After hearing Ying Wuji's assurance, the merchants seemed to be comforted and expressed their gratitude: "Thank you, sir!"
Having said that, there was still a lingering look of sadness on his face.
After all, Ying Wuji had no experience in dealing with such things before, so it was possible for him to solve it together with Xun Zhiyin, but looking at the situation just now, it was obvious that Xun Zhiyin did not intend to take action, and it was good enough that he did not interfere.
They were truly touched, but they didn't think Ying Wuji could really do it.
Ying Wuji nodded slightly: "You're welcome! I'll take you out!"
Having said that, he took the merchants out.
Bai Zhi glared at Xun Zhiyin angrily and followed him. She was almost furious just now. If Ying Wuji hadn't stopped her with his eyes, she would have rolled up her sleeves and started fighting.
She didn't know why, but she used to feel unhappy about being restricted by the young master, but now she is willing to listen to him.
Xun Zhiyin watched them go away and couldn't help but smile contemptuously. He never thought that Ying Wuji could solve this matter. After all, he knew Ying Wuque too well. It was okay to follow the rules and maintain some face, but doing business... How could he succeed if he had never had any experience?
The reason why he stopped it was just to show his loyalty to Ying Wuque and his son. He didn't expect that this hostage really thought of himself as a god.
Let him do it. If he fails, it will be a disgrace to him. If he succeeds, it will be his own achievement to turn the embassy into a profitable one.
…
Outside the embassy.
Ying Wuji accompanied everyone for a long distance.
The leading merchant felt a little sorry and sighed, "Thank you for sending me off, sir. I'll just drop me off here!"
Ying Wuji smiled and said, "There's no rush. Now that the annoying person is gone, why don't we talk more about the paper business."
"this……"
The merchant turned around and looked, and found that he had reached the corner of the street. There were fewer people here, and it was very quiet, suitable for discussing business.
He couldn't help but look at Ying Wuji. Could it be that he really had a solution?
Why not give it a try!
He calmed down and said, "To be honest! Our paper shop is almost closed down. Sir, you also know our country's policies. Now the goods from the motherland have not stopped. They will not leave until the payment is made for each batch. Otherwise, they will stay here and eat our food and use our things.
Now the goods are piling up, there is no income, and we have to pay the payment for the goods from our home country.
If we can’t sell it within half a month, we’ll have to pack up and go home.”
"so……"
Ying Wuji frowned and thought.
The merchant couldn't help but ask, "Sir, do you really have a solution?"
Ying Wuji nodded: "There is a way, but the price may be a bit high for you."
The merchant asked anxiously, "What's the price?"
Ying Wuji asked, "Are you willing to sell the store to me? Everything will be at market price."
"this……"
Everyone looked at each other in surprise. They didn't expect that Ying Wuji's method would be to use his own money to cover the loss.
Anyway, their business can no longer be continued, and the only way out is to sell the store. If they sell it to the people of Yan State and Li State, the price will definitely be suppressed. Selling it at the market price is a good way to stop the loss.
But everyone was still a little hesitant. After all, it was all their hard work, and they had not yet reached the point of complete bankruptcy.
Moreover, if they lost their livelihood, they would have to return to their home country, otherwise they would be charged with treason.
The people in the country are very fond of farming and fighting. After returning, most of them can only farm. If they want to turn things around, they can only join the army and fight on the battlefield. It's suffocating just to think about it.
Ying Wuji added: "After you sell it to me, you can also stay and work here. You can continue to do what you did before. Your former boss will become the manager. I can guarantee that your wages will be no less than before, and you can also stay in Gan Country."
Hearing this, everyone's eyes turned red. Who wouldn't want to stay in Li?
Someone immediately nodded in agreement: "Okay! We will listen to you, Master!"
Anyway, I have someone to back me up, and I can still stay in Li to work, so I won't lose out no matter how I look at it.
As for the fact that his own property became Ying Wuji's... although he felt a little disappointed, it was not a problem at all. After all, he didn't make much money as a boss before.
Under Ying Wuji's guidance, everyone estimated the value of their own paper shops and informed Ying Wuji.
Ying Wuji smiled and said, "You guys go back and wait for me for a day. After a day, I will bring you back to life!"
After saying that, he took Bai Zhi away.
Everyone looked at Ying Wuji's back and felt relieved.
"Looking at how confident you are, you must have a solution."
"I heard that the young master has been having a hard time recently. No wonder he refused to tell Old Dog Xun just now. If he was really just helping, then Old Dog Xun would have taken all the benefits. Now that the store belongs to the young master, he can make some money."
"I think he just wants our store..."
"Don't talk nonsense! Can you run this store by yourself? It will just be sold at a low price. Now the young master can give you a guaranteed price and the opportunity to stay in Li and work. Are you still not satisfied?"
"Yes! If you feel wronged, you can just not sell it. Then you can go back to the country by yourself."
When the phrase “return to Gan Country” was mentioned, everyone shuddered.
The name of "the country of tigers and wolves" is well deserved by the State of Gan, not only to other vassal states, but also to its own people.
Ever since "The Book of Lord Shang" became the policy for governing the country, the number of people starving to death has indeed decreased, but everyone is feeling depressed and unable to breathe. Compared to doing business in the State of Li, everyone knows which one is more comfortable.
…
On the way back to the embassy.
Bai Zhi's pretty face wrinkled with worry: "Master! Where did we get seven thousand taels? The embassy's expenses for several months may not even be enough to cover this amount."
