Chapter 16: Anger among the masses

"This time, I really have to come to disturb the Fourteenth Young Man and the County Lord!" "The shopkeeper Wang showed a distressed look, "It's really because the business I am waiting for can no longer be maintained, so I want to ask the Fourteenth Young Man for a favor, so that the price of anchovy grass can be lowered, so that I can wait for a way to live!"

"Oh, this is a new thing, you can listen to it carefully!" Without waiting for Yao Yifei to speak, Wang Guanlan waved up, revealing an interested look.

Wang Da's palms tightened, but he didn't panic, and he talked eloquently, straight for half an hour, the more Wang Guanlan listened, the more ancient he became, how did things seem to be like those monopoly departments in his previous life held price increase hearings, but these people are much more prepared than those hearings, much more sufficient, and more sincere, at least they will not take a few bad debts as registered accounting statements.

The old man was not in a hurry, and slowly finished explaining all the reasons, and stood there a little cramped, looking a little uneasy and nervous.

"Pretend, you pretend!" Wang Guanlan looked at the old boy's performance, scolded the old fox in his heart, and the smile on his face gradually cooled down with his words.

"You're done?!" After a pause, Wang Guanlan asked, "Nothing more to add?!"

"That's basically the case!" said the old shopkeeper quietly, he said everything that should be said, but as for what the final outcome will be, it is not something he can control.

"It's good, it's reasonable, well-founded, the data is clear, the reasons are sufficient, the analysis is sufficient, it's very good!" Wang Guanlan nodded and said, looking as if he was appreciating, at this time, Lu He took a new pair of shoes to help him put them on, he nodded with satisfaction, and the words changed, "However, I don't agree, I won't drop the price of anchovy, and I won't drop a child and Shunhexing Xinghexing, I don't care if you buy in other places, you want to buy in my Ningtai, the price must be increased by one percent, so it's set!"

After finishing speaking, Wang Guanlan simply raised his legs and got up, and smiled at Yao Yifei, the county commander, "Lord County, I just made some good tea yesterday, how about tasting it together?!"

Rao is Yao Yifei is an old Jianghu, and he was a little stunned by Wang Guanlan, a guy who didn't play cards according to the rules at all, and was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly, "Okay, I have long heard that Yun Liqing in the palace is the best in the world, but unfortunately there has been no chance!" After speaking, he also stood up with Wang Guanlan, and the two of them stood up like this and made a gesture to leave.

"Stop!"

A roar came from under the hall, the voice was so sudden, so loud, it startled Wang Guanlan, not to mention Yao Yifei, a half-grown old man, to be honest, although Yao Yifei felt that Wang Guanlan was messing around, but he didn't expect that there were really people in this group of businessmen who were so bold and dared to yell such a voice on this occasion.

Wang Guanlan smiled, only to see him turn his head, look at the middle-aged man who jumped out, and said softly, "Who are you?!"

The middle-aged man was impulsive just now, jumping up in front of so many people, and he was a little panicked in his heart, and then looking at Wang Guanlan's strange attitude, his face turned red, and he couldn't say a word.

"Fourteen Shao, he is Lin Qingmin, the second master of the Lin family in Zaoyang!"

"Zaoyang Lin family?!" Wang Guanlan's gaze became strange, Zaoyang is a small county town in Dian Prefecture, and the Lin family was originally just a small merchant family in Zaoyang, but it was only because twenty years ago, a daughter of the Lin family fell into the eyes of King Ning Wang Bicheng and became Wang Bicheng's concubine, and the Lin family began to take off.

The woman of the Lin family is Lin Yuji, the seventh lady of Ning Wangfu, this Lin Qingmin is Lin Yuji's second brother, that is, Wang Guanchao's uncle.

As far as he knows, although the Lin family has borrowed Lin Yuji's momentum, it has developed greatly in recent years, but limited to Lin Yuji's identity, this development still has an upper limit after all, so the Lin family's power is only limited to Zaoyang County, and it is the king and hegemon in that small county town.

Of course, as an emerging family, there is naturally a kind of expansion, which is not determined by a certain person, but by the will of the group, just like the capitalist's pursuit of profit, it is endless, because of this, the Zaoyang Lin family has always wanted to expand their own power externally, although there is no progress in the real surname, but with various relationships, their tentacles have also stretched out from Zaoyang.

Yicheng is the territory of Ning Wangfu, originally controlled by the third son, the Lin family through Lin Yuji's relationship, their own business was placed in Yicheng, of course, this only opened a small business house in Yicheng, and there was not much strength, other business houses ate meat, they just drank some soup.

Such a situation seems to be good, but for a family like the Lin family that is in the development period, this is obviously not enough, they still have greater ambitions and want to go further, and no one understands better than them, if they want to go further, the key is still in Ning Wangfu, look at the status of Lin Yuji and Wang Guanchao in Ning Wangfu.

