27. Shock all merchants

After listening to these people's words, Shen Cong's heart was very unhappy, did they all want to be fishermen? Now he wants to talk to them about things, talk about cooperation, and save a little face for them, if they don't say anything again, then he doesn't mind abolishing their industry, relying on the strong economic strength of the Shen family consortium, to do a monopoly economy, it will not be a matter at all. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Too lazy to talk nonsense with them, Shen Cong ordered someone to take out a potted plant, then put a few ice cubes under the potted plant, and then took the potted plant to the sun.

Everyone looked at Shen Cong curiously, not knowing what this Shen Gongzi wanted.

"Let's take a look, if the sun is the official and businessman controlled by the imperial court, the Shen family is this potted plant, and you are the ice cube in the potted plant, if this potted plant no longer exists, what will the ice cube do? What happens to the ice? Speaking of this, Shen Cong drew his sword and cut off the potted plant, only to see the hot sun shining on the ice, the ice could not withstand the blazing temperature and quickly melted, and in a few breaths, the ice completely disappeared, turning into water droplets and sinking into the potted plant.

Everyone's hearts were originally happy and curious, but at this moment, as the ice disappeared, everyone's hearts also sank to the bottom, they were not fools, and they all understood that Shen Cong had something to say.

Shen Cong took in the changes in everyone's expressions, and smiled happily: "You have all seen that the ice cubes have turned into water droplets and submerged into the soil, and although there are no trees in the potted plants, the roots are still there. ”

Everyone was shocked in place, and a quick calculation was made in their heads.

"Oh, today Shen invited everyone here to have a drink, but it turned out to make everyone so unhappy, Shen really deserves to die, okay, let's go up and eat the bar." Everyone was very heavy, but Shen Cong was extremely relaxed.

The subordinates of the Shen family are very appreciative of Gongzi's way of doing things, this method is simple, clear, direct and rude, which can make people quickly understand their own situation, but it eliminates how much tongue there is.

At the banquet, Shen Cong was very happy to eat, but the other people didn't have such a good appetite.

This banquet seemed to be a Hongmen banquet, and everyone ate extremely frightened, and when the banquet was over, everyone immediately said goodbye, and did not want to stop here for a moment, as if there was something fearful here.

The old housekeeper looked at Shen Cong and said: "Childe, the old slave Jue's methods are too decisive, if you do things too decisively, I'm afraid you won't achieve the desired effect, I'm afraid it will outweigh the losses!" Look at what scared them out of the way. ”

Shen Cong smiled: "Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, invincible, knowing one's opponent is very important, but knowing oneself is more important, since this son can do this, then he is still sure, for this kind of businessman who just wants to keep to himself, if he doesn't give them a little pressure, they won't move forward, they just want to keep everything they have, and they will quickly be confused by everything they have, until the disaster comes, they will regret it." ”

"Then what if these people are still unwilling to cooperate with Childe." The old butler asked softly.

"Then we will directly buy their stores and let them go bankrupt, in short, we can't let the power of a third party interrupt our development plan."

The old housekeeper said convincingly: "The young master is far-sighted, the old slave admires, I believe that under your leadership, our Shen family will be even stronger." ”

"Ugh." Shen Cong sighed and walked home: "Everything is too early, now we are still in crisis, we have to be prepared for danger in times of peace, this kind of life is really too tiring, when will it end." ”

At the moment, he doesn't need to do anything, all he has to do is wait, wait until the opponent will have any kind of movement, and then he sees the move and brakes quietly.

As Shen Cong estimated, these merchants in the Chang'an area were frightened after they went back, as if they had seen the situation of being raided by the government, so these people gathered together and decided to obey the dispatch of the Shen family and take the Shen family as the leader.

After all, the Shen family has strong economic strength and business all over the country, and they are living in the gap between the Shen family and the officials and businessmen, and it is very painful and difficult, and they may go bankrupt at any time.

The officials and businessmen have bad intentions, and the Shen family has hidden evil intentions, and it is not easy to offend in both aspects, but compared with the two, it seems that the Shen family is more reasonable, so it is not too difficult to choose between the two.

At that moment, these people immediately sent representatives to see Shen Cong, expressing their willingness to obey Shen Cong's arrangement, Shen Cong was naturally extremely happy about this, these rabble, although they were a plate of scattered sand, but when gathered, it was also a powerful force, using their power to consume the power of officials, businessmen and even the imperial court That is enough, what the Shen family has to do is to preserve their strength and silently support them behind their backs, that's all.

For a while, all the areas of Chang'an were looking at Shen Cong's horse, and under Shen Cong's order, these people closed the door and stopped business.

Originally, the lives of the people in the Chang'an area were already in dire straits under the condition that the Shen family raised prices and stopped business, and now these people are also closed, and the Chang'an area has completely entered the era of the Great Depression, and there are only dozens of officials and businessmen in the Chang'an area, and the number of goods of these officials and businessmen is simply not able to supply the people's lives, and for a while, the Chang'an area has completely fallen into the black terror, which is more serious than the famine, and all the people are panicked.

When Liu Bowen and Song Lian came to the Chang'an area, the people knelt on the street and begged the two of them to do it.

"Lord Song and Lord Liu, you are finally here, if Chang'an continues like this, we really won't be able to live, Xiaomin only had a little salt left in his house yesterday, but he was robbed by others, and this day is really impossible."

"Two adults, the necessities of daily life can't be bought at all now, our family is starving, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, etc. can only be reluctantly supplied by some officials and businessmen, but their goods are not enough at all, and they are still frantically raising prices, the life of a family can only reduce food and clothing and slowly consume these things, if you come late, otherwise our people will really starve to death."

"My mother is sick, obviously she has money, but she has nowhere to buy medicine, her old man's condition is getting worse and worse, what kind of day is this."

Listening to the people's crying fathers and mother-like complaints, Song Lian and Liu Bowen were taken aback, they had thought that the Chang'an region might be more difficult, but they didn't expect that it would be difficult to this point, the influence of the Shen family was so great, but they all achieved such an effect with casual shots, it seems that they still underestimated the Shen family.

"So the Shen family is closed for business, aren't there other businesses?" Liu Bowen's brain reacted quickly and asked everyone.

The people shook their heads and said: "At the beginning, they will provide a little goods, although the price is a bit high, but they can still buy things, but I don't know why they have all closed their doors recently, and they don't sell anything, we have money now but can't buy anything, the family is poor only money, and there is nothing for firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea." ”

Liu Bowen and Song Lian's hearts were even heavier, the Shen family was so powerful that it had completely threatened the rule of the country, what should I do, the tail would not fall.
