I have to say that Li You's age is too confusing. If he is not equipped with a five-grade official robe and a black gauze hat, anyone who sees him for the first time will only think that this person is a young master of a rich family, or the kind that has not come out of the cage, and the so-called aura of official authority has also become young and vigorous. In retrospect, perhaps many people were defeated by this involuntary contempt.

Steward Wang, who came from Jingbei, was no exception. He was about to get ready to block back the price reduction offensive of the Taisheng coal shopkeeper, when he suddenly saw the young man in his early twenties next to him jump out, and his words were presumptuous, and he was extremely rude and almost poked his fingers on his nose, and he was suddenly annoyed.

He turned his head to the shopkeeper Gao and said, "Tall shopkeeper, is this the hospitality of your store?" ”

Shopkeeper Gao also felt very faceless, but he had nothing to say, and he couldn't blame his owner, so he could only look up at Li You. Isn't this proprietor an official who is used to talking normally? Now it's about buying and selling, not trying prisoners, what's the use of putting on a big old man's shelf to be ruthless?

Steward Wang observed his words and guessed that the young man must be the young owner of this coal shop, otherwise why could the shopkeeper Gao only pretend to be deaf and dumb. He sneered at Li You and said, "Young man, if you can't speak, learn more, this is not the place for you to be strong." ”

Li You also sneered a few times: "I changed my mind, one or two or nine yuan per hundred catties of coal, I want to keep it at this price, and if I don't keep it, I will leave!" ”

Steward Wang couldn't help but shoot the case, "Ridiculous! You little brother put yourself in the right place! ”

Li You didn't take the words of the king's steward, looked at the sky with his eyes, and said, "Now it's one or two or eight dollars." ”

Steward Wang said to the shopkeeper Gao: "Is this the rule of your store?" Wandering under it for many years, unheard of! ”

As soon as the words fell, Li You's small but hateful voice was heard in his ears: "One two or seven dollars." ”

Steward Wang stood up and rebuked Li You: "How can this be true! We drove seventy or eighty miles. Sincerity to make this deal. But you're messing around! ”

Li You continued to look at the sky and said lightly: "One or two or six dollars." ”

Steward Wang should have been an old and sophisticated person, but at this time, he was almost angry by Li You's attitude. It's obvious that you are in dire need of coal, what kind of uncle are you putting on a shelf! He raised his hand angrily and said: "That's really nothing to talk about, I'm going to say goodbye!" ”

"One, two, five." Li You didn't care. didn't say anything to keep it, and casually made a lower offer. And looked at the king steward with mockery in his eyes, as if the other party dared to continue to be dissatisfied, he dared to continue to reduce the price.

Steward Wang finally couldn't help it, threw off his sleeves and left, and went out angrily. The shopkeeper Gao looked at the coal that he had almost touched with a sad face, sighed and said to Li You with a faint complaint: "What is the trouble of the owner. ”

Before, it was clearly agreed that it was two taels, but now when I want to trade, I change my words to three taels... Li You does have an arrogant and domineering side, and he is used to seeing big people. How could he tolerate the little ant Steward Wang jumping up and down in front of him?

Li You guessed that it must be that the Wang steward saw the clue somewhere, and knew that Taisheng Coal Shop was now in difficulty. That's why there is no fear to threaten to raise prices.

As a big scene character. Li You really thought it was ridiculous. If you are like this, you will be easily coerced, and you will be as low as the high shopkeeper. I'm afraid that I will be laughed to death by my friends, how can I mix in the capital in the future!

His face is very valuable, but it is not comparable to a few taels of silver, and he would rather not do this business than lose this face.

From this point of view, the judgment of the shopkeeper Gao is actually correct, Li You, who is accustomed to Weifu, is not suitable for personal trading. …,

The above is the reason on the one hand, and the reason on the other hand is still the same sentence, for this business, Li You's political account is larger than the economic account, and the main purpose is to use a large amount of cheap coal to stir up the market, stimulate the reaction of all parties, and achieve his goal of taking advantage of the opportunity to make trouble.

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to spend three taels of silver to eat and then sell it at a high price, which is tantamount to colluding with profiteers, what good is it for him?

He didn't think that there would be this business before, if it weren't for Uncle Qian Guo's connection, he wouldn't be tempted, since he couldn't do it, then forget it. Quietly waiting for the natural fermentation of the people's emotions, after a few days of snow, it is estimated that the price of coal will reach its peak, and at the same time it is the peak period of a large consumption of charcoal, and it is easy to make chaos at that time.

