In the blink of an eye, another seven or eight days have passed. The handover of industries and markets between the Wu family and the Su family is still in progress, but the Wu family finally breathed a sigh of relief.
With the joint operation of the relationship between the Wu and Su families, the Wu family was willing to spend a lot of money, and finally there was some room for improvement in the fading of the cloth.
However, the price paid by the Wu family was also huge, not to mention how much money was spent on managing officials at all levels. It is said that the Wu family wanted to resolve the matter as soon as possible so as not to drag it into a war, or one day the news about the fading of the cloth was spread, and they directly
He made a ruthless move and subscribed for a large amount of old cloth at a low price, which was equivalent to operating at a loss.
In this way, the imperial court quickly gave an attitude. Although the matter would not be resolved so quickly, it would not be expanded. Next, it would just continue to spend money.
In this way, in a short period of time, the second clan meeting of the Su family this year was held.
In the early morning, the morning light was bright and the mist filled the milky white halo. Li Mu did a set of punches, had breakfast, and walked slowly to the academy.
As for the Su family's clan meeting, he is a son-in-law and has little to do with him. Let Tan'er take the spotlight!
On the same day, when Su Yunfang of the third room of the Su Mansion opened the door, he took a deep breath and his expression was a little excited. Su Zhongkan of the second room on the other side had been sitting in the yard since early morning.
Now, watching the mist drifting away and the morning light rising, the years of waiting were about to come true, which made him so excited that he couldn't sleep.
From today on, the Su family no longer belongs to the first family, nor to his niece, but to the second and third families. This is a war destined to win.
All this is thanks to his niece, who is always known for her intelligence. She has been confused for some reason in recent months and has been making stupid moves, which gave them a chance. Even the old man has nothing to say this time.
At this time, countless people in the entire Jiangning city were paying attention to this clan meeting.
In addition to the inside and outside of the Su family, the Xue family, the Lu family, the Liu family... and the Wu family. Different from the gloating eyes of other families, the Wu family's eyes are a bit complicated. They know that Su Tan'er will definitely win this time. As for the
With two bedrooms and three bedrooms, the current arrogance is very much like the Wu family back then. From now on, there will be extreme joy and sorrow. How happy you are now, how desperate you will be in the future, and you will lose your underpants soon.
So, looking at the other families in Jiangning City gloating over Su Tan'er's misfortune, the Wu family always felt like everyone was drunk and I was alone.
On this day, many people who run cloth shops in Jiangning City, some even went to a restaurant to book a table, eating and drinking while waiting for news from the Su family. After all, it is one of the three major cloth shops in Jiangning. Changes in the Su family will directly affect
The pattern of Jiangning’s weaving industry.
…
Time passed, and one morning passed. The courtyard of the Su family was filled with people. It was as lively as the New Year. The Su clan was almost all here, and the camps became clear.
Throughout the morning, Mrs. Su, Su Yu, was also very busy. The clan elders kept visiting and lobbying in various ways. They were obviously preparing for the afternoon meeting.
In the living room, Su Yu was sitting at the top, leaning on a cane, closing his eyes and concentrating, while the people below were talking to each other.
"Third brother, I think it's too much pressure for Tan'er to take charge of so many things in the family. If a man fails, then a girl..."
"Third brother, we really can't let this matter go on any longer. It won't be good to fight over several houses."
"Third brother, you have to tell me how to handle this matter!"
After all, they are all clan elders. In the final analysis, these people will make the decision for the clan meeting in the afternoon. If a consensus can be reached in advance, it will avoid too many disagreements in the afternoon.
Su Yu tapped his cane and glanced at a few people: "What are you talking about?"
Lao Qi said: "What are you going to do about girl Tan'er? If you tell us, we will always have a good idea."
Su Yu said: "I said it, do you listen?"
Several people fell silent immediately.
Su Yu tapped his cane and said, "So, let's see the outcome in the afternoon. Then you will naturally know what to do."
Lao Qi said: "Third brother, you let us choose."
Su Yu said: "Yes! Choose for yourself. If you think the Su family has a future, you can choose whoever you want. I won't interfere.
Everyone immediately looked at each other, each with their own thoughts, and it was hard to say anything else for the moment.
Until noon, the luncheon started, and Su Boyong, Su Zhongkan, Su Yunfang, Su Wenxing, Su Wengui, Su Wenji... came one after another.
At the door of the Su Mansion, Su Tan'er held the arm of Li Mu, who had returned from the academy, and casually greeted the clan members in each room of the Su family like a normal person.
As the banquet began, the atmosphere began to surge. The excitement was still quite lively, but the relaxed atmosphere was gone. The big room, second room, and third room each had their own invisible areas, and they looked at each other and made guesses.
Su Yu sat on top of the chief and watched quietly. His eyes swept across the second and third rooms of the main room. It was obvious that the main room was more decadent and quiet. Except for a few high-spirited shopkeepers and managers, these knew the truth. Others
The popularity is much lower than that of two-bedroom and three-bedroom apartments.
