Chapter 81: Liu Yong helps
Huangmei day, the weather is humid and a little stuffy, which makes people's mood a little irritable.
The money shopkeeper sat on a chair, constantly smoking a hookah, standing up for a while, pacing around the room, and then sitting down again, his mind was in a mess, and he was a little restless.
At this time, Zhang Hong, the assistant of the money shopkeeper, came in and handed the money shopkeeper a letter. When the money shopkeeper opened the letter and saw it, he was so frightened that cold sweat broke out on his head.
The letter was sent from the provincial government. It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, you will be shocked when you see it. The letter reads: On the orders of the imperial court, inspectors will be sent to settle this year's spring silk profits in the near future. Please have the cash ready to go.
Looking at the warehouse, the bag of dry scriptures untouched, the money shopkeeper was worried. Not to mention the huge losses that have been constituted, if people come to see a package of dry scriptures in a warehouse that has not been sold so far, how can it be good if it has caused a huge loss? The money manager is in a hurry.
Zhuang Maosheng suggested that he discuss with Liu Yong, this time he intended to raise the market price, although he was not the mastermind, but he was also a supporter and direct participant, and now he was going to beg him again, where to put this cheek? Thinking about it, life is always more important than face. If the court is held accountable and charged with a crime of dereliction of duty, it will be even more terrible, and there will be no way out, so simply explain the ins and outs to Liu Yong.
The money shopkeeper entered the Liu family's compound with a smile.
In the yard, Liu Yong and Xiao Anlu were catching butterflies.
Seeing the money shopkeeper come in, Liu Yong Hongying took Xiao Anlu away. got up and shook his hands, and said with a smile: The money shopkeeper is really a rare guest, come to the cold house, let me shine. Please inside inside, please.
The shopkeeper also smiled: I did come in the Liu family's compound for the first time, it really opened my eyes.
Liu Yong said with a smile: It's still a bit disorganized, and it still needs to be improved.
The money shopkeeper followed Liu Yong into the living room.
The money shopkeeper looked around, and the room was full of mahogany furniture, which was dazzlingly decorated, and he was amazed.
Liu Yong gave up his seat and ordered his subordinates to serve tea.
Liu Yong said with a smile: The money shopkeeper came to the cold house, I don't know what to do?
The money shopkeeper has changed his domineering and high-minded appearance in the past. Swallowing and spitting: The contemptible people took the liberty to come because they asked Brother Liu.
Liu Yongdao: How do you say this?
The money shopkeeper said: In front of Brother Liu, I really don't hide it. Our bank has not sold a pack of spring silk so far, and it has become inventory. Recently, even the working capital is a little difficult, and the current weaving bureau is also difficult, and the funds cannot be transferred at once.
Liu Yong said: It turns out that the money shopkeeper wants to turn over a little money with the contemptible people, but I don't know how much he wants?
The money shopkeeper said embarrassedly: The contemptible person is not working capital, and he wants to transfer part of the inventory to Brother Liu at cost price.
Liu Yong understands in his heart that it is the typhoon season, and the outer ships cannot come in, resulting in low prices for dry economics. The spring silk season has also come to an end, and the goods will have to wait until the autumn silk. So he smiled and said: I don't know how much the money shopkeeper wants to transfer? How much does it cost?
The money shopkeeper said embarrassedly: I can't hide it in front of Brother Liu, there are still 80 packs, the purchase price of 20 packs is one or two and a half points, and the purchase price of 60 packs is one or two two cents. I don't know what Brother Liu thinks?
Liu Yong said with a smile: If the money shopkeeper doesn't care, all 80 packages will be given to me by one, two, and five.
The shopkeeper looked at Liu Yong with wide eyes, and said in surprise: Brother Liu is serious?
Liu Yong smiled and said: You have no jokes. Tomorrow, one hand will pay and one hand will be delivered.
When the money shopkeeper heard this, he was so excited that he wanted to kneel down towards Liu Yong. Liu Yongdao: Hey, hey! This is absolutely unacceptable, you are breaking my life.
The shopkeeper was helped up by Liu Yong to sit on the chair and said excitedly: Brother Liu saved the life of the contemptible person this time, and the contemptible person is grateful.
Liu Yong said with a smile: The money shopkeeper is serious.
The shopkeeper said: Brother Liu didn't know, this time the contemptible people listened to Zhuang Maosheng's words and raised the price of silk without authorization, but with the heart of a villain, he spent the belly of a gentleman, and as a result, he lifted a stone and shot himself in the foot. Nowadays, the goods are all in the warehouse, and the weaving bureau has to come to settle the spring silk profits, otherwise, the contemptible people do not know how to deal with it. Brother Liu saved the contemptible people, this is good, our bank does not lose money, but has a profit of nearly 2,000 taels. Brother Liu is very kind and virtuous, and he will never forget it.
