The Five Families and Seven Hopes joined forces to attack the Mo's Village, which caused the Mo's Village to suffer heavy losses and withdraw from a large part of the market. But what really cheered were the other workshops that imitated the goods of the Mo's Village.
In a short time, workshops sprang up all over the Tang dynasty like bamboo shoots after the rain, constantly filling the huge market left by the Mo's Village's retreat.
"No one in this world is irreplaceable, even the Mo's are!" In Xingyang City, the head of the Zheng family looked at the numerous workshops that sprang up overnight and could not help sneering.
"Father, you are so wise to expel the Mo's and take over the huge market left by the Mo's!" Behind the head of the Zheng family stood Zheng Chang, the second son of the Zheng family who came to the capital with Zheng Chonghua. He looked complacently at the bustling scene in Xingyang City, many of which belonged to the Zheng family.
The head of the Zheng family showed a trace of complacency and said, "Do you think only the Zheng family is like this? I believe that the other six families will not miss this opportunity. Even a group of aristocratic families who followed the Five Families and Seven Hopes are scrambling for the market left by the Mo's Village. Otherwise, do you think they will be so active when there is no profit? It's just that none of them is in a better geographical position than the Zheng family. "
Since the brick road was built, Xingyang City, which was located in the center of the Longhai Line, suddenly became a traffic hub and a crossroad connecting the north and the south. As long as these workshops were built, there was no need to worry about business. This time, the Zheng family of Xingyang City benefited the most from the Five Families and Seven Hopes' attack on the Mo's.
"Then why do you do this? The workshops we build are also using the ink skills of the Mo's, and even the latest ink skills of the Mo's!" Zheng Chang was puzzled. With his status as the Five Families and Seven Hopes, how could he take a fancy to these ordinary industries? What he valued was the most advanced ink skills of the Mo's, especially the bicycle that shone brilliantly in the exhibition of ink skills. It was said that there was only one bicycle in the whole Chang 'an City and it was used by Qin Huaiyu and the other two people in turn. Every time they went out, they would be in the limelight. How could Zheng Chang, the playboy, not be tempted?
The head of the Zheng family looked at his favorite son and taught him earnestly, "There is a lot of knowledge in this. Although these workshops are also using the techniques of the Mo's, they are competing for profits with the Mo's Village. According to the annual report of the Mo's Village, the Mo's Village spends a lot of money to study ink skills every year. Once the Mo's Village loses its source of income, they can only ask for help from the outside world if they want to develop ink skills. At that time, we can take advantage of this opportunity to enter. Once we take the money, we will be controlled by others. At that time, the Mo's Village may not even get half of the patent fee. On the contrary, if the Mo's Village has a lot of financial support and firmly grasps the most profitable ink skills in their hands, they will just throw some leftovers to us. So, if we want to defeat the Mo's, we have to cut off their source of income. This is the first step and also the most important step. "
It had to be said that the head of the Zheng family's strategy was extremely vicious. There were many examples of scientists in later generations who had to submit to the capitalists because of the lack of money in their pockets. Often, the scientists were poor, while the capitalists made a lot of money from the inventions of the scientists.
Zheng Chang suddenly understood and couldn't help nodding. When he thought of the scene of Mo Jiazi begging him and the shame of Chang 'an, he couldn't help but feel a little more excited.
Although thousands of years had passed, the strategy of the Five Clans and Seven Clans was still effective. It not only caused the Mo's Village to lose a large market, but also caused the goods of the Mo's Village to pile up like mountains. If they couldn't figure out a way, many workshops of the Mo's Village would probably stop working. Once the Mo's Village lost the momentum of rapid development, it was inevitable that it would decline.
"These aristocratic families are really abominable. I'll go to my father now and let him punish them!" After all, the truth couldn't be concealed. Soon, Princess Changle had heard the rumor that the Five Clans and Seven Clans and Seven Clans had besieged the Mo's Village. She immediately became furious.
"No!" Meton hurriedly stopped Princess Changle.
"You're pregnant now. You'd better take care of the fetus first. You don't have to worry about the things outside!" Meton comforted her.
"But the Mo's Village …" Princess Changle said anxiously. She knew that the situation of the Mo's Village was not optimistic.
Meton shook his head and said, "The Retired Emperor has just been buried. The Emperor is grieving. How can I disturb the Emperor over such a small matter? Besides, it's not difficult for me to make money. The Mo's Village will be fine!"
Meton comforted Princess Changle for a while before sending her back to her room.
