Chapter 255: Hoarding
Diancui met the two of them in a small teahouse.
"The villain visited Madame and apologized to Madame." As the saying goes, don't hit the smiling person when they reach out, and the two of them worship when they see a little cui.
But I heard Cui's young and clear voice sounding above their heads: "This is outside, the two of you should not be polite to attract people's attention." ”
When the two of them heard this, they sighed in their hearts, it seemed that Mrs. Yuan already knew about it, but she didn't expect Lord Yuan to tell her such a confidential matter. The status of this lady in Lord Yuan's heart can also be seen.
The two listened to Dian Cui's words, but they didn't dare to be polite for fear of attracting attention, so they sat down tremblingly.
Diancui served tea for the two of them, and the two looked at each other, this lady was very delicate and beautiful, with a hint of soft childishness, but looking at her bearing, she was down-to-earth and generous, and she was in her chest.
"The two of us are also dog-eyed and low-looking, I didn't think that the shopkeeper Liu was Mrs. Liu's person, and I made a mistake for a while, and now I have already regretted it, and I ask Mrs. to calm her anger." As they spoke, they pulled out a few silver tickets from their sleeves.
Diancui took it leisurely and took a look, five hundred taels of silver tickets, and counted them again, a total of ten. Diancui sighed, it's not easy to be a businessman, and when something happens, you have to use the silver to break the fortune and eliminate the disaster, there is no other way.
"Take the money back," Dian Cui no longer frightened the two of them, and said, "I know that as a businessman, I know that as a businessman, I will no longer bother with you." Of course, you can't take away your old raw silk right now. ”
"Madame...... "The two of them never expected this lady to say such a thing, everyone said that they had no worries about their food and clothes, but who understands the difficulties of doing business, in the early years, everyone was also self-made, and it is not easy to survive today.
Now these words came out of the mouth of this lady who did not look very old but had an extraordinary bearing, and it only made them sad and crying.
"Madame's words, I am ashamed, those old raw silk are not worth much silver." Especially this year's new silk is about to have a bumper harvest, and this old silk is even less valuable.
"Madame has called me both of you today, but what do you command? Whatever happens, I will serve them faithfully! And he called them and confiscated the five thousand taels of silver, thinking that he had something to command.
If these two were such righteous men, they would not have instructed the thief to steal her new silk. Diancui smiled slightly, businessmen are like this, half-truths and half-truths are very good at pleasing sweetness, she herself is the owner of Angelica Pavilion, she doesn't know about this set, but she won't be disgusted.
"Okay, I won't make you two smeared," Dian Cui said with a smile: "This time you two exchanged the old silk for my new silk, I made people look at it, saying that this old silk was also a high-quality product at that time." I heard that in addition to the two of you hoarding such raw silk in your hands, how many other silk merchants also have it? ”
The two didn't know why Mrs. was so concerned about those worthless old raw silk, but they also nodded honestly, saying that there were still a few raw silk in their hands that had never been shot.
"Then how about asking you two to come forward for me and sell all their old raw silk to me with those families?" Diancui Road.
"Madame!" The two of them were a little surprised, and when they saw that this lady was more eye-catching, they actually reminded kindly: "Even if those raw silk are woven into cloth, they are not as valuable as new silk cloth, and now that new silk is on the market one after another, the price is not expensive, and it is not cost-effective for you to buy old silk." ”
Dian Cui smiled and nodded, but he was noncommittal, and only asked again: "Those old raw silk are really worthless at this time, and you two may be able to buy them all with me at the price of one percent of the new silk?" ”
The two were surprised again, no matter how worthless this old silk is, it is difficult to buy it at a price of one percent, at least two percent.
Who knows Diancui and said slowly: "According to the current momentum, the output of new silk this year will definitely be very good, as long as the output of new silk is good, the price is low, and the old silk will be more difficult to buy." I have to wait until next year, and if this is the case next year, I am afraid that it will be difficult to sell at a price of 10%. It is better to sell this thing in your hand earlier, and when you get the money, you will buy some new silk to weave it into silk and sell it, and the silver will be doubled again, and even if you don't buy new silk, the profit of putting the silver in the business for two years will be a lot......"
Diancui said that the head is the way, and the two of them only sighed when they heard it, this lady looks like she is only twenty-eight years old, but she talks about this business doorway, and there is a prefect behind her to rely on, no matter what you do, how can it not be done?
"As long as you two can collect the old silk in their hands for me at this price," Dian Cui said, "I will also pay you the same price for those old silk of yours." ”
The old silk of the two warehouses, they thought that even if it was a gift to Diancui, they didn't expect that Mrs. was willing to buy it with silver, which was an unexpected joy. Jiuzhou Chinese
The two glanced at each other, nodded slightly, and said, "The two of us will definitely give Mrs. a pound of old silk." ”
Sure enough, in just ten days, three big boats were piled up with raw silk, and they went all the way from Taihu Lake to Hangzhou Mansion.