Liu Yong smiled: We just did a business between us, I am willing to buy, you are willing to sell. What about great kindness? Of course, we businessmen value trust, and our industry is to measure cloth and people.
The shopkeeper bowed his body and said: Brother Liu's words are profound, and he has benefited a lot from contemptible.
......
Three days later, the Hangzhou Weaving Bureau was ordered by the imperial court to send two inspectors to Nanxun Jingzhuang to inspect the purchase, sale and profit of Jingzhuang spring silk.
At the dinner table, the money shopkeeper smiled and persuaded the visitors to drink, on the one hand, he asked the account office to show the report to the inspectors.
The inspectors saw that in addition to the tribute silk on the books, there were still 2,000 taels of profit from the sales of spring silk alone. Thumbs up to the money shopkeeper and said: It is not easy for Chunsi alone to have so many profits. The money shopkeeper has a good business, which is respectable and respectable!
The money shopkeeper said with a smile: When you eat in the bowl, you should think of the pot, which is where the responsibility lies. The imperial court and the bureau are currently in short supply of silver, and the contemptible people have already prepared, so when you return to the two of them, just bring the silver ticket. Come on, come on, drink and drink.
The money shopkeeper knew in his heart that if it wasn't for Liu Yong's full help this time, he would settle all his inventory at a higher market price, and he really didn't know how he would end up next.
......
A few days later, Liu Yong received an urgent telegram from Shanghai from Ah Rong. It reads: Shanghai is out of stock, prices are soaring, and the supply of goods is quickly organized to come to Shanghai. Liu Yong looked at the telegram with a smile on his face. He immediately called someone to inform Song Hongsheng and Wang Baohe, and loaded the ship overnight.
In two days, the boat arrived at the 16th Shop Wharf, where Ah Rong and a few foreigners were already waiting.
After negotiation, the transaction was made at two two and two.
Weigh and deliver at the dock on the spot. Pay with one hand and deliver with the other. This time inadvertently, Liu Yong made a lot of money again.
Liu Yong took care of Ah Rong for a few words, and returned to Nanxun with Song Hongsheng, Wang Baohe and the boat.
Back in Nanxun, as soon as the boat docked, I heard someone talking, saying: Thanks to the early discovery, if it was late, it would be fatal.
Liu Yong stepped forward and asked, "What are you talking about?"
A few people saw that it was Liu Yong. Dao: Liu Dongjia, you don't know, that Zhuang Maosheng lost a lot of money in business, and ate and slept at home all day long. His mother-in-law also quarreled with him every day, but helplessly, he hanged himself, thanks to the early discovery, there is no problem.
Liu Yong was surprised. Dao: Is there such a thing?
A Dao: He is a person, he is usually a little small-bellied, he has no ability, and he can't see others get rich, so no one sympathizes with him.
Liu Yong turned to Song Hongsheng and Wang Baohe and said: You go home first, I'll go over and take a look.
......
Mrs. Zhuang's wife Cao was sitting in the living room with a sad face, constantly wiping her tears. When she saw Liu Yong coming in, she didn't know what Liu Yong's intentions were, so she stood up and said: Oh Liu Dongjia, you don't look at the Buddha's face, please forgive him, don't worry about him anymore. Our family can't go on anymore.
Liu Yong smiled and said: What a big deal, it's normal to make money and lose money, how can you make money every time you do business? Where is he?
Cao Shi said: Lying on the bed in the back room.
Liu Yongdao: I'm just looking at him.
Liu Yong came to Zhuang Maosheng's bed, only to see Zhuang Maosheng lying face in.
Liu Yong said: Oh, Brother Maosheng, what's the big deal that you can't think of, a manly man, you have to be able to bend and stretch. How can you make money every time in business? You don't think about yourself, you have to think about your family and children, you can earn it back if you don't have money, if you don't have people, you have nothing.
After listening to Liu Yong's words, Zhuang Maosheng's heart was a little touched, and tears flowed down. Dao: Liu Dongjia, this time I have bad intentions and I am self-inflicted, I am sorry for you.
Liu Yongdao: Brother Maosheng is also bad at this. I have no grievances with you in the past life, no enmity in this life, you do your business, I do my business, what is worthy of being sorry. You have to cheer up and start anew, if the autumn silk market is good, a business will be earned. Don't worry, if you don't have working capital, you can return the money to me, don't worry, I won't make profits with you, and I won't ask you if you don't make money.
Liu Yong's words made Zhuang Maosheng cry bitterly.
