This small breakfast shop in Huilong Town is like an inconspicuous little mud puddle on the roadside. I never thought that one day such two big fish swimming in the river and sea would meet here.
Following Qin Yuwen's obviously unkind words, the Qin family's men immediately stepped forward and surrounded Xia Jingyun and Chen Fugui with fierce looks on their faces.
Xia Jingyun was not afraid at all. He looked at Qin Yuwen and said calmly: "Master Qin wants to take action? If you dare to kill me here so openly, do you believe that your entire Qin family will have to be buried with me?"
Qin Yuwen's eyes were red, but his reason was still there. Hearing this, he waved his hand and asked his men to disperse.
Xia Jingyun's tone suddenly softened, and the smile reappeared on his face, "That's right. I came to Brother Qin to help you. We don't need to get so tense!"
"help me?"
Qin Yuwen sneered, "This is interesting, the sun is coming out in the west?"
Xia Jingyun lifted up his robe and sat down across from him. Then he glanced at Deng Jinbiao and others behind him and said nothing.
Qin Yuwen was not unfamiliar with such a look, so he waved his hand again to let them all leave.
The guard on the side was hesitant, Qin Yuwen said calmly: "Similarly, if he dares to hurt me like this, the Marquis of Jiang'an will also be miserable!"
After everyone retreated, Xia Jingyun said sincerely: "Brother Qin, I'm really here to help you."
Qin Yuwen frowned and didn't believe it.
Xia Jingyun continued: "When these Beiliang people run away, are you afraid that many ducks will hit your hands? What are you going to do?"
Qin Yuwen raised his eyebrows, but he was obviously more interested than before.
"Sell it to me and I'll help you and solve a problem for you."
Xia Jingyun's sudden words left Qin Yuwen stunned.
Although he was extremely hostile to Xia Jingyun, as a businessman, he should recognize the money and not sell it to anyone!
Naturally, it was impossible for Xia Jingyun to offer such a high price, but even if it was only a hundred cents, he could still stop his losses.
So he said: "How much can you pay?"
Xia Jingyun stretched out two index fingers.
Qin Yuwen looked defensive and suspicious, "Can you pay two hundred cents?"
Xia Jingyun smiled, "Brother Qin, what are you thinking about? I said twenty coins."
Qin Yuwen's expression froze, then he became furious and slammed the table, "Xia Gaoyang! How dare you entertain me, do you really think that I dare not do anything to you?"
Following his movements, the dishes on the table shook, and the men guarding outside the house immediately stepped forward and surrounded the door.
Xia Jingyun's face was as calm as a lake, not panicking at all, "Brother Qin may not have recognized the reality yet, let me analyze it with you."
"It doesn't matter that these Beiliang people raised the price of this duck to one hundred coins, two hundred coins, or even one tael of silver each, but they left. There is no such thing as taking advantage of others to raise the price. This duck , it’s only worth forty cents each! Don’t have any more sweet dreams with a price of one or two hundred cents.”
"Secondly, you have a conservative estimate of 200,000 ducks on hand now. Can you raise so many ducks? It is true that the Qin family controls most of the market in Zhongjing, but you are in the distribution business. If you are breeding, you don't have that Given the conditions, isn’t it cost-effective to just keep raising ducks? With so many ducks gathered together, if you don’t pay attention, duck plague will break out, and tens of thousands of people will die if something goes wrong, and you’ll lose all your money by then?”
"Finally, even if you have figured it out but don't want to sell it to me, who do you think you can sell it to? Who among the families in Gyeonggi Province will buy it? You took advantage of it, and when it was sold for one hundred and fifty coins outside, , you relied on the prestige of the Qin family to forcefully buy it for sixty or seventy cents per tael, can you afford to sell it back now? Do you really think that everyone is a clay figure and have no temper? Or is it your Qin family? Is your face so cheap?”
Qin Yuwen was silent.
He was convinced by Xia Jingyun.
Indeed, the ducks he has now are really troublesome.
Zhongjing City can only consume so many thousands of ducks every day. If they don't sell them, they can only keep them. Not to mention the cost of raising them, and the possibility of accidents. Although he has never raised poultry, he heard it from his subordinates last night. , the most fearful thing is that the plague will break out once death occurs.
But now Xia Jingyun is charging him 20 cents. Isn't this a slap in the face?
It's just two to thirty thousand taels of capital, so what if you throw it all away?
Does he, the dignified Mr. Qian, have to ruin his face just for this little bit of money?
Just when he was thinking about it and was about to break the jar, Xia Jingyun spoke again.
