Chapter 496 It would be nice if the elder sister was here, so the elder sister came
After leaving the capital, Su Liheng understood a truth.
It turned out that the reason why his business was so successful in Beijing was all because of his elder sister and the Su family.
It was only when he arrived in Guangling City that he realized that without the help of Wanli Chamber of Commerce, it would be too difficult to reach Guangling City in the south!
Although Li Jiulang reminded him that cooperating with the Wanli Chamber of Commerce was a good thing, he also had to keep a backup plan. Therefore, Su Liheng found many merchant families in the south like the Ruxin family who could no longer do business and bought a lot of shops from them.
And just as Li Jiulang said, the Wanli Chamber of Commerce had originally had very good negotiations with him, but suddenly, the people from the Wanli Chamber of Commerce said they did not intend to cooperate with him.
Although it was expected, Su Liheng had already invested the money, and the cooperation was suddenly terminated when it was just starting to operate, which gave Su Liheng a headache for a while, but fortunately he had a backup plan.
However, Wanli Chamber of Commerce suddenly interfered!
He bought a shop in Guangling, but the workshops for making Dianjiangchun rouge and those around Honglou were still located in Su's farm outside the capital.
So if goods need to be transported here, more and faster transportation can be achieved by river transportation.
So Su Liheng thought of transporting one batch of goods by land and another batch by river.
Unexpectedly, the cargo in the river was stuck.
It wasn't those gangsters in the water transport industry, after all, Su Liheng had made many arrangements, but it was the river transport office, with a lot of excuses, that got stuck.
Even though they had the sign of an imperial merchant and documents from the Ministry of Revenue, those people still insisted on following the rules and that all the goods had to be inspected before they could be released. Furthermore, there was such a rule in the rules of the Daxia River. Even if the goods were from the Ministry of Revenue, unless the emperor himself ordered it, any problems had to be inspected.
Su Liheng went there in person and found out that it was done by the Xu family and the Tan family of Wanli Chamber of Commerce, especially the Xu family, because they were in charge of the shipyard, so the canal transportation was basically dominated by the Xu family, and the official was also surnamed Xu.
Even though Xu Lezhi, who was originally from Wanli Chamber of Commerce, had a very good relationship with him, because of the incident with Xu Zuiyin and Xu Ren, Xu Lezhi was basically kicked out and had no say at all, and could not help Su Liheng at all.
But if only the goods were seized, it’s actually nothing.
But it happened that it was these grandsons of the Xu family who, without Su Liheng's knowledge, opened all their shops in Guangling and began to advertise heavily. Only then did they send the news of the seizure of the goods to Su Liheng.
The shop opened, the advertisement was put out, and many people were waiting for the opening day.
There weren’t many goods!
This matter was Su Liheng's fault, because he was too successful in the capital, and with the support of the imperial merchants, the Ministry of Revenue, the Su family and Su Changan, he thought he could do anything.
So Su Liheng didn't think much about many things.
You have to think about it later, this kind of accident happened.
Su Liheng stood by the window. The little fat boy was still the little fat boy, but he was thinner than when he was in Beijing, and there was a lot more worry between his brows.
Xu Lezhi walked into the room at this time, shook his head and sighed, "Liheng, I went to find a clerk at the Hedao Yamen and asked him carefully. The Xu family said that they would wait for a month after we opened for business before releasing the goods, but by then the daylilies would be cold. It seems that they want to make us lose our trust and ruin our reputation before they are satisfied."
The most important thing in doing business is credit and reputation. Once it is ruined, there is basically no chance of recovering!
Su Liheng clenched his fists when he heard this, and then took a few deep breaths. He remembered what Li Jiulang had told him, that when encountering difficulties in the south, he must remember to remain calm and cautious, business is not important, what is important is how you deal with these things.
He also remembered more carefully what his elder sister had said to him before: "When you are in doubt, curse a few times to let out your anger. This way you will be able to calm down and come up with a solution."
but.
In just these few days, Su Liheng has scolded the old lady of the Xu family countless times, but there is still nothing he can do.
Xu Lezhi looked at Su Liheng and said, "How about we sell all the goods we have on hand tomorrow, and then temporarily close the business, and tell the public that we are waiting for the next batch of goods?"
Su Liheng shook his head: "We did too much publicity, and we will lose our credibility. Besides, Brother Xu, we don't have enough goods. You know we brought a small amount of goods to Guangling in order to hurry up. They are all samples for promotion and free trials. The bulk of them are on the river. What we have on hand is not enough. Fortunately, I was careful and did not accept the order. Otherwise, you would have seen how many people wanted to place an order. And the Xu family and the Tan family are a bunch of idiots who have calculated it accurately. Even if we can find a way to delay the customers now, it will take at least 20 days to transport the goods by land. And they will release them after a month, just like you said, and the opportunity will be gone!"
