Chapter 348: Peers Defect
As the new wine Mingyuan wine of the Xu family wine shop became more and more popular, many wine shops also put Mingyuan wine, although the price of this wine is low, but there are really many people who buy him, and because the supply exceeds demand, the price of this wine began to rise immediately, but the price of the wine of the Xu family wine shop has not changed.
Seeing that it was profitable, some big wine merchants no longer wanted the Xu family to raise the price of Mingyuan wine, but wanted to sell it at a low price and at a high price, so that they could make a lot of money elsewhere.
It's just that for merchants who are in high demand and want to cooperate with the Xu family, Xu Minghan, a young owner, has conditions to screen them, and soon these big wine merchants know that the Xu family wine shop actually has a partner, and the identity of this partner is also unusual.
"Bai Dangjia, do you mean that the collaborator of this Xu family wine shop is King Yao?" On this day, in the Beijing Chamber of Commerce, Bai Zhanyang gathered all the shopkeepers of the big liquor stores in the capital, planning to discuss dealing with the Xu family liquor shop together, but when he heard Bai Zhanyang say that the partner of the Xu family liquor shop was Yaowangfu, they all retreated.
Everyone is a person who has been crawling in the mall for many years, some things even if they don't know what to say, they understand the powerful relationship, others don't know the status of Yaowangfu among businessmen, they all have a scale in their hearts, and several generations of Yaowangye rely on today's son, in other words, Yaowangfu has always been making money for the emperor.
Xu Junze, the general, was originally the emperor's most important and trusted person, and the shop he opened cooperated with Yaowangfu, so there was nothing surprising, although their respective liquor shops were also affected by Mingyuan wine, but in fact, compared to the Bai family winery, their losses were not the greatest.
"Hmph, what if it's King Yao, the Xu family maliciously pushed the price of wine so low, just to deal with the wine merchants of our Beijing Chamber of Commerce, isn't it that we didn't sell grain to the imperial court? But we also have to use grain to make wine, this is not to let us live! Bai Zhanyang met with Zhao Mu, the little prince of Yaowang's Mansion yesterday, and the other party actually wanted him to sacrifice the Bai family's granary, which was impossible, so he refused on the spot.
As soon as I heard Bai Zhanyang mention food, many people present were silent, now the price of food is rising every day, and the Bai family has made a lot of small moves in the back, it seems that Mingyuan wine did not appear for no reason, and the Xu family and Yaowangfu are not targeting them, but the Bai family.
After figuring this out, there are even fewer people who speak, they are just businessmen, even if they have wealth in their hands, there is power to rely on, but the people do not fight with officials, this is an eternal truth, not to mention that it is still fighting with imperial power, it is not to touch stones with eggs, but now Bai Zhanyang has long forgotten this, he arrogantly thinks that he holds the lifeblood of "grain" in his hands, and even the imperial power can be controlled, not to mention a small Xu family wine shop.
Next, Bai Zhanyang thought of finding trouble for the Xu family's liquor shop, and constantly slandered the Xu family's new liquor Mingyuan liquor, trying to ruin the reputation of the new liquor.
After Lin Shuran knew this, he wanted to help Xu Minghan deal with this situation together, but the brothers of the Xu family took into account her physical condition, so they didn't let her interfere, and Xu Minghan also told her that the affairs of the Bai family would be handed over to him and the little prince Zhao Mu next.
Lin Shuran thought that since Xu Minghan planned to do business as the way, it would be okay to exercise him more, and with the Yao Wangfu as a foil, he should not be able to suffer a loss in fighting with the Bai family in the shopping mall.
Sure enough, in less than half a month, the Bai family's business in the capital was all robbed, and the big wine merchants who were second only to the Bai family were willing to sacrifice granaries to the imperial court to stabilize the high price of grain, and even moved some grain merchants to restore the price of grain to parity.
Not only that, the palace also stopped using the Bai family wine, and replaced it with the Yu family wine, Ding family wine and Mei family wine, which are second only to the Bai family wine, these three are also from a wine-making family, and their wine is not worse than the Bai family wine, but it has been pressed by the Bai family all these years and cannot go one step further.
Immediately afterwards, news also came from the states of the Bai family's liquor stores, saying that no one buys the Bai family's liquor anymore, and they all prefer Mingyuan liquor with good quality and cheapness, and even those big liquor stores have begun to sell Mingyuan liquor in addition to selling their own wine.
"How is this possible!" Bai Zhanyang didn't believe that those who originally stood with him would choose to turn their backs on him in such a short period of time, and it was impossible for Bai Jiajiu to be replaced overnight.
On this day, the snow fell, Xu Minghan and Xu Mingchen saw Zhao Mu, the little prince of Yaowang's mansion, in the Zhuangzi in the suburbs, and the three of them sat around the stove, Xu Mingchen took out an envelope and handed it to Zhao Mu, and said: "This is the rest of the part!" ”
Zhao Mu took it with a smile on his face and said, "Thank you for me, your mother, if she didn't help again, things wouldn't have gone so smoothly!" ”
"The little prince is polite, my mother said that she had planned to make public the wine recipe of this Mingyuan wine, and if a few wine recipes can calm down the incident, of course she is willing to take it out." Xu Mingchen said.
Just when the Bai family began to target the Xu family's wine shop, Lin Shuran wrote down the production methods of Mingyuan wine in detail, and then wrote a few wine-making recipes and personally drew a set of wine-making equipment, and asked Xu Minghan and Xu Mingchen to hand these over to Zhao Mu, and also wrote down her purpose for handing them over to Zhao Mu.
Since the Bai family wants to use grain to disrupt the market, then isolate him in the shortest possible time and disintegrate the alliance relationship within their businessmen, who doesn't want to dominate, who is willing to be subservient, not to mention that the Bai family has bullied their peers over the years, and everyone dares to be angry and dare not speak.
Therefore, under the operation of Zhao Mu, those peers who originally chose to stand on the side of the Bai family all defected, because the cooperation conditions given to them by Zhao Mu were too tempting, a wine recipe for Mingyuan wine, and a drawing that could improve the winemaking process, and even Zhao Mu promised that after the deed, those who had merit could get a secret wine recipe in the palace.
In the face of huge interests, the shrewd businessmen made their own choices, whether it was a wine merchant or a grain merchant, after thinking about it, they chose to cooperate with Zhao Mu in the end, not only for the "benefits" given by Zhao Mu, but also for his "threat", they were very afraid that the emperor would settle accounts after the autumn.
The grain merchants are more like the mirror in their hearts, since the imperial court issued a new decree, and the household department encouraged the people to change their farming methods, now the grain yield per mu in the autumn of the Jin Dynasty is very high, if the court and the people adopt new methods of cultivation next year, then the grain will not be as tight as this winter, and the imperial court can no longer be subject to the grain merchants, and their good days of making money are coming to an end.
I thought that I would take the opportunity to make a big profit this winter, but I thought that I would anger the emperor, for the sake of the future, between the emperor and the Bai family, they must make a choice as soon as possible, and who to choose naturally does not need to think about it!
