Chapter 18: Surname Li, Name Xi (I)
Standing on the periphery of the crowd, listening to the commotion inside and outside the store, and looking at the people around who seemed to be talking about Jiannan burning spring and selling fake wine, Qiao Nai put his hands behind his back comfortably, and was indescribably happy in his heart.
He is the chief manager of Fuping Shi Frozen Spring in Chang'an, over the years, he has worked hard to get married to a lot of princes and magnates, and spends a lot of money and property every year to dot and climb, under the full support and praise of these people, Fuping Shi Frozen Spring has been able to climb high every year, and it is really the first place in the Tang Dynasty.
During this period, even wines such as Xingyang Tuguo Spring came out to make trouble for a while, and even a few Hu merchants in the Western Regions tried in vain to fight, but in the end, they were only on face, and they were powerless to shake their own status.
But right now, this small Jiannan Burning Spring that emerged from Jiannan Road was famous at the beginning of its opening, and it was praised by those literati, but it was faintly overshadowed by its own momentum, and the others are all false It's hard to say, but the shipment volume is a direct data, in the past month, since the opening of this Jiannan Burning Spring Store, its own shipments have plummeted. Especially in terms of high-end wine, this shipment has dropped even more, and even more than sixty percent!
What is the concept of this point in which shipments have plummeted?
This means that the monthly profit of my store has dropped by eighty percent all of a sudden!
In the long run, Fuping Shi Frozen Spring is still called the No. 1 wine in Datang, and it will be closed directly!
No one can stand this kind of thing, so whether it was the Xingyang Cave Spring back then, or those Hu merchants, he could wait patiently and watch, and when their own fire subsided, he went down by himself. But in the face of the current Jian Nan Burning Spring, he knew that no matter what, he had to make a move.
Otherwise, let alone pay an account to the master's side, just the annual filial piety to the Wang family and others, then you have to take it out of the past profits and paste it in!
It's okay now, although it took a lot of effort at the beginning, and he also promised a lot of benefits to go out, he finally moved the prince of the Wang family, and unexpectedly, he actually took the shit luck, and got the help of another nobleman, and he didn't charge money! It's a joy to look forward to.
Standing outside the crowd at this time, watching the endless stream of people rushing over to see the excitement, Qiao Nai smiled so much that the wrinkles on his face were flattened: Maybe when this matter is over, he can walk around the house over there? The big deal is to throw some more money, but once it is connected to that side, the future prospects will not be comparable to the right scattered cavalry Chang Shi Wang family!
Thinking of this, his eyebrows fluttered.
Turning his head and seeing that his little guy Liu Hao was poised on his toes to look at other people's shoulders, he couldn't help frowning, patted him on the shoulder, and when he turned his head, he glared at him with a calm face, and saw that he was startled, and quickly retreated behind him, then he straightened his clothes, coughed, and patted the shoulder of the person in front of him, and when the people turned around, he asked curiously: "Dare to ask this brother, what's wrong here?" ”
The one who happened to be patted on the shoulder by him was just a shopping mall, and he didn't know the shopkeeper behind the scenes of the first Fuping Shi Frozen Spring in this wine market, so he said angrily: "How do I know, I just heard that this Jiannan Roast Spring store sells fake wine, and someone came to the door!" ”
Qiao Nai looked surprised when he heard this, and said, "Oh, how can this shop be like this!" Selling fake wine, isn't this a scam! It's really dawn! ”
The man glanced at him and echoed: "Who says it's not, selling fake wine, fooling people!" ”
Qiao Nai also nodded indignantly when he heard this, "Pit people, pit people!" By the way, it is said that there are rules in the East Market, as long as anyone finds that which store is not doing business properly, they can go to Fang Zheng and the Municipal Tax Department to report, once verified, there is a heavy reward, but unfortunately my legs and feet are not good, it is estimated that when I run over, there are already people there. ”
He was chattering in front of him, no one cared, and suddenly heard the word heavy reward, many people hurriedly looked back at him, and the person who was patted on the shoulder by him just now even grabbed his sleeve, glared and asked, "What Mr. said is true?" After going to the Municipal Tax Department, there is a heavy reward to get? ”
Qiao Nai pretended to be panicked, looked at this one in confusion, and nodded: "Yes, don't you know this future life?" If it is verified, there will be a heavy reward. And I heard that even if it is verified untrue, it will not be held responsible. ”
"Oops!"
"And such good things!"
As soon as he said this, everyone understood, that is, you can rest assured that once you get it right, you will have money to take, and there will be no sequelae. Therefore, as soon as he finished speaking, the few people around him sighed in surprise when they heard it, and some people reacted quickly, and before they could even speak, they ran in the direction where the city tax department was.
When the others saw it, they didn't even have time to say thank you to Qiao Nai, so they hurriedly chased after them, and while chasing back, someone shouted, "Duh, who is that person, you stop, how can you be so shameless and rob people!" ”
Seeing that they had run away, Qiao Nai put away the honest and honest smile on his face, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he smiled coldly.
