The housekeeper just casually comforted him, but when Li Deming heard what he said, he felt better inexplicably.

"You're right, it's just a woman, don't be afraid."

Li Deming exhaled deeply, and said to the housekeeper: "Go and call that unfilial son." ”

The housekeeper was stunned for a moment, and when he heard this, he immediately thought that the master was talking about the young master, so he hurriedly responded and retreated.

And in the private room of the teahouse.

All the cloth merchants in the entire Fan County, except for the Li family, have already arrived.

They came in advance, so when they arrived, Meng Lianyi hadn't come over yet.

So they all gathered together and began to talk in a whisper.

"Do you think Meng Lianyi can really agree to restore the original price?" One spoke.

"I think it's possible, after all, this cloth also needs a cost, and now she should be selling the fabric at a loss, such a low price, even if the Bai family is rich, I am afraid it will not last long, and it will naturally be restored to the original price at that time." One of them spoke a little proudly.

After he finished speaking, Zeng Dafu on the side sneered.

"Zeng Dafu, what are you laughing at, am I not right?" When the man saw Zeng Dafu suddenly laughing, he was instantly unhappy.

Zeng Dafu didn't care, and after snorting coldly, he said: "Naturally I don't agree, the Bai family is not stupid, then Meng Lianyi is even smarter, how can he make a loss-making deal." ”

"What do you mean by this, we all know how much the price of the fabric is, and the Bai family is discounting and buying two get one free, so the final price is about the same as the cost, and they may not make much." The man frowned.

But Zeng Dafu shook his head with a smile and continued: "Haven't you heard about the Bai family's improvement of the loom? I heard that after they improved the loom, they could speed up the weaving speed, and I think this speed should have increased a lot, and the cost was reduced, so I dared to sell the fabric at such a low price these days. ”

"How is that possible? Even if the speed is doubled from the original speed, it is impossible to reduce the cost so much, and everyone's loom often changes, even if it is not necessary to weave little by little, even if it is fast, where can it be fast? The man spoke disapprovingly.

Zeng Dafu was still smiling, but this time he didn't talk to the man.

At that moment, suddenly there was a sound of footsteps downstairs, and the door was opened.

Meng Lianyi walked in.

The people in the room were stunned at first after seeing Meng Lianyi.

After all, I used to talk about business, but I met all the big men, and this is the first time I have met a woman in the business field.

Among these people, Zeng Dafu took the lead in standing up and greeted Meng Lianyi with a smile: "This is Mrs. Meng, it's really better to be famous than to meet, it's really young and promising." ”

When everyone heard Zeng Dafu say this, they were immediately reminded and began to compliment Meng Lianyi.

Meng Lianyi didn't lose himself because of their praise, he just looked at everyone with a smile and said.

After they all finished speaking, Meng Lianyi nodded and sat down in his seat, and said straight to the point: "You guys came here today for the price of cloth." ”

Hearing Meng Lianyi say this, everyone fell silent.

put away the mood of joking, and looked at Meng Lianyi eagerly.

"That's right, Mrs. Meng guessed right, we are here for the price of cloth, Mrs. Meng herself is also in the fabric business, presumably she also knows that we make some hard-earned money, if you keep the price so low, I'm afraid we won't have any business in the future." Chang Youcai said and smiled bitterly, but his eyes kept looking at Meng Lianyi.

After he was the first to finish, the rest of the people began to complain.

"Who says it's not, what we earn is some hard-earned money, for a period of time, because your Bai family's shop deliberately lowered the price, our shop has not had customers come in for a long time, and if it goes on like this, our people's shops will not be able to open." Someone sighed, his face a little ugly.

Meng Lianyi never spoke, quietly looking at their group of people.

In the end, after everyone had finished speaking, they realized that Meng Lianyi had not spoken, so they stopped and looked at Meng Lianyi.

Meng Lianyi saw everyone's nervous appearance, and said word by word: "Do you want me to lower the price?" ”

"That's right." Someone nodded impatiently.

originally thought that Meng Lianyi would take advantage of the situation to agree, but who knew that Meng Lianyi shook his head: "I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't agree to this matter." ”

"What did you say?" One of the grumpy people in the group immediately slapped the table and stood up, glaring angrily at Meng Lianyi.

Meng Lianyi was not afraid of him at all, and his eyes did not change.

Although the rest of the people present were not as impulsive as him, their faces were not very good-looking.

"Mrs. Meng, doing business pays attention to a harmonious and prosperous business, and it is naturally good for everyone to earn money together, and you can't smash everyone's jobs in order to make money for yourself, right?" Those who have not spoken often have a smile on their faces.

"That's right, Mrs. Meng is a smart person, she must not understand this truth, since she came here today, she must have come here for this matter." Zeng Dafu also smiled and spoke.

Meng Lianyi was a little surprised when he heard what the two of them said.

I didn't expect there to be a few smart people among these people.

So Meng Lianyi didn't mean to sell Guan Zi anymore, and nodded with a smile: "That's right, having money must be good for everyone to earn together, but as far as I know, each of you has your own weaving workshop at home, I want to take the liberty of asking, what is the cost of the fabrics produced in your workshop?" ”

It would be a bit presumptuous to ask people directly about the cost if they were placed on other occasions.

But because the people here are all cloth business owners, and everyone has their own workshop, the cost of cloth is not a secret to them.

Although the rest of the people didn't know why Meng Lianyi asked this, they also told Meng Lianyi about the lowest cost in their workshop.

Meng Lianyi also integrated the prices they said in his heart, and the prices of all workshops were similar.

To sum up, it is 60 wen per horse for coarse cloth, 300 wen per horse for muslin, and as for the remaining calico and silk and other fine cloths, the price is high.

Let's just say that the silk in it, some of the better ones can be sold for dozens of taels of silver, and the worse ones also need a few taels of silver, and the calico is not cheap, and a piece of cloth needs at least one or two taels of silver, which are not affordable for ordinary people.
