Chapter 455: lead the way
Chapter 455 Leading the way
Zongbang, in order to make other tribal chiefs firm up their will, invites them to dinner in Happy City every day.
Don’t say, the people of the Central Plains really know how to eat whole food.
Like what hot pot, barbecue, fish soup, beggar chicken, cakes taste very good, except for the cost of money, there are almost no shortcomings.
Zongbang invited guests, and everyone was stable for a few days.
However, he frequently invited these people to dinner, but the court did not move at all. Seeing the money being spent like flowing water, Zongbang gradually felt distressed.
If he can't sell the backlog of wool at a high price, he will lose a lot.
Even if Zongbang invites these people to stay in Happy City every day, it is impossible not to spend money.
Some tribal people don't know when the patriarch can sell the wool and how much it can sell for. Seeing that Xiaoyao City is recruiting workers, the monthly payment is high, and they even go to work as part-time laborers, but the court still has nothing. Anxious to buy wool.
The patriarchs of the tribes approached Zongbang again to discuss, "Otherwise, let's sell it at the price of the imperial court. There is no way to keep it going. It's going to be winter soon, and we have to hurry back to the tribe."
Zongbang's family has more cattle and sheep than them, and he is more anxious, but he still feels that he can't be easily manipulated by the imperial court, and he doesn't want to be so embarrassed, so he said to the other tribal patriarchs: "This year, they have seized our desire to sell, next year. The price will only be lower.”
"Then what to do, it's better not to sell it!" A Yu was a little angry.
She should not have been afraid of the threats of other tribes from the beginning, which caused the wool to be delayed for half a month and not sold.
Zongbang also thought about it for a long time these days, he said: "The court doesn't buy it, it doesn't mean other people won't buy it."
"When the weather gets colder, people will rush to buy clothes to keep out the cold. The merchants in the Central Plains are more cunning than us, and they will definitely be willing to hoard them and make huge profits. I will go to them, the big deal, and sell them to them at a slightly cheaper price. "
Zongbang's suggestion sounds good, but anyone with a bit of brains will know that the local businessmen in the southern border will not be able to offend the empress who controls the entire country for some profit.
Ayu didn't believe that Zongbang could let other people buy wool, and said directly: "They still want to eat in Xiaoyao City, so they won't buy our wool."
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of all the tribal elders changed.
Ayu said: "If you want to stay here, just stay. I'm going to sell the wool and go home."
She didn't save Zongbang any face, and went straight out of the door.
Zongbang shouted from behind: "You will regret it, I will definitely let them buy wool."
The other clan chiefs wanted to go with Ayu, thinking about what if Zongbang and other businessmen reached a deal, anyway, they have waited for so long.
Zongbang asked the hotel clerk about the wealthiest businessmen in Xiaoyao City. Xiao Er only knew that Yu Suisheng was the biggest boss in Xiaoyao City. Next, many rich people were the ones who came from Youjia Village with the Empress.
Yu Suisheng was not in Xiaoyao City, Zongbang thought of various ways, but he couldn't even see Yu Suisheng's steward.
went to visit the Thirty Families of Qinghe, euphemistically said that the master was not there, and simply stated that they would not accept wool.
Zongbang was stumped, and Ayu found Xu Yao, negotiated the price without the slightest stumbling, sold all the wool smoothly, bought the goods wantonly with silver, and prepared for the return journey.
When the chiefs of the tribes could not help but want to sell the wool, the imperial court published in the weekly political bulletin newspaper that the scientific research institute extracted a large amount of fiber from special raw materials. This fiber can replace cotton. After half a month, chemical fiber The fabric will be officially new in the fabric store.
The people were very curious about what special raw material it was extracted from, but Zongbang and the patriarchs were shocked.
No wonder, the people in the Central Plains are fearless, it turns out that they are not afraid of not having wool at all.
The raw materials that can replace cotton in this world, how could they be discovered so easily.
Zongbang was illiterate and could not read newspapers, but he felt that this must be fake news, and immediately shouted angrily at the man reading the news in the restaurant, "This is impossible, this must be a lie to you!"
As soon as these words came out, the other Central Plains people in the restaurant stood up, and Chao Zongbang retorted: "This is the news of the trip of the imperial court, and the empress's jade seal is stamped, so it must be true."
Zongbang couldn't believe that the dream of high-priced wool was shattered. "Then why not sell this fabric now, but make an announcement in advance."
Everyone sneered, "When the court wants to make an announcement, and what to sell fabrics, is it your turn to take care of it?"
"That's right, who do you think you are."
Zongbang wanted to beat someone, but he couldn't restrain his anger and flipped all the desks and chairs. The patrol soldiers rushed over and detained Zongbang and put him in jail.
The tribal patriarchs were completely panicked and quickly found Xu Yao to sell wool.
Xu Yao had long known that they would come, and instead of showing arrogance, he said kindly: "What do you think of this price?"
When everyone came, they were already prepared for the price to be lowered. Unexpectedly, Xu Yao still calculated them according to the previous wool price.
The tribal chiefs nodded excitedly, "If you want, if you want, we will sell them all."
Now they can sell the original price, they are very happy.
Zongbang was put in prison, no matter how much he shouted, no one paid him any attention.
It wasn't until Zong Ming got the news that he rushed over and helped Zongbang pay for the losses in the restaurant.
The other clan chiefs have already sold the wool. Zong Ming hurriedly said: "Brother, you also go to Master Xu to sell it. If you don't sell it, you will really be in your own hands."
Zongbang bought a lot of wool in order to make a fortune in Xiaoyao City. If he couldn't sell it, he would have to pull it back. The loss is immeasurable.
And if it goes on like this, when Xiaoyaocheng chemical fiber fabrics are officially sold, the people of the Central Plains will definitely be more fearless.
Zongbang looked sullenly and said with an embarrassed expression: "You go to sell, as long as it is the same price as before."
Zong Ming suddenly looked embarrassed and hesitantly said: "Master Xu knows that I sold it, if I go again, he will definitely know that it is yours, and he may not accept it from me, otherwise, brother, you should go and tell Master Xu. Sorry, we still have to sell wool in the future."
Zongbang said fiercely, "You sold it? You sold it too?"
Zong Ming didn't dare to speak angrily, Zong Bang suddenly came to his ear again, lowered his voice, and asked unexpectedly, "How much did you sell for?"
Zong Ming was stunned for a moment, then said slowly, "It's still the same price as before."
Zongbang couldn't believe it, "He didn't lower the price?"
Zong Ming shook his head and hurriedly said: "Master Xu is very talkative. The price for everyone is the same, which is still higher than last year. Brother, you can go quickly."
Zong Ming pretended to be reluctant, "If it wasn't for the family still waiting, I would definitely not sell it to these Central Plains people, lead the way!"
