Chapter 161: Crisis

The next day, the shopkeeper Xu inquired into more detailed information that the other five larger tea shops in Yangcheng had secretly joined forces with Qian Zhuang to grab customers at a price lower than 30% of the prosperous times.

"There are few 'milk' and 'milk', but you have to find a way quickly." The shopkeeper Xu said anxiously: "Now, the merchants have not gathered, the news has not spread, and when the merchants from all over the world gather in Yangcheng to get the news, if we have not yet dealt with it, we will be defeated in this autumn tea order!" ”

Less than 30 percent? Qin Tian was secretly surprised when he heard the news. Although the profit of tea is high, there is almost no money to be made at this price. The owners of these tea shops are all old merchants, so they are naturally not stupid people, so how can they do things that harm others and themselves?

"Is the information reliable?" Qin Tian asked.

"Absolutely reliable, this is what I heard from an old businessman, he said that the five major tea shops had already sent someone to deliver a letter to him, and he didn't believe it yet, so he came to Yangcheng on purpose. As soon as he entered the city, someone from the five major tea shops approached him, and he acted very quickly. It's just that he is afraid that there will be fraud in it, so he has not decided yet. ”

Qin Tianshen 'groaned' for a while, and then said: "You will send someone to disguise yourself as a foreign tea merchant to contact the five major tea shops, and then report back after understanding the specific situation." ”

Two days later, Shopkeeper Xu reported the news that the situation was more severe than Qin Tian imagined, and she immediately summoned all the shopkeepers of the tea shop for a meeting to discuss how to deal with it. At the same time, I knew that everyone trusted the eldest lady more, and invited the eldest lady to the tea shop. Zhuang Xinchuan was also among the stewards as one of them.

In the hall of the inner courtyard of the tea shop, Qin Tian asked the eldest lady to sit in the right seat. The eldest lady resolutely refused in front of the tea shop staff, and just sat in the first seat on the left with Zhuang Xinyan.

"That's the position of the master, and now you are the head of the prosperous world!" The eldest lady said in front of everyone.

When the stewards distributed in the lower positions heard this, they all faintly 'revealed' disapproving expressions. Zhuang Xinchuan snorted coldly directly.

Qin Tian didn't see it or hear it, and asked Shopkeeper Xu to tell everyone the results of the investigation.

Shopkeeper Xu said the situation with a worried face,

"I followed the instructions of the 'milk' and 'milk' in charge, and found someone to pretend to be a foreign merchant to contact them. I thought that with such a low price, there must be a fake in it. Unexpectedly, the conditions given by the other party were no different from usual, and they dared to promise to pay ten for one fake, which shows that it is not a fraud. ”

After listening to the words of the shopkeeper Xu, the stewards all had a 'color' as black as the bottom of a pot, and in the end, they were all people who had seen the market, and no one had a 'pale' face that was 'panicked' and 'confused'. In addition to Zhuang Xinchuan, the young master, who had not paid attention to the affairs of the tea shop, first shouted: "If this is the case, the tea will not be worse than ours, but it is so much cheaper than us, how can our autumn tea be sold?" Then he looked at Qin Tian and said loudly: "Since the eldest lady trusts you so much, it can be seen that you have some skills, and now is the time for you to contribute to the tea shop!" I don't know how to deal with the 'milk' and 'milk' at home? ”

Hearing this, everyone looked at Qin Tian on the right position.

Qin Tian smiled slightly, unhurried: "Since you have summoned you here, it shouldn't be my word." I'd like to hear your opinion first. ”

Zhuang Xinchuan scoffed: "It's not that you haven't thought of a way to deal with it at all." ”

Everyone was silent, and some people shook their heads secretly. Obviously, I agree with Zhuang Xinchuan's statement from the heart. For Qin Tian, these people who were deeply rooted in the tea shop were not convinced, and even looked down on and despised them from their hearts, and they didn't think that Qin Tian would have a way to deal with it at this time.

Qin Tian ignored these and calmly said to these people, "If you have any opinions, just say them. ”

Seeing this, the stewards began to ignore Qin Tian and directly express their opinions to the eldest lady.

Li Er's shopkeeper was the first to speak, since Liu Er's shopkeeper, who was close to the second room, was resigned by Sheng Shi, Li's shopkeeper, who was originally the third shopkeeper, was promoted to the second shopkeeper. The position of the third shopkeeper is temporarily vacant. He looked at the eldest lady and said, "Madam, for the sake of today's plan, there are only two ways for us to go in the prosperous world, either stay put, or follow the price reduction." ”

Qin Tian watched Li Er's shopkeeper from the side. Shopkeeper Li is in his forties, with a full face, a kind appearance, and always a smile on his face, and now manages the lobby and is best at contacting guests. He was originally a slave of the Zhuang family, and later redeemed himself and became a good citizen, but he has always been loyal to the Zhuang family.

Shopkeeper Li continued: "The other party is obviously hurting people, this kind of business will not last long, we should give up this autumn tea business and wait for them to fail!" This is standing still. As for following the price reduction, there is no need for Li to explain. ”

As soon as his words fell, the shopkeeper Xu waved his hand and objected: "No, the loss of giving up autumn tea is too great, can Shopkeeper Li still remember last year, also because the business in autumn and winter is difficult to do, and it almost makes Shengshi unable to sustain?" This remark immediately drew the heeds of some people.

Last year's crisis still haunts everyone, and I really don't want to have a second experience.

