Just as Jiang Haifeng was heading to the Four Seasons Hall, the Zhao Family was bustling with activity.
Many cars stopped in front of the Zhao Manor, causing the entire road in front of the Zhao Manor to be almost blocked.
In the backyard of the Zhao Residence, Zhao Yumin sat in the pavilion. The servant girl behind her massaged her shoulders while curiously sizing up the people entering and leaving the residence.
"Miss, what's wrong with this today? In the past, when the Zhao family opened for business, there were few customers. Now that the old master has closed the shop, they have come over, as if they were afraid of being one step slower than others.”
Zhao Yumin tilted her head and looked at those old men in luxurious clothes, but her mind was filled with the shadow of the young man from the Jiang family.
Before today, she still couldn't figure it out.
Not only did Uncle Jiang agree to the words of a rich playboy who usually had nothing to do, but his usually smooth father also followed suit.
However, since the merchants from the city had rushed over in an endless stream this morning, she seemed to have understood something.
"They're all here for our family's surplus grain.”
Zhao Yumin narrowed her eyes as she watched Old Master Zhao and the group of businessmen exchange pleasantries. She felt a chill run down her spine.
Each of them had their own thoughts, but when they met, they acted like brothers.
Those who didn't know better would think that these people were long-lost blood relatives.
"Ah! Miss, could it be that our master is really going to escape?”
The servant girl looked a little panicked.
He had followed the Zhao family when they fled to Songhu City.
Although she was still young at that time, the dangers and hardships along the way were still fresh in her mind.
Everyone liked a comfortable life.
After so many years of peace and comfort, no one liked to live a life of hiding.
Zhao Yumin frowned slightly and turned her head to look at the servant girl who gently patted her hand.""Hurry up and spit. What escape? You can't talk nonsense.”
It was just that she did not have much confidence in herself after saying this.
After all, they were selling their stock now and clearing all their stock.
No matter how he looked at it, it seemed like he was withdrawing funds to prepare for the Zhao family's escape.
But she didn't believe it.
Recalling Jiang Haifeng's sharp eyes that day, she had a feeling.
Closing the shop was just an illusion.
It was as if he wanted the two families to cooperate with him to put on a show.
If he really wanted to escape, he shouldn't have said that he would close the shop.
However, what could that youth who was the same age as him do?
Zhao Yumin was conflicted.
In the past, everyone knew that Jiang Hai Feng was a playboy who indulged in debauchery and did not want to improve.
How did he end up like this?
"Yue 'er, you've met Young Master Jiang before. What's your impression of him?”
Zhao Yumin held her chin with one hand and frowned in annoyance.
The servant girl behind him was obviously stunned, and then she burst out laughing.
"Miss, why are you suddenly asking about Young Master Jiang?”
Zhao Yumin's ears turned red and she quickly reached out to twist Yue Er's waist,"Don't talk nonsense. I'm just asking."
Yue 'er laughed and dodged. Then, she said with a serious expression,"Miss, I think Young Master Jiang is not as bad as those people say. I have a sister in Cui Hua Brothel. She told me about those young masters who go in and out of the restaurant.”
"It is said that among those famous young masters in Songhu City, only Young Master Jiang is different from those young masters who have no skills.”
"What do you mean?" Zhao Yumin asked.”
"She said that every time Young Master Jiang went to a restaurant to drink, he would only focus on drinking." Many girls in the building wanted to get close to him, but they were all rejected by him. It seemed that beauty was not attractive to him.”
Zhao Yumin was slightly stunned.
What kind of place was Cui Hua Lou?
It was not an exaggeration to call it a brothel.
It said that he was selling his skills and not selling his body, but those who had the heart understood very well.
It wasn't that the girls in the building didn't have the intention, but they were good at picking people.
To put it bluntly, they were just a group of higher-class brothel girls.
As long as they found their target, those women would do everything they could to seduce him.
There was a saying in Songhu that the concubines of wealthy families were mostly from brothels.
The Jiang family was definitely one of the few big families in Songhu City.
Jiang Hai Feng, the only son of the Jiang Family, had entered those restaurants. Naturally, he would become the prey of those women.
"He doesn't get close to women after entering a restaurant, and he still likes to go there so much. Do you think he's there?"
Yue Er's expression changed." Miss, what you mean is…Miss, why would you have such thoughts? Don't tell me?"
Looking at Zhao Yumin with a wicked smile, Yue Er raised her eyebrows with a wicked smile.
Zhao Yumin's face instantly turned red.
"Bah, no, I didn't."
As she spoke, Zhao Yumin directly reached out to cover her face, forcing herself to cool down.
