Chapter 367: Trouble at the Wei Family (2)
"Let's go out and take a look."
There was someone at home who was in confinement after childbirth, but couldn't stand her making such noise, so Shen Xiangwan decided to go out and meet her to completely put her mind at ease.
"Um."
Yuan Ying nodded and followed. Although she was not responsible for this matter, she knew the whole story. The reason why Yuan Yue was basically not at home during this period was because of their mischief. In order to collect enough wine bottles and wine jars, Yuan Yue went to the next county early this morning. After all, the quantity they wanted was too large, and the other kiln factories in Datong County were completely unable to meet their needs.
"Who are you? Why are you crying at my door?"
The woman was crying so loudly that it was obvious that she was trying to attract other people's attention. Zhao Yuping, who was sewing bags with everyone at Yan's house, came back with Zhou Wushuang. Mu Yunran and others were with her. Everyone frowned, obviously seeing through the woman's purpose and disliking her actions.
"Your home? You are..."
The lady in front of him, who looked to be in her twenties at most, actually said that this was her home. The woman kneeling on the ground was full of confusion. They had been cooperating with the Wei family for so long, and they probably knew about the situation of the Wei family. Could she be Mrs. Wei?
"I···"
"mother!"
Just as Zhao Yuping was about to respond, Shen Xiangwan's voice suddenly rang out. Everyone looked over and saw that she had come out with Yuan Ying, followed by Yue Ruyan. The guards who had appeared earlier clasped their fists respectfully and said, "Madam!"
"Um."
Shen Xiangwan nodded vaguely, ignoring the woman sitting on the ground, and said to Zhao Yuping and the others, "Mom, you guys go and get busy. It's not a big deal and can be solved quickly."
"Um."
Looking at her and then at the strange couple, Zhao Yuping did not ask any questions. She turned around and asked the female family members to leave. In this family, Wei Chengyi was basically in charge of all external matters, while Shen Xiangwan was fully responsible for internal affairs. None of them would interfere unless the couple needed help and took the initiative to ask them for help.
"Wei, Madam Wei, nice to meet you at last. I'm Wang Cuihua, the owner of the kiln factory, and this is my husband Zhang Sheng."
The woman got up from the ground and pulled her husband to Chen Xiangwan. The man, whose face had turned red and who had acted indifferent, looked at her and Yue Ruyan blankly, his eyes filled with naked amazement and obsession.
"How dare you! Who allowed you to stare at my wife like that?"
Noticing his gaze, Yuan Ying jumped out suddenly. Any man who knew some etiquette would not stare at a woman like that. The other party was simply too presumptuous.
"I···"
"What are you doing?"
Zhang Sheng was startled and looked away in panic. Wang Cuihua tugged at his sleeve fiercely, and while scolding him in a low voice, she couldn't help but curse Shen Xiangwan and Yue Ruyan as vixens in her heart. Aren't women who look like them just to seduce men?
Seeing through the woman's thoughts at a glance, Shen Xiangwan's eyes darkened: "If I remember correctly, we have already terminated our cooperation, right? What's the meaning of you running to my house and crying today?"
"Why are you saying so much? Let them be dragged to the government office."
Yue Ruyan, who also saw through them, said calmly that she herself didn't care, but she would never allow anyone to covet or disrespect Wanwan.
"No, don't."
Hearing this, Wang Cuihua screamed in panic, and Zhang Sheng was also a little overwhelmed: "Wei, Madam Wei, it was your unilateral decision to terminate the cooperation. We did not agree to it. You can't be so overbearing."
"Yes, we do not agree to terminate the cooperation!"
Zhang Sheng finally finished speaking in one breath, and Wang Cuihua quickly agreed. No matter what, they couldn't lose the Wei family's cash cow.
"You don't agree?"
Raising an eyebrow, Shen Xiangwan looked at them with a playful look in his eyes. Before the two companies cooperated, they were just a small kiln factory, and the money they earned was barely enough to make ends meet. After the two companies cooperated, in just one year, they became the largest kiln factory in Datong County, employing hundreds of people and making a lot of money. But how did they repay them?
They relied on their ability to supply the sufficient volume to raise prices time and again, raising prices unreasonably. The last time, they raised the price of just the blue and white porcelain wine bottles by twenty wen each. They were undoubtedly being taken advantage of, with such complete lack of integrity. If they weren't going to kick them out, would they keep them for the New Year? They disagreed? Why did they disagree? Wasn't this just the result they got for what they wanted?
“Yes, we disagree!”
It's not that he didn't notice the coldness in her eyes, but Zhang Sheng had to muster up the courage to repeat their position.
At the beginning, they were sure that the Wei family could not find a kiln factory bigger than theirs, and they were sure that they could only rely on them. They did not take their words of terminating the cooperation seriously at all, and continued to make a lot of wine bottles, wine jars and wine vats. They even thought about how to ask for a high price when the Wei family came to them again.
But they never dreamed that the Wei family would be so decisive. They would rather go through the trouble of cooperating with multiple kiln factories than go back to their former lover. No matter what, they must stabilize the Wei family first, or at least sell the things made at home to them.
"Why do you disagree? Do we have a purchase agreement?"
When they first started working together, they didn't think about the contract at all. Later, the two sides cooperated very well and they never mentioned signing a contract. This is why they were able to raise prices again and again and they couldn't do anything about it. But now it seems that the advantage is on their side.
"I···"
Zhang Sheng choked. They really didn't have a contract. When they decided to raise the price, they were happy about it. They thought it was great not to have a contract. Who could have thought that they would end up getting into trouble now?
"We don't have a contract, but we've been working together for so long. How can you just terminate it like that? Aren't you afraid that others will say your Wei family has no integrity?"
Seeing that her man was defeated, Wang Cuihua took a step forward, and her words contained both accusations and subtle threats.
"You're talking to me about integrity?"
Hearing this, Shen Xiangwan curled her lips in sarcasm: "Who is it that keeps raising the price unreasonably? The most basic principle of business is mutual consent. Since you think the money we offer is too little and you don't want to do it anymore, then we can find someone else. There should be nothing wrong with that, right?"
“We didn’t say the money you gave was too little…”
“Didn’t you raise the price?”
Wang Cuihua wanted to argue, but Shen Xiangwan interrupted her: "If you didn't think we paid too little, why would you raise the price?"
"I···"
Is she trying to say that it's easy to make money from them?
Wang Cuihua was speechless. She was also very worried when the price was raised for the first time, but Yuan Yue, who was responsible for contacting them, agreed after a little consideration, and she also tasted the sweetness.
The price was raised tentatively for the second time. Although Yuan Yue looked unhappy, she finally agreed. Therefore, they felt that the Wei family could not do without them.
When they proposed the price increase for the third time, they were feeling confident, but they didn't expect to hit a wall this time. They said they would terminate the cooperation and they really did it, leaving them no chance at all.
Are they really just going to accept their fate and become penniless again while holding those piles of jars and cans?
No, no, she didn't want to live that hard life of barely having enough food and clothing anymore.
