Chapter Twenty-Eight: Favorite West Lake Boat Person, and Look at the Three or Two Things in the World (1)
It didn't take long to walk along the Baifu to the West Lake, and the carriage was slow, and the two people in the car could say a few more words, "This is Li Gongzi's wife?" ”
"I haven't passed the door yet, and I originally had to wait for the matter in Jiangnan to be settled. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Talented and beautiful, but it is a good match, and when I get married, I will definitely give a big gift." Leng Xuemei looked at the woman opposite, today is the day of the regular meeting of the Hangzhou Cloth Chamber of Commerce, so she went to Baifu early to pick up Li Huai, but she didn't expect the other party to come out with the woman, sober and refined, and Su Xiaoxiao has their own merits.
"Mrs. Leng is polite, as long as the two treat each other sincerely, the wedding is just a ceremony, and there is no need to break the bank." Li Huai smiled and put a hand on Dong Xiaowan's hand, and the two couldn't help but look at each other, both of them smiled.
"Childe can say such things, but he can see that he is moved by his true feelings, Miss Dong is really lucky."
"Since your husband can join the Leng family, I think it's right for the girl, and it's good to think about it." Dong Xiaowan smiled, and a wry smile appeared on the other party's face, "It's okay, it's just a good life." ”
"Now among the cloth shops in Suzhou and Hangzhou, the biggest is the Mu family?" Li Huai diverted the topic, and the woman immediately changed her mood, "Exactly, the Mu family controls more than seventy percent of the cloth in Suzhou and Hangzhou, and people have an absolute advantage in both output and price. In the end, Leng Xuemei's face couldn't help but show a little disgust.
"Since you are the head of the Chamber of Commerce, I don't know what the relationship with the Leng family is?"
Leng Xuemei smiled bitterly, "If the other party is willing to take care of it, why should my Leng family sell most of the equity?" Saying that, she looked at Li Huai on the side, since she knew that the other party was the son of the Li family in Shangjing, she didn't get too involved in the daily work of the cloth workshop, and naturally she was worried about causing the other party's disgust, and she really didn't have the confidence to turn her face with the Li family, and now she can only hope to get more benefits from the other party's hands.
Li Huai smiled, "Since we want to expand production, isn't it easy for us to do it?" ”
"Naturally, as long as the cloth produced in Suzhou and Hangzhou must be approved by the Chamber of Commerce, it was originally afraid of mutual squeezing and malicious competition among peers, but now it has become a means for the Mou family to restrain everyone. Listening to Leng Xuemei's words, Li Huai couldn't help frowning.
The carriage soon arrived at the edge of the West Lake, there are already big ships moored at the lake, businessmen are profitable, but often they also have to be vassals and elegant, boats on the lake, talking about things to naturally have a bit of charm, many people on the shore have come over one after another, are representatives of each family and shopkeepers, greeted each other, the Leng family by outsiders into the matter has been spread out, in fact, the cloth workshop by outsiders to invest money, is not a rare thing, but to the Leng family is so rare to be taken away control, and even less common, The people of the Leng family still maintain a good relationship with each other, which has become an excuse for others to criticize, "Women don't know how to do business and can't keep the family business." "The Leng family humiliated their ancestors, and gave up their ancestral inheritance for the sake of small profits in front of them." What's more, she directly pointed out Leng Xuemei, valued the other party's son-in-law, wanted to change the court, and the Leng family's property was regarded as a dowry or something, the rumors became more and more outrageous and sharp, Leng Xuemei naturally knew, but now even if she justified, it was useless, so she simply brought Li Huai out generously, and took the opportunity of the regular meeting to let everyone see her methods.
"Uncle Uncle, long time no see." Leng Xuemei took Li Huai to greet a few familiar cloth shop owners, and the other party either gave up his hand or turned around and walked away, "It seems that you and I are indeed a little out of place." Li Huai naturally knew that there were various rumors between the two, and now the Leng family had been isolated from the Chamber of Commerce, if he didn't come today, I am afraid it would be difficult to have a chance to come again.
"Mu Gong is here!" The carriage of the Mu family came over in the distance, the old man got down from the car, his face was childish, but he had a bit of momentum, and everyone around him was accompanied by a smile, the old man nodded his head one by one, and his attitude was even more kind, "Isn't this the girl of the Leng family?" Why did you bring your husband with you this time? ”
Everyone listened to the old man's words, first stunned, and then they all snickered, Leng Xuemei's face changed slightly, she snorted a few times, and just wanted to speak, but heard the Mu family's son-in-law speak, "What husband, where is this her son-in-law?" ”
"Oh?" The old man looked at him with a surprised expression, and Li Huai smiled, "I've seen Mu Gong." ”
"Why do you look familiar?" The old man looked at the young people in front of him, and Li Huai gave a junior salute, "You have good eyesight, I followed Shang Lao to the Southern Hall in Shangjing, although I glanced at it in a hurry that day, I didn't expect you to have an impression." ”
"Oh, come to mind, you are the son of the Li family and the owner of Hong Ji." The old man seemed to have an understanding, and a smile appeared on his face, "Sure enough, the young hero, Hong Ji is going to enter Jiangnan, Shang Lao mentioned a few words, I didn't expect it to arrive so soon, the young man has courage, not bad." ”
"Where, it's really reckless, if there is something wrong, please forgive me." Li Huai and the old man gossiped a few words, and the people around him could hear the old man's words, he attached great importance to the other party, and the original snickering turned into a surprised look at the moment, but he didn't expect that the Leng family was really looking for a good backer now, and then looking at the expression on the face of the woman of the Leng family, many people became more and more convinced of the rumors that the Leng family wanted to take refuge in each other.
"Since you're here, let's come together, it's not easy for the girl of the Leng family, you will help more in the future, Xiaohai, you young people will have to move around more in the future, Li Huai has just arrived, you should take care of it more." The old man's words involved the three of them in everything, and the relationship between them was also clear, Leng Xuemei needed Li Huai's help, and Li Huai also needed Mu Xiaohai's care, and the final owner was always their Mu family.
Li Huai looked moved, pulled Dong Xiaowan, followed the old man and got on the boat, Leng Xuemei smiled bitterly, and also walked up, and the rest of the owners and shopkeepers also followed on the boat, half an hour later, the boat had arrived in the middle of the West Lake.
Since it is a regular meeting of the Chamber of Commerce, it is naturally said that some things in the Chamber of Commerce, the output of each family in the next few months has been set to a range, and some adjustments have been made in the price, and then it is to distribute several large orders, and now in the Chinese Dynasty, more than ninety percent of the cloth and silk fabrics are from Suzhou and Hangzhou, the bulk of which is naturally the Mu family, and the rest is shared by each family, because with the guild, there will be no mutual tilting things, but it is not easy to get a larger development.
"Mu Gong, I have just set foot in the cloth business, and I don't understand some things, I wonder if I can talk about them?" Li Huai opened his mouth, several people looked at it, and the old man was also pleasant, "If there is anything you don't understand, just say it." Here are all the seniors in the cloth industry, and they can give you answers. ”
"I have a few craftsmen under my command, and I have recently developed several new dyes, and I have dyed a few horses and sold them in the shop in the past few days, and the response is still good." The matter in the Leng family cloth shop has long been no secret, and several cloth shops have also gone to investigate, because the other party's dyes are so rare, and they can't imitate them, so they can only really watch each other make money, and now listening to the other party talk about it, their eyes are widened......
