Chapter 138 Low-priced acquisition

After shedding all the sheepskins, Gongsun Xiu immediately sent a message back to Yan State, asking Jia Fan to tell the world again in the name of King Yan: the winter clothes of the soldiers of the three armies were not made of sheepskin, but were made of squids and sheepskins were forbidden.

It took three days for this news to be transmitted from western Liaoning to Liaodong, and it took only two days for Jia Fan to issue an edict to the people, and then from Liaodong to western Liaoning.

The so-called good things don’t go out, bad things spread thousands of miles away. The speed of whispering between the people was like wings, and instantly spread throughout western Liaoning. The merchants who traded with Jiulong Ridge were all stunned.

To put it simply, sheepskin is worthless.

Youzhou.

"Damn it, how is this possible?"

Wuqiu Zong was so angry that he threw the wine to the ground and said angrily: "Gongsun Xiu doesn't want sheepskin anymore, and instead uses roepi as the winter clothes of the Yan army. Is the news true?"

The staff member was shocked and trembled, and said with a wry smile: "It's true, it's true. Gongsun Xiu has issued an edict that the winter clothes of tens of thousands of soldiers of the Yan army no longer intend to use sheepskin, but use silk thread to make clothes."

Wuqiu Zong sat on the ground with a little puzzled. He heard that Cao Shuang was going to launch an army to attack Liao again, and knew it was a great business opportunity. The Yan army must have made winter clothes and purchased a large amount of sheepskin. He also seized the opportunity and ordered people to purchase sheepskin in western Liaoning. He stocked up almost 150,000 sheepskins in one go. As the price grew, as long as it was cashed out, it could be exchanged for huge windfalls.

But now Yan State no longer collects sheepskin, which means that the price has plummeted and has fallen from the sky to the bottom.

"Since the Yan thief doesn't want sheepskin, then it's useless to keep it. Hurry up and order people to give it up before the merchants from all over the country trading in Jiulongji are aware of it."

Wuqiu Zong said with a pale face.

The staff member frowned and said, "Young Master, if you sell the sheepskin now, you will probably lose a lot of money. Although there were not many sheepskins on the market when the price was raised, they were all hidden and unwilling to sell them, and they tried to sell them when the price rose to a higher level. Now Yan State does not need sheepskin anymore. Xianbei herdsmen, Wei people, and Yan people are all rushing to sell. At this time, they will inevitably suffer heavy losses."

Wuqiu Zong said angrily: "If you don't sell it at this time, you will lose even more later. Now I don't know how many sheepskins are left. If you don't take the opportunity to sell it, it will really become a bunch of useless things."

The staff said: "Sheepskin can also be left in the army for later use, that is—that is——”

Wuqiu Zong said: "The three armies have winter clothes, and there is no need to add a lot of winter clothes. Besides, this is my personal private wealth and has nothing to do with national affairs, so it cannot be confused."

The staff smiled bitterly and said, "Then—then we can only take action as soon as possible to reduce losses."

The market price of sheepskin on Jiulong Ridge was in chaos. The owners who saw the opportunity to stock up on a large amount of sheepskin suffered a great loss and their faces were ashamed.

Chief Murong Nan not only hoarded sheepskin on his own ranch, but also purchased a large amount of sheepskin from the outside world. He also saved more than 100,000 pieces on hand and was about to sell them to Yan State at a high price. Unexpectedly, Yan State suddenly gave up the matter of making sheepskin winter clothes.

In an instant, it was like an avalanche. Murong Nan said angrily, "Hurry up and sell the sheepskin at Jiulong Ridge, and sell it to whoever wants it at the market price."

But it was too late at this time, and the entire Jiulong Ridge was almost all replaced with sheepskin, rather than with things to replace them. Merchants of all ethnic groups were not stupid people. Since Yan State did not use sheepskin, it would lose its value and price.

The price of sheepskin fell for seven or eight days, from 4,500 yuan per piece to 4,000 yuan, and then to 3,000 yuan.

In another three days, it will be reduced to one thousand coins.

The leather merchants were all sad, and there were not many buyers for seven or eight consecutive days. Occasionally, they also bought a few pieces of stuffed clothes to make winter clothes for the winter, and they no longer bought and sold them to make a difference.

