Chapter 131: Formal Declaration of War

originally thought that Meng Lianyi would give them an affirmative answer.

But who knew that Meng Lianyi laughed out loud after hearing what everyone said, and then shook his head.

"What do you think, what if this kind of cloth costs 500 wen per piece of cloth?" Meng Lianyi said.

"Five hundred wen? How is this possible, the price of ordinary cotton cloth alone is not less than 300 Wen, this cloth is not only dyed, but also of such good quality, how can it be bought for 500 Wen. Hearing this, a gray-haired old man hurriedly shook his head and denied Meng Lianyi's words.

Meng Lianyi didn't speak, and continued to smile and look at everyone.

Zeng Dafu was the first to react, stood up from his seat suddenly, and then looked at Meng Lianyi excitedly, and said in disbelief: "What does Mrs. Meng mean is that the cost of this calico is really only five hundred wen?" ”

Meng Lianyi smiled and nodded.

"How is this possible!"

Even if Zeng Dafu already knew that the Bai family had a new weaving method, he didn't want to be able to keep the price so low.

Everyone in the room began to talk.

For a moment, everyone's eyes looked at Meng Lianyi, waiting for Meng Lianyi's answer.

Meng Lianyi didn't give them a positive answer, but continued to ask: "If you can get this kind of cloth at the price of 500 Wen, do you think you can make a profit?" ”

"That's naturally there, to tell you the truth, my workshop is now an ordinary cotton cloth, the cost has been more than 300 Wen, if this calico can be won by me at a price of 500 Wen, if it is shipped to the north, I will definitely make a lot of money." A bearded man was the first to speak.

When the rest of the people heard him say this, they all nodded.

Meng Lianyi looked at them and nodded, knowing that his goal today was about to be achieved.

The bosses present are all old fritters who have been in business for many years.

There are a lot of hearts.

Today, Meng Lianyi asked them to come over, and also led the topic to the calico, so her purpose today must have something to do with this fabric.

Thinking of this, everyone who was still a little loose looked at Meng Lianyi excitedly.

"Mrs. Meng, do you mean that you want to do this calico business with us?" Zeng Dafu said in a trembling voice.

Seeing that someone finally guessed what he meant, Meng Lianyi smiled and nodded: "That's right, that's what I mean." ”

"What? The Bai family is really willing to let us get this calico at a price of 500 wen per horse. The bearded man stood up from his position and spoke excitedly.

Meng Lianyi nodded.

The scene immediately became noisy.

Five hundred Wen, this price is really reasonable.

As long as they can get calico at this price, the cost is definitely more cost-effective than the painstaking work of weaving cloth in their own workshop.

For a while, everyone was eager to try.

Meng Lianyi saw that they were all moved, and couldn't help but smile at the corners of his mouth, and then added: "You also know that the cost of calico is not low, although we have a special secret recipe to control some costs a little, but this calico still needs some costs, so if you want to do this calico business with us, you must abide by some rules we have set." ”

Hearing this, the people at the scene suddenly quieted down.

Qi Qi set his eyes on Meng Lianyi.

"I don't know what the rules are?" There are often tempting inquiries from wealth.

Meng Lianyi smiled when he heard this, and then raised his chin in a gesture towards the housekeeper.

The butler immediately understood, took a few pieces of paper, and handed them to everyone present one by one.

After reading the contents of the paper, everyone here looked at me and I looked at you, with a look of disbelief on their faces.

"Mrs. Meng, is what is written on this true?" Someone's uncertain opening.

Meng Lianyi smiled and nodded: "That's right, this is my promise, and as long as you do what I want, then we can sign a contract and cooperate for a long time in the future." ”

Hearing Meng Lianyi say this, everyone present was eager to try.

In fact, the conditions that Meng Lianyi put forward to them were not too harsh, and there were only a few, of which there were only two except for stipulating that they could not bid maliciously and other business matters.

One is that as long as they go out to sell calico from the Bai family, they must put the Bai family's logo in their own shop, which is not a problem for the people present, after all, everyone is a businessman, as long as they make money, they don't care what cloth is produced where.

There is another rule, that is, as long as it is a businessman who cooperates with his own family, he cannot cooperate with the Li family in the future.

These people present knew some grievances between Meng Lianyi and the Li family, and they also knew that their shop was smashed last time because the Li family was looking for someone to do it.

Now it seems that these two should be on the right track.

Meng Lianyi looked at these people in front of him with a smile, not knowing what they would choose.

Originally, I thought that these people might be entangled, after all, the Li family was the default leader among the cloth merchants in Fan County, and now he asked them to sign a contract, which basically meant that they would turn the relationship with the Li family into a hostile relationship, so Meng Lianyi guessed that they might hesitate.

But what Meng Lianyi didn't expect was that after hearing what she said, the people present were silent for a moment, and then they all stood up in unison.

They expressed their willingness to sign a contract.

Even later, some people began to crowd up for fear that they would be late, scrambling to sign the contract.

Although Meng Lianyi was a little surprised, it was a good thing for her that things went so smoothly.

When everything settled and the rest of the people were sent away, Meng Lianyi was ready to go back.

But he was suddenly stopped.

"Mrs. Meng." Zeng Dafu spoke.

Meng Lianyi looked back and couldn't help but nod at him after finding that it was Zeng Dafu.

"Boss Zeng." Meng Lianyi said.

Zeng Dafu hurriedly waved his hand and said with a smile: "Haha, Mrs. Meng is polite, I came here today to talk to Mrs. Meng about getting the goods from the Bai family just now." ”

Meng Lianyi was a little surprised when he heard this:

"Didn't we sign a contract just now? What else does Boss Zeng have to ask? ”

Zeng Dafu laughed, and then said: "Although the contract has been signed, it should not be easy to make this calico at first, and the Bai family is afraid that the amount of one time is also limited, so the order in which we people take the goods should also be before and after." ”

Zeng Dafu said what he is most concerned about now.

There is something special about this calico, which has never been seen before.

Therefore, if anyone can get the goods first and ship them out, they will be the first to occupy the market.