Li Mu and Su Tan'er had calm faces, chatting and laughing while eating, and seemed not to be affected by the surrounding environment at all.
The luncheon was not long. After the banquet, the crowd began to gather in the meeting hall next to the ancestral hall. Not many people were able to participate in this clan meeting. The remaining ones who could not attend were mostly family members, juniors, or the shopkeepers of Su Mansion.
, in charge.
Even if everyone cannot attend, they will gather in twos and threes in nearby gardens and gardens, waiting for the final results.
After all, choosing the next generation of people in power is closely related to everyone present.
In the meeting hall of the ancestral hall, a group of elders were sitting at the top, and people from the third room were sitting in rows below. Su Boyong's face was calm, his eyes were looking at his nose, and his nose was looking at his heart. No expression could be seen. It was obvious that he had recovered from his illness long ago.
However, in the name of recuperation, Su Tan'er has been left in charge of everything in the big house.
Su Zhongkan sat upright, with some expectation and excitement on his face, but he suppressed them all. Su Yunfang seemed to be wandering in the sky, thinking of some good things, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he almost laughed.
The first person to speak was Su'an, the seventh brother: "Third brother is the clan leader and knows best about matters in the clan. Third brother, you can talk first."
Su Yu looked at the people in the meeting hall, waved his hands and said, "Old Qi, tell me!"
Su An nodded.
"Recently, my Su family has encountered some things. Whether they are major or not, I can't say, but they have had some impact."
"First of all, our Su family's market share in the Jiangning area has declined. It's not much, less than half a floor. But the main problem is not here. Some suppliers know that our Su family has encountered trouble, and they have begun to add insult to injury. Many
The supplier wants to negotiate with our Su family and wants to increase the price of raw silk... If we agree, our profits will be significantly reduced... If other suppliers see this and imitate it, the consequences will be disastrous."
Su An said in a loud voice. Anyone here who understands business will be aware of the crisis involved. The Su family has encountered a series of things recently, which has caused a sharp drop in reputation and has been looked down upon by many people. They may even add insult to injury and take a bite out of them.
.
After Su An finished speaking, there was a lot of discussion at the scene.
Many clan elders also had worried looks on their faces.
"What are they doing... They are collectively adding insult to injury. They think something is going to happen to our Su family, or they think our Su family is hopeless."
"Since things are already like this, we still need to find problems and solve them as soon as possible."
"That's right! Let's talk about the root of the problem..."
Su Wenxing suddenly said loudly: "If we talk about the root of the problem, in the final analysis, our Su family's high-profile competition for the imperial merchants failed. With such a big momentum and such a big investment, in the end we got nothing..."
"Speaking of which, it is inevitable that outsiders will begin to doubt and even add insult to injury, alas!"
As Su Wenxing spoke, he pretended to sigh again, looking like he was feeling sad.
His words finally ignited the topic, and everyone began to discuss it in whispers.
"I just said, it's not good to run a stable business. You have to compete with some royal merchants. Now it's better."
"I heard that for the imperial merchants, Dafang had plans in various places. He replaced new looms and built new workshops. It cost a lot. I don't know how much he spent..."
"Who knows, Dafang has never disclosed it to the outside world. It's a pity that shopkeeper Liao is not in Jiangning, otherwise we can still inquire about it."
"I also heard that in the past two or three years, Dafang has spent a lot of money in order to operate Huangshang, and now everything has been wasted..."
Everyone was whispering and discussing enthusiastically, and the scheduled dramas unfolded one by one. Only the main room was calm. Su Tan'er and others occasionally spoke, and there was no sign of any mood swings.
By the end of the discussion, the problem was very clear. The Su family had recently encountered a big problem, which had a great impact. Looking into the root cause, the next generation successor of the Su family, the only daughter of the eldest family, had problems with major decisions. She was arbitrary and arbitrary in the imperial business.
The investment was huge, and the momentum was too high at first, but then suddenly fell, causing turmoil, which dealt a huge blow to the Su family's prestige, which in turn affected the Su family's business.
At this time, Su Zhongkan also stood up: "Elders, I have a few words to say."
"Although Tan'er's niece is suspected of being arbitrary in this competition for royal merchants, the main reason is that the Wu Wu family is too despicable. After all, Tan'er's niece has too little experience in shopping malls. However, mistakes are mistakes. As things have developed, there must be a solution.
Explain."
Su Yunfang from the third room also answered: "Yes, I have seen Tan'er's niece's efforts. But...if you do something wrong, you do something wrong. In order to compete for the imperial merchants, how much money did our Su family spend? To cause such a big fuss
The momentum was high, but it failed. How many people saw my joke, what a blow to our Su family, and even the entire Su family's business was greatly affected."
"It is said that the Su family will be handed over to Tan'er's niece in the future, but whether such a person in charge can reassure us and whether he has the ability to manage such a large family business is questionable."
"I think that the future helm of the Su family needs to be renegotiated and re-selected from the younger generation. Of course, this depends on the wishes of the clan elders. I also think about the development of the entire Su family."
