Waiting and waiting, after waiting for the Double Ninth Festival, and waiting until mid-September, the business of Chu's paper money shop was indeed as expected, and it suffered a big blow. The customer flow was small and the sales volume dropped. Even the upcoming Winter Clothes Festival seems to be unable to completely reverse this bleak situation, but there is still no news of the Chu family's price reduction!
Huang Liang paced indoors with his hands behind his back, waiting for Hu Shun to come back and tell him the news. From the beginning of September to now, the rumors they spread have spread to everyone.
Judging from the number of people who come to buy paper money from him every day, we can know that his strategy must have been successful, but we don't know what went wrong. There was no movement at Chu's shop, and there was no sign of worry at all. Or they want to lower prices, as if they are not the ones whose business is bleak!
At this time, Huang Liang was not as interested in smoking, drinking tea, and singing songs as before. Seeing Hu Shun push the door open and enter the house, he hurriedly asked: "How are you today? Is there something going on over there?"
Hu Shun shook his head, sat down on a chair nearby, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip: "I told you earlier that this method of losing money cannot be used, and my cousin refused to listen. But now it's good. Not only did they not be fooled, but the shop also It's going great, we can almost get ourselves in!"
They have been buying goods at a loss for more than ten days, and more and more people are coming to take advantage. If they continue to lose money like this, they are afraid that they will close down before the Chu family!
"Don't fart there. Why didn't I see that you weren't happy when I said I'd help you make money? Whoever does business only makes money and doesn't lose anything!"
Hu Shun pinched his neck and choked: "That's not like losing money to make a profit, buying goods at a loss!"
When Huang Liang heard this, he grabbed the bowl in Hu Shun's hand and threw it to the ground with a "pop" sound: "If you are scared, just say so. I will join you as a loser now, but I have to say it first. If this shop makes a lot of money by then, it won’t even have anything to do with your half penny, Hu Shunke!”
Hu Shun sat on the chair and glanced at Huang Liang a few times. Although he didn't dare to say anything on his face, he was really dissatisfied in his heart!
Huang Liang said it nicely at first, why he could make a lot of money by himself, but it turned out that the house was owned by his family, the bullock cart was owned by his family, and he also contributed 30% of the capital. Why should he pay when he pays? If he makes money later, it won’t be his share!
When Huang Liang saw that Hu Shun was silent, he knew that he had a hold on him and kicked the table leg next to him: "Why don't you do it now? It's just one sentence, don't bother with your fucking grinding!"
Hu Shun gasped and responded in a muffled voice: "Fuck!"
"Just obey me! Go to town tomorrow and look for me with the cheapest purchase price. We can still rely on the Chu family, but I don't believe that they can continue to rely on this!"
"Yeah." Hu Shun agreed reluctantly.
"Also, what happened to the things I asked you to inquire about before?"
"The followers said that in addition to having a workshop to make paper ingots, the Chu family also had several people who delivered goods to the yard every day. Chu Yi, his cousin, his father-in-law's brother, and a man named Zhao Cheng were also their dependants. From a mountain village.”
"Why are they all his relatives... Forget it, someone else will go to town tomorrow, and the two of us will go meet the guy named Zhao Cheng!"
The next day, Huang and Hu deceived Zhao Cheng's house into opening the door under the guise of passing by asking for a drink of water!
The matter of Hu's and Chu's two paper money shops has been aroused recently. There is no one in the nearby villages who doesn't know about it, let alone the Zhao Cheng family who have common interests with the Chu family!
Therefore, although Zhao Cheng and his mother-in-law, Mrs. Zhu, have never met anyone from the Hu family, it can be seen that since they entered the courtyard, they have been asking about Zhao Cheng and asking about making paper money. They guessed that these two people were afraid of I’m not really here to borrow water!
The more Ms. Zhu looked at these two men with sly eyebrows, the angrier she became, feeling that her family's efforts were really in vain! He went up and grabbed his own porcelain bowl, turned around and took the yard sweeper, and greeted the two of them!
"Two evil-hearted profiteers! Get lost! I haven't come to find you yet, but you have already arrived at my door. If you don't leave, I will beat you!"
