It’s over, it’s all over!
?
Qin Guangjin was originally sitting in the backyard of Xiuyunfang, sipping good tea, flipping through the account book, and feeling complacent about the increasing number of orders.
?
The shopkeeper Chen, whom he specially hired at a high salary, rushed in with a furious look on his face.
?
"Old Chen, are you not busy in front? Come and have a cup of tea with me."
?
Shopkeeper Chen is Qin Guangjin's fellow villager. The two of them have often played mischief together since they were young, and they have even robbed women's restrooms together.
?
Qin Guangjin abducted Qin Wan and fled to Yangzhou, where they lost contact. Later, when they met by chance in Yangzhou, Qin Guangjin learned that Chen was sent to Yangzhou by his family as an apprentice.
?
After Qin Guangjin coaxed Xie Xiangyu into handing over the silver shop to him for management, he specially found Manager Chen to come and help him.
?
At that time, Manager Chen had already become the second manager of his old employer. He was very skilled in falsifying accounts and hiding money. With him by his side, Qin Guangjin was even more powerful.
?
Otherwise, even if Qin Guangjin wanted to deceive Xie Xiangyu, he wouldn't have the ability to do so.
?
After Qin Guangjin was kicked out of the Xie family, Chen the shopkeeper was also kicked out by Xie Liuzheng. With a reputation for fraud, Yimu couldn't find a new employer. Fortunately, he had made a lot of money in the silver shop before, so he lived a good life at home temporarily.
?
This time, Qin Guangjin suddenly found Manager Chen for help, and Manager Chen came without saying a word.
?
Xiuyunfang's business was booming and it was flooded with orders. Shopkeeper Chen was naturally happy to get a share of the profits.
?
but!
?
"Boss, something bad has happened."
?
Shopkeeper Chen sat down opposite Qin Guangjin and drank the cup of tea he had just poured in one gulp.
?
Qin Guangjin frowned secretly. Although the two had known each other since childhood, now one was the boss and the other was the shopkeeper. The rules and status still had to be observed. This old guy really didn't consider himself an outsider.
?
However, Manager Chen is still useful for the time being. Qin Guangjin was unhappy but did not show it on the surface.
?
"Business was so good, why is it not good anymore?"
?
"It's because business is good that it's not good." Shopkeeper Chen's face was more bitter than bitter gourd.
?
"Boss, have you heard that the Xie family's embroidery workshop has rushed to produce 3,000 sets of children's clothes, with dozens of styles?"
?
Qin Guangjin nodded impatiently, "Just say what you want to say. No matter how many styles of children's clothing there are, how much business can they take away from us?"
?
"It's not robbery." Shopkeeper Chen sighed and finally got to the point.
?
"The Xie family didn't intend to use these 3,000 sets of children's clothing to steal our business. Instead, they pushed the business to Xiuyun Textile."
?
It turned out that Xie Liuzheng had asked the embroidery workshop to rush out 3,000 sets of children's clothing, all with different styles, colors, and patterns. For example, the same red jacket, this one has black ragged edges, and that one has royal blue ragged edges. This one has a butterfly button, and that one has a five-blessing button. In short, there are no duplicates.
?
But this is not the point. No matter how many styles there are, few families are willing to spend a lot of money to buy clothes for their children.
?
The key point is that Xie Liuzheng said that these children's clothes are just for people to see the styles. If you like them, just bring the materials. Xie's Embroidery Workshop will only charge a very low labor fee to help make them.
?
It is human nature to be greedy for bargains. The materials from Xiuyunfang are nearly half the market price. With a little extra labor cost, you can wear clothes made by Xiejia Embroidery Workshop.
?
"Boss, half of the people in the city have come here to buy fabrics. Even though each family only buys one or two sets, there are so many people. We have already placed orders for more than 100,000 pieces of various fabrics."
?
When Qin Guangjin heard this number, he was stunned.
?
In order to compete with the Xie family for business, Xiuyunfang priced its materials 10% lower than the purchase price.
?
