A scholar of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

Changsun Wuji took two bowls of tea and talked while doing it, and poured two bowls of water into a bowl of water, "Now Gu Qing's workshop is like a bowl full of water, as long as the water is still being added and no one is going to drink it, Sooner or later it will overflow."

"What does Zhao Guogong mean?" Someone heard the meaning behind the words.

"Is it difficult to make a bicycle?" Changsun Wuji asked again.

"It's not difficult to make, and the materials are cheap, and some craftsmen can do it." A shopkeeper said.

"We also make bicycles, and the price is [-]% lower than Gu Qing's bicycles." Changsun Wuji said.

Those who have been shopkeepers for most of their lives are not confused. The business pays attention to supply and demand. Gu Qing opened his mouth and filled his workshop to the brim. If the bicycles cannot be sold, Gu Qing can only support the workers all the time. Energy is consumed, like that bowl of water can only overflow.

Changsun Wuji went on to say, "No matter what method is used, thousands of bicycles will be produced within half a month, and they will spend a lot of money to poach all Gu Qing's so-called order customers, and try their best to prevent Gu Qing's bicycles from being sold."

"Spending a lot of money, isn't it a loss and a profit?" said a shopkeeper.

Some people also thought that Changsun Wuji was trying his best to knock down Gu Qing's workshop at any cost. Once the opening of one hundred Wen a month was opened, the income of these shopkeepers would not only shrink, but also affect the The income of the eldest grandson's family, these transactions are all part of the eldest grandson's family.

Zhao Guogong's mansion was discussing the regulations for this matter, and a stranger walked into the Changsun's mansion.

The person who came was a young man in his twenties, he waved his sleeves and said, "Fan Yang, Lu Shi, Lu Xiao has met Zhao Guogong."

"I've been waiting for you for a long time." Changsun Wuji said, "You take him to do things."

"I understand." Lu Xiao nodded.

……

While Gu Qing was telling a story to a group of children in the village, Di Renjie came quickly and told Gu Qing about the behavior of the eldest grandson Wuji. There are already several households who would rather break the contract and not have bicycles and deposits, but also start business with the eldest grandson’s family. Changsun Wuji is the Duke of the state, such a name is enough to crush ordinary people to death.

"Zhao Guogong wants to cut off my bicycle business, so he started his own bicycle. This skill is amazing." Gu Qing took two steps to look at Di Renjie, "What do you think of his skill?"

"Students, I feel that Changsun Wuji's move is a mess." Di Renjie said with a smile, "Perhaps this blow is fatal to others, but to the teacher's factory, Changsun Wuji's move seems to hit the vital point, but It’s just a bad idea.”

"Since Changsun Wuji, you don't want me to have a good time, then none of us should think about it! You play tricks, and I will play tricks!" Gu Qing said, "Di Renjie, pass on the word that the factory's bicycle manufacturing technology will flow out to me. I want bicycles to bloom everywhere in Chang'an."

Gu Qing said with a satisfied smile, "It's another deposit for nothing, our Duke Zhao is too polite."

Di Renjie: "..."

Chapter 181 Another Threat

"It's Zhao Guogong who strikes first every time. It doesn't make sense for us to be beaten all the time." Gu Qing looked at the bustling factory and said, "It's time to pay back."

Seeing Gu Qing's smile, Di Renjie knew that Changsun Wuji was going to be in trouble.

……

Changsun’s family has been too busy to make all the bicycles yet. Something happened in Chang’an that made Changsun Wuji feel a toothache. Now there are all kinds of bicycles everywhere in Chang’an, and the bicycle manufacturing technology has spread all over Chang’an. Half sell, half free, buy one get one free, and sent workers to teach some ordinary carpenters how to make bicycles. The bicycles were worthless, and the grandson's family lost blood.

After spending a lot of money to cut off Gu Qing's business, bicycles have become popular in Chang'an in a blink of an eye, and blossom everywhere!