Meton rubbed his eyebrows. The most important thing now was to sell the goods returned by the Mo's Village. If there was a large backlog, the Mo's Village's funds would be greatly reduced if they couldn't get the money back. That was the most fatal thing.
"Ding Ling Ling!"
Suddenly, a very familiar sound rang. Meton didn't need to think to know that it was the three bike thieves.
After a lot of practice, Qin Huaiyu had mastered the skill of riding a bicycle. He rode the bicycle with a beautiful drift and stopped directly outside the living room. Behind him, Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Baolin looked at Qin Huaiyu discontentedly.
"How dare you come again!" Meton saw the three bike thieves and couldn't help but gnash his teeth.
"I'm here to apologize today!" Qin Huaiyu and the other two smiled apologetically. During this period, they were in the limelight and became the most popular people on the Vermilion Bird Avenue. They were so happy that they didn't want to go home.
"Forget it!" Meton said dispiritedly. Now that the Mo's Village was in troubled times, Meton didn't want to play with these strange things anymore.
"Brother Mo's heroic deeds of not fearing people have been spread all over Chang 'an City. You are really a role model for our generation." Cheng Chumo gave Meton a thumbs-up. During this period, Mo Jiazi pointed at the head of the seven families and scolded him, which became the hottest issue in Chang 'an City. He was also shocked by the foppish world of Chang' an City. Even Qin Huaiyu and the other two who rode a bicycle were overshadowed by him. After all, as the sons of aristocratic families, no one knew better than them the horror of the five families and the seven families.
Meton snorted and said, "I didn't scold them wrongly at all. These old guys are abusing their power to avenge private wrongs. How dare they not follow the rules?"
He didn't expect that these aristocratic families would be so shameless as to use their power to besiege the Mo's.
"So, the three of us are here today to solve this problem for Brother Mo!" Yuchi Baolin patted his chest and promised.
Meton looked at the three in surprise and said in disbelief, "You?"
"Each of us wants 3,000 strings of cash!" Yuchi Baolin patted his chest and said proudly.
Meton was stunned and shook his head. "It's useless even if you buy 30,000 strings of cash. Do you know that the Mo's Village is in the biggest trouble now?"
"The goods of the Mo's Village are the best-selling goods in the Tang dynasty. Now they are in trouble and the biggest problem is that they can't be transported out. However, for the three of us, it's a piece of cake. Don't tell me those petty officials dare to stop the fleet of our Duke's Mansion." Cheng Chumo said proudly.
"Yes, we can take the opportunity to make a lot of money." Qin Huaiyu said with a money-grubber look. Everyone knew that as long as the goods of the Mo's Village were transported out, they would make a lot of money.
However, Meton shook his head and said, "The five families and the seven families are involved in too many things. It's better not to involve the three Duke."
Yuchi Baolin said frankly, "This is our private action. At most, we will be beaten by our father. Besides, the goods of 3,000 strings of cash can make us nearly 1,000 strings of cash, which is enough to pay for the medical expenses."
Qin Huaiyu and Yuchi Baolin nodded solemnly with a determined look, as if it was worth being beaten for money.
Meton couldn't help but feel moved. He knew that the three of them were not short of money. They were just here to help him.
"Short of money!" Meton said in his heart. Qin Huaiyu and the other two had shares in the gourmet city, but they still couldn't make ends meet. It could be imagined that the other playboys would be even more short of money.
Meton's eyes turned slightly and he said in a low voice, "The five families and the seven families are too powerful. The three Duke alone may not be able to resist them. You can send a message to your fox … good friends to make money together. The goods of the Mo's Village usually get 30% of the profit, but this time I can give you 40% of the profit! You can even buy the goods on credit. They can choose whether they want to be beaten or make hundreds of strings of cash. "
Cheng Chumo's eyes lit up at the 40% profit. Wouldn't the profit increase by a few hundred strings of cash? Moreover, they could buy the goods on credit. This was simply a business without any capital. He believed that his fox friends would be tempted.
"Yes! The law cannot punish the majority! Ah! Bah, we are not breaking the law. We have so many Duke and Marquis Mansion. Why should we be afraid of the five families and the seven families? "Qin Huaiyu slapped his thigh and said.
If more playboys joined, the risk of this action would be reduced to the minimum. Moreover, they could make a lot of money. This was an irresistible temptation for those playboys who never had enough money to spend.
With so many forces in the imperial court, they could definitely compete with the five families and the seven families. Meton could also take the opportunity to clear out the goods of the Mo's Village.
