Chapter 470 There is no such thing as fair competition

Chen Xie didn't have any sympathy for this woman, the reason was very simple, if she changed positions, she wouldn't sympathize with Chen Xie. The victor is to be on top, and compassion is built on treating harmless people. Chen Xie doesn't think this kind of kneeling is to subdue the softness, and it may also be a strategy.

"Lift your head up!" A condescending voice, is it humiliation that awaits you? Zhou Xiuying didn't know, so she could only raise her head obediently, with hatred and fear in her eyes. In the past three years, a pair of invisible hands have been secretly targeting the Shen family. At first, she didn't know that after the Zhang family almost monopolized the Jiangnan cotton market by relying on the weaving industry, they turned their attention to the silk weaving industry. It was only after a qiē that it was gradually revealed.

Competition is never fair. The so-called fair competition is actually a nonsense about self-deception. In front of the interests within reach, in the face of huge interests, people can do anything. At the beginning, the Shen family was a gesture of encirclement and suppression for the Zhang family to enter the silk weaving industry. Using its own resource advantages, it exhausted all means in the field of raw silk to prevent the Zhang family from purchasing enough raw silk for production. It's just to create a result that you can't buy raw silk even if you have money.

In the face of the encirclement and suppression of the Shen family, Ye Xianyun's resources accumulated in the cotton industry over the years have played a role, and he has developed steadily and slowly, but instead of being encircled and suppressed, he has doubled the price of raw silk. This move led to the unprecedented prosperity of the silk weaving industry in the south of the Yangtze River in the past three years, and after the raw silk was woven into silk, it was a completely different situation when facing the market.

A merchant running the sea. After purchasing silk, it is certain that it will make money by selling it at the previous price, but this price obviously cannot satisfy the merchants. They want to sell at a higher price, but that's not what they want to do. Who owns the territory at sea? The merchants, who were targeted by the naval guns, obediently transported the silk to the big man, and reluctantly sold it at a cost price. Fortunately, this move is only for silk. If you can't make money on this trip, will you do it on the next trip?

Because of Chen Xie's control of the sea route, the sales season of Jiangnan silk. The silk of the Shen family couldn't be sold. Can only be stacked in warehouses. It can only be sold in the domestic market, but in the domestic market, the Zhang family is selling silk at a loss and low price.

The Shen family is indeed a big family, but this is also a huge burden. When business is good. A lot of the problems are swept under the rug. Once the business is bad. The problem arises. Silk is the pillar industry of the Shen family. You can't throw it away lightly. But the problem of the previous year was not solved, and the new silk was put on the market again the next year, how much more money could Chen's silk be worth? Losses are inevitable. This thing seems to be a joke, and silk sales in the late Ming Dynasty can lose money. But the reality is so cruel.

In the second year, the Shen family was a little difficult, and all kinds of problems were exposed. On the one hand, there is a surplus in the annual cost of maintaining production, and on the other hand, there is a loss of personnel, and other industries are also being obscene. Under the premise that American goods are rampant in the Jiangnan market, the Shen family actually does not even have a sales of American products. The Shen family was kicked out, and other businessmen immediately took over, which is tantamount to picking up silver business, who doesn't rush to do it?

In the third year, the Shen family couldn't hold on, the external environment was bad, and the internal family began to fight for the family property. Zhou Xiuying can no longer control the overall situation, and even her family officially notified her at the end of last year that she would cancel her cooperation with the Shen family.

At this time, even if she is a fool, she can see what kind of person she offended in the first place. In the face of the bad situation, the old man's body was a little unbearable. Although the husband is a student, he can't see people all day long, so he knows that he comes back every month and asks for money. Between husband and wife, there is only one name left, and she doesn't know how long she hasn't seen her husband. It's probably around the New Year every year, and you can see your husband who shows up. And recently, he is still planning to divorce his wife and seize power. If it weren't for this incident, Zhou Xiuying would not have appeared in this place.

This is a proud woman, she can leave the Shen family, but she must not leave the Shen family as if she was divorced.

There was silence in the study, Chen Xie didn't speak, and Zhou Xiuying could only dodge his eyes and didn't dare to make a sound.

"Recently, in Suzhou City, there is a saying that the Shen family has come to this day because of you. Remember when we talked about cooperation? Just like yesterday. Chen Xie finally spoke, and what he said was not very good, because Chen Xie was telling the truth. The failure of cooperation was not the reason why Chen Xie did something to the Shen family, it was just an excuse. To change the traditional hand-weaving industry and promote industrial production, the Shen family will have to clean up sooner or later.

