Chapter 97 Sugar
When the mother selected servants, she was the first priority to be reliable and honest. Apart from the servants, there were a few people who were directly pulled out of the old house. Perhaps in her opinion, her son did not need those smart servants who could speak and speak.
Cheng Jinzhou had long been dissatisfied with the servants in other houses. When the newcomers were settled, he asked Shimo to manage them, and Shiyan would still be with him. Although the former was also a scholar, he would learn to learn and take a look at the big house like the Cheng family and know how the housekeeper did it. As for the gentlemen in other houses, they were all doing miscellaneous work.
Cheng Jinzhou had almost no participation in the adjustment in the house. He only asked Shimo to take Meng Er to walk around for two times, and then chose a time to meet everyone. After notifying them with two sentences, he never paid attention to the servants in other houses. The servants in the capital were also servants, and no matter how arrogant they were, they could not go against the sky. Even if someone was dissatisfied, they didn’t even have a place to cry and did not want to do their jobs. There were even those who had a contract to sell their bodies, for fear of being sold to the bitter and cold land, but they were extremely well-behaved. No matter what orders their own master had, Cheng Jinzhou wanted to sell them, which was just a matter of one sentence. No gentleman would foolishly jump out and say: This is my person.
Cheng Jinzhou couldn't help but sigh. It's no wonder that most nobles support a certain degree of personal restriction system. From their perspective, this will indeed make the work simpler. The fearless free people are obviously frightening, just like the protagonist in the game who can be resurrected infinitely.
He threw the matter of the house to Shimo. While waiting for news from the Shen family, Cheng Jinzhou went to the West Wharf twice in a row, rented a warehouse again, and moved all the linen he bought into. In the TV series, the more frequent the suspect moved the materials, it was easier to get the care of him, but in reality, the care of him is often dispelled because of trouble. Who would break his head? He would keep the so-called space ring, and this kind of hero would search for secrets in the mental hospital for the rest of his life.
After the cloth was rushing, Cheng Jinzhou came to the West Wharf again and prepared to deal with it all.
The servant was still following Chengzhou with his horse, looking around curiously. Even in the pure commercial area of the capital, the civilians shouting horns showed a strong vitality. Looking at the sailboats coming and going and unloading all the huge goods, he couldn't help but make a low sound of surprise.
Cheng Jinzhou smiled pursed his lips. Although this place cannot be compared with the container freight scale of existing code terminals, it is larger in population density. Many work scenarios can give viewers more sense of immersion. In addition to war, this is almost the biggest task that the human world can mobilize for a long time.
He raised his whip with some meaning and smiled: "This is the capital."
The waiter cooperated with a silly smile.
The warehouse on the other side of the West Wharf is more than 20 miles away. It is full of civil and mixed land structures. After everyone dismounted from the land, Meng Da walked into the warehouse to check it out. He had a standard bodyguard behavior. Cheng Jinzhou looked at it from behind and smiled. But of course he hoped that he would be safer in his heart.
The linen is stiff and looks far less soft than silk. Touch with your hands. It is even a bit thorny. Cheng Jinzhou looked alone and shook his head. Most civilians in this era mainly dress in linen. Not only is the comfort problem, good breathability may make winter more difficult.
After sighing, he turned around and closed the door and opened the ring and shouted, "Mr. Ke, I've received the goods."
"Subu?" Customer service o1o can see the scene of the opposite place.
Cheng Jinzhou shrugged freely and said, "How to calculate?"
Every single piece of money.”
"It's strange that you still use such units."
"Convenient for customers." Customer service o1 was very casual: "Do you want to change it to tons?"
"No need." Xiao Cheng had long known that the customer service teacher would not propose a plan to make him suffer. Moreover, the price was nodded and approved as he knew it before, and he asked with a careful look: "Do you buy linen, regardless of the materials?"
"What you have is the cheapest sisal material, bsp; maybe the linen is not only sisal, but according to the customer service o11c theory, as long as most of it is sisal, then it naturally has to be calculated according to the cheap, which is the same as his purchase of rice and grain.
Cheng Jinzhou suddenly said, "What you collect is actually the material. What material is the most valuable linen?"
For merchants in Daxia, the price of linens in different regions is very small, and most of the ups and downs are due to supply and demand. Since he decided to purchase linens a few days ago, he also asked a little, at least he knew that linens include flax, ramie, jute, sisal, abaca, and red erin, which may be different for Star Covenant.
The customer service o1o did not answer positively, and said: "It depends on the type you can provide."
"Then it doesn't have to be a linen, right? Magnolia itself is OK?"
