On the third day of the first month of June, the royal family's order was finally issued to the hands of each imperial merchant, this time it coincided with the 70th birthday of the old lady, and the things purchased in the palace were more numerous than before, and the most favored by everyone, the soap and perfume of the Supreme Commercial House, the demand was even more amazing. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Boss Zhou's speculation was indeed correct, among the orders obtained by the Supreme Commercial Bank, there were 300 bottles of perfume, 2,000 pieces of soap, and other things such as decontamination powder were not counted. After reading the order, Wu Zheng smacked his tongue: "Is this to drink perfume and eat soap, the quantity is too terrifying!" Later, after Zhao Qiaoer's reminder, I learned that there were as many as 10,000 women in the palace...... This amount of goods, except for those with noble status, is probably not available to ordinary women.

The royal order is limited to two months, and all goods must be handed over on time, without delay, indiscriminately, shoddy, or ...... In a word, complete the task quickly and on time.

Nowadays, there are two major problems in front of the Supreme Commercial Bank, one is manpower, and the other is raw materials. In this case, Wu Zheng can no longer adhere to the principle of preferring shortage to excess, just to prevent the recurrence of things that are secretly caused by others, patrols and hidden sentinels lurking among workers have been added to the factory, and the use of fire is strictly controlled. At the internal meeting, Ma San slapped his chest loudly, and even made a military order to ensure the safe production of the factory.

But the most troublesome thing for everyone is the raw materials.

Originally, several suppliers who had been working very happily suddenly asked for a price increase, but at first Pei Xinyuan did not tell Wu Zheng about it, he thought that it was a normal phenomenon brought about by this royal order, and a reason why prices would rise during the festival.

But three days later, the situation began to take a disturbing turn, and Pei Xinyuan felt that things were not as simple as he thought, so a report on the matter was sent to Wu Zheng.

"Price increase?" Wu Zheng looked at the report, "This price...... It's three times the original price, and these guys really dare to ask for it. ”

Pei Xinyuan said: "I originally thought it was a normal price fluctuation, but they raised the price three times in a row, I think there must be something strange in it, it should be the result of some people's secret operation, we must come up with a response plan, otherwise it will be too passive." Some of the people he was talking about were the "friends" in the Warm Fragrance Pavilion that day.

Wu Zheng took out a letter from a paper bag on the bookshelf and handed it to Pei Xinyuan, saying, "A few days ago, Kang Ji sent a letter, which was written by Kang Lao, and the old man reminded us to guard against those guys, which focused on Ning Zhen of Ning Mansion...... It was the Ning official who was in cahoots with the Dragon and Tiger Alliance. ”

"I have secretly sent someone to investigate this person, and his experience is quite legendary. 's mother was originally a maid in Ningfu, but she was later taken by the then head of Ningfu and became a concubine, and the child she gave birth to was Ning Zhen. Because of their status, the status of their mother and son in Ning Mansion is not high, and they can even be said to be looked down upon. However, Ning Zhen is very different from ordinary children, he did not give up on himself, but has been holding back. It wasn't until later, when the Ning Mansion encountered a crisis and everyone was at a loss, that he stood up and used admirable means to help the family get through the difficulties, thus gaining the trust of the head of the family and turning over. ”

When Wu Zheng heard this, he secretly said in his heart: "This guy won't come through, this is a standard YY novel routine......"

Pei Xinyuan continued: "But this person's heart is too narrow-minded, and he has not let go of any of those who have offended and humiliated him, which can really be described as ruthless." It's just that I don't quite understand, why did he deal with us again and again? I don't remember offending him. "Lin Xuehong's divorce incident, Wu Zheng didn't mention it to him, so he didn't know about it.

Wu Zheng shrugged: "This is all a bloody case caused by a marriage letter......

Ning Mansion, back study.

The six senior managers of the Ning Mansion and several other leaders of large commercial houses were sitting around a table, and it was Ning Zhen who was sitting on the upper seat, holding a royal order in his hand, which Boss Zhou had obtained from the Department of Internal Affairs, and the content of this order was exactly the same as what Wu Zheng saw.

"I have already said hello to the few that the Supreme Firm often buys, and they don't dare to disobey our Ning Mansion's order, as long as the Supreme Firm accepts the price increase, they will continue to rise until the Supreme Firm can no longer afford it." A senior governor of the Ning Mansion said.

"I also sent someone to Hedong Town, although their firm is a competitor to us, but after I told them our conditions, they also agreed, if the Supreme Firm wants to buy goods from Hedong Town, they will definitely be disappointed." Another manager reported the situation to Ning Zhen.

After hearing this, Boss Zhou praised with a smile: "Ning Gongzi's series of actions will definitely make Wu Zheng anxious, without raw materials, he will not be able to produce normally, even if he is willing to hemorrhage to buy the raw materials back, the Supreme Commercial Bank will definitely go bankrupt because of this, what a good strategy!" The others chimed in.

Ning Zhen said indifferently: "It is not my goal to bring down Wu Zheng. He paused and continued, "The secret recipe in his hand is what I care about the most, and if I can get the secret recipe, it won't take so much trouble." ”

"It's best to let him hand over the secret recipe by himself......" Ning Zhen looked at the order in his hand and said softly.

On June 11, the delivery date of the royal order was suddenly brought forward.

"They said that the palace should hold a celebration in advance, and the old queen mother should give gifts to all the concubines in the harem, so the delivery date must be fifteen days in advance!" Pei Xinyuan slammed his fist on the table, and the conference room was dull and depressing, and a desperate atmosphere filled it.

"I knew this was the case, this imperial businessman...... Don't do it! Pei Xinyuan's voice was full of remorse, but this could not solve the crisis in front of him.

Wu Zheng frowned and asked in a deep voice, "Did the salesman who released him reply?" Liu Banxian, who was in charge of this matter, replied: "Fifteen of the twenty people have come back so far, Hedong Town will not work, the asking price is higher than ours, and other surrounding areas are not optimistic." The other five went to the farthest area, so haven't heard back yet. ”

"Can't wait...... It is estimated that there will be no good news either. Wu Zheng closed his eyes and took a deep breath, "They have already thought ahead of us and blocked all the roads." The bottom of the kettle draws salary, thirty-six plans are a good game! ”

Pei Xinyuan said: "The top priority is to find a low-price source as soon as possible, otherwise we will have to go bankrupt if we buy it like this." Otherwise, I'll go back to those houses tomorrow and have a good talk with them......"

“…… Not necessarily. ”

Pei Xinyuan was stunned for a moment and asked, "Helper, what did you say?" Wu Zheng stood up, stretched, he pushed open the door, the sunlight outside the house poured in, he stood in the light, and said: "Since people don't want us to be imperial merchants, let's give them imperial merchants, and if you want the secret recipe for perfume and soap, let's give them too!" ”

"Just give us a way to live, hehehe!" Wu Zheng put on a pitiful look, but there was a cunning light flashing in his eyes.
