Chapter Ninety-Eight: The End of the Business War (4)
As more and more merchants gathered outside the Splendid Pavilion, Leng Cheng became more and more confused, but those merchants had no words, and he was not easy to speak, after all, as the big shopkeeper of the Leng family, this idea was still arrogant.
After a long time, there were already a lot of merchants outside the Splendid Pavilion, and these merchants all held the contract documents in their hands, wandering vigorously, and looking into the distance from time to time.
At this time, it is time to grind down, and it is already time. At this time, on the long street, a middle-aged man with a big belly and wearing silk satin slowly walked by, this person's name is Tie Abacus, and he is the most famous shopkeeper under Li Yanqi, the princess of Huai'an. He is a money-hungry man and a penny-harder, but he is a good hand at doing business.
The iron abacus man walked slowly, and behind him, followed by a group of people, all dressed as merchants, followed by Wu Yang and walked to the outside of the Splendid Pavilion.
No matter how calm Leng Cheng was, he also realized that it was unusual at this time, but he still smiled and said: "This is not an iron shopkeeper!" How can I have time to visit the cold store today, it is really brilliant! ”
The fat on Iron Abacus's face trembled, and he said with a smile: "Brother Leng, don't come to harm!" ”
"Come to ...... Today"
Before Leng Cheng finished speaking, Tie Abacus directly waved his hand to interrupt him: "Brother Leng, you also said it!" One of us came to withdraw the money we had invested in the Leng family's property, and the other wanted to break these contracts. ”
Leng Cheng was stunned when he heard this, and said in disbelief: "You say...... What the? Remove the money? Brother Tie, you're not mistaken, are you? ”
Iron Abacus said bluntly: "How dare I talk nonsense." Brother Leng, let's put it bluntly, Yipinxuan under the name of your Leng family not only has no penny now, but also owes Jing Runxing a sum of silver, I'm afraid that it will be closed soon. Today, I don't know why, we suddenly heard that there is a problem in your Leng family's business, and there is not much money left. You see, we are all small traders, doing small business, not as big as your Leng family's big business. Just in case, we had to withdraw the money invested in the Leng family's shop. ”
The merchant next to him echoed: "That's it, Leng shopkeeper, you said that there was such a big thing in your Leng family, you should have said it earlier!" We have been doing business with the Leng family for so many years, and we ...... It's not quite authentic. ”
"That's it! Not authentic.
"I said it earlier! It's not easy for us to make money! ”
Among these merchants, many of them are merchants under Li Yanqi's name, and they have already greeted them before. Let them contact more merchants in Chang'an, find out the merchants who have business dealings with the Leng family, and publicize the dangers of the business chain
Therefore, during this period of time, these people have been guiding the minds of other merchants, and they have learned about many merchants who are involved with the Leng family. After their persuasion, these merchants were imperceptibly affected, and when the matter of Yipinxuan broke out, they responded to the call of the iron abacus.
The shopkeeper looked at these excited merchants, no matter how confused he was, he knew that something big had happened.
Yipinxuan is out of money...... The Leng family's business went wrong...... Withdraw the money invested in the Leng family.
As soon as these trivial information were integrated, Leng Cheng immediately realized the seriousness of the matter. In Chang'an, the Leng family and most merchants are implicated, among which they owe each other on credit, and there are countless business dealings. These merchants have infiltrated the bloody night of the Leng family, and if they leave, this matter will lead to problems in the Leng family's industrial chain.
At that time, I am afraid that all the industries of the Leng family will have a big shock.
Leng Cheng can be the big shopkeeper under the name of the Leng family, and the means are naturally there, at the moment, these merchants are excited, so they can only be appeased first, and they smiled with a pleasant smile at the moment: "Everyone, please listen to me." The problem you said about the Leng family's business is nothing. Think about it, our Leng family is a century-old family in Zhongzhou, and after hundreds of years of wind and rain, this Leng family is still a Leng family. On what basis? It's nothing more than strength and credibility, so you put your heart in your stomach. Moreover, I promise that if something goes wrong in our Leng family's business, we will definitely tell you, and your interests will definitely not be lost. ”
After all, the Leng family is one of the two peak families in Zhongzhou, and the Leng shopkeeper is the Leng family after all, no matter how these people play Lai Sahuan, they don't dare to be too presumptuous. At this time, in the crowd, someone suddenly shouted: "That's what I said, but who knows if it really happened, and your Leng family will not take care of us small traders." ”
This person's words were very muddy, but the group responded one after another: "That's it, we don't care, we just need the Leng family to return our money." ”
"That's it, return the money! That's our hard-earned money! The men shouted desperately.
"Yes, shopkeeper Leng, look, I just came from Yipinxuan, and let me take care of you over there to ask for money."
It was the shopkeeper of Jingrun Xingfang who came in a hurry who spoke. In fact, the crooked shopkeeper didn't let him come to Leng Cheng at all, all of this is what Mo Fei meant.
The shopkeeper Leng used to think that these merchants were misbelieving the rumors, but now when he saw the shopkeeper Fang holding an IOU, he cursed the crooked shopkeeper in his heart: This fool with a bird and a monkey.
It turned out that it was the fourth day from the crooked mouth shopkeeper who owed money on credit in Jingrunxing, and tomorrow was the fifth day. And there was no movement on Yipinxuan's side, and the shopkeeper Fang naturally knew that the time was not enough, but now that Yipinxuan was leaking such news, even if he went to ask for money at an inopportune time, the shopkeeper with a crooked mouth had nothing to say.
