In the backyard of Hengchangli business diagonally opposite the Taihesheng tea number, more than a dozen tea merchants gathered in the side room and discussed softly, all of them were full of melancholy, the strength of the Shunde silk merchants, so that everyone was surprised and worried, and they were crawling and rolling in the tea market for more than ten years or even decades, their intentions for the Shunde silk merchants can be said to be clear at a glance, but they are helpless.

Obviously, the Shunde silk merchants are coming to the Tea Guild and them to restore the price of tea to yesterday's high price today, and the purpose is to buy the tea in the hands of everyone, not to sell it? The tea market is bound to be hot, the other party can raise the price of tea, smoothly get out of the tea market, sell, and the other party can manipulate the tea market and tea price as much as he wants after purchasing the tea in their hands, which is a dignified and upright strategy! In other words, it's bullying people with more money!

Just when everyone was at a loss, Huang Zichang walked in slowly, everyone got up and gave up their seats, Huang Zichang didn't sit down, glanced at everyone, and said slowly: "The current situation, there is no need for the old man to say more, since the Shunde silk merchants are openly calling for battle, the tea industry association has no reason to fight, the old man is determined to suppress it, and he will do his best to suppress it!"

This suppression, your loss is bound to be not small, the old man is not strong, willing to share the honor and disgrace with the Tea Guild, please stay, feel that you can't afford the loss, please take it easy, businessmen are profitable, good luck and avoid evil, it is common sense, you don't need to be reluctant. ”

A group of tea merchants couldn't help but look at each other, Huang Zichang's words were a little tragic, quite a kind of taste that would rather be broken than broken, obviously, he didn't have any confidence in his heart, but he had to suppress it for the sake of the face of the Tea Industry Association!

What does repression mean? It means that they have to throw out all the tea in their hands at a price of twenty-five taels and seven dollars, once they can't suppress the Shunde silk merchants, the price of tea will rise steadily, and their losses may be tens of thousands, or even tens of thousands! After several twists and turns, all tea merchants have suffered a lot of losses, and there are not a few people who have the intention to quit.

The room was quiet for a while, and a middle-aged tea merchant walked out, bowed to Huang Zichang, and said, "President Huang, this time the tea collapsed, and we have suffered heavy losses, and I really can't afford to lose any more, I hope President Huang will forgive me." With that, he walked out of the room quickly.

Seeing that someone took the lead, a few tea merchants who originally felt that they couldn't pull their faces also bowed down and saluted out of the room, Huang Zichang didn't say anything, and no one left anymore when he saw it, so he slowly sat down, looked at the eight tea merchants who were still in the room one by one, and said: "You are willing to stay and share the honor and disgrace with the Tea Guild, the old man is very p......leased." ”

Li Anshun of the tea market arched his hand and said: "Forgive me for being blunt, it is already noon, and there are many discussions outside, and it is short and long, if President Huang is determined to suppress the silk merchants in Shunde, it is not appropriate to delay it any longer." ”

"There's no hurry." Huang Zichang said: "Whether to suppress it, how to suppress it, we still need to wait for the shopkeeper Yida to come to decide, and you will first report the number of tea industry at hand." ”

The tea merchants were stunned when they heard this, didn't they have decided to suppress it? Why do you say that you have to wait for the shopkeeper to come and decide? After everyone reported the amount of tea they had hoarded, Li Anshun hesitated: "Does President Huang believe that the shopkeeper Yida has a way to solve the current dilemma?" ”

"Shopkeeper Li is a fan of the authorities." A tea merchant in his early thirties said with a smile: "Before the shopkeeper of Yida arrived, President Huang cut his wings, so it can be seen that the shopkeeper of Yida must have a lot of tea in his hands, as long as there is enough tea in his hands, it is not difficult to break the situation." ”

Huang Zichang glanced at him with some surprise, this Li Wenjin's mind was so smart! Just as he was about to speak, Li Anshun was the first to say: "Shopkeeper Li's words are too easy, Shunde silk merchants dare to openly call for battle, there must be strong funds to rely on, even if Yida shopkeeper has tea in his hand, how much can it have?" And how to ......? ”

"Sir-." Huang Zichang's entourage hurried to the door and reported: "The shopkeeper of Yida has arrived." ”

As soon as he heard that Yi Zhizhi had arrived, Huang Zichang hurriedly got up and said, "Let's go, follow me to meet you." ”

Huang Zichang took a few steps forward and said with a smile: "The shopkeeper of Yida can be regarded as coming, and the old man and other tea merchants are looking forward to the shopkeeper of Yida, like a great drought and looking forward to Ganlin." ”

"I've seen the shopkeeper of Yida." Li Wenjin and other tea merchants followed to pay their respects.

Yi Zhisuff smiled and arched his hand: "I went to the Governor's Mansion early in the morning, and I am tired of you waiting for a long time." ”

As soon as he heard that he had rushed over from the Governor's Palace, Huang Zichang smiled and said, "There is a tired and easy shopkeeper to run around, please." ”

Everyone entered the house and sat down, and Huang Zichang said: "Shopkeeper Li, tell Shopkeeper Yida about the current situation in detail." ”

Li Wenjin was not humble, explained the situation in detail, and then said boldly: "I take the liberty to ask, I don't know how much tea is in the hands of the shopkeeper Yida?" ”

Yi Zhizu glanced at everyone, looked at Huang Zichang again, and saw that he bowed slightly, and knew that these were all tea merchants deliberately cultivated by Huang Zichang, and even said truthfully: "The thirteen lines and the merchants still have 100,000 taels in their hands. As he spoke, he looked at Huang Zichang and said, "What does President Huang think?" ”

"Suppress!" Huang Zichang said without hesitation: "You can't let the other party get out calmly." ”

Li Anshun interjected: "Our eight families have a total of 40,000 quintals of tea, plus these 100,000 quintals, it is only 140,000 quintals, and I am worried that Shunde silk merchants can easily swallow these 140,000 quintals ......." ”

"You don't have to worry." Yi Zhizhi said with a smile: "Yuanqi Bank is not just a decoration. As he spoke, he took out his pocket watch and looked at it, and when he saw that it had passed, he said, "People have been calling for a long time at the door, and you should also open the door to fight." ”

Seeing that he looked confident, Huang Zichang didn't ask much, and said to everyone with a smile: "There is a big shopkeeper for you, although you can sell with confidence, however, it is best to delay a little time, and the merchants of the Thirteen Lines are afraid that they will come later." ”

"No, you don't." Yi Zhizhi said: "All the way here, I have already sent someone to inform the thirteen lines. ”

Seeing a group of tea merchants appeared outside the door of Taihesheng Tea, the crowd of onlookers immediately burst into cheers, they did not support the Tea Industry Association, but looked forward to the good show for a long time finally opened! The Tea Guild did not disappoint them, and finally suppressed it!

The news spread quickly, the whole tea market was boiling, many people rushed to come, the streets near the Taihesheng tea were crowded, everyone didn't want to witness this dragon and tiger fight, the business war was not a ring, there was nothing to see, they just wanted to know the result first, this vicious battle around the pricing power of tea, who could win in the end?
