Time Traveling Routine Movie King

"Brother Shen, please advise me." Huang Ji'an asked respectfully.

Shen Bai nodded: "The price of grain in Bianjing is about half of the national grain price, and half of the grain merchants have backgrounds, or to put it bluntly, the grain of many officials' fields is sold by their own firms, or they are related A consignment company. In terms of scale, none of these people can compare with the Huang family, at least a drop in the bucket. But if they are added up, the scale exceeds the Huang family, occupying one-third of the world in Bianjing!"

"That's right, that's right." Huang Ji'an nodded.

"Why don't they lower the price? Are they still stockpiling grain and waiting to see? Isn't it because the Huang family is the biggest one individually? And what's wrong with the Huang family? It's nothing more than a merchant's status and it's a little low." Shen Bai's words were straightforward. White and simple, straight to the point of the Huang family's sore point "merchant background".

"The four major salt merchants in the world, the He family has turned their backs, and the reputation of the merchants has become cast aside by the people of the country. Once the food price continues to rise and become the target of public criticism, the Huang family in Bianjing will bear the brunt of becoming the fat duck of the imperial court, killing chickens for monkeys to see. .”

In a few words, Shen Bai showed superb negotiating skills, not only Huang Jian himself, but also people like Xu Jin can almost conclude that the future of the Huang family is bleak.

"Money is worthless, is it still money?" Shen Bai's words made Huang Ji'an sweat profusely.

Huang Ji'an stood up and bowed, "Brother Shen, help me."

Shen Bai supported him: "Brother Huang, you don't have to do this, I will come up with a plan, and Bao Huang's family will be listed as a meritorious service, and his virtue will be known to the world."

"Oh?" Huang Ji'an came to his senses, sat upright and looked at Shen Bai.

"Brother Huang, do you think we will lose money after selling the cheap food in Tongyuan Bookstore? You can ask shopkeeper Qin." Shen Bai pointed at Qin Yu.

Qin Yu said sternly: "A catty of cheap food, excluding expenses, earns five Wen. Although it is not much, ten thousand catties is 500 taels, but it has earned me the reputation of Tongyuan Bookstore as the number one bookstore in the world. Now it is printed in a month. The number can't keep up with the sales, and the monthly profit is more than ten thousand taels, and it has the potential to multiply and explode."

When Qin Yu said it, Huang Ji'an couldn't help but nodded when he heard the profit of the book.

"There are countless bookstores in the world, why is Tongyuan so popular now?" Shen Bai looked at Huang Ji'an: "It's nothing but fame and fortune. If you are famous, you will benefit from it."

"That's right, then I'll start selling cheap food when I go back?" Huang Ji'an asked.

"No, if you do this, you won't get what the Huang family wants." Shen Bai refused.

"Brother Shen's meaning?" Huang Ji'an didn't dare to say more, let alone what the Huang family thought.

"Starting from the Huang family, we will rectify the names of merchants all over the world, remove the lowest ranking of merchants, and no longer have the restrictions of scientific examinations. Even the Huang family can pay a price in exchange for a reputation that is not profitable."

"Brother Shen can do this?" Huang Ji'an was a little excited. With the Huang family as the leader, it is something that has been passed down through the ages to rectify the names of businessmen.

"The former is easy to handle, but the latter, maybe the Huang family has to donate a little money." Shen Bai said, guessing Yu Wentuo's fan nature.

"This is easy to handle. I will go home and discuss it immediately."

"Don't worry, I'll talk to you about selling cheap food first." Shen Bai comforted Huang Ji'an.

"Okay." Huang Ji'an sat down, unable to hide the joy in his heart.

"Does the Huang family have a large number of employees at Bianjing Wharf?" Shen Bai asked.

"Yes, the three large berth terminals have our warehouses."

"You start at the wharf. All wharf workers can buy [-] catties of cheap grain per family. The second step is to limit sales for the poor, and finally, to limit the purchase of cheap grain per head based on household registration, that is, you can win Reputation, and can guarantee the minimum interests."

"This idea is good, and it can also prevent a run on the peers." Jia Shiqing chimed in.

"What is our ultimate goal?" Huang Ji'an asked directly.

Shen Bai looked at him: "Lead the grain merchants in Bianjing to stop raising the price of grain."

"If it's this, then my father's method is even stronger, after all, that's what our family does." Huang Ji'an said confidently.

"Okay, Mr. Huang, go back and discuss. I'll wait for your news at home."

"Just wait for the good news." Huang Ji'an hurried back.

After Huang Ji'an went back, Jia Shiqing, Qin Yu and Xu Jin looked at each other with a feeling of sighing.

If the Huang family also gets involved, the food price issue will turn around.

"Now that we're making such a fuss, it's hard for the emperor not to know about it. Unless he's not as shrewd as he imagined, the issue of the title of the Huang family should be resolved." Shen Bai sighed.

"A title? You still want to get a title for the Huang family?" Qin Yu clicked his tongue, Shen Bai was really not afraid of disasters for things that ordinary people would never dare to think about.

"It's a title, brother also thinks it's impossible?" Shen Bai looked at Jia Shiqing.

