Chapter 350 God, there is no way out

Chapter 350 Oh my God, there is no way out

Chapter 350 Oh my God, there is no way out

During the Chinese New Year, Shi Yanei went to Tongzhou. In the eyes of the people of Haizhou, he never participated in the crazy purchase of Shu brocade, so Yanei seemed to be fair and fair and fair: "That's right, how do ordinary people use Shu brocade? A Shu brocade will take two or three years to weave a large output. Although the output is not large, there are few people who cannot withstand the daily use. Because of your purchase, the price of Shu brocade has increased by five times. This price, even if a high-ranking official is a noble person, it is obviously impossible to afford it.

At that time, I heard the news and said: I am afraid that even households will not be able to afford Shujin in the future... OK OK, now Dalang said that Shujin will not only fall, but will also fall to one-third of the original price."

"Three million guans," the voice just now burst into tears: "I have invested a total of three million guans. If Dalang takes the lead in selling goods, my three million guans will not be worth 300,000 guan... I really lost all my money."

Dong Xuan wanted to say a few words to express it. After all, this is Haizhou Trading Center. Maybe it will be the World Trading Center in the future. How can you let go if you have the opportunity to show up... But as soon as he opened his mouth, Shi Yanei pulled him behind him and signaled him not to show up again...

The dull atmosphere fermented for a moment, and the merchants couldn't sit still. A businessman stood up and walked out of the door as if he was shaking. When he went down the steps, he stepped on the air and rolled down the stairs like a gourd. But when he got up again, he seemed to feel no pain and just muttered to himself: "Five times, the original price was 30%, in the blink of an eye, the value of the goods depreciated ten times... It's all over the bank."

Shi Chuan was still standing there and smiling, pretending not to see the merchant who left in a daze, and only bowed to the rest of the merchants on the spot: "Everyone, I have about tens of thousands of Shu brocades on hand. Because I have too much stock, I can sell some of them for a turnover. How much can you eat? Even if I come to discuss with me, I will wait upstairs."

At this time, there was a businessman hesitating, and a businessman whispered: "The original price is 30%. If you eat at this price, you won't lose money if you sell it at the original price."

A guy who had worked as a maritime merchant sneered: "This is the beginning - since last year, the ships of Nanyang merchants in major maritime merchants have rarely entered the port... No, this year, there are not many maritime merchants entering the port throughout the summer. Today, the maritime merchants rely on the trade support of Japan and Goryeo. But how many Shu brocades can be bought in Japan, and the Shu brocades at Shi Dalang can be worn by Japanese farmers.

In this case, Shi Dalang has already started selling, and the rest are still hesitating if they are unsure of their ideas, but when the rest make up their ideas, they may be even lower... Grandma's, the original price is 30% sold, Shi Dalang is really cruel."

"This is called decisiveness," another businessman whispered: "Today I was here, and I heard Shi Dalang's advice. Shi Dalang could tell people the reasons every day. Looking back, there were always two or three fools who thought it was cheap and came to eat the goods - after all, only Shi Dalang's family took action now. After a few days, everyone was tight on their hands. The selling price was lower than this. Can Dalang still take action? This is called "Viral snake wraps his wrists, and a hero cuts his arms". Shi Dalang is decisive, no wonder he can buy Qi Nuo within two or three years."

The merchant who just wanted to be greedy for the cheap ones was furious and glared at him, "According to your words, am I a fool?"

"I didn't say that," the merchant who was wearing a dress while complimenting replied sly: "Is it a fool who sees whether he does stupid things... You see, that's a fool--"

The merchant refers to a businessman who came forward to chat with him. He was probably also a businessman who wanted to take advantage of the price. He first asked tentatively whether the price was true, and then carefully ate 100 pieces of Shu brocade. After the two parties completed the procedures, Dong Xuan reminded him with concern: "Customer, can you sell it after eating so much at once?"