"Currently, it is calculated based on the price of fiber. If there are too many other parts, the system will automatically count it into the additional
, and the lowest value is used as the standard.”
Cheng Jinzhou curled his lips and said, "Where is the price of ramie?"
This is a traditional crop of the Daxia Dynasty. It has the largest planting area and is mostly in the southwest region. Cheng Jinzhou's grandfather, the garrison of the Southern Governor of Daxia Town, is within its scope. It is also the most familiar to Cheng Jinzhou. In Shaonan, the linen cloth that people wear is mostly made of ramie.
"It must be decided based on the goods." Customer service o1o adheres to the concise and concise words.
"Okay, let's trade." Cheng Jinzhou waved his hand.
Pi, a total of 8,124 star dollars. Is it true?”
"Confirm." The extra linen is to avoid losses in transportation and storage, but it is usually only a standard of 5% and it is obvious that Mr. Zhu Lin intends to show goodwill.
Looking at the three-digit numbers displayed on the ring and the empty warehouse like a subway station, Cheng Jinzhou was really crying. Dashi's plunder of the world's not-to-date world was so cruel. I think Commander Mao was probably the same indignation.
After a moment of silence, Cheng Jinzhou opened the door and walked out, and ordered Shiyan: "No need to keep people here. Things will be sold to merchants from other places in a few days."
After a few days, if someone asks, even if the linen in this warehouse is sold to foreign merchants, it is like warehouse management in the 211th century. Most of the time, people can only care about the account books, not what is placed in each container.
The servant was stunned for a moment, then responded to Cheng Jinzhou's horse, and whispered: "San brother, you can't be known about these transactions."
Cheng Jinzhou was dull and he knew in his heart that it was normal for nobles to buy some things occasionally. The sellers often sold them, and even became merchants. They might be investigated by the Clan Affairs Department - that was the place where the title of nobles could be cut off. As for the matter of letting the family run the business, although everyone knows, they must be completely out of finance. He has neither the capable person nor the ability to organize and control it.
Thinking about returning home, the horse body and boots were already covered with dust. The newly sent servant immediately lay on the ground and followed Cheng Jinzhou's footsteps to clean his shoes, which made him feel like he was in Shaonan City.
A noble life is like opium. You will quit when you are determined, and you will want to smoke again when you are depressed...
Sitting in the warm bathtub, Jinzhou still chose to exchange a thick book, 240,000 words, a whole star.
Then, it failed gorgeously, and the one displayed on the screen was a book called "Key Points and Exercises of Computer Network Knowledge". There was no need to think about giving the Daxia Dynasty 30 years, even if you created computers and plant things, it would still be unnecessary.
"Do you still need to redeem it?" customer service o1o~ asked.
Cheng Jinzhou shook his head disappointed. He originally wanted to maintain communication with Jizi and said that he would get some books from the library immediately. He had no hope of Geometric Optics being able to show off for several days. Later generations had hundreds of scientists who made a living by relying on this. Even if he chose one tenth of them, he could still maintain the posture of a genius astrology boy. Moreover, he had no chance to use an independent trading platform before. Now that he learned that Xingyuan could be exchanged for materials through Jizi, he certainly hoped to make money with money. This is also the most normal idea for a modern person.
This is the purpose of the excess warehouse rented a few days ago.
So, for several days, Cheng Jinzhou wandered around the West Wharf, and the shops that went around quickly knew that a nobleman would come to ask for prices every day. No matter how they evaluated it privately, they were very welcome on the surface. As merchants who did not value the court, all they could do was to try not to offend anyone. Who knew how many nobles were involved behind a nobleman, marriages, colleagues, and power sharing had long made the Internet complicated. Even the most down-and-out nobleman might not have sympathy when he was inhabited by his life, but if he was free from ordinary people, he would immediately jump out and "feel indifferent to his heart"...
Cheng Jinzhou still has a few hundred taels of silver left, so he can't bet at all. As for what he can buy from Star Covenant, he faces the problem of selling. The West Wharf shop mainly conducts bulk transactions. The commonly used materials will directly mark the price and hang it in the inner room. Cheng Jinzhou wanders around every day. Today, he will ask his family and tomorrow his family's house. Anyway, if he doesn't take action, no one will say anything.
It is like a huge merchant city. Commodities from overseas and materials from within 6 will be traded here. Some merchants with large scale will even do some recent futures behaviors. Of course, people at this time do not have the concept of futures. They just use their credibility to constrain each other, so as to agree on the price of a certain material at a certain period, and then deliver on time.
