Chapter 66: What a black-hearted Tang fat man
On the Yedu Wharf, Tang Fatzi is enjoying the treatment of the stars holding the moon.
When the leaders of the Silk Society received the news, they rushed over as soon as possible, wanting to invite the God of Wealth to their homes.
But no matter what they said well, Tang Youde still sat on the high-legged horse and remained motionless.
It wasn't until all the social capitals arrived that Tang Youde smiled and said: "You are so enthusiastic, Tang is flattered, but I am alone, and I really lack skills." ”
"Yes, yes, yes." The leaders laughed together, and there was no longer the toughness of the year. "Then according to Boss Tang's meaning, let's talk about it here."
Tang Youde is outnumbered and talks and laughs. I feel that I have the posture of Zhuge Kongming's tongue and fighting the group of Confucians, but it's a pity that these opponents really can't fight......
It's already March, and if you don't sell the inventory in your hands, and wait for the spring silkworms to form cocoons in two months, you will have to completely smash your hands.
Even the head of the Silk Society in the county will not interfere with how much money they ship now, as long as they can sell it, they are heroes.
There is a way that the situation is stronger than people, how can those leaders still have the capital to argue with him? Before Tang Youde made a move, he competed to reduce the price.
"Boss Tang, the silk in our Liujia Village is the best, and in previous years, it was sold for as little as one or two halves of silver. I'll only charge you a ...... or two now."
"We're nine dollars a pound!"
"We ...... eight dollars"
"Seven Dollars and Eight ......"
"Seven Money, Seven ......"
"Seven Money, Six ......"
Tang Youde kept squinting and listening to the sellers killing each other, until the price reduction was getting smaller and smaller, he opened his eyes slightly and whispered: "I only get four dollars at most." ”
Although the words are said lightly, the lowest offer can be cut in half with one knife!
"This, this, this ......" Hearing this insulting offer, the heads of the club couldn't help but change their faces, and said angrily to Tang Youde: "The surname is Tang, the bigger the business you are, the darker your heart!" I can't even get this price back! ”
"That's it, we don't even pay this price!" The leaders of the club shouted angrily: "It's not for sale, please go back." ”
"Less of this!" Tang Youde took a sip and sneered: "Don't think I don't know, after deducting the interest on the loan, the cost of taking silk from the silk farmer will never exceed two yuan!" ”
"My surname is Tang's business, and I have always believed that everyone will get rich, and you will definitely not be able to lose this price."
The leaders of the "......" didn't expect that Tang Youde, who had never been in contact with the raw silk business, would be so good at it, and they couldn't help but be suffocated.
"Boss Tang," said with a breathless voice, "That's not how the accounts of the Silk Society and the Silk Farmers are calculated. When the year is bad, we have to be interest-free, and even the principal will be subsidized......"
"Yes, Boss Tang, don't just watch thieves eat meat, don't see thieves being beaten."
"Now is the time for you to be beaten." Tang Youde sneered, raised his tone and said:
"Everyone knows what the situation is now. In China, most of the weavers in Nanjing are unemployed, and less than half of the looms started in previous years. Overseas, how long has it been since the ships of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and maritime merchants have been at sea? The day before yesterday, there was a ship that ventured to Japan, but before it left Zhoushan, it was seized by the imperial court sailors, and tens of thousands of catties of raw silk were all confiscated. In this year, the mulberry farmers in Nanjing have begun to pull mulberry and plant rice, and you still regard the things in the warehouse that no one wants as treasures......"
Although the leaders of the "hiss......" club knew that the year was not good, they still felt extremely frustrated when they heard Tang Youde say such a conclusive statement, and bowed their waists again one by one.
Some people also asked in a whispered unconvinced: "Since you say that raw silk is worthless, why do you still go to the countryside to collect silk?" ”
Tang Youde supported his knees with his hands and slowly stood up. His fat body looked quite oppressive in front of the hunched leaders.
"There is a way for men to forsake me and take it. Now the price of looms is less than 30% of what it used to be, and the wages of skilled weavers have been cut by half. I'm going to take the opportunity to throw tens of thousands of taels of silver into it, as long as I grit my teeth and persist for a few years, when other owners have changed careers, my business will naturally improve. ”
As he spoke, he patted the shoulder of a head of the club and said with a solemn face: "When I entered the industry at this time, I also pinned my head to the waistband of my trousers." In order to survive this cold winter, I can only give this price. Let's get through the times together, let's get through the times together......"
Seeing that everyone still didn't speak, Tang Youde bent down and folded his horse, turned around and said, "I didn't plan to collect the silk anywhere when I came out this time, and I was going to go around Hexian and Wuhu." When I come back in a circle, how about you give me a letter? ”
"This ......" The heads of the society panicked when they heard this, how shrewd people they were, how could they not hear the threat in Tang Youde's words?
If you don't agree, Lao Tzu will go elsewhere to collect silk!
"Boss Tang, don't go, let's talk about it again......"
"Yes, Boss Tang, seeing that it's almost noon, why don't you have to eat......"
"Add a little more, four dollars a pound is really not enough."
The leaders knew that he wanted to get away with it, but they still had to say all the good things and try their best to keep him.
"One more buck at most." Tang Youde sneered at this time: "There is no more." ”
When the head of the society heard this, he was entangled, although the five coins of silver were pitiful, but there were also no profits......
It's just that compared to previous years, it's a tear sale!
Tang Youde watched the fire, and when he saw that they were about to loosen his mouth, he immediately hit the railway while it was hot: "This is the first time for me, I only collect 5,000 catties of silk to test the water, and if everything goes well, I can collect more next time." Otherwise, it's a one-shot deal. ”
~~
The heads of the society have been scattered by him, and I heard that he only collects 5,000 catties of silk, and there may be no next time, so there is no way to advance and retreat together.
The inventory of each silk society is more or less, more than two or three thousand catties, and less than a thousand catties, these five or six heads add up, and the inventory is more than 10,000 catties of silk.
Tang Youde only received 5,000 catties, whoever promised first could make a move, and if he promised late, he could only smash it in his hand......
"Alas, well......"
Finally, someone couldn't stand it, and stretched out his hand to Tang Youde and said, "I'll sell this number." ”
The two covered their hands with their sleeves and gestured for a while, Tang Youde nodded and smiled: "Deal." ”
Before the man could show a relieved expression, the rest of the club leaders also scrambled to shout.
"I'll sell it too!"
"I sell, I sell!"
Seeing that four or five hands were stretched out to him at the same time, Tang Youde was about to take the opportunity to take another Qiao, but suddenly opened his mouth in surprise.
I saw Zhao Hao running from a distance, his face covered with sweat, panting and supporting his knees, unable to speak there.
Yu Peng hurriedly ran over, held Zhao Hao with both hands, and said eagerly: "Childe, what's wrong?" Where's Big Brother Gao?! ”
"Quick, quick......" Zhao Hao said intermittently: "Call someone, copy the guy, follow me......"
"Okay!" Yu Peng didn't ask anymore, and immediately whistled at the cargo ship!
Beicheng is the station of the rearguard of the government army, and more than a dozen military camps are mixed together, and for the men of Caijia Lane, fights and brawls are simply commonplace.
At the sound of the whistle, I saw that the door of the cargo ship was violently kicked open, and a shirtless man rushed out, carrying a five-foot-long iron rod. The man ran two steps, and one step flew directly over Tang Youde's head, landed steadily on the shore, and ran towards Zhao Hao and Yu Peng.
"This ......"
Before Tang Youde and the others came to their senses, another shirtless fierce man with an iron rod in his hand rushed out of the hatch and jumped ashore from above their heads.
