Chapter 0055 - Thorn in the Back

As soon as the business leaders of Zhongli County came in, they saw the half-grown young man sitting in the main seat of the hall in the hall, and they couldn't help but look at each other, with a look of disbelief, such a young man was actually a new upstart in the business community of this county?

With a charcoal coupon to bring down the four major charcoal merchants in the county, one person monopolized the charcoal industry, and then made a lot of money with grain coupons, so why did he, a little-known hairy boy, replace the Fang family to obtain the salt and iron franchise?

But the blind achievements of the people are really in front of them, and everyone can't help but sigh: Sure enough, it is the back waves of the Yangtze River that push the front waves, and the ambition is not at a high age. Recalling the dismal exit of the four major charcoal merchants, this strong back wave mercilessly slapped the front wave to death on the beach, with such iron-fisted means at such an age, everyone just hopes that they will not be targeted by him.

Zhu Chengjun saw that everyone couldn't wait when they first entered the door, but looked at themselves like monsters, and Zhu Chengjun only felt uncomfortable when he was stared at like this. Zhu Chengjun straightened his body, raised his hand slightly and made a gesture of please, and said, "Let you wait for a long time, please take a seat." In a blink of an eye, he gestured to Shen Ze: "Tea, good tea." ”

Everyone saw that this young man didn't even bother to do the superficial greeting and etiquette, and it seemed reasonable to think that he was young and vigorous, just because he was holding something in his hand that everyone coveted.

"Xie Zhu Gongzi gives the ......"

"Mr. Xie Zhu ......"

…………

After figuring out the stakes, everyone didn't think Zhu Chengjun was rude and lazy, and sat down happily.

Seeing the respectful performance of these wealthy businessmen, Zhu Chengjun was very satisfied in his heart, and said in his heart: It's good to have what others urgently want in your hands, so you don't dare to lie down when you're lying on your stomach.

Zhu Chengjun didn't get straight to the point, even if he intended to join them to run the salt business together, if he took the initiative to propose, it would make these people look down on him, and it would also give people an illusion, before they even spoke, you rushed to give us benefits, are you afraid of us. But they can't be the first to put it forward, because in the end it is all for them, and if they take the lead in proposing it and agree to them, it will be a bit of persecution.

Zhu Chengjun is well versed in human nature and ghosts, how can he make such a low-level mistake, and in the face of a group of ghostly businessmen, he thinks it is very necessary to beat it moderately. Zhu Chengjun turned his eyes to look at Shen Ze, who was respectfully waiting on his side, and asked an inconsequential digression, "How is the grain market in Japan County?" ”

Hearing this, everyone suddenly pricked up their ears.

With two things, charcoal coupons and new charcoal, the four major charcoal merchants in the county were forced into a desperate situation, and the food stamps were also from the Changxing ticket number...... Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but take a deep breath. This young man suddenly cared about the price of grain, and now that he thought about it, he did not mean to dry them, and everyone vaguely felt that this young man was going to start cleaning up the four major grain merchants.

Shen Ze bowed down and reported: "Back to the east, most of the grain we sold two days ago was eaten by the three major grain merchants of Qian, Sun and Tian, and my subordinates learned afterwards that these three major grain merchants learned the news of the sharp rise in grain prices in Lin'an's major states and counties earlier than us and signed a supply agreement with the grain merchants there in advance, so they dared to boldly buy grain stamps to exchange for grain." Saying that, Shen Ze sighed to himself and said apologetically: "The three major grain merchants will transport the grain they bought together with their own grain reserves to other prefectures and counties in Lin'an Prefecture, and the county is now faintly worried about food shortages, and the momentum of the sharp rise in grain prices seems to be uncontrollable." It's all because of the ineffective work of his subordinates, so that the three families took advantage of the loophole, causing the good deeds of the owner to let the people of the county eat low-cost food. ”

Yutai grain store sells grain at a low price is actually a good act to benefit the people? You don't want to believe that there are businessmen in this world who are not greedy. This time the grain selling tide they are highly concerned, the price of grain can be said to hit a new low since they can remember, such a low price who is not impressed, they will not be an exception, but unfortunately when they wait and see, Yutai Grain Bank suddenly announced that they need to rely on food coupons to exchange for cash, when they react that it is difficult to find a coupon. Although the price of grain is low, the price of grain stamps is indeed sky-high, if there is no way to sell it, who will be idle to buy sky-high grain coupons to exchange for low-priced grain, one high and one low, it is still high-priced grain.

