Chapter 74 Big Fish Eating Small Fish Game

Li You and Mr. Qin went out of the yamen, but saw the chief accompanying Zhang San, and asked him: "Why are you not here in the inspection department?"

Zhang San replied: "Police Police Officer Hong came again to ask for the Lord, and said he would not leave if he could not see him. Everyone in the office could not make the decision. How would he tell me?"

Li You thought for a while and said, "I have business in the county these two days. He is willing to wait and wait, and provide delicious food and drink. Go back quickly and watch the movements of the inspection department. If there is anything wrong, I will repay you."

Zhang Sanying went down and went.

Li You got into the sedan chair and followed Qin Yuanwai's sedan chair towards Fuxin Lane.

After getting out of the sedan chair outside the Qin family, Li You did not rush to go in, but stood there and stared at the opposite door to watch. The door of the house was not wide, but it was painted in a vermilion that represented the official family. It was different from the left and right, and it was very eye-catching. There were also car doormen and other constructions. Li You thought to himself that this house was probably the dowry of his father-in-law, and it seemed that the rectification had been almost done.

Qin Yuanwai was very puzzled. After asking Li You twice, he didn't move. After waiting for a while, he asked, "What do you mean by sir?"

Li You smiled and entered the Qin family.

There were orchids in the hall and calligraphy and paintings hanging on all sides were very elegant. After Li You sat down, he casually said: "I want to open a weaver workshop at home recently. What do you think? I hope to give you some advice."

Qin Yuanwai thought Li You wanted to ask him about some bookshops, which was a half-cultural topic. Unexpectedly, he asked about the silk weaving workshop directly. He replied: "My main business in the Qin family has only ten flower machines. Although he is not very concerned about it, he also knows that business has been difficult recently and has been relying on the subsidies obtained from the bookshop."

Li You asked, "I also heard that raw silk is scarce, and I thought that if I didn't start work, I would have no income at most. How could I lose money?"

Qin Yuanwai smiled bitterly and said, "Are you interested in this business as an adult? As the saying goes, if you are familiar with it, you will have to pay a salary every day to leave a mature worker, otherwise he will suffer greater losses after he switches to someone else. Moreover, some buyers order the order in advance and will have to compensate if they fail. For example, Mr. Yan's family heard that they would do a maritime business and took out a large capital to book a total of 10,000 pieces of silk and silk from dozens of machine owners in the county. My family also received 200 pieces last month and was about to deliver the goods in August. There was no problem. However, the raw silk was broken recently. Seeing that the date was up and not completed, they could not pay the deposit."

Mr. Yan? Yan Ju. Although Li You is temporarily unable to deal with this enemy of the big business, he has carefully investigated it. His family is a big landlord in Tianlianqianmo. He is a very traditional rich family. He can earn several thousand taels of income every year. Now he has changed his mind to use huge sums of money to trade. Even the deposit paid in the early stage is 3,000 to 5,000 taels.

Li You pretended to come up with an idea and said, "I heard that there is a shortage of raw silk everywhere, and there are people from Fucheng who are basing the raw silk in Lishui Town. How can you not do anything? Or you can ask the government for help."

"According to the usual practice, several large companies in the bank will come forward to justice. What's the use of small computer operators without money or power? Let's wait for the results with peace of mind. My family also has a bookstore to make a profit to subsidize the silk weaving farm, and I believe that I can keep waiting for the market to improve. If other small companies fail to complete the order, they will be considered to have to pay more than a dozen taels of money if each machine fails to start work in a month, which is probably difficult to endure. Those large companies have strong financial resources and can hold on for a while and a half."

From Qin Yuanwai's words, Li You noticed that this big and small household are not necessarily the same thing. In the past, I always viewed the silk weaving industry as a whole, which was a misunderstanding of thinking. In fact, the silk weaving industry is not a monolithic part.

The poor little computer households were in a mess of sand and were looking forward to the powerful peers coming forward to justice, but they didn't know that Yao Miaozhu of Huangpo Temple secretly gave the government five thousand taels of silver to completely cut off their life path!

Five thousand taels of silver, only the big machine owner can get such financial resources, and perhaps the Yan family must be added. Otherwise, how could the Yan family suddenly get the wind to engage in overseas trade? It seems that placing orders for various machine owners on a large scale last month was also fishing.

