Chapter 129: Only when you are alive can you have hope
Of course the contract is fake.
As for where the lie was, the shopkeepers and managers of Jun's shop knew very well, but no one said it. As for why they didn't say it, they also knew very well.
Huo Xi didn't need to take action at all, and she didn't bother letting people make fake contracts.
As soon as he spread the word, Jun settled the goods in cash and paid all the money he owed in advance. Merchants came in droves.
As for why the Jun family received a mountain of goods, and the contract really didn't seem to be genuine anymore, it was also the fault of the shopkeepers and managers who were used to stealing benefits.
The store is a big bully. In order to bully the merchants, the contract only stated the price, but not the quantity, delivery date, etc.
One is to avoid the boss from taking advantage of his own mistakes, and the other is to make it easier for Jun to suppress and take advantage of these merchants.
In Huo Xi's words, when the store has a monopoly and the market is dominated by me, I have the final say on how much goods I want and what delivery period I want. I want your goods if I say I want them, and I don't want them if I don't want them. The right of interpretation belongs to me.
.
But now that Huo Xi has muddied the waters inside, Jun's scheme no longer works.
Tourists and merchants from all over the country came to the door to deliver goods and settle payments. As a result, the warehouse was full of goods. Because there were more favorable purchasing channels and prices from other places, Jun's goods could not be sold.
"Madam, Jun Xiangjie borrowed money from the clan." Jun Xiangjie is Mrs. Jun. Ever since Mu Yan was in danger a year ago, Huo Xi didn't even want to address him as an honorific, and the people below also called him by his name.
Huo Xi smiled, but he had to borrow money.
This is how business is done, there is buying and selling, just buying but not selling, money can only go out but not come in. When there is no money in the account, first borrow it from the people around you to use it for turnover. When you have no more money to borrow, you will sell the property.
"Inform Guangfeng Shui to increase the amount of goods purchased, and send the goods sent to the southwest to Yunnan first."
If Jiangnan, Central Plains and other places are unable to deliver goods in time, they will first send goods from the southwest and the two lakes, occupy the market in Yunnan in large quantities, and sell them to various merchants at low prices. Even if the profits are small and no money is made, they have to be sold.
Jun's goods are rotten at home.
Huo Xi gave orders repeatedly. Anyway, she was not short of money and manpower now. She must cut off the Jun family's financial path.
The private soldiers Mu Yan kept in Zhuangzi were a huge expense every month. As soon as she opened her eyes, all kinds of bills were flying towards her and her husband. They had to make the best use of them and arrange them well so that she and her husband could avoid having to worry about it.
No worries.
Jun Xiangjie was furious at home, "They are all a bunch of dead people! Whoever receives the goods is responsible for selling it!"
The money in the shop was exhausted, and even the money stored in the bank was used. In addition to the money left at home for daily expenses, it was all used, and a lot was borrowed from tribesmen and relatives.
The shopkeeper didn't dare to take a breath.
Can you blame them? The old man himself said that as long as the contract is stamped with Jun's seal, he must pay according to the contract. Otherwise, colleagues and merchants will know that there is no silver in Jun's account, and if there is another run, the consequences will be disastrous.
Moreover, they did not pay more money to others, they all paid the money in one hand.
That was all the money I owed to others before. I missed other people's dues and didn't pay them. Now I just paid other people's money in advance.
Those are all other people's money, and they are just temporarily stored in Jun's house.
Who would have thought that the eldest master and several other masters and young masters spend money like water and often go to the shop to get silver for spending. When they have no cash, they need to borrow money from others. Who is to blame?
"Speak!" Jun Xiangjie smashed another set of fine white porcelain utensils.
"I raise you for nothing! Even if the warehouse is full of goods, isn't it all money? What's the most important thing now, sell them! You can't even sell goods if you raise me?"
More than a dozen big shopkeepers looked at each other, not daring to stand up.
Finally, the shopkeeper of the cloth shop said after careful consideration: "Old man, all the cloth shops in the city now buy goods from I don't know where. The quality is the same as ours, but the purchase price is much lower. They sell it cheaper than us, and they rob us a lot."
Business. Do you think we should follow suit and lower prices?"
The warehouse in the backyard of the shop is filled with all kinds of cloth, and it is so crowded that there is no place to move. The shopkeeper can even dream about seeing all kinds of cloth flying in front of his eyes, which makes him breathless.
"If the price is lowered, you know the price is lowered! You spend one tael of silver to buy something, and you sell it for eighty-nine cents? If you don't make a profit, you will lose money!" Jun Xiangjie was so angry that he grabbed the tea cup and threw it at the shopkeeper.
In an instant, a lump of flesh bulged up. The shopkeeper did not dare to cry out in pain, he just stood with his eyebrows lowered and his eyes lowered. The other shopkeepers did not even dare to speak.
What made Jun Xiangjie even more angry was what happened later.
Because there are too many goods, the warehouse is squeezed everywhere, and the clerks do not do a good job in keeping them. Many of the precious cloths have begun to grow moldy. This will mean that no one wants it, not only at a low price, but also at a reduced price.
Jun Ruoxu rubbed his hands and walked back and forth in front of Mrs. Kuang, looking uneasy.
"Mother, it must be the Crown Prince who took action! It must be! It must be the Crown Prince's action. It's over, the Jun family is over, it's over, it's over..." Incoherent words
Mrs. Kuang stopped spinning her beads and slowly opened her eyes. She looked at her son walking messily in front of her and sighed deeply.
Youyou said: "Anyone who commits unjust acts will be punished by his own death. No one can escape."
He devoted all his family's efforts to plot to kill the prince, thinking that he would be easy to control, but now his family is about to fall.
"The Jun family has been operating in Yunnan for 20 to 30 years, and it is not easy to collapse. Moreover, the family has many industries. Even if these goods are folded in your hands, it will only hurt your muscles and bones."
"Are you hurting your bones?" Jun Ruoxu stopped and looked at Kuang with some hope.
Mrs. Kuang nodded and said comfortingly: "If this is the only method, the Jun family will not be defeated."
Ms. Kuang has been in charge of the Central Government for many years. She is quite clear about the internal situation of the Jun family, how much property it has and how much money it has.
It's just that I have been defeated a lot by Jun Ruozhang and other brothers in recent years. After this time, I am afraid that the family's cash will be exhausted and I will have to use my old capital.
"Mom, grandma asked you to use your private money for emergencies. Is this still a small matter?" Grandma not only asked my mother to use her private money for emergencies, but also asked every household to use their private money for emergencies.
"As long as the prince is willing to let go of the Jun family, the Jun family will recover."
"Then what if the prince refuses to let go of the Jun family?"
I won’t let it go...
The Buddhist beads in Kuang's hand started to spin rapidly again, making Jun Ruoxu anxious. After a while, Kuang opened his eyes and said, "My son, it's time for us, mother and son, to make some preparations for ourselves."
"Prepare? What preparations?"
Mrs. Kuang glanced at her only son and said, "Based on the secret letter you sent to the Crown Prince before, in the future...Mother said that if there is an emergency in the future, the Crown Prince will be willing to let you go."
Judging from the previous prince's attitude towards Ruoxu, Mrs. Kuang knew that this prince was a person with a clear sense of grudges and did not like to involve innocent people.
In the future...as long as nothing happens to my son, there is still hope for everything.
