Chapter 15: An Arrogant Attitude
Yicheng, Ningtai Commercial Bank
This is the oldest trading house in Yicheng, in Yicheng began to plant anchovy grass, this trading house began to deal with all the business related to anchovy grass in Yicheng, for 600 years, has not changed the address, although it has undergone several repairs, but still maintains the original appearance.
Perhaps this trading house is not the most luxurious and largest in Yicheng, but it is definitely the most famous and powerful trading house in Yicheng, because behind this trading house stands the ruler of the three southwestern states, Ning Wangfu.
Because Ning Tai Hong has always been in the business of anchovies, so in the beginning, it was only opened during the harvest season of anchovies, but as time went by, the storage technology of anchovies improved, and Ning Tai Xing also stored a large amount of anchovies, and the business continued for a full six hundred years.
Since 200 years ago, Ningtai Bank has more than 360 days a year, except for the five days of inventory, never closes, in the harvest season of anchovy grass, here is more people come and go, all night long, sleepless, but today, it is not the Ningtai Bank inventory, Ningtai Commercial Bank is closed.
The old black engraved gate is tightly closed, but behind the gate, it is lively and tight, almost all the big shopkeepers of Yicheng commercial houses are gathered here, in addition, there are also the boat bosses who go on the wharf of Yicheng, there are nearly fifty people gathered in the lobby of this Ningtai commercial bank.
Wang Guanlan looked at the excited crowd and felt confused, he has been coming to Yicheng for a whole month, and in the past month, Yicheng has been in trouble because of the price and freight of anchovy, but he, the actual person in charge of Ningtaixing, has not been revealed, very carefree!
Ningtai and other commercial banks have been in a stalemate, more and more phoenix grass backlogged, has formed an obvious unsalable phenomenon, because there is no business, nearly sixty percent of the ships on the wharf have also been suspended, the whole Yicheng, in a strange stalemate, until five days ago, Ningtai Xing ten cars of fresh anchovy grass transported to Ningwangfu, things have undergone subtle changes.
At this time, the ten cars of anchovy grass escorted, the meaning is a little unusual, you know, Yicheng Ningtaixing in addition to paying a part of the income to Ning Wangfu every year, but also responsible for the supply of Ningwang Mansion anchovy, but the supply is not much, a year is just one car, a large cart of anchovy grass is enough for Ning Wangfu to use a year and there is a surplus, but there has never been such a thing as now, escorting ten cars at once, enough for Ning Wang to use for more than ten years, although the medicinal effect of this anchovy grass can only be maintained for three years at most, and over time, the effect will gradually disappear, but if it is made into a pill in advance, it is another matterEven ordinary pills can be preserved for more than ten years, and some high-grade pills can even be preserved for more than a hundred years.
Therefore, Ning Taixing's move is regarded as seeking support from Ning Wangfu, of course, ten carts of phoenix tail grass, even if they can get support from Ning Wangfu, this support will not be too much, the hand is too small, and it seems a little childish.
But in any case, this can be regarded as a stalemate, Ning Tai Xing made the first move, you must know that the two sides in the stalemate balance, any small move, may break the already fragile balance, so, after learning of Ning Tai Xing's actions, almost all the commercial houses in Yicheng moved, putting pressure on Ning Tai Xing from all sides, wanting to force Wang Guanlan to negotiate.
Of course, this is also the way that these firms have no way, Wang Guanlan is completely different from the opponents they have encountered before, in many cases, he doesn't give you the opportunity to confront him at all, and he doesn't even meet you, just like this time, the firm sent a representative, wanting to negotiate with him about the price of medicinal materials, he sent Wang Qing a word to block back, the firm felt insulted, was despised, after coming back, they began to boycott Ning Taixing, in the past month, Ning Taixing's anchovy grass has not been sold, replaced by others have long been anxious, but Wang Guanlan is not in a hurry, ignore it, as if Ning Taixing was not driven by him, as for the things that the boat bosses on the Nushui River want to increase the freight, he did even more desperately, and directly changed the shipper with a single sentence, and completely threw this burden to the major commercial houses, of course the major commercial banks will not agree, but if they don't agree, they don't agree, but Wang Guanlan doesn't care about them at all, so that they have a thousand means, and there is nowhere to play.
Five days ago, Wang Guanlan transported phoenix grass to Ning Wangfu, they knew that this was an omen of Wang Guanlan's move, and they couldn't sit still anymore, and finally began to connect together, united with the boat boss, and used all kinds of means to put pressure on Wang Guanlan, sixty percent of the boats on the Nushui River stopped, a large number of goods were backlogged at the wharf and could not be transported, and the shops in Yicheng were half stopped。
Wang Guanlan can not give face to the merchants, and can hang all the commercial houses in the city on the dock to drink the northwest wind, but as a scholar and the representative of Ning Wangfu in Yicheng, he can't help but give Yao Yifei, the county order, face, so he reluctantly appeared in front of everyone today.
Wang Guanlan's appearance made the people who had been accumulating anger for more than a month seem to have a place to vent their anger, looking at this young man who looked like a thin young man who was easy to bully, and all of them looked a little unkind.
