Chapter 166 Su Cheng
Chapter 166 Su Cheng
Pingcheng is the city closest to the capital. Although it is not as good as the capital, in recent years, due to the Wei family's control of the capital, many merchants have begun to develop in Pingcheng. Pingcheng is close to the capital, and business has become increasingly prosperous.
Although Wei Ying had doubts about Huiniang's words, but forced by the situation, he decided to let the guards go to Pingcheng in person to find out the truth.
Two days later, the guard returned to the capital. He hurried into Weiying's study and told Weiying what he had learned in Pingcheng.
After he finished speaking, Captain Wei raised his eyebrows and said in shock: "You said the price is 30% higher than the original price on the market?"
"Yes, the boss of Hengyuanchang was wearing a mask when we met. Judging from his appearance, he should be young, but he is very mature in words and deeds. He said that he did have some ready-made clothes in his hands, but not a lot. If we want it, He can order people to make it quickly, but the price cannot be lowered any further," the guard said.
The look in Wei Ying's eyes suddenly became serious: "Isn't he afraid that no one will want the cotton and he will lose money?"
The guard said without thinking: "That's what I said at the time, but the boss said quite confidently that this winter will be colder than in previous years. He is preparing to make these cottons into ready-made clothes and sell them to Beiliao. The climate nearby is not suitable for growing cotton, so he doesn’t have to worry about not being able to sell his goods.”
Wei Ying lowered his eyebrows, not knowing what he was thinking. He didn't speak, and the guards also fell silent.
After a long time, the guard finally couldn't help but break the peaceful atmosphere: "Sir, should we buy it or not?"
Wei Ying clenched his fingers and slammed his fist on the desk, and said in a cold voice: "Do we have any other choice? Take the silver and rush to Pingcheng as soon as possible. This matter must be settled as soon as possible."
The guard hesitated for a while and said: "But Master, this is not a small amount of money. Although the man sent one million taels, now the Wei family's shops have no money turnover. If this continues, the Wei family's The store will close down soon."
Wei Ying stood with his back to the window and said coldly: "Who said you were going to give him the money? Just wait until the goods are in hand and then snatch the money back."
His words shocked the guard and he blurted out: "Young Master means to wait until the goods are delivered before killing him."
The murderous intent in Wei Ying's eyes was undisguised: "You dare to take advantage of our Wei family when it is in trouble, and you also want to see if he will survive to enjoy this blessing?"
A smile appeared on the guard's face: "I know, I will rush back to Pingcheng overnight."
In Pingcheng City, there is an inconspicuous hut hidden in the city. It looks unremarkable at first glance, but this house is actually the residence of Pingcheng's famous boss Hengyuan Changyuan.
No wonder the guards spent many days in Pingcheng asking about the residence of the boss of Hengyuan Changyuan. Who would have thought that the richest man in Pingcheng would live in an ordinary house.
The night wind was silent and the sky was dark. Several figures entered the house quietly. The door was opened. A person came out and led a group of people through the front yard and walked inside along the deep path. The layout inside suddenly became apparent. Cheerful.
It turns out that this ordinary house has a special paradise inside, with pavilions, waterways and pavilions scattered in an orderly manner. The group of people entered the study. It was not until the morning light began to fade from the horizon that the study door was opened again.
A masked man slowly walked out of the study. He stood tall, and his movements were gentle. The mask covered his face, and his exposed eyes clearly showed a bit of shrewdness.
This person is Su Cheng, the second son of the Su family, the boss behind Hengyuanchang. He has been doing business with Su Wen all year round and has long been able to stand alone.
He had already received a letter from Su Ying. The secret guards around King Jin also came to Pingcheng last night. Today was the day he agreed to deliver the goods with the guards.
Su Cheng bought a piece of land on the outskirts of the city and built a garment workshop. The delivery place was there. He had heard of the Wei family's methods when he was doing business abroad, and he was originally worried that he would not be able to cope with it. Since there were people around him After seeing the secret guard, he felt a little relieved.
By the time the guards arrived at the garment shop, the goods had already been loaded onto the carriage, and they were just waiting to be handed over the silver coins before they could be delivered and taken away.
When Su Cheng saw the guard approaching, he hurriedly greeted him and said respectfully: "Boss Wei, this stuff is all ready for you!"
The guards carefully inspected the goods on the carriage and waved to the people behind them. Several guards carried a dozen large boxes up and opened them one by one. The white silver shone slightly in the sunlight.
Su Cheng's eyes under the mask had long been narrowed to a slit, and his eyes were shining. He cupped his hands and smiled and said: "Boss Wei is indeed an honest person. If there is still business in the future, please take care of Boss Wei."
The guard said disdainfully: "Your price is 30% higher than the world price. Even if I have business, I don't dare to cooperate with you again?"
Su Cheng showed a greedy smile like a businessman: "Look at what you said, although my price is expensive, you can also see this product. There is enough cotton inside, so the soldiers who keep it can have a warm winter. "
The guard snorted coldly, turned around and waved to the person behind him, who hurried forward and pulled the goods away.
Seeing the goods go away, Su Cheng's men loaded the silver coins into the carriage and prepared to leave.
The guard looked at Su Cheng coldly and said, "Boss Zhang, you are making a lot of money, but I don't even know your true face. I'm looking down on you."
Boss Zhang is Su Cheng's pseudonym. Su Cheng paused, turned around and said with a smile: "I suffered some injuries when I was a child, leaving scars on my face. I wore a mask because I was afraid of scaring people. Please forgive me, Boss Wei."
The guard smiled sinisterly: "What if I want to see it?"
Su Cheng smiled half-heartedly and said, "Boss Wei is a bit pushy."
The guard looked him up and down, his eyes as dark as an abyss that could not be seen to the end: "I am going to make things difficult for others today."
Su Cheng raised his eyes and looked at him in astonishment: "This is the boundary of Pingcheng. Do you want to commit the rooster-crowding-dog-robbery thing?"
"Haha!" Su Cheng said with a serious smile on his lips, and said in a cold voice: "I heard that the Wei family is accustomed to using power to force others, but I didn't expect that they would use the official tactics in business. It's a pity that you met today. It’s time for a tough fight, and I won’t accept your tricks.”
The sword in the guard's hand was already unsheathed, and a row of men in black suddenly appeared behind him. The sword in his hand glowed with a cold light under the refraction of the sun: "When you get underground, you will know how ridiculous what you said today is. "
The guard stretched out two fingers and waved to the people behind him. A row of men in black behind him raised knives and slashed at the people on the opposite side. Those men who were carrying silver suddenly put down the boxes in their hands and turned around from behind. Weapons were drawn from the carriage and they stepped forward to fight without fear.