The wife of the prefect of Hangzhou is concerned about the old silk, and many people in Taihu Lake and other places know it, some people laugh behind their backs that women don't know how to do business, and some people sit and wait to see a good show.
At this time, of course, it also reached the ears of Master Cui of Jiangnan Weaving, and the two fools were arrested by Yuan Zhifu and sent to Hangzhou Prison, he secretly screamed in his heart, thinking that what he had done was going to be exposed, and Mrs. Cui secretly inquired about it in those days.
It's a pity that the tone on the side of the Hangzhou government is very tight, and there has been no movement, and the two fools have been released after some lessons. Later, Mrs. Yuan actually paid money to buy those old silks, which made him puzzled and breathed a sigh of relief. If Yuan Zhiheng really knew the true origin of this silk, how could he let his wife buy it wantonly.
Miss Cui saw that her father was in a good mood these days, and she changed her mind and no longer hindered her from going to Yuan's mansion to get close to Mrs. Yuan, she was very happy, I don't know why Mrs. Yuan always has a stable, calm, and unhurried strength, as if she is more serious than others.
However, in the past few days, Miss Cui went to Yuan's Mansion to look for some cui, but she rarely encountered it, and most of them were told by the little maid in the house that Mrs. went to the warehouse on the outskirts of the city. Miss Cui knew that she was in the raw silk business, but she only saw her buying but not selling, and she was very attentive these days, and she had to go to the warehouse almost every day.
Unable to find anyone, Miss Cui had to sigh and go back.
Let's talk about the days on the Cui side, and the time when the hail comes is getting closer and closer, and the requirements for the warehouse are getting tighter and tighter. In addition to the daily resurgence of moisture, Diancui also focused on taking people to inspect the roof, doors and windows, repairing and repairing to ensure that it was strong and firm.
Almost all of these dots are watched on the spot in person, and this serious energy makes Liu Shopkeeper and Miaozhu not only moved, but also moved.
A total of twenty large houses were rented, and the rooms were full of raw silk. Diancui invested all the silver earned by Angelica Pavilion this time. This resoluteness and inexplicable trust made Shopkeeper Liu and Miaozhu have a lot of pressure.
On that day, Dian Cui no longer went to the warehouse on the outskirts of the city, but woke up early, had breakfast with Yuan Zhiheng, and sent him to the front yamen to be on duty, and did not forget to stuff an oil-paper umbrella in his hand. When I came back, I sat in the courtyard and stared blankly at the sky.
Since the day before, it has been raining drizzly, and sometimes there is a strong wind at night. But today's sky is particularly gloomy, with clouds accumulating one after another, and from time to time there are a few rumbling thunders.
This kind of weather is very terrifying, like a big storm brewing, there are no pedestrians on the street early, and the whole Hangzhou city is quiet. Diancui waited in the courtyard from morning to noon.
"Madam, it's going to rain like this, it's damp and cold outside, let's go back to the house." Dongxue came to call her again.
Diancui shook her head, looked at the clouds gathered in the sky, and asked, "Have they all gone to the warehouse?"
"I've been there a long time ago, Xin'er, Du Xiaozhu, Shopkeeper Liu, Miaozhu, Rose, Yuan Lu, and other little guys have all gone. According to the instructions of the lady, he brought three days' worth of food. Dong Xue replied seriously: "Due to the bad weather in the shops and workshops these days, there are very few pedestrians on the streets, and the shops are closed early every day. ”
The original gray clouds on the horizon gradually began to change, and there was red behind the clouds, and for a time white, black, and red clouds were mixed together. It turned earthy yellow again, and the earthy yellow clouds tossed and turned like restless and irritable beasts.
This change is just a moment, Dongxue's face changed, and as the saying goes, "Yellow clouds are turning up and down, and ice eggs are about to be laid."
"Madame, let's get into the house quickly! It looks like hail! "Winter snow is older, and some life experience is more. Huang Yun was stirred like this, she still saw it once in a while when she was a child, but it was not as bad as this stirring, and that time it rained a lot of hailstones and smashed a lot of crops. But I didn't think that in the warm land south of the Yangtze River, there would be such a yellow cloud!
Diancui nodded silently, and as she returned to the house, Dongxue commanded the two little maids and two mothers-in-law left in the yard to hurriedly close the doors and windows.
Sure enough, after a while, the heavy rain came down. With lightning and thunder, hail the size of an egg crackled and crackled the ground.
This kind of hail fell for three whole days, affecting the entire Jiangnan area, but fortunately, the violent storms and rains in the past few days caused people and animals to hide in the houses without showing their heads, and there were basically not many casualties, and the rice was about to pass the harvest season, and it did not reach. The only thing that was wreaked havoc was the mulberry tree, the residual leaves and broken branches were all in a mess, and the mulberry fields were directly destroyed.
Nowadays, in the whole south of the Yangtze River, only the suburbs of Hangzhou and the counties under its jurisdiction have built protective sheds early to preserve the mulberry leaves.
