Colleagues defection
As Xujia Liquor Shop’s new wine Mingyuan Liquor becomes more and more popular, many liquor stores also sell Mingyuan Liquor. Although the price of this wine is low, there are so many people buying it, and because the supply exceeds demand, the price of this wine
The price started to rise immediately, but the price of wine at Xu's Liquor Store remained the same.
Seeing the profits, some big wine merchants no longer wanted to ask the Xu family to raise the price of Mingyuan wine. Instead, they wanted to buy it at a low price and sell it at a high price, so that they could make a lot of money elsewhere.
However, Xu Minghan, the young owner, has conditions for selecting merchants who have high demand and want to cooperate with the Xu family, and soon these big wine merchants know that the Xu family wine shop actually has a collaborator.
And the identity of this collaborator is also unusual.
"Master Bai, are you saying that the Xu family's collaborator is King Yao?" On this day, in the Capital Chamber of Commerce, Bai Zhanyang gathered all the shopkeepers of the major liquor stores in the capital together, planning to discuss how to deal with the Xu family together.
Liquor shop, but when Bai Zhanyang said that the collaborator of the Xu family liquor shop was Prince Yao’s Mansion, everyone backed down.
We are all people who have been working in the shopping mall for many years. Even if we don’t explain some things clearly, we understand the serious relationship between them. Others don’t know the status of Prince Yao’s Mansion among businessmen, but they all have a strong sense in their hearts. Several generations of Prince Yao have
The people behind this are all the emperors of the day. In other words, Prince Yao's Mansion has been making money for the emperor.
Xu Junze, the general, was originally the most valued and trusted person by the emperor. It was not surprising that the shop he opened cooperated with Prince Yao's Mansion. Although their respective wine shops were also affected by Mingyuan Liquor, in fact, compared to
Baijia Winery, their losses were not the biggest.
"Hmph, it doesn't matter if it's King Yao. The Xu family has maliciously kept the price of wine so low just to deal with our wine merchants in the Capital Chamber of Commerce. Isn't it because we didn't sell grain to the court? But we also have to use grain to make wine, right?
, You are not letting us live!" Bai Zhanyang met with Zhao Mu, the young prince of Prince Yao's Mansion yesterday, and the other party actually wanted him to give up the Bai family's granary. This was impossible, so he refused on the spot.
When Bai Zhanyang mentioned food, many people present fell silent. Now that the price of food is rising day by day, the Bai family is doing a lot of tricks behind the scenes. It seems that Mingyuan Wine did not appear for no reason. The Xu family and Prince Yao's Mansion want to
The target is not these people, but the Bai family.
After thinking about this, even fewer people are talking. They are just businessmen. Even if they have wealth, they still have power to rely on. However, the people do not fight against the officials. This is an eternal truth, let alone fighting against the imperial power.
That's not throwing an egg against a rock, but Bai Zhanyang has long forgotten this. He arrogantly believes that he holds the lifeline of "food" in his hands, and can even control the imperial power, let alone a small Xu family.
The wine shop is open.
Next, Bai Zhanyang tried every means to cause trouble for the Xu family wine shop, constantly slandering the Xu family's new wine, Mingyuan Wine, in an attempt to ruin the reputation of the new wine.
After Lin Shuran knew this, she wanted to help Xu Minghan deal with this situation, but the Xu family brothers, considering her physical condition, did not let her intervene, and Xu Minghan also told her that the Bai family affairs would be left to him and him.
The young prince Zhao Mu is fine.
Lin Shuran thought that since Xu Minghan planned to pursue business, he could train him more, and with the help of Prince Yao's Mansion, he shouldn't suffer any loss when competing with the Bai family in the mall.
Sure enough, in less than half a month, all the Bai family's business in the capital was robbed, and the big wine merchants second only to the Bai family were willing to donate their granaries to the court to stabilize the soaring food prices, and even persuaded some
Grain merchants have also restored grain prices to parity.
Not only that, the palace also stopped using Baijiajiu and replaced it with Yujiajiu, Dingjiajiu and Meijiajiu, which are second only to Baijiajiu. These three are also from aristocratic winemaking families, and their wines are not
It's not worse than the Baijia wine, but it has been suppressed by the Baijia these years and can't take another step forward.
Immediately afterwards, news came from Baijia Liquor Stores in various states, saying that no one buys Baijia Liquor anymore, and they all prefer Mingyuan Liquor, which is good quality and cheap. Even those big liquor stores sell only their own liquor.
He also started selling Mingyuan wine on behalf of others.
"How is this possible!" Bai Zhanyang didn't believe that those who originally stood with him would choose to abandon him in such a short period of time, and it was even less likely that Baijiajiu would be replaced overnight.
On this day, heavy snow fell. Two brothers, Xu Minghan and Xu Mingchen, met Zhao Mu, the young prince of Prince Yao's Mansion, in a village on the outskirts. The three of them sat around the heater. Xu Mingchen took out an envelope and handed it to Zhao Mu, and said
: "Here's the rest!"
Zhao Mu took it with a smile and said: "Thank you mother for me. Without her help again, the matter would not have been solved so smoothly!"
"You are so polite, young prince. My mother said that she had planned to disclose the recipe for Mingyuan Wine. If a few recipes can calm this incident, of course she is willing to share it." Xu Mingchen said.
Just when the Bai family started to target the Xu family wine shop, Lin Shuran wrote out the making methods of Mingyuan wine in detail, and then wrote several wine-making recipes and personally drew a set of wine-making equipment.
She also asked the brothers Xu Minghan and Xu Mingchen to hand these over to Zhao Mu, and also stated her purpose of handing them over to Zhao Mu.
Since the Bai family wants to use food to disrupt the market, they should isolate him in the shortest possible time and disintegrate the alliances among their merchants. Who doesn't want to be the best, and who is willing to be second to others? What's more, the Bai family has had many people in recent years.
When you bully your peers, everyone dares to get angry but dare not say anything.
Therefore, under Zhao Mu's operation, those colleagues who originally chose to side with the Bai family all switched sides, because the cooperation conditions Zhao Mu gave them were too tempting, including a recipe for Mingyuan wine and one that could improve the wine making.
Zhao Mu even promised that after the work is completed, those who have made meritorious deeds will receive a secret wine recipe from the palace.
In the face of huge interests, savvy businessmen made their own choices. After careful consideration, whether they were wine merchants or grain merchants, they chose to finally cooperate with Zhao Mu, not only for the "benefits" provided by Zhao Mu, but also
With his "threat", they were very afraid that the emperor would settle accounts later.
Grain merchants are even more like Ming Jing. Since the imperial court issued a new decree and the Ministry of Household Affairs encouraged the people to change their farming methods, the grain yield per mu in the autumn of the Jin Dynasty is now very high. If the imperial court and the people adopt new farming methods next year,
Then food will definitely not be as tight as this winter, and the court will no longer be controlled by grain merchants. Their good days of making money are coming to an end.
They thought about taking the opportunity to make a fortune this winter, but they didn't think about angering the emperor. For the sake of the future, they had to make a choice as soon as possible between the emperor and the Bai family, and there was no need to think too much about who to choose.
