Wu Chenghou ignored everyone's exclamations, picked up the bright yellow cloth and said: "This is a brilliant golden brocade. It is made by our Wu family with a special dye formula. Luo Shenzhen is responsible for the entire weaving process..."
He was introducing it like no one else was watching. The Su family looked at the bright yellow cloth with disbelief on their faces. One of the shopkeepers turned red with anger and wanted to stand up and say something, but was stopped by Su Tan'er.
.
At this time, more people realized something. After all, Su Tan'er had been vigorously competing for imperial merchants this month, and bright yellow cloth of the same color was also displayed several times in internal occasions.
Although it is required to be kept secret, there are too many people who know about it and it is impossible to keep it secret.
At this moment, look at the cloth displayed by the Wu family, and then think about the cloth displayed by the Su family some time ago. It is said that the dye formula took three years and countless money to develop.
It is obviously impossible to say that the two cars collided.
In the quiet hall, people's eyes began to focus on the Su family and the Wu family. Some people gradually thought of something, and then others thought of more...
"That's not quite right..."
"What's wrong……"
"Isn't this dye formula from the Su family? Why does it belong to the Wu family..."
"There's something wrong, there's a big problem..."
"It is said that Su Boyong, the helmsman of the Su family's main house, was assassinated in the street some time ago. The main house was in chaos. Now the formula that was finally developed has been..."
"Isn't this Wu family too vicious, using such evil methods to do business?"
"That means you have little knowledge. Don't look at the fact that the Wu family is now the largest cloth shop in Jiangning. It was not the largest cloth shop in Jiangning before. Do you know that the Liu family used to be the largest cloth shop in Jiangning? It has disappeared now. It is said that the Wu family is secretly causing trouble.
"
"Everyone, be careful what you say, be careful what you say..."
Due to Su Tan'er's campaign some time ago, half of the people knew that the fuel formula belonged to the Su family, and it was obvious that they had been tricked by the Wu family. Although they sympathized with it, they had no choice but to do anything.
For a while, some people were talking; some remained silent and just communicated with complicated eyes, and the atmosphere was a bit solemn.
As if nothing was wrong, Wu Chenghou glanced around, and finally looked at the Su family, and said with a smile: "Everyone, this is the cloth presented to the royal family by my Wu family. I have already mentioned it, so I won't introduce it further.
, in addition to the unique color, the weavers of Luo Shen Needle are also worthy of bragging. Come, come, you are welcome, if you have any questions, please advise..."
A shopkeeper from the Su family couldn't help but stand up and said, "Master Wu, isn't it a bit underhanded to do this?"
Wu Chenghou had a smile on his face, but was not angry at all: "What's wrong? Our Wu family is upright and upright, what happened to it? Could it be that the Su family can't get rid of the cloth they prepared, so they can use their mouths to find their way back to the situation."
The shopkeeper of the Su family wanted to say something more. He Fang, the official of the Weaving Bureau who presided over the conference, coughed lightly: "No further talk, the conference will continue. Next is today's finale, Su's cloth production."
Everyone's eyes turned to the Su family, but Su Tan'er and Li Mu remained motionless. One of the shopkeepers got a little anxious and stood up, clasping his fists at everyone around him, and was about to step forward with the brocade box in hand, but was stopped by Li Mu.
The shopkeeper was a little anxious and looked at Su Tan'er: "My boss, we still have a chance..."
Su Tan'er sat there expressionless, motionless. After a moment, she suddenly sighed: "We...exit."
There was an uproar in the venue. It seemed that the Su family had not expected such a reaction. There was no argument, no falling out with the Wu family, and they actually quit directly.
Also, look at today's conference. The Su family, which was originally unlikely to be the finale, was put in the finale. The Wu family has obviously opened up the joints, and the Weaving Bureau is also cooperating with them. What's the point of arguing anymore, the result can no longer be changed.
Everyone was pointing and talking for a while.
Xue Sheng frowned and sighed to his shopkeeper: "A really biting dog doesn't bark. The Su family has made a lot of noise for the imperial business during this period, and everyone knows it. But the Wu family remained calm and turned around behind their backs.
Hands are clouds, hands are rain... However, this method is too ruthless. From now on, Jiangning's weaving tripartite situation will no longer exist, and the Su family will decline."
He didn't gloat at this time, only sighed and was wary of the Wu family. Who would want a peer and competitor who has no bottom line?
Several shopkeepers of the Su family were still trying to persuade each other, but Su Tan'er shook her head and said in a cold tone: "Stop talking, let's quit!"
After saying that, he stood up suddenly, said no more words, and walked downstairs expressionlessly.
