Chapter 191 Counterfeit Products
Lin Xi looked unremarkable, and no one expected her to suddenly take out 1,000 taels of silver.
But the banknote is right in front of us, and no one can deny it.
Wang Qi immediately got angry. What did the two people opposite him mean? Are they trying to act rich in front of his Yulou Wang family? Don’t they have money?
"Boss, I want all the silk rice paper you produce in the future, no matter how much you have!" Wang Qi slammed the table and shouted, "I can lose to anyone in the world, but not to the Wang family of Tongque."
Lin Xi glanced at the other party with a half-smile, "Empty words are not enough. Even if you say so now, can you still insist on it? I don't believe that we can't buy anything with the money."
Wang Qi became even more annoyed. For so many years, he, Wang Qi, had been respected wherever he went under the name of Yulou Wang family. Not to mention Wang Jing, even this country girl in front of him looked down on him. If he didn't do something, the Wang family would lose face.
"Boss, bring me some paper and pen. I'll sign the document with you today. Wang Jing, don't even think about buying a piece of silk rice paper from Jiamu Pavilion!"
Wang Qi picked up his pen and began to draft the document. Lin Xi and Wang Jing just crossed their arms and watched each other write.
Soon, a contract was written, and at Lin Xi's request, Wang Qi signed the contract with the shopkeeper in front of them.
In this way, even if it is found by the government, it will definitely be effective.
"How about it," Wang Qi proudly showed off the deed in his hand, "Do you still think you can buy it now?"
Lin Xi silently put away his banknotes. In Wang Qi's opinion, this action was clearly an admission of defeat.
He was even more proud in his heart, looking at the two of them with an arrogant look, "Actually, as long as you are willing to kneel down and kowtow to me, I can consider giving you some rice paper."
Lin Xi reminded again, "Master Wang, please don't buy something worthless just because you're angry with us."
"Not worth it?" Wang Qi didn't think so. As soon as silk rice paper came out, it caused a sensation in the capital, and everyone who used it praised this kind of paper.
To put it bluntly, Wang Qi has obtained the exclusive agency rights for silk rice paper, and he will never have to worry about not being able to sell it in the future.
Although he was indeed angry with Wang Jing, Wang Qi was not a fool and would naturally weigh the pros and cons.
Wang Jing knew this, and Lin Xi knew this too.
However, there is a saying in this world that being too clever may lead to mistakes.
"Mr. Wang, do you know that the silk rice paper from Jiamu Pavilion is not authentic?" Lin Xi said slowly.
Before Wang Qi could say anything, the shopkeeper got angry and said, "Miss, we have no grudges in the past or in the present, why are you framing Jiamu Pavilion right away?"
Lin Xi was so angry that she almost laughed, "No grudge? You're selling fake goods under the guise of silk rice paper, so of course you're blocking my way. There's an old saying that goes, blocking someone's path to wealth is like killing their parents. If this isn't a grudge, then what else is?"
The shopkeeper was so angry at Lin Xi's words, "Young lady, our Jiamu Pavilion is the only seller of silk rice paper!"
"Really? Do you dare to say with certainty that there is real silk in this silk rice paper?" Lin Xi asked.
The shopkeeper was furious. "As the name suggests, our Xuan paper does not contain silk. How can it be called silk Xuan paper?"
Lin Xi just smiled and said nothing. According to the test of Shennong system, there was not a single silk in the so-called silk rice paper of Jiamu Pavilion.
All we can say is that Jiamuge has figured out some new way to improve the flexibility of paper, but that has nothing to do with silk.
"You! You are slandering us. Our Jiamu Pavilion has been operating in the capital for many years and has never had any credibility issues!" The shopkeeper's face turned red with anger.
Jiamu Pavilion does have a very good reputation in the capital. When others heard her say this, they all looked at Lin Xi with some disapproval.
"Really?" Lin Xi looked at the other person with a half-smile. "In such a big city like Jiamu Pavilion, there is a place to raise silkworms. Does anyone know that all the cocoons must be used in the production process of silk rice paper? Do you know what to pay attention to when feeding silkworms?"
Lin Xi paused and said, "May I ask, shopkeeper, is there anyone in Jiamu Pavilion who can answer my question?"
The series of question marks really stunned the shopkeeper. Even Wang Qi felt like he was almost suffocating. Did he really invest in a fake business?
"You," the shopkeeper immediately thought of a new excuse, "we don't raise silkworms ourselves, we buy them from other people's homes."
Lin Xi looked at the other party. "Even if what the shopkeeper said is reasonable, if you want to collect silkworms, then who will be responsible? How to identify the quality of the cocoons? Which cocoons are usable and which are not usable? Can anyone explain it clearly?"
Another series of questions, the shopkeeper almost went crazy.
At this moment, Wang Qi suddenly reacted, "I'm afraid this woman of yours was sent by another store to cause trouble!"
This sentence enlightened the shopkeeper. He had never felt that Wang Qi's words made so much sense.
"I think you are clearly sent by your colleagues to cause trouble. Wait for me, I want to report to the police!" said the shopkeeper.
Lin Xi smiled and said, "If the shopkeeper really wants to do good for the store, I advise you not to report it to the police. Wait until the whole city is in an uproar and the reputation of Jiamu Pavilion is completely ruined. You won't be able to save it even if you want to."
Wang Jing also said at this moment, "Boss, the forces in the capital are complicated and intricate. You are not the only one who can speak a few words in front of the government."
The shopkeeper's excited footsteps suddenly stopped. Wang Jing was right. He could indeed report to the authorities, but the Tongque Wang family was not someone to be trifled with.
After all, there is no great reason behind them opening the store.
"Actually, I didn't mean anything by saying that just now. I just wanted to verify whether Jiamu Pavilion actually uses silk." Lin Xi put on a look of great pity. "From the reaction just now, it seems that Jiamu Pavilion does not use silk. In this case, how dare you claim that this is silk rice paper?"
After that, Lin Xi took out another piece of rice paper from his pocket and placed it in front of everyone. "Please look, everyone. What I have in my left hand is the so-called silk rice paper of Jiamu Pavilion, and what I have in my right hand is the silk rice paper of my Yanxing Pavilion. You can see that no matter the color, gloss, or softness, the paper of my Yanxing Pavilion is superior."
Everyone took the two pieces of paper from Lin Xi's hand and compared them together. It was obvious that the paper from Yanxing Pavilion was better.
"It's true. Look at this piece of paper. It feels slippery, just like tofu."
"I said you are still a scholar, but your description is so poor, it's clearly just white clouds in the sky and the summer evening breeze."
After hearing this, the others didn't want to talk anymore, as the level of these two people was not very good.
"Madam, can you let me try writing on this paper?"
Lin Xi would naturally not miss such a good opportunity for publicity, "Of course."
