The next day, Yuchi got up early and was washing his body with cold water.
The slightly warm well water was quite comfortable, giving him the energy to face the rather complicated matters of the coming days.
They chatted until midnight yesterday before dispersing.
It was fine talking to others, but speaking with that Bai Rou was truly tough to handle.
If there weren't other family members present, Yuchi feared he wouldn't recognize himself today.
Last name Cao, first name Bandit.
"No helping it! Too big and fierce!"
"So charming!"
"She was originally a clothing maker, very charming! Just like a ripe peach!"
Yuchi was almost eaten alive by Bai Rou yesterday.
And what followed was just as Yuchi predicted.
He had just finished washing up and was eating a pancake, hadn't even finished his soy milk, and someone from the Wei Family arrived.
Younger members of the five major families came to visit.
But fortunately, these visits were just to familiarize faces, and Yuchi didn't need to go out to greet anyone.
After all, he was the president of the United Commerce Association.
Right now, even though it's clothing, there will probably be involvement in other businesses in the future.
There's nothing to say to these snot-nosed kids.
He stealthily peeked over the wall to look into the distance.
His father, big brother, second brother, and others at the Wei Mansion were truly busy and happy.
Various receptions, various discussions, very lively.
Yuchi originally planned to consult with his father and big brother once most people left.
But...
After an incense stick's time, Yuchi was sitting in the meeting hall.
He looked at the young girl in front of him fanning herself and quipped, "Just you special."
The visitor was indeed Changsun Mei.
Changsun Mei also respected him very much.
Her eyes sparkled, and she said calmly, "President elder, I apologize for disturbing you this time."
"It's just that the other family patriarchs sent me to inquire about your next plan."
After saying that, she also secretly took a breath.
Maintaining composure in front of Yuchi wasn't easy at all.
This young man looked very amiable, but how could he really be amiable!
A truly amiable person wouldn't be able to get the representatives of the five major families to agree!
Yuchi wasn't aware of the shock of the Xufu Town residents!
Many people nearly fainted upon hearing the news of the founding of the United Commerce Association.
Because this good news came too suddenly, the six families finally don't need to bicker and can do business together!
For the residents of the Clothing Town, is there any better news than this!
They no longer have to worry about family disputes causing damage to the clothing business!
When they heard the president was a member of the Wei Family, they remained calm.
Indeed.
The Wei Family proposed the suggestion, so it's only right that a member of the Wei Family becomes the president.
But upon hearing that the young Third Master Yuchi became president at such a young age...
No one wasn't shocked!
A youth of seventeen or eighteen becoming the true master behind the six major families?
What extraordinary ability does this young man have!
Doing business isn't just about muscle; to command respect from other families requires enormous business acumen!
And this young Yuchi possessed it!
You've got stories; I've got wine.
Truly shocking!
"Yet he can remain so calm, as if all these matters were trivial."
Changsun Mei sneaked a glance at Yuchi, feeling slightly powerless.
Even though the girl was dressed as a man, her mind was delicate and gentle, with elegant, spirited eyes.
She waited quietly.
Yuchi remarked, "The girl is pretty decent at dressing as a man, but how can a man be so delicate-looking?"
"But if I really punched her, she'd probably cry, wouldn't she?"
"Really wanna try and see."
He couldn't help but chuckle.
Since his big brother was right there, he might as well speak his mind.
"The plan is to execute step by step. Currently, our association needs to rectify the chaos within the clothing industry of Xufu Town."
"Swallow up all the families outside of the six major ones."
"Ensure that the original eighty percent of clothing routes in our hands increase to a full hundred percent."
After Yuchi finished, he also gave the two others a moment to process.
The room was filled with rapid breaths.
After a dozen breaths.
Wei Zhe was shocked, "So soon? Third Brother!"
Just a few days ago, they were worried about these small family affairs, but now they're moving against them?
Changsun Mei's eyes were instantly filled with admiration!
When this young man spoke those words, his calmness and indifference were truly dashing!
Like the demeanor of an old devil!
So evil! So likable!
"So, what should we do!" Changsun Mei gently waved her folding fan, the painted brow fan leaves flapped lightly, a cool breeze rising, fragrant sweat trickling.
"Talk to the heads of the Twelve Linked Huts, use the association's power."
"The association will directly purchase ships originally belonging to other small families, leaving them without ships, and their clothes piling up."
"Finally, release wind that the association will purchase at fair prices."
Yuchi, "I don't care about squeezing them for a pound or two, just don't want to see them playing dirty tricks behind the scenes either."
The meeting hall fell into a slight silence.
Then.
"I understand!!!"
"They can profit in gold and silver, but they have no say!" Changsun Mei instantly grasped it.
Her sleeves gently fluttered, a fair wrist looming faintly visible.
A pretty clever girl, only sometimes a bit silly.
And oh, young lady.
You're wearing women's undergarments underneath with a scholar's robe on top. You're not doing the full act, huh?
Yuchi nodded in satisfaction.
Then he said to Wei Zhe who was in contemplation: "Big brother, once the plan is approved, I'll immediately head to the Twelve Linked Huts."
"Good!" Wei Zhe nodded heavily.
He also understood!
This is a psychological blow as much as it is physical!
Not giving these families the right to speak, they can earn, and our association won't press on their profits.
But you still expect a say? Impossible.
Once the official document is signed, the association will completely control all of Xufu Town's clothing.
For Yuchi, things will be even simpler.
He had a basic requirement.
"Bad money driving out good."
"He can't let such a thing happen."
Thus, price wars cannot occur.
So monopolization is necessary!
Complete unity of all clothing sales routes in Xufu Town must be ensured!
Yuchi won't maliciously hike prices to exploit the public after monopolizing, nor will he let Xufu Town fall into such vicious competition!
Proper profit is to be obtained, and it must be obtained.
Moreover, sects are the big players.
Earning the gold and silver of sects is the key.
"So what do we do after this matter is settled!"
Changsun Mei was already bubbling over with excitement inside!
Yuchi's plan was not only greatly beneficial for the association but also for the entire clothing business of Xufu Town!
The girlish facade of the young dandy couldn't hold anymore!
The privileged son gripped his sleeves, the small fan fluttering.
Strands of hair gently swayed.
The fair neck peeked out, this girl had an unusual charm.
Really wanted to take a bite, just don't know if it would hurt.
"Do you want to know? Or do other families want to know?" Yuchi gave her a sidelong glance.
"Ah...this." Changsun Mei blushed, "I want to know, can you tell me?"
"No."
"Wow!" Changsun Mei gritted her teeth, "Can you be a little more decisive?"
Yuchi laughed and stood up.
He had no need to reveal his plan step by step.
Otherwise, how would he train these people's compliance?
Just like taming beasts.
Can you feed the beasts all at once?
It's all about slowly stirring their appetite so they will listen.
