When Pei Xinyuan's lecture was finished and the young people in the lobby dispersed, the meeting in the living room ended. The old man surnamed Kang, who had come to visit www.biquge.info earlier, walked out of the living room, and his face seemed to be covered with a layer of gray color.

Wu Zheng followed behind and sent it out, and Kang Qian arched his hand: "Don't work for Wu to help the master send it away, and the old man will leave." Wu Zheng also smiled and arched his hand: "Old Kang walks slowly." Then he watched them leave.

Pei Xinyuan walked over and said, "How are you talking?" I know that this Kang Qian is not very easy to speak, after all, Kang Ji Rouge is very famous in Hexi Town and even in the whole of Fengzhou, and it can be regarded as one of the best merchants. Doing business with a small household like ours will inevitably be more arrogant, and it is common to put on a face or something. He paused, and continued to comfort: "It doesn't matter if he doesn't agree to reduce the price this time, I'll visit him in person in a few days, bring more gifts or something, and maybe he will agree to say some small things, so you don't have to take today's matter to heart, everything will be fine......"

It is common for small businessmen to be oppressed by large merchants, and their own veins are held in the hands of others, so how can there be room for resistance? Naturally, people say that one is one, and two is two. Otherwise, all insidious means such as out-of-stock and money deduction will be used against you, making you have a hard time.

The business of the Supreme Gang has been very good recently, but the scale is still too small, compared with large merchants like Kang Kee, it is like sesame seeds and watermelons, and almost all the rouge in the rouge shop is purchased from Kang Kee.

Pei Xinyuan didn't see the angry and depressed look on Wu Zheng's face, he thought that the young man was forcing these emotions down in his heart and refusing to show them in front of outsiders. Young people are a little high-spirited, and they are unwilling to admit defeat in some things, and they don't want to be seen as a failure. So his words were very tactful, just for fear of hurting Wu Zheng's self-esteem.

"It has been negotiated, and the purchase price will be reduced by 30%, but all the rouge of the Supreme Gang will have to be purchased from Kang Kee in the future, hmph, this old man is quite a ghost." Wu Zheng escaped from his arms and handed a contract to Pei Xinyuan.

Pei Xinyuan was stunned for a moment, then took it and looked at it carefully, the hand holding the paper was trembling slightly: "How did you do it?" God, three percent! You know how much we have to reduce our expenses each month, it's net income! ”

Wu Zheng looked at Pei Xinyuan, who was very excited, and said with a smile: "I know, I can save about 5,000 taels a month, just because I made money, I showed him the lipstick I just developed a few days ago." Originally, I wanted to wait for the lipstick to be mass-produced before having a showdown with him, but since he came to the door, I could only take it out first to scare him, hehehe. ”

"Lipstick?" Pei Xinyuan's eyes widened, and he looked at Wu Zheng like a madman: "Did you tell Kang Qian that you want to use lipstick instead of rouge?" You're crazy, lipstick can't be mass-produced at all now, and there are a lot of problems, and it will take at least half a year to sell this thing......"

Wu Zheng shrugged: "I have no choice, if I don't take out the killer weapon, that old guy won't let go at all!" So I had to try my luck, but fortunately my eloquence was not bad, and the old guy was fooled by me, thinking that our factory could produce lipstick in large quantities. He was afraid that the appearance of lipstick would affect his family's rouge, so he couldn't wait to reduce the price in exchange for the delay in the launch of lipstick. ”

Pei Xinyuan said anxiously: "Helper, you are confused, our lipstick will definitely be very popular, how can you promise Kangqian to delay the listing?" We'd rather not let him cut the price than affect our lipstick launch plan. You're losing a lot because of a small thing! Wu Zheng smiled: "Don't worry, how can I do this kind of loss-making business?" I have calculated, it will take at least half a year for the lipstick to be listed, so I promised Kangqian that the lipstick will not be listed in half a year. Pei Xinyuan breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, but then remembered something and asked eagerly, "What about lipstick?" What about the lipstick you showed him? ”

Wu Zheng flipped his right hand, and lipstick appeared in the palm of his hand: "Don't worry, I have long seen that the servant brought by the old man is not an ordinary person, and the technique is really sharp, but it still hasn't escaped my eyes." "Just now, I not only got back the lipstick with my clever hands, but also came back with a hundred taels of silver tickets from that person by the way, well, go back to Zhao Qiao'er and let her give alms to those beggars.

