"… What, what should we do …"
Seeing the priceless "Colored Glass of the Heavenly Palace" sold one set after another, but the amount of money they got back was very little. The loophole in the accounts was getting bigger and bigger. The junior manager almost wanted to cry but had no tears. Who didn't know what those rich ladies were like? ,
The Merchant Alliance was half public and half private. However, to these noble ladies who came from powerful families, it was completely their private property. They would just give some money or write an IOU, which was considered polite. If they didn't stand on ceremony, they would directly ask for it.
With the items in the hands of these women, the junior manager didn't even need to think to know that those IOUs couldn't be turned into money.
The little steward was extremely worried and told this matter to the chief steward.
The chief manager was also full of lawsuits and was in a dilemma.
His sister also bought a few sets of "Colored Glass of the Heavenly Palace" on credit. He secretly told his sister about it, but she didn't care at all. The chief manager couldn't do anything about it. The rich ladies of the Northern borderline were favored. Even if they were married, they still had a high status in their family.
These women didn't hesitate to spend money and were even more diligent in taking their own things. The financial loophole of the business was getting bigger and bigger.
The junior manager was so worried that his hair was about to turn white. He muttered and complained, "These women are willing to pay for Gu Xin. I've never seen them write IOUs in the past … Why are they all taking it for free now … They're really not polite …"
The chief manager said impatiently, "Gu Xin is a businessman from Dongqing. He does business according to the rule of cash and goods. You can't get the goods if you don't pay, but the business is the family of these women. When have you ever seen the Chao Family pay their bills properly? "
The junior manager shrank his neck and said in horror, "But … this isn't a solution …"
If the "Colored Glass of the Heavenly Palace" was divided up by these rich ladies, the business would have to pay a large sum of money.
If this financial loophole wasn't closed, when the higher-ups checked the accounts, no one could afford to bear the consequences.
With no other choice, the chief manager could only think of a solution that wasn't really a solution.
On the surface, they said that the "Colored Glass of the Heavenly Palace" had been sold out, but in private, they sold it at a lower price than the average price to a noblewoman of a slightly lower status. These noblewomen all had one thing in common: their maiden families were not involved in the business, or their status in the business was not high.
Even though they were selling at a low price, the price they set was still more than double the original price of the purchase.
There were many rich ladies in the Northern Borderline. In the past, the "Colored Glass of the Heavenly Palace" was almost monopolized by the first-class ladies. Others couldn't buy it even if they wanted to. But now, there was "illegal goods" delivered to their doorstep. The price was also reasonable, far lower than the highest value in their hearts, so they bought it with a wave of their hands.
Thus, the firm successfully sold a batch of "Colored Glass of the Heavenly Palace" and made a lot of money every day.
If everything went smoothly, when all the inventory was sold, the financial hole could be closed.
Unfortunately, things didn't go according to one's wishes. Just as the situation was looking good, something happened to the prodigal woman at home.
It all started at a banquet.
The "Azure Glass of the Heavenly Palace" had almost become the standard for the high-class ladies of the Northern Borderline. It symbolized great wealth and power. Every time they went out to meet guests, they had to wear a set. When they found out that the firm also had a lot of "Colored Glass of the Heavenly Palace", they couldn't contain their joy and changed a set every day.
This banquet was no exception.
The three tribes of the Northern Borderline had a strict racial division. There was a clear hierarchy among them, and no one was allowed to overstep their authority.
Wu Liba's wife was undoubtedly the cream of the crop among all the ladies.
As the first lady, what she hated the most were those pretentious Central Plains women and those female slaves who used their looks to please others.
No one would have thought that she would disregard her bearing and directly scratch the beautiful face of a certain noble's beloved concubine.
The concubine was originally sitting in a remote corner talking to someone. When Wu Liba's wife came up to hit her, she didn't even react.
"Who let a lowly female slave wear the" Colored Glass of the Heavenly Palace "! With a body of lowly flesh, do you think you deserve it! "
Wu Liba's wife grabbed all the jewelry off the concubine's head and ruthlessly threw them on the ground. Glass shards fell all over the ground, and those who were close by were even bounced off. They were so frightened that they subconsciously distanced themselves. After hearing Wu Liba's wife's words, the ladies finally understood what had happened.
A female slave's concubine actually dared to wear the same precious "Colored Glass of the Heavenly Palace" as them?
The ladies were furious, but Wu Liba's wife had already gone forward to whip someone, so they didn't interfere.
The concubine was also beaten senseless. Wu Liba's wife grabbed her long hair and pressed her to the ground. Her tender face was pressed against the ground, and beads of blood appeared. She was filled with regret. If she had known this would happen, she wouldn't have worn that precious headgear to show off.
Who knew that the women of the Northern Borderline would be so shrewish and unreasonable. They even dared to hit someone at a banquet hosted by the Eldest Princess.
The one who did it was Wu Liba's wife. Her maiden family was powerful, and her husband's family was extremely powerful. This matter was easily brushed off.
As for the concubine who was violently beaten?
She was really sorry. She was beaten for no reason, and the concubine's husband didn't even say anything.
However, this matter didn't end so easily.
How could the group of ladies let it go?
How could a female slave's concubine have the wealth to wear the expensive "Colored Glass of the Heavenly Palace"?
Especially the wife of the concubine's husband. When she returned home, she almost flipped the whole house upside down.
After investigating, they found out that the "Colored Glass of the Heavenly Palace" was sold at half the normal price, and all of them were sold by the trading company.
At this moment, the ladies were completely in an uproar.
The business that had just taken a turn for the better was instantly cut off again. The chief steward of the trading company was so angry that his teeth itched.
Helpless, they could only find another way out. They prepared to sell the Colored Glass of the Heavenly Palace to Dongqing. The business in the Northern Borderline could no longer continue.
However, this year, the Northern Borderline seemed to be unlucky. The trading company had just negotiated a deal, but the traffickers who smuggled it to Dongqing refused to do it.
"Business has business principles. To go back on one's word like this …"
The chief steward resisted the urge to vomit blood and patiently negotiated with his business partner.
The other party laughed coldly and said mockingly, "The merchants in the Northern Borderline often mock the merchants in the Central Plains for being scheming and dishonest in doing business. They boast that they believe in business, but from what I can see, it doesn't seem like much. This so-called "Colored Glass of the Heavenly Palace" is just a cheap item made of gravel. If I hadn't received the news in time … by the time this deal was done, my family would have been forced into a desperate situation. "
What?
A cheap item made of gravel?
The chief steward was flustered and exasperated. The "Colored Glass of the Heavenly Palace" in his hands was the real deal.
The business deal fell through. The chief steward turned around and felt that something was amiss. He hurriedly sent someone to investigate the situation. The information he received made him dizzy and his brain went blank for a moment. His vision turned black … His brain felt heavy and he fell to the ground, unconscious.
The so-called "Colored Glass of the Heavenly Palace" was just a very common glass product in Zhongzhao!
