Chapter 25

In the trading hall, Kang Chengdong looked at the price on the whiteboard and anxiously said to He Kun: "How could this happen? In a few days, the price of fragrant medicine fell so much! As soon as the price fell the day before yesterday, I asked you to sell it, but if you drag it down, I lost a lot of money again!"

He Kun sighed: "Mr. It's not that I'm dragging it on and not selling it, but there is no buyer, who will sell it to? Look at it, it's all sold now, and no one can buy it, so what can I do? This is the case with doing business, and it's useless to be anxious."

Kang Chengdong was so anxious that he said, "What should I do? In a dozen days, it will be the end of the year. I am in a hurry to go back to Daizhou to celebrate the festival!"

He Kun shook his head and spread his hands, saying that he could not help. Now almost all those who bought incense medicine a few days ago were selling, but there were a shortage of big buyers in the market and they could not be sold at all. When the price was high a few days ago, the Yamen took the opportunity to sell the incense medicine in Curry. The news spread, and the Yamen purchasing that supported everyone's confidence was self-defeating. Nowadays, the incense medicine has become something no one wants.

Yelu Buhua was also anxious. He didn't care much about the hundreds of stagnant money, so he just thought he had paid the tuition. The problem was that as the end of the year approaching, if he didn't have the money to buy some gifts, he would inevitably be ridiculed. He also wanted to let his family support him and do some big business.

The two discussed for a while, and Kang Chengdong came back and said to He Kun: "I have lost money, I admit it! But I have to take the medicine all over my hands. I can't go home, so I have to change some other goods. What are the solutions? You are just talking about the regulations. This time, so many Bingzhou officials suffered losses, and if you don't believe it, you will admit it!"

He Kun said: "I heard that the leaders of several guilds petitioned the yamen together and decided to sign a verdict on the Tianqing Building not far away today. You are a foreign merchant and the guild doesn't care, but you can go and take a look and ask for information."

Kang Chengdong said: "If you buy goods, you lose money. What's the use of petitioning in the yamen? Do you still want the government to take out the money?"

He Kun shook his head: "It is impossible for the yamen to pay for money. But this chaos was the legend that the yamen bought incense medicine, but in the end it was the yamen who sold goods at a high price. The leaders of the business were hoping that the yamen would buy some incense medicine as they said before."

After hearing this, Kang Chengdong discussed with Yelu Buhua, and thought it made sense, so he went outside the Tianqiu Building together.

As soon as I arrived at the Tianqiu Building, I saw a lot of people gathered outside, all dressed in bright clothes, either rich or noble.

Kang Chengdong pulled someone and said, "Brother, aren't you from the yamen today? Why are you all outside?"

The man looked at Kang Chengdong and curled his lips and said, "The seats in the restaurant are occupied by local merchants. We businessmen from other states don't have to wait outside? Judging from your appearance, you are not from the city?"

Kang Chengdong bowed: "I'm the surname Kang, and I'm a businessman in Daizhou."

The man nodded and didn't say anything, but just looked nervously at the second floor of Tianqinglou. Kang Chengdong couldn't do so, so he had to stand in the crowd with Yelu Buhua and inquire about the news inside.

A banquet was placed in the small pavilion on the second floor of Tianqiu Building. Du Zhongxiao sat on his head and looked at the people around him.

This incense medicine storm involves not only fur merchants, but many merchants participated in every guild in the city. In recent days, they have already recognized the loss of money, but now there is no goods sold out, and everyone is worried. The last few guilds together petitioned the yamen, and Xia Shu sent Du Zhongxiao to deal with the matter. According to Xia Shu's idea, the yamen will definitely not give up the advantage. It is okay to buy incense medicine, but it must be much lower than usual. Du Zhongxiao persuaded him to stay. When the news spreads next spring, after the news spread, there will inevitably be merchants from other states who come here to buy incense medicine at a low price, and the price will inevitably rise. Incense medicine is still hard currency. As long as the price is appropriate, it will not be a loss if the yamen buys it.

