Chapter 315 [Observers and Index]
There are no people in the store. Perhaps the guys inside have been sent to the gate and the goods yard, where there is a greater demand for manpower.
So Fang Chang walked through it easily, like walking on an empty street.
There are more than one floor inside. Fang Chang followed the stairs to the second floor, then circled around twice, and came to the outside of a room. Several people were chatting in the room, and the door was not closed, so Fang Chang went in directly, sat on an empty seat, and even took a piece of fruit from the nearby plate to eat.
The people in the room didn't seem to notice Fang Chang, only a thin one seemed to notice something, turned his head to look this way, Fang Chang reacted very quickly, with a light finger, the other party just glanced here, and nothing happened. He turned his head back knowingly.
The fruit is pretty good, it’s just past autumn, and this business has been operating for a while, and it’s rich and powerful, so naturally it won’t save money on such small things. What's more, the people who are chatting in the room are the core personnel of the company's branch in Long'anfu.
The shopkeeper of the semicolon was holding a wine glass, leaning against the window, looking through the gap in the curtains at the surging crowd below.
Several other people in the room were sitting around a large table.
The cups and plates on the table are messy, and the wine and meat dishes are fragrant, but there are still a lot left. On the small table next to the wall, there were still a few open food boxes thrown around. It seemed that these people had just had a big meal ordered from an outside restaurant.
The person who caught Fang Chang's attention the most was the person who noticed him entering the door just now.
The slender man was wearing a brown turban and sat in a relatively high position, but he was taciturn and seldom spoke. He just kept looking around during the banquet.
Fang Chang could see clearly that this person was obviously an unformed little demon. He did not know what method was used to transform into a human appearance, but there were still some remaining characteristics, so he needed to wrap it with cloth to avoid being too shocking.
After a while, the semicolon shopkeeper leaning on the window sill suddenly raised his glass, drank it down, and then said with a sigh: "There is still a long time to leave, because there is a request from the head office, we have to take care of the rest of the world." Where the spread is slow, the closing time should not differ too much."
Well, it seems that he committed the crime on conviction, Fang Chang beside him thought to himself.
He leaned over the table, pulled a pork knuckle from the untouched plate, sat back and gnawed it, and listened to what the group of people said next.
During the banquet, no one noticed that the pork knuckle was missing. When the shopkeeper Semicolon spoke, they stopped chatting instantly, put down the wine glasses and chopsticks in their hands, and listened intently.
After his voice fell, someone quickly responded:
"It should be, this situation is one, regardless of which prefecture or county, it is the same game of chess, so the palace should naturally move in unison and act together."
Everyone nodded together.
Instead, the semicolon shopkeeper by the window sighed, returned to the table, picked up a delicate white porcelain bottle from the warm wine container, and poured it into his own cup. He walked to the window again, stood straight and looked at the people below who were eagerly queuing up to pick up the goods, and after a few breaths he said:
"Having said that, but this situation will put a lot of pressure on us, which has spread out earlier..."
No one interrupted, the shopkeeper Semicolon continued:
"Next, I hope that everyone will work together to maintain the current situation and not collapse prematurely."
Everyone praised: "It's the shopkeeper's commanding skills, who have arranged many matters in advance."
The shopkeeper Semicolon just stood by the window with his back to everyone. Hearing this compliment, he shook his head and turned around. He sighed again, holding his wine glass and said:
"But, that's not enough!"
"The speed is too fast, too fast... I have to say, the people in the head office are really talented, and they have come up with such a good business."
"Although this business is good, the scale of influence is expanding too fast. One spreads to ten, and ten spreads to hundreds. This is far from a growth rate that can be easily controlled. Sigh..."
He drank the wine in the glass again, as if to quell the worries in his heart.
Fang Chang, who was sitting next to him, laughed secretly: Human beings always lack sufficient understanding of exponential growth. He put the remaining pork knuckle bones back on the table, pulled another chicken leg, and continued eating and listening.
The semicolon shopkeeper turned to another person and asked:
"A few days ago, I asked you to deal with the officials in the lower government office. How are you doing?"
The man got up immediately and replied respectfully:
"Returning to the shopkeeper, the county magistrate and all the officials in charge have sent several goods for free, and even the ordinary servants have sent some money and silk. Everyone is very satisfied and praises our company repeatedly."
"Okay, not bad." The shopkeeper put the wine glass on the table, and the person next to him immediately picked up the porcelain bottle and filled the glass with wine, but he continued to order: "No matter where you work, the official figure must be Take care of it, whether it is good or bad, their influence is very strong."
"Next, go to the yamen figures you visited before, and give each person a few more copies. Don't be stingy, and you must do it safely. By the way, check for omissions and fill in vacancies to prevent previous omissions."
The man respectfully accepted the order: "Yes."
The shopkeeper of the semicolon looked around, then looked at the other one, and asked: "How is the repurchase situation? The goods bought by someone should have expired now. Has anyone come to our store to buy back?"
The person being asked slowly got up and said:
"It's already there, but this situation is obviously wrong, because the outside market price is a little bit more than our repurchase price. Even if you really need money and need it urgently, there are still a lot of buyers. They don't need to come to us to sell, and the quantity is not enough. big."
"So I guess, it should be that some big families are worried about not being safe enough, so they conducted a test. After all, they have a lot of people, and they don't want to let go of making money. I don't know how much they have stockpiled. It is normal to worry that we are not reliable enough. .”
"Well, no matter who it is, according to the predetermined strategy, if someone comes to ask for a repurchase, just buy it. Anyway, if you resell it and sell it, there will still be profits in it." The shopkeeper said.
The price of the goods after their number is assigned fluctuates with the market price, but since they are the only ones who have the supply of goods here, most people still can only come to arrange the number. Moreover, the repurchase price is a little lower than the market price, and Semicolon Shopkeeper is very confident in maintaining profitability.
Walking back to the table, holding his wine glass in his hand, the shopkeeper Semicolon raised the volume, pointed at the crowd outside the screen window, and said to everyone in the banquet:
"We have made a lot of money during this period of time, and the tasks set by the head office have been overfulfilled. Therefore, we can also think about it for our semicolons. This point should be allowed by the head office."
