    With the business going like this, only the two masters, Li Daguan and Yang Yuanwai, can settle the accounts. Others, including shopkeeper Gao and manager Wang, are half-understood.

    When shopkeeper Gao invited Li You to the corner of the courtyard to discuss the payment issue, Manager Wang and Yuanwai Yang also began to whisper.

    Manager Wang and Yuanwai Yang are close friends and have been friends for decades. Although they are boss and employee in name, in reality, they treat each other as brothers. They speak very straightforwardly and are somewhat dissatisfied with Yuanwai Yang's concession:  "You are too cowardly, as if we are begging him to buy coal. Coal is in short supply now, but we have the goods."

    Yang Yuanwai sighed: "When you first came here, you raised the price too much, otherwise the matter would not have ended like this. It is only humane to raise one or two cents of silver, but suddenly the price increase from the two cents agreed upon in advance  Three taels is too much, no wonder it made that official Li angry."

    Manager Wang was unconvinced and said: "I have discovered that they have no coal at all, and they are all counting on our goods to help them. Under this situation, they have to accept whatever price we offer. How can a businessman not take the opportunity to ask for high prices? Is it possible?  Is it wrong if I raise the price to thirty taels?"

    Yang Yuanwai often walked around the scene and had many friends. He was not as narrow-minded as Manager Wang, who could only look up at the goods and immersed himself in the account books. He patiently advised: "You don't understand, it is easy to settle the accounts of money, but it is easy to settle the accounts of favors."  It's hard to calculate clearly. When doing business, especially with powerful people like them, you have to count not only money, but also favors. If you only focus on a few taels of silver and worry about it, you will definitely lose your head, unless you are strong enough.  Fight him.

    We have been holding back this coal for two months, and we have already lost thousands of taels of silver.  But no one wanted it at the nearby military base. This time, there was no way to go to the capital to sell it. It was because of a favor that I found Qian Guojiu's connection.  Otherwise, the capital city is deep in water and the coal market is in a delicate period recently. If we casually sell hundreds of thousands of kilograms of coal, we really don¡¯t know what trouble it will cause.

    Uncle Qian Guo carried the official Li out, and it was obvious that he was not as powerful as the official Li.  If Li Daguan is angered because we go back on our word and raise prices, then Li Daguan will find fault with Qian Guojiu later.  Uncle Qian Guo was found, wasn't it? If he found us in turn, wouldn't all our favors be lost?  "

    Manager Wang muttered: "Whatever a favor is worth, just pay it. Now that coal is in short supply, we can still sell it to other coal shops. After we earn this money, we will not deal with them in the future."

    Member Yang heard this.  He felt a little resentful and pulled Manager Wang's sleeves hard, "If you think like this again, don't come to the capital in the future, otherwise you will only cause trouble! Doing big business in the capital is different from other places.  The difference is that you don¡¯t feel confident just because you have the goods in hand!

    ¡°We dug hundreds of thousands of kilograms of coal in the ravine ourselves, but no one else knew about it.  It's not a small amount under the current market conditions in Beijing. The coal market price is 20,000 taels.  Who knows if someone will be jealous and insist on eating it?  If we don¡¯t have human protection and powerful eunuchs jump out to take advantage of us, what can you do?  Can you guarantee that such a thing will not happen?

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUTOUT  If they take a fancy to our hundreds of thousands of kilograms of coal and just give us a few vouchers to hoard our coal, what should we do?

    The coal shop can collude with the Xinxi Department.  Take advantage of the high price to sell and share the huge profits.  But we are not even qualified to enter the market, how can we sell it?  Besides, wouldn¡¯t the big shots in the coal market be willing to watch us follow the trend and make a fortune effortlessly and for no reason?  Didn¡¯t it make others cheaper in the end?

    I can conclude that if you sell coal to another coal shop, the Xixin Secretary will come to your door the next day, and the person who sold it to Li Daguan was a favor. At least he will not let the Xixin Secretary use a few blank pieces of paper.  We will hoard our coal with ordinary vouchers.  He must have this strength, otherwise Qian Guojiu would not come to him. This is where favors are valuable!  "

    to be honest.  Manager Wang often works in the north.  He really didn¡¯t think much about the capital city in the south. He was dumbfounded when he heard this and said, ¡°Can you still think like this?¡±

    Member Yang was afraid that this old brother did not understand thoroughly.  He continued: "Do you know why Mr. Li deliberately displayed an arrogant and rude attitude? In addition to his confidence, the other reason is to test us! If we are willing to tolerate it, then we understand the rules and understand the rules, and we can continue.  Cooperation; if we rely on coal to respect ourselves, it means that we do not understand the rules at all, do not know the depth of the capital, and there is no need to continue cooperation.

    He lowered the price of 80,000 kilograms to one, two or four cents, which was a small warning and punishment to us.  That's why I said that you raised the price too much. If you only raised the price by one or two cents at the beginning, then Li Daguan might not care if he was eager to get coal, but you are too greedy and going too far is not enough.

    Fortunately, I dealt with it properly, and probably Li Daguan also understood it later.?See it!  Although being banned in the entertainment venue sounds like child's play, the person who issued the ban is the famous eldest princess of the day. If you want her to play child's play on you, then you must also be qualified to play child's play!

    Secondly, is this Li Daguan the famous Li Tanhua in the capital?  When did people like Li Tanhua start doing business?  For a long time, Yang Yuanwai did not associate the official Li in front of him with the famous Li Tanhua. Who would have thought that they were the same person!

    After meeting the famous person and discussing business, Yang Yuanwai suddenly felt a sense of honor in his heart.  Occasionally seeing Yang Yuanwai's absent-minded expression, shopkeeper Gao suddenly understood a lot.

    No wonder the boss, knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, prefers to go to the tiger mountain. Although he is not arrogant, he does not say anything about showing off Now Mr. Yang must fulfill the agreement with all his heart.