Just as the two women were chatting.
The sound of footsteps was getting closer.
Old Master Zhao looked at Zhao Yumin, who was blushing, and looked at Yue 'er suspiciously,""What's wrong with Miss? Are you feeling unwell?"
Hearing Old Master Zhao's voice, Zhao Yumin subconsciously stood up from her stone seat.
"Father!"
He had been busy chatting just now, but when he turned around, he realized that there were no outsiders in the manor.
"Father, did those people leave? Did you sell all the goods at home?”
In the panic, Zhao Yumin spoke first, afraid that Yue 'er's mouth would not be truthful and she would tell everyone about the conversation between the two of them.
Old Master Zhao was all smiles when he heard that.
He slowly sat on the stone chair, picked up the tea that had already cooled down, and drank it in one gulp.
"That's right. In just one day, all the goods that our Zhao family has praised for several years have been sold.”
Looking at Zhao Yumin, Old Master Zhao's face was filled with joy.
Not only was it sold, but it was also sold at double the market price a day ago!
Originally, the goods were worth less than 400,000 yuan. Even if he sold them all, he would only be able to earn 200,000 yuan.
However, in just a short period of time, it had cost more than 1.3 million yuan!
Without the cost, it was equivalent to earning nearly a million yuan without any effort!
"What?! One million!"
Zhao Yumin gasped.
A net profit of nearly a million, what kind of concept was that?
According to the original profit of the Zhao family, it would take three years to reach that level!
However, in such a short period of time, he had actually done it.
"Father, why?"
Zhao Yumin couldn't figure it out.
Even if they were to sell their goods, it would be fine if the Chamber of Commerce and merchants did not take the opportunity to lower the price.
But now, not only did he not lower the price, he even doubled the market price.
No matter how he thought about it, it didn't seem right.
Old Master Zhao stroked his beard and looked at his daughter with a smile.
"Little Min, you have to know that timing is important in doing business. However, it's hard on you. Even I only figured it out when those people came to find me.”
Closing all the Zhao family's shops overnight was the first step.
The second step was to spread the news that Songhu City was in short supply.
The third step was to let all the chambers of commerce in Songhu city unite and take the opportunity to raise prices and accumulate wealth.
What was a merchant? Mercenary was the best way to describe it.
Now that the Zhao family was closed, the price of daily necessities in the city had increased by several times.
No businessman would not be tempted by such a money-making opportunity.
It was not that those merchants did not have their own purchasing channels.
However, no one knew how long this hunger marketing could last.
It would take at least a few days for the supplies to be transported back from other places.
If they wanted to seize the opportunity, only the Zhao family could quickly obtain resources and accumulate wealth in Songhu city.
Even though they knew that the Zhao family was being targeted by some forces, those merchants still chose to take the risk under the huge benefits.
Therefore, not only did those merchants not lower the price today, but they also took the initiative to raise the price. They only wanted to quickly transport the Zhao family's goods to their own warehouses.
"Brilliant, so ruthless!"
Old Master Zhao's eyes shone brightly.
"Min 'er, from today onwards, if you have nothing to do, go to the Jiang family more often. That kid from the Jiang family is an incredible figure. Not only the younger generation, but even the older generation might have made a mistake.”
Old Master Zhao stood up from the stone chair and took a deep breath. His face was solemn.
If all of this was planned by that Jiang kid from the very beginning, it would be too shocking.
However, Old Master Zhao vaguely felt that the whole matter was far from over.
The Zhao family's clearance was probably only one of the steps.
There was probably an even bigger situation ahead.
How deep was that youth hiding? If he had been faking it all those years ago, that would have been too terrifying.
Back in the room, Old Master Zhao called the butler in from outside the door.
"Butler Li, go to the Jiang family personally and give these checks to the Jiang family's head.”
An old man took the check from Old Master Zhao and took a deep breath after looking at the amount on it."Master, isn't this a little too much?”
The Zhao family's goods were sold out, totaling only 1.3 million.
And now, the check to be sent to the Jiang family was close to 900,000 yuan.
In other words, other than the capital of those goods, the Zhao family had only left tens of thousands of dollars in working capital.
Old Master Zhao looked at Butler Li and smiled."Old Li, you've been by my side for a long time. You should know that our Zhao family is able to establish a foothold in Songhu City without the Jiang family.”
"Only if they survive will we have a place.”
With his hands behind his back, Old Master Zhao sighed faintly.
"I don't have Jiang Tianwen's boldness. It's not easy for a merchant family to protect themselves. Without the support of a giant tree, it would be difficult to survive. Since it concerned the fate of both families, money was not that important.”
