- When returning.
Tang Youde finally couldn't help it and asked anxiously: "If the young master guesses wrong and the price of silk does not fall, even if it remains at the current price, we will have to pay more than 20,000 taels of silver."
There is one more thing he didn¡¯t dare to say. Except for Zhao Hao, everyone is now bullish to five taels or even six taels!
??According to what Zhao Hao said, there is not a pound of silk left. If they still buy it now, the price of silk does not need to rise to six taels. Five taels will make them bankrupt.
"Old Tang, let me ask you?" Zhao Hao did not tease Tang Youde this time, but pointed to the unseen raw silk warehouse at the dock in the distance and said word by word:
"The silk here, and the silk in the whole Jiangnan area, has risen to five taels of silver. How much is it worth?"
"There is always one hundred million taels." Tang Youde was actually not sure and could only make a blind estimate.
"Can the merchants of the Ming Dynasty come up with 100 million taels of silver?" Zhao Hao asked again.
"It will definitely not be available. But aren't there Japanese and Westerners?" Tang Youde said: "If it hadn't been for the opening of the sea, the price of raw silk would not have increased."
¡°What if after the sea is opened, we can only sell hundreds of thousands of kilograms overseas a year?¡± Zhao Hao asked him the last sentence quietly.
"The price will definitely be avalanche." Tang Youde shuddered and said: "I heard from those silk merchants that they estimate that the silk ribbons can be sold overseas at least five million jins a year."
"Go ahead and dream." Zhao Hao chuckled and said, "Don't underestimate the greed of some people. Let me tell you, when Shuangyu in Fujian was still there, merchants from Fujian and Guangdong sold raw silk from Jiangnan to Malacca. You can make three times the profit! Later, Zhu Wan destroyed Shuangyu, and Wang Zhi rebuilt the smuggling trade port in Zhoushan. During his monopoly on maritime trade, he could buy raw silk from Jiangnan to Malacca and make five times the profit."
After a pause, he said sarcastically: "After Wang Zhi's death, Zhoushan Ligang was destroyed, and the sea ban was tightened. No pieces of silk can be put into the sea. But some people can still transport raw silk to Malacca and make a profit." To ten times the profit!¡±
"Ah, so many?!" Tang Youde was stunned, and after a while he murmured: "Didn't you say that you can't go out to sea if the navy is blocking you?"
"You are blocking other people's boats, not those people's boats." Zhao Hao sneered and said: "Let everyone get rich together, how can you enjoy the pleasure of eating alone?"
"Who are they?" Tang Youde was horrified. What kind of force could actually make the imperial navy work for him?
"They are the people who are blocking the sea ban." After Zhao Hao finished speaking, he looked at Tang Youde and said, "Do you understand now?"
"Ah" Tang Youde sat slumped in the carriage, still not understanding what Zhao Hao meant?
The reason why those people refused to open the sea ban was because they wanted to eat alone. Now that we are forced to open our mouths due to the situation, the price of silk will immediately skyrocket! However, the money that has gone up now is the profits of those original people!
How can those guys who are used to enjoying huge profits agree to this?
How could they try their best to re-tie the hole?
Although the opening of the sea is a foregone conclusion, I am afraid that as the young master said, the opening will only be small
By then, silk prices will naturally collapse
Fortunately, I have a young master to lead the way for me. Otherwise, if I jumped into it rashly, I would have been shattered into pieces.
When Tang Youde came to his senses, he found that his back was soaked with sweat. He was just about to sincerely praise the young master for a few words, but he saw Zhao Hao sitting silently in front of the window. Instead of being happy at all, his brows were lightly frowned, as if there was deep worry buried in his heart.
Tang Youde couldn't understand. As the big winner of this fight, what else could the young master be unhappy about?
??~~
Fortunately, when he returned to Caijiaxiang, Zhao Hao had regained his composure.
He was busy outside these two days, and the two students went back to study. Only Gao Wu and Qiao Qiao were in the courtyard, and it was rare for it to become quiet.
It¡¯s a pity that today is destined to be uneventful.
He had just separated from Fatty Tang, and before he had even washed his face when he entered the house, he saw Old Man Gao, who was helping in front, running over in a panic.
"Old man, what's wrong?" Zhao Hao couldn't help but feel his heart sink. He had been with Blacksmith Gao for half a year, but he had never seen the old man panicked before.
"Sir, what's wrong, someone is making trouble in Wei Ji Xian!" Gao Tiejian reported with a worried look.
"Huh?" Zhao Hao frowned and said coldly: "What does Li Jiutian do for food?"
After getting Zhao Jin¡¯s understanding, Agent Li has successfully transferred back to the Caijiaxiang area. After returning this time, he had an extremely upright attitude and proactively protected Weijixian.
Every day before and after opening the store, Li JiuThey would personally bring people over to maintain order, and also arranged for two white servants to guard the door of the store every day to prevent any blind hooligans from causing trouble.