"I don't like their gaze!" Wang Guanlan looked at these people, a sneering smile flashed on his face, "It looks like they are forcing the palace!"
"Fourteen Shao, it seems that today's things are a little difficult to handle!!" Yao Yifei also felt the atmosphere in the hall, leaned over to Wang Guanlan slightly, and whispered.
"Don't worry, parents, it's no big deal, the students will solve it properly!!" Wang Guanlan said slightly.
"Okay, it's best to solve it properly!" Yao Yifei nodded, as the county commander of the city, of course he didn't want this kind of thing to happen, after all, he was the nominal ruler of the city, if something really happened, it would also have an impact on his performance.
"Okay, everyone, be quiet, be quiet!!" Seeing that everyone had arrived, and there was still a squeaky and crooked noise in the hall, Wang Qing walked to the front of the hall, cleared his throat, and shouted loudly, "Everyone be quiet, be quiet!"
The hall slowly quieted down, and their eyes were focused on Wang Guanlan, who was sitting on the chair, and Yao Yifei, who was next to Wang Guanlan, was ignored by the one who chose his surname.
"Okay, now that everyone has arrived, and the fourteenth young man is also here, what do you think and what requirements do you have, you can discuss with the fourteenth young man!!" Yuankang, a scribe in Tsing Yi, had been standing beside Yao Yifei, and when he saw that the surroundings were quiet, he said unyieldingly, after all, today's meeting was initiated by the county government.
Wang Guanlan had no objection to the county government presiding over this meeting, and when Yuankang finished speaking, there was a muttering sound below, as if he was discussing something, and after a while, he gradually calmed down, and seemed to have reached an agreement, only to see a fat middle-aged man slowly walking out of the crowd.
"This fat man looks a little familiar!" Wang Guanlan looked at the fat man who came out, feeling as if he had seen this guy somewhere.
"This is the original big shopkeeper of Ning Taixing, Weng Dingshu!!" Seeing the puzzled expression on Wang Guanlan's face, Wang Qing hurriedly stepped up and said.
"Oh!!!" Wang Guanlan suddenly remembered, this fat man was one of the ten shopkeepers he saw when he first came to Yicheng, and he was also one of the three shopkeepers who decided to leave later, he had never had the opportunity to see him again, he didn't expect to appear here, at this time, at this place, and then look at his flying expression, Wang Guanlan had an urge to kick his face.
"Weng Dingshu has seen fourteen young people!" The fat man staggered forward, and he was not rude, but that tone and expression really made Wang Guanlan very annoyed.
Syllable!!!
I saw that as soon as Wang Guanlan raised his foot, a white shadow flew out of his foot, and shot towards the fat man quickly, the fat man was fat, and he had only practiced several superficial internal skills for the sake of self-cultivation, where could he avoid Wang Guanlan's deliberate kick.
So, the white shadow was in the middle of Weng Dingshu's face, and the huge force knocked Weng Dingshu's fat body upside down, and he was heavily used to the ground, and his body collided with the ground with a dull smashing sound, and there was no sound anymore.
The whole lobby was silent!
Dozens of pairs of eyes looked at the two places in a daze, the ground where the fat man was lying and Wang Guanlan with one foot crossed, Wang Guanlan was not only with his feet crossed, but also not wearing shoes, his shoes were printed on Weng Dingshu's face.
Wang Guanlan glanced at Weng Dingshu, who had fallen to the ground and had passed out, a strange smile flashed on his face, and he glanced at the stunned everyone, "I don't want to talk to this bastard, you can talk to someone else!!"
There was a silence first, then a fluctuation, and after a while, someone came out of the crowd, this time, it was a little old man, a little thin, and his attitude was completely different from that of Weng Dingshu, with a gloomy face, trembling, and cautious.
"Don't be afraid, I don't know you, I won't do anything to you!" Wang Guanlan said gently, "I just don't like that Erwuzai!" Speaking of this, he glanced at the fat man again, "Don't drag him down, put him here to be a corpse!"
Before the words fell, Tiancheng and Tianyou flashed to the fat man's side and dragged him down.
"Okay, if you have anything to say, just say it!" Looking at this seemingly thin old man, a trace of coldness flashed in Wang Guanlan's eyes, Wang Guixi, the shopkeeper of Xinghexing, is not a character who can be frightened by a shoe!
Wang Guanlan was observing Wang Guixi, but he didn't know that Wang Guixi was also muttering to himself in his heart, secretly saying that this fourteenth young man was really not simple.
For this meeting, the major commercial houses in Yicheng have made full preparations, and even conducted deductions for every step and detail, and Weng Dingshu is the key link.
However, no one thought that Wang Guanlan would come out like this at the beginning, and all their plans were disrupted at once, whether it was a plan, a layout, the first step was always the most important, but before the first step was taken, his feet were cut off, if it was on other occasions, he even had the urge to leave, but now on such an occasion, he has no way to retreat, the only thing to be thankful for is that this time their plan is very thorough, and a group of people are also very united, no one knows better than him, in such a small place as Yicheng, how much strength will there be when their group of people unite。