As the saying goes, taking advantage of your illness and killing you, this stick must go down, and you must never turn over!
Turning his head and glancing at the stunned Liu Hao, he pursed his lips and said, "What are you in a daze, go, squeeze through the crowd, let's get closer and see the excitement!" ”
※※※ In the crowd, what Li Yifeng saw was the butler Cheng who had not been seen for more than a month.
When he looked over, it happened that the steward Cheng was also looking at himself, and when he saw his Li Yifeng's surprised expression, he smiled slightly.
This is really a bit of a bit of an enemy when they meet.
Li Yifeng glanced at him deeply, then withdrew his gaze, looked at Li Xi, and whispered, "My lord, what are you going to do?" ”
At this time, Li Xi was also holding his hands behind, smiling and nodding at Steward Cheng over there, and then turned his head to look at Li Yifeng and said, "Act when the opportunity arises." ”
Li Yifeng felt slightly bitter when he heard this, but he knew that he had to do it now.
Jiannan Yaochun has just opened his reputation in Chang'an, if people smash the store at this time, or even confirm the reputation of selling fake wine, then don't think about turning over in the future. But the problem is that the other party is coming violently, and even not only the backstage Wang family of Fuping Shi Frozen Spring, but also the Cheng steward, who is likely to be from the Prince's Mansion, came to stand and cheer, obviously well-prepared, but his side was a step late and did not make any preparations in advance...... In this case, if you want to stop the other party from doing anything and ease things down, I am afraid it will be very difficult.
At this moment, with a loud shout from Wang Shuyan, the seven or eight tiger-backed family members behind him were about to copy the guy and smash the store, but he saw Luo Kedi suddenly raise his hand, "Slow, you guys, slow down, slow ......."
Then he stretched out his hand and pulled Wang Shuyan's arm, and said, "Wang Gongzi, and take a step to speak, the contemptible people have important matters to discuss." ”
Wang Shuyan shook off his hand when he heard this, and said disdainfully: "What qualifications do you have to discuss things with this son, get out!" Then he half-turned around and said to a few family members behind him: "Didn't you hear what this son said?" Smash me! ”
Na Luo Kedi ate him and threw him away, but at this time, he was not annoyed at all, and just said: "Slow, slow, Wang Gongzi, the villain has a humble status, and he is not qualified to discuss things with you, but the matter is related to the future of Lord Lingzun...... This one...... I'm afraid that you should deign to it! ”
He said this with a combination of strength and softness, and his tone seemed to be humble, but in fact he was extremely strong. These words came out of the mouth of a lowly merchant of his family, and the object of the words was still the son of the right scattered cavalry who was born in a prominent family and served the Wang family, but it was really a little scary. The problem is that his tone is still very big, and he often talks about the other party's future, and his tone is still very resistant!
Therefore, as soon as he said this, Rao is Wang Shuyan has always been arrogant, but he still couldn't help but be stunned, and turned his head to look at him, although his two mouse whiskers and hanging feet and eyes, no matter how he looked at it, he felt obscene, but at this moment he was smiling, and his expression was unspeakably full of confidence, so that he had a calm and peaceful taste.
In other words, although Wang Shuyan has always looked down on people, and even more despises businessmen who have no status, this time it is also because there is a steward Cheng next to him, and he first expressed interest, in order to catch the prince's boat, he decided to take this head for Fuping Shi Frozen Spring, but after all, he is the son of Wang Qiu, who is a regular servant of the right horseman, this brain, is not stupid.
Hearing Luo Kedi's words at the moment, he first turned his head and glared at Luo Kedi, and said: "Presumptuous, you are a little businessman, and you dare to open your mouth and shut up about the future of our family, you are simply looking for death!" ”
But having said that, he still waved his hand and signaled the family not to act rashly first.
At this time, Na Luo Kedi came over and whispered: "Wang Gongzi, just this year, Lord Ling Zun could have come on stage to pay respects to the Prime Minister, do you know why his old man insisted on resigning and had to give it to Han Xiu and Han Xianggong?" ”
Wang Shuyan was stunned by his words, and turned his head to look at him, his face full of puzzlement.
"Boss Wang's foresight is very beyond the reach of others!" First of all, Luo Kedi continued: "Your Majesty has succeeded to the throne for more than 20 years, and the court is thinking about it, so Lord Wang has avoided the edge, if you don't believe it, you can go back and ask the boss to see if what I said is right." ”
Wang Shuyan looked at him in a daze, and was silent for a while, but he frowned and thought about his words.
At this time, Luo Kedi said again: "The good godfather learned that although our Jiannan Yaochun came from Jiannan Road and has just opened, but in this store, there are also many people in the court and the middle of the country, not to mention anything else, does Wang Gongzi know who the owner of our store is?" ”
When Wang Shuyan heard this, he subconsciously asked, "Who?" ”
Luo Kedi smiled and said, "The master's surname is Li, and his name is Xi." ”
Wang Shuyan's eyes suddenly widened when he heard this, Li Xi, of course he had heard of this name.
