The price of tea is inflated, not to mention the tea merchants, even the guys in the tea house know that the price of tea has been inflated for two or three years, and everyone is lucky, and the sudden increase in the import tax on tea in the UK is just a fuse, this news not only punctured the bubble of high tea prices, but also pierced the hearts of the people.

Although a group of tea merchants swore in the tea association that they would unite to resist the fall in tea prices, as soon as the news of the collapse of the London tea market came out, the tea merchants who were already like frightened birds immediately rushed to sell, and the price of tea immediately fell like an avalanche.

With the spread of various rumors, the tea market was shocked one day, the price of tea fell again and again, and continued to decline after being cut in half, which taught all tea merchants a profound lesson, it is feasible to unite to raise prices, and it is simply a joke to unite to resist the fall!

The price of tea plummeted, and the tea merchants who speculated on tea and the tea shops who hoarded tea were the first to bear the brunt, and in just a few days, they changed from a lot of money to a lot of debts, and it was not only the tea merchants who were anxious, but also the money bank!

Tea trade is the most important pillar of Guangzhou's foreign trade, the annual trade volume is tens of millions, the price of tea has risen year by year in recent years, the business name of speculative tea is not known, there are not a few people who borrow from the bank, and now the price of tea is collapsing, how can the money village not be in a hurry? The shopkeeper of the big and small money banks did their best, for one purpose, to chase the loan!

No one cares about Yuanqi Bank anymore, no one cares about Yuanqi silver tickets, what does not recognize Yuanqi silver tickets, that's all jokes, as long as you take out the Yuanqi silver tickets to repay the debt, all the money banks are busy collecting, now in this situation, no silver ticket can be more reputable than the Yuanqi silver ticket.

The big and small money banks are trying their best to chase the loan, which undoubtedly further exacerbates the decline in tea prices, and what is even more desperate is that the price of tea has been cut in half, but no one cares!

Guangzhou and Xiguan seem to have suddenly entered a cold winter, extremely depressed, and the bustling and noisy streets have suddenly become deserted.

There is still only Yuanqi Bank, whether it is the head office or the branch, it is crowded with businessmen who come to borrow, there are many people who originally came to borrow, and now a large number of tea merchants have been added, and it is even more overcrowded!

A group of shopkeepers are busy drinking tea without time, but Kong Jian'an is very leisurely, he is not responsible for the specific business, he walked around the front desk, he was about to go to the backyard, Xie Xiuyuan chased up, the two walked into the backyard, Xie Xiuyuan said: "Tea collapsed, now this situation, I am afraid that the price of tea will continue to fall, lending to tea merchants, the risk is not small." ”

Kong Jian'an smiled disappreciatively and said, "Don't you know, Yuanqi lending is subject to mortgage and guarantee?" ”

"What I'm worried about is the guarantee." Xie Xiuyuan said: "Although tea collapsed, but foreign trade, after all, it is inseparable from tea, many tea merchants and the merchants and children of the thirteen lines are very familiar, for the future business, the merchants and their children will guarantee them." ”

"Don't worry." Kong Jian'an said: "The big shopkeeper has formulated a new rule, all guarantors can only guarantee two places, and one limit is 50,000, and nothing can happen." ”

"Well, there's no need to worry." Xie Xiuyuan nodded, but the topic changed, "The strangeness of this tea collapse, you say, will it be the handiwork of the big shopkeeper?" ”

Kong Jian'an was stunned for a moment, and said in a low voice: "What does this matter have to do with the big shopkeeper?" ”

"I've never figured it out." Xie Xiuyuan said softly: "Why did the Thirteen Banks suddenly inject five million into Yuanqi, and it was in the form of a large amount of deposits, now that the tea is collapsing, the tea shop and the money store don't know how many will go out of business, and there are dozens of profits on the Thirteen Lines, of course, the biggest profit is our Yuanqi, don't you think this matter has anything to do with the big shopkeeper?" ”

"Don't speculate about this, it's hard to spread it." Kong Jian'an said softly, but he thought of Su Mengdie's arrival that day, and mentioned the decline in tea prices, and Su Mengdie left in a hurry soon, this matter is not difficult to guess, as long as you look at the loss of Su Mengdie's tea shop, you can know a rough idea.

"What are you afraid of talking behind closed doors?" Xie Xiuyuan said disapprerovitically: "The group of wine bags and rice bags in the bank mansion, if you don't reach out to rescue the tea shop, you still want to chase loans, and the tea shops have closed down in large numbers, and the money village is not far away, I really don't know how much money will go bankrupt this time?" ”

"You don't have a backache when you stand and talk." Kong Jian'an said with a smile: "Isn't the tea shop a lesson from the past? It is easy to raise prices in unity, but what will be the result of unity to resist the fall? Qian Zhuang is not the same reason, how can we still unite when life and death are at stake? Whoever doesn't chase the loan will have to go out of business! ”

Xie Xiuyuan smiled and said, "Tomorrow is June 18, I want to see how anxious the bank mansion is." As he spoke, he said with great interest: "Let's go, go and talk to the big shopkeeper." ”

"The big shopkeeper is not here." Kong Jian'an said with a smile: "I went out at noon, and I didn't say where to go." ”

"Our big treasurer ......." Xie Xiuyuan shook his head with a smile and said, "I really don't know how he got through it, and his calm bearing is like eighteen years old." ”

Rongqing Garden, backyard.

Yi Zhizhi was content to lie comfortably on the recliner under the grape trellis, shaking and swaying, leisurely, Su Mengdie sat on the side in a gauze dress, peeled a lychee and fed it to him, and said carefully: "I regret not listening to San Lang's words, this tea shop lost seven thousand taels in one day." ”

Yi Zhishu spit out the lychee core and said, "The scale of your tea shop is not small, there are 5,000 quintals?" ”

"Whatever it is, it's two thousand quintals." Su Mengdie glanced at him, and said with palpitations: "Fortunately, I shot more than 1,000 taels in time, and the shopkeeper Xue was also decisive, as soon as the news came out on the second day, he directly sold it all at the price of twenty-two taels, otherwise he would lose more." ”

"Shopkeeper Xue is also a talent." Yi Zhifen smiled and said, "Do you want to earn it back?" ”

"Of course." Su Mengdie raised her eyebrows and said happily: "San Lang has a good business?" ”

"The best business today is tea."

"Tea?"

"Hmm." Yi Zhizu hummed lightly, and then said, "What is the price of tea now?" ”

"Fourteen, thirteen." Su Mengdie said: "If the amount is large, twelve, eleven, or even ten taels and one quintals are possible, and now no one cares about tea at all." ”

"Tomorrow's price will inevitably fall below ten taels, and you can collect it in a big way." Yi Zhisuff said casually: "Send someone to Yuanqi tomorrow, and I will pay 400,000 capital and hand it over to Shopkeeper Xue to take care of." ”

Although she had already admired Yi Zhi's five-body throw, Su Mengdie still hesitated and said, "Can it rebound?" ”

"If you fall too much, you will have to bullet." Yi Zhizhi said: "But don't be greedy, get rid of it as soon as the price reaches fourteen or fifteen." ”

Seeing that he was so sure, Su Mengdie hurriedly said: "The slave family also wants to borrow 400,000 yuan from Yuanqi. ”

"Yuanqi has a rule that the owner can only borrow 100,000 yuan within this month." Yi Zhizu glanced at her and said, "I'm the big shopkeeper, I don't know how many people are staring, don't embarrass me." ”
