Chapter 32: The Poison Scheme
Ask for collections, ask for tickets
##
In the Song Dynasty, the literary style was strong, and the artistic atmosphere was also strong, and the people in the market were extremely partial to poetry and songs, although they were peddlers and pawns, they did not have no artistic cells, so when "A Cut Plum" was sung, the audience was silent on and off the stage, and it was fascinated to listen.
There is naturally no shortage of talented men and big ladies and little ladies who came to buy new clothes, and they never expected to hear such wonderful words in this business show.
In a carriage in the southwest corner of the square, a man and a woman sat on it, the man was handsome and the woman was dignified, both listening attentively, with surprised expressions on their faces.
Just look at this man and woman sitting in a gorgeous car pulled by a horse, it seems to stand out, the most lacking in this dynasty is the horse, most of the normal travel ox cart, donkey cart mule cart, even in Luzhou City is rarely seen in the figure of the carriage, even if there is, the horse pulling the carriage is also an inferior horse with short stature and obscure fur, like the tall horse used in this carriage, extremely rare.
"Shaoqing, how does this poem compare to you?" After the stage ended, the woman in the car asked.
There is no way to eliminate this situation, so I frowned and put it on my heart. Wonderful and incoherent, but simple and unpretentious straight into the hearts of the people, this poem except for Uncle Yan Tong's 'falling flowers are independent, micro swifts fly double flying' can compete with it, no one is outstanding, I might as well be. The young man said.
The woman covered her mouth and said with a smile: "It's rare for you to be so modest, I'm afraid that your second uncle will feel inferior to himself when he hears this poem." ”
The man smiled: "The second uncle is also a talented person, and the sentence of 'red apricot branches in spring' is not something that anyone can chant out, but this word does not win with new strange words, it is better than innocence, nature and unpretentiousness, and it touches people's hearts in plain places, so the second uncle will definitely be ashamed of himself." ”
The woman smiled: "I can't imagine that my family officials are still so modest, aren't you convinced by anyone in Beijing?" My father-in-law often says that you are too impetuous, but I think today is quite quiet. ”
The man laughed, stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around the woman's slender waist and said, "You like to make fun of me, your best friend is also in Luzhou, don't you want to meet her?" ”
The woman smiled: "I have to accompany you to see Li Gongzi before I can go, the affairs of officials are always in the first place, isn't it?" ”
The man smiled, and suddenly raised his forehead and said: "When I was laughing, I forgot who made this poem, this is confusing." ”
The woman glanced at him and said: "The concubine has already written it down for you, and the woman who sang the song said that this new song was written by his son-in-law Su Jin to thank you for your love, and the person who wrote the lyrics seems to be the owner of this Su Ji." ”
The man muttered: "It's really unreasonable for a son of a businessman to make such a good word, let's go to Brother Zhaoting, there is such a talented man hidden in Luzhou City, is he blind?" I still get some poetry clubs every day, and I don't see a song sent to me that can surpass this one. ”
The woman listened to his nonsense, and did not refute it, and said to the coachman on the wheel: "Uncle, let's go, there is a place called Xiaoyaojin to the east, let's get there." ”
The coachman agreed, waved his whip, and drove the carriage along the bluestone avenue all the way east.
Upstairs in Wangjiang, the proprietors of the Luzhou Chamber of Commerce turned a deaf ear to the new words and songs on the color platform, and they were listening to the white and wrinkle-free Huang Dongjia explain his two strategies in detail.
"The so-called plan to confuse the real is to let Su Ji book a large number of clothes, and after Su Ji has finished delivering the goods, we can use inferior silk to imitate his clothes, and then use this as an excuse to encourage the people to go to Su Ji to return the goods, so that Su Ji's reputation will be discredited; If he returns, it means that the clothes sold are made of inferior fabrics, which is suspected of fraud and has caused huge losses; If he does not retreat, it will arouse public anger, and Su Ji's life will be more difficult than losing money. ”
Huang Dongjia's words made everyone here stunned, this plan is both wonderful and poisonous, not only Su Ji, all the merchants here who are not afraid of such a thing, a large number of inferior quality defective goods are required to be returned, and caused the whole city to denounce, in this way, Su Ji's early scenery is actually digging a grave for himself, the higher he climbs, the heavier he falls, and the more clothes he ordered, the worse he will lose.
Everyone was silent, and they were reluctant to be the first to express their position, after all, this trick was a left-handed sidedoor, which was even more despicable than the behavior of sending undercover agents to Su's house to draw salaries ten years ago, so they all felt good, but they didn't want to be the first to say it.
Lang Shaodong's family is young and vigorous, and he is indeed a little breathless, and Tang Dongjia's eyes are staring at him, it is obvious that he wants him to express his position first, Lang Shaodong can't take care of it a lot, first report this thick thigh, and then talk about it, and the strategy is not proposed by himself, he just agrees, and if it is leaked in the future, he will not be the main involved.
"This plan is very good, there is really no need to pay attention to any morality to deal with Su Ji, I will agree." Lang Shaodong was concise and to the point.
When everyone saw that someone had taken the lead, they began to say yes one after another, and their words seemed insincere;
The three presidents of Tang, Liu, and Huang exchanged glances, and the black and thin Liu Dongjia suddenly spoke: "Everyone, do you know what it means to be a bitch and build an archway?" Do you know what the two ends of a snake and a mouse are? ”
When the people knew what he meant, they all bowed their heads and did not answer his words.