Deng Ai rushed back quickly and said happily: "Your Majesty, the sheepskin outside is only priced at a price of thousands of dollars."

Gongsun Xiu, who was lying on his side, smiled, sat up, stretched his waist, and said, "Very good, how much money did we spend on selling sheepskin last time?"

Deng Ai replied: "It's probably 300 million yuan."

"Check as much sheepskin as there is outside."

He smiled on his face. At this market price, it was enough to buy 300,000 sheepskins back and said calmly: "Don't buy in large quantities, buy in batches, or buy in a scattered manner. Bring more than a thousand people from our Yan army with money and go to Jiulongji to purchase in batches. If you buy fifty or hundreds of sheepskins one by one, you won't be suspicious."

Deng Aixi said: "Don't worry, the entire Jiulong Ridge is currently worried about selling and not buying."

On that day, more than a thousand Yan soldiers each carried 20,000 yuan and wandered around Jiulong Ridge, attracting a lot of flattering buyers. These people were afraid that tomorrow's sheepskin would be even more valuable, so they just wanted to deal with it quickly and not let themselves lose too much, at least they could sell some money back.

In the evening, more than a thousand people bought fifty sheepskins. After five days of this, they bought 250,000 sheepskins for purchases.

On the fifth day, the sheepskin was only worth 700 yuan. Lai Zhaoxin joked that it was too early to exchange it. If he could buy goods until the fifth day, he would save 300 yuan per sheepskin.

But Gongsun Xiu understood that this idea of ​​trying to buy at the bottom is the stupidest idea. Financial geniuses from ancient and modern times, both at the bottom of the market, or at the bottom of the mountain that had no time to escape. Moreover, the sheepskin he needed was not a small amount. If he really waited to buy at the cheapest time, it would only lead to a rapid increase in the price.

Gongsun Xiu immediately ordered Yan Xu to lead 500 people to transport 250,000 sheepskins back to Yan State first, and asked Deng Ai: "How much is left at the moment?"

Deng Ai said: "We purchased goods while reducing the price. In fact, the 250,000 sheepskins do not require a thousand coins per piece. On average, it is only about 850 coins, and there are still 80 million coins on hand."

"It's all very happy."

Gongsun Xiu shrugged and smiled, "These 80 million yuan, for each of these 700 yuan, can you buy another 110,000 sheepskins back."

Deng Ai was very happy and said, "Buy another 110,000 pieces, and we will get 360,000 pieces of sheepskin. The winter clothes materials needed by the 50,000 soldiers of Yan State are enough. The stock of sheepskin piled up on the Jiulong Ridge is at least 600,000 pieces."

"This is all caused by human greed, both ancient and modern. Such things will happen today and will still happen in a thousand and eight hundred years."

Gongsun Xiu was too lazy to pity these blind speculative gamblers. If he didn't make such a bad decision, Yan State would become the fool who took the last shot after all forces beat the drums and passed the flowers.

Deng Ai said: "Fortunately, we have collected all the sheepskins at cheap prices, and we don't have to worry about these lucrative merchants jammed their necks."

Speaking of the profiteer, he immediately thought of Huang Junyuan and smiled and said, "I don't know if the 120,000 sheepskin on that guy's hand has been released? In this case, I guess he's so anxious?"

At this time, Lai Zhaoxin walked in and said with a smile: "This man was holding his back and didn't even have a single piece of sheepskin. The villain asked someone for inquiries. Maybe he lost too much. He was still holding on with the idea that he would not lose if he didn't sell it."

Gongsun Xiu laughed silently, thinking that this was just a blow to his hands. He joked: "This idea is stupid. Sheepskin has increased by more than 300 yuan. Now Yan State no longer collects sheepskin. The entire Xianbei complains, and it is possible to reduce the price of 300 yuan if it is not sold. Fortunately, he is willing to help me eat 20,000 sheepskin in one breath. After all, it costs 80 million yuan. Now I buy it from him, which can be considered a favor, otherwise the sheepskin will not be sold out like that."

Deng Ai smiled and said, "When we sold him, 20,000 yuan was sold for 80 million yuan. Now, if we sell it back, 80 million yuan is enough to buy the 120,000 yuan sheepskins he had. We have made a lot of money in this transaction."
