The first to react to this news, not the bank mansion, but the tea market, tea prices yesterday rebounded strongly to the price of 18 taels and 1 quintals, the tea shop is reluctant to sell, speculators are cautious to buy, is in a delicate balance state, after the news of a shock, the price of tea immediately fell, fell below the integer price of 18 taels and 11 quintals.

In fact, the treatment of Yuanqi Bank to the attached stock money village is too generous, and a number of tea houses are worried that the money village attached to the stock will increase significantly, and the money village will urgently pursue the loan again, so they have begun to increase the number of tea sales, but most speculators dare to chase when the price of tea rebounds, and the situation is not right, out of caution, they have chosen to continue to wait and see.

The tea market is turbulent, but the business of the tea house is surprisingly good, the large and small tea houses in Xiguan are full, and the Tianhai Pavilion tea house with a unique geographical location is already full, and there are still customers entering the door, so that there is a difficult situation to find a table.

So many people come to the teahouse naturally not to eat morning tea, but to listen to the discussion, to inquire about the news, the teahouse is the distribution center of the news, whether it is the money bank, the tea shop, the thirteen lines, the Yuanqi Bank, the price of tea, once there is news, in the teahouse can be known in time.

The price of tea fell, the president of the Tea Industry Association Huang Zichang can be said to be anxious, and hurriedly rushed to the thirteen lines of the business office at the north entrance of Tongwen Street.

The Thirteen Lines of Merchants Office, the living room of the General Chamber of Commerce, Wu Changqing smiled at the Zhongxing Merchants and said: "I just rushed over from the Yuanqi General Account, and the shopkeeper of Yida is negotiating with the shopkeepers of the bank, and I have no time to take a break, so I specially came to tell you."

Taichang and other eight money banks attached to shares, the suppression of tea prices will not last, the opportunity is rare, you can take the opportunity to buy a large number of tea, thirteen lines of shots, will inevitably lead to speculators to follow up, thereby pushing up the price of tea, he wishes you all can make a lot of money. ”

Ma Zuoliang of Shuntai Bank said loudly: "Yuanqi Bank has offered extremely generous treatment to the attached stock bank, but I am afraid that a large number of money banks will come to attach shares, so how dare we eat a large amount of tea?" ”

Wu Changqing said with a smile: "Don't worry, Qianzhuang attaches shares to Yuanqi, when to release the news, when to change the plaque and list, it is all Yuanqi who has the final say, how can it harm you?" ”

"That's right." Wu Tianyuan said with a smile: "The money we speculated on tea was lent to us by Yuanqi Bank, how could Yi Zhixiang cheat us?" ”

Everyone thought about it, since Yi Zhixiang deliberately asked Wu Changqing to tell them, what else was there to worry about, they immediately couldn't sit still, they got up and said goodbye, and were busy arranging the purchase of tea.

Only Wu Shaorong, Pan Zhengwei, and Lu Jiguang were left in the living room, and Wu Changqing sat down and said: "Contentment also said, in order to prevent the bank mansion from reacting aggressively, it is necessary to raise the price of tea as soon as possible." ”

"Overreaction?" Lu Jiguang was a little puzzled and said: "What kind of radical reaction can the bank mansion have?" ”

Wu Changqing glanced at the three of them and said, "Contentment is worried that the bank mansion will break the jar and disrupt the tea market." ”

Wu Shaorong smiled when he heard this, "This is easy to be content, it's really interesting, it's all him." ”

Before the words fell, I heard someone outside report: "Chief merchant Wu, Huang Zichang, chief merchant of the Tea Industry Association, came to visit." ”

"Say I'm out." Wu Shaorong said without hesitation.

"Wait." Pan Zhengwei said: "Since Mr. Huang is here, you might as well meet him, the Thirteen Lines are now helping to raise the price of tea, but they can sell a favor." ”

"In that case, please ask Mr. Huang to come over."

Huang Zichang was also worried that the Thirteen Lines would close the door and refuse guests, and when he saw him, he invited him in, and he was secretly relieved, since he was willing to see him, there was still room for things to turn around, and when he entered the room, he glanced at a few people, and he looked at Pan Zhengwei and complained: "Is the Thirteen Lines trying to kill them all?" ”

"Mr. Huang is so angry." Pan Zhengwei arched his hand with a smile, then stretched out his hand to give up his seat, and said, "If you have something to say, you might as well sit down and speak slowly." ”

Huang Zichang was also not polite, and after sitting down, he said: "The bank mansion saved the tea market yesterday, and Yuanqi Bank came out like this today, is this not going to get along with the bank mansion?" Or can't you get along with our tea industry association? Do you really want to leave the piece of armor that the tea merchant killed? Thirteen Lines is not ready to do tea business in the coming year? ”

"Mr. Huang said he was joking, didn't he?" Pan Zhengwei said with a smile: "Tea trade is the largest business in the foreign trade of the Thirteen Banks, how can we not do tea business?" ”

"Then Yuan Qi's move is aimed at the bank mansion?" Huang Zichang said word by word: "The thirteen banks are fighting with the bank mansion, can they not harm our tea shop?" The tea collapsed, and the tea merchants were already badly injured, and now they can't afford to toss. ”

Pan Zhengwei smiled and said: "The foreign trade of the Qing Dynasty, the tea trade can be said to be the top priority, the number of tea exports, the profit and loss of the business of the year, the tea industry association should join forces with the Thirteen Lines to unanimously fight against foreign businessmen, but many tea merchants and tea merchants have made small profits, crossed the Thirteen Lines, colluded with British and American retail merchants without authorization, and traded ...... privately. ”

This is a condition! Huang Zichang said without hesitation: "The tea merchants colluded with the British and American retail merchants, the board can't just hit the tea merchants, the fence of the Thirteen Lines itself is not firmly established, and the tea shop is allowed to get through the current difficulty, the Tea Industry Association will make great efforts to rectify the tea shop at the moment, how about it?" ”

"Okay." Pan Zhengwei said happily: "Now that England has raised the import tax on tea, and the price of tea has plummeted, let's join forces and unite with the outside world, and there will be a lot to do!" After a pause, he continued: "At present, the tea shop is in difficulty, and the Thirteen Lines will not stand idly by, and will definitely help." ”

"Is that true?" Huang Zichang said with a surprised face.

"Nature is true." Pan Zhengwei said with a smile: "Mr. Huang, wait and see, there will be a reaction at noon in the tea market." ”

Before noon, the tea market had a reaction, the thirteen lines of businessmen rushed to buy tea in a high-profile manner, which is tantamount to a clear weather vane, which instantly ignited the enthusiasm of speculators, and there are bank mansions and thirteen banks to work together to save the tea market, and they are worried that the price of tea will not rise? Many people have followed the rush to buy tea, and the price of tea has risen steadily, and by noon, it has broken through the threshold of 221 quintals.

In the backyard of Yuanqi General No., the guys are flowing endlessly, coming and going, reporting the latest quotations and transactions in the tea market, reporting the rumors on the market, and reporting the movements of the pawnshop printing bureau of various large and small banks.

Seeing that everything was calm and the price of tea was rising steadily, Yi Zhixiang breathed a sigh of relief, he had been worried that the bank mansion would be annoyed and angry, suppress the price of tea, and burn all the jade.
