The sky is a little gloomy, and the wind rushes into every corner of Chang'an City with bursts of coolness. It penetrates into the cracks in doors and into people's necks, which is annoying. The bustling streets are much deserted, but the department stores are still overcrowded. Many people
He hurriedly came to buy the daily necessities needed for the day, and left in a hurry.
Not long after, carriages came one after another, as if they had made an appointment. After they parked, people in fine clothes jumped out of the carriages, greeted each other, talked and laughed, and headed towards the mall together.
Soon, these people came to an elegant hall. Jia Youcai, who was dealing with business, saw everyone coming together and had already prepared. However, he didn't expect that they would arrive a few days earlier than expected. He sneered in his heart, but he didn't point it out.
He greeted me with a smile: "What kind of wind has brought all the shopkeepers here? The flowers are shining brightly. Please take a seat quickly."
Life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills.
Everyone returned the favor with their hands in hand, and their faces were full of smiles, full of drama.
One of the obese men said enthusiastically: "Butler Jia, I'm going to send you some money."
"Oh, how do you say this?" Jia Youcai asked knowingly and made a gesture of invitation.
A bunch of people sat down around a huge coffee table. There was not enough space, so many people just stood there. Jia Youcai pretended not to see it, and skillfully boiled water to make tea. Since Qinjiazhuang's business has grown, Jia Youcai
What kind of battles have you never seen? He has long since become a human being.
Everyone came here for ulterior motives, and no one cared about etiquette. The fat man continued: "Steward Jia, I was entrusted by my boss to come here to ask if the soap, liquor, paper, books and other items in your house can be purchased at a reasonable price.
sell?"
"Oh, what price do you want?" Jia Youcai asked calmly.
"The current selling price is 30%, but don't worry, we want a large quantity. If we purchase one million pieces per month, the 30% discount is not low. Not to mention the large quantity. I have just calculated that your house can still make a lot of money every month?
"The fat man said with a smile, as if he was doing it for his own good.
Thirty percent is equivalent to cost price sales. Of course Jia Youcai would not agree, but he remembered Qin Huaidao's instructions and did not immediately get into trouble. He looked at the others and asked, "What about you?"
One person immediately said: "We have the same idea. The Chang'an market still belongs to your government, but the Chang'an market is left to us. As for how to allocate it, we will discuss it ourselves. No one needs different amounts, but it must be at least not less than fifty per month."
Wan Guan, if we add it all up, we will purchase millions of Guan each month, and your government’s profit will only be greater than it is now."
"That's right, we will sell our goods to various roads, states, and prefectures in the Tang Dynasty, whether Chang'an or your prefecture. How about we promise not to interfere?" another person agreed.
He said he wouldn't interfere, but who knows what he actually did secretly?
What's more, 30% is just cost, no profit, and you have to take risks and work for others for nothing. This abacus is really precise. Jia Youcai said calmly: "Thirty percent is the return of capital, which is not appropriate."
"How is it possible? We have calculated that 30% will definitely make a profit. Although it is not as much as now, but the volume of goods we want is large, small profits but quick turnover, the actual profit will be much higher than yours." The obese man said immediately.
If someone else did it, 30% would indeed be a little profit, but Qinjiazhuang treats every worker well, provides good food, high wages, and often provides some benefits, so the cost will naturally be high.
Jia Youcai was too lazy to ask the other party to calculate the cost carefully, so he asked instead: "Qinjiazhuang has its own caravan, and it is more profitable to bring it in and sell it yourself, so why should we give it to everyone?"
Ask the key points in one sentence.
Everyone's expressions changed slightly, and someone said dissatisfied: "It's boring to say that, Butler Jia. If you have money, everyone can make it. Besides, we don't raise prices randomly, especially in Shandong Road and Jiangnan Road. We still have some connections, so we can sell quickly."
Come on, let’s make money together, why not do it.”
These words were threatening.
How could Jia Youcai not hear this? He also believed that these people had this strength. They were all local dignitaries and wealthy families, and they were closely related to local officials. If they really wanted to figure it out, there were always ways. He sneered and said: "You guys have the way, the connections, and the strength."
, This is true, but Qinjiazhuang also has its own methods, so I won’t bother you."