Although Li You has his own complete considerations, but in the face of the resentful gaze of the senior shopkeeper, he can't explain it in detail, the difference between the levels of life is too far, and some truths are difficult to communicate. The shopkeeper may be a good shopkeeper, but he is afraid that he will never be able to keep up with his thoughts.

Well, this shop now belongs to Li You, and how to toss it is Li You's business. But when Shopkeeper Gao was negotiating, Li You unceremoniously intervened, which made Shopkeeper Gao feel that his self-esteem had been greatly hurt and he was very aggrieved, so he could only express his heart with a resentful gaze.

Fortunately, the shopkeeper has a good temper, and he is replaced by a big shopkeeper with a fierce temperament, but I am afraid that "there is no place for the master here", and it is possible to turn his face and leave on the spot.

Li You suddenly felt that he was out of line, after all, this shop is inseparable from the management of the big shopkeeper who is familiar with the situation, and the role of professional managers cannot be underestimated, and this high shopkeeper can get along for a long time from the perspective of temperament.

Thinking of this, he said comfortingly: "Mr. Gao, please rest assured, this shop will come back to life after all." I don't dare to guarantee anything else, and there is no problem for the friends to have no worries about food and clothing. ”

Listening to the ears of the shopkeeper Gao, Li You's words are nothing dry, just an attitude. But in fact, it's not that there is an attitude to eat, and in terms of attitude, which owner doesn't want to make money?

Li You saw that the shopkeeper was listless, smiled and said pretendingly: "Believe it or not, Steward Wang will come back." ”

The shopkeeper raised his head and wondered, "Why is this?" ”

"Do you think Yang Yuanwai doesn't want to sell coal? The coal in the north was used to supply the border army and smelt and burn bricks, and he was excluded for some unknown reason. The coal had been backlogged in his hands for two months, and he was in a hurry to cash in. ”

So that's the case, no wonder these hundreds of thousands of catties of coal suddenly appeared, and the shopkeeper Gao became interested and asked, "Is there anything else?" ”

"Why didn't he sell coal nearby, and spent manpower and animal power to drive nearly 100 miles to the capital? That's why. As far as I suspect, Yang Yuanwai may be in the coal car team. Otherwise, why could Steward Wang be bold and rest assured to go here first. And throw the coal cart behind? Don't you think that's weird? ”

The shopkeeper Gao was thoughtful, it was indeed strange, he didn't expect this! Put yourself in their shoes. If he personally escorted a large number of goods on the road, he would definitely not dare to leave the convoy and run around.

At this time, a fellow shouted outside the door: "Boss! The big shopkeeper! The coal cart has arrived, and the steward of the king has returned! ”

Li You and Shopkeeper Gao glanced at each other. One of them is shrewd and shrewd, and the other is experienced in shopping malls, and they both think of something. It seems that the king's steward has softened...

The shopkeeper Gao was surprised, and his admiration for the new owner was out of control like a surging river, and the owner was really a god!

This time, Li You asked the shopkeeper Gao to go out to greet him and arrange the unloading, while he himself sat arrogantly on the main seat in the hall and drank tea, and did not get up to greet him.

Not long after, I saw the shopkeeper Gao leading the two in. One is the king's steward, and the other is a man in a brocade robe of thirty-seven or eight. …,

Seeing that the king's steward was following the brocade-robed man, Li You would be able to know. This person must be Yang Yuanwai, the owner of the coal kiln in the north.

This Yang is also a bit of a caring person. The king is in charge of the things that raise the price before. Maybe he ordered it, Li You thought.

Sure enough, I heard the shopkeeper Gao introduce: "This is Yang Yuanwaiye." ”

Li You nodded indifferently. still didn't get up, but just raised his hand at random and invited a few people to take a seat.

It seems that the other party is arrogant and rude, but Yang Yuanwai doesn't care. Although he was from the north, he did not live in the capital. But from Uncle Qian's letter, he knew that this young man must be a powerful person, at least more powerful than Uncle Guo, otherwise Uncle Qian would not have pushed this person out.

It can also be seen from his attitude towards the king steward that he does not bother to bargain with the king steward at all, if it were not for the big man who is full of confidence, he will never do so.

In a word, if you have strength, you will naturally have arrogant capital, and Yang Yuanwai is a typical businessman, so he recognizes this. Then he spoke first: "Just now, this Wang Steward has offended Li Daguan, and I am very sorry, and I ask the Daguan not to meet him in general." ”

Li You is half habitually arrogant and half pretentious, and at the same time observes in secret. After he found out that he was setting up the score, the other party was not dissatisfied at all, and even figured out Yang Yuanwai's thoughts.

