Chapter 69: The Tong Family Sisters and Brothers
The Tong family is also the home of the wealthy merchants in Baihong Town, and Tong Xin is the eldest lady of the Tong family, because the Tong family is a tea business, it is one of the best existences, and the richest man in Baihong Town is also involved in this business, although he did not deliberately embarrass the Tong family, but in addition to the tea merchants who have a close relationship with the Tong family, the rest of the tea merchants are of course very willing to cooperate with the richest man in Baihong Town.
After all, the richest man is the richest man, even if he doesn't do anything, just let out some signs, which makes the businessmen in Baihong Town become honestly afraid, especially the family that does the same business as the richest man.
The Tong family's business has actually declined a little in recent years, the main reason is that the head of the Tong family has died, and now it is Tong Xin who is in charge of the business, of course she does not have the courage of her father, although it did not cause the Tong family to be directly killed, but it has indeed been going downhill.
And if the richest man in Baihong Town is also involved in the tea business, then most of the tea merchants will flock to it, then the Tong family's business will become even more bleak, if there is not enough tea supply, and there are fewer and fewer customers, sooner or later they will have to withdraw from this stage.
Only by showing greater sincerity can the Tong family retain those tea merchants.
And a new path must be taken, but all this requires silver.
The Tong family does not have its own tea-making process, and the current capital turnover is not open, not to mention the current Tong family, even the Tong family in its heyday does not dare to compare with the richest man in Baihong Town who has more silver.
Tong Xin didn't think about wrestling with the richest man in Baihong Town, she just wanted to protect the Tong family's business and not plummet, and although the Tao family couldn't fight the richest man in Baihong Town, if it came to the business of the winery, it could also compete with the richest man in Baihong Town, and Tao Shi and the head of the Tong family had a good relationship, and the only person Tong Xin could ask for help was Tao Shi.
At least the Tao family can still fight with the richest man in Baihong Town in some aspects, if it is just to protect the Tong family, it is not difficult to stand on the opposite side of the richest man in Baihong Town.
But according to Tao Shi's attitude at the moment, he didn't seem to want to help the Tong family.
This made Tong Xin a little flustered.
She didn't stay at the Tao Family Winery for long, but returned to Tong's house, thinking about how much benefit she had to release in order to make Tao Shiyi move.
Tong Xin also has a younger brother, named Tong Lu, it stands to reason that the inheritance of the family business must be placed on Tong Lu, but Tong Lu is still young, and he doesn't know how to do business, although Tong Xin doesn't know much, but at least at present, it is much stronger than Tong Lu, she can only do her best to keep the Tong family first, and then cultivate Tong Lu's ability to do business, so as to hand over the power to Tong Lu in the future.
Now it is nothing more than to please the Tao family, as long as the Tao family is willing to help, the Tong family will still have a chance to live, but how to please is not easy.
Tong Xin was not very willing to give up much profit from the Tong family's business to the Tao family, but in addition, she couldn't think of any other way to let the Tao family help the Tong family at the risk of offending the richest man in Baihong Town.
She was caught between a rock and a hard place.
......
In the Broken Alley.
There was a teenager who stopped.
The lonely mountaineer pushed open the courtyard door, stared at him, and said, "Are you in a bad mood?"
The young man's expression was full of hesitation, and he said: "There have been some changes in the family, and I am afraid that I will not be able to bring tea to the old man in the future." ”
The lonely mountain guest said lightly: "You are pure and good-natured, you are a jade, and you often go to the dilapidated alley to drink tea and chat with me, an old man, I also know your heart, once with the protection of the elders, you can do whatever you want, but now you have to know what you should do." ”
The boy said melancholy: "I'm very confused now. ”
Lonely mountain guest said: "Young people will always have a time of confusion, but also the only way for you to grow up, if you are as always heartless, it will be difficult to become a big tool, find a way out of confusion, be sure of what you want, what to pay for this, and unswervingly go on, this is your mental journey, outsiders can not help you." ”
There was a hint of brilliance in the young man's eyes, but he quickly fell silent, and he waved his hand at the lonely mountain guest and said, "Old man, take care of your body, I'll go first." ”
When the young man was a little lonely, Xiao Zhinan stood behind the lonely mountain guest and said softly: "Why did the senior of the lonely mountain talk so seriously about that young man?"
The lonely mountaineer said: "It's just a confused teenager, his character is indeed very good, if it weren't for the lack of cultivation qualifications, in fact, I would really like to accept him as an apprentice." ”
Xiao Zhinan looked at the young man's back and thought silently, even if he didn't have cultivation qualifications, if he could get the appreciation of the lonely mountain guest, he would not just be an unknown person, he would definitely be able to become a leader in a certain aspect and achieve something.
......
Tong Xin waited anxiously in the mansion, she raised her eyes and saw the young man walking in outside the mansion, and said with hatred: "Now that the Tong family is in danger, you are going to the broken alley to find the old man again?
