Chapter 299: All or Nothing
Chen Xiaolan sat alone in the hall, no longer with a childish and shy expression on his face, replaced by maturity and ability.
Now even if she faces those high-ranking sons, she can still deal with them with ease. When she straightened her face, those sons of the family didn't even dare to make a sound.
Because those sons of the family knew that the girl in front of them could not only bring huge benefits to their family, but also make their family's business plummet.
Now those families know what a terrible weapon great wealth is, and now this weapon is in the hands of Chen Xiaolan.
Any business in the capital may change suddenly because of her words.
Ruihexiang is having a very hard time now, because the price of silk has risen by fifty percent, and high-end fabrics have even risen by more than seventy percent. And the reason why the price of silk will rise so high is because of Chen Xiaolan's words, Qianqiu firm is ready to enter the silk weaving industry.
Qianqiu Firm's means of entering the rice industry in the capital can be said to be very simple and rude. Relying on his strong principal, he hoarded a large amount of rice and grain at all costs. Then the price of rice and grain was pushed very low, making the opponent unprofitable, or even losing money, and eventually had to choose to withdraw, so as to firmly control the market in their own hands.
So when there was news that Qianqiu Firm was preparing to enter the silk weaving industry, everyone knew that Qianqiu Firm would buy a large amount of silk first, so the price of silk rose in response, and now the price of silk has risen by 30%.
The rise in the price of silk led to the rise of silk, but Ruihexiang had to stock up in large quantities, because no one knew what would happen when Qianqiu Firm monopolized silk.
Since Qianqiu Firm has not made a move yet, Rui Hexiang does not dare to gamble, after all, it is not difficult for Qianqiu Firm to monopolize the silk industry.
When the last person to visit left, Chen Xiaolan's face suddenly showed deep exhaustion.
She picked up the teacup and was about to moisten her throat when she looked down and saw a man dressed as a servant hurrying in.
Chen Xiaolan looked up, as if someone had cast a spell, and looked at the person motionlessly.
Su Shi walked up to her, looked at her shocked appearance, couldn't help but snap his fingers in front of her eyes, and said with a smile: "Don't you think it's a surprise?" ”
Chen Xiaolan suddenly came to his senses and looked at him in surprise: "Son, why are you here?" ”
As for why Su Shi was dressed as a subordinate, Chen Xiaolan didn't care at all, and he didn't think about it at all.
Su Shi quietly calmed her tired eyes and sighed: "I've worked hard for you for a while, but you've done a good job, better than I imagined." ”
Chen Xiaolan shook his head slightly, lowered his head and said shyly: "Without Gongzi to guide me, I will always feel powerless." ”
"Your talent for doing business is the highest I have ever seen, and I have already told the princess that you will be in charge of the Qianqiu business in the future."
Chen Xiaolan looked up at Su Shi in surprise, Su Shi smiled slightly, and then nodded affirmatively.
"Why?"
"Because what you're doing now is important, and I don't want you to have any constraints." Su Shi Zhengse said: "In these two months, you must try to win over more families, and you can even make some concessions in interests." ”
Chen Xiaolan nodded hurriedly: "I know." ”
Su Shi didn't ask her what she was going to do, because he knew that Chen Xiaolan would definitely have her way.
What's more, he has more important things to do now, so Su Shi immediately asked, "Is there an abnormal situation in the Qianqiu Mass Library?" ”
Chen Xiaolan thought about it for a while, and said tentatively: "What did Gongzi say about a large number of people mortgaging their real estate during this period of time? ”
Su Shi was shocked: "How many people have mortgaged their properties?" ”
Chen Xiaolan also looked a little strange, she muttered: "Since the establishment of Dongyuan Quality Warehouse, people have successively mortgaged their own real estate loans, especially in the past seven or eight days, and they are no longer busy. As of yesterday, there should have been more than 1,000 households, and the amount of silver borrowed exceeded 5 million taels. ”
After she finished speaking, she saw that Su Shi seemed to be in a bad mood, and hurriedly said, "Childe, are you worried that someone is targeting Qianqiu Quality?" Although the shopkeeper Lu was very busy, he did not perfunctory, and although the mortgaged house was small, it was worth at least 10,000 taels of silver. For the sake of safety, the shopkeeper Lu only lent 40% of the value of the house. ”
Su Shi looked extremely worried: "I'm not worried about Qianqiu Warehouse, I'm worried that there are more than 1,000 people who are desperate and take mortgages on houses, and I don't know how many people will take out their life savings and invest in them." Moreover, will this situation also occur in the other 36 states of Daqian? ”
"What the hell is Childe worried about?"
Su Chang sighed, and then told Chen Xiaolan about the Agarwood Hall.
After hearing this, Chen Xiaolan thought for a while, and slowly shook his head: "I'm afraid this is just a scam." ”
Su Shi said with certainty: "This is definitely a scam, now you have to do two things, one is to instruct the shopkeeper Lu, now anyone who comes to the pledge warehouse to mortgage and borrow, must find out its use, if it is to take the borrowed money to invest in the Agarwood Hall, it will not be released." At the same time, the time for disbursing money should be extended a little, and from now on, all loans must be disbursed after 15 days. ”
"The second thing is that you immediately send someone to investigate, apart from the Agarwood Hall, is there any other similar thing, I want the results tomorrow."
Chen Xiaolan hurriedly said, "I'll order it right away." ”
"Also, inform Her Royal Highness the princess and Miss Qin Nanqin that I will discuss something important with them tomorrow, and it will be set for tomorrow." Speaking of this, he thought for a moment, and then ordered: "After noon, you send a carriage to the back door of the general's mansion to pick me up." ”
Then he patted his body and said with a smile: "I was in a hurry today, and I didn't have a copper plate with me, so lend me some money." ”
Chen Xiaolan only felt amused for a while, and then took out ten taels of silver from his sleeve.
Su Shi took the silver and couldn't help but smile and said, "The female head of the dignified Qianqiu business, does she only bring ten taels of silver with her when she goes out?" ”
Chen Xiaolan blinked mischievously: "You also know that I am the female head of Qianqiu Firm, do you still need me to pay when I go out?" ”
Su Shi kept nodding and said with a smile: "That's right, I don't know what the female boss is going to eat tonight?" Can I eat and drink on the side? ”
Chen Xiaolan said: "I originally planned to go to Xiangmanyuan tonight, but since Gongzi wants to go with him, then we can only ask the nearby restaurant to bring the wine and food to the quality warehouse." ”
Su Shi was stunned: "Why?" Am I not worthy to go to the Garden of Incense? ”
Chen Xiaolan couldn't help but laugh and said: "Childe's dress is naturally not wanting to attract the attention of others, but now no matter where I appear, there will be people who want to talk to me about cooperation." In this way, it is easy for them to find out that the person next to me who is dressed as a subordinate turns out to be Su Gongzi, who is still under house arrest by His Majesty. ”
