When the two-month deadline came, Meiweiling did not repay the payment on time.
According to the agreement, North and South Commodity Co., Ltd. has the right to deal with the property pledged by him.
Unexpectedly, when the North and South Commodity Stores planned to sell off these properties to repay the credit, they discovered that the property deeds were all fake.
Even the people are fake!
It’s not false, there really is Mei Weiling.
But when I went to Menghua and asked about it, I found out that there was indeed a Meiweiling over there, and everything was right, but the other person insisted that he had never been to the North and South Cargo Store to borrow goods on credit. And this person was not the shopkeeper Yu.
That person who passed!
In addition to Mei Weiling, there were several other people who obtained a large amount of goods through deception in the same way.
The news that the North and South Commodity Stores were cheated out of millions of dollars in payment by Li Daitao and suffered heavy losses, and that they might have to close their shops, immediately spread to every corner of the city and spread.
"Hahaha... so happy!"
When Jun Xiangjie heard the news, he threw his head back and laughed at home, slapping his thighs while laughing, without any manners at all.
Junhua didn't know the situation. She just heard that the North and South Stores were about to close their shop, and she laughed heartily.
"This is great, let her be arrogant! My Jun family has been running the business for several generations, and I have worked hard for more than ten years in Yunnan to achieve what I am today. A yellow-haired girl dares to open such a big shop as soon as she comes, and she is suppressed by her peers.
There is no business. It’s better now, or it’s fate. It’s what you deserve!”
Jun Xiangjie felt even more relaxed after hearing this.
Relying on his status, the man surnamed Zhang suppressed most of Jun's business in various states and counties, and even the business in Kunming city was almost unable to cope with it. Now he shot himself in the foot, right?
This must have seriously damaged her vitality. Look at how arrogant she is. She is young and ignorant, so why does business seem so easy to do? It’s so easy to do, but she can do it when others can’t?
But it's a pity. I heard that all kinds of goods purchased at the North and South Stores are paid in cash. Otherwise, if such a big thing happened, all the merchants would definitely ask her to settle the payment in advance. If the goods cannot be sold, the merchants will come to ask for money.
, you can’t squeeze her to death.
She was afraid that all the jewelry on her head and face would have to be exchanged for silver to pay off the debt. This would make her crazy.
However, the North and South Store was indeed a shop that brought in money. When Zhang could no longer support his business, he thought of opening another shop next to her shop.
She can't be mad at her. Hahaha...
The old couple both ate an extra bowl of rice.
All the merchants in the city were also talking about it, shaking their heads and sighing. Even they were impressed when they saw the North-South Store. They felt that if they continued to operate in this way, they could concentrate all the business in the city to her house. Others had no business, so she was the only one.
The family can make a lot of money.
Although all the merchants were dissatisfied, they had to admire Mrs. Shizi’s brains. This method of doing business is really powerful. If she doesn’t make money, who will?
But when such a big thing happened suddenly, everyone was dumbfounded.
"It's still a step too far." Some merchants expressed regret.
"That's not the case. In a hurry to suppress the peers, they also made large purchases and transactions, and did not let individual customers go. They also allowed small traders to borrow goods on credit. I saw her shop selling goods one by one from the opening to the closing of the shop.
With the delivery volume, I am envious of this, and I can’t even imagine how long it will last for a few months.”
This is ruined. Alas.
A businessman whispered: "I am still too ambitious. I want to hold all the business in my hands. Isn't something wrong?"
Not only did it attract people from all over the city to pick and buy goods at the North and South Stores, but it also did business for merchants big and small. That's all, they also paid for the goods on credit.
This caused the people in the city who had little capital to start doing business on credit, squeezing all the grocery stores in the city out of business.
"So, if you keep a tightrope when doing things, you can meet each other easily in the future. If you do things to the best of your ability, you will definitely be resented by others."
"By the way, do you think those Li Daitao's stiffs were done by those whose business was squeezed to the point of closure?" The business couldn't be done, so they joined forces to run against the North and South Cargo Stores? To avenge themselves?
"It's very possible." A group of merchants agreed. There must be some people who couldn't stand it and implemented retaliatory measures.
Not only the merchants in the city were talking about it, but the women in the back house were also talking about it.
"A woman and a child are learning how to do business. How can they lack food and clothing when marrying the prince? And they have to show themselves in public and learn how men do business? They are already the prince's wife, and they are not satisfied yet!"
"No. What woman doesn't take care of her husband and raise her children at home? She is the only one who can. It's really cruel to leave such a young son in the capital. I can't do it. Even if you keep an eye on a man for twelve hours, you still have to take a concubine.
Concubine, it is better to raise your son well. He will be your biggest supporter in the future."
Can men be trusted? Even pigs don’t believe it.
The women agreed very much: "That's right, it is proper to raise your son well. In the future, if a man is unreliable, and his son will be raised as if he is not close to him, life will be even more uncomfortable than death."
"The prince is also good-tempered. You see, we have been married for several years, and there is only one woman here, Mrs. Zhang. Why can't I meet a man as clean and self-sufficient as the prince?"
"The father of Zhang's natal family is the Duke of the country, so the prince has to be careful. If he wants to take a concubine, he must have the approval of his in-law family. But Zhang lost so much money this time, I'm afraid the prince will also be angry with her. I'm afraid it will happen again.
It won’t be long before my concubine comes in.”
Huo Xi leaned on the soft couch in Mu Yan's study and tilted her head to look at him: "I heard that you will be bringing in your concubine soon?"
Mu Yan frowned and glanced at her, hung the pen in his hand on the pen holder, stood up and walked towards her.
"The child is making trouble for you again?"
Huo Xi didn't answer, just stared at him. Mu Yan had no choice but to lift her robe and sit down on the couch, pinching the soft flesh of her jaw and said, "Don't listen to the gossip outside."
"Is it just gossip?"
Mu Yan clicked his tongue in disapproval. Huo Xi pursed her lips.
Mu Yan touched her swollen belly and sighed, "She's feeling sentimental for some reason. This girl must have troubled you."
After just two strokes, the child in the belly seemed to sense his father's touch and began to react. When Mu Yan touched one place, his belly bulged up, and when he moved to another place, the other part also bulged.
Pick up a small bag.
With a smile on his face, Mu Yan looked down at Huo Xi's belly, caressed it gently, and murmured: "This child." His eyes were gentle.
After a while, I thought about what the doctor in the mansion had told me a few days ago that pregnant women are prone to mood swings. I looked up at Huo Xi and comforted her: "My husband has told her a long time ago that you are the only one in this life. Don't listen to the gossip outside."
Huo Xi felt as if she had drunk honey, "They said outside that I shouldn't abandon the fisherman and chase my husband thousands of miles away."
I feel a little sad when I think of my son Huo Xi.
Mu Yan sighed.
He knew that many women nowadays feel that their status is stable once they give birth to a son, and their husband becomes their son. Unfortunately, the son is very different from the women nowadays.
"As a husband, I like you to be like this. Yu'er has you and me, and he will have his own life in the future, but I only have you."
It’s coming to an end. I’m preparing a new book. I’d like to ask, do you like modern or ancient Chinese? What kind of themes do you like? If you have any comments or suggestions, please share them. Basho’s thinking is still confused~
