MTL - Fight the Giants-Chapter 830 who dug the hole
A few years ago, the major shops in the city were bustling with selling and buying goods, and the crowds were crowded. Especially cloth shop.
Whether it is ready-made clothes and fabrics, cloth or cotton fur, the sales are booming. The common people have worked hard for a year, and they are willing to tear up a few feet of cloth to make new clothes.
Dujun's shop is empty.
The manager of the shopkeeper boasted that he was doing noble business, so he didn't care too much. The common people tear a foot or two of linen, even if there are constant customers in the shop from morning to night, they can't earn a few copper coins. I didn't delve into it much.
Unexpectedly, this year, the situation is still the same.
"Why does Curry have so much fabric left?"
There is a lot of fabric left, so naturally it cannot be sold. There is no other reason for this.
But the guys buried their heads like ostriches, and no one dared to answer.
The cashier was taken aback by the shopkeeper's stare. Do you suspect that he has made false accounts? "Boss, many shops in the city were selling at a reduced price a few years ago. If we don't lower but increase, maybe there will be more left?"
The shopkeeper frowned: "Are they still cutting prices?"
A clerk who knew the situation hurriedly responded: "The same fabric is cheaper than ours." Years ago, he secretly called his family and went to another shop to take advantage of the cheapness and bought two more.
How does this say? The same fabric is sold cheaper than his home? These shops don't want to make money anymore? Or should we leave his family behind after discussing it?
The shopkeeper looked at a warehouse full of inventory and was devastated.
This cloth will become damp and moldy after being stored for a long time, and the cloth will turn yellow and fade. I am afraid that it will be sold at a reduced price. Just when I was thinking about the investigation of various companies, I found that the fabrics ordered years ago were being delivered to the city in a steady stream.
Three large warehouses were vacated to accommodate the fabrics.
The shopkeeper was dumbfounded when he saw the mountains of various fabrics. "Our shop has purchased so much fabric?" Why didn't he know?
"Shopkeeper, have you forgotten that in the middle of the year, we signed a big order with Xifan and Xiyu to supply all kinds of expensive cloths there?" the manager reminded.
In the middle of the year, a big order was signed, all of them were nobles from Xifan and the Western Regions, and they wanted silk, satin, silk brocade and other expensive fabrics.
Because of the large order in hand, no one from the shopkeeper to the staff took the price reduction of the shops in the city a year ago to heart.
The shopkeeper slapped his head, no, he forgot about it. Some years ago the caravan sent out some of them.
"What's the matter, the caravan that went to Xifan in Niannian hasn't come back yet?"
"Winter roads are difficult. In previous years, there were times when I returned late." The manager explained to the caravan.
The shopkeeper just breathed a sigh of relief. I saw that the merchants who delivered the goods blocked the door and refused to leave, asking them to pay for the goods in cash.
"Settle the payment?" The shopkeeper frowned, "Isn't there always been two payment periods in previous years? The payment has to be settled as soon as the goods are delivered? There is no such reason."
In the business field, the pressing period is actually quite normal. As a seller, I buy goods from the manufacturer, and I have to wait for the store to sell them before the funds can be returned.
In order to keep the business running smoothly and not break the capital chain, they negotiated to postpone the payment for a certain period of time. Generally, the billing period is negotiated by both parties. Sometimes a billing period is a few days, half a month, a month, a quarter, or even a longer period of time.
But this kind of agreed account period is generally a well-established supply relationship, which is usually the case between reputable old stores. Otherwise, it's all cash.
That is to say, the Jun's shop is a big bully. Relying on its relationship with the Mu family, everything has to be pressed.
Because many businesses were broken, and they knew that the other party was lowering the price, and delayed the payment, many people dared not speak out, but they all admitted it.
The shopkeeper of the cloth shop thought that when the batch of cloth was delivered, he would not settle the money until they sold it. He didn't expect to be blocked in the shop and asked to pay the money.
"You guys are going to break the rules! In previous years, didn't you wait for the next batch of goods to arrive after a season before paying for the goods?" What's the matter with these people, don't they want to do business with Jun's family?
Jun’s family has taken other people’s goods and pressured other people’s goods for money all these years. Their business is booming, and they forgot about spot settlement.
"Shopkeeper, please do me a favor. We have been taxed heavily in the past two years, and we have no choice. If we don't take the money back, we will have to close the shop. We can't open the pot at home."
"Yes, yes, we are the same. Shopkeeper, please do your best. If you don't settle the payment, we won't leave."
"We're not leaving either..."
The backyard of Universal Bank.
Huo Xi was in a happy mood after hearing Gen Qi's report.
"So, the shopkeeper refused to settle the payment, so they all went to sit in front of the gate of Jun's house? Blocked Mrs. Jun in the room? They also said that they would go to Mu's mansion to ask the eldest son if they couldn't settle the payment?"
Gen Qi's mouth almost reached his ears.
Nodding his head ruthlessly: "That's not true. Mrs. Jun didn't show up, but only sent a steward to bombard people. Who knew that those merchants were not easy to mess with, but they even yelled that the Jun family was bullying people, and even went to the Mu Mansion in groups I went, and said that I want the Duke of the country to give them justice."
Huo Xi couldn't help laughing out loud.
Given Aunt Jun's **** nature, she wished she could go to the city to help her son gain popular support, but she would not let others ruin her son's reputation. This trouble, I'm afraid Mrs. Jun doesn't want to pay the money.
"Well done! The person who notified us spread the news. It is said that Jun's purchase of a large amount of fabrics is done now."
"Yes. This subordinate will do it now!"
Jun Mingzhang is dead, and there is no proof of his death. Who knows who signed the agreement and how many goods were ordered. But Jun couldn't refute it yet, so he could only admit it while pinching his nose.
Isn’t the Jun family rich, so just pay for it.
As soon as the news was released, more than cloth merchants continued to send cloth to Jun. That is, Jun's shop and other shops, whether they are suppliers or distributors, all come to the door. Either all kinds of goods were delivered, or all kinds of contracts were used to ask Jun to settle the arrears.
No money, right? Okay, then go to the Mu Mansion to find Duke Qian and the eldest son.
Grandpa Jun hurriedly called him back.
I am afraid that Duke Qian will reprimand him. Broken family dependence.
He vomited three liters of blood at home, asked the accountant at home to light the lamp and boil wax, figure out how much cash was left, and take the cash to go out to settle the payment. I'm afraid that the peers will laugh at their family for having no money to make goods.
People who have passed under the wall of the Jun family are said to have heard the sound of abacus beads coming from his house, which lasted all night.
Soon, no matter what shop the Jun family had, the warehouses were filled with all kinds of goods. Even the empty houses under Jun's name were filled with all kinds of goods, and even the empty houses of the clansmen were not spared.
Looking at the mountains of various goods, Mrs. Jun couldn't stand with weak legs, "Why did you order so many goods?"
Called the storekeepers of the shops and scolded them, "Who signed the list, who ordered the goods, so many goods can't be sold out for several years!"
There is no doubt that someone will punish them in this wave. As for who it is, it is still being investigated. Mrs. Jun now suspects that someone is fishing in troubled waters and defrauding them with a fake order contract.