In the Chu family's shop, Zhao Cheng and Chu Ping, who were delivering goods, happened to meet each other. After loading the goods, they were sitting in the shop chatting, and then they heard Zhao Cheng talk about what happened this morning!
"Then what about Brother Cheng? What else did those two people say?" Chu Ping really didn't expect that these two people would dare to run to Zhao's house!
Zhao Cheng thought of the scene he saw when he opened the door and thought it was funny: "We were talking about cooperation. Why don't you tell me who you want to work with to make money? I was beaten out with a broom by my mother-in-law!"
"Auntie did a good job! If my cousins hadn't stopped me, I would have wanted to beat those two turtle grandsons!"
Chu Ping raised his chin as he spoke: "No, those two stalkers are here again. They squat here every day. It's annoying to watch. I don't know what they want to do!"
"I guess he wants to see when we can follow suit and lower the price." Shen Luzhu said, pouring the freshly brewed tea to everyone.
Speaking of the two people who were following him, Chu Yi discovered them. During the first few days, he was making coffins in the courtyard. While working, he accidentally looked up and saw two people outside his courtyard gate and in the woods opposite the village road. The person has been squatting there, looking towards his home from time to time. When he sees him looking up, he will subconsciously avoid it.
Chu Yi secretly kept an eye out, and after observing quietly for two days, he determined that this person was here to keep an eye on his family. As for who sent him, he knew it without even thinking!
"The Hu family must have been unable to sit still after seeing that we didn't lower the price. They went to my house today. They probably wanted to get money and burn paper!"
After hearing Zhao Cheng's words, Chu Ping clicked his fingers: "Then he'd better come to my house and see how I can deal with him!"
"You probably have no chance."
"Cousin, you can't wait to deal with them? Just call the door? Then you can't go alone. No matter what, you have to take Brother Cheng and me with you. I still have a chance, hehe!"
Shen Luzhu smiled and explained for his husband: "Chu Yi means that most of them will not go to your house!"
"Why, cousin?"
"They came to the Zhao family first. They probably thought that the other three families were related to us and only the Zhao family was not. But they didn't know that Brother Zhao and Chu Yi have a very good relationship! Besides, our two families are so close, how could they dare? come."
Chu Ping sighed: "Yes, but it's really frustrating to keep doing this, doing nothing, and letting them do whatever they want!"
"Don't be anxious. Since they have already found the Zhao family, it means that our method is effective. The more anxious they are, the more likely they are to cause problems, which is actually more beneficial to us!"
In fact, Shen Luzhu and Chu Yi didn't intend to stay like this, but they haven't thought of any good way to fight back at the moment. They can only treat others in their own way, and let him pay for himself for a while first!
After all, if someone wants to lower prices, I can't stop them, and I don't want to stop them if I don't use them.
There is also that rumor that is full of loopholes, and there is no need to explain it. Do you really think that everyone in the village is a fool? The prices of our own yellow paper and white paper have always been the same as those sold in the town. Is it possible that the whole town is raising prices and deceiving people?
When most people go shopping, it’s actually just to take advantage of it!
On the other side, Huang Liang and Hu Shun ran into a wall at Zhao's house, and turned their attention to Jiang Juan. After leaving Zhao's house, they went straight to Zhutun Village.
Since being stopped by Wang Tiecheng last time, Jiang Quan has taken over the job of delivering paper money, and Jiang Juan is even more reclusive on weekdays. Jiang Juan didn't know if Wang Tiecheng had ever tried to stop her again, but she hadn't heard anything about Wang Tiecheng since then.
She originally thought that this matter would just go away, but today she was just taking Xiaobao out to deliver food to her father and younger brother in the fields, and she was blocked by Wang Tiecheng again!
As soon as Jiang Juan saw Wang Tiecheng, she hurriedly picked up Xiaobao and walked back. However, she was carrying a food box and a child. Before she could run far away, she was overtaken by the man behind her.
Forced to stop, Jiang Juan hugged Xiaobao tightly in her arms and looked at the door of her courtyard not far away, feeling much more at ease.