Xu Lezhi frowned, then looked at Su Liheng: "How about I go and ask my uncle for help? My face is nothing."
Su Liheng shook his head: "It's useless to be humble, and the more humble we are, the more proud these dogs will be. Besides, you have already made them proud by going there. Have you forgotten? In the past two days, the people from the Xu family and several other families have started to say that the Queen's brother has to look at their faces when he comes to Guangling to do business. We can't bring shame to my elder sister anymore."
Xu Lezhi gritted his teeth in hatred. He used to think that he had a good relationship with the people from Wanli Chamber of Commerce, but he didn't expect that he would be kicked out. These people immediately turned their faces and ignored him. That is, Liu Shaoyang and Zhou Xian, who had been friends before, secretly sent him messages. But these two people were also insignificant and could not do anything.
Su Liheng sat on the stool and frowned: "This is my fault for being too confident. I started to promote the product before the product arrived. Dianjiang Lip has a great reputation, and I was too anxious. And when the contract was terminated, Prime Minister Li reminded me, but I didn't pay attention. I thought how dare the Xu family!"
Xu Lezhi looked at Su Liheng and blamed himself, because he didn't expect the Xu family to really confiscate Su Liheng's goods. Looking up at Su Liheng, Xu Lezhi said, "It's my fault too. The Xu family probably hates me for being with you now. They also hate my father for dealing with Xu Ren."
Su Liheng looked at Xu Lezhi and smiled. After this incident, Su Liheng heard this a lot, so he immediately laughed and scolded: "Brother! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't even understand a lot of dialects here. What are you saying? And you are older than me, why do you keep apologizing to me! However, for our matter, I have to think about how my elder sister would deal with it. If she were here, there would definitely be a way."
Xu Lezhi looked at Su Liheng, wanting to say something but stopping himself because he saw that Su Liheng was starting to think of a solution.
But he really had no other choice. He had been running around like crazy these past few days to find all the connections in Guangling City. Those people had probably been warned by the Xu family. They either refused to see him directly or spoke coldly to him when they did.
On the other side of the river, he had so much money in his hands that he seemed unable to give it away.
Su Liheng murmured to himself: "My elder sister would definitely not think about closing the store or postponing business. She would definitely think about keeping these customers and then find a way..."
When he said this, Su Liheng stretched out his hand and pinched his brows, he couldn't figure it out! !
If I had the brains of my elder sister, would I be like this now?
My elder sister is so cautious in what she does, how could such a thing happen?
Thinking of this, Su Liheng pinched his nose.
There is definitely no way to think of a solution.
After all, I have been thinking about this for a few days.
After all, even if we can think of a way to delay the customer, the goods will take at least twenty days to arrive, which is really not enough time!
But even if you can’t think of it, you have to think about it, otherwise the Dianjiangchun brand will be ruined tomorrow.
After all, the overwhelming advertisements say that the store will open tomorrow, the last day of March, and will have all the goods you want.
If we postpone it tomorrow or something, there will definitely be criticism. I’m afraid the Xu family will add fuel to the fire and our credibility will be lost.
Xu Lezhi looked at Su Liheng, a boy of only fifteen or sixteen years old. He felt guilty and thought about how shameless those people in the Xu family were. They killed a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy like this! They had no sense of shame!
She was angry and glad that she had followed her father and left the Xu family, but she also thought that she had harmed Su Liheng.
Su Liheng frowned. He could feel hungry, but he definitely couldn't eat. This incident had completely lost his appetite.
It would be nice if my elder sister was here.
At this moment.
"Boss, someone outside is looking for you. He says he's your acquaintance in the capital." The voice of Su Liheng's follower came from outside.
Su Liheng raised his eyes and looked towards the door: "An acquaintance?"
Xu Lezhi walked over and opened the door. The attendant outside said respectfully, "They are a few women who say they are your acquaintances in the capital. They look like people from the underworld and all carry knives. The one who is talking is very good-looking. There is also one who looks like she is from Rao Jiang's side."
Very beautiful? With a knife? And Rao Jiang's
Su Liheng was stunned for a moment, but couldn't help but think of a possibility, but shook his head, feeling that it was unlikely.
Xu Lezhi looked at his followers: "Nothing else?"
The attendant was stunned for a moment and shook his head, but then he remembered something and said, "A woman said she was my younger brother or something, but I didn't hear it clearly."
Su Liheng was stunned for a moment: "Ah?!"
