In Jiankang, in the courtyard of the deep house with the word "Wang's House" hanging on it, everything is revived and full of spring, but the servants coming and going have a trace of panic in their expressions.
In the spacious hall, the already dull atmosphere became even more depressing because the room was full of people.
At this time, everyone's faces were lifeless.
"So, the price of medicine has been reduced by another 30%..." Wang Hongbin's face was stiff, and he was holding the tea cup tightly in his hand. People standing close could even hear the sound of the tea cup cracking due to external force.
Everyone in the hall nodded dejectedly, as if they didn't even have the strength to speak.
"Damn it, don't think this will allow us to sell it at a low price." Wang Hongbin finally burst out in anger. He stood up, threw the teacup on the ground and roared, "Buy, buy again, we will buy all the cinnamon twigs in the medicine market." It’s…”
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall looked horrified.
"Second Master, we can't buy any more..." the two older men said with trembling hands, "We have invested too much capital and our turnover is no longer efficient..."
The capital turnover is not efficient, which is a taboo for merchants.
"What are you afraid of?" A man sitting next to Wang Hongbin also stood up, his chest heaving violently, with a sneer on his face, "They are lowering the price now. First, they just think that our family has a large amount of Guizhi hoarding, and they decide that we want They are anxious to sell, so they keep lowering the price, hoping to get a big bargain. Secondly, there is Guizhi in this medicine market, and they believe that even if we don't sell it, they can buy it from other places..."
After saying this, he laughed a few times, slapped the table and stood up, looking at everyone.
"So at this time, the less we can give in, we have to buy, buy in large quantities, tell them that our Baohetang is not in a hurry to sell, and also tell them that except for us, they can't buy Guizhi." The young man said coldly, "This is called a rare commodity."
There was a buzz of discussion in the hall. It was obvious that everyone understood this truth and all agreed upon it in a moment.
"But, our available money..." the older man asked hesitantly, "we don't have much anymore..."
"We have already borrowed money from those merchants and banks. Based on our many years of friendship with them and the reputation of our Baohe Hall, they will definitely..." the middle-aged man said with confidence. Everyone was relieved. Take a breath.
"Second uncle and third uncle..." Wang Jinyi suddenly rushed in, full of excitement, "Quick, quick, grandpa..."
This sentence made everyone in the hall change their expressions, and Wang Hongbin rushed out together with the middle-aged man.
The room with a strong medicinal smell was packed with people, lowering their heads and rubbing their hands, sighing from time to time.
The old doctor with gray hair and wearing official robe came out shakily, and everyone cheered and surrounded him.
"How's it going, sir?"
"Medical Officer Zhou, how is the old man doing?"
Inquiries sounded low and chaotic.
With a habitual smile, the old doctor nodded graciously and said, "I'm awake, I'm awake." But he didn't directly answer everyone's questions.
"Second Master Wang, Third Master Wang, the old lady lets you go in." He looked at Wang Hongbin and said.
Wang Hongbin and Wang Hongbin immediately rushed into the inner room.
Wang Zhangyi lay under the thick quilt, his face gloomy. In just a few days, this old man seemed to have his soul suddenly taken away.
Wang Hongbin and Wang Hongbin felt their throats were choked, and they knelt on the left and right in front of the bed.
"father…"
"uncle…"
The two called in a low voice.
Wang Zhang opened his eyes slowly and exhaled a breath of turbid air.
"How is it?" he asked in a hoarse voice.
Wang Hongbin forced a smile and said, "Second uncle, take good care of yourself. Don't worry, the business is not..."
"Can I still hide it now?" Wang Yiyi interrupted him, "I am sick, but I am not blind or deaf yet..."
"Dad..." the middle-aged man said with confidence, "Don't worry, this time it will be a little more difficult, but we can definitely get through it..."
"Sell." Wang Yiyi interrupted him and said briefly.
The middle-aged man's expression froze, "Dad, I'm trying to fight..."
"You are angry." Wang Yiyi said.
"To be angry is to live up to one's strength, and to be angry is to be able to live up to one's strength," the middle-aged man said with a blushing face.
"The only way to be angry is to be angry if you don't know how to live up to your expectations," Wang Zhangyi said simply.
After saying this, he coughed heavily.
Wang Hongbin and Wang Hongbin were shocked and did not dare to argue anymore. They took the tea from the maid's hand and fed the water to make things easier. After a while of busy work, Wang Yiyi finally calmed down.
"What are you going to do?" he asked slowly.
Wang Hongbin explained his previous plans one by one.
"Just this once, if they don't let go for another month, they won't be able to hold on any longer. Even if they lose half of the money, they will have to sell it..." Wang Zhangzhang said tremblingly, looking at the two people in front of him, "Baohe Hall is Our Wang family has accumulated over a hundred years, and people say that we can only be rich for three generations. If it really comes true, it won’t matter. If we keep our roots, there will always be time to grow..."
