Chapter 878: Business
Chapter 878 ·Business
The person closest to me has passed away, leaving only countless regrets and regrets.
Shang Junzhuo wiped away her tears and put the hat back on. This hat was Bai Xiuzhi's last gift to her. She would treasure it for the rest of her life and never wear it again.
Shang Junzhuo calmed down his emotions and said comfortingly, "Don't cry either. There are still many things I need to count on you. If you fall down at this time, all your previous efforts will be wasted and all your efforts will be in vain."
Bai Rongxuan nodded obediently, "I know."
She continued to sort out her brother's belongings.
There are also letters between the two of them in the box, which are tightly bundled.
Bai Rongxuan thought for a moment, untied the hemp rope, and looked at the handwriting on the envelope. There were also letters from her uncle and mother. Her brother had kept them properly. Bai Rongxuan was flipping through them, and suddenly noticed an unfamiliar handwriting.
Could it be that he is from the Bai family?
Bai Rongxuan was confused, so she immediately opened the envelope and pulled out the letter paper.
The letter described in detail what happened to the Bai family that year, including how the second wife used tricks to frame the Tang family, and how the Tang family, who had no ability to resist, was driven out of the Bai family...
There was no signature at the end of the letter, and the handwriting was very sloppy.
It was as if he was deliberately concealing his identity.
Where did this letter come from, and who could be the person who wrote it? Although the Down syndrome incident was a big deal back then, there was a lot of specific information that was not known to outsiders. This person can tell the story
Clearly and clearly, it can be seen that he must be from the Bai family. Why did he tell his brother this?
Bai Rongxuan felt vaguely uneasy.
The most important thing is that my brother has never mentioned his dealings with the Bai family to his family, so why should he hide it from his family?
Is this still the brother in my memory?
Bai Rongxuan couldn't figure it out.
She hurriedly checked Bai Xiuzhi's belongings and found nothing else. She closed the box again and prepared to find a way to take it back to Hangzhou.
After the meal, Wu Jie hurried back sweating profusely.
Bai Rongxuan asked anxiously, "How is it?"
Wu Jie took a few breaths and said seriously, "The Bai family does have some business in Nanjing, and most of them are second-room businesses. I followed your instructions and went to the teahouse. I didn't expect that the people who went there to drink tea at this time were all from the surrounding shops.
Shopkeeper, I closed the store and prepared to relax. I inquired about the Bai family's business. At first, these people were very defensive and refused to say anything. I had to make up that I was a cotton farmer from the northwest and planned to sell the cotton.
Give it to Bai
I wanted to ask about their family background first before making a decision. When these people heard that I had cotton in my hands, they immediately gathered around seven or eight people clamoring to ask about the price. It seemed that they wanted to buy it. I had no choice but to tell nonsense, but luckily I was on the boat.
Talk to the boatman
I have been to cotton, and he also said that there is a severe drought in the northwest this year, and the cotton output is not high, and the price is afraid of going up very high. At that time, he specifically told me to make two more cotton coats, so as not to have enough clothes for the winter, and I would be afraid to buy them now.
It’s about being tricked.”
Shang Junzhuo looked at Wu Jie when he heard the sound and praised, "I didn't expect you to be quite smart."
Wu Jie smiled sheepishly and continued, "I just said that I didn't have much cotton in my hand, and I was prepared to charge a higher price, so I thought of the Bai family, thinking that their family should be able to afford such a big business.
After hearing what I said, four or five of the shopkeepers who came around left, but there were still two who were unwilling to give up and kept sitting with me. I followed Miss Xuan's instructions and treated them to a pot of good tea, and they
He put away his guard against me and said whatever he asked."
Bai Rongxuan was extremely anxious, "What did they say?"
Wu Jie said, "The Bai family's business in Nanjing is not very big. The most profitable ones are a few bank accounts. However, the exchange of trade between the north and the south still requires financial support, which ordinary people cannot afford. The business of the other several grocery stores is not
It’s really not that good. I also asked around, these people have not heard about the Bai family’s recent
If there is something going on in business, he deliberately lowered his voice and told me that the Bai family is now at its peak, and face is the most important thing in the business world, not to mention that the four major families in Shanghai help and benefit each other, as if they are tied together.
