Chapter 69: Doing Business with a Conscience
As soon as they heard that the Jinling cloth shop was using inferior cloth to pass off as good cloth, the people around immediately began to curse without any verification.
Everyone abhors and suffers from the use of fakes.
Generally speaking, this kind of thing can only be encountered by ordinary people, and the group of people who deceive people dare not dare to deceive the officials.
Looking at the fierce atmosphere of the people, Liu Kaicheng had to knock on the shocking wood again to signal silence.
"Xiao Qing, is this your cloth?"
Xiao Qing stepped forward to check carefully, then shook his head and said, "Fu Yin, this is not my family's cloth, they are impersonating." ”
"Nonsense, this is your cloth, we went to buy it, and these people are all human witnesses."
Xiao Qing sneered: "You black-hearted shopkeepers, sell the cloth at such an expensive price, and slaughter the people who buy the cloth like cattle and sheep, and a group of people should join forces to frame me, and ask the government Yin Mingjian, the grass people are wronged." ”
With Xiao Qing's words, the onlookers turned around and discussed.
"Yes, they are afraid that the Jinling cloth shop will sell cheaply and steal their business."
"This is obviously wronged."
"If you buy it cheaply, you have to be reported to the official."
The emotions of the people are very easy to drive, because they can't restore the real appearance, everyone is talking with a mouth, who says the love is sincere, and whoever says the logic is clear.
Although Yang Guang doesn't know how to try cases in this era, he understands Internet quarrels.
It is not reasonable, you have to win sympathy, fight for a weak position, and express a position that is beneficial to the majority of people, and then play, right and wrong is the standard set by human beings, and it is a way to deal with things.
A lot of things, times have changed, but everything has changed.
Xiao Qing sighed lightly and said: "I'm really sorry for Fu Yin, I'm sorry for you, I have to make such a grand fuss for our shop, Fu Yin is busy with everything, and he works hard for the people every day, thinking about this, I have mixed feelings." (Sorry for taking up too much public resources.) )
"I can understand the mood of several shopkeepers, the price of the cloth sold in our Jinling cloth store is very low, this is because the cost of cloth has been reduced after the process improvement, our Jinling cloth shop in line with the mentality of small profits and quick turnover, for the benefit of the people, after research, the price of cloth will be reduced, I really didn't expect it to cause such a big sensation, and I didn't expect that a few shopkeepers would give birth to a poisonous plan to frame me."
"The original intention of our Jinling cloth shop is just to benefit the people, so that more people can buy cheap cloth, my father, grandfather, ran a cloth shop for decades, although we are only a small shop, but the elders often teach me that making money is just to make the cloth shop live, selling cloth and selling clothes is to let everyone have clothes to wear."
"Our current cloth price is not cheap enough, it has to be cheaper, so cheap that even beggars can dress warmly, although this may be the luxury of our grandparents and grandchildren, but we have never forgotten our original intention, keep in mind the mission."
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall was stunned, Fu Yin was stunned, he didn't expect a cloth shop to have such lofty ideals.
The treasurers who complained were stunned, and these words intentionally beat their accusations to the fullest, and they completely became the evil faction.
The people were stunned, this words, this trip, can they still be sued as officials?
Out of nowhere, the shouts of the Jinling cloth shop came.
"Jinling cloth shop!"
"Jinling cloth shop!"
Then everyone shouted, and for a while the momentum was huge, and before anything could be heard, it was already one-sided.
Liu Kaicheng has been an official for so many years, and he knows best that public opinion is irreversible, and when public opinion is one-sided, the outcome of this lawsuit can actually be seen.
"Silence!"
"Silence!"
When it quieted down, several shopkeepers said: "Xiao Qing's shopkeeper is like a spring, and his ability to reverse black and white is really powerful, he actually avoided the important and trivialized, and did not answer a word of my question, and there was no response to the quality of this cloth." ”
"No need to respond, not my cloth, how can I respond."
"Nonsense, this is your cloth."
"How do you know that?"
"I bought it from your house."
"A few people have a mouth, and what they say is mine is mine, and you have a lot of cloth in the store, and a few of them are mine?"
The two sides were deadlocked, and Xiao Qing said to Fu Yin: "The cloth sold in Fu Yin's store, except for a few who said that it was inferior, I haven't heard anyone else say that there are inferior products. ”
"I, Xiao Qing, hereby promise that all the fabrics sold in our store will be returned unconditionally if there is transportation damage, insect bites, etc., and if there are inferior products, one horse will be returned and replaced with twenty horses."
promised in court that this matter had to be counted if it was not counted, and seeing that he was so confident, everyone believed in him more.