Li Mu also smiled coldly, knocked over the prepared brocade box, and followed.
The other shopkeepers of the Su family looked at the two people leaving and stamped their feet anxiously. The person who made the decision was gone. What could they do? They could only sigh and follow them downstairs.
The brocade box was overturned and fell downstairs. The lid of the box opened with a roar in the air. A flash of bright yellow flashed from the corner of everyone's eyes. Although it was put away by the shopkeeper of the Su family who followed behind, everyone still saw clearly.
The same bright yellow cloth as the Wu family.
What was originally uncertain was confirmed, and the rumors came true. For a while, there was a burst of discussion in the field. But even the Su family couldn't prove anything. The hard work of several years fell into his hands. What others could say was that they could only say nonsense.
The family's methods are even better.
The Su family, which was prosperous for a while, is afraid that it will decline from now on.
Next, although the rhythm was interrupted, Huang Shang had determined that the procedures that should be followed still need to be followed.
Until the end of the conference, the Wu family undoubtedly won the victory and became the imperial merchant. The bright yellow brocade that had the last laugh was also used as a sample, and would then be quickly sent to the palace to officially decide.
At the same time, the Weaving Bureau signed a batch of golden brocade orders with the Wu family on site, which were delivered two months later.
…
In the next few days, many changes occurred in Jiangning's weaving industry.
The Wu family, which was originally the number one cloth shop in Jiangning, won the imperial business this year and was already very strong. It will continue to expand and it will definitely become stronger.
As for the Su family, with such great fanfare, they failed to compete with the imperial merchants, wasting a lot of money and reputation, and showing signs of decline. Even the original market was facing a lot of turbulence. Fortunately, they had some foundation and were able to maintain it for a while.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! However, many people are pushing against the wall, but many people are watching with cold eyes. If the Su family is really in trouble, and the Wu family takes a big hit, they will not
Mind taking a bite.
The shopping mall is like a battlefield, and there is not much friendship left.
The Su family has been in chaos recently, with the second and third bedrooms causing trouble and even starting to draw a line with Dafang.
They said that Su Tan'er was not worthy of her name and insisted on competing for the imperial business, so she was so happy with her achievements. Many people even directly said that Su Tan'er's ability was not suitable for running the Su family, and the Su family needed to choose a real successor.
There are so many more!
Not only did the second and third bedrooms say this, but such remarks also began to appear in the mouths of some elders of the Su family.
The strength accumulated by the second and third families over the years was finally released. When Su Boyong fell ill and Su Tan'er lost, they completely launched an attack.
Even Mrs. Su can no longer suppress these things.
In the eyes of people with astonishment, Su Tan'er not only did not shrink her business in Dafang, but instead used the new weaving technology she developed to expand weaving workshops in various places.
Many people were shocked and began to wonder why the Su family built so many new weaving mills if they didn't win over the imperial merchants. If there were no orders, wouldn't it be a waste of money if they were left there?
Some people say that the Su family is going to completely compete with the Wu family. So many weaving workshops were not built in vain. It is said that the Su family has used new technology and the weaving cost is lower.
Perhaps the Su family will use low prices to attack the Wu family's market, injuring the enemy by a thousand, and damaging themselves by eight hundred, and no one will be in trouble.
Some people also say that it is impossible. The Su family's private price reduction will impact not only the Wu family's market, but all the markets of the cloth shop, and it may cause public outrage.
Everyone was talking about everything.
Su Tan'er ignored these and continued to promote the construction of the new workshop under tremendous pressure and spending huge sums of money.
Seeing this, the second and third bedrooms, while gloating about the misfortune, did not want to accompany the eldest son to mess around, and they all drew clear boundaries with the eldest son, and even started to discuss the separation of the family.
In such a complicated situation, Su Tan'er, who was seen as busy and exhausted by everyone, actually had a very easy life. The Wu family has taken the bait, and the next step is to see how to close the net in order to obtain the maximum benefit.
Dafang's private layout of various industries of the Wu family has also begun, and shopkeeper Liao has also been sent to Tokyo to tighten the pockets of the Wu family.
In this way, time flies and a month passes.
To say that the Wu family is the largest cloth shop in Jiangning, there is still some reliance. For example, Luo Minzhi, as one of the most important elders of the Wu family in Jiangning, who is in his early forties, once single-handedly advanced the Wu family's weaver technology.
Reached its peak.
This time, in addition to the ingenious operation of Wu Qilong and others, they obtained the Su family's dyeing formula from Huangshang. Another trump card was Luo Minzhi's weaver skills.
