Chapter 319: You Come and I Go
After word of mouth, the four major bookstores of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce have been very popular recently, and the bookstores are crowded every day.
On the contrary, the Lu Bookstore in the past two days can really be called a crowd.
On this day, the shopkeeper of Lu's bookstore couldn't help but say to the scholars who came and went, "You are all fooled, don't look at the cheap snow-light paper sold in the bookstore opposite, you just wait, when he closes the Lu family's bookstore, he will definitely increase the price!" ”
"The bookstore opposite is weak, if our Lu family doesn't open a bookstore, you won't have any new books to read, just wait and cry."
These words made the reader's heart feel worried.
Wu Ren naturally came out to refute the rumors, "Don't worry, on behalf of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce, I hereby announce that our snow-light paper will never increase in price within three years!" After three years, the price may be adjusted as appropriate, depending on the situation. But I promise that the price adjustment will not exceed 30%. ”
When the scholars heard this, half of that heart was put back in their stomachs, but it was just ......
At this time, Wu Ren said, "As for new books, don't worry, our bookstore will have new books on the market every month, with a minimum of ten books." If you have a lone book in your hand, you can also rent it to our bookstore for a period of time, and accordingly, our bookstore will give a high rent. ”
So, the scholars were completely relieved, and then discussed the matter of lone book rental.
"Shopkeeper, I have a lone book, if I rent it to your bookstore, how long will it take to return it to me? How much rent can you give me? ”
"This little brother, let's talk about it here, what is the title of the lone book in your hand......"
The Lu family
Lu Yuan asked the elders and principals of the Lu family who were present, "Do you have any good ideas for the current situation?" ”
The people present were all the elites of the Lu clan, and everyone began to talk to each other and discuss with each other.
When fighting with the Chen family, they have been coming up with ideas and solutions.
Now they have to deal with the newly popped Liaodong Chamber of Commerce bookstore, to be honest, they are a little helpless, and they have no way to do it.
The problem of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce bookstore is that the quality of books and paper is not inferior to their Lu family's bookstore, and the key is that the price of the other party is only half of that of their Lu family.
Are they going to cut the price to rob them of people? If this does not work, not only will it not solve the problem, but it may also backfire and provoke anger in the hearts of the readers.
Lu Yuan felt more tired than ever.
Lu Yuan didn't understand, how did things get to such a serious point?
Someone suggested, "The head of the family, why don't we invite the old master back?" ”
"Yes, please come back!"
Lu Yuan hesitated, and before he could answer, at this moment, the door of the council hall was pushed open from the outside.
First, two columns of mermaids entered, then stood still, and then, against the light, the two walked in.
This battle-
Lu Yuanhuo stood up, "Dad, why are you back?" ”
Lu Yuanheng snorted coldly and scolded, "You idiot, if I don't come back, the Lu family's industry will be defeated by you!" ”
Lu Yuan felt that he couldn't be blamed for this.
"Lu Xihua committed something like that, what are you still protecting him for? Forget it about protecting him, can't you do it secretly? You openly shielded him, are you afraid that it will not stink the name of our Lu family? ”
Lu Yuan was scolded by his own father.
He really felt so wronged! After him, after so many scholars boycotted their Lu family, he didn't care about Lu Xihua anymore.
If the county keeper wants to deal with it, he will deal with it, and he must have nothing to say.
But Lord County Shou has never dealt with it, he can't directly tell Lord County Shou to throw Lu Xihua out to vent his anger to the Chen family, right?
Lu Yuan didn't know, in fact, he was carrying a black pot for someone. Lord County Shou has been pressed and didn't deal with Lu Xihua, just to keep angering the Chen family.
"Dad, what now?" Lu Yuan asked.
Lu Yuanheng said lightly, "You give up the position of the head of the family." ”
Lu Yuan was taken aback, "What?!" ”
"You don't have to be so surprised, now that the Lu clan is at a critical juncture of life and death, you have no way to solve it, so leave it to someone who can solve it."
"Dad, who are you talking about, and who has a way to solve it?"
"Lu Fei!"
Lu Fei took a step forward, "Dad, the person my grandfather said was me. ”
"You?!" Lu Yuan didn't expect that one day, the eldest daughter would come to compete with him for the position of head of the family! "Dad, it's not a joke, is it?"
Lu Yuanheng said lightly, "I don't have the heart to joke with you." ”
The others were also dumbfounded, their Lu family wants to produce a female family master?!
"Why?" Lu Yuan asked his father.
Lu Yuanheng: "I said, she can solve the current predicament and crisis of the Lu family, isn't this reason enough?" ”
If this is true, of course it is enough.
Lu Yuan didn't believe it at all, "Can she solve it?" How did she fix it? ”
At this time, Lu Fei interjected, "Grandfather, let me say a few words, right?" ”
"At present, our Lu family's crisis lies in two points. First, it was the Chen clan's fierce pursuit and fierce attack, and our Lu clan had to deal with it mentally, which was the continuous consumption of strength. Second, it is the impact of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce bookstore on our Lu bookstore. ”
Lu Fei's words were to the point, and everyone present nodded. The current situation of their Lu family is equivalent to when the forest guards of the Lu and Chen families are fighting to the death, the fruit forest behind them is occupied by the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce. They want to stop it, but they are more than capable of it.
If they are caught between the two phases like this, their Lu family will fall one step ahead of the Chen family.
Lu Yuan said sarcastically, "That's right, which one can you solve?" ”
"It's very simple to solve the first problem, just ask Chan to stop."
