Quite a few people came to the meeting this time. One is because Wei Ming has indeed made a name in Lianghuai during this period of time. He has simply become a dragon-slaying warrior fighting against the villains. It is indeed impressive that the grain merchants on both sides of the Huaihe River can be contended with one's own strength. Of course, there is a lot of credit here to be counted on the government, but this still cannot drown Wei Ming's brilliance. Furthermore, cloth merchants are indeed miserable by grain merchants. The big guys are holding back a bit of energy and want to find those grain merchants to settle their accounts. Rising food prices have reduced the consumption power of the entire market. People invest in the grain market with meager salaries, and other markets are of course sluggish. The fabric market is no exception. Although the proportion of exports is not small, after all, the entire export is now under the control of the government, and private exports of goods are strictly controlled. As a result, cloth merchants do not have much profit at all. All the profits are occupied by grain merchants, and of course they are upset. You sell food and become your food merchant. This big guy doesn't care about it and agrees with it. But if your food market is taking over other markets, then yours is wrong.
"Everyone, please be quiet, be quiet!" Fatty Wang shouted loudly while standing on the high platform that had already been set up. After shouting for a while, the voices of the people below were suppressed. Looking at it from above, there is a clear distinction between the various small groups. The indicators of such division of forces are generally regional. For example, a small group is formed between a region, and then they unite and fight against businessmen from other regions, seize market share, and make their own small group bigger and stronger. For example, the Hui merchants and Shanxi merchants in history are also the same. Few go out one by one. In that case, when you go to other places, it is easy to be suppressed by groups in other regions or even drive out of the market directly. If the competitiveness is too low, it will naturally not survive.
"This time we are calling everyone here, mainly because we want to discuss the issue of controlling food prices. The food prices in the entire Lianghuai River are basically stable. The big credit here is due to my brother Wei. This is not the case. Wang Po sold melons and boasted. To be fair, if you don’t have my brother Wei, the food price in Lianghuai could still be at this price? I don’t know how far it has risen. Everyone says it’s not right!" Fatty Wang called, the response below It's intense. Everyone agrees with this. And since it's here, it's here to join in. It is still unclear whether there is any smasher. At least so far, everything is moving towards the good side.
Fatty Wang pressured his hands and suppressed the applause. Then he continued: "Take me as an example. I used to be a wine merchant..." Fatty Wang said for a long time, then he said about his previous bumps. Experience, and then I talked about how I was after Wei Ming and how much money I made in such a short period of time. In fact, it was to give the cloth dealers below a shot of stimulus and keep it in their hearts. Next, follow the concept that Wei Ming should not suffer. But none of the people sitting here are mediocre. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been standing in the mall for so many years. I listened to it, but as for what I thought in my heart, I don't know.
"We have our protagonist below, and Wei Ming will come on stage to speak to everyone!" Fatty Wang finally finished his long talk. Wei Ming thought about the lines he had thought of long ago, and silently memorized it twice. When I was in school before, I turned into a scumbag after I went to high school. Basically, there is no chance to speak on stage. When I came to the Ming Dynasty, I said it twice in public, but I was still a little nervous. I ran into a big fish like Liang Dingxian when I was speaking last time. I wonder if I will run into a big fish again this time? Wei Ming thought this way in his heart, stepped onto the stage, and happened to see Zhu Youxiao coming in from outside the door. Zhu Youxiao smiled slightly at him. Zhu Youxiao, dressed as a gentry, was accompanied by two bodyguards, who really looked like an ordinary family prince. But it seems a bit out of place here. However, not many people care about these details.
Nodded to Zhu Youxiao, cleared his throat, picked up the homemade paper tube rolled up with paper, and said: "Hello everyone, today, I am honored to be able to invite you all to come here to participate in the next event. In the second meeting. I originally thought that we were businessmen only for profit. Where there is profit, we should go there for profit. Isn’t I wrong? Businessmen, at least we are individuals. When pursuing interests, It is also necessary to maintain sufficient humanity. But during this trip to Suzhou, I have truly felt what is called annihilation of humanity from the big grain merchants in Suzhou. People rely on food as the sky, and without food, there is no survival. The basis for continuing. But what about them? They have a huge amount of food, but they are hoarding the goods, and the price is rising. Now the natural disasters continue, the whole country is exhausted, and there are foreign invasions. The government can’t turn around, and the mobilization is not effective. And However, they ignore these and ignore the safety of the people in the world. Can such people be considered as individuals?" Wei Ming bang bang bang for a long time, in fact, the purpose is very simple, it is to carry themselves to one. On the commanding heights of morality. After achieving this goal, the next words are easier to say.
"Yes, yes, that's how it is," there are many people responding below. Everyone thinks that food merchants are not a good thing. They have robbed their own business and have to spend a lot of money to buy their food, which is unbearable! No matter what the reason is, as long as it is a good thing to scold those things, the big guys will support it!
"And at this time, I came to Suzhou, and the food I brought was not much, but it was enough to solve the urgent needs. The officials found me and told me their difficulties. I was not happy at that time. Is it possible to make money? Is money more important than human life? The answer is definitely no! There is nowhere in the world that is more important than human life! Human life is a matter of life! After some instructions from the government, I started selling food at low prices. Those food merchants couldn’t help it. Under the circumstances, they can only sell food at low prices. Until this time, I thought they found out that they wanted to save the people from fire and water! But just a few days ago, when I was out of the city, I was killed. They were assassinated. The killers also stated that they were sent by the nasty grain merchants. The purpose was to kill me, and then no one would stop them from making money. The big guy talked about this kind of snake-hearted people, how? Can they survive in this market? They exist one day, they have to exploit us one day, they have to cheat us one day. In their eyes, there are only benefits and nothing else. I want to ask everyone, how can we endure Is it? How long shall we bear?"
"Unbearable, unbearable!" Fatty Wang was the first to take the lead in responding. Others immediately joined the army. The condemnation of Lianghuai grain merchants was all in the meeting. Wei Ming became the only good grain merchant in the entire Lianghuai area. This status instantly promoted the boss, giving Wei Ming a feeling of airiness.
"It is said that shopping malls are like battlefields. The competition in the shopping malls is fierce, but there must be a limit! And these hateful grain merchants, they have obviously reached our limit! We can no longer tolerate abuses. Here, I, Wei Ming, vowed that I will never compromise with those hateful grain merchants and must fight them to the end!" Wei Ming raised his arms, and everyone's enthusiasm was mobilized by him. Especially Zhu Youxiao, who is excited behind, can't do it. Tears filled my eyes almost to be said.
"I know that everyone in the Lianghuai area is also a face and face. After you go back, you must use your influence to spread the spirit of today's meeting, so that the people will open their eyes and take a good look. Who is pitting them! Who on earth is not letting them live. Who is it, watching them live in the heat of water and turning a blind eye!" Wei Ming became more excited as he said, and his voice became louder and louder, even himself I was almost convinced by myself that I was a saint and distributed all the food to the people. At this time, not only the applause in the conference hall, but also the people who heard Wei Ming's speech outside were excited, and even knelt on the ground and kowtow to Wei Ming. Wei Ming’s reputation will also be spread more quickly with this meeting.
Famous for thousands of miles.
