Jiangnan County, Feihong Restaurant.
Yes, Jiangnan County also has Feihong Restaurant business.
It's just that because of the lack of the imperial chef Sun Huaimin, the taste is not as authentic.
But even so, it has been well received, crushing other restaurants in Jiangnan County.
In box number three, when Gu Jun came, there were already two people sitting there.
They are Li Yuanwai and Gao Yuanwai, respectively. They can be regarded as the first-class big cloth merchants in Jiangnan County except the Gu family and the Qian family.
But even so, the two of them were worried at this time, with sad faces on their faces.
Seeing Gu Jun come in, the two of them stood up quickly and said hopefully: "Lao Li, how are you? Can things turn around?"
Gu Jun shook his head when he heard this, feeling helpless.
"That divine dragon has never seen its head. Not to mention me, even my son has never been able to see him."
When Li Yuanwai and Gao Yuanwai heard this, they were immediately disappointed.
He sighed and said, "That's right. How can that expert who taught me the number one scholar think highly of businessmen like us?"
"But if we don't ask him, the cloth business in Jiangnan County will be cannibalized by Feihong Cloth Company."
"Is it possible that the money is not available?"
"Thirty percent of the quota every year is not reached yet? If we add more, we will have no profit at all."
When Gu Jun heard this, he looked at his two colleagues with sad faces and sighed, but he was helpless.
Ever since Shen Ji Cloth Company was elected as the royal merchant last year, the cloth business in Jiangnan County has been difficult.
After all, before, the leading cloth merchant in Jiangnan County, Qian's Cloth Company, was always targeting Shenji Cloth Company.
If we don't settle the accounts at this time, we really can't say anything about the true nature of the merchants.
However, Shen Gui's means were limited after all, otherwise he wouldn't have been evenly matched by Qian Tong, a self-made man despite being far ahead in family background and resources.
But this time, things are different!
The Shen family was officially merged into the Feihong Group in accordance with the contract that year! Even Shen Ji Buhang also changed its name to Feihong Buhang.
After changing the boss, Feihong Buhang changed its normal behavior and began to suppress them vigorously!
They joined forces and were able to survive Feihong's various attacks.
No, after Jinke released the results.
Li Yuanwai and Gao Yuanwai thought that Gu Xingwen was at least fifth on the gold list. With Gu Jun taking the initiative, and each family being willing to donate three percent of the money every year, maybe the Huainan poet could give them some face and bypass them.
Now this seems... really a bit whimsical.
Gu Jun didn't even see his face.
"Everyone, the matter has come to this, why don't we think about what to do?" Li Yuanwai spoke carefully, with a look of reluctance on his brows.
"What else can we do? Compared with the new silk products from Feihong Cloth Company, our cloth is not competitive at all."
"In my opinion, there are only two ways, either to master Feihong's method of weaving and dyeing cloth, or... simply to merge it with others."
As soon as these words came out, the entire box fell silent.
Feihong's methods of weaving and dyeing cloth were all registered and even filed in the Yamen.
Even if they get it, can they really use it rashly without anyone's consent?
This path is definitely not feasible.
As for the second way...
If it were in the past, being merged by Feihong would indeed be a good choice.
Shen Ji Buhang and Zhou Ji Grain Merchant, who were originally nothing, skyrocketed to great success after receiving Feihong's help.
Regardless of how their own business is doing, just the monthly dividends they receive as shareholders of Feihong can make them jealous.
Logically speaking, if there is such a good thing, there is no reason for the three of them not to agree.
But... that was before, when Feihong was still small and had insufficient funds, so others were allowed to join the company and given the position of shareholders.
But now, after Feihong has absorbed the top ten merchants from Jianghuai County, it has already become a behemoth that can shake the economic lifeline of the two counties.
Faced with small businesses like theirs, they can just push it aside, so why do they need to give any position to shareholders?
Therefore, the so-called merger into Feihong.
To be honest, it was actually selling the shop to Feihong at a fairly reasonable price.
If they are businessmen without ambition, they will probably agree.
But the three of them are well-known cloth merchants in Jiangnan County. They have taken care of the business of their family shop for most of their lives. They will pass it on to their children and grandchildren in the future. How can they be willing to give it up to others like this?
Among the three, Gu Jun reacted the most violently.
After all, Gu Xingwen was already in high school, and his title on the gold list was Jinshi.
But what about Gu Beichuan? Although in front of Mr. Hu, some of his words were better than his songs, but as a father, how could he not know what kind of character his son was?
Most likely still a dude!
If the Gu family's cloth merchant business could stay, Gu Beichuan would be able to rely on him for the rest of his life. Under Gu Xingwen's care, he would be able to live a prosperous life with no worries about food and clothing.
Even if I go down in the future, I still have an explanation to Evian.
But if he failed to keep the cloth merchant business, what would he pass on to Gu Beichuan in the future?
Silver? No matter how much money you have, with that kid's temperament, he will probably lose everything in the casino in less than a month!
In addition, the Hu family had always disliked Beichuan, and Xingwen was an official in the court. No matter how much he took care of him, he could not take care of everything.
If you give too much money, you might be able to get someone to take advantage of you.
Looking at it this way, Gu Beichuan felt that his grandfather really didn't care about losing this shop, and his grandma didn't love him.
After three to five years, could it be that I have to go to that city to beg for food?
So for Gu Jun, he had to save this shop even if he risked his life.
"Two of you, no matter what you think, I, Gu Jun, have put the word here and merged into Feihong, and I, Gu Clan, are the first to disagree!"
“This inheritance has been handed down from our ancestors, and we won’t sell it for any amount of money!”
Gu Jun slapped the table and announced loudly to show his momentum.
When Li Yuanwai heard this, he also cheered up and said: "Brother Gu said it well! If our families join together, I don't believe that Feihong really has such a big appetite and can swallow us all in one bite!"
"Humph, I'm not afraid of holding him to death!"
Seeing this, Gu Jun nodded with satisfaction, feeling that his attitude was quite good.
Then he looked at the senior member of staff who had remained silent and said, "Lao Gao, Lao Li and I have very clear attitudes. What's your position? Tell me."
When the senior member heard this, his reaction was dull. He just said in a low voice: "Look again, look again."
"If it works, it works. If it doesn't work, it doesn't work. When doing things for others, you should be more decisive. What do you mean by looking at it again?" Gu Jun blew his beard and stared, obviously not satisfied with Gao Yuanwai's answer.
When the senior member heard this, he frowned. After all, he was a wealthy businessman. He was pointed at his nose and lectured like this. He felt a little resentful in his heart, so he said angrily: "You are speaking lightly now, but don't do that when Feihong's people come and betray you."
"Fart! Am I, Gu Jun, that kind of person? That's all I'm going to say today! If I do that thing of defecting before the battle, my whole Gu family will be dead!"