Touching one family is equivalent to touching the other three families. It really pisses them off. Anywhere
All the chambers of commerce in Nanjing City have to give some face to the Zhiyuan Chamber of Commerce. On weekdays, as long as the business of these four companies in Shanghai turns a blind eye, it is far worse than the local ones in Nanjing City.
Merchants are much more relaxed. Many years ago, when the Bai family opened a billing account in Nanjing City, they provoked a local family named Yan.
People were dissatisfied and thought that the Bai family stretched their hands too far and actually inserted their hands into their own rice vats to steal rice. He mobilized many merchants to boycott the Bai family and even went to the Chamber of Commerce. People from the Zhiyuan Chamber of Commerce did not want to offend the Bai family.
, I can only lift it high and lower it gently, but the second room of the Bai family is not a fuel-efficient lamp, so it is not enough to get it cheap.
After hearing about the Yan family's affairs, he forcibly raised the profit of the ticket account from three cents to five points. As a result, retail investors in Nanjing City knew about it and transferred all their property to the Bai family's ticket account.
The Yan family's banknotes were emptied out within three days, and eventually they couldn't withdraw their money. Retail investors gathered in the Yan family's big house.
They were forced to give money at the door, otherwise the house would be demolished and the things taken away. The Yan family was forced to have no choice but to transfer money back from Shanxi and Henan overnight. The money from Henan was relatively safe, but the money shipped back from Shanxi was
They happened to catch up with the road bandits. Not only were the shopkeeper who was escorting the money, the clerk and the bodyguards were slaughtered, but the money was also stolen.
The Yan family couldn't hold on, so they had to sell off their ancestral property and fill the hole with the help of the Chamber of Commerce. However, they were unable to recover from then on, and they traveled far away from home and never returned to Nanjing.
After this incident, the old merchants in Nanjing City felt that the Bai family was not honest in doing things, and that the business of separate people was unfair.
He said that he would destroy other people's jobs. There has never been such a business in ancient times. The Bai family is not popular in Nanjing, so the business has not improved. For this reason, the second house of the Bai family has changed four shopkeepers a year, but there is still no success.
Results. It has calmed down a lot in the past two years. I must have recognized the reality clearly."
The second bedroom of the Bai family is too overbearing!
But isn’t this just the way they behave?
Bai Rongxuan frowned when she heard this, and said with a look of disgust on her face, "You have suffered a thousand losses to yourself and eight hundred to the enemy. Although the Yan family has fallen, it has increased profits. Didn't the Bai family suffer even more losses?"
Shang Junzhuo said from the side, "This incident was a big commotion in Nanjing City back then, and I have heard about it. At that time, the Yan family master was almost forced to hang himself. Fortunately, he was discovered by a loyal servant in time.
A life was saved. The trading of ticket numbers is different from ordinary business. On the surface, it seems that the Bai family has not received any benefits, but this is not the case.
The profit increased from three cents to five cents, and the Bai family naturally lost money in interest. But think about it, whose bank account can collect so much money in a short period of time? The Bai family almost lost money at that time.
Most of the retail investors in Nanjing have been kept in their accounts, and there is so much money that they may not be able to keep it in the basement. In the short term, the Bai family has both silver and money.
We then use the money to give to other people in need. As far as I know, when the bank released money, the profit was five cents or even six cents. Even if it was five cents, the Bai family would not lose money. If it could be raised to six cents,
Instead, they earned 10%. You have to know what the bankers are most afraid of? What they are afraid of is having money but no place to use it, and giving profits to retail investors in vain. But the Bai family
It's different. The family is big and the business is spread all over the country. If Nanjing can't be opened, there are Shanghai and Guangdong... The situation is so difficult now. There are so many places to spend money. It's not an exaggeration to say that supply exceeds demand. Retail investors
The money was quickly sent all over the country. This move of the Bai family just took advantage of the snobbery of the four major families, and it is really very clever."
