Chapter 465: Hua Chi's Problem
In addition, although the area of the third floor is as large as the two floors below, it only accepts one table of guests at a time.
The first floor of the drunken immortal building is a scattered seat, with a total of forty-eight tables, and the second floor is a private room, a total of sixteen rooms.
In addition to the gorgeous decoration, the design of the third floor is also unique, the whole floor is divided into two, half indoors and the other half outdoors.
Standing on the roof of the tallest building in the city, the whole Chengdu has a panoramic view, quite a kind of will be the top of the mountain, a glance at the momentum of the mountains, drinking here, it is a unique flavor.
Taste all the world's delicacies in the house, and drink all the world's good wine outside the house, which is the most talked about place on the third floor of this drunken fairy building.
Today, there was no pick-up on the third floor of the Zuixian Building, and the eldest young master of the Hua family, who had become the richest man in Yizhou without dispute, stood on the rooftop and looked at Liu He, who was surrounded by the crowd, with a smile of relief on the corner of his mouth.
Walking up to the third floor, Liu He looked at the dining table that had been moved outside and smiled knowingly.
Hua Chi, who had been waiting for a long time, greeted him and said with a smile: "I know that Brother Liu is good at this, so I have already arranged it." ”
Liu He has always liked to associate with Hua Chi, because he has an innate insight into businessmen, after a few contacts, he knows what you like to eat, what you like to drink, and most importantly, he can always know what you like to listen to.
Hua Chi knew Liu He's temper very well, and he didn't have too many polite greetings, so he quickly got straight to the point, and drank a few large cups of three immortals first, which was the right thing.
After a few glasses of wine, the two people who hadn't seen each other for many days, the only bit of restraint was gone.
"Your business is quite big, I heard that this place is overcrowded every day, and even the third floor, which is claimed to be able to eat hundreds of taels of silver for a meal, is patronized every day." Liu He leaned on the back of the chair leisurely, crossed Erlang's legs and said.
Hua Chi poured another cup for Liu He, and said with a smile: "Don't tell Brother Liu, although the price on the third floor is not cheap, if you want to eat here, it will have to wait until three months later." ”
Liu He sat up and pretended to say, "Then I don't dare to drink this wine, isn't this delaying Young Master Hua's business." ”
Hua Chi smiled, "Brother Liu, don't worry, today's meal was originally given by Boss Zhang of the Wanxiang cloth shop in the city, saying what to invite...... Who are you going to invite...... Hey, look at my memory, I forgot about it in a blink of an eye, anyway, don't care who you invite, as soon as I heard that you were coming, the boss not only didn't ask me for a deposit, but also paid for the meal. ”
Liu He just smiled, but did not expose Hua Chi's old bottom.
The Hua family has at least two or three hundred businesses in Chengdu. Liu He once heard Qian Zhuan say that Hua Chi is clear about the accounts of each store, and the shopkeeper of each store, even the name of the partner, Hua Chi has never missed it.
With this kind of unforgettable ability, how could he forget the name of the guest that the owner of Wanxiang cloth shop Zhang wanted to invite? It's just that I don't want to cause trouble for both sides.
"I'm afraid it's not good to let people know that I took advantage of others for nothing." Liu He raised his glass and looked at Hua Chi with a playful smile.
Hua Chi raised his glass, drank it all, and said with a heroic face: "Brother, how can people gossip about Brother Liu behind their backs?" I asked someone to send the money back to Boss Zhang at that time. ”
Liu He smiled and poured a glass of wine for Hua Chi, "That's right, I came today to eat your meal, not to eat his Boss Zhang, who made us brothers, and you are so rich." ”
Hua Chi hurriedly clinked glasses with both hands, couldn't stop thanking, took the wine glass, but didn't drink it, sighed, and put the wine glass on the table.
When Liu He saw it, he also put down the wine glass in his hand and said, "Yo, there can still be something in this world that makes Young Master Hua worried." ”
Hua Chi scratched his head, seemingly a little unspeakable.
Liu He saw Hua Chi's thoughts at a glance, stood up, walked to Hua Chi's side, and patted him lightly on the shoulder, "Do you do business, if you make money, you will lose money, no matter what, with the support of your Hua family's wine shop, there will always be a time to earn it back." ”
Hua Chi sighed heavily, "Brother Liu, I won't tell you, if I can't survive this pass, my Hua family's winery probably won't be able to keep it." ”
Liu He frowned when he heard this, "In the entire Chengdu City, which wine shop is your opponent?" What the hell is going on? ”
Hua Chi stood up, walked to the railing, and pointed to a few liquor stores at the end of the street below, "Have you seen those ones?" Since I came to Chengdu, nine out of ten liquor businesses in the city have fallen, and now these few are still supported. A few days ago, a merchant from other places ordered 30,000 jars of wine as soon as he made a move, how could there be a reason not to do such a big business? Without saying a word, I signed the contract, but I never expected that I would be careless for a while, but I fell for someone else's trick. ”
"That merchant from other places, is it a set that those liquor stores have teamed up to give you?" Contacting what Hua Chi said before, Liu He immediately guessed the approximate.
It's just that Liu He doesn't understand it, since the contract has been signed and the deposit has been collected, what loopholes does the other party have to exploit?
After Hua Chi's explanation, Liu He finally figured out what happened.
On the day the contract was signed, the two parties were in this drunken immortal building. Seeing that such a large business was done, Hua Chi was of course in a good mood, and as soon as he was happy, he drank a few more glasses, and Hua Chi didn't think much about the contract that he had read countless times, and signed it directly at the wine table.
But what he didn't expect was that the contract he signed was not the same as the one he had seen many times before. The contents of the two contracts are almost identical, except for one more word.
However, it was this one word that made 30,000 jars of wine turn into 300,000 jars in a blink of an eye.
Although the pretending foreign merchant paid a deposit, he only paid a deposit of 30,000 jars of wine.
The amount of the deposit is completely in accordance with the contract, that is, the price of the raw materials, but at present, only 30,000 jars of wine are collected, but 300,000 jars of wine are handed over to the other party.
The worst thing is that there is a clause in the contract that the delivery is limited to three months, and if the delivery is not made on time, the person will be fined ten times the amount of the full amount.
In other words, if you can't hand over the 300,000 jars of wine after three months, you will have to pay the other party 3 million jars of silver.
One jar of wine is ten taels of silver, and three million jars of wine is thirty million taels of silver, not to mention the Hua family, even the tax silver collected by the entire Han Dynasty in a year does not have this amount.
After hearing this, Liu He asked Hua Chi to take a look at the contract.
