Liu Fu has indeed had a big incident recently.

This year's tea harvest is lost, and the demand for tea in the tea market is particularly large, so orders from all over the country continue to float. And because the brothers have not yet tacitly agreed, or because there is no leader, so the various branches continue to sign contracts, and finally when they are summarized, it is found that all the supplies add up to not enough for customers.

Now it's troublesome, because if you sign a contract, you have to pay if you want to terminate the contract.

And the largest order is Chen Laosan, a businessman from the south.

This Chen Laosan, who has never ordered goods in Liu's house before, is a new customer, and Liu An is responsible for negotiating back, the order is very large, 100,000 quintals, and the freight is halved, and the Cao Gang is responsible for transportation. When the final shipment was made, the individual orders were counted and it was found that it was only enough to supply half of the total orders.

In other words, it is necessary to push a part of the order. Because when Liu An signed the contract, he had stated in the contract that if he did not deliver the goods on time, he would pay the same value of silver, that is to say, if this business could not be done, he would lose 100,000 quintals of tea money.

It's just that you can't push other old customers, because it's a long-term cooperative relationship, trust is there, and if old customers lose confidence, this business can't be done.

And the southern and Song kingdoms, because of the southern princess and relatives, so the opening of trade between the two countries, this is a new beginning, the Liu family, as the richest man, naturally can not be discredited, otherwise, let the southern people lose confidence, the court will not give up. Moreover, Chen Laosan's attitude is very resolute, he doesn't want silver, he wants goods.

The news of the shortage of goods in the Liu family also spread throughout the capital almost overnight, and customers asked to fulfill the contract for delivery.

When the old man was in power, the Liu family did not have much money left due to the rapid development, and if they wanted to pay such a large sum, they had to sell part of the land and tea plantations.

The Liu family held an emergency meeting, and the two masters were silent, and they couldn't settle such a situation.

Liu Qin also blamed himself, Yin Le handed over the heavy responsibility to others, but he made the store lose so much in just one month, if it was just a loss of money, it would be idle, and the businessman was most afraid of losing his reputation. This word reputation, the old man has been in business all his life, and he has a good reputation, but he didn't expect that not long after him, he was all lost by them.

In business, the national tea plantations have lost their harvest, and the tea market is greatly out of stock, and Liujia tea can still maintain half of the production, which is good. And if the tea garden loses its harvest, the price of tea must be extremely high, so in the year of the lost harvest, the Liu family can make a lot of money. However, now he did not take advantage of the advantage, but lost money, which made Liu Qin unable to forgive himself.

Therefore, at the meeting, he said heavily: "This time I am facing such a big crisis, it is all my fault that I did not coordinate the upper and lower levels, and the responsibility should be borne by me." ”

After going through so many things, the Liu family has become much more united than before, so after listening to Liu Qin's words, everyone comforted Liu Qin.

Liu An said: "It's no wonder that big brother, who would have thought that this year would be such a situation?" Now it's useless to blame anyone, and you have to find a way to remedy it. ”

Liu Qi pondered for a while and said: "The gold shop has made a lot of money this year, and this silver can be taken out first to pay part of the compensation, but it's just that the various points that grandpa invested when he was alive have not yet made a profit, and he has to continue to invest funds, I'm afraid we won't be able to draw so much silver for a while." ”

Liu Jidi had a sad face and said, "Could it be that you really want to sell your land?" ”

"It's just that not long after Grandpa left, we were reduced to selling our land, and Grandpa knew about it, but I was afraid that we would be angry!" Liu Qin was sad.

"If the silver is gone, we can make it again, but this time, the reputation of our Liu family will be lost, and I am afraid that it is a huge project to let customers rebuild their confidence in us!" Liu An sighed. After a pause, he suggested again: "In this matter, it is better to discuss it with the queen mother, perhaps, she has a way and has not yet decided." ”

Liu Run raised his eyes and said lightly: "Not long after the queen mother entered the palace, the foundation is not stable, we can't help it, and we still want her to bother us, is it reasonable?" ”

Liu Qin said: "I heard that Niangniang was targeted by the Queen Mother in the palace, and she was not happy, she really couldn't trouble Niangniang anymore." ”

Liu An said worriedly: "But without my aunt and grandmother, we seem to have no backbone, and we can't do anything well, this matter, no matter how much we try to find a way, we can't solve it, those people in the Tea Merchants Alliance, although they are all willing to give us support for the sake of grandpa, but they are only talking about it, and now there is no action, to put it bluntly, everyone is waiting to see our jokes." ”

"Uncle Chen's side also ordered someone to pass the word, but in the end, he remembered that we had set up the queen's power that day, and he didn't trust us very much. Liu Qi is talking about Chen Duda, Yin Le once found his grandson for him, and when Liu Jidi and Liu Jiyu seized power, he was very angry and felt that the Liu family was ungrateful.

"However, we can't go to her when something happens, we as mothers, we can't help her enough, and we have to make trouble for her, and everyone doesn't know her temper, although her mouth is not forgiving, but her heart is soft, and she will definitely try her best to run for us. But now that her identity is different, the palace rules are placed there, and she can't go too far, otherwise, once the queen mother is pressed down, she will only suffer! Liu Qin sighed.

I was at a loss, and after the meeting, I was even more sad.

The men are worried, and the women are also worried.

Jiang Junxia and Yan Hui also knew something, they were locked in the room and discussed for most of the day, knowing that this matter was not trivial. Losing money is a small matter, offending the people in the south, I am afraid that people will make trouble, and the reputation of the Liu family will not be said anymore, I am afraid that even the court will condemn the Liu family.

Yan Hui finally said: "Otherwise, let's go into the palace and discuss it with the queen." ”

Jiang Junxia knew that Yan Hui could say this, and there was no way to think about it. She pondered for a while and said, "Otherwise, let's enter the palace together and see what is going on over there before deciding whether to tell her about it." ”

Yan Hui also agreed.

It's just that in the evening, at the dinner table, Yan Hui put forward her own ideas. As soon as Liu An entered the door, he hung his head and said dejectedly: "Don't enter the palace, I just received the news that the queen mother was grounded by the queen mother!" ”

Everyone was stunned and looked at each other.

Yan Hui asked urgently, "What's wrong?" Why was it grounded? How is the lady now? ”

Liu An sat down and said in a deep voice: "I don't know very well, I can't do it today, I'll go to Hu Jie, Hu Jie's younger brother is a guard in the palace, and I want to inquire about the news in the palace, Hu Jie told me that Niangniang was grounded by the Queen Mother, as for the reason, he doesn't know much." ”

Yan Hui sighed, "Then what is it now?" Did you say how long the lockdown lasts? Let's go into the palace and take care of it, so that she can suffer less. ”

Liu An said: "I have already explained this to Hu Jie, he said to find a way, but, after all, it was ordered by the Queen Mother, but I am afraid that it will not be easy to get it." ”

No one can eat this meal. One is prosperous, one is lost, this moment has finally come true!