Everyone came prepared, how could they be willing to do so? The fat man frowned and said: "Jia Guanjie, we have something to discuss. Speaking of which, we are all in the same boat. Only with our supply can the department store have a complete range of products and attract more buyers.
Home, without us supplying goods, the department store would be mostly empty, and buyers would probably find it boring and stop visiting, right?"
See you in the picture!
Jia Youcai's eyes flashed and he asked: "What does Shopkeeper Zhang mean?"
"We discussed it. If your government provides the goods, we will go to the various states and sell them safely to make money. If your government does not provide the goods, we will have nothing to do. We are restless people and are thinking of opening a joint venture.
For a similar department store, you and I will become competitors when the time comes. Naturally, we will no longer be able to supply goods to your government, which is really helpless. Please don’t blame us when the time comes."
As expected of a businessman, his reasons are high-sounding, but they are full of murderous intent.
Jia Youcai had Qin Huaidao's advice and did not give in. He said in a deep voice: "The price is too low. It is impossible for Qinjiazhuang's goods to be given to you. As for you opening the same department store, that is your right and I have no right to interfere.
However, I would like to remind you that you have a supply agreement with Qinjiazhuang, and you will be punished if you cut off the supply."
"The agreement was drawn up by your government. We have no choice but to agree, but there is no reason in the world to impose fines if we don't supply goods." Someone said dissatisfiedly.
"That's right, how can this be true from ancient times to the present?"
"Your mansion is simply too domineering!"
"I want to expose this matter and go to the county government to submit a complaint."
"That's right, let scholars all over the world come and comment on it. We, the Kongsheng family, are not just people to bully."
"..."
Suddenly, there was a lot of talk and excitement, putting pressure on Jia Youcai.
Jia Youcai looked at the other party calmly, his heart full of coldness. He was busy making tea and drinking, and didn't even bother to pour a cup for everyone. Anyway, he was so angry that there was no need to pretend to be polite.
Everyone saw that Jia Youcai was not as nervous, worried, or scared as expected, but was calm and relaxed, and suddenly felt a little confused. This was different from the imagined script. There was money to be made by supplying goods, but Qinjiazhuang faced pressure from all parties if he did not supply goods.
Where does your confidence come from? Are you not afraid of offending everyone present?
The obese man tried his best and said: "Steward Jia, I came here today because I wanted to work together to expand the business and make more money together. I didn't expect that your government would be so merciless and refuse directly, not giving everyone face at all. I'll give you face."
It’s not worth much, but I’m here on behalf of the boss, and not everyone can trample on the boss’s face.”
"Businesses are not done in a righteous way. You don't want to supply the goods. If I don't stop you, are you going to refuse to supply the goods again?" Jia Youcai asked coldly, his tone firm, without any room for maneuver.
Everyone was silent and the meaning was very clear.
Jia Youcai continued: "In that case, get out of here."
"Aren't you afraid that the department store won't be able to open after we withdraw?" the obese man asked coldly.
"Don't worry about it.
Someone said angrily: "Don't think you can sell the goods if you have a caravan. That was in the past. As long as I don't agree, there are many ways."
Speaking of this, there was no need to be polite anymore. Jia Youcai stared at the other party and sneered: "There are many people who threaten Qinjiazhuang. The grass on everyone's grave is three feet high. If you don't believe me, go check it out."
Do you want to try to see if Qinjiazhuang's knife is still sharp?"
"Impossible. The Holy One is already afraid of your master, so what right do you have to be arrogant?"
"It's just that, with such great achievements, your master will not live long."
"You can still make some money by cooperating with us. Otherwise, Qinjiazhuang's business will collapse."
"Let's take all the goods away and the department store will be empty. What will he do?"
"Yes, let's move the goods."
Everyone, you say something, I say something, no more pretense.
After a lot of threats, they found that Jia Youcai was as calm as a mountain and calm, and everyone became more and more angry. Who is not a respectable person? Who has a big backer behind him, and who doesn't want face?
Soon, everyone started to get up, talking and walking out to move the goods.
Jia Youcai didn't stop him. As soon as everyone moved the goods, he would take care of it. When the time came, everyone could find faults. In extraordinary times, Jia Youcai endured everyone's ridicule and insults, just because he didn't want to cause trouble to Qin Huaidao.
But it doesn't mean that Jia Youcai really has no temper.
