Chapter 13: The Wicked Have Their Own Evildoers!
On the same day, the price of silk in the entire Zhangxian County fluctuated greatly!
The Xihai Chamber of Commerce suddenly lowered the price and sold a large number of silk!
The sudden price reduction has affected several local cloth mills, and the price of fabrics that have risen with the trend has also been greatly reduced, and even the price has fallen very quickly, and the price has returned to the normal price in just half a day.
However, the price of silk has not been reduced too much, but it has reached a normal point and is suitable for procurement.
Next.
After hearing that the silk of the Xihai Chamber of Commerce was being sold in large quantities locally, Qin Jun also immediately found Qianfeng and asked, "Son-in-law, is this silk available for purchase?" ”
Now there is a shortage of silk in the cloth mill, and the stock of silk has been used up yesterday afternoon.
Without silk, a large number of looms in the backyard would stop working, and the loss of a day would be hundreds of taels of silver.
How do you know that after Qianfeng heard the news, he directly shook his head and said, "What's the hurry, what if this is Zheng He's trap?" ”
"Trap?"
Qin Jun shuddered, and then wiped the sweat from his head and asked, "He was already deceived yesterday, is he still a thief?" ”
"Don't worry, there is still some time before the delivery time, we have enough time, and we can't die if we wait."
Qianfeng rolled his eyes and said very easily.
"My father-in-law, if you are in a hurry, you might as well go out for a stroll, how about playing around in a place that you rarely play on weekdays?"
Qianfeng pointed out the door and said with a smile.
As Qianfeng said, although the current price of silk is appropriate, it is not underestimated, and according to Zheng He's current dumping situation, not a lot of materials have been released.
At this moment, when the Qin family moves, it is to move the whole body!
Either take enough silk in one fell swoop, or be caught by Zheng He, Zheng He will stop selling silk and completely lose the way to buy silk!
Just as Qianfeng thought, Zheng He in the restaurant was pacing back and forth at this time, thinking of the news of the spies waiting to be sent out to keep an eye on the Qin family.
After waiting for an afternoon, a thin subordinate was late.
"Any news? Qin Ke went to purchase silk? ”
Zheng He didn't wait for the hand to salute, and hurriedly asked.
The slave hurriedly said: "Master, the surnamed Qin didn't send anyone to buy silk, and even he went to Yichun Building today to drink flower wine, and the villain followed him and saw it with his own eyes." ”
"Drink flower wine? Is Qin Jun really enough silk? ”
Sitting on the chair hatefully, Zheng He gritted his teeth, already in confusion.
Zheng He is famous in the Xihai Chamber of Commerce, naturally not an ordinary person, yesterday after seeing the silk taken out by Qianfeng, he was not immediately bewitched, but he still had a little suspicion in his heart, so he asked the Chamber of Commerce to release the news of the price dump, and released a small amount of cheap silk, wanting to seduce Qin Jun to come to purchase.
As a result, I didn't expect that Qin Jun not only didn't come, but also went out to drink and pick flowers, so happy!
"Master, the price of silk outside has dropped so much, we still have 10,000 taels of silk, do you want to sell it quickly?"
The cronies ran in and hurried to report the news.
Although the Xihai Chamber of Commerce took most of the silk goods in the entire Zhangxian County in their hands, there were also many silk shops in order to make a private hoarding of some goods, as a result, Zheng He just released the news of the sale, and this group of shops took advantage of the hand to get rid of it, resulting in a significant decline in the price of silk, and if you want to pull up the market price, you must need to put away all the goods that are left out!
But now the largest buyer, the Qin family, is no longer short of silk, and it will definitely be a loss-making transaction for him to continue to buy and sell again!
Zheng He gritted his teeth, his brows were tightly locked, his mind was entangled, and he was making the most difficult choice!
"Master, the price of silk outside has fallen so much, and if you don't leave, you will lose a lot of money!"
The cronies are also anxious, but the rapid decline in the price of silk has become a trend and cannot be delayed any longer.
"You go and send someone to sell all the silk in the warehouse."
Zheng He finally made up his mind and said bitterly.
"The villain will do it!" The cronies hurriedly stepped back and received orders to do it.
Zheng He picked up the wine jug, poured a glass of wine, and drank the stuffy wine.
He has been doing business in the West Sea for many years, but he didn't expect to be defeated in this small Zhangxian County today, which really impressed him!
If it weren't for the fact that the Xihai Chamber of Commerce could gain a firm foothold in Nanzhou, why would he lose so much money?
It is said that Nanzhou is a barren land, and few big chambers of commerce can take root here, and Zheng He has already affirmed this statement at this time!
Knock knock!
"Shopkeeper Zheng, what have you been busy with these days?"
Outside the private room, a flirtatious voice came into my ears, and then I saw Chen Muqing, who was dressed in green clothes, walking in with two subordinates.
Zheng He hurriedly stood up and hurriedly saluted: "I've seen Gongzi Chen." ”
Chen Muqing was also not polite, he raised his feet and sat down at the wine table, glanced at the palatial private room, and then looked at the lonely wine jug and wine cup on the wine table, and said with a piercing laugh: "I said shopkeeper Zheng, do you come to the restaurant to drink wine and not eat a few dishes?" There are a lot of good dishes in this Mingyue Building, isn't it with your appetite. ”
"No, no."
Zheng He showed a bitter smile, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "It's just that I encountered something unpleasant, so I came to relieve my sorrows with wine." ”
"Oh?" Chen Muqing raised his eyebrows, and he was not interested in knowing Zheng He's worries, so he took out a stack of documents from his sleeve, and then said: "I have already done what you dragged me to do, here is the deed of seventy acres of mulberry forest in Zhangxian County, a total of 60,000 taels." ”
"This ......"
Where does Zheng He have the heart to look at the deeds of these mulberry forests now, he casually glanced at the words on these deeds and the seal of the government, and confirmed that they were the mulberry forests he was optimistic about before, but now he has no intention of buying them.
Seeing that Zheng He was very perfunctory, Chen Muqing said impatiently: "What, these mulberry forests, are you not satisfied?" ”
Although these mulberry forests were bought by himself by taking advantage of the reputation of the governor's son, in fact, they only cost a few hundred taels of silver, but the 60,000 taels of silver were negotiated between the two before, and Zheng He dared to go back on his word?
"Satisfied, very satisfied."
"Bring the money."
"Chen Gongzi, can this silver be graced for a few days?"
"What do you mean?"
Chen Muqing's face suddenly became gloomy, and the two tiger-backed subordinates behind him immediately bullied him, and the two sides were tense for a while.
"I don't mean anything, it's just that the villain doesn't have the money to buy you now."
In order to avoid Chen Muqing's suspicions, Zheng He hurriedly explained to Chen Muqing about his business dealings with the Qin family.
"I don't care where you spend the silver, you have to pay the 60,000 taels of silver if you don't pay it!"
With a bang, Chen Muqing's eyebrows were raised, he owed others money on weekdays, and it was the first time that someone dared to owe him silver!
"Come on, let him taste the fate of bullying this son!"
The next moment, Zheng He was picked up like a chicken by his subordinates, and then he was pressed to the ground!