The customer who purchased the goods looked happy: "Don't worry, I'm not selling in Haizhou. I'm not selling in other places. I'm going to Yangzhou immediately after I haven't received any news. Bianliang is selling at the original price. The price of Shujin has risen a lot in the past. Now there are cheap goods, both the shops and the people want them. Hundreds of Shujin can be spread out immediately. My turnover will be 60% of the profit, which can be obtained."

Dong Xuan looked at each other in front of each other. After the purchaser left, Dong Xuan looked at Shi Chuan worriedly: "Brother Xian, are there really people who purchased goods?"

The Shi brothers looked at Shi Chuan with equal concern, and Shi Chuan's expression remained unchanged, and replied: "I'm not telling you that Shu Jin is not a daily necessity. Occasionally, there are foodies that are not a big deal, but the quantity is definitely not large... Besides, in the financial market, the value of currency must be observed with a dynamic perspective. For example, when we eat goods, we will use fifteen guan per horse. Now it seems that the price of five guan is sold, and each guan is lost more than ten guan per horse, but as long as we eat it again at a lower price, the Shu Jin in the warehouse is still the original quantity, and the difference between the price is to make a profit... Forget it, it's too hard for you to play the dynamic currency value, just play your role well... Have you finished all the lines?"

The Shi brothers and Dong Xuanyi - Piao Tianwenxue - head, Manager Huang smiled and said, "My family doesn't care about those trivial matters, just follow Dalang and shout, and then count the money... Dalang, next we should go to the private room for a drink and wait for the guest to come to consult."

"Okay, please, everyone." Shi Chuan reached out to invite him and took the opportunity to look at the Trade Hall again.

I heard the following discussion: "It's so miserable, this is Shu brocade, something that people can't use normally... I, I, I heard that the sea boat was about to enter the port, and I collected some porcelain that the South and Westerners liked. Now, the porcelain that my family stocks up for my own home use is really something that can't be used for three thousand years.

Alas, all the workshops in the world were running full power throughout the winter last year, and they were producing and producing... Now, all these goods are in their hands. If Hu merchants don’t come again, who will sell this batch of porcelain to at the price we purchased... Hey, I have bought three big ships this year."

More businessmen were whining and complaining, and got up and walked out of the hall like sleepwalking... In the blink of an eye, the entire restaurant was empty.

What is the annual output of Shu brocade in the Song Dynasty? According to Fei Zhuo's "Shu Brocade Book": "The annual output of silk is 125,000 for the two, and the number of red, blue and purple is 211,000 for the kilograms"... However, strangely, the output mentioned in the "Shu Brocade Book" is calculated by "jin", how many cocoons are used - jin; how many dyes are used - jin; how many silk Shu brocade is produced - or "jin".

What is the length of a "jin" Shu brocade? This conversion problem is very confusing.

Several merchants came in the private room, but their purchase volume was still more than a hundred pieces. Although in the blink of an eye, the book settlement seemed to have lost tens of thousands of yuan, Shi Chuan was still calm. Only Dong Xuan could not sit still. The guests who came were not present. Dong Xuan advised with annoyance: "Brother Xian, I have a brief look on E Niang. It is probably because Brother Xian is really short of money. For example, by the end of the year, the projects on Zuoxiu Street and Zuoxiu Street will be completed. Thousands of workers are waiting to settle the remaining project funds. Shuyang wants to open a farm and train in a group, which will cost a lot of money... After all, it is true that there is no news from the Western fleet. Since Brother Xian is so short of money, please let me join in. Brother Xian, my payment for the goods will not be settled for the time being, Su Xin's money can also be put on..."

Shi Chuan shook his head gently: "I read you right, you are indeed a good person - but I'm not at the point of needing help from others. I have a few shops and streets under my name, which means I don't have enough money to spend. As long as I get through the New Year's Eve, the turnover will be started."

What else Dong Xuan wanted to say? Shi Yanei laughed and interrupted: "Brother Dong probably doesn't know. Shi Dalang's family's money flows in like water. In the workshop, the fleet, the winery, the vineyard, the spice shop, the garment shop you know, and the scented scented scented workshop. As long as they are still in motion, the money flowing into Shi Dalang's family will not be cut off every day. If he really lacks money, just change a little shares. I don't know how many people in Haizhou City are waiting to pay for the money. Do you still need to sell goods?"