"Brother Qin, let me tell you something that comes from my heart. Do you know what your real problem is?"
Qin Yuwen looked at him.
"Because of your personal dispute with me, you took action against me, a little guy who seems to have no background in financial resources and business matters. At this time, you have no problem. As the heir of the Qin family, this is your responsibility. As domineering and privileged as they should be.”
"But when I neutralized your offensive cleanly and showed that my business skills are not inferior to yours, you didn't stop. After my sister set up a platform for peace talks between us, you were still blinded by anger. Brain, take action against me again. At this time, you have lost some of the rationality and judgment that a qualified businessman should have. I believe that the head and elders of the Qin family will not be very happy to see the heir of the Qin family behave like this, right? "
"The second time you attack, after fighting with me for so long, the loss must be 50,000 to 60,000 taels of silver, right? With such a huge sum of money, you haven't finally won. How do you think your clan elders will look at it? You? Do you think that you are ambitious and weak, but weak and incompetent? Do you think that your next head of the family is a sure thing?"
"Finally, you got involved in this duck matter for another twenty or thirty thousand taels. If you are so angry that you just ignore it and throw away the mess, then you are happy. What do you think they will think of you?"
Xia Jingyun thought deeply about each sentence, and then said: "But if you sell the duck, especially to me, the meaning is different."
"This means that after experiencing setbacks, you have matured and begun to know how to bow your head. You know that even if you are red-eyed at the loss, you can make rational judgments as long as you can recover the losses. Even if the opposite party is me, the culprit, who you think is not good. We are mortal enemies. This quality may not matter to other families, but how important it is to a business family, I don’t need to say more, right?"
"With this, maybe you can get a blessing in disguise. Even to a certain extent, even if I spend sixty or forty coins to buy your duck, it is not as valuable as these twenty coins. If you give up this little money, What you win is their praise and approval for your spiritual growth, and the consolidation of your position as the heir of the Qin family."
"So, Brother Qin, think about it carefully."
After Xia Jingyun finished speaking, he stopped talking, picked up an uneaten bun on the table with a smile, and started chewing it slowly.
Qin Yuwen thought in silence for a while, and was completely convinced by Xia Jingyun, but still reluctantly asked the last question, "Thirty Wen?"
Xia Jingyun spread his hands and said, "Originally, it was possible, but now that you have beaten me to the point where I have no money, I can only afford twenty coins."
Qin Yuwen now had a feeling: he sat up in shock while dying of illness, and the murderer was actually myself.
"Okay! Twenty coins then."
"Brother Qin is wise. I believe that after this incident, the Qin family will do great things in the future under the leadership of Brother Qin!"
Qin Yuwen kept a calm face and remained silent.
Xia Jingyun took out two contracts from his arms and said with a smile: "Brother Qin, let's sign the contract first."
Qin Yuwen twitched the corner of his mouth, feeling that he was completely controlled by Xia Jingyun, but he also agreed with Xia Jingyun's previous words. For him now, the most important thing is to stabilize his position in the clan, and he must not lose the big for the small.
As for Xia Jingyun, today's revenge will be avenged tomorrow!
So he suppressed the anger in his heart, endured the humiliation, asked someone to find pen and ink, and signed the document.
Then, the two parties made another transaction, watching the people from Jiang'an Hou's Mansion returning, happily buying the ducks they had bought an hour ago for one hundred and fifty wen each, and using them for twenty wen each. Only the price was pulled back, and the faces of the Qin family were as dark as the bottom of a pot.
Soon after, Manager Wu escorted the remaining ducks over. After a handover that made them confused, the people from the Jiang'an Marquis Mansion left with cage after cage of ducks.
Watching the long team go away, Xia Jingyun suddenly walked up to Qin Yuwen and looked at him, "Brother Qin, can I take a step to speak?"
Qin Yuwen did not refuse and walked aside with him.
Both of their guards followed behind them.
"What's the matter?"
Xia Jingyun smiled and said, "There is something I want to tell Brother Qin about."
Qin Yuwen looked at him doubtfully.
Xia Jingyun whispered: "The Seventh Princess of Northern Liang is indeed ill, but don't you think it's a bit ridiculous to treat the disease with duck blood?"
After saying that, Xia Jingyun got on his horse, whipped it and rode away.
Qin Yuwen stood there blankly, the events of the past few days running through his mind like a revolving lantern. The unreasonableness in each piece of information gradually became apparent, and gradually combined into a conjecture that was enough to make him collapse!
"Xia Jingyun! I swear to kill you!"
Qin Yuwen spit out a mouthful of blood and fainted.
