The shopkeeper calmed down, put down the tea cup slowly, put a smile on his face again, and then cleared his throat, "This is the purpose of inviting you all here this time."

"Buying and selling matters are based on one's ability. Naturally, we spent a lot of money to gain a foothold in the lumber industry, but we didn't expect to encounter so many taboos, which led to misunderstandings among everyone." The original owner of the shopkeeper Thinking about it, those who don’t know first are not guilty.

But unexpectedly, in the middle of his words, the person next to him immediately interrupted him, "Are you trying to coax a three-year-old child with your words? You are obviously prepared, and even a fool knows that the same thing, You just want to make a fool of yourself, don’t you mean to suppress us?”

I can't say anything anymore.

The shopkeeper's lips moved, and he wanted to say something, if you are so angry, why don't you hire a craftsman?
Of course, if you hire someone who specializes in engraving, it will definitely be very expensive.But if you were to learn like them, it would already be a year too late.

Looking at the shopkeeper's silence, the people around him didn't say anything and just drank tea.

The shopkeeper took another deep breath and glanced back involuntarily, thinking that his boss was here and would be able to tell the truth when the situation got out of control, so he told himself not to panic or get into trouble.

"I don't admit what you said. It's our first time to get involved in this area. We have to think about how we can gain a foothold in the face of old people like you. However, we also admit that our method is not well thought out. Today I specially I want to say sorry to you all." The shopkeeper raised his hands and clasped his fists, trying to appear sincere.

But what he responded to was a sneer, "So, aren't you going to do it tomorrow?"

The sudden question made the shopkeeper stunned for a moment.

Seeing that the shopkeeper didn't respond, the other party immediately added, "I mean, you guys are going to close the shop tomorrow? If you don't have this plan, you just know that it's not wise and you still do it, and then you're going to put your lips on it." As soon as you touch your lower lip, just say nothing and let it go?"

Before the shopkeeper could speak, he heard An Hongshao's gentle tapping on the table behind him, and the shopkeeper winked at the person next to him.

The other party bent down and walked behind the screen. After listening to An Hongshao's instructions, he slowly walked out and whispered in the shopkeeper's ear.

The shopkeeper's brows were furrowed, as if something was embarrassing, and he waited for the other party to speak. The shopkeeper paused for a long time before continuing, "Of course not, what we mean is that if everyone has money, they should earn it together, otherwise, How about working together?”

Upon hearing what the shopkeeper said, the people next to him seemed to change their sitting postures at the same time, and then the people behind him all moved to the back of the screen.

After receiving instructions from the people inside, they immediately sat up straight and signaled to the shopkeeper that they could speak.

The shopkeeper's hand rested on the table, "Since the carving has already come out, it is definitely impossible to raise the price or cancel it. There is no intention of going back on this business. Otherwise, we will carve the coffin for you after you have finished it. , the money is naturally cheaper than hiring another craftsman. With our mutual cooperation, we can do business together."

This means that the shopkeeper specializes in takeout skills.

"Your abacus is almost shattering our faces. Are you cooperating? Are you trying to find a way to make money for yourself?" The people below were already arguing.

An Hongshao knocked on the table again behind her, and then spoke.

The shopkeeper raised his voice, "So what do you mean?"

When the shopkeeper asked this question, it seemed that only the sound of rapid footsteps could be heard on the court, people walking back and forth behind the table and screen.

Finally, after their discussion, they all looked at the shopkeeper, "Since we have money, let's make money together. If your coffin shop is closed, we will sell it to you. We will also leave you a way to survive. Since you want to sell your craftsmanship, we will still sell it to you." I will give you the money for your craftsmanship, just the amount you just mentioned, so that no one suffers."

It sounds like it's fair.

However, the shopkeeper laughed. He was a businessman who couldn't see through everyone's tricks. "Aren't you trying to squeeze us out of this circle?" Once the shop was closed, what did those who had bought before think of them?Even if they reopen in the future, no one will believe them again.

Moreover, if they sell the good ones to others, what is the difference between this and simply doing long-term work for others?
They are a shop, but yours is a Changgong shop?

It seems that the money for doing the work is still the same, but the methods here are very different.

"We are so sincere and you are so picky. Why do you think you are capable of taking over all the business in the capital as a family?" The other party also seemed to have a feeling of being broken.

Behind the screen, An Hongshao knocked on the table for the last time.

Waiting for the people below to come out again, the shopkeeper has already stood up straight and said, "If you think of us as fools, then we have nothing to talk about. We can only show our skills on the trading floor."

Seeing that the shopkeeper was done talking, those people didn't want to say anything anymore. They shook their sleeves and left angrily.

After the room was quiet, the shopkeeper walked behind the screen and asked, "Master, is what you did today more detrimental to us?"

Originally, these people acted alone against them, but after today, they can be regarded as a group.

They didn't agree on anything during this meeting, so they gave them a chance. After leaving here, they will definitely find a place to meet again and chat about countermeasures.

The folding fan in An Hongshao's hand swayed slightly, but there was a hint of calmness on his face, "People's hearts cannot be united."

Especially the hearts of so many people.

It would be fine if they were all equally powerful, but the sizes of the shops here are different. The big shops are strong and can sustain losses for several months, but what about the small shops?
"Waiting for the afternoon, you can go there in person." An Hongshao asked the shopkeeper to go to the smallest shop to talk to him first.

Seeing that there are many people now, those who can concentrate their efforts, but as long as a hole is opened, it will only be a mess.It's a good thing that they meet now, because this way they can exchange information, and if someone can't handle it, everyone will naturally get the news.

That's when it gets really messy.

As soon as the shopkeeper heard what An Hongshao said, his heart was set.

There is no benevolence and righteousness in the trading field. Who can reach the end depends on his own ability.

After explaining these things, An Hongshao thought about returning to Lian's house as it was getting late.

The shopkeeper followed for a few steps, thinking that An Hongshao was going to the shop, but she didn't expect that she didn't mention it.The shopkeeper couldn't help but ask, "My boss, do you want to take a look at those two long-term workers?"

The person has been picked out and is waiting for An Hongshao to take a look.

It was the problem that An Hongshao saw last time. If An Hongshao didn't take a look, the shopkeeper would feel unsure.

"Just let them learn first. I'll definitely go and see it next time I have time."
