Chapter 319 You Come and I Go

Through word of mouth word of mouth among readers, the four major bookstores of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce have been very popular recently, and the bookstores are crowded every day.

On the contrary, Lu's bookstore was really deserted during these two days.

On this day, the shopkeeper of Lu's bookstore couldn't help but said to the scholars coming and going, "You have all been fooled. Don't look at the cheap snow-gloss paper sold in the bookstore opposite. Just wait until he sells Lu's books." If the store is closed because of the rush, he will definitely raise the price!”

"The book store opposite is weak. If our Lu family doesn't open a book store, you won't have new books to read. Just wait and cry."

These words made the scholar feel anxious.

Wu Ren naturally had to refute the rumors, "Don't worry, everyone. On behalf of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce, I hereby announce that our snow-gloss paper will never increase in price within three years! After three years, the price may be adjusted appropriately depending on the situation. But I promise , the price adjustment will not exceed 30%.”

When the scholars heard this, half of their hearts were put back into their stomachs, but...

At this time, Wu Ren said again, "As for new books, don't worry, our book store will have new books on the market every month, with a guarantee of ten copies. If you have an original copy, you can also rent it to our book store for a period of time. Correspondingly, Our bookstore will give high rent.”

As a result, the scholars were completely relieved, and then discussed the rental of the original copy.

"Shopkeeper, I have an orphan copy. If I rent it to your bookstore, how long will it take to return it to me? How much rent can you give me?"

"Little brother, let's talk about the title of the book you have..."

Lu family

Lu Yuan asked the elders and principals of the Lu family present, "Do you have any good ideas regarding the current situation?"

Those present were all the elites of the Lu family, and everyone began to whisper and discuss with each other.

When fighting with the Chen family, they were always coming up with ideas.

Now they have to deal with the new Liaodong Chamber of Commerce bookstore. To be honest, they are a little helpless and feel like there is nothing they can do.

The problem with the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce bookstore is that the quality of the books and paper is not inferior to that of their Lu family bookstore. The key is that the other party's price is only half of their Lu family's.

Are they going to lower their prices to compete with them? If this does not work, not only will it not solve the problem, it may also be counterproductive and arouse the anger in the reader's heart.

Lu Yuan felt more tired than ever before.

Lu Yuan never understood why the matter had reached such a serious stage?

Someone suggested, "Master, how about we invite the old master back?"

"Yes, please come back, old master!"

Lu Yuan hesitated. Before he could answer, at this moment, the door of the meeting hall was pushed open from the outside.

First, two rows of people filed in, then stood separately, and then two people walked in against the light.

This battle——

Lu Yuan suddenly stood up, "Dad, why are you back?"

Lu Yuanheng snorted coldly and cursed, "You idiot, if I don't come back, you will destroy the Lu family's industry!"

Lu Yuan felt that he could not be blamed for this matter.

"Lu Xihua committed such a thing, why are you still protecting him? It's okay to protect him, why can't you do it secretly? You actually cover him openly, are you afraid of ruining the name of our Lu family? ?”

Lu Yuan was scolded by his own father.

He really felt that he was wronged! After him, after so many scholars boycotted their Lu family, they no longer took care of Lu Xihua.

The Sheriff can handle it if he wants. He will definitely have no problem with it.

But the Sheriff has never dealt with it. He can't directly tell the Sheriff to throw Lu Xihua out to vent the anger of the Chen family, right?

Lu Yuan didn't know that he was actually taking the blame. The Sheriff has been suppressed and did not deal with Lu Xihua, just to keep irritating the Chen family.

"Dad, what should we do now?" Lu Yuan asked.

Lu Yuanheng said calmly, "You should give up your position as the head of the family."

Lu Yuan was shocked, "What?!"

"You don't need to be so surprised. Now the Lu family is at a critical juncture of life and death. If you can't solve it, leave it to someone who can."

"Dad, who are you talking about? Who has a solution?"

"Lu Fei!"

Lu Fei took a step forward and said, "Dad, it is me who my grandfather is talking about."

"You?!" Lu Yuan didn't expect that one day his eldest daughter would come to compete with him for the position of head of the family! "Dad, is this not a joke?"

Lu Yuanheng said calmly, "I have no intention of joking with you."

Others were also stunned. Is the Lu family going to have a female head? !

"Why?" Lu Yuan asked his father.

Lu Yuanheng: "I said, she can solve the current predicament and crisis of the Lu family. Isn't this reason enough?"

If this is true, certainly enough.

Lu Yuan didn't believe it at all, "Can she solve it? How can she solve it?"

At this time, Lu Fei interrupted, "Grandpa, let me say a few words?"

"The current crisis for our Lu family lies in two points. First, the Chen family is pursuing and attacking us fiercely. We, the Lu family, have to brace ourselves to deal with it, which is a constant consumption of strength. Second, the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce Book Store is attacking our Lu family. The impact of his bookstore."

Lu Fei's words were very to the point, and everyone present nodded. The current situation of the Lu family is equivalent to when the forest guards of the Lu and Chen families were fighting to the death. Part of the orchard behind them was occupied by the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce. They wanted to stop it, but they were too eccentric and powerless.

If they continue to be attacked by two sides like this, the Lu family will fall before the Chen family.

Lu Yuan said sarcastically, "Well said, which one can you solve?"

"It's very simple to solve the first problem, just let Chen stop."