Li You silently analyzed this in his heart, and the whole thing was about to come out. There were several large-scale machine owners in this county, who joined forces with the Yan family, and tried to destroy the small-scale machine owners to lose money. Then it was very simple, and took the opportunity to acquire the scarce skilled workers and looms of the small-scale machine owners at a low price to expand their own industry.

Yao Miao Zhu dared to send 5,000 taels to Chen County, but the benefits in it were far more than 5,000. According to Li You, when he was bored, he was still a little impressed by some data in the county. The scattered small machine owners in this county probably had nearly a thousand looms and about 1,500 skilled workers. When the raw silk is sufficient, the annual profit of 30,000 to 40,000 taels is not a problem.

I'm afraid those small and inexperienced computer owners would think that they were bullies in the city who rushed to buy raw silk until they died, but the local government's inaction led to bankruptcy. This can actually be called an open conspiracy. The big fish rely on their strong financial resources to pay tens of thousands of taels of silver to play the game of eating small fish. Even if the little fish noticed it, how could they resist?

After thinking through the causes and consequences, Li You became a little excited. He accidentally discovered that such a big cake was placed in front of him. Although it was made by someone else, wouldn’t it be a pity if he didn’t take a bite?

This incident is different from the last seawall stone incident. That time, it embezzled huge amounts of public property, and it involved countless senior officials and nobles. It was vaguely deep and could not see through it. If it was implicated, it would be too risky to be searched and beheaded. How could he afford it?

This time it was just a business game promoted by a few rich people in the county, and they still want to go to their own places. Even if the speculation fails, there will be no disastrous consequences. The risks are low and the returns are high. It can be said that success is happy, and failure is unnecessary. His own identity is different. Li You is confident that after framed others, he will be punished with at most absent-minded and unscrupulous. However, he doesn't believe that several businessmen also have courage to rebel, and the largest county magistrate Chen is his own support.

After consulting the silk weaving industry and analyzing the truth, Inspection Officer Li was impatient to stay in the Qin family for a long time, and was afraid that he would accidentally reveal something, so he got up and said goodbye and left.

Moreover, when you see such a big cake, you really need to think carefully about how to eat sweeter food. Especially when it comes to the hateful Yan family, you have to think carefully. In addition, out of caution, you must also carefully inquire about it and see what the background of the large motor households in this county are.

At this time, Qin Yuanwai asked: "I have admired Master Li for a long time. Today I am rarely here. Please leave behind the calligraphy treasures and collect them in my Qin family."

Mo Bao... Li Mingshi said modestly: "How can I appear in front of others with a few ugly words? "

Mr. Qin did not dare to stop and ask for it, so he had to send it to the courtyard gate with grievance. He sighed in his heart that Lord Li also knew that things were precious because they were rare. The friendship he had met for the first time today was obviously not enough.

After leaving the Qin family, Li You did not rush to get into the sedan chair and looked at the eye-catching vermilion door opposite him. His eyes looked more than ten feet to the left. It was the door of another neighbor's house. If you guessed correctly, this was Li Mei's new residence.

Since you have been here, should you go in and take a look? Li You found that he now has a very turmoil to tease her, and tease a beauty who secretly likes her but does not reveal it (these two words are very important) must be a great joy in life.

Qin Yuanwai stood in the door opening, originally planning to watch Lord Li go away. However, seeing that Li You stood for a long time without moving, just staring at the house slanted in front of him. So he came to Li You knowingly and said, "I heard that the house is Li Mei's new residence. Now I really refuse to see guests behind closed doors. Even if you are a sir, you may not be able to enter."

Li You snorted coldly and said, "Do you dare to make a bet with me?"

Qin Yuanwai followed the trend and said: "I hope to bet on a master's calligraphy and paintings at home. If I lose, I can choose them." He was very good at calculating and would not suffer any loss. He won the calligraphy and paintings, and if I lose, I would also get Li You. Later, I had a topic with my friends - Li Tanhua and I had bet on it. Of course, he kept all valuable calligraphy and paintings in secret, so he would not really take Li You to choose them.