"A little thing, forget about the past." Immediately, Li You turned his head and said proudly: "It's just that what I say won't change." This time, the price of coal was said to be one or two and a half yuan, which is one or two and a half yuan. ”

This price was definitely high a month ago, when the coal market price was generally one tael of silver, but now it seems to be low. Of course, the mine owner still makes money at the price of selling to the coal shop, but he can't enjoy the benefits brought by the soaring coal price.

Yang Yuanwai hesitated, and the steward Wang who was sitting at the bottom helped his proprietor and discussed: "Li Daguan, your price is a little out of place. ”

Li You glanced at Steward Wang, and requoted: "Now it's one or two or four dollars." ”

"You—" The king steward was only halfway through his words, and then he shrank his head and said no more.

Yang Yuanwai gritted his teeth, "Li Daguan! When we met for the first time today, the forty truckloads of coal shipped were sold to you at a price of 100 catties and 124 yuan! Just make a friend, it can be regarded as a meeting gift, and it will also make amends for the king's stewardship! But I still have 300,000 catties of coal there, and when I bring it back, I will have to trade it at the price of two taels that I have agreed before. ”

Li You said in his words: "As long as Yang Yuanwai no longer has any superfluous thoughts about what is wrong, it is naturally okay." ”

The shopkeeper Gao was stunned on the side, how does this owner look at the layman, he is playing music and playing personality before and after, why can he inexplicably have the upper hand? In the end, the price was actually pressed to one or two or four dollars, the world of young people, he can't understand, is he already old?

Forty carts of coal are counted as 80,000 catties, and each hundred catties are one tael or four dollars of silver, with a total price of one thousand one hundred and twenty taels. In accordance with the rules of the industry, the shopkeeper Gao said to Yang Yuanwai: "Pay you part of the coal payment first, and then make up with you after the rest is sold." ”

The payment method proposed by the high shopkeeper is a common phenomenon in the coal market, not to mention that the major coal shops have recently hoarded a large number of coal, how can there be enough capital turnover, and the mine owners who send coal are paid on credit, and then paid together after the coal is sold.

But this is different from what the middleman Uncle Qian Guo said, Yang Yuanwai was dissatisfied: "I said that I said that I delivered the goods with one hand and paid the money with the other, so why do I have to pay on credit?" It is precisely because other houses want to pay on credit that I sell it to you, and it is still a low price of one or two or four dollars! If so, how is it different from others? I might as well sell it to someone else at a high price! ”

Li You saw that the trade of coal trafficking with Yang Yuanwai was indeed feasible, and he wanted to pull the remaining hundreds of thousands of catties of coal he had accumulated over and sell them to become his own weapon to stir up the market. He agreed: "No problem, I'll give you all the money now!" ”…,

Seeing the owner's promise, the shopkeeper Gao's face turned bitter. He invited Li You to the corner of the courtyard and whispered: "The owner just took over today, but he didn't know anything. A few days ago, Lin Jumati walked through the dividends, and now there are only more than 300 taels of silver in the store's account, how can he pay him more than 1,000 taels in one go? Besides, credit sales are also the norm in the industry, and now everyone is hoarding coal on a large scale, and silver is tight, who is not like this? ”

Faced with the complaint of the big shopkeeper, Li Dongjia was very unimpressed, "How can you lack silver?" You call a guy to go to the Huichang Silver Account on Qipan Street and lend 3,000 taels first, and the interest will be calculated at the lowest rate for the turnover of the store. ”

The shopkeeper Gao was stunned, this sounds like a very layman's words. Although the owner seems to have a good grasp of people's hearts because of being an official, in business, a layman is a layman. At this time, it's not the time to put on a show!

Besides, it is never so easy to borrow money from a place such as a bank shop, and it is not necessary to guarantee the mortgage, not to mention that you can get the money back on the spot by asking the likes of the guys to go on a trip, and you can casually get the interest at the lowest?

That's impossible! If there is such a good thing, he will first give himself a private loan of a few thousand taels to do some private work! However, this proprietor is not easy to mess with, and the shopkeeper Gao said cautiously: "It's not easy to get a loan, how can it be so easy, and now it's difficult to find a mortgage in this situation of the store." It's better to think about the coal money first. ”

Li You looked at an old sparrow flying under the eaves, and said lightly: "No problem, I also opened the silver trumpet." Send a fellow to take three thousand taels with me and ask for a silver ticket. ”

Depend on! The shopkeeper Gao almost threw himself to the ground, knowing that he was really worried about his future for a long time in vain! With the support of silver and blood transfusion, you are not afraid of the trough dilemma, even if you have no business for the time being, you can maintain the coal shop without collapsing, and stay up until there is a turnaround! . ）