"Yes, the autumn tea trade is related to the maintenance of the winter tea shop, if the autumn tea trade is abandoned, the maintenance of the autumn and winter seasons must use the profits of the first two seasons. Over the course of a year, there was little profit. The owner's losses are too great, and it is better to have another way. "The head of the bookkeeper Jiang said.

Seeing this, Zhuang Xinyan shook his head slightly, he looked at Qin Tian, saw that she was listening carefully, frowned slightly, obviously did not agree with this method. After Qin Tian noticed it, he looked over, and just met his gaze, and when he saw his 'show' of concern, he smiled slightly, indicating that he was very good.

Unexpectedly, this kind of small action fell into Zhuang Xinchuan's eyes, and his heart became angry namelessly, as if he was venting, and as if he was trying to attract Qin Tian's attention, he immediately shouted: "It's better to follow the price reduction!" They can hurt people with their own lives, can't we afford to hurt in our prosperous world? We'll fight them and let them know we're good! When they are defeated, no one in Yangcheng Tea House can compete with us anymore! ”

As soon as this remark came out, many people echoed it,

"Yes, no matter what, we can't afford to lose our merchants. At the same price, I believe everyone will still choose our prosperity. ”

"Yes, although there is no profit for the time being, it can show the strength of our prosperous life. The alliance of the five major tea shops has been broken, and there will probably be no such thing in the future. ”

Seeing that someone echoed him, Zhuang Xinchuan looked at Qin Tian very proudly, and when he saw that she didn't even look at him, he couldn't help but feel depressed and indignant.

However, there are also many people who oppose it, thinking that the decline is too large, and even if they win, their future business will be affected. For a while, two different opinions quarreled, and the hall was a 'mess'. After arguing for a while, there was no result, so they asked the eldest lady for her opinion. But he put the head Qin Tian aside.

Qin Tian didn't care, he took the teacup from his side and drank it leisurely.

Seeing this, Zhuang Xinchuan sneered and said: "Now that the master is the big and young 'milk' and 'milk', I should ask her for advice!" After speaking, he looked at Qin Tian's beautiful side, but saw that she was still ignoring herself, and her heart was even more resentful.

Dare to look down on him, he wants to see what she is capable of today!

Everyone looked at each other, and no one expressed confidence in Qin Tian. But the eldest lady smiled and said, "Xinchuan's words have gone to my heart." Qin Tian, now that everyone has said what they think, why don't you also talk about your thoughts. ”

Qin Tian put down the teacup in his hand, his gaze swept over the faces of the stewards, and saw that their eyes were flickering, obviously not having hope for her.

His eyes finally fell on Zhuang Xinyan's face, and he saw that he was looking at him and smiling, as if he was cheering her on. Qin Tian also smiled in return. She turned her head, looked at the steward, restrained her smile, and said, "If you want to ask me what I think, I don't think it's a good idea to stay still or follow the price reduction!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar, especially the shopkeeper Li who made these two suggestions, his face turned red almost instantly, he couldn't help but stand up, looked at Qin Tian and said loudly: "Why did the 'milk' and 'milk' of the head of the house say this?" There was almost a hint of anger in his tone.

She is just a teenage little 'girl' child, and she is still a domestic slave, what can she understand? When she was doing things in the tea shop, she was probably not born yet, and she even questioned his thoughts! If it weren't for the fact that she was a big little 'milk' and 'milk', he would almost say something ugly.

The rest of the *** were mostly seconders of the two suggestions, and they were also 'displeased' when they heard this. Only the shopkeeper Xu and the eldest lady had expectations.

Qin Tian looked at Shopkeeper Li, unhurried, and said calmly: "Shopkeeper Li, please take a seat." In terms of age, Shopkeeper Li is my elder, and in terms of experience, Shopkeeper Li is my senior. Whether it is an elder or a senior, they are all people that I Qin Tian sincerely respects. However, since everyone is discussing today, it is inevitable that there will be opposition and disagreement in their opinions. But we all know that everyone is bothering about the tea shop, if there is anything offensive in Qin Tian's words, please forgive Shopkeeper Li. ”

These words were extremely sincere, and they were also Qin Tian's heartfelt words. She really doesn't think that she has anything superior to her family, but she is also a high-level worker. These people are all old courtiers of the prosperous era, people who have real skills and are accustomed to seeing the world, unlike the subordinates in the house, using deterrence and intimidation will only bring the opposite effect. If you want to win their respect, you have to be sincere enough.

Hearing this, Shopkeeper Li's anger disappeared by half, he glanced at Qin Tian with some surprise, and sat down again. The rest of the people didn't expect the housekeeper's 'milk' and 'milk' to say such sincere words, and in addition to being surprised, they also had a little good feeling. Qin Tian had been staying in the tea-making room before, except for Master Feng, the steward of the tea-making room, the rest of the stewards were not familiar with her. Today, Master Feng did not come because he was sick.

"I don't know what the 'milk' and 'milk' of the house have?" Shopkeeper Xu said with a smile.

"I don't dare to do it." Qin Tian smiled slightly, stood up, and walked to the crowd. Such a close distance can be better to get close to them. She looked at them and was calm and composed: "I think everyone's thoughts are based on feeling that the other party hurts people and is not as strong as us. However, I don't understand, why do people have such confidence? Why do you think that the other party will not do this for long? On the contrary, I think it's a really good move for the other side. If we deal with it well, we will be able to turn defeat into victory, and if we deal with it badly......"

Speaking of this, Qin Tian's voice sank, word by word: "It's a whole game of losing!" ”