After taking over the Royal Merchant, as the most important steward of the Wu family, he was in control and care of all the brilliant orders placed by the palace.
On this day, Luo Minzhi went to the workshop as usual and walked around. The young apprentice he had just accepted last year came over to report: "Master, the golden brocade in the small warehouse over at Qinming Building looks... it seems a little faded..."
Luo Minzhi was stunned for a moment: "Over there at Qinming Building? I remember that it was the first batch to come out. I'm afraid the quality control is not very good. Hmm...how many are there?"
The young apprentice said: "There aren't many. The first ones we got out are all piled in the corner."
Luo Minzhi nodded, thought for a while and said: "In the corner... that should be a piece of waste cloth. Well, the first batch was not well controlled. Manager Chen and I felt it was not ideal, so we threw it there, and there was another in the corner.
Humidity is inevitable... Well, I'll go take a look tomorrow morning."
A month has passed since the competition for the Royal Merchant, and there has been no problem with the golden brocade in this month. Naturally, he will not think that some discarded cloth has faded, which means there is something wrong with the cloth.
Now, the Su family has even been forgotten by him. With such a stable situation, there will be problems there.
However, out of habit, he went to the warehouse to take a look the next day. The ones that faded were the first ones that had just been dyed. He took them to experiment with weaving methods and threw them away when he was not satisfied.
Scrap cloths are piled in the corner, and it is inevitable that they will become damp and dirty.
Now, in one month, the first batch of 220 pieces of golden brocade ordered by the palace will be delivered.
Although the quantity is small, this is the signature of the Wu family. Luo Minzhi spends all his energy on weaving technology and patterns. He is still constantly improving and screening some unsightly parts, striving to come up with a finished product that is eye-catching.
.
Another five or six days passed in the blink of an eye, and the little apprentice came again to report: "There are more faded cloths."
Luo Minzhi had a bad premonition and asked, "Which fabrics are fading?"
The young apprentice said: "They are all the first batch. Except for the ones in the corner, the others are gradually starting to fade."
Luo Minzhi's heart sank, but he didn't show it on his face: "Let me go and have a look."
When we arrived at the warehouse, the batch thrown in the corner was more faded and no longer looked like bright yellow.
The ominous premonition in his heart became more and more serious. He came to a row of shelves, which were the first ones that were better kept. He opened the box and looked at it, and his heart became even colder. The cloth in the box was also obviously faded.
He continued to open other boxes, and one-third of the cloths showed signs of fading. He remembered that these cloths were the first batch to be dyed.
Luo Minzhi was extremely surprised and couldn't guess the reason. Could it be a problem with the formula? Impossible. This was developed by the Su family after several years of research. On the day of the Royal Merchants Conference, the Su family brought cloth of this color.
It is impossible for them to use questionable cloth to compete with royal merchants. This is playing tricks on the royal family.
Since it is not a problem with the formula, is there a problem with the formula that the Wu family took away? This is also unlikely. Luo Minzhi also knows a little bit about the inside story. In order to steal the formula this time, the Wu family had more than one mole in the Su family and multiple moles.
Everything that comes out uses a formula, and it is said that the Su family's workshop that makes samples also uses this formula.
So, what's the problem?
Luo Minzhi thought for a while, looked at the cloth in his hand, and comforted himself: "Perhaps, because this is the first batch of cloth dyed with the formula, the process is not very skilled, and there is a small problem somewhere that causes the fading.
.”
Then he told the young apprentice that there was something wrong with the first batch of cloth, so don't show it to outsiders, don't make it public, and check the situation again in a few days.
A few days later, the young apprentice came over in a panic and reported that most of the first batch of cloth had faded, and the second batch of cloth also showed signs of fading.
Luo Minzhi was confused and quickly followed his apprentice to the warehouse to check. He opened a box and found that the cloth had faded. He opened another box and it was also faded.
Luo Minzhi shouted: "Take it apart, take it all apart..."
As the box was opened, most of the first batch of cloths had faded, and the second batch of cloths also showed signs of fading.
Luo Minzhi stood there blankly, with a solemn look on his face, one hand trembling, and he looked straight at the opened cloth, as if he had seen something terrible.
The young apprentice called him, and Luo Minzhi reacted and shouted: "Go and call the boss quickly, call the boss..."
This kind of thing happened once again in the Su family a few months ago. Su Tan'er also cried secretly in front of the faded cloth. As if it was copied, the same scene began to be reproduced here again.
Not far away, in the Wu family weaving workshop, the weavers were still working enthusiastically, and each piece of bright yellow new cloth was dyed...
At this time, there are only twenty days left before the first batch of goods is delivered.