The shopkeeper of the cloth shop immediately brought the inferior cloth to Fu Yin: "Fu Yin, you see, this cloth has the mark of their Jinling cloth shop, both beginning and end, and there is no way to deny it." ”
It is also a common practice for cloth shops to put their own marks on their cloth.
Liu Kaicheng asked Xiao Qing to step forward: "Xiao Qing, this is the mark of your family." ”
Xiao Qing took a closer look, and it was indeed the mark of the Jinling cloth shop.
"It's indeed my store mark."
Seeing Xiao Qing admit it so simply, everyone was in an uproar, and the shopkeepers smiled triumphantly: "Look, look, he admitted it himself." ”
Xiao Qing immediately said: "There is a mark of my home, but this is not my cloth." ”
"If there is a mark of your home, why is it not your cloth? The evidence is conclusive, and he still wants to deny it, and he also asks the government Yin Mingjian to arrest such shoddy thieves. ”
Xiao Qing immediately stepped forward and pointed to a place on the cloth and said, "Fu Yin, please look here, there are traces of splicing here,"
Liu Kaicheng looked at it carefully, but he couldn't understand it.
Because the cloth of the cloth shop cannot be printed everywhere, it will only be played at the beginning and end of the cloth, so once someone splices the middle section, it is difficult for the layman to recognize, and because the other party is prepared, the workmanship is fine, and it is easy to see even an insider at a cursory glance.
Liu Kaicheng asked other people to come over and take a look, and after looking at it, they couldn't see the reason, and they wanted to find other experts to come and see, but now Xiao Qing is the target of the cloth industry, and if you come to any one of them, you will say that there is something wrong with Xiao Qing's cloth without looking at it.
Xiao Qing and the other shopkeepers began to confront each other and shouted.
For a time, the two sides were at a stalemate.
At this time, an old man in front of the public hall walked over, and many cloth shop shopkeepers, including Xiao Qing, nodded to him.
"Shopkeeper Liang."
Liang shopkeeper's full name is Liang Sheng, cloth in this line, he is a master, many of these young descendants have dealt with him, and they had to pull him out before discussing things, he didn't want to come today, but he was invited to come over if he couldn't stay up.
Seeing that the shopkeeper Liang arrived, a group of shopkeepers felt that they were winning, but Xiao Qing did not bow his head on his side.
"Grass people Liang Sheng, see Fu Yin."
"Shopkeeper Liang, don't be polite."
Liu Kaicheng, who calls everyone else by name, but Liang Sheng calls Liang Shopkeeper, this age is an advantage, you live to be a hundred years old, the emperor is quite respectful when he sees you, and longevity is a blessed person.
Seventy years old, now over seventy years old, still energetic Liang shopkeeper, Liu Kai cost is known, before their cloth was bought in the Liang family, and I have heard that the Liang family and Yuan Xiang have some relationship, so they are quite respectful.
Liu Kaicheng took the opportunity to throw the problem in front of him to the shopkeeper Liang: "Shopkeeper Liang, you are the master of the cloth industry, now the two sides insist on their own words, the official does not have a deep study of the cloth, you can be a middleman in this matter, help the official see." ”
"Thanks to the Yin of the Mansion, the grass people will rely on the old and sell the old, take a look."
"To do our business is to buy and sell, simple, but simple things have to be done with conscience, selling fake and defective products, making money with conscience, I don't look down on him, for so many years, such a person has come and gone, and in the end it is untenable."
"There should be a beginning and an end, and there should be a heart and an action."
The shopkeeper Liang, who was chattering and talking, came to the front of the cloth, lowered his head and carefully examined it, the face that was still smiling slightly disappeared, and he glanced at the other shopkeepers left and right, and seemed to be a little angry floating on his face.
The other shopkeepers looked at the face of the shopkeeper Liang was wrong, they all knew that the shopkeeper Liang was a person, and he was quite upright, but now looking at his expression, he was obviously dissatisfied.
The people around him immediately said: "Shopkeeper Liang, the Jinling cloth shop has been selling goods at a low price during this time, resulting in us having no business to do, and your cloth shop is also deeply affected by it, you look at the goods he sold this time, isn't this a fraud money?" ”
"Although the old man is old, his brain is not dim, and the cloth that he has seen with his old eyes is gone to the sea, whether it is true or false, whether it is a good product, and it is of inferior quality, and it can be seen at a glance."
Said meaningfully: "Doing business is honest, but it's not good to do some crooked ways, and smash your own signboard." ”
"Shopkeeper Liang, this Jinling cloth shop sells this kind of defective goods, but we can't do business, everyone is going to have no food, and your store should not be open for a long time."
