Qin Liuxi has never seen Mrs. Wang show weakness and hesitation. Even when she first returned to her old house, her face was thin and haggard, but her back was straight. Those days were even more difficult than now. She It was also handled calmly.
This is the first time I have seen him as miserable and panicked as he is now.
Qin Liuxi had a gut feeling that something was wrong with the Wang family.
When Ms. Wang heard her asking, her eyes were a little sore, and she felt a kind of suffocation in her chest, so much so that she forgot that the girl in front of her was just a child who had just grown hair.
But she suddenly felt the desire to talk.
Mrs. Wang smiled bitterly and said, "Have you seen it? In the past, when I was the mistress of the deep house, I only had to sit and point out the country and read the account books. But I didn't know that doing business is very knowledgeable. If you don't pay attention, you will fall into a trap. Here, I was deceived to the point where nothing is left."
When Qin Liuxi heard this, he looked at her face carefully. Although she was frustrated, she did not look like she had lost money, and said, "Did you meet a liar? But you still stayed calm and didn't let him cheat."
"If you hadn't mentioned it in advance, we would have signed the documents and then been defrauded of the payment for the goods." Ms. Wang was a little excited.
Although she and Qin Meiniang had both been matrons before, this was their first time doing business themselves. In the past, they had a dowry shop, but they had servants to help manage the affairs. They only needed to listen to them for a year or half a year. The manager just needs to go back to the accounts and make some decisions.
Even if something goes wrong in the dowry shop, the stewards will make a plan and then let them make the decision.
But after they got started, they discovered that there was a lot of knowledge here. Not to mention anything else, they were very blinded by just a way to get raw materials. They happened to meet a broker at the dock, and he had a candied fruit that was better than the ones on the market. The way to make raw materials much cheaper is to make them in larger quantities.
Wang and the others were naturally happy. To be cautious, they followed the other party to the seller's warehouse to have a look. They found that they were indeed excellent and fresh fruits. There were also relevant sales documents. However, the other party's request was to take a large amount, and the quantity taken was small. If they don't pay, they have to pay for the goods immediately, and they don't wait until it's late, because they are also in a hurry to return.
Qin Liuxi heard this and asked, "Manager Li didn't follow you?"
"Follow me." Mrs. Wang sighed and said: "Their brilliance is that the documents and goods are all real. It's just that the warehouse is rented and they sell several goods. Those goods have already been bought by someone. They just wait. Come to buy goods."
"Then how did you find out?"
Mrs. Wang said solemnly: "Your eldest aunt thinks this product is worth buying. Manager Li also said that the cost of getting it is indeed lower, but I thought of your words and couldn't be in a hurry, so I made an excuse to raise money and let Li do it." The manager went to find someone to inquire about. But in just one day, before we could find out anything, you asked what happened, but he actually wanted to buy three goods in one. The merchant ran away long ago, and we didn't know until the second buyer came to buy the goods. If I get fooled, I'll beat the broker and bring him to court."
Thinking that they had almost been defrauded of a sum of money, Ms. Wang broke out in a cold sweat, feeling angry and anxious.
"If you hadn't mentioned it, we would have taken that batch of goods and been taken advantage of."
Qin Liuxi frowned: "Uncle Li has been in Licheng for so long. It stands to reason that he knows a few brokers, but he didn't realize that the broker is a liar?"
Wang said: "The broker only came to Licheng recently, and you said he was a liar. He also said he was a victim, just a middleman, and didn't know how much the merchant sold the goods. And who do you think he belongs to?" people."
"who?"
"Brother of the third wife of the Ding family."
Qin Liuxi raised his eyebrows: "Why are there people from the Ding family everywhere?"
Wang said coldly: "With the Ding family as a guarantee, this broker will go to court, and at most he will be fined a little money, and he will be fine. As a middleman, he not only sells houses, property and goods, but also Borrowing money with interest.”
Her words were filled with contempt and disdain, and she said: "Mr. Li asked Shulu to find out, and the money lender was Mrs. Ding San. Back then, your grandfather thought that they were all from the same hometown, so he recruited Ding San, who came from a poor family. Shouxin, he also calls your grandfather sir to the outside world, but he didn’t expect that Ding Shouxin has become a powerful official, but he doesn’t know how to be a good person, and he allows his family to do such a derogatory thing, which is really unworthy of the table. "
It's normal for a broker to cheat, but Mrs. Ding San's lending money at interest is unethical. After all, this kind of money is released to collect high interest, and who among ordinary people would borrow money at interest?
Either he is in urgent need of money, or he is a gambler. No matter which one he is, once he fails to pay, it will be life-threatening. After all, gamblers also have families. If he fails to pay, isn't it a drag on his family?
Therefore, Mrs. Wang is very disapproving and resentful of Mrs. Ding San's behavior.
What a crime!
Qin Liuxi tapped the table and said, "Do you think the Ding family knows you are doing business?"
Wang was stunned. She was not stupid. She immediately understood the meaning of Qin Liuxi's words and said, "Do you suspect that the Ding family deliberately led us into a trap?"
"It's hard to say without evidence."
Wang thought for a while, shook her head and said, "Probably not. We have no enmity with the Ding family. Your grandfather even supported Ding Shouxin when he was in power. Now, although our family has been defeated, it can't hinder them in anything. They can just stand by and be unwilling to help, so that they won’t add insult to injury and be framed, right?”
Qin Liuxi smiled and said, "Mother, some people are prosperous. Do you know what they least want to do?"
Wang: "?"
"It's the person they were when they were poor. They wish they could completely eliminate this poverty without anyone knowing about it, bury their past dissatisfaction deeply, and only show the pride of success to others, highlighting their wealth and achievements, instead of letting people remember their abjection. When it's cold." Qin Liuxi smiled lightly and said: "I dare not say whether the Ding family has this mentality, but if so, then there is no such thing as innocence, it is purely evil."
Wang was stunned, and a chill ran down his back.
Qin Liuxi saw that she seemed to be frightened, so he comforted her: "Let's not mention this matter for the time being. It is a great blessing that there is no loss. As for the raw materials, let Mr. Li go visit Mr. Qian whom I mentioned before. His family is doing business, so it is somewhat In addition, I also got two people in Ningzhou Mansion. They are servants released by the prison officials. They can make tea and fruit cakes, and their skills are good. They are all available. You can bring them to the shop. When the workshop is open, let them They can just make candied tea fruits according to the recipe."
Wang was overjoyed: "Is it reliable? After all, it is the formula you gave me. It is not allowed to be leaked. Do I have to sign a death contract?"
"It's been signed, and I've met them personally. They are all loyal and reliable. Once the shop opens, and I give them enough money, they will feel more at ease working in the shop."
"That's natural." Mrs. Wang's eyebrows relaxed, and seeing Qin Liuxi's calmness, she sighed: "Look at me, I panic when something trivial happens, but I'm not as calm and calm as a little girl like you. I'm really ashamed."
Qin Liuxi chuckled softly: "As the saying goes, one learns from every experience. After this incident, you will know better whether you are doing business yourself or listening to the manager's reply. That's right, that guy from the northeast in the old lady's room Servant, is my sister-in-law’s roommate?”
Thank you guys for the tickets, Zhamo will work hard to make progress.