But to Zhou Xiuying's ears, what Chen Xie said was the truth. A feeling of shame and indignation lingered in his heart, he quickly looked at Chen Xie, and said in a low voice: "I heard that my father-in-law is already planning, looking for opportunities to increase my power, and then sweep me out of the house." I'm here to beg you, raise your hand and let me go. ”

When Chen Xie heard the end, he suddenly laughed, stared at her delicate face, and said with a smile: "What, didn't you let the Shen family go?" ”

Zhou Xiuying paused for a moment, hesitated for a while, shook her head and said, "Shen family? I don't know. I have a thought right now, to humiliate those who have enjoyed my hard-earned money, but who are plotting against me behind my back. ”

Chen Xie smiled again and said lightly: "Da Ming Su attaches great importance to etiquette, if you leave the Shen family like this, I am afraid that you will not be able to stay in Jiangnan." They have a way to kill you, and they can even sink you in a pond. Do you think you still have to leave the Shen family? ”

It's a bit vicious, but it's true. Not to mention a woman, Zhang Juzheng stayed in office and impeached him. In the Ming Dynasty, a woman's fate was not in her hands at all.

This sentence completely crushed Zhou Xiuying's last bit of strength, and her situation in the Shen family at this time can be described as stormy. After marrying into the Shen family, he was a dedicated housekeeper. During the waiting period, the maid was allowed to go to the house, which was not enough to satisfy her husband. If it weren't for the old man's full support, she would have no status in this family a long time ago. Now that the old man is lying down, her position is precarious.

Zhou Xiuying sat on the ground, sobbing silently in despair. Chen Xie sat on the chair and looked at her indifferently and cried. People are like that, once a strong appearance is defeated, they tend to become extremely vulnerable. Zhou Xiuying's previous strength was based on her status. The silent atmosphere lasted for nearly half an hour, Zhou Xiuying finally stopped crying, wiped her tears, slowly stood up, looked at Chen Xie fixedly, and said, "When you left in anger, did you always look forward to this day. ”

Chen Xie paused for a moment and then smiled: "What you said is not entirely right, when I left, I did think so as you said." But later, this kind of thinking is less intense, and even dispensable. The decline of the Shen family, in fact, is an inevitable result even if it is not for you. I have a lot of big things to do, and I don't have much to spend on one woman. ”

In the depths of Zhou Xiuying's heart, a burst of disappointment unexpectedly rose. For her, this may be the biggest blow. When someone else said this, she might have pounced on it and bitten this bastard to death. But the man in front of her, now for her, has an unattainable feeling. In front of the governors of the three provinces, there are also the titles of Dongge University Scholar and Hubu Shangshu, not to mention that she is a woman, even if she is all the officials in Jiangnan and the officials of the Sixth Department of Nanjing, they have to salute first when they see Chen Xie.

"In that case, the slave family has taken their leave." Zhou Xiuying calmed down, and the calm after all thoughts were lost. With a hint of dead gray on his face, he slowly turned around and walked forward. Chen Xie said lightly behind him at this time: "What, are you going to leave like this?" After you go back, how do you face the people of the Shen family, or do you find a rope to break yourself after you go back? ”

"Devil, what the hell are you going to do?" Zhou Xiuying was completely stimulated, and she was about to lose a qiē, but she had no scruples. turned to Chen Xie and roared angrily. Chen Xie faced her anger, but smiled very gently: "I don't want to raise it, I thought that at this time, you should be able to sit down calmly and negotiate slowly." Unexpectedly, you are still a quick temper. In a word, Zhou Xiuying was stunned again, what does this mean, is there room for redemption?

"The slave family knows that even if the slave family goes to the world and says that the Shen family was destroyed by you, and the slave family was forced to death by you, it is estimated that it will not hurt you a single hair. Now that this is the case, can't you leave a little dignity for the slave family? Can't you let the slave die with dignity? Zhou Xiuying cried again, choked and whispered, her emaciated shoulders twitched, looking really pitiful.

Chen Xie smiled bitterly and said: "As for me, although I am very resentful, I hope to be kind to others." Sit down, let's talk slowly, you wipe away your tears, otherwise people will see it and think I'm bullying you. Saying that, Chen Xie handed over the tissue, Zhou Xiuying subconsciously took it, wiped her tears, and sat down to look at the guy in front of her who couldn't resist.

Uh, or maybe she's now running out of options, but to look at people's faces.

"The conditions of the Shen family are good, which is why I chose the Shen family as my partner in the first place. What about this cooperation, what is related to a big thing? Promote the process of industrialization development in the south of the Yangtze River. Forget it, I can't tell you clearly, you just have to do what I say. When Chen Xie found it difficult to explain, he chose a simple approach.

But Zhou Xiuying unexpectedly asked: "You better tell me carefully, the slave family is patient, and I want to know how I ended up in this field." (To be continued......)
