Gu Junshan entrusted the task of appeasing the individual merchants to Ru Bo.
He drew his sword from his attendant!
Let's get started in a flurry!
He shouted sternly, "The Gu family's roots are in Daxing Town, and they will never run away. As for the cloth you bought from the Gu family, I will definitely take it back!"
"I'll be right back!"
Gu Junshan, who was in his early forties, displayed such imposing manner, mounted his horse to intimidate others, and even drew his sword to strike, leaving everyone speechless for a moment.
Someone shouted, "Judging from this situation, Young Master Gu has been ripped off and is going to be beaten to death by Old Master Gu!"
Ru Bo said in a deep voice, "The Gu family will definitely give everyone an explanation!"
Over there, Young Master Gu was having a wonderful dream, lying in the carriage and looking forward to the future, when he suddenly heard someone calling from behind!
His expression immediately changed.
"You beast! Dismount at once!"
Young Master Gu retorted, his neck stiff, "Father, you don't understand me at all!"
Gu Junshan tightened the reins, and the horse reared up!
donkey!
A person was lying across the roadside.
Gu Junshan, exuding murderous intent, pointed his sword at him at an angle!
"You've been tricked by Mei Liulang. This is a trap. The Gu family's cloth business has fallen into their hands. You've thrown away half of the Gu family's fortune. Why don't you turn back now and return the cloth to the individual customers!"
"That's impossible!"
"The business in Yingzhou Prefecture can't be fake, can it?"
Gu Junshan rubbed his forehead, his voice hoarse as he said, "Fool! If nothing unexpected happens, do you think all the business excitement is just something they're putting on for you on purpose!"
Finally, under Gu Junshan's oppressive presence, Gu Er lowered his proud head.
His head drooped to his chest.
Gu Junshan sternly rebuked the hesitant followers.
Gu'er said helplessly, "Let's go back."
Gu Junshan looked at him expressionlessly, his face growing even colder.
Not long after, the father and son arrived at the shop in Yingzhou Prefecture.
The waiter, bored out of his mind, propped his elbows on the table and said listlessly to the passing crowd, "Come and take a look, Gu family's finest silk fabric."
Unfortunately, there was no indication that anyone would come in.
With a stiff expression, Gu Er asked the shop assistant, "How's business? I'll be away for a few days."
"Young Master, you're finally back?"
The shop assistant, as if he had found a pillar of support, shrank back and stammered, "For the first few days, it was alright, I could sell a few dozen horses. But in the next few days, it got less and less, and yesterday there were none at all!"
"?"
Gu Junshan sneered, "Fool, do you know you've been set up?"
"Pack your things, see if you can vacate the house, quickly take the cloth back, find Mei Liulang, and redeem the cloth shop. That's the only way to recover the losses."
I've been scammed!
Even now, Gu Er still couldn't quite believe it!
Fifteen minutes later!
"Refund? No way!"
The people at the brokerage firm looked at Gu Er as if he were an idiot.
Several burly attendants silently watched him from the side.
Gu Junshan remained calm and cupped his hands, saying, "I am from Lushang County. I had a fight with my son, and he insisted on coming to the prefectural city to prove himself."
Now that I've seen reality clearly, the shop has been rented for less than a month. Can I get a refund for the remaining five months' rent?
The broker suddenly became serious: "Sir, do you know any important people in the prefectural city?"
"No."
"Do you have any descendants in your family who are studying for the imperial examinations in the prefectural city?"
No, not at all.
"Did any of your ancestors produce any extraordinary figures?"
"No, not at all."
"Then what the hell are you doing, acting all high and mighty in front of me? Are you an idiot? This is the prefectural capital, not your tiny county town! Get lost."
The guy mocked him.
Gu Junshan trembled all over; he had never suffered such humiliation before.
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "You seem like an honest old man. I'm just kindly reminding you that the contract in black and white says you can use that shop for business as you please, and no one will care if you even take a bath inside!"
"We definitely won't refund the money."
Gu Er, caught up in his passion, was about to start cursing!
Clap clap clap!
Gu Junshan raised his hand and slapped the other person in the face.
Soon, hundreds of bolts of cloth were moved out of the shop.
The shop assistants at Wang's Cloth Shop weren't far away, and they could see the chaos from a distance.
"Shopkeeper, that person has left."
Shopkeeper Wang scoffed, "They've messed with the wrong people. Leaving early will at least mitigate their losses."
On the way back, Gu Er felt as if all the bones in his body had been removed.
Lying in the carriage, he kept muttering, "Who is plotting against me? Who?"
Gu Junshan sat wearily in a corner, looking at his foolish son with disgust!
It's certain that Gu's store and goods will not be returned.
We can't let this go, there's still hope, we can start all over again!
It's just a matter of renting a shop, hiring people, and getting the work done again. With the Gu family's established reputation, they can get back on their feet quickly.
The Gu family also had a large order from the south, and Gu Junshan gritted his teeth and held on.
The Gu family will never fall!
...
The news spread extremely quickly.
Everyone was sighing, realizing that educating children was even more important than business.
You're working so hard to earn money, but you can't withstand the chaos and mischief at home.
The way Gu Jia was appeased was also extremely skillful.
On the one hand, given the Gu family's mistake this time, Gu Junshan will give each individual merchant one to ten bolts of silk yarn, depending on the number of orders.
On the other hand, Gu Junshan rented a large shop in the town again and recruited the craftsmen from the Gu family, raising their salaries even higher!