After listening to Shen Ze's explanation, they were immediately relieved that the three major grain merchants dared to eat high-priced grain stamps, and it turned out that they had learned in advance that the grain prices in the major states and counties of Lin'an Prefecture had soared.

Everyone unconsciously secretly looked at Zhu Chengjun's expression, and saw that his face was sinking like water, and they couldn't see what state of mind he was in at the moment. The grain stamps have been circulated, even if they rise to the sky, it has nothing to do with him, and Yutai Grain Bank is selling grain at a low price again, which shows that he has suffered the loss of the three major grain merchants this time. Everyone quickly overturned their evaluation of Zhu Chengjun before entering the door, and secretly disdained: What a business genius, phew!

Zhu Chengjun glanced at everyone, saw that there was more schadenfreude and contempt on their faces, turned his eyes to look at Shen Ze, and said with a pleasant face: "There are losses and profits in business, and this time I blame me for being thoughtless and letting the Qian, Sun, and Tian families take advantage." As soon as these words came out, everyone's contempt and contempt for Zhu Chengjun was almost uncontrollable, and they were also glad in their hearts: to cooperate with a young man who looks stupid...... So much better!

Zhu Chengjun pretended to take a sip of tea, suddenly raised his head suddenly, looked at Shen Ze with blazing eyes, and asked: "Did the three major grain merchants really transport the grain stored in their own shops and the grain bought from Yutai Grain Store to the prefectures and counties under the jurisdiction of Lin'an Mansion?" ”

Everyone's faces immediately froze, and when Zhu Chengjun repeated this sentence again, they were all old foxes who had been in business for a long time, and they all knew what kind of business opportunities this sentence contained, and they immediately involuntarily retracted the contempt they had just sprouted.

If this young man can transport grain from other places to alleviate the shortage of grain in Zhongli County and sell it at a reasonable price for a period of time, the three major grain merchants of Qian, Sun and Tian will soon fade out of people's field of vision, and it is even very likely that the fate of the four major charcoal merchants will be.

Sure enough, whatever they were afraid of, Shen Ze's next words made them can't help but pinch a cold sweat for the three families of Qian, Sun, and Tian, and even they themselves felt like thorns in their backs.

Shen Ze owed a debt and replied: "In the past two days, my subordinates have visited the streets, and the shops belonging to the three major grain merchants of Qian, Sun, and Tian have all hung signs that they are closed, which shows that they have no food supply in their hands. Speaking of this, Shen Ze glanced at everyone present at the behest of Zhu Chengjun, and then said: "At present, only the Yang family grain store in this county still has surplus grain, and the drop in grain prices caused by the sale of Yutai grain store has gradually recovered, and all of this is advancing towards expectations as expected by the owner. ”

It turned out that all this was planned by this young man, who was indifferent to the high grain prices in the major prefectures and counties of Lin'an, and pretended to be ignorant to confuse the three major grain merchants of Qian, Sun, and Tian, in order to spend them all in preparation for seizing the market in Zhongli County. Two days have passed, and the grain of the three major grain merchants has been transported far away, and when they come back after earning money, they will find that the grain store in Zhongli County has changed, what will they feel at that time. Everyone looked at Zhu Chengjun in unison, with deep awe and fear in their eyes.

Zhu Chengjun glanced at everyone lightly and said, "Zhongli County only relies on the Yang family to supply food, which can't meet the huge market demand at all. ”

Following Zhu Chengjun's words, Shen Ze swore and replied: "Please rest assured, the people of this county will not have to worry about running out of food to buy." Three days ago, his subordinates had ordered other branches in the west of Haozhou Mansion to issue orders for grain purchases, which should be regarded as the first business to be opened for them, and the first batch of grain was about to arrive. ”

"You've done a good job." Zhu Chengjun nodded approvingly.

