In a very short period of time, Sun Quan and the aristocratic families briefly united, and the source of the turmoil was quickly discovered.
I also took advantage of the situation and learned about the salt industry revolution taking place in the north.
In exchange for this kind of news, in fact, the only thing that aristocratic families like Jiangdong get is panic.
They suspected that someone was deliberately spreading the news about the low price of refined salt in the north to Jiangdong in an attempt to break the balance of Jiangdong's salt industry (actually their monopoly). In any case, if the same salt price collapse spread to Jiangdong - what follows
I'm afraid the situation will not end easily.
Two years... In fact, the people of Jiangdong were basically kept in the dark.
They don't know that basically every household in the north has access to high-quality refined salt - that is snow-white snowflake salt. In Jiangdong, a pound of refined salt worth a thousand taels of silver is not a dream at all.
The people who were already living in dire straits suffered because of the confrontation between the Salt Merchants Chamber of Commerce led by Chen Fuan and the Zhang family of Wu County——
Some people may wonder, if two companies compete with each other, wouldn't the price of salt only go down?
This is obviously good for the people, right?
Generally speaking, there is no problem in thinking this way.
However, the current smoothness generally represents market competition known as healthy competition.
Under the premise that it is not a zero-sum game, the competition between the two giants will indeed make the price of any commodity continue to fall.
The problem is that the relationship between Chen Fuan and Wujun Zhang is not an ordinary relationship between colleagues.
Just three to five years ago, Chen Fu'an was a lackey of Zhang family in Wu County. If Zhang family threw a bone, he would eat the bone. If Zhang family threw a piece of fat meat, he would have a meat meal.
But Chen Fuan is not satisfied with the status quo.
He believes that he has the ability to become bigger and stronger, and in his heart he wants to counterattack and become a distinguished upper-class person. Once a person has desires, it is difficult to control his behavior.
Therefore, after Chen Fuan took the lead in launching an attack, he led a group of retail traders from the chamber of commerce and took away the sales channels that Zhang family in Wu County had been operating for many years.
After so many years of development, the Zhang family of Wu County actually does not send direct descendants of the family to personally control all the properties under the family name.
Under a system similar to trusteeship, or contracting, Chen Fuan's behavior simply took advantage of the Zhang family in Wu County.
With control over countless sales channels, self-proclaimed agent Chen Fuan accumulated a large amount of wealth in a short period of time through a series of means such as price increases and stocking up.
Of course, during this period of time, the people were also complaining - they didn't know what happened between Chen Fuan and Zhang.
Prices have gone up, that's a fact.
Mrs. Zhang has not always been taken advantage of.
Zhang Yun and Zhang Wen soon discovered the fact that Chen Fu'an was rebellious.
Immediately afterwards, the competition between the master and servant began——
Among them, the weak side, in order to prevent the people from eating sea salt at a low price, stored it tank by tank, and raised the price instead of lowering it - Chen Fuan did not have the means to produce large amounts of salt.
That's what it does.
In order to make up for the previous losses, the key is to see that after Chen Fuan forcibly took away a large number of sales channels, even if he raised the price, many people still bought his salt - after thinking about it, he realized the disadvantages of his own sales channels,
Even if Zhang's price cuts were not enough to make up for the shortfall, they also raised prices.
In this period of competition under such a special relationship, only the common people suffer.
——
And the man who changed everything has now returned to Yu Fan's house.
People only know that this man named Zhantang is the hero who brought down Chen Fuan and ended this vicious competition for a long time...
But little did they know that two years ago, he was the one who sent a large amount of free high-quality refined salt to Jiangdong, giving countless people a missing person.
Yes... After arriving in Jiangdong, the only purpose Yi Xiaotian didn't tell everyone was to break the salt price barrier between the north and the south, which was separated by the river.
Wu Jun's Zhang family may be very grateful to Yi Xiaotian in a short period of time and appreciate his efforts to defeat Chen Fuan.
But as time goes by, they will find out how Yi Xiaotian is doing justice for heaven?
He is the hungry wolf that was led into the room.
Yi Xiaotian has mastered a more effective route than Chen Fuan's original one - people like Yu Fan and Zhang Hong are infinitely better than the grassroots route taken by Chen Fuan.
Not to mention, now... Gu Shao, who is standing behind Yi Xiaotian like a lingering ghost, and of course more like an obedient little follower, and the energy of the Gu family behind him, are simply Chen Fuan
Unattainable heights.
Just imagine, when the time comes, Yi Xiaotian relies on the accumulated reputation among the people, relies on Yu Fan, Zhang Hong and the Gu family to work together, and a large number of high-quality and low-priced refined salt from the north suddenly pours into Jiangdong.
Salt market——
This impact is only worse than the one in Xiangyang.
However, Yi Xiaotian had no intention of dealing with the matter immediately.
…
In the Yu Mansion, there were many people in the hall.
The leader is naturally Yi Xiaotian.
In two days, the follow-up influence of the calligraphy exhibition continued to ferment, and it not only swept the entire Kuaiji, but also Wu County also knew that above the calligraphy exhibition, an inkstone merchant named Zhantang defeated Chen Fu'an and donated nearly a hundred top-quality inkstones.
Stone to the guests present.
The key is to know that this exhibition hall is owned by a young and promising businessman from other places. Many young talents from aristocratic families are eager to make a move and seem to want to make friends with him in various ways.
However, the person responsible for this matter is not in a hurry at all.
"Anyway, everyone is here, I don't want to avoid anything anymore..."
"Xiu Ming is not suitable to participate in future plans. I will make other arrangements for him to ensure that at least he will not be in danger in the next time."
After saying this, Yu Fan, Gu Shao, Zhang Hong and others all nodded.
Everyone is on the same front, and most of them have similar demands, seeking power and power. No matter what, they all want to oppose Sun Quan's behavior this time.
But Huang Xiang... Huang Xiang is just an ordinary person. Even if his handwriting is shocking, he is still just an ordinary person.
Yi Xiaotian helped him to use it, and in turn, Huang Xiang was willing to be used, because his request was to handle his family affairs and rebuild his reputation.
Apart from these, he did not have the capital to confront the upper-class dignitaries of Soochow.
Not only that, but also ensuring its safety became Yi Xiaotian's job.
However, the thoughtful Yi Xiaotian had already arranged this kind of thing.
"On the day I leave Shanyin City, please ask Uncle Yu to take the trouble to send someone to take Xiu Ming off..."
Yi Xiaotian shrugged amid the doubtful glances of several people:
"Yixian is a good place. I have many acquaintances there. I guarantee that Xiu Ming can spend this time safely."