"What happened to Gu Qing?" Changsun Wuji asked Lu Xiao beside him.

"Nothing happened." Lu Xiao replied.

"Does this Gu Qing want to burn jade and stone together?" Changsun Wuji said bitingly.

"Patriarch!" A servant of the eldest grandson's family came to report, "Gu Qing's workshop has proposed a pension system. As long as workers under the age of 30 have worked in the workshop for more than 20 years, after the age of 50, they can receive fifty cash per month. .”

Changsun Wuji thought about countermeasures.

"Patriarch!" Another servant came to report, "Gu Qing's workshop has established a hierarchy system! As long as workers with good craftsmanship can be promoted to team leaders, they can get extra money."

"Patriarch!" The third servant came to report, "Gu Qing's workshop has already started to make ink, cloth and silk, candles, as long as there is one in Chang'an, Gu Qing's workshop can make it."

"What the hell is this kid trying to do!" Changsun Wuji yelled at the desk, Gu Qing counted four sets of punches in a row and knocked people dizzy.

"Patriarch!" The servant came to report again, "Gu Qing invited all the wealthy merchants from all walks of life in Chang'an to his factory! He said it was to discuss business!"

Changsun Wuji sat down disappointed.

"Home!" The servant hurried over.

"What's the matter!" Changsun Wuji slapped the table angrily.

"The Prime Minister is here." The servant said aggrievedly.

"Stand back, invite people in!" Changsun Wuji calmed down his emotions.

The sky was drizzling, and in a relatively quiet pavilion in the village, sitting in front of Gu Qing was a group of rich merchants invited from Chang'an, carefully brewing tea for them, "This is the new tea of ​​this year, please try it."

A few wealthy businessmen who had been in Chang'an for many years didn't know what to say, and in front of them was this young man named Hou Ye who was well-known in Chang'an.

"You are welcome." Gu Qing said with a smile.

"Master Gu, please speak up if you have something to say." Several wealthy businessmen looked at each other in blank dismay.

"I want to do business with you guys." Gu Qing said, "Right now my workshop has a batch of goods to sell, and there will be all kinds of things in the future."

"Gu Houye means that you want us to sell the goods?" Several wealthy merchants who had worked in the mall for half their life understood the meaning.

"It can be said to be such a meaning." Gu Qing nodded and said.

"It's just that we have a fixed business, so it might not be appropriate to impose one." A wealthy businessman said.

"Really?" Gu Qing looked at him and said, "Your name is Xu Yuan, right? You are in the pen and ink business, and you have three sons in your family. You gave the prefect of Yuzhou [-] guan in silver to find a boss for your eldest son." Does Bo’s position have such a thing? If this matter is found out by those censors, I don’t know what these people who have nothing to do all day long will do.”

"..."

Gu Qing looked at the other, "Your name is Chen Li, and your family is in the silk business. Three years ago, in order to acquire a piece of land for a workshop, you gave a county magistrate from Xiaohe County a house and took it without any effort. I bought the land of several farmers!"

"And you!" Gu Qing pointed to another person, "Your name is Lin Shujiang, you are in the rice grain business, five years ago you bribed the border officials and quietly sold tens of thousands of shi rice grains to Tubo, earning a lot of money money!"

"..."

Several wealthy businessmen looked gloomy.

"and also……"

"You don't need to talk about the county magistrate!" Someone interrupted Gu Qing, "We are willing to cooperate with the county magistrate! Let's do business together."

"That's right!" Gu Qing raised his cup and drank the tea in one gulp, "Let's make money together, and I will be your supplier from now on, let's make a fortune together."

Sending away these wealthy merchants, Gu Qing knew that most of these people had connections with those state officials in the court, especially with Changsun Wuji. His channel, I don't believe that this eldest grandson Wuji can still jump up, sometimes threats are more useful than sincerity.

"Teacher, someone wants to buy a hot water bottle in the village." Di Renjie came.

"How many people want it?"
