In the backyard of Taihesheng Tea, I heard that the front desk shopkeeper reported that the Tea Industry Association had sent someone to sell tea, He Shutai sighed and said: "The way of using soldiers, attacking the heart is to attack the city for the bottom, the heart for the battle, and the war for the bottom, but it's a pity, after all, it is still a short-handed ......." ”

Wang Chao glanced at him, and pursed his lips disapprenorantly, there is Yuan Qi behind the Tea Industry Guild, how can it be so easy to scare away? Of course, he also hopes to be able to scare off the tea industry guild, so that the price of tea can be easily raised without spending much silver, but is this possible? It's nothing more than wishful thinking!

"Close!" Wang Chao said in a deep voice: "First postpone the small order, make every effort to acquire the big order, and report the transaction situation at any time." ”

"Yes." The shopkeeper answered, walked away quickly, Wang Chao took a sip of herbal tea, shook the pu fan, and said, "Brother Zi'an actually used the art of war in the mall?" ”

"Shopping malls are like battlefields!"

"Well, that's a brilliant statement."

"Who is saying this?"

"Who?" Wang Chaoyi said disapprerovitically: "It should be a senior who is both a Confucian and a businessman." ”

"Inferiority is wrong." He Shutai said: "These words came from the mouth of the great treasurer of Yuanqi, Yi Zhizhi, and he also asked the children of the Thirteen Elements to read more about the art of war. ”

"Oh?" Wang Chaoyi sighed in surprise, and was silent for a moment before he spoke: "Governing the country with righteousness and using soldiers with odds, it seems that this Yi Da shopkeeper likes to take the sword and go ......." Speaking of this, he smiled and said: "As the so-called one force will drop ten, we will crush it in a dignified manner, I don't believe that Yuan Qi can still have any way to suppress the tea market, you must know that the vast majority of speculators and tea merchants are looking forward to the rise in tea prices." ”

He Shutai didn't say anything, Yuan Qi used Guangdong Customs to vigorously rectify foreign businessmen, so as to achieve the purpose of suppressing the tea market and tea prices, this can indeed be regarded as a sword to go sideways, in addition, Yuan Qi has any other way?

At the front counter, a group of shopkeepers and men are busy in an orderly manner, because the number of tea purchased is large, and the number of people is large, all the procedures are simplified, only need to make a purchase contract, indicating the price of tea, quantity, grade, delivery time, place, warehouse and other elements, after signing and drawing, the two sides exchange bills of lading and promissory notes, even if the transaction is completed.

Such a transaction is simple and fast, and it will not take long for the transaction of the eight major tea merchants of the Tea Industry Association to end, Chen Jiawang has been staring at the counter, seeing that there are no merchants who ask for large orders to trade behind him, he can't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, although the amount of 40,000 taels is not small, but compared to the funds they raised, it is really not big.

After taking a sip of herbal tea, he was about to go back to the backyard to summarize the report, but he heard a commotion outside the store, and his heart couldn't help sinking, and there was another big order! Sure enough, a guy quickly ran in and reported: "The Thirteen Lines of Anchang Xing Rong Daguan is here in person." ”

An Changxing, Rong Daguan? An Cheong Hong also hoarded tea? Chen Jiawang faintly felt a little wrong, and hurriedly said: "Hurry up and ask, how big is the list?" ”

Soon, the man replied: "Seven thousand quintals." ”

Seven thousand quintals is not much, but it is also a lot, and the question is whether the other merchants of the Thirteen Lines also hoarded a large amount of tea in their hands? Chen Jiawang faintly felt a little bad in his heart, and hurriedly instructed the shopkeeper: "Delay for a while, wait for me to reply." With that, he turned around and went into the backyard.

Hearing the report, He Shutai and Wang Chaoyi were also quite surprised, there was actually a hoarding of tea in the hands of the thirteen merchants? Is it the exception? Or is it hoarded by everyone? Groaning slightly, He Shutai's face was a little ugly and said: "Among the thirteen lines, I'm afraid that more than An Changxing has tea?" ”

"There's no reason for that." Wang Chao said: "Since the collapse of tea, the price of tea can be said to have been manipulated by Yuanqi, and when the high price of twenty-seven taels, why didn't Anchang sell it?" Is there a gap between Anchang Hong and Fu Tai Xing? Or was An Chang Hong too greedy and didn't sell it in time? ”

"Now is not the time to delve into it." He Shutai said: "In the worst-case scenario, the thirteen lines of merchants have hoarded a large amount of tea in their hands, to accept it or not? ”

"Close!" Wang Chaoyi said without thinking: "I just received 40,000 quintals from the Tea Industry Association, isn't it a joke not to accept it now?" Moreover, the thirteen merchants may not have tea left by everyone. ”

This is indeed unreasonable, and He Shutai didn't believe that the Thirteen Elements still had a large amount of tea hoarded in their hands, so he immediately nodded and said, "Then take it." ”

Rong Youguang of An Cheong Hong went out of the store, and Luo Futai of Dong Cheong Hong came one after another, and the amount of tea sold was 1,000 quintals more than that of An Cheong Hong, 8,000 quintals!

The next to appear is Wu Tianyuan, who is in the same line, who sells 9,000 quintals of tea, and Ma Zuoliang, who is in Shuntaixing, who sells 10,000 quintals of tea.

Seeing the thirteen lines of a group of merchants one after another, the number of tea sold is gradually increasing, Taihesheng tea outside a group of spectators can not help but discuss, are for the Shunde silk merchants to pinch a sweat, this situation fools also see that the thirteen lines of a group of merchants hoarded a large number of tea, people are afraid of frightening the Shunde silk merchants, did not rush up, but take turns to sell, step by step to consume the Shunde silk merchants' silver.

What does this mean? It shows that the thirteen lines are full of confidence, and what people are thinking about is not to suppress the Shunde silk merchants, but to drag the Shunde silk merchants to death in the tea market! While worrying about the silk merchants in Shunde, everyone was also puzzled, why did the tea in the hands of the thirteen merchants not make a move at the high price of tea? Why didn't they sell at a price of more than twenty-seven taels, but stayed until now, could it be that they had long expected the Shunde Silk Chamber of Commerce to come to the tea market? If so, that's incredible!

On a hot day, He Shutai and Wang Chaoyi felt a little cold and cold! Not only cold, but also terrifying! How much tea did the Thirteen Merchants hoard in their hands? The two of them didn't dare to guess, and now they were riding a tiger, and they couldn't allow them to retreat! It can only be hard to collect, collect!

Yi Yuanchang of Futai Xing was the last to appear, selling 18,800 quintals, just when He Shutai and Wang Chaoyi felt desperate, Chen Jiawang hurriedly ran over and said excitedly: "It's gone!" No one is here in the thirteenth line! ”

Thirteen Lines have no tea in their hands? He Shutai and Wang Chaoyi glanced at each other with some surprise, both of them had a feeling of being in a desperate situation, He Shutai quickly calmed down and said, "How many merchants have come to the Thirteen Lines?" ”

Chen Jiawang hurriedly said: "The Wu family, the Pan family, the Lu family and the Yan family did not come, and the others came." ”

"The Yan family's Xingtai Bank is heavily in debt, and it is very likely that it did not participate in the tea market." Wang Chao said with palpitations: "Didn't the Wu, Pan, and Lu families also participate in the tea market?" Will there be a bigger amount to come? ”

"No, since the merchants of the Thirteen Lines came one after another, they will not be divided into two groups." He Shutai said firmly: "There should be none." ”