The crooked-mouthed shopkeeper already knew that this was a trap under Princess Huai'an's mansion, but there was nothing wrong with this kind of business war at all, and he was to blame for the consequences. However, the current crooked-mouthed shopkeeper didn't have the heart to pay attention to these at all, he only knew that no matter what he did, the end he was about to face would be death.
Seeing that it was useless to find a crooked shopkeeper, the shopkeeper hurriedly ran to the Splendid Pavilion, feeling like adding fuel to the fire. After all, Yipinxuan said that it was an industry under the name of the second prince, but after all, it was still the Leng family.
"Shopkeeper Leng, Yipinxuan owes us the silver money on credit, but I can't repay it, so I came here to ask for it."
Shopkeeper Leng squinted at Shopkeeper Fang, waved his hand and prevaricated: "Brother Fang said that he laughed, Yipinxuan has nothing to do with our Leng family, it is the property that the Leng family gave to the second prince." ”
The shopkeeper Leng put Yipinxuan out of touch with the Leng family's industry, in order to block these people's mouths, so as not to make everyone think that there was something wrong with their Leng family's industry.
However, Shopkeeper Fang did not give up and said with a smile: "Yo! The cold shopkeeper's words are a bit out-of-the-box, everyone knows that these industries are called industries under the name of the second prince, but they are actually the industries of the Leng family. If you want to say that Yipinxuan has nothing to do with you, who believes it! ”
"That is, it is impossible for Yipinxuan not to have anything to do with you. Don't think about breaking up the relationship, we ask for a refund. ”
Seeing that these people were not relenting, he had been accustomed to being praised for many years, and he had been persuaded for a long time with good words, but he had long lost his patience, and said coldly at the moment: "You can eat food indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense." If you pay attention to one evidence, you say that there is a problem in our Leng family's business, but there is evidence? Don't forget, this is the Leng family. ”
"Huh! The Leng family is really a big breath, we small merchants trust your Leng family, so we do business with you, what? Does the Leng family want to rely on their family background to occupy our silver? ”
It was Mo Fei and Li Yanqi who came leisurely and casually who spoke, and the cold shopkeeper didn't know Li Yanqi who was dressed as a man, but the shopkeeper Fang and the iron abacus knew each other, and immediately bowed his hand and said: "Master." ”
The shopkeeper Leng was stunned for a moment, he knew Jing Runxing's boss and Iron Abacus, and knew that these two people managed the property under the name of Princess Huai'an. Now that he called this person the master, he immediately guessed Li Yanqi's identity.
"Isn't that true?" At this time, someone in the group of merchants muttered.
"Huh! Yes, yes, it's the top of the list of the next meeting. ”
The shopkeeper Leng frowned, but he didn't expect that Princess Huai'an and Mo Fei would be involved in this matter, and the shopkeeper Leng was entangled for a while, and smiled far-fetchedly: "Huai'an...... Childe, you are joking, how can our Leng family be so arrogant and unreasonable, hehe...... It's just that there are many strange things about this matter, and there must be people with intentions who are spreading rumors. Please also give our Leng family a time, we will definitely give you an explanation for this matter. ”
Mo Fei smiled. If there is no matter of Yipinxuan, with the status of the Leng family, these people naturally believe in the words of the Leng shopkeeper. But now, the facts are in front of us, and no matter how nice Leng Cheng's words are, they are pale and powerless promises.
In the impression of the shopkeeper Leng, the princess's mansion and the Leng family had no grievances, so he continued to smile at Li Yanqi and said, "I will go back to report this matter to the head of the family immediately." Tomorrow at the latest, I will give you an answer, when the time comes. If you are any more dissatisfied, we will return your money. ”
The cold shopkeeper said this, which can be regarded as benevolence and righteousness, although these people are still not at ease in their hearts, they are really helpless. In fact, I came here today for a guarantee from the Leng family, and now that they have been promised, they have a bottom in their hearts.
However, seeing that the shopkeeper Leng was respectful to the young man in front of him just now, he expected that the other party must be a son with a very high status. Therefore, everyone set their eyes on Li Yanqi together,
Li Yanqi smiled and looked at Mo Fei.
Although it was very surprising that Leng Cheng would have such a decisive guarantee, however, the business war was not the purpose of him and Li Yanqi, so he didn't take it seriously. Now, this matter is a foregone conclusion, and next, the Leng family can be distracted in business, and his goal has been achieved.
Therefore, Mo Fei smiled and nodded.
Li Yanqi said: "Okay, since this is the case, then we will wait for the reply of the Leng family." ”
Leng Cheng knew that Li Yanqi was relieved because of Mo Fei's nod, but when things were relieved, he felt a lot more at ease, took a long sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Definitely, definitely." ”
As he spoke, the crowd dispersed.
"Suddenly, I realized that you were a ...... It's really scary. ”
Mo Fei and Li Yanqi walked towards the end of the street, Li Yanqi glanced at Mo Fei, and saw that his face was leisurely and calm, and suddenly such a sentence came out.
"What's wrong?"
Li Yanqi looked at Mo Fei's questioning face, and said with a smile like a flower: "It's okay." ”
But in my heart, I slandered: I look young, scheming like an old fox!