Dong Xuan is skeptical - after all, the scene in front of her is too... Dong Xuan is always worried that it will become true.

After a little leaning, Shiteng waved his hand and greeted him: "You go to the next door to eat something. I have something to say to Yanei in private."

Dong Xuanleke was forced to leave by his friend. Looking at his disappearing back, Shi Yanei sighed: "What a great person... You said, are we going to be a little cruel? Even he is hiding it..."

Shi Chuan sneered: "The merchants in our Song Dynasty are too lazy. There are fewer merchant ships from others. Can't we drive the boats to the door of others? We have to force them to force them to the end. Only when they are forced to go to the fore, will we make a firm decision and follow us to explore the West. Yanei, don't worry, this matter cannot hurt their muscles, I have a clear idea. When this matter is over, the merchants in Haizhou will be held in our palms."

Shi Yanei thought about it and immediately smiled silly: "I'm not worried about them at all. I just thought, Luo Jinshi should have panicked these days. I heard that he had sold Shu Jin before and made a small profit. Afterwards, the price of Shu Jin continued to grow wildly. He felt that he had lost money and spent three times the money to replenish the goods. Later, the price of Shu Jin continued to rise, and he became more and more reluctant to sell it... Hehe, now, the price of Shu Jin suddenly fell below the bottom line. The money he spent was only one-nineth. I don't know how Luo Jinshi should be upset?"

"Of course, this 'irrighteous fortune' left by his ex-wife has an ominous smell. I'll see how he spends it." Shi Chuan walked to the table, looked at the table full of hearty dishes, and shook his head gently: "What a pity, such delicious dishes are wasted."

Yanei chose a table and sat down. He greeted his brother casually, grabbed a handful of chopsticks to greet Manager Huang, and then ate wine while saying casually: "I don't think it's easy to force the merchants to be too cruel... If the matter is exposed, it will be difficult for us to get in Haizhou. Next month, no, I will let those sea boats bought from Danluo Port enter the port in the late month to lay the groundwork for this matter."

That night, Luo Jinshi happily calculated the goods he had after the meal, and then calculated. When he woke up tomorrow morning, how much would this batch of goods increase?... Thinking that he had too much money, he could hire an innocent woman who didn't know his background and was rich as his wife from a little farther away. He couldn't describe the joy in his heart. With this joyful mood, Luo Jinshi went to bed beautifully.

In the middle of the night, Lo Wangjing suddenly woke up from his dream. He was sweating all over. He sat on the bed. He thought about the scene in his dream and could no longer sleep. So he lit the oil lamp and walked towards his warehouse. When he went out, the old lady next to him heard the movement and shouted through the door and window: "Son, aren't you asleep yet?"

Luo Wangjing replied casually: "Mother, you go to bed first, and I'll take a look at the goods."

There was no more movement in the door.

Luo Wangjing came to his warehouse with an oil lamp. When he saw that the door lock was still intact, he breathed a sigh of relief and walked around the warehouse for a while. Then he held the oil lamp and walked towards the bedroom with confidence.

At this time, a faint voice came from the backyard. Luo Jinshi was a little surprised: It was so late, and the people in the backyard had not yet settled?

Luo Wangjing turned around worriedly, looked at the direction of the warehouse again, raised his foot several times and wanted to open the door lock. He stroked Shu Jin's smoothness with his own hands, but after looking at the lights in his hand, he still didn't dare to enter the door.

The warehouse where silk is stored is too jealous of lights.

This small courtyard was newly bought by Luo Wangjing. He is now a Jinshi master and seems to have no identity when living in the countryside. Besides, the land in his country was basically distributed to his younger brother, and the land left was also invested by others, so he could not make the decision. Fortunately, Luo Wangjing had a sum of money left by Chu Suzhen, so he was cruel and bought a second-entry yard in the city. He then rented the front yard and collected the rent by himself. He built a warehouse in the backyard to make some small investments.