If in the past, they could still use the relationship of Ning Wangfu to get a piece of the cake in Yicheng, then, after learning that Wang Guanlan would control Yicheng, the Lin family understood that there would be no more Lin family in Yicheng's interest territory, under such a premise, the Lin family did not mind making a big fuss in Yicheng, not only to see Wang Guanlan's jokes, but also to win the favor of the third son, so as to get some compensation in other places, and even profit.

Therefore, in this month, the Lin family jumped the most fiercely, although their shop is small, but to a certain extent, it represents the will of the third son, and the third prince has controlled Yicheng for many years, and has accumulated great power, plus Wang Guanlan's strange means when he came to Yicheng, which made them have a sense of crisis, and they have come and gone, and the current situation has been formed.

Seeing that Lin Qing didn't speak, Wang Guanlan narrowed his eyes, "Your courage is not small, as soon as you gave an order, you stopped the county lord and this young master, and now you are standing without speaking, playing us?!"

"Uh, no!!" Wang Guanlan's words were serious, and directly scared Lin Qing, "I don't dare, I don't dare, but there are some things that still need two people to make decisions, so I dare to ask the two adults to forgive me!!" This Lin Qing is also a character, after coming back to his senses, he took a strong breath and said hard, but the words became more and more smooth, and in the end, he gradually straightened his chest.

"Yes, two adults, it's not that we don't know what to do, it's really that the price of anchovy is too high, we are now losing money every time we sell a copy of anchovy, and now we are not only going to increase the price, but also to press the freight to us, we are small in the business, we really can't afford it!!" Since someone has made a bird, there are naturally more people who are attached, and suddenly, there are bursts of crying below, and the boss of the gang of boats also clamoured, and the noise was unconscious, and the whole hall became like a vegetable market in the morning market, chaotic and disorderly.

Wang Guanlan's eyes narrowed, his gaze scanned for a week, and finally, his eyes were fixed on the body of Wang Da's shopkeeper, "If I insist on not reducing the price and no longer bear the freight, what can you do?!"

"This ?!!" Wang Da's shopkeeper suddenly felt a sudden in his heart, and when he heard the different meaning in Wang Guanlan's tone, he suddenly hesitated a little, and swallowed the words that were originally in his mouth.

He swallowed this, but he was not the only one present, seeing that the shopkeeper Wang lowered his head and did not speak, some impatient people jumped out.

"If the price of anchovy grass is not reduced, then our firm will not buy from Ningtai anymore!"

"Yes, if we don't buy it, we don't have so much money to fill it!"

"That's it, that's it, it's going to add freight to us, which doesn't make people live!"

"Even if it's Ning Wangfu, you can't be so domineering!"

"That's right, now there are so many anchovy grass that can't be sold, and if you keep it, it will lose its medicinal effect, and when the time comes, it will become a waste grass, who else will want it!!"

"We can't go on like this, we must reduce the price!"

"If you don't downgrade, you won't accept it!!"

..............................

............

The crowd is angry, what is the crowd angry, this is called the crowd anger, these Yicheng business shopkeepers, one by one, are like angry little daughters-in-law, shouting, there is a big disagreement, draw the knife to each other, of course, although they will not be stupid enough to use force with Wang Guanlan, although this is gossiping, but this meaning is very clear, if the price is not reduced, then, they will not buy anchovies from Ningtai, so that Ningtai's anchovies are all backlogged there, until they lose their medicine surname and are worthless.

Yao Yifei was a little worried, although this old fox had long known the means that these firms were going to put pressure on Wang Guanlan, but he never thought that Wang Guanlan would be such a two-hundred-and-five-year-old surname, and he didn't have any sincerity to talk to these merchants at all, and he didn't even have the slightest room for discussion.

As the county order of Yicheng, he really doesn't want the two sides to break up, you know, everything in Yicheng is supported by the business of anchovy grass, if something happens to the business of anchovy grass, it will inevitably cause a series of chain reactions, the situation of Yicheng in this month is the best note, without the business of anchovy grass, foreign merchants will not come to Yicheng, these merchants do not come to Yicheng, Yicheng will not be popular, even with restaurants, inns, The business of the restaurant has plummeted, and the originally lively wharf has become deserted, coupled with these commercial houses, some supplies related to the common use of the people have also begun to be lacking, Yicheng has fallen into a state of depression, which is why he came in person today, the purpose is to promote a compromise between the two sides, reconciliation, at the same time, he also hopes that this compromise and reconciliation can be carried out in a harmonious situation, not like now, the whole lobby is like a powder keg, which may burst at any timeใ€‚

Now this kind of excited appearance made him a little difficult to grasp, so he set his eyes on Wang Guanlan, "Fourteen Shao, you see this thing is making trouble, otherwise, let's talk about it again, there is no need to get along with business, isn't it?!"

This is to persuade Wang Guanlan.