"There was a fire! There was a fire! The factory is on fire! A gang member stumbled in from outside the gate, Wu Zheng and Pei Xinyuan were startled and hurriedly went up to ask. The gang said: "Half an hour ago, there was a sudden fire in the No. 1 workshop, and Elder Ma ordered me to come back to report the news, and I took someone to fight the fire." Wu Zheng's face was gloomy, and he said in a deep voice: "Let's go, go and see!" ”

The local government has a "latent fire team" to extinguish fires, and there is a similar organization called "Yoshisha" in the private sector, but the reaction speed and ability to extinguish the fire are far from those of modern fire brigades, and from the time the fire is discovered to the time the fire is extinguished, everything is generally almost burned. Therefore, in this era, once a fire occurs, it will definitely be a heavy loss, or even bankruptcy.

Wu Zheng's factory has only been open for less than two months, not many people know about it, and it is still far from the city. Although Wu Zheng was equipped with various simple fire extinguishing tools in the workshop at the beginning of the design, these things were a drop in the bucket in the face of the raging fire and could not solve any problems.

If the thing is burned out, Wu Zheng is not afraid, he can build it again, but if people burn it to death, the problem will be serious. Some people may think that it is enough to lose a few dollars, but Wu Zheng can't get by here, he can't see other people's families ruined and their wives separated, not to mention that it has something to do with him. So what he is most concerned about now is whether anyone has been killed.

From a distance, he saw a straight column of smoke rising from the direction of the factory, Wu Zheng glanced at it and relieved himself, the fire should have been controlled. Because the color of the smoke column is very light, it means that nothing is burning, otherwise the color of the smoke column will be jet black.

After several people rushed to the factory, Ma San and the workers of the factory were sitting on the ground resting, after more than an hour of fighting, the fire was finally extinguished, although the No. 1 workshop has been completely burned out, but fortunately, there are no casualties.

Wu Zheng nodded to Ma San and the others to show that he had worked hard, and then covered his nose and walked into the No. 1 workshop that had been burned down. The entire workshop has been burned clean, leaving nothing useful.

For this fire, Wu Zheng's judgment is man-made! The reason is very simple, the No. 1 workshop is an ingredient warehouse to put it bluntly. Newly purchased ingredients are stored here, then sent to Workshop 2 for sorting and processing as needed, and finally sent to Workshop 3 for processing. Therefore, the most likely place for a fire should be workshop 3, where an open flame needs to be used to refine caustic soda.

No one smoked in those days, and there was no such thing as cigarette butts causing fires. The lighting in the No. 1 workshop is good, and the work stops after dark, and there is no problem of oil lamps catching fire. So the possibility of being artificial is very high, so the question is, who is the murderer?

Pei Xinyuan picked up something from another pile of rubble, and then handed it to Wu Zheng, it was a half-burned fire fold, it seemed that it was the tool of the crime.

The grizzled Ma San angrily jumped to his feet and scolded: "Grandson Turtle, Lao Tzu caught you and hung you to death!" Seeing Ma San's fierce and vicious appearance, everyone couldn't connect with the usually kind-hearted Elder Ma, this time, Ma San was really angry. The Supreme Gang finally got a little better, but I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen, listen to the meaning of the young gang leader, it was the ghost who did it! Damn, if this kind of person catches it, he has to hang it up and whip it a hundred times, and then tie a stone and sink it into the old Hunhe River!

Wu Zheng's face was as dark as the sky when the sun was setting. He stood with Pei Xinyuan and Ma San to discuss, and then Ma San and a few loyal and reliable helpers closed the gate of the factory tightly, and everyone else was gathered in the courtyard of the factory.

Wu Zheng and Pei Xinyuan walked into the "office" of the factory, and after a while, a gang member was called in, and he walked out again after half a pillar of incense kung fu, and another gang member was called in, and so on and so forth, until someone called Xu Yantong's name.

PS: It's in good shape today, and I'll send another chapter at 17 o'clock!
