Chapter 125 Meet the Zhixian
Guangdong Customs vigorously rectified the foreign businessmen, seized more than 400 firms, if the possibility of private tea trade with foreign businessmen was cut off, the tea industry association that was repeatedly tossed and hurt completely lost the strength of the thirteen lines, the tea trade will be completely dominated by the thirteen lines, and the pricing power of tea is completely the thirteen lines!
In this case, who would dare to speculate in the tea market? The tea market, which was still very hot yesterday, became deserted in a blink of an eye, and the large and small tea shops and tea shops returned to the scene when the tea collapsed - the door is full of birds.
The speculators who did not fall into it had palpitations and secretly rejoiced, but those who were caught in the tea market were anxious and anxious to sell tea, but no one took over, and they couldn't sell it if they wanted to, and the price of tea fell sharply, falling from 27 to 24 dollars below 25.
In a private room on the third floor near the river, He Shutai drank tea leisurely and enjoyed the river view outside the window, and seemed not to worry about the price of the tea market at all, but several people at the same table were worried.
Chen Jiawang, who had a beautiful mustache, walked in quickly, several people glanced at him, but they didn't say anything, Chen Jiawang poured himself a cup of tea, and said a little strangely: "You don't care about the price of tea?" ”
One person smiled: "Just look at the look on your face, do you still need to ask?" ”
"This is the largest teahouse in Xiguan, and you can also know what is going on in the tea market." He Shutai said and pushed a few plates over earlier, and said, "Eat something first." ”
Chen Jiawang picked up a dry steamed roasted wheat and ate it in three or two bites, and then took a sip of tea before saying: "We have more than two million tea leaves on hand, not to mention the decline in tea prices, now there is no way to get rid of it, the fifth brother has to take an idea." ”
"What else can you think?" He Shutai said in a light tone: "Wait! It's useless to be anxious now, we have encountered hard stubble this time. ”
"Hard stubble?" Chen Jiawang said curiously: "Who is the fifth brother talking about?" ”
"You don't need to ask, thirteen lines."
"Not thirteen lines." He Shutai shook his head and said: "It's Yuanqi, to be exact, it's Yuanqi's Yi Da shopkeeper - Yi Zhizhi." ”
"That stinky kid?"
"Beware of the evil that comes out of the mouth." He Shutai glared at him and said, "I heard my cousin mention that the tea collapse in Guangzhou seems to be the handiwork of Yi Zhi, and he must be dissatisfied with our Shunde silk merchants coming to the tea market to make money." ”
"It's too mysterious, isn't it? How did the shopkeeper know that our Shunde silk merchants had entered the tea market? ”
"Silver ticket." He Shutai said: "Let's exchange bills of exchange for silver tickets, millions of silver tickets can be exchanged to hide from Yuanqi's big shopkeeper?" ”
Hearing this, several people couldn't help but look at each other, silent, if there were many money villages in Guangzhou before, millions of silver flowed into Guangzhou without knowing it, and now Yuan Qi dominates the Guangzhou money bank, and such a large amount of silver inflow is naturally nowhere to hide.
After a while, Chen Jiawang said, "Then when are we going to wait?" ”
"Naturally, I am waiting for the price of tea to rise." He Shutai said: "Yuanqi dominates the Guangzhou money bank, it is impossible to make the money village lose too much, the price of this tea will rise sooner or later, don't worry." ”
"How can you not be in a hurry?" Chen Jiawang said: "Don't do the raw silk business this year? ”
He Shutai smiled disappreciatively and said, "Isn't the left and right all about making money, is there a difference?" ”
Guangzhou City, Nanhai County.
Liu Kaiyu, the magistrate of Nanhai County, had just returned from the Six Banyan Temple, and as soon as he got off the sedan chair, the door trotted up to meet him and reported: "Master, the big shopkeeper of Yuan Qiyi came to visit." ”
Easy contentment is coming? Liu Kaiyu couldn't help but be surprised and delighted, this Yuanqi shopkeeper is now very popular in Guangzhou, I heard that he is still a guest of the governor, but I don't know if it is a good thing or a bad thing for him to come to the door, when he said: "Hurry up and invite the shopkeeper Yi Da to go to the flower hall, the official will be there later." ”
Considering that Yi Zhizhi is white, Liu Kaiyu deliberately changed into civilian clothes before rushing to the flower hall, as soon as he entered the door, he saw Yi Zhizhi coming up to greet him, he didn't dare to put the shelf of the county lord, and hurriedly stepped forward to stand up, and said with a smile: "Contentment doesn't need to be polite." ”
Yi Zhizhi is not hypocritical, a slight bow is considered a courtesy, listening to his Jiangxi official dialect, he smiled and said: "The adult is from Jiangxi, and Jiangxi is a talented ......." ”
"Guangzhou is an outstanding person, and contentment is a rare young talent." Liu Kaiyu said very politely and stretched out his hand to give in: "Contentment does not need to be formal, sit." ”
"Your Excellency, please."
The two of them sat down, and Yi Zhizhi arched his hand and said, "I should have come to visit my lord a long time ago..." ”
"Why be so polite for contentment." Liu Kaiyu said with a smile: "Since the day of its opening, Yuanqi Bank has never stopped for a day, and it has dominated Guangzhou money banks in just two months, which is really breathtaking. ”
Yi Zhisuff estimated that this should be an official oil, not to mention whether he has other skills, at least his ability to talk about it should not be bad, he didn't want to accompany him to gossip, so he immediately said straight to the point: "Yuan Qi and the Thirteen Elements want to do some good deeds, and I hope that the adults can help one or two." ”
"Do good." Liu Kaiyu said without thinking: "This is a good thing, although contentment is said, but everything that the official can do, he will not shirk." ”
"Thank you, sir." Yi Zhizhi said: "There are many homeless people inside and outside the city of Guangzhou, and I have discussed with the Pinghu Gong to prepare to buy some wasteland on Henan Island to properly resettle some homeless people, and I hope that the adults will help." ”
"Ashamed, ashamed." Liu Kaiyu said with a smile: "The resettlement of displaced people is originally a matter within the county government, but Guangzhou is prosperous, and displaced people from all over the world gather, so it is really impossible to properly resettle them. ”
"Your Excellency is not welcome." Yi Zhizhi said with a smile: "This resettlement of displaced people is not a disaster relief, first, there is not much wasteland on Henan Island, and secondly, there are quite a lot of wealthy gentry on Henan Island, who are selected for the resettlement of displaced people, and one is to give priority to those who have children, preferably six or seven or more, and then those who are strong and have families, and temporarily resettle 200 households." ”
"Okay, this official told the officials in detail to choose carefully." Liu Kaiyu promised, not to mention that this matter is good for him, even if it is not good, he will also promise, there are not many opportunities to befriend Yuan Qi, he knows very well that there will be many places in Nanhai County that need Yuan Qi to pay for silver in the future.
"In this way, there will be Lord Lao to bother." Yi Zhizhi said and took out a silver ticket from his sleeve and put it on the coffee table, and said, "Yuan Qi is in the South China Sea, please take care of it more in the future." ”
"Contentment, this is not an outsider." Liu Kaiyu hurriedly pushed the silver ticket back.
Yi Zhizu stretched out his hand to block it, and said with a smile: "It is not easy for adults to attach to the provincial capital, this is the common practice of Yuanqi to adults, it is clean, and adults do not accept it." As he spoke, he got up and waved his hand, saying, "Your Excellency is busy with official business, so it is inconvenient to disturb it for a long time." ”