Indeed, if the Chen family stopped, the Chen and Lu families would be able to live. Now it is Chen Lu and the two are mercilessly pinching each other's necks. The Lu family wanted to let go, but the Chen family didn't let go, and the Lu family could only be forced to pinch back.
Lu Yuan felt that she was thinking too well, if the Chen family listened to persuasion, would he still be helpless?
"The Chen family won't stop." The Chen family died so many people, and unilaterally declared that they had a deep blood feud with them.
Lu Fei smiled, she knew that she would wait for her to take over the Lu family smoothly. Xie Zhan's side will also start to act, and when he takes over the Chen family, it will naturally be impossible to go toe-to-toe with the Lu family.
"Then use the second method. At present, it can be said that the Lu family and the Chen family have lost both. Whoever can get a living sum of money now will have the upper hand in this battle. ”
"And I can get a lot of money. The Ruan family promised to lend me 300,000 taels of silver. ”
This is the most important thing, since the two families have been fighting, they have continuously invested money in it. Now that all the funds of the Lu clan have been invested, everyone's pockets are empty. Now the Southland is in chaos, and everyone is too busy to take care of themselves, and there is no money to borrow.
Now, no matter who the family, if there is an inflow of funds, it is equivalent to an additional external force, which may become the key to winning or losing this battle.
"Solve the Chen family, and then slowly clean up the bookstore of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce, there will always be a way."
Lu Fei's words were preliminarily recognized by the elders and principals of the Lu clan.
The solution she provided at least solved the urgent need.
The head of the family also opened his mouth to the Ruan family, but the Ruan family did not borrow it. Now they have lent it to their granddaughter, and they originally wanted to help their granddaughter ascend to the throne.
Lu Yuan is not a very capable family head, but because the Lu family bookstore is very powerful, the Lu family has not gone downhill because of him.
People are at ease, the Lu family has been forced to fight with the Chen family for so long, and the clansmen have also suffered heavy losses with the clan, and they don't want to fight for a long time. Now that Lu Fei has shown a certain ability, plus she also has the support of the old family head, the clan elders and the head of the family have no opinion on her becoming the next head of the family.
On top of that, they currently have only two options, either change heads or die. Therefore, even if the change of family owner is to drink to quench their thirst, their Lu family will have to give it a try!
As a result, Lu Fei was ordered to become the new head of the Lu family.
Knowing that Lu Fei became the next head of the family, her personal maid was in a trance, and after she came back to her senses, she said, "It's a pity that the current Lu family is not what it used to be." ”
Lu Fei smiled, she knew very well that if the Lu family did not experience this catastrophe and did not suffer a great loss of vitality, she would not be able to be the head of the family. No matter how big the cake is, it's useless if it's not hers. No matter how small the cake is, it belongs to her, and it is also very fragrant.
In the evening, the Dongcheng store of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce
"Excuse me, let it go, thank you." Wu Ren opened the way in front, and several men behind him followed him with boxes.
At this time, it was almost closed, and in the bookstore, a familiar scholar asked Wu Ren, "Shopkeeper Wu, who are you?" ”
Wu Ren smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay, don't think about it." ”
When he said this, it made people more curious.
The scholars in the store all looked outside, only to see Wu Ren outside the bookstore, sharing the burden to the people below. At his feet, there were already a lot of boxes, all of which had been sent by someone else just now.
The men who were assigned the flat shoulders picked up two boxes tied with hemp rope and left.
The scholars gathered together and discussed in twos and threes.
"What's in these boxes, it feels heavy?"
"I guess it's the revenue of the next few days."
"I think so, too, that little box contains silver, right? That big box is full of copper coins, huh? ”
"On the third day of the new opening of this bookstore, did it make so much money?"
"People are already very cheap, and they earn what they should earn."
"Yes, we can't just look at how much money people make, we also have to see if we have benefited."
"No, no, no, I mean, when the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce bookstore didn't open before, didn't Lu's bookstore make money?"
"Shall we go along and see where they carry the silver?"
"Carry it home, where else can you carry it?"
"No, Shopkeeper Wu said that he lives in the west of the city."
"But they're heading south of the city now."
"Let's go and have a look. Anyway, the bookstore is almost closed. ”
Ji's Money
Today, many people are still queuing up to withdraw money.
Ji Dashao is standing outside the money village and looking forward to it.
His appearance fell into the eyes of many people.
"Is Ji Dashao waiting for someone?"
"Seems so."
"Who? Is it worth his early wait? ”
As soon as Wu Ren appeared, Ji Dashao greeted him, "Shopkeeper Wu, are you here?" ”
"Yes, Ji Dashao, these are the revenues of our four bookstores in the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce for three days, please count them."
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say. After the counting, will they all be deposited in our bank? ”
"Yes."
In the lobby, the people who were waiting to withdraw money heard the words, and they were all silent.
Then, the boxes were lined up in the lobby, and the guys from the money bank began to count them.
Seven or eight guys, it took half an hour to finish the count. After counting, the money was deposited into the bank in boxes.
Ordinary people look at each other one by one, do they still want to withdraw money?
Wu Ren's move to save the living money is equivalent to injecting a stream of living blood into Ji's Qianzhuang and giving the people a reassurance.
Take a look again, in the lobby of Ji's Qianzhuang, there is still a pile of gold and silver that has not been moved, and now there are so many stores in the bookstore of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce, and they can't take it all, they can't take it at all.
Since then, the run crisis of Ji's money has been completely resolved.
When the two news, one good and one bad, reached Xie Zhan's side, Xie Zhan knew that his previous decision was right, and he should indeed close the net slowly.
