Chapter 109: Opening Strike
The opening of Limindang has long been spread in more than 20 counties of Shuntianfu. The prices of leather goods and clothing, which were originally finalized and suppressed by this generation of pawnshops, have risen again. For a time, Limin is currently crowded, some are clothes, some are jade, this year, for the people of Pingtou, food is the life-saving straw. When you become a thing and change food, you can live.
As the owner behind the scenes, Yang Fan naturally didn't go back to pay attention to business matters, and left them to the three elders to take care of. It's still three poles a day, and it slowly gets up. Hearing the noisy sound in front of him, he almost broke through the threshold, which was also reasonable for him. Zhang Yao and Liu Hui rushed over and said, "Sir, the Holy ......" Liu Hui whispered quietly. Yang Fan nodded and said, "I know, remember to bring it in from the back door, the front door is estimated to not be able to enter." ”
"Did the saint say how many stones of grain were shipped to the northwest this year?"
"There is no food, except for the 10,000 stone taken from the lord, there is no rest of the food for disaster relief. The autumn grain in Jiangnan and Huguang, except for a batch of autumn grain collected before, was mostly hoarded by those grain merchants, and they would not open a warehouse until they starved to death. ”
Yang Fan washed the grain and muttered, "Ten thousand stones, it's one person to save one more person." Which of you is going to prepare the car, I'm going to go out. "This Tianzi Lu number, Yang Fan plans to let Dakang Winery come to the owner. In this way, it can not only stabilize the remaining seven, but also slowly encroach on the Gu Ji pawnshop, so that the business of the people will not be suppressed too much.
However, less than an hour after the opening of Limindang, Gu Ji, who was the leader of the pawnshop in Shuntianfu, gathered several large pawnshops in the vicinity and began to discuss countermeasures.
Gu Zhiqing had to go out in person for a major event, and Gu Yizhou, who came back from buying grain from Jiangnan, stood aside and handed tea and water with a humble demeanor. The proprietors of several pawnshops took the water with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Boss Gu, your family can really take charge of the boat on your own." ”
"Haha, the usual things in the store have long been taken care of by him. In the future, please take care of me. I'm just waiting to hold my grandson. By the way, I invite you to come here today, mainly to discuss the matter of the pawnshop of the people. Gu Zhiqing said.
"That's right, this Limin pawnshop has raised the price we originally pressed down again, and it will be difficult to do the business of this pawnshop immediately. Boss Gu, I listened to your attention at the beginning, and pressed the price of this fur's death from fifty to twenty. If it goes up now, what can this business do? ”
"That's right, Boss Gu, you said it. What should I do with this pawnshop? ”
Gu Zhiqing smiled: "Do you know who is the owner behind this pawnshop?" ”
"What, is it that the backer behind this Limin pawnshop is hard?" The owner of the Xuanji pawnshop asked. Gu Zhiqing nodded and said, "The owner behind this is Lord Yang, who is making a lot of noise now." Do you know, who brought down the Luo family's Tianzi Lu? ”
"The Luo family has fallen?" Some uninformed bosses were taken aback, "This ...... Isn't the Luo family backed by Luo Qingchuan's brother-in-law Lord Yu? Could it be that Lord Yu and the Luo family have turned their faces? ”
Gu Zhiqing shook his head and said: "A few days ago, the Luo family and Lord Yang had a lawsuit, it is said that the two families were not in charge, and the young owner of the Luo family was crippled by Lord Yang, and secretly bought the witnesses. As a result, on the eve of winning the lawsuit, Luo Qingchuan was killed. As for who killed him, no one has come forward to speak up until now. The court was also secretive, and there was no voice. ”
Hiss.
The room became silent. "Then according to Boss Gu's meaning, this Lord Yang is going to rectify us now? Why don't we raise the price again? ”
"Hey, my brother is wrong. It's not just us who have the final say on the price when it comes down. The ...... of the court" Gu Zhiqing pointed to the ceiling, "Now the dividends paid to those adults every year come from here, if the price of death is rising, those adults will not care about your and my situation, their dividends are less, they will naturally be dissatisfied, if there are a lot of those dividends, then we will have to fight the autumn wind." Gu Zhiqing shook his head, joke, this is easy to say that the price that has been pressed down, if it is floating, it will be repaid.
"It doesn't work, it doesn't work either. Boss Gu, then you have to think of something. The most taboo thing about this pawnshop is that it is hoarded and not circulated, you see, there are not a few people on my side, and if it goes on like this, the wages in the store will still be paid, and this business will be yellow. ”
"yes. From this morning to now, I haven't done a single business on my side, which is a sad person. "Some of them came by themselves, and some of them were invited by Gu Zhiqing, anyway, they all had one purpose, that is, to find him to come up with ideas. Gu Zhiqing saw that the time was almost up, so he said unhurriedly: "How about listening to me?" This Luo family has fallen, and it is completely self-inflicted. First, I heard that I kidnapped the lord's sister, and secondly, I kidnapped the witnesses of Lord Yang, which were all violations of discipline, so the adults who helped the Luo family did not stand up. We're different. This shopping mall is like a battlefield, as long as it is within the scope of the Daming Law, you can do whatever you want. ”
"Oops, Boss Gu. Don't go around in circles. Your No. 8 pawnshop has a big business, and without that piece of fat, you can still eat it. How do we little pawnshops survive? An old man with a more anxious temperament stood up directly and urged.
"Don't worry, let me first talk about the price of this Limin pawnshop, this jade, gold and silver, it seems that nothing has changed, but some leather goods that we can suppress, the price has returned to the original price. This piece of jade, gold and silver, we can't act rashly for the time being, after all, it is difficult to increase the profit of this piece now.
This leather goods have always been easy to obtain for ordinary people, and it is also the most controllable by us. You also understand that the profit of your pawnshop on this piece every year is the difference between buying low and selling high to Chen Ji Cloth Store and Jiangnan. Therefore, we simply took out all the leather goods in the warehouse and sold them to the Limin pawnshop. ”
"Boss Gu, are you crazy? If you don't eat this piece of fat meat, you still have to give the piece in the bowl to Limindang? ”
"Don't worry, when did my Gu Zhiqing ever trade at a loss, although the price of this leather goods was sold at a price of 50 wen a foot higher than that of 10 wen, but we are mainly suppressing him now for the benefit of the people. This is to cheat them out of all the money they have in their hands. When the time comes, a pawnshop will run out of money, what will it take to open it? ”
"That's true, but this dead skin, this benefit of the people is not a fool. It's freezing right now, and it's just right to sell it to Chen Ji to make a leather jacket, so it's possible to stupidly hoard it over there and sell it in the summer? ”