"What does fourth brother rely on to make this judgment?" Jia Shiqing was also a bit conservative, not daring to make random judgments.

"As long as the imperial court needs money and food right now, money and food are still secondary. The most important thing is attitude. Who can take the lead in expressing their attitude for suppressing grain prices, and who can express their attitude for the attitude of merchants all over the world." Shen Bai explained.

Jia Shiqing pondered: "This is like a military order to attack. Regardless of success or failure, the execution of the order is the most important thing."

"Yes, in war, the nature of 'defeat' and 'cowardice' are completely different; defeat is a common occurrence in military strategists, but cowardice is a damn thing for generals!" Xu Jin also understood.

"It's a good opportunity for the Huang family to seize such a good opportunity." Qin Yu also agreed.

Shen Bai smiled: "We are just relying on the Huang family to achieve our goal. There are only a few companies that can control the price of food in Bianjing, and maybe even this one. If we stand with them, we can hide our presence. "

"Of course." Shen Bai looked at Jia Shiqing: "If elder brother wants to go further, we don't need to pass on the credit to others."

After hearing this, Jia Shiqing didn't say anything, but raised his head, looked at the lamp hanging from the top, and thought to himself.

Shen Bai's words were a kind of temptation. As a sworn brother, he never asked about the Jia family, but it didn't mean that he was insensitive to some things.

Jia Shiqing didn't speak, Shen Bai smiled, he was thinking about his own cheap food price, did Yu Wentuo know or not?

After returning from the teahouse, Xu Jin went to help Qin Yu draw a map after reading a book in the study.

After lunch, Huang Ji'an didn't speak back, but Zihuan came.

"What is Ah Bai busy with?" Zihuan came in and asked.

Since when did most people call Shen Bai and Ah Bai, Shen Bai himself didn't know.

"Zihuan is here, sit down quickly, aren't you busy these days?" Shen Bai walked out of the desk and sat with him at the Eight Immortals table.

"There are a lot of things in the court, but there are actually not many things here. The seemingly chaotic situation, the emperor's heart is as stable as Mount Tai, and he doesn't move at all. We as courtiers can't solve the problem even if we are anxious. It's better to be ourselves with peace of mind."

Zihuan didn't say that he was helpless, but there was a kind of cleverness in it, at least not enough to cause trouble for himself.

In such a time of internal and external troubles, as a member of the royal family, one more point will pass, and one point less will fall. The balance is a narrow and dangerous path like a knife. Before you can see the steps ahead, any kind of rash move is desperate .

"It's a good thing for Zihuan to be free for half a day. It's the same as not being able to go to the fiefdom now. It's close to the northwest and it's extremely dangerous. It's better to be safe in Bianjing." Shen Bai comforted.

Zihuan smiled: "I don't believe that Ah Bai can ignore everything with such a single-minded focus."

"The rooster controls the morning, and everyone performs their duties. I just do not violate the destiny within the scope of my own game."

Shunzi brought the tea, Zihuan looked at him and said, "Cousin has returned to the northwest, and the situation in the northwest is still unpredictable. I'm bored in Bianjing, and I don't even have a friend to talk to."

"Don't you have a cousin?" Shen Bai teased him.

Zihuan showed a helpless expression: "I'm afraid I won't be able to hide."

"What is Zihuan planning to do these days?"

"I'm not going to do anything, but I want to play with A-Bai every day, but I'm afraid that A-Bai has been around for a long time, and I think I come too often!" Zihuan looked at Shen Bai with a smile.

"What are you talking about, Xu Jin lives here every day, what did I say?" Shen Bai pretended to be angry and said.

"Then I will come every day and visit every day."

"Then I'll live here as more than one person!" Shen Bai returned, and the two smiled softly.

Speaking appropriately and happily, Zhao Pu came in and reported: "Young Master, Young Master Huang is here."

After speaking, he looked at Zihuan who was sitting.

"Ah Bai has guests, why don't I avoid them first." Zihuan said proactively.

"It's okay, let's leave it at that, invite Mr. Huang to come in." The more Zihuan said this, the more embarrassed he was to let him out.

Huang Ji'an walked in immediately, saw Zihuan and vaguely remembered it, and the three of them sat down at the Eight Immortals Table after exchanging greetings.

"My father agreed to that matter." Huang Ji'an said excitedly.

"Affordable food?" Shen Bai asked.

"It will start tomorrow." Huang Ji'an nodded and said: "As for the matter of Guansheng, Mr. Shen, you can make a price, and my father says it will be easy to handle."

Shen Bai smiled and shook his head: "It's not up to me, but it's expected. As for how much money to pay, it's the Huang family's business."

Huang Ji'an looked at Zihuan, and Shen Bai said reassuringly, "Brother Huang, just say that Zihuan is not an outsider."

"Within one million taels."

After Huang Ji'an finished speaking, Lian Zihuan also looked at Shen Bai in surprise.

Shen Bai nodded calmly, "It's good that I know the numbers, let's leave everything for later!"

"Okay, I'll arrange for cheap food first, and Brother Shen will take care of everything." Huang Ji'an got up and thanked.

Shen Bai bowed respectfully to Huang Ji'an: "Brother Huang and his family have made great contributions to the livelihood of the people in the world!"
