Chapter 316 Jealousy
Author: Qingqingyinuo
At that time, they thought that the Taifu Mansion might not want to have too much involvement with the merchants or the three imperial merchants, so they did not agree to join the Capital Chamber of Commerce. They did not know that Lin Shuran refused because he could not stand their overbearing and despicable cooperation methods.
However, they still accepted the cooperation document handed over by Xu Minghan. The shopkeeper of the Wu family read it over first. Before he finished reading, his face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and even the look he looked at Xu Minghan was a bit angry.
and Yin Leng, and then the storekeepers of the Yan family and the Bai family also quickly looked at it. After reading it, their expressions were similar to those of the storekeeper of the Wu family.
"This is impossible!" The shopkeeper of the Wu family was so angry that he slapped the table, but Xu Minghan just glanced at him coldly, with a more intriguing look on his face. If they didn't agree to this cooperation document, they might suffer a loss.
Who is the one!
"The shopkeepers should show this document to your respective family heads, maybe they can accept it!" Xu Minghan said with a smile.
But he saw that the three shopkeepers all glared at him at the same time, looking at Xu Minghan with a bit of contempt, and even thought that he was just having a whim. The cooperation document stated that the chamber of commerce was not allowed to ask for sugar and braised pork recipes in any form.
, and must unconditionally provide shops and goods that the Chamber of Commerce will facilitate to the Xu family. In return, the Xu family will give the Chamber of Commerce a 10% bonus.
"10% bonus? Huh, what do you think of our Chamber of Commerce?" The shopkeeper of the Wu family yelled angrily. Xu Minghan's cooperation document simply humiliated the Chamber of Commerce, so he threw up his sleeves and left without any shame.
Immediately afterwards, the shopkeepers of the Yan family and the Bai family also left. It was obvious that this cooperation document would not be accepted by the third-class shopkeeper. Xu Minghan did not care. He and others left and slowly walked towards the cooperation document that was thrown on the ground.
, bent down to pick it up and blew the non-existent dust on it with great care.
When writing this cooperation document, Lin Shuran once said this: "A real chamber of commerce and merchants should be mutually beneficial, rather than harming and embezzling the interests of merchants, otherwise the chamber of commerce will be meaningless."
"Even 10% is too much for me!" Xu Minghan carefully folded the cooperation documents and put them into his arms, murmured to himself and walked out of Penglai Restaurant. I believe that no one from the Beijing Chamber of Commerce will think about letting him join the association in the future.
Bar.
In the next half month, the business of Xu's sugar shop got better and better day by day. It was crowded with people coming to buy sugar and candies from morning to night. Moreover, the rich and wealthy people in the city directly approached Lin Shuran, asking for money every month.
I bought a large amount of white sugar from the Xu Family Sugar Shop, and some businessmen approached Xu Minghan and said they would cooperate with him to transport the Xu Family White Sugar and candies to other places for sale.
Seeing that the business of the Xu family's sugar shop was so good, more than one person was jealous. In addition to the three royal merchants of the Beijing Chamber of Commerce, there was also Su Yunsheng, the son of the current Grand Sima Su He.
Su Yunsheng has a sugar shop under his name. As the son of Da Sima, his sugar shop business has always been good, and many mansions in the capital buy sugar from his shop. In recent years, the Su family sugar shop has been
Earned a lot of money for him.
But now there is another Xu family sugar shop in the capital, and it sells a kind of white sugar that he has never seen before. It has directly brought the business to the palace, and has taken away most of his business in the capital. Now
The business of Su's sugar shop plummeted, and he was worried about it.
Secretly, he also asked someone to inquire about the Xu family's sugar shop. Although he found the location, there were people guarding the sugar shop, and no strangers were allowed to approach. Moreover, the people there were very vigilant and careful, and even had some martial arts skills.
Basically, it's not easy to mess with at first glance.
On this day, Su Wanwan returned to her parents' home early in the morning. Although Xiao Chen had already written a divorce letter to her, she had torn it up long ago. Moreover, her father Su He had also talked to her parents-in-law about Xiao Chen's divorce.
She doesn't count, she is still the daughter-in-law of the Xiao family. After the Queen Mother allowed her to return to the palace, she also returned to the Minister's Palace.
In the past two months since she came back, she has been behaving well in front of Xiao Chen and her parents-in-law to prove that she has really changed. In the past, it was just because she loved Xiao Chen so much that she was blinded by jealousy. After this period of time,
After reflection, she knew she was wrong and would do her duty as a wife and daughter-in-law in the future, but Xiao Chen still ignored her and even used official business as an excuse not to see her.
Su Wanwan felt depressed, so she often returned to her parents' home during this period. After meeting her mother and sister-in-law, she learned that her elder brother was worried about the sugar shop business, so she went to see him.
"Brother, haven't you thought of a good way yet?" Su Wanwan had also heard that a new sugar shop had been opened in the General's Mansion, and the business was booming. It was Lin Shuran's good luck that Xu Junze saved the orphan of the Ren family, and the life was prosperous.
Like a phoenix, mice are born to dig holes. It seems that Xu Minghan is also born to be a good businessman. He is already so good at a young age. He doesn't know what he will be like when he grows up.
Su Yunsheng glanced at his sister and nodded with a grim expression. If the other party was a small person, he would have solved it easily, but the other party had a high status and power, so it was difficult to move.
Su Wanwan rolled her eyes, approached her brother with a smile, and said deliberately: "Brother, there is no need to be so anxious. What's so rare about this? I think the Xu Family Sugar Shop buys brown sugar from sugar merchants in Shu.
Who sold him white sugar? It can be seen that the white sugar in the Xu Family Sugar Shop is made from brown sugar. However, it is not yet known how the brown sugar turned into white sugar. As long as the source of brown sugar in the Xu Family Sugar Shop is cut off, they will not be able to make white sugar.
Come, when the time comes, the palace will not be able to supply sugar, and they will not have sugar from each government. They will definitely offend people. Xu Junze is not in the capital. Even if the emperor and the queen mother are protecting him, the Xu family has offended many people before. This is a timely help.
There aren’t many, but there will be a lot of people who add insult to injury!”
Su Wanwan's words made Su Yunsheng suddenly enlightened. The brother and sister smiled in unison, with a sinister light in their eyes.
In the following days, Xu Minghan suddenly discovered that the sugar merchants were inexplicably unwilling to sell sugar to him. The reasons given were also different. Some said that the sugar was bought by other buyers halfway, and some said that it was transported by water.
At that time, the boat capsized and the sugar entered the river, and some simply said that there was no raw material in Shu.
Lin Shuran also learned about this. She asked Xu Minghan that the brown sugar in her hand could last for five more days at most. If the raw material of brown sugar was gone, the palace alone would not be able to supply it.
"Mom, I have sent people directly to Shu to find raw materials. It's just that it takes several months to go back and forth. Water from far away can't quench the thirst nearby. What should I do?" Even if Xu Minghan has genius-like business methods, it is difficult for a clever woman to do it.
Without rice to cook a meal, he also became anxious.
