Dark Fairy

Chapter 122 The tactics of big merchants
"Bai Zhentang!"

As soon as Bailang came out of the house, he heard someone calling him.Turning his head, he saw a middle-aged man in black robe and black crown.This dress is either an official servant or a merchant servant.

"Is something wrong?"

"Can Bai Zhentang take a step to speak?"

"No time, just talk if you have something to do." Bailang glanced at a carriage parked behind the man, there was a very conspicuous coat of arms on the carriage.It is the largest car and horse dealer in Yongchuan City, Hengshun Car and Horse Company.

Bai Lang immediately guessed why the other party came to see him.As he spoke, he kept walking forward.

"Bai Zhentang, I'm Zhao Xun, the steward of Hengshun Chariot and Horse Company. My master heard that you won the loading and unloading business at the new wharf by the Changshui River. So I asked me to ask if Bai Zhentang Willing to resell this business to our Hengshun Car and Horse Company. The price is negotiable."

"Not for sale."

"Bai Zhentang, you are from the Qianqian workshop, and the money you receive is also from the sword shop. The money outside the knife shop is too hot for you to hold. Besides, you can't take care of it yourself. Even if you ask someone to take care of it, you will inevitably miss it. What's more, people's hearts are far away, some shameless people are very courageous, and it's not impossible to steal your money secretly."

"Eat my money? Do you know Zhang Shun?" Bailang slowed down when he heard this, and turned to look at the house slave beside him.

"Hehe, to tell you the truth, Bai Zhentang, my master used to be acquainted with Zhang Shun, and when Zhang Shun fell into trouble, my master helped him settle most of his debts. That person is ungrateful and has a rebellious heart. If he stays by his side, he will definitely become Bai Zhentang. The town hall is in big trouble."

"Help Zhang Shun settle the account? Oh, I see, so Zhang Shun's trick was played by you? Tsk tsk, no wonder I heard that your Hengshun car and horse business is growing rapidly. That's how it came about. Make more friends and eat more Meat, if you don’t have meat, cut it from your friends, right?”

"Bai Zhentang, you don't want to say this nonsense! Zhang Shun"

"Okay, okay, I don't want to listen to you guys. Go back, the loading and unloading business at the wharf, and the short-haul business in the industrial park on the edge of Changshui in the future are all mine. If you want it, then watch it Let's look at the means. I often hear people say that you Hengshun is very aggressive, and whoever blocks your money will ruin the other's family. Let's try it this time." Bai Lang glanced at the other party with a smile, Then shook his head and left.

Zhao Xun, on the other hand, froze in place after Bailang took that last look, his legs trembling slightly.Did not dare to follow up.

Back at home, Zhao Xun reported his contact with Bailang to his master.That is Hu Xia, the big boss of Hengshun Car and Horse Company.

"Bai Lang didn't even ask the price, so he refused? And you said it in an ugly way?"

"Yes master, that Bailang is extremely arrogant. He said that if he wants to do business with the new pier, let us go to him. He didn't take you seriously at all!" Although Zhao Xun was a domestic slave, he relied on The big tree of the owner of Hengshun Chariots and Horses.No matter whether he is in the business field or in the official position, everyone should give him some face.But before that Bailang looked at him like he was looking at a dog.This made Zhao Xun very uncomfortable.Even if he didn't dare to create something out of nothing, it would be perfectly fine to amplify Bailang's hostility towards Hengshun Chariots and Horses.

Hu Xia's expression froze when he heard the words, it's not that he hasn't dealt with people in the knife shop.He hasn't seen enough of those red knives in the knife shop?Not to mention a small town hall, even Liu She, the treasurer of Qianfang, would have to smile and call "Boss Hu" when he saw him.

"Bailang, what's the details?"

"Replying to the master, Bai Lang has no background. After entering the knife studio, he followed the path of Liu Xu. He is young but cruel and ruthless. In the past six months, he has become very famous in Tang Zuo Dao. Even Lin Zuo Dao has a good reputation. It is also said that Bian had a deadly feud with him. Some time ago, Gao Fei disappeared and it was said that he might have done it. But he didn't admit it."

"Liu Xu is on the same line? Huh, Liu Xu has long been an old man in the sunset under Tang Yan. What kind of power can he have? With Liu Xu, he can't get that pier. Is there any news?"

Hu Xia looks down on the people in the sword hall from the bottom of his heart, but he also understands that the sword hall is not easy to mess with.Especially before you figure out the situation.

"Also, Bailang seems to be very close to Ma Liu and Zeng Fei from Yuhua Street."

There are no secrets in the news on the street.The bastards will speak up when they have something to offer.When some news falls on the ears of a caring person, a special context can always be discerned.

"Ma Liu? Zeng Fei?" Hu Xia frowned immediately.He could look down on the people in the knife shop, but he had to pay attention to these two people.Because behind these two people are directly related to the two wives of Feng Mingyuan, the lord of Yongchuan City.It is one of the best hard relationships in Yongchuan City.

"In this way, Bailang should rely on this relationship to get the loading and unloading business of the new pier at Changshui. No wonder many people always keep silent when they inquire about the City Lord's Mansion. It turns out that it involves the City Lord's backyard. Naturally, it is not good. Elaborate."

Having said that, Hu Xia basically has a thread in his mind.

"Bai Lang is not easy to move, he is from the sword shop. The business on the dock is also not easy to move, that may be because of the face of the First Lady or the Second Lady of the City Lord's Mansion, one of them can easily get into trouble.

But the workers on the dock and that Zhang Shun don't need to worry too much.To move them is just to save Bailang's face.If you don't touch the sword hall, you won't hurt the face of the two ladies of the city lord's mansion. "

"Is the master going to go from bottom to top?"

"Huh, after all, there are thresholds for carriages and horses. There are many people with strength, but it's not the knife studio that has the final say on who can eat Lifu's rice in Yongchuan City!

The stevedores on the wharf cannot all be from Dongcheng, go find those who live in Xicheng, let the people from Xicheng Knife Shop do it, and show some color.Don't be too harsh, just don't come out of bed for three to five days.

Then let the wind out and tell those ships that are going to unload at Changshui New Wharf that we can equip each ship with five loading and unloading workers, and the wages will be [-]% of the normal price.If the price is bargained, it can be reduced to [-]%. "

"Master, is this price reduction too much? Besides, the rules of the car and horse dealers also require several parties to negotiate to lower the price."

"No. You just do as I say. It's an internal rule of our car dealership that you can't lower prices at will. What does it have to do with Bailang? When they can't turn over their staff, they can't meet the growing demand. Loading and unloading, when the time comes, all the relationships of Bailang will turn against each other. A person who cannot meet his needs will inevitably roll off from the seat that does not belong to him. After that, it will be our turn to play."

"Thank you, sir! This will surely kill that Bailang! Let's see how he can compete with me for business!" Zhao Xun slapped him away with a slap in the face.

"You can't talk nonsense about these things. Although the knife shop is not on the stage, it is an existence that can not be provoked. If the Changshui New Wharf is not too important this time, I will not fight this time. Alright, Arrange it as I said."

"It's my lord!"
