Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 75

In Wuyin County, a decisive battle is in full swing, and the east and west markets have been reduced to a bloody battlefield.

"Starting from today, Zhang's Silk and Satin Village will give back to customers by reducing the price of each kind of cloth by [-] yuan!"

Early in the morning, dozens of shops in the city issued a unified notice.

"The price has been reduced!"

"Zhang's silk and satin shop is really good!"

"I cursed them before, but now it seems that they still have a little conscience!"

"Although the price cut is a bit higher than before, it's not too outrageous!"

"I thought that Lin's silk and satin shop reopened, and as a regular customer, I had to go to support it. Looking at it now, I'd better go to Zhang's silk and satin shop to see!"

"..."

As soon as the news broke, another wave of customers turned to Zhang's silk and satin shop.

Zhang family.

"Patriarch, most of the inventory has been emptied, and there are only a few thousand pieces of cloth left. Now that the price has been lowered, it will inevitably attract customers. The cloth cannot last for a few days!"

"How many days can it last?"

"Based on the current consumption, up to five days!"

"Five days? What if we force them to cut prices too?"

"They know that we don't have cloth in our hands, and it is impossible to sell at a lower price. They will wait until we sell out, and then we will be passive!"

"But if they know that we have cloth in our hands, will they lower the price!"

"definitely will!"

"Isn't that right!"

"But we let them buy all the cloth in our hands!"

"There will be cloth coming back soon!" The corner of Zhang Heng's mouth raised a playful smile. The shopkeeper called this play an empty city trick, which he thought was reasonable.

"In this case, it will take ten days to a month at most. Even if they lower the price to grab new customers, we have some old customers, so the cloth in our hands can only be used for a month at most!" A shopkeeper replied seriously after calculating.

"That's enough!"

Zhang Heng raised a stern smile at the corner of his mouth.

He looked at an accountant and said, "Zhang Mu, from now on, all the funds of the Zhang family will be gathered together, including gold cakes and silver coins, all sent to Dao Jingping Trading Company!"

"No!" Zhang Mu is the accountant, a younger brother of Zhang Heng's family, who is quite talented in accounting, and he nodded in response.

"The decisive battle has begun. In the future, whether we will continue to be a dog for the gentry, or have a chance to stand upright and be a man, depends on this battle!"

Zhang Heng felt that he was crazy, blocking the entire Zhang family for an illusory opportunity to be a man, not crazy, but this kind of madness made the silent blood in his body boil.

……

In the Lin Family Silk and Satin Village.

"Damn, this time we can buy back our own cloth at a price that is more than 100 yuan higher than before!"

"Everyone in this family deserves to die!"

"They are too vicious!"

All the shopkeepers looked at the inventory in the warehouse, a little bit aggrieved.

Although they borrowed the power of the gentry and borrowed the hands of some strangers to secretly buy the cloth back, but this transfer made them lose hundreds of gold, and basically all their income for a year or two has already gone into it. .

"Zhang Heng, one day I will let you pay back twice as much!"

The shopkeeper Lin Sheng was the one who felt the most guilty. At the beginning, he opened up the inventory and sold the cloth, but unexpectedly, the Lin family almost fell into a situation where there was no supply.

"It's useless to say it now!" The owner Lin Mu was still stable at this moment. He took a deep breath and said calmly: "Now that the goods are back in our hands, the price is naturally our own, and we can make up for it. , all shops, open immediately!"

"No!" All the shopkeepers nodded, ready to open the shop.

"Patriarch, something is wrong!" A young man wearing the clothes of the Lin family's servant hurried in.

"what happened?"

"Zhang's silk and satin shop...they...they...the price of the cloth they bought suddenly dropped!"

"what?"

When Lin Mu heard the boy's report, he was a little angry: "How is this possible?"

"Just now, all the cloths have been announced to be reduced in price. Even the most expensive Shuchuan Jinxiu has been reduced by about [-] yuan per piece!" said the boy.

"Damn the Zhang family!"

"They are trying to force us to lower the price!"

"It's so ruthless!"

The faces of all the shopkeepers changed dramatically.

"Humph!"

Lin Mu gritted his teeth, forced himself to calm down, stabilized his mind, and said darkly: "Don't be afraid, most of the cloth in their hands is already in our hands. They don't have much cloth in their hands. We will wait until they are sold out. We are selling!"

"Patriarch, you are right!"

"They thought we didn't know, but in fact, we bought all the cloth in the dark. Now it's a great opportunity. When they don't have any cloth, the cloth in our hands will be the only one in the whole county. At that time, the price will be what we say, enough to squeeze They have no business to do!"

Lin Mu said.

The reason why he was willing to pay a high price to buy back the cloth from Zhang Heng was because of one thing. To do business, you must first control the supply of goods. A store without cloth can't be a silk and satin shop at all.

But now that the goods are in his hands, the right to control the market has also returned to him. When there is no cloth in the market, a piece of cloth will cost sky-high.

"Ok!"

The shopkeepers also regained their energy at this time, nodded and said.

……

At noon, Wuyin County, the north gate.

"Slow down into town!"

"Put it in order!"