Wang Hongbin and Wang Hongbin nodded, looking ashamed and anxious.
While he was talking, a tall and lanky man rushed in, looking anxious and opening his mouth to speak.
When Wang Hongbin saw his face, his heart skipped a beat, and he immediately glanced at him.
The man understood and turned around and left.
"Stop." Wang Yiyi saw it and said.
The man turned around, lowered his head and called the old man.
"Tell me, what did they say? Did they charge a high interest rate?" Wang Zhangzhang asked slowly.
The man raised his head and glanced at Wang Hongbin.
"Tell me, what's the interest rate?" the middle-aged man asked through gritted teeth.
The visitor looked extremely ugly. He bit his lower lip and looked at the two of them and then at Wang Yiyi. He seemed to have difficulty speaking and his voice sounded like a mosquito.
"What?" Wang Hongbin asked, "Louder."
The man gritted his teeth, his heart pounded, and he knelt down and said, "They... don't even want to borrow..."
"How is that possible?" The middle-aged man's face suddenly changed and he asked in a voice.
"Have you been to Xinyihe?" He took a step forward and asked.
"I've gone, I've gone, Mr. Third, I've been there, but they haven't seen me. They say Mr. Nie is not at home..." the visitor said repeatedly.
The middle-aged man took a few steps back, his face full of disbelief.
"Impossible, impossible..." He murmured, "They, they have been with us for so many years, how could they ignore death at this time..."
"In the face of sufficient interests, nothing is impossible." Wang Zhangyi said with a long sigh. His eyes became cloudier and he glanced at the two people in front of him. Although Wang Hongbin still remained sitting, a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and The third master was already trembling slightly, and the two of them were obviously stunned by the sudden situation.
"It seems that those people are blocking our way out..." Wang Zhang sighed and fell over before he could finish his sentence.
After a moment of panic, the old doctor, who left and was invited back, turned away the others and shook his head at Wang Hongbin and Wang Hongbin.
Wang Hongbin and Wang Hongbin suddenly turned pale and sat down.
"He has a poor foundation to begin with. He has been holding on for all these years. The end has come..." the old doctor said in a low voice. He was used to seeing life and death, and there was no special emotion on his face.
"Old guy, I'm going to take the first step this time..." Wang Zhangzhang's voice came faintly from the bed, with a bit of a smile.
The old doctor chuckled, "It's your good fortune, old guy... to finally be able to rest. Just let go of these extraneous things, children and grandchildren."
"Father...son is unfilial..." The two of them knelt down at the same time, lying on the ground with their heads on their hands and choking.
Wang Zhangyi smiled weakly, and after ordering someone to send the old doctor out, he looked at the two people who were kneeling on the ground and cried muffledly, and slowly exhaled: "Stop, we can't fight this time, no matter what. We must keep the name Baohetang, even if there is only one name left..."
"Second uncle, second uncle... I have asked Madam Gu for help..." Wang Hongbin knelt over and took Wang Zhang's hand while choking.
"Why do you want Mrs. Gu's help?" Wang Zhangzhang asked suddenly.
"Qian" Wang Hongbin said, looking at Wang Yiyi with some expectation.
"Yes, dad, she is Liu Gong's apprentice. She inherited not only skills, but also Liu Gong's money. Liu Gong has been in the pharmaceutical industry for decades, and he doesn't even know how much money he has... And as long as she threatens to If we prepare Guizhi, everyone will rush to send it away, so the price of this Guizhi will definitely skyrocket..." Mr. Wang San also became excited.
Wang Yiyi smiled at himself and shook his head, "Hong Bin, if doctors don't cure people, they will die. Don't you understand? The inside of our Baohe Hall has been rotten for too long. If you move first, you may be able to save your body." If you keep getting angry, then..."
"Dad, as long as we survive this breath, as long as we stock up on another batch of cinnamon twigs, the situation can be reversed..." Mr. Wang San was already excited by what he just said, clenching his fists and saying.
Wang Yiyi looked at Wang Hongbin. Although Wang Hongbin said nothing, the expression on his face clearly meant the same thing.
"That's all, go ahead..." Wang Yiyi slowly closed his eyes and whispered, "I'm tired..."
Wang Hongbin and Wang Hongbin looked at each other, finally bowed their heads and said yes, then bowed their heads and retreated.
"The so-called ambition, firstly, we must have the conditions to compete, secondly, we must have the means to win, and thirdly, we must have the opportunity to win..." Xin Chaoyang sat in front of the table, with two beautiful maids beside him. Make and pour tea with elegant movements.
"This move of the Wang family is indeed as expected by the eldest young master. It violates the taboo of merchants not to act on their own initiative and not to fight out of anger." Opposite him sat two old men with smiles on their faces, picking up the teacup and tasting it gently.
Rapid footsteps sounded from outside the door, and Xin Chaoling rushed in with two older people.
