at my instigation, my honest father began to run the canal transportation. β
Zhang Yan looked at Zhu Shaochen and found that they were still waiting for his next words, so he continued: "As a result, he made a fortune in less than two years. Because of this, we bought a house and a shop in Kaifeng City, and our family also moved to the city. However, the foundation of our Zhang family is still in Zhuxian Town. β
"So your Zhang family is running freight?" Zhu Shaochen said. "Will freight in this era be any better?"
"It's not easy to walk, and I was very stupid and naΓ―ve. I didn't know there were so many rules on the canal. My father of my age also had several thrilling experiences in those two years. So I've always felt sorry for him. Zhang Yan said with gloomy eyes.
Zhu Shaochen saw that Zhang Yan was a little sad, and hurriedly persuaded: "Isn't this also a blessing in disguise and a rich man?" It's okay! β
"In short, you just need to withstand the pressure and hold on for ten days, then you don't have to worry about it anymore." Zhang Yan looked at Zhu Shaochen and said conclusively.
"Got it!"
When Zhu Shaochen heard Zhang Yan say this, he felt a little bottom in his heart.
It's only going to last ten days, and that should be easy for me.
A few people got together for a while and left in a hurry, after all, the most important problem at present is to let 'Wo Fengyuan' survive these few days. As long as it can survive, the Kaifeng market can open a few more branches, and the Kaifeng market will be decided by Zhu Shaochen and them.
Zhu Shaochen: They returned to 'Wofengyuan'.
found the shopkeeper Wang, Zhu Shaochen gave an order, and asked the shopkeeper Wang to directly arrange everyone who worked in the supermarket to buy at a cheap price from various shops. And then sell it in the supermarket.
The shopkeeper of the king thought that Zhu Shaochen was about to break the jar, and hurriedly stopped it, but after all, the matter of this supermarket is still in charge of His Royal Highness Wang Sun. He could only watch helplessly from the sidelines.
In the next few days, the guys of 'Wo Fengyuan' went to various stores to buy and sell them in large quantities, and then they were discovered, and the shops in the city stopped selling goods to the employees of 'Wo Fengyuan'.
Zhu Shaochen had no choice but to use the internal forces of the palace to procure. In the past five or six days, all stores have begun to target, and if they buy more than a certain amount, they will not give the goods.
In short, Zhu Shaochen has been anxious every day for a while. It can be said that I am entangled in this matter every day.
Because of the frequent purchase of large quantities, people can see that 'Wofengyuan' is purchasing in this way. On the contrary, he deliberately raised the price, and in order to stabilize the price, Zhu Shaochen sold things 'Wo Fengyuan' and lost a lot, and the result was that 'Wo Fengyuan' has lost more than a few hundred taels of silver every day recently.
As an old chief shopkeeper, Shopkeeper Wang was already crying in his heart at this time.
If it is tossed like this for a few months, the palace can lose tens of thousands of taels of silver, and His Royal Highness will not listen to persuasion.
It's just that I blindly bought it in the outside store, and then sold it in 'Wofengyuan'.
Your Highness doesn't know whose evil it is.
Or maybe it's just a frustration.
The shopkeeper Wang couldn't go on like this, so he went to report to Lord Zhou. I hope that Zhou Wang Ye can dissuade Zhu Shaochen.
This day is already the tenth day that Zhang Yan said, but Zhang Yan has no news at all. Two hours are before the unitary time. As soon as the unitary time passed, Zhu Shaochen had to give an order to buy tomorrow's goods. At that time, it is inevitable that you will lose a few hundred taels. When Zhu Shaochen really had a headache, Ni Xi entered the study.
"Your Highness, the prince has an order, let His Highness go to Yin'an Palace to discuss matters." Ni Xi saw Zhu Shaochen in a daze at the desk, and hurriedly came over to report.
Zhu Shaochen thought, how could Prince Zhou, who had never had any plans, call himself well and go to Yin'an Hall to discuss matters? And usually the affairs of the palace are handled by his father. Presumably the matter of 'Wo Fengyuan' has reached the ears of Lord Zhou.
"Alas, woe doesn't go alone! Ni Banban, let's go. β
Zhu Shaochen hurriedly walked with Ni Xi to the palace Yin'an Palace.
The mood is different, I feel that the scenery on both sides is not the same, and in previous years, I always felt that the scenery of this palace was not bad.
In recent days, I have been troubled by the matter of the supply of 'Wofengyuan'. Even the 'beautiful landscape' of this palace felt bleak.
It won't take long to arrive at the Yin'an Palace of King Zhou.
Someone had already reported at the door, and Wei Jixiang, the eunuch in charge of the palace, saw Zhu Shaochen and hurriedly gave Zhu Shaochen a look.
Zhu Shaochen understood that this meant to be careful, and suddenly felt that his dozens of taels of silver were not in vain.
Ni Xi followed on the side, and when he walked into Gonggong Wei's side, he gave him a silver ingot. Father-in-law Wei hurriedly put the silver into his waist.
"Your Highness, be careful." Wei Jixiang said to Zhu Shaochen secretly.
After explaining, he waited with Ni Xi outside. The two were actually the same batch that were released from Shuntianfu to Kaifeng.
It's just that Wei Jixiang climbs fast, and Ni Xi is a new celebrity. The relationship between the two has always been good.
After waiting for the report at the door, Zhu Shaochen slowly walked into the main hall of Yin'an Palace, this was the second time he had come here. It's just that last time I came alone at night, and this time it's really a serious matter.
Entering the main hall, Zhu Shaochen saw that in addition to the prince of Zhou and the prince, Zhu Shaoli and Zhu Shaoren, the shopkeeper Wang and Murong Dart were also there. The most infuriating thing is that Jiang Yuren is also watching from the sidelines.
The men who can speak in this palace are basically listening to this.
Zhu Shaochen remembered that after the last time, Jiang Yuren was removed from the post of chief procurement office of the palace. But I don't know what I did afterwards. Today, I must have followed Zhu Gongyu again.
"I've seen Grandpa Wang, Grandpa Wang is a thousand years old!" Zhu Shaochen stood and bowed.
"Shao Chen, come on. Stand by Grandpa Wang's side. Zhu Suqin's doting on Zhu Shaochen can be seen in this way.
Even Zhu Shaoli didn't have the qualifications to stand by the side of Zhou Wangye, but Zhou Wangye invited Zhu Shaochen to go.
Zhu Shaochen looked at everyone's eyes, thinking that it was better not to stand over. It's just a few small steps forward.
"Grandpa Wang, summon Shao Chen here at this time, I don't know what it is." Zhu Shaochen asked.
Zhu Shaochen was so straightforward, but Zhu Suqin didn't know how to say it. Originally, Zhu Suqin also planned to talk about the closure of the store to Zhu Shaochen after saying a lot of truths.
This will, but it was Zhu Gongyu who spoke first and said, "Shao Chen, I heard that your 'Wo Fengyuan' is about to be unable to open?" He lost a few hundred taels of silver every day. I don't think I can do such a loss-making business! β
Zhu Gongyu must have listened to Jiang Yuren's pout.
However, Zhu Shaochen himself also knew that 'Wo Fengyuan' had been tossing recently, and he did not give an explanation to the high-level officials of the palace.
Naturally, the 'Board of Directors' will be suspicious!