"Two money for one person, ten money for a carload of goods, who dares to escape into the city tax, don't blame me for not having eyes!"

A dozen or so county soldiers set up passes around them, yelling and letting people into the city.

"Captain, drink some water!"

"Ok!"

Wang Xiaoer is a county soldier corporal, subordinate to the military marquis Liu Geng, and he is also on guard at the city gate today. He took a sip of water, and then said: "Let my brothers see clearly, foreigners must show their certificates. Don't let thieves enter the city!"

"promise!"

Several county soldiers nodded their heads.

"Captain, I heard that the county soldiers trained outside the city eat rice every meal!" A tall and thin man leaned forward and said, "Why can we only be on guard in the city!"

"Who told us that we are not the direct descendants of Captain Zhang?"

Wang Xiaoer whispered: "Our military marquis is a person who respects the adults in the county, and Zhang County's lieutenants are strong and strong, so they think we are transparent!"

Although the county soldiers are basically under the control of Mushan, there are also some people under the command of Cai Tu, the county magistrate, such as Junhou Liu Geng and Xu Ping, who are all under Cai Tu's command, but Mushan doesn't care much. He probably couldn't see the hundreds of troops. Secondly, he still wanted to show Cai Tu some face. After all, Cai Tu was the county magistrate.

"Crack, click, click!!!!!!"

At this time, under the city wall, more than a dozen horse-drawn carts and donkey carts were pulling heavy loads, and slowly entered with the sound of the wheels turning.

"stop!"

Wang Xiaoer quickly stepped forward and asked, "Who are you?"

"Governor, hello, we are from Zhang's Silk and Satin Factory. These are the goods we brought back from Xiangyang City. Please help me!"

A big man in the lead handed out a document, which is a customs clearance document. In today's era, you have to pay taxes when you enter the city. The customs clearance certificate is needed when students travel. The customs clearance document is a must for businessmen.

"What kind of goods are these seventeen or eight carts?" Wang Xiaoer frowned: "Can you open it?"

The leading man shook his head and said, "Officer, this is inconvenient!"

Wang Xiaoer checked the customs clearance documents carefully, and it was indeed stamped by the county government. He thought for a while and said, "Ten dollars per car, two dollars per person, and you can enter the city after paying the money!"

"Thank you, sir!"

The leading man bowed his hands, and then presented three hundred coins, and the caravan continued to enter the city.

click!
At this time, the wheel of a donkey cart suddenly hit the protruding bluestone, the cart overturned, and the goods on the cart fell all over the ground.

"A lot of cloth!"

"Look, these are fine cloths!"

A lot of people started to watch.

"Damn it, you can't even drive a cart well for useless things. If you ruin the important business of the Patriarch, I won't spare you!" The leading man was furious, raised his hand and taught the two cart drivers a lesson, and then shouted: "I'm still waiting for you!" Quickly pick it up!"

"Yes!"

A few guys stepped forward to help, packed up the cloth and put it on the cart, and a dozen carriages drove towards Zhang's silk and satin village under the gazes of the surrounding people.

"Zhang's silk and satin village, you bought so much cloth?"

"Someone said before that after Zhang's silk and satin shop lowered the price, there was no more cloth. Now it seems that it is all rumors!"

A group of common people were pointing and discussing.

The news spread quickly, and it was also sent back to the Lin family.

"It's impossible!" Lin Mu's gloomy face was dripping with water.

"Patriarch, I have seen with my own eyes that the Zhang family's caravan brought back at least seventeen or eight carts of cloth, at least ten or twenty thousand bolts of cloth. I heard it was brought back from Xiangyang!" Qing Shan said the man.

"So they went to Xiangyang to sell cloth!"

"Xiangyang has both water and land connections, blends Jiangdong and Shuchuan, and has the most cloth. It is not a problem to sell [-] to [-] cloth!"

"They actually transported a batch of cloth from Xiangyang, what should I do!"

"Then isn't our intention in vain?"

Everyone's complexion became more and more ugly.

"No wonder they sold us the cloth, it turned out that they didn't worry about the supply problem at all!"

Lin Mu clenched his fists and laughed self-deprecatingly: "I thought I could fool them, but they are the ones who are fooling us. What a Zhang Heng, I underestimate you too much!"

"Patriarch, what should we do now?" Someone asked in a low voice.

"Sale at a reduced price, ten days lower than their price!" Lin Mu said through gritted teeth.

He still has the courage to make a quick decision.

But he remembered this hatred.

"But in this way, will we suffer a big loss soon?" Some people were not reconciled.

"Humph!"

Lin Mu snorted coldly, squinted at the shopkeeper with a gloomy gaze, and said, "Our Lin family won't be able to collapse after suffering a little loss, but if nearly [-] pieces of cloth fall into our hands, our Lin family will suffer a financial cut-off, and we If we don't open again, after being forgotten by the world, who will remember our Lin family silk and satin shop in the future, for the sake of the overall situation, we can only suffer!"

A shop will be closed for three to five days, and people will instinctively forget you when they pass by.

So even if he didn't want to, after learning that the Zhang family was able to buy a batch of cloth from Xiangyang, why would he have to personally fight a price war for cloth? , he knew it was not that simple, he was already prepared...