"Let's take our leave now." The two old men stood up and said with smiles.
Xin Chaoyang stood up and looked at the two maids beside him with a smile. The maid understood the situation, put down the tea set in her hands, and stood obediently behind the two old men.
The two old men looked at each other, looked at Xin Chaoyang and said with a smile, "What do you mean, young master?"
"These two girls make good tea. I don't understand tea, so it would be a waste if I kept it. I heard that the two elders are well versed in this. I hope the two elders will accept the so-called sword as a gift to a hero." Xin Chaoyang said with a smile.
The second elder laughed loudly and cupped his hands to Xin Chaoyang, "Then thank you for your kindness, young master."
Xin Chaoyang returned the courtesy with a smile, and the two elders turned around and walked out, followed by two maids.
"This Young Master Xin..." One of the old men looked back at the small pavilion surrounded by green bamboos and nodded with some approval, "He knows what's interesting, what's interesting, what people know, and what's on his mind. He is indeed not a mediocre person."
Another old man nodded, twisted his beard and said: "It's time for the medicine shops in the capital to become fresher. Baohetang is getting old..."
Watching the two old men leave, Xin Chaolingcai said hurriedly: "Brother, it's not good, Mrs. Gu has returned to Beijing."
Xin Chaoyang said kindly and looked at him, "This is a good thing. Haven't you missed her for a long time?"
Xin smiled at Ling San and glared at the two young men beside him who were covering their mouths and having fun, "I just want to take care of Madam Gu's money. However, Madam Gu has quit the casino since that time. It's a pity..." .”
Xin Chaoyang smiled slightly, "There's nothing to be embarrassed about. You're not the only one thinking about her money..."
After saying that, without waiting for Xin Chaoling to say anything else, he reached out and picked up the dark green cloak on the side and strode out.
"Hey, brother, where are you going?" Xin Chao Ling asked hurriedly.
"I miss her too, let's meet her."
Throwing this sentence away, the letter flew away toward the sun.
Xin Chaoling looked strange and looked at the two young people beside him, "Is it true?"
"Fake." The two young men shrugged and said in unison, "Big brother never thinks about others."
"That's right. For me, it's too simple for me to think about what people have to think about..." Xin Chaoling also shrugged and patted the two of them on the shoulders, "Let's go, let's not be like him. We should think about returning the favor." I have to think, there is a new girl in Yihong Mansion, let me treat you..."
When she heard that Xin Chaoyang had arrived, Gu Shiba Niang, who was saying goodbye to Ling Bao, couldn't help but be stunned.
"Please." She stood up, straightened her clothes, and came out with a smile.
Xin Chaoyang stepped outside the door and looked at Gu Shiba Niang standing with a smile.
"Why, the eldest young master is here to treat me to gardenias?" she said with a smile.
Her figure had not changed, and she was still wearing the spring shirt from the old year, but Xin Chaoyang had a thought that this girl had changed.
As for what had changed, he couldn't tell. He couldn't help but scan her eyebrows carefully.
Sitting separately in the living room, Lingbao took the maid and poured some tea, then stepped back and stood behind Gu Shiba Niang.
After briefly greeting each other, Gu Shiba Niang took a sip of tea and said, "There is something I want to ask the young master."
"Please tell me." Xin Chaoyang replied.
"I don't know much about business. I heard that Baohe Tang had a fight with the Medicine Shed Club over the purchase and sale of cinnamon twigs. What happened?" Gu Shiba Niang looked at him and asked.
"You asked the right question." Xin Chaoyang smiled, "This is what we do in our lifetime."
Gu Shiba Niang looked slightly stunned.
"Isn't this strange?" Xin Chaoyang said with a smile while turning the teacup, "Business in the world is for profit, and there are so many benefits in total. If you make more, I will make less. As long as a businessman wants to make more money, there should be nothing surprising. Bar."
"No." Gu Shiba Niang smiled bitterly, "I'm not surprised by this, but I'm surprised that the young master told me so freely why."
Xin Chaoyang put down the teacup, looked at her plastic surgery and said, "If I want to say that I want Madam Gu to stay out of this matter, what do you think, Madam Gu?"
"My idea is that the young master guessed that." Gu Shiba Niang also replied slowly and solemnly.
"I can tell Mrs. Gu, this time even if you spend all your money, you still can't save Baohe Hall." Xin Chaoyang said calmly.
Gu Shiba Niang nodded, "I know. But there are some things that must be done, right?"
"Yes." Xin Chaoyang nodded, "So, I don't want Madam Gu to give up helping me..."
Gu Shiba Niang was stunned again, with a bit of confusion on her face.
"I just want to tell Mrs. Gu that I am a businessman who only knows how to do somersaults in the eyes of copper coins, so this time you do what you should do, and I don't blame you. I do what I should do, and you don't blame me." Xin. Chaoyang looked up at her and said slowly