Their persuasion was not recognized by the shopkeeper Liang, but made him very disgusted: "Starving to death is not as good as others, is it a fraud?!" ”
As soon as this statement came out, everyone despaired.
After the shopkeeper Liang inspected it, he said to Liu Kaicheng: "Fu Yin, this cloth is artificially made of follow-up splicing. ”
The crowd was in an uproar.
With the support of industry authorities, Liu Kaicheng has the confidence to try cases.
All the shopkeepers in the cloth industry who came to sue today were stunned, and the shopkeeper Liang was with them before!
However, they all respect the person of the shopkeeper Liang, and when they had this idea before, they were directly rejected by the shopkeeper Liang, and this time he came to think that he would have half of the intention of blackmailing him, after all, if something bad happened, his cloth shop would be finished.
It's just that everyone didn't expect the shopkeeper Liang to be so tough, and they would rather end their cloth shop than give false testimony.
Although everyone was angry, they couldn't help but admire the iron-clad behavior of the shopkeeper Liang from the bottom of their hearts, what kind of person is this, who can even give up his life for the morality he adheres to.
Xiao Qing immediately bowed deeply to Shopkeeper Liang: "Junior, Xiao Qing, thank you Shopkeeper Liang for speaking up." ”
Shopkeeper Liang flicked his sleeves and snorted coldly: "Young man, you have offended too many people, the old man is not speaking up for you, it's just that after all these years, you can't lie on the cloth, you can do it yourself." ”
After that, the shopkeeper Liang said to Liu Kaicheng: "Fu Yin, the grass people are old, so they have to go back to rest early." ”
"Come and send it, shopkeeper Liang."
Now the matter is clear, the people who have been waiting for a long time took the rotten vegetable leaves and carried out a baptism on the group of false accusers, and smashed their heads and faces.
"Silence!"
"Silence!"
"Silence!"
Liu Kaicheng made three consecutive shocks to calm down, and said to the embarrassed group of people: "You are waiting to falsely accuse Xiao Qing, but you are guilty?" ”
Seeing that they didn't answer, Liu Kaicheng aggravated his tone: "But you are guilty?!" ”
When the evidence was conclusive, they were powerless to resist and had to kneel down and confess their guilt.
Liu Kaicheng looked at Xiao Qing again: "Xiao Qing, you were falsely accused, and now that the evidence is conclusive, you can countersue them." ”
Under the gaze of everyone, Xiao Qing glanced at the many cloth shop shopkeepers who were smashed very badly, and said to Liu Kaicheng very respectfully: "Fu Yin Mingjian, people say that peers are enemies, but just now Liang shopkeeper spoke up, and the grass people were also moved, Liang shopkeeper and other characters are the ones I want to learn, I won't tell you shopkeepers, everything depends on Fu Yin." ”
"And all the fathers and fellow villagers, you can rest assured that the fabrics in our Jinling cloth shop will always be of good quality and quantity, and all the promises I made in front of the hall before, there is Qingtian Mingjian Mansion Yin Zai, absolutely counting."
The people cheered one after another, and Liu Kaicheng was wearing the high hat of Qingtian Mingjian Mansion Yin, and suddenly felt different.
This is not the era in the future when it is said that being an official is the master of the blue sky.
Liu Kaicheng became the first official to be compared to Qingtian, and he only felt in his heart.
This kid can talk.
……
The news quickly spread back to the warship, and Yang Guang was also quite happy to learn about it.
took out the newly made binoculars, looked in the direction of Nan Chen, and said easily: "The cloth shop has fought this battle, and the cloth business in Jiankang City will be ours in the future, but we still have to be careful recently, we still have to be cautious when transporting cloth, don't let people find out, and wait until it penetrates deeper, so deep that it can't be separated." ”
Xiao Cong said: "King Jin, your plan is really deep enough, no one notices the cloth business at all, what will happen to those huge practitioners next?" After the people of Jiankang City got used to low-priced cloth, those high-priced cloths had no market, and the people who weaved and dyed the cloth in the back had no livelihood and had to find another way to make a living. ”
"But how the hell did you manage to make the price of cloth so cheap? This doesn't make sense. ”
Then I'll take you to see it.
The warship docked, and Yang Guang took Xiao Cong to the workshop in Yangzhou.
Before I could walk in, I heard a loud noise outside, and it didn't stop for a moment.
The moment I opened the door and walked in, in the roar, the monsters made of steel were constantly moving back and forth.
The first steps of the industrial behemoth devouring the smallholder economy have begun.