He persuaded Du Zhongxiao to drink a glass of wine. Leng Yuanwai said: "Officials, now the merchants in the fur yard have stocked up a lot of incense and medicine a few days ago, and they lack money in their hands, and their fur business has been affected a lot. In our Bingzhou City, many families rely on fur business to make a living, but this is not possible. The yamen always think of a way to solve this dilemma."

Du Zhongxiao said lightly: "What's the impact? The price of fur is stable, so they just need to do business with peace of mind."

Leng Man Wai sighed: "Everyone's money is occupied by the incense and medicine inventory, but it cannot be sold, so he cannot collect raw skins. How can he do business?"

Du Zhongxiao said: "It's okay, there is no skin, the yamen can go to them with credit, just pay the profit."

Mr. Leng was stunned and then he remembered that there was still a large amount of fur stock in the yamen, which probably had not been sold a few days ago. Now, I can earn a lot of interest by giving fur to a merchant to credit. However, Mr. Leng was not here, and he wanted to sell the incense medicine quickly. Just like the price soared a few days ago, it began to plummet in the past two days. Seeing the money in his hand shrinking, who could bear it?

On the side of the Hongfu Channel: "Officials, the yamen can make furs, but in our factory, craftsmen can't afford to buy salt and water, but they can't afford to buy salt and water. So what should I do? The most important thing now is the incense medicines in the hands of the city's officials and outsiders, so I need to sell them quickly."

Du Zhongxiao sighed: "You said it easy, but are the money in the yamen just spent? The price of the purchase is high. How can I explain it when the Transportation Commission checks the accounts? This year, the fur business in Bingzhou has been very popular. The Transportation Commission checks the accounts several times!"

Mr. Leng hurriedly said: "The price is not high. Now the price of fragrant medicine outside is the lowest this year!"

Du Zhongxiao shook his head: "But the price is still falling! I bought it at a low price, but when the price is reduced to half. How can I explain it then? How can I tell the memorial with someone who is interested?"

Leng Yuanwai said bitterly: "The poor officials are the young people. The price will drop again. All the money we earn in a year will be lost!"

"It is normal for you to do business, buy low and sell high. You all understand this principle. If you misunderstand the market, isn't it normal to lose money? Come on, drink a glass of wine! Wine is a good medicine to relieve worries. If you drink it drunk, ignore these common things!"

Seeing Du Zhongxiao raise his glass, the merchants were willing to drink and begged together.

Hongfu Channel: "It was said before that the yamen wanted to buy incense medicine and sell furs, so everyone would stock up on the incense medicine together, thinking of making some money. In the end, the yamen stopped buying it and threw out their incense medicine. The officials and the people were causing trouble for us! This matter was caused by the yamen, and we couldn't ignore us in the end! At least we bought the incense medicine back, and we recognized the money we lost and left some capital."

Du Zhongxiao looked stern and said seriously: "If the yamen wants to buy incense medicine, you will hoard goods and raise the price. The profiteering businessman! Are you going to cheat the yamen's money? If you weren't greedy and raised the price of incense medicine, there would be no such thing!"

Hong Futong was so scared that his face turned pale. He knelt on the ground with a "thump" sound, hugged Du Zhongxiao's legs and said, "It was the young man who was confused for a moment, and he had made a fool of himself and did something wrong. If you can keep the officials from remembering the old evil, you should buy our incense medicine. The young man will have a peaceful New Year!"

When the other merchants saw Du Zhongxiao's expression calmed down, they turned their eyes to each other and knelt down one after another, begging hard.

After a stalemate for a while, Du Zhongxiao sighed: "Oh, get up. You are the people of this state, the magistrate and me, and you are soft-hearted and can't stand the people suffering. You are not allowed to buy your incense and medicine, but I want to avoid rumors and cannot buy them at the market price."

Official Leng gritted his teeth: "The official bids, as long as we still have a bite of food, we will definitely agree!"

When Du Zhongxiao saw everyone nodding, he pondered for a while and said, "Depending on the current market outside, the price will fall. So, take the current market outside as the market price, and get a 20% discount, and the yamen will collect your incense medicine. If you want to sell, sell it, and don't want to sell it at will. But make it clear, there is a lot of money in the yamen, and you can't guarantee to buy it all, you can do it yourself."