The one who rented his backyard was a businessman.

It must be said that the time for Lowangjing to invest was very appropriate. When he bought a house, the tea transaction was over that year. Many bankrupt tea merchants began to sell real estate, causing the housing prices in the city to drop slightly. When Lowangjing finished renovating this courtyard, the housing prices in the city began to gradually rise due to rumors that the Western fleet would return.

The merchant who rented the Lowangjing courtyard was originally a home buyer. It was too late when he arrived in Haizhou City, and the housing prices began to rise, and various export goods were at a price per day. The merchant was worried that the goods would rise so he could not bear it, so he changed to buying a house to rent a house. At that time, the small courtyard in Lowangjing had just been renovated, and the merchant rented it first. It happened that this made the house bought by Lowangjing not idle for a day.

After becoming the landlord, the two families inevitably dated. Later, it was inspired by this businessman that Luo Wangjing planned to hoard goods. Originally, Luo Wangjing was thinking about renting the courtyard behind him first, and he would exercise around. Now he is a free official in the county who is like a chief clerk. Anyway, he is a Jinshi and becomes an official, and he is already a cheap magistrate Qu Zhifeng.

Unexpectedly, I didn’t expect that Qu Zhifeng, a "same Jinshi", dared to look down on the famous Jinshi master, and refused to say “I dare not insult the gentleman”. He is really a “slander”.

The chief clerk in Haizhou County has been vacant for a long time, and even the juren are unwilling to take office. They all think that it is already bad to be a magistrate in "Fuguo County". To be a scapegoat under the magistrate - the chief clerk, the birthday boy is even more willing to eat arsenic and is looking for trouble for death. But even such an official, Qu Zhifeng, the old man, refused to give it to Luo Wangjing, which made him resentful.

However, after this experience, Luo Wangjing knew that his career was completely hopeless. On that day, he was disheartened and planned to take back the small courtyard he rented out and open a private school to live by teaching. In this way, he had daily income and had a replenishment of fields in the farmland, so that he could live a relaxed and comfortable life.

Of course, Lo Wangjing went to meet with the tenant - after all, he had to take back his house after renting it out, and he felt a little embarrassed. But at the banquet, the tenant accidentally changed his mind: That's right, the price of goods is relatively low every year from late autumn to winter; after the Spring Festival, the price of goods began to rise, and when the monsoon came, the price of foreign trade goods was the highest in the year. After this period, sea ships went out to sea, merchants no longer had the desire to buy, and the price of goods gradually fell, until the spring of the following year, and the prices continued to rise and fall again.

I happened to have a large amount of spare money in my family. Seeing the ropes tied with copper coins rot, it was not a solution. I am now a city native and relying on renting a house... I have been to the capital and have seen the world of Lo Wangjing, who has felt that such tight-knit days are really depressing.

Now that I have a house and have spare money on hand, it is better to stock up on some goods - porcelain is easy to break, tea is easy to deteriorate, but silk and Shu brocade. Even if the price drops, it will not fall much. It is better to stock up on any goods than to stock up on silk and Shu brocade. Even if there is no maritime merchant to buy it, I can repay it at least to guarantee the capital.

So, Lo Wangjing quickly acquired a batch of Shu brocade. The price of this batch of Shu brocade was nearly doubled in the warehouse for a few days, and the price had nearly doubled. Lo Wangjing quickly sold the goods in his hand - and sold them to his tenants. In the blink of an eye, the money on hand almost doubled. Lo Wangjing was delighted, but found that the people who bought his goods made more money. In the remaining days, the price of Shu brocade rose every day. Two days ago, it was said that shops in Bianliang City in Tokyo sent people to Haizhou to buy some goods for their own stores, so as not to be underestimated by the noble ladies in the capital when purchasing New Year's goods.

Only then did Luo Wangjing realize that this year, there were no Shu brocade sold anywhere except Haizhou.

But in this way, Haizhou merchants were still searching for crazily. Why did they search for so much?... Then, Lo Wangjing heard the news about the Western fleet.