Hearing what the two of them said so much, everyone present felt a chill on their backs, and the status and influence of the three major grain merchants of Qian, Sun, and Tian in the grain market in Zhongli County were basically shattered after this set of combined punches.

Seeing everyone's reactions, Zhu Chengjun knew that his goal had been achieved, and after laying so much groundwork, it was time for the next negotiations to officially start. Zhu Chengjun moved his neck, put on a relaxed smile, pretended to be polite, and said apologetically: "I have said so many irrelevant digressions, delaying your precious time, and I really don't want to go." ”

Zhu Chengjun gave Shen Ze a look, motioned for him to distribute the prepared cooperation documents to the people present, and then said: "Your intention to come has been informed yesterday that this salt business cooperation agreement, if you think it is okay after reading it, you can sign it." ”

Everyone carefully browsed the many clauses on the deed, and the more they looked down, the more frowning they became. They have been fascinated by the salt business for a long time, and they are well aware of the salt transportation and marketing, and when they saw the cooperation terms that were far stricter than the government's control, they suddenly felt that this kid was really not happy.

After reading the cooperation agreement, everyone looked at each other but it was not good to be the first to stand up and raise objections.

Zhu Chengjun picked up the teacup and drank slowly, seeing that no one stood up to speak, and waited for a long time, Zhu Chengjun cleared his throat and said slowly: "Are you suspicious?" ”

Suspicious? Of course there is, but what can be, if you don't agree, I'm afraid you will be swept away on the spot.

The first is that the deposit is too high, the second is the division of the sales area, and the second is the relevant responsibilities that should be assumed, which are all terms that they cannot accept. This paper constrained them to the point that they had little autonomy at all, and were almost equivalent to hard labor. Looking at their own responsibilities, they know a lot about this industry, and the dense provisions are equivalent to telling them that only by crossing that line can they grab huge profits, otherwise they will honestly earn some hard-earned money in the designated distribution area.

Expect this group of people to operate honestly? Zhu Chengjun didn't dare to have the slightest illusion, and the reason why he was clear about his responsibility was that he could get rid of his involvement if something happened one day in the future. This firewall is very necessary.

If you want to get the salt and iron franchise, you must have money, and second, you must have a deep connection, the first is that most of them are satisfied, and the second is the broken dragon stone that keeps them out.

They all knew that this agreement was not negotiable at all, and they did not sign it, and some people waited in line to sign it.

Wealth and danger are sought, everyone used to play like this, and there is no reason why they can't play when they come here.

"I don't have no objections." Someone needs to be the first to step up.

The first person stood up and made it clear, and the rest of them all chimed in.

"No objections."

……

Seeing that everyone has expressed their attitudes, this matter should also end in victory.

"Zhu Gongzi......" Zhu Chengjun was just about to get up and leave, but when he saw everyone's expectant eyes, he stopped, signaling that they had something to say, but it didn't matter.

The person at the head was the representative they jointly elected, and asked in a trembling voice: "I heard that Zhu Gongzi has a lot of relationship with Master Zhang, I don't know if you can recommend us to introduce you." ”

In the salt and iron business, in the face of the huge profits that can be seen, it is most likely to have evil thoughts, and if you really want to do it, the lightest thing waiting for them is to be imprisoned, so it is very necessary to have a good relationship with the government.

Zhu Chengjun smiled meaningfully and said, "Lord Zhang has been in charge of Zhongli County for many years, and he will be promoted at any time, so we might as well wait." "Wait? Of course, you will wait for the next parent official to take office and then engage in relationships, and during this time, you will do business honestly, and don't have evil intentions and crooked thoughts.

Seeing that the people present looked clear, Zhu Chengjun was just about to turn around, but suddenly stopped again, glanced at everyone with blazing eyes, and sternly admonished: "What should be said and what should not be said are in the agreement, don't say it in advance." Deterrence alone is not enough, Zhu Chengjun thought that they should be given a reassuring pill, looked up at the sky, and then said: "I met with Lord Zhong yesterday, Lord Zhong has a good impression of Zaixia, and he should be able to talk very well. ”

The two sentences before and after were combined and tasted carefully, and everyone present had a feeling of facing honey and stabbing in their backs.