Tong Lu was very upset and said: "The old man is not a bad old man, he is very good to me and teaches me some truths." ”
Tong Xin sneered and said: "If he really understands any truth, why does he stay in the dilapidated alley?" I'm afraid it's difficult to even have food and clothing, you are the young master of the Tong family, and all the business of the Tong family will be handed over to you to take care of in the future, with your kind of heart, I'm afraid that I will be deceived, and I have to help you count the money!"
"If that old man doesn't love tea, if he doesn't know your identity, do you think he will be willing to take care of you?
Tong Lu's face was ugly, but he respected his sister and didn't dare to refute it too much, so he could only remain silent.
In fact, the acquaintance of Tong Lu and the lonely mountain guest has nothing to say.
In addition to playing with those old neighbors in the dilapidated alley, the lonely mountain guest also often wanders on the street, and also met Tong Lu by chance, just because the lonely mountain guest was thirsty, Tong Lu gave the lonely mountain guest a cup of tea, and the old and the young were acquainted.
Lonely Mountain Guest has some appreciation for Tong Lu and it only appeared under a long period of communication, Tong Lu is pure in nature, of course it is very cute in the eyes of the elderly, and many children in Baihong Town recognize Lonely Mountain Guest, Tong Lu is only a slightly older child, and there is no difference.
Just because of the kindness of the lonely mountain guest, let De Tonglu remember his grandfather who loved him very much when he was a child, and he also felt very kind to the lonely mountain guest, and occasionally sent some tea, and it was also very close.
Sending tea to the lonely mountain guest is his original intention, not like my sister said, it is the lonely mountain guest who has an attempt, just to cheat the tea from him, even if Tong Lu is pure and has no crooked thoughts, but he is not a fool, if the lonely mountain guest really has any intentions, how can he not see it.
But Tong Xin didn't care what Tong Lu was thinking, she was visiting Tao Shi unsuccessfully, her mind was already very irritable, and her younger brother didn't know how to help the Tong family through the crisis, but ran into the dilapidated alley, which made her feel physically and mentally exhausted.
"Xiaolu, you are the only son in the family, and you carry the entire Tong family on your back, do you want to watch the Tong family go into decline? Are you worthy of your father and mother? Are you worthy of your grandfather?"
"It's time for you to grow up, too. ”
Tong Lu was also moved, in fact, Tong Xin had already reached the age of marriage, if he had to help his younger brother manage the family business, these things should fall on Tong Lu alone, his sister paid a lot for this, Tong Lu naturally knew very well in his heart, thinking that he had a bad attitude towards his sister just now, he felt a little guilty in his heart.
"Sister, don't worry, I won't let you down, what you want me to do, I'll do it. ”
Tong Xin rubbed Tong Lu's head and said with relief: "That's fine, now we can only count on the Tao family, but Tao Shi is also the master who doesn't see rabbits and eagles, we must do what he likes and let him help our Tong family." ”
"You are the future head of the Tong family, you go with me to see Tao Shi, no matter what conditions he has, as long as we can do it, we can only save the Tong family by agreeing to him. ”
Tong Lu said with some puzzlement: "Even if the Ma family, the richest man in Baihong Town, wants to get involved in the tea art business, they have never said that they want to exterminate us and monopolize the tea art business, and our Tong family still has some tea merchants who are willing to continue to cooperate with us, why do you have to ask the Tao family?"
"If you do your own thing with peace of mind, although the Tong family will decline, it will not be too difficult, but once you oppose the Ma family, our Tong family will really suffer. ”
Although Tong Xin was very pleased that Tong Lu could think of so much, she still said: "Where do you know about things in the business field, the Ma family has never been involved in the tea art business, why are you showing this matter, but there is no action?"
"The Ma family is the richest man in Baihong Town, and the business they want to get involved in must be very wide, and my Tong family is one of the best in the tea art business in Baihong Town, how can the Ma family live under my Tong family. ”
"It's a matter of time before I attack my Tong family, and we can't feel safe just because the Ma family has no action now, and being prepared is the king. ”
Tong Lu really didn't understand this, although he felt that his sister was thinking too much, but it was also quite reasonable, so he didn't say anything more, but followed his sister and went to visit Tao Shi again.
At this time, Li Mengzhou also happened to come to Taojia Winery.
A guy from the winery came forward and said with a smile: "This son, but you want to buy wine?"
Li Mengzhou smiled indifferently and said, "You Boss Tao are here, I'm going to talk about big business, I'm afraid you can't call the shots." ”
The winery guy didn't doubt him, mainly because Li Mengzhou's dress was indeed extraordinary, he didn't dare to slack off, even if he led Li Mengzhou to the cabinet and let Li Mengzhou wait a while, he went to talk to Tao Eleven.
And Tao Shi heard that there was a big business coming to the door, and he also greeted him with a smile in person.