This is not all to flatter the Zhao brothers, but also because those who come to eat at the delicious food are either rich or noble, and even the coachman who harasses them will cause trouble for the county. How could Li Jiutian not be cautious?
Therefore, during this period of time, Weijixian has been calm, and even the security of Caijia Lane has improved.
"Master Li is in the store, but he can't handle it." Old Man Gao calmed down and quickly explained to Zhao Hao: "The person who came was a domestic slave from Duke Wei's mansion. When he entered the door, he grabbed the shopkeeper Fang and asked him to pay the debt. Come on!"
"Your mother borrowed money from the Xu family?" Zhao Hao looked at Qiaoqiao in surprise.
"I borrowed it from someone who loaned us money. I never knew it had anything to do with the Xu family." Qiaoqiao shook her head, her rosy complexion gradually turning pale.
"The Xu family is known as 'Half Jinling', and I don't know how many people are lending money to them to earn interest." Old Man Gao hurriedly answered for Qiaoqiao: "It's not surprising that the money was borrowed from the Xu family. Even if they didn't borrow it from the Xu family in the first place. Money, as long as people get the IOU, they can still be the Fang family's creditors."
After a pause, he sighed hastily: "What's more, debt collection is just a guise. They just like us because they are very interesting"
Old man Gao looked frustrated, obviously frightened by the name of Duke Wei.
Gao Wu and Qiao Qiao were also shocked, and the latter even burst into tears and sobbed: "It was the Xu family who robbed our store last time. We just got over it now, why are you here again?" .¡±
Zhao Hao looked calm. From the moment he decided to open a store, he knew that this day would come sooner or later.
"It is said that a dog eats shit after traveling a thousand miles, but the powerful people in the world will never change this behavior.
He took out the handkerchief, handed it into Qiaoqiao's hand and said, "It doesn't matter, I'll settle the matter and come back to play shuttlecock with you."
After saying that, he went straight out of the courtyard gate.
The father and son of the Gao family hurriedly followed.
Looking at Zhao Hao's back, Qiaoqiao's heart suddenly calmed down.
This time, it is indeed different from last time
She clutched the veil in her hand tightly, as if this veil could bring endless confidence.
??~~
By the time Zhao Hao arrived at the door of the restaurant, the diners who had arrived early were already standing outside the door, talking a lot.
"Mr. Zhao, are you in trouble?" The speaker was wearing a black robe and was Wu Kangyuan, Wu Kangyuan's number one fan. He actually rented a house in Caijiaxiang, where he could study and eat every day.
"A little situation." Zhao Hao is already very familiar with him, and Wu Kangyuan is one of the few people who knows that he is the boss of Weijixian.
"I don't think so." Wu Kangyuan pointed to the rich slave in brocade clothing who was blocking the door of the store, preventing customers from entering, and whispered: "The slave in brocade clothing from Duke Wei's mansion."
"It's just a bunch of clowns." Zhao Hao smiled slightly, cupped his hands with the impatient people in front of him and said, "Please wait a moment, the store will officially open soon."
However, those wealthy slaves in brocade clothes sneered, looked at Zhao Hao with their nostrils and said, "If we don't pay back the money today, we won't be able to open our business!"
"Get out of the way." Zhao Hao raised his eyebrows, and Gao Wu pushed the Hao Nu who was blocking the way to both sides.
Zhao Hao walked into the lobby with a cold face and saw a middle-aged man dressed as a manager, sitting behind a square table with his legs crossed. Several noble slaves with bare chests and hair to protect their hearts stood behind him with their hands on their swords.
Wu Yu and two other strong men hired to look after the store stood behind Fang De and Yu Jiachang, glaring at the visitors from the Xu family with burning eyes.
Fang De pointed to a box full of silver on the table and said with an ugly face: "Please take these one thousand taels, don't delay our opening."
The money actually belongs to the store, but in order not to affect Wei Ji Xian¡¯s business, we can only borrow it in advance for emergencies and then tell the owner later.
The steward looked at the white money and said that the delicious food was really well-deserved. He could spend so much money from the account casually.
But the more excited he was, the more disdainful he looked. He leaned back on the chair, crossed his arms and said, "Why is Boss Fang sending beggars away? Just a thousand taels for a debt?"
"I'm just the shopkeeper of Jiuxian. The owner of our shop is someone else." Fang De suppressed his anger and said: "Furthermore, I owe a total of one thousand taels. According to the rule of nine out and thirteen return, by this month, I will be together with my boss." The profit is one thousand eight hundred taels. I have already repaid eight hundred taels before, now I give another one thousand taels, why can¡¯t I settle the account?"
"That's someone else's algorithm, not our government's algorithm." The person in charge said with a arrogant expression: "You want a debt? Now give me 20,000 taels. Otherwise, we will give it to us. "
"Twenty thousand taels, why don't you go and grab it?!" Yu Jiachang heard this and became furious.
"So what if it's an open robbery? In Nanjing City, our government is the rule." The man in charge said condescendingly and confidently: "There are two ways, choose."
"No, there is another way." But a young voice sounded at the door.