"Jiang Juan, you are quite good at hiding. In order to hide from me, you didn't even leave the courtyard, right?"
"Wang Tiecheng, what do you want to do?"
"What are you doing? What do you think I want to do? Jiang Juan, stop pretending to be stupid for me! If it weren't for me, how could you have such a good cousin? You are rich now, give me some money to spend. Don’t go too far!”
"I don't have any money, and I won't give it to you if I have it! If you stop me again, I will let my watch go..."
Before Jiang Juan could finish her words, Wang Tiecheng interrupted her with a strange smile: "Sure, didn't you just ask your cousin to report to the police to arrest me? Isn't that what you said last time? What's the result?"
Wang Tiecheng said, took two steps forward, stretched out his hand and pinched Xiaobao's face: "I, Wang Tiecheng, will die, but it doesn't matter! Even our Xiaobao will have a father in jail in the future, and I don't know what will happen to him in the future. Will you be bullied by other little brats in the village?"
Xiaobao had not seen Wang Tiecheng for almost a year, and now he was very resistant to his touch. He buried his face in her mother's neck. Jiang Juan noticed the child's reaction, patted her to comfort her, and rushed to her mother's side. Wang Tiecheng cursed: "Wang Tiecheng, are you still a human?"
Wang Tiecheng seemed to have heard some joke, and suddenly he couldn't help laughing: "Human? Hahaha..."
Smiling, the expression on his face changed, he stared at Jiang Juan ferociously, and patted himself with his hands: "I, Wang Tiecheng, am now a dog that everyone calls for beating! My money is gone, and my home is gone. Now, even my son belongs to your Jiang family. My brother will separate our family no matter what! All of this is because of you, because of you Jiang Juan! If it weren’t for you and your nosy cousin, Sister-in-law, I would never be like this! It's all because of you!"
Looking at Wang Tiecheng who was almost crazy in front of her, Jiang Juan backed up while protecting Xiaobao, fearing that he would hurt herself and her children: "I didn't cause you to do this, please calm down...Actually, you are a good person. You were very good before. Yes, it’s true! It’s all about gambling, yes! It’s all about gambling that has caused you to be like this. As long as you are willing to stop gambling, everything will be fine...everything will be fine!"
Jiang Juan's words seemed to have some effect. Wang Tiecheng seemed to have calmed down a bit and murmured to himself: "Bet... yes, bet money..."
Wang Tiecheng suddenly raised his head and looked at Jiang Juan on the ground with surprise: "Bet! Only gambling money will not betray me! But I have no money now. Give me some. As long as you give me money, I promise not to betray you again." Haunting you!"
"I don't……"
"No? Jiang Juan, is money more important, or is your son more important?" Just as he was talking, Wang Tiecheng suddenly rushed over and reached out to grab the little treasure in Jiang Juan's arms!
Originally, Aunt Cui was supposed to deliver meals every day. Seeing that the weather was nice today and thinking that her daughter had not been out of the yard for a long time, she urged her to take Xiaobao out for a walk and deliver meals to his father and son!
But everyone has been out for a long time and has not come back. Aunt Cui was about to go out to greet her when there were two men outside the courtyard door and were about to knock on the door.
"Who are you?"
The visitors were none other than Huang Liang and Hu Shun: "Madam, does Jiang Juan live here?"
Looking for your own daughter? Aunt Cui hesitated: "Who are you?"
Seeing that the woman in front of him was a little wary of him, Huang Liang rolled his eyes: "Are you the aunt? We are friends of Chu Yi, and we came to tell cousin Jiang Juan something about paper money!"
Aunt Cui seemed to have heard her daughter mention that there seemed to be someone else helping Chu Yi, so she didn't raise any suspicion: "Jiang Juan went to deliver food to the boss. I was about to go out to look for her. Come with me." Bar!"
Aunt Cui took Huang and Hu and walked in the direction of their farmland. Not far away, they saw a man and a woman in front of them who seemed to be grabbing something. When they took a closer look, it was not their daughter Jiang Juan!