Indeed, if Chen stopped, both Chen and Lu families could survive. Now both Chen and Lu are strangling each other's necks mercilessly. The Lu family wants to let go, but the Chen family won't let go, so the Lu family can only be forced to strangle back.

Lu Yuan thought she was thinking too well. If the Chen family listened to his advice, would he still be helpless?

"The Chen family will not stop." So many people died in the Chen family, and they unilaterally announced that they had a blood feud with them.

Lu Fei smiled, she knew that when she successfully took over the Lu family. Xie Zhan would also start to act, and when he took over the Chen family, it would be impossible for him to confront the Lu family.

"Then use the second method. At present, it can be said that the Lu family and the Chen family have both suffered losses in the fight. Now whoever can get a living silver money can gain the upper hand in this fight."

"And I can get a large amount of funds. The Ruan family promised to lend me 300,000 taels of silver."

This is the most important thing. Since the fight between the two families began, they have been continuously investing money. Now all the funds of the Lu family have been invested, and everyone's pockets are empty. Now the South is in chaos, and everyone is busy with their own affairs and has no money to borrow.

Now, no matter which family, if there is a sum of money flowing in, it is equivalent to an additional external force, which may become the key to winning or losing this fight.

"After solving the Chen family, we will slowly clean up the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce Bookstore. There will always be a way."

Lu Fei's words were initially recognized by the Lu family elders and the principals.

The method she provided at least solved the urgent problem.

The head of the family also asked the Ruan family, but the Ruan family refused to lend. Now they have lent it to their granddaughter. It turns out that they want to help their granddaughter to get promoted.

Lu Yuan is not a very capable head of the family. It is only because the Lu family bookstore is very powerful that the Lu family has not gone downhill because of him.

People are content. The Lu family has been forced to fight with the Chen family for so long, and the clan members have suffered heavy losses with the clan. They don't want to fight anymore. Now Lu Fei has shown certain abilities, and she still has the support of the old head of the family. The elders and the leaders have no objection to her becoming the next head of the family.

The most important thing is that they currently have only two choices, either to change the head of the family or to die. Therefore, even if changing the head of the family is a temporary solution, the Lu family will give it a try!

So, Lu Fei was ordered to become the new head of the Lu family.

Upon learning that Lu Fei would become the next head of the family, her personal maid was in a trance. After she came to her senses, she said, "It's a pity that the Lu family is not what it used to be."

Lu Fei smiled. She knew that if the Lu family had not experienced this disaster and had not been seriously injured, she would not have been able to become the head of the family. No matter how big the pancake is, it is useless if it is not hers. No matter how small the pancake is, it belongs to her and it is also very fragrant.

In the evening, the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce Bookstore Dongcheng Store

"Please make way, please make way, thank you." Wu Ren led the way in front, and several men behind him followed him with boxes.

It was almost closing time. In the bookstore, a familiar scholar asked Wu Ren, "Manager Wu, what are you doing?"

Wu Ren smiled and said, "It's okay, don't think too much."

What he said made people more curious.

The scholars in the store looked outside and saw Wu Ren outside the bookstore, distributing shoulder poles to the people below. There were already many boxes piled up at his feet, all of which were just delivered by others.

The men who were assigned the shoulder poles picked up two boxes tied with hemp ropes and left.

The scholars gathered together, discussing in groups of three or four.

"What's in these boxes? They feel heavy?"

"I guess it's the revenue from the past few days."

"I think so too. The small box is filled with silver, right? The big box is filled with copper coins?"

"This bookstore has just opened for three days. How much money has it made?"

"They are already very cheap. They make the money they deserve."

"Yeah, we can't just focus on how much money they make. We also have to see if we benefit."

"No, no, no, what I mean is, before the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce bookstore opened, didn't Lu's bookstore make a lot of money?"

"Should we follow them and see where they carry the silver?"

"Carry it home. Where else can they carry it?"

"No, Manager Wu said he lives in the west of the city."

"But they are heading south of the city now."

"Let's go, let's follow them and see. Anyway, the bookstore is about to close."

Ji's Bank

Today, many people are still queuing to withdraw money.

Young Master Ji is standing outside the bank looking forward to it.

Many people saw his look.

"Is Master Ji waiting for someone?"

"It seems so."

"Who is he? Is he waiting outside so early?"

As soon as Wu Ren appeared, Master Ji went to meet him, "Manager Wu, you are here?"

"Yes, Master Ji, these are the revenues of the four bookstores of our Liaodong Chamber of Commerce for three days. Please count them."

"Okay, okay. After counting, will they all be deposited in our bank?"

"Yes."

In the lobby, the people who were waiting to withdraw money were silent when they heard this.

Then, these boxes were lined up in the lobby, and the bank's clerks began to count them.

It took seven or eight clerks less than half an hour to finish the counting. After counting, the silver and money were deposited in the bank one by one.

Ordinary people looked at each other, do they still need to withdraw money?

Wu Ren's move to deposit live money was equivalent to injecting a stream of blood into Ji's bank and giving the people a reassurance.

Taking another look, there was still a pile of gold and silver in the lobby of Ji's bank. Now Liaodong Chamber of Commerce Bookstore has deposited so much money, and it is impossible to withdraw it all.

Since then, the bank run crisis of Ji's bank has been completely resolved.

When the two pieces of news, one good and one bad, came to Xie Zhan, Xie Zhan knew that his previous decision was right and he should really close the net slowly.