Cheng Jinzhou felt itchy when he saw it, but he could not be sure of it. For him, choosing a good merchant to trade is only the most basic, and there are many details of buying and selling that need to be considered.
Just wandering among shops.
On the fourth day, he went to a store with a maritime business as usual. Without waiting for the help of the client, he went to the inner hall by himself. Outside, he was just a place to negotiate business with ordinary customers, and the prices of bulk items were all inside. Retail and bulk not only had price differences, but also had differences in acquisition and quantity purchases. The latter often achieved a control balance through abnormal prices.
As soon as you walk into the half-closed wooden door, you can see seven or eight people standing in it to discuss matters. Although there are a few more people than usual, Cheng Jinzhou doesn't care, just looking at the price on the wall. Here, you usually dare to calculate the price from a hundred tons, and in smaller shops, materials that exceed 1 basically enter the price control stage.
Grain, tea and salt are benchmarks for daily prices. Their increase is only 5%, proving that the overall price range is stable. Once a problem arises in a certain area, these three commodities will be the first to show fluctuations. Today's price is the normal price.
Cheng Jinzhou sighed in disappointment. He was not afraid that the world would not be in chaos, but that the secret of the transaction would be greatly enhanced during price changes.
"Does Mr. Cheng want something?" The owner of the Maritime Trading Company rarely comes out to talk to the guests in person, but his tone is very calm, but his body blocks Cheng Jinzhou's backward vision.
Xiao Cheng couldn't know the boss of each store, and said, "Are the materials purchased by your store belonging to the maritime merchants?"
"Only a small amount was collected from other places, and they had to be transferred out to sell in the end." The owner's answer was pretty straightforward. Only marine merchants could hold hundreds of tons of goods in their hands, but in the capital, they were often the objects of peeping.
Cheng Jinzhou smiled and looked at the price on the wall. He nodded his observation in recent days. The price of sugar is the highest, with a maximum of 60 ounces per catty, which is several times the salt. However, buying salt from Star Covenant only costs 5 star yuan per ton, which is really a lot of profit. The problem is that there are only transactions that may not be completed every time through an independent trading platform. A single 1 star yuan entry ticket is even more problematic. If the number of purchases is too small, it would have been embarrassing.
However, if there are too many people and suddenly appear in Xiajing without a fleet, it will inevitably attract attention even if it attracts attention in the maritime business group.
When Cheng Jin was undecided, a gentleman who turned his body asked, "Does Mr. Cheng have anything in his hand?"
Seeing that there were only seven people in the room, Jinzhou finally spoke, "I have a batch of candy."
"Oh, do you have a boat grid, too?" The local sugar does not produce, and the bulk comes from the sea. The questioner looked up and down at Cheng Jinzhou and made a judgment.
"I have 1co~ goods. 6o~tw of silver per ton." Cheng Jinzhou was very cruel and reported a big number. If there was no such quantity, he had to think of other solutions.
"Is your goods in this area?" The other party didn't seem to be touched by this number. Indeed, a sailboat can carry a load of 2o~: If it is a sea boat, load of 2o~: is also a breeze, 1 is just a small scale.
However, maritime transactions attach importance to the supply of goods. Before the supply of goods arrives, they will take great risks when they take over.
Cheng Jinzhou nodded and said, "It's already in this district."
Because of his height, as he spoke, his eyes involuntarily looked at the other person's waist, but he saw a belt inlaid with jade.
"Aristocrat?" he asked immediately. Only aristocrats can embed jade on their belts. Jade is a gentleman. Merchants are not allowed to wear jade on their clothes, otherwise it would be a crime.
The owner of the business bank suddenly became nervous, looked back, and explained after being instructed: "Mr. Cheng, this is the director of Xijinghai business bank, Lord Xu Tao."
Cheng Jinzhou nodded and said hello, finally understanding why there are more people in the inner hall than usual, and the guys still have to stop him.
The Lord is the lowest-level noble and cannot be hereditary. But because of this, the nobles who can get the Lord are either extremely capable or have their own power. The world of early aristocraticism is not very discriminated against.
After a few words, Shi Yan hurriedly ran over and lay in his ear and said, "San brother, Xiang Xinxingshishi, let me come to find you."
So, Cheng Jinzhou naturally apologized and walked out. He actually didn't want to trade with the nobles, so it was more trouble than double the trouble.
In the room, Xu Tao shook the wooden door thoughtfully: "You can talk to him more, it doesn't matter if you buy and sell some things."
The owner of the Beijing Commercial Bank said in confusion: "He is a nobleman, why should we miss this trouble?"
"It's not a problem. If I remember correctly, this person might be a star warlock."
Everyone was suddenly in awe.