Next, all goods in Haizhou City were rising prices. When Lowangjing took action a little later, the price of Shujin had risen outrageously, but even so, Lowangjing still felt that he was not at a loss, because since he purchased it, the price of Shujin has continued to grow, and the goods in his warehouse have now become a huge asset.

"Well, when I make money, I will marry a business lady back and let her be the boss of my family to make money for me." Lo Wangjing held up the lights and walked towards the bedroom, while muttering in his heart: "I am a Jinshi, and I am tainted with the smell of money every day, which is a shame...well, an insult to gentleness."

However, when he thought of the word "wife", Luo Wangjing suddenly felt heartbroken. He had to put the oil lamp on the windowsill and gasp for a few breaths. After a long time, he came back and groped forward again, picked up the oil lamp, and walked into the bedroom hatefully.

"Bitch, you abandon me like a piece of grass. When I make money, do you still miss me... Well, what should I do if she asks to return to the Luo family? Do you splash water in front of the horse like Zhu Maichen, or forgive her... Ah, I will forgive her after all, but such a bad bitch with a bad reputation cannot be the main wife of the Luo family. I can promise her a concubine. When she regrets, in the future, let her serve wine, tea, and recite poems and paintings for me. "

With such thoughts, Taurangjing fell asleep.

That night, Taurangjing slept very uneasy, and the tenants next door quarreled all night. At dawn, Taurangjing, who was not sleeping, knocked on the tenant's door in annoyance and asked with a calm face: "Gaolang, you are so noisy that you can come to the door all night and let the neighbors come to me."

After saying this, Luo Wangjing noticed the other party's face. He was shocked. He had not seen him for only a night. The tenant seemed to be ten years old. His face was full of despair and frustration. Seeing Luo Wangjing coming to greet him, the tenant raised his face in tears and said weakly: "Brother Luo, something is wrong... Well, I should have thought of it long ago. The news about Western ships has passed. The monsoon has not entered the port yet. It is purely a fraud."

Luo Wangjing was shocked and asked quickly: "The news is true?"

The tenant looked sad: "It's true, it's not a problem anymore. The problem is: Shi Dalang, the Haizhou City, couldn't hold on anymore. He spent the whole day yesterday selling goods at a low price... Now, it collapsed and the prices were completely messed up.

It is said that merchants gathered together last night to discuss, and no one took over the goods that Shi Dalang threw out, but when the tenants first left the restaurant on Jinxiu Street in Shi Dalang, the people at the meeting began to dump goods with each other, and some even started selling sea boats and porcelain... In short, the sky collapsed overnight. Everyone no longer died, and they all wanted to throw away the goods at hand and exchange them for as much cash as they could.

Shi Dalang was willing to sell goods at one-third of the reserve price, but in order to save Haizhou merchants and maintain a basic price, Shi Dalang joined hands with several major tea merchants and sea merchants in Haizhou, and was also consuming some goods to maintain the price of goods. However, although Shi Dalang and others offered a slightly higher price than the reserve price, in the end, the price of Shujin was lower than last year's market price.

However, early this morning, before Jinxiu Street was guarding the door, there were already merchants waiting at the door. It was said that a more cruel guy jumped out - I don’t know who secretly hoarded a ship of Shu brocade, and suddenly rushed out today and sold the goods at half price last year’s market price.

Now, Shi Dalang's efforts were all over. Yesterday, the guy sent by the Beijing store secretly ate a batch of Shujin. I heard that the price was still falling early this morning, so I was not busy shipping the goods to Beijing. They were all guarding Jinxiu Street, watching the prices decline all the way... At this time, there are really people who want to buy goods and will not do anything. They have to wait until the price of each other is over and there is no way to fall before entering the market... Oh my God, there is no way out."

In an instant, it seemed as if the sky collapsed and the earth was cracking. Lo Wangjing shook, feeling a big hole suddenly cracked under his feet, and the endless abyss was opening his mouth and laughing at him...

Chapter 350 Oh my God, there is no way out,
Chapter completed!