I originally thought that I could snatch those big customers from the Xie family, and then slowly launch other money-making materials. The lost money would be made up one day.
?
This idea is not wrong in itself. It is a common tactic used by businesses to open a new store at a loss to gain publicity.
?
The mistake was that Qin Guangjin underestimated Xie Xiangyu's reaction speed. He was not trying to compete with him in terms of material, but directly made him lose all his money.
?
Hundreds of thousands of pieces of material, a direct loss of 200,000 or 300,000 silver coins, plus labor costs, travel expenses...
?
Qin Guangjin's head was buzzing and he wished he could faint immediately.
?
But what Shopkeeper Chen said next made him afraid to even faint.
?
"Boss, the two silk factories we placed orders with just sent someone to say that they can't handle such a large order, so we should find another place to place the order."
?
Qin Guangjin was so anxious that his eyes turned red.
?
In order to show off his financial strength, he had someone make a sign that read "Three times the compensation if the order is not delivered on time", and it is still hanging at the door of the shop!
?
Seeing Qin Guangjin's face sulking and silent, Shopkeeper Chen urged him anxiously, "Boss, how about we go to a store in the same industry to buy some goods?"
?
Restock?
?
It's not impossible.
?
No one is sitting on a mountain of gold and silver, so it is useless to keep a large amount of goods in hand. The material will become obsolete sooner or later, and if the goods cannot be sold, it is like throwing money down the drain.
?
When there is an emergency, colleagues will help each other and release some goods to meet the emergency needs. This is a common way for businesses to work together to reduce losses.
?
But Qin Guangjin's situation is different.
?
Firstly, although he was a son-in-law, he kept a mistress outside without telling Xie Xiangyu, and even had a son with her. Everyone knew that he was kicked out of the Xie family by Xie Xiangyu.
?
Who would want to associate with people of bad character?
?
The most important thing is that Qin Guangjin thought he had a powerful backer, and he had been aggressively trying to seize the market since the opening of Xiuyunfang, as if he didn't take anyone seriously.
?
Now that something has gone wrong, it would be kind of our colleagues not to take advantage of the situation, but we still expect someone to help us? You’re just dreaming.
?
No one to help you, you have to figure it out on your own.
?
Qin Guangjin gritted his teeth and ordered Manager Chen, "Find a few unfamiliar people to pretend to be merchants from other places and buy up all the materials that can be purchased for emergency use."
?
Shopkeeper Chen lowered his head and sighed, then turned around and did what he was told.
?
The only thing we can do now is to spend money to avoid disaster and buy materials from our competitors. This is better than paying three times the compensation for failing to complete the order.
?
After asking around at each household, they learned that the material Xiuyunfang needed had been bought out by the Xie family ten days ago.
?
When the man went to Xie's silk shop again to ask, he found out that the price had doubled!
?
The man didn't dare to make a decision, so he had to come back and ask Manager Chen for instructions.
?
Shopkeeper Chen went to the backyard to discuss with Qin Guangjin.
?
When Qin Guangjin heard that the Xie family had bought all the materials, he was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood.
?
He gnashed his teeth and cursed Xie Xiangyu, "Bitch! Vicious woman! You must have known that Xiuyun Tomb is my capital and deliberately set a trap to trick me!"
?
Shopkeeper Chen wiped his face and said, "It's useless to say this right now. Please make a decision as soon as possible whether to purchase this batch of goods from the Xie family."
?
No matter how much people curse and hate, after all, purchasing goods from the Xie family will result in the least emergency loss.
?
Qin Guangjin closed his eyes and said, "Come in, as many as you can!"
?
Only half of the deposit is collected for the order, but when purchasing the goods, you have to pay the money and receive the goods at the same time.
?
Qin Guangjin gave all the money given by that person and some of the payment for goods collected a few days ago to the Xie family, which was barely enough to cover the payment for the goods.
?
The material was transported back to Xiuyunfang. Qin Guangjin looked at the red mark on the account book, and two words kept circling in his mind, "It's over!"
