Mingmen Family

Chapter 55 Fighting Back
The tea bank of the Ye family was not robbed, and there was no shortage of funds.But if this is denied, the issuance of tea coins is difficult to explain.

So since there were rumors that the tea silver was robbed, Ye Chongming simply neither admitted nor denied it, and only used "the thing of being robbed" to blur the past.

Although Ye Yaming told him to let the rumor spread for a while and not to rush to refute it, that was when he didn't say it in front of them.

Now that people are pointing to their noses, some things have to be said clearly.As for how to say it, that is a matter of speaking skills.

At some point, Yang Hong came up from the first floor and stood on the stairs listening for a long time.

Hearing this, he couldn't help but sneered, and said, "Don't break your promise? Uncle Ye, aren't you exaggerating? How did I hear that what you gave the tenants this time was not money, but a piece of tea called 'tea'?" Currency' paper? Isn't that the same as an IOU?"

Ye Chongming knew that Yang Hong and Meng Chengwei were in collusion and was going to deal with the Ye family.But seeing him here now, I was still extremely disappointed in this person.

The Yang family also owns a tea house, so Yang Hong only came to the tea shop when he was on business, and he never entered the Fragrant House.Now it's a bit too despicable for a person to come here on purpose to make trouble for the Ye family.

As the saying goes: "A gentleman loves money, and he gets it in a proper way."

It is no problem for the Yang family to want to compete with the Ye family; it is also understandable for the people present to want to snatch the tenants from him.But merchants should also practice the way of a gentleman.

If it weren't for businessmen giving people some bad impressions, such as being immoral, cunning, calculating, and only seeing benefits, how could the status of businessmen be so low?

He has been the leader of the line for so many years, and he has been restraining the tea merchants in Lin'an with morality and integrity. He is relieved to see that the atmosphere is also good.

But once he was in trouble, the true faces of these people were immediately revealed, which made Ye Chongming feel deeply sad.

Standing behind his grandfather, Ye Jiaxing could see everyone's faces clearly, and his heart was greatly shocked.

Ye Chongming has been so rich since he was born; Ye Chongming has been the leader of the tea business since he was sensible.Wherever he goes, people will be polite to him, and some children of tea merchants flatter him because of their grandfather status.

But now he sees the cruelty of the world.

If his cousin hadn't predicted everything first, something really happened to their Ye family, and he would definitely lose his mind when he went out and saw these changes.

"Yes, due to the catastrophe of my Ye family, there was a temporary shortage of silver on hand, so we reached a cooperation with the bank to let the Baofeng Bank of Meijia issue tea coins and reserve spring tea with the tenants. The tenants took the tea coins in their hands to the Baofeng Bank to cash them in. , you can exchange it for the same amount of money. If garden households and others trade tea with me in spring, my Ye family can pay a certain amount of interest.”

He tried his best to ignore the various expressions on everyone's faces, and said to everyone with cupped hands: "People present here, if they are inconvenient in a certain year and lack the money to reserve tea, they can follow the old man's practice today and cooperate with the bank. I will do this Although it is helpless, it is also for everyone to come up with a way to solve the shortage of funds, at least not to be the leader of the line, and not to be ashamed of everyone."

As soon as he said this, many people began to "buzz".

To be honest, although the government implements the tea consultation system, it still leaves a certain profit margin for tea merchants.The reason why we do this business is because of its huge profits.Therefore, every year everyone wants to make more reservations for next year's spring tea.

Helplessly, the tea leaves have to be booked half a year in advance, and not only have to be delivered to the sales department, but also a deposit has to be paid to the tenants. Once sold, it costs tens of thousands of taels or more. How many people have such a large amount of liquidity?

You must know that there is still about half a year between Mid-Autumn Festival and Qingming Festival; and the tea leaves they have in hand cannot be sold out in half a year.Those tea leaves are pressed in my hands, but they all take up money.

Therefore, many people have to bear the pain, knowing that the profits are huge, and they can only order a small amount of tea every year.

At this moment, Ye Chongming suddenly proposed the concept of "tea coin", and everyone's thinking was opened.

If this tea coin can really work, can they do the same when they are short of funds?
So someone asked about the tea coin with interest.

"Old Master Wang, Master Li, Master Yue..." Ye Chongming pointed to a few people who either spoke comforting words or showed sympathy, "Let's go to the third floor to have a cup of tea together."

While talking, he glanced at Lin Zhensheng, the proprietor of the teahouse, with deep meaning, and then glanced at Yang Hong.

Lin Zhensheng, who is in his 50s, has worked under Ye Chongming since he was a teenager.With just one look, Ye Chongming knew what it meant.

He nodded slightly.

"Okay, okay." The invited people were very happy, and followed Ye Chongming up to the third floor.

The rest of the people looked at each other in blank dismay.

Yang Hong was not at ease when his face was smeared.Seeing this at this moment, he couldn't help mocking: "Hey, that tea coin is not the same as an IOU. The reason why it was successful is that the tenants saw Mrs. Ye's old face. And it was only once. If you do more in the future Now, who will buy it? Talking about a solution to the shortage of funds will really put gold on your face."

When Ye Chongming was surrounded by all the bosses, Lin Zhensheng, the manager of the restaurant, came out.I wanted to rescue my boss, but I didn't need him at all.

Yang Hong went to the Ye Family Teahouse to ridicule Ye Chongming. He was already extremely obscene, but now he said such things, Lin Zhen was very angry.

He immediately said: "Master Yang, a few days ago you tried your best to flatter my old man, why did you come to our teahouse to sneer at me after not seeing you for a few days?"

"Although it's normal to be warm and cold, my family is just short of funds, and there is no sign of weakness, and there is no sign of decline. You suddenly turned your face, made trouble, and came to our teahouse to embarrass my old lady. Your face is not good. Isn't it too ugly?"

He glanced at everyone: "Masters, please be careful, don't encounter difficulties in business, you'd better pray for smooth sailing for the rest of your life, otherwise, you will definitely see such an ugly face of Master Yang."

As he said that, he raised his hand to greet the fellows, pointed at Yang Hong and said, "Get him out of here."

The guys immediately rolled up their sleeves, carried Yang Hong downstairs, and pushed him outside the door.

"Hey, hey, what are you doing? Is there any Wang Fa..." Yang Hong didn't expect that the shopkeeper of the Ye family would dare to do something to him, and he suffered a big loss all of a sudden.

He also brought two servants with him, but this is the Ye family's home court, in order to avoid troubles caused by rogues, and it also takes strength to carry the teapot, so the servants recruited are all tall and strong.The two servants of the Yang family, even though they wanted to save the Lord, were held up by two waiters, and they sent them to the first floor and the door together.