Shopkeeper Liu continued: "If you want to bring down Su Ji, you need to use extraordinary means, your behavior just now clearly tells the old man, you just want to get a piece of the pie, but you don't want to bear the infamy; The old man's words just now were a little rude, but I am afraid that the description of your psychology is very appropriate; I advise you that if you want to get a piece of the pie, you need to work together to put your heart to heart, and if any of you are not willing to participate in it, the Chamber of Commerce is not reluctant, please leave on your own. ”
The proprietors were silent, no one wanted to leave this room, and wanted to hug the thighs of the three families to eat mixed rice, and the second was that whoever left at this time said that he would openly break with the three major merchants, and the consequences could be imagined on his knees.
"Since you are not willing to leave, it means that you still have a vision, don't worry, as long as we do this matter carefully, and have a better eye when employing people, it will never leak out, as soon as the Su family falls, you will steal the fun, come and come, drink tea, drink tea, and eat snacks." Liu Dongjia became cordial and warmly greeted everyone with snacks.
There was a sparse sound of drinking, and the atmosphere eased slightly, and a shopkeeper asked, "But I don't know what Huang Weng's second plan is." ”
Huang Dongjia smiled and said, "Bao Dongjia shouldn't have been in Luzhou ten years ago, right?" ”
Bao Dongjia Shi Li said: "Seven years ago, the family moved to Luzhou Mansion, fortunately received by the owners, enjoyed a bite to eat, ten years ago in Zhili's hometown." ”
Huang Dongjia said: "No wonder you want to ask this question, the second strategy was used on Su Jin's father Su Moran ten years ago, so the old man called him a repeater, Su Ji has recently hired a large number of people, so we sent people to mix into Su Ji's shop, not only to grasp Su Ji's internal movements, but also to obtain the patterns of Su Ji's new clothes, that is to say, every time Su Ji launches a piece of clothing, we can follow it as soon as possible, and the Su family will never be able to specialize in beauty." ”
After a pause, Huang Dongjia said: "At the same time, we will send people to purchase cheap silk brocade, and when the time comes, it will be launched at a lower price than Su Ji, so as to seize the market opened by Su Ji, so that his backlog will become moldy in the warehouse, and it is difficult to ensure that he will not follow in the footsteps of his father." ”
Everyone applauded, and Bao Dongjia praised with a tall finger: "Huang Weng is worthy of being an old Jianghu, and the strategy of the business leader is really extraordinary, this belongs to the category of commercial competition, and no one dares to gossip." ”
Huang Dongjia laughed at himself: "Old rivers and lakes? I'm afraid that the older the rivers and lakes are, the less courageous they are, now you are all high-rise Huayu wives and concubines, and you no longer have the sharpness of your youth, the old man misses the time when he wanted to do it recklessly, not like now. ”
Tang Dongjia said with a smile: "Huang Weng began to sigh again, do you want to use the first or second strategy?" ”
Lang Shaodong's cold voice sounded: "A two-pronged approach, cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, why bother with the benevolence of the woman." ”
The proprietors nodded silently, and Tang Dongjia clapped his hands and said: "Then do it, just give him a two-pronged approach, I will wait for the split up to get ready, and launch it as soon as the time is ripe." ”
At the moment, they muttered details and discussed them endlessly.
……
……
In the evening, Su Jin, who had been busy all day, returned to the house, there were too many things and too many things, Su Jin was busy, he thought that he could live a luxurious and luxurious fairy life with a rich second generation, but he didn't expect that since the crossing, the truly comfortable days add up to less than five or six days, and the rest of the time is poor.
"Is it a life of natural toil?" Su Jin sighed secretly, thinking that there were so many important things waiting for him to do in the future, Su Jin had an urge to howl.
Xiao Sui'er brought a cup of tea and handed it to Su Jin, Gongzi's frowning brows made her heart slightly entangled, since he served Gongzi, it was really rare to see Su Jin's appearance, he used to ignore everything, and now he is too capable of doing things, and it has only been a few days to offend the prefect of Luzhou City and most of the merchants in the city, which is simply two extremes.
However, her worries only lasted for less than a short time before disappearing, because Su Jin had already praised the tea with a smile on her face, and the fragrance in the room was good.
"It's heartless." Xiao Sui'er muttered, and since she went to do things, Su Jin began to concentrate on studying whether the tables and chairs were mahogany, whether the screens were sandalwood, and whether the calligraphy and paintings were famous, and began to pay attention to the value of these things to future generations.
The most important thing today is that Rou Niang and Huanniang sang their new words, judging from the reactions of the major Qinglou heads on the stage and the people under the stage, they were very successful in selling themselves. And the girls of the Qinglou Song Workshop invited by Su Jin to participate in the performance reacted even more fiercely.
In the Qinglou, "words because of people" is extremely rare, it is rare to see which head brand sings a general song will make this song brand popular, most of the time is a little-known singer suddenly sang a wonderful word, so that everyone is sought after and optimistic, and is among the red cards, this is the so-called "people because of the word".
This time, I didn't expect that the young owner of the Su family who hired him turned out to be a hidden talent, and the building near the water was the first to get the moon, and these singers naturally shouted that Su Jin would write new words for them alone and sing them, which entangled Su Jin enough; In the end, it was Xiao Sui'er who was very powerful, and Xiao Xing's eyes were round, which made Su Jin get out of the way, but Su Jin knew that the troubles in this area would definitely be endless.
These reactions are not what Su Jin wants most, what Su Jin really hopes to achieve is to let people in the cultural circle in Luzhou City know about it, so as to invite him to participate in the "Falling Flowers" Poetry Society and complete his commercial hype in the high-end circle.
Su Jin has even thought about it, if he doesn't achieve the effect he wants after tomorrow, then he will not hesitate to pirate the peerless words of the future generations again, he doesn't believe that the thousands of poems in his stomach are the foundation, and he can't break into the small Luzhou City literary and artistic circle, that's really hell.
