Just look at the truth and go to cheat my father

Just look at the truth and go to cheat my father

At this time, Shi Chuan was standing at the entrance of the Jinxiu Guild Hall with a group of people.

The Jinxiu Association has always been a large construction site, and its annexes are fragmented and never completed. The three-star class responsible for this building has been focusing on the Rose Garden this year, so the Jinxiu Association’s buildings have adopted the method of cooperative construction. The three-star class produces drawings and guides the construction, and the specific projects are contracted by four or five construction teams. These construction teams are equivalent to subcontractors, and each team is responsible for one of the construction... Fortunately, after two or three years of continuous efforts, the overall project of the Jinxiu Association is about to be completed.

This guild hall is actually a complex, composed of different functional areas, with a circular ring attic in the center. The exterior of the attic is a bit like a Tujia Building, with neatly arranged small windows from one to three floors. Among them, the small windows on the third floor are hung out with various family emblems and business signs. Such a listing behavior is not a good fortune or an advertising behavior, because idle people cannot enter the guild hall and have no wealth, so they can only stand outside the door to swallow saliva. Therefore, the people in the museum do not care about showing off. The small windows with business signs are just private rooms purchased by major families and business banks.

This loft is the main trading hall, also known as the bulk trading hall. Around this main trading hall, it is a square, authentic Song-style two-story loft-style building - this square outside and round shape is exactly the opposite of the copper coin shape. These lofts are classified trading halls, and conduct various professional trades in different categories, such as tea-Piao Tianwen-going to the third floor's own private rooms... Oh, Haizhou now calls these private rooms "trading seats". The best view of the entire building is the third floor. Those who can have private rooms on this floor are rich people. Usually, there are eight wives guarding the entrances of four stairs, isolating the idle people, so this floor looks very quiet.

There are not many idle people in the corridor on this floor - the private room is inlaid with large glass windows on Chi Xin, so that the people in the private room can observe the movements at the trading desk at any time without leaving the house. Over time, this convenience makes the wealthy people who are qualified to own private rooms like to bring two or three friends, while sitting in the private room having wine and food, waiting for the transaction of their goods to end, or waiting for the goods they are interested in appearing.

Of course, most wealthy people actually do not have the interest in managing their business in person every day. Professional managers in the Song Dynasty were very professional, so these trading seats are usually used the rich butlers. Only in special circumstances do the rich people come to take the helm themselves - today is a special situation. Therefore, the third floor is full, and everyone who appears is "real guys" with millions of dollars in wealth.

…Well, if you look closely, the building is very similar to the early London Exchange. The early exchange was a large tavern where people exchanged business information and transactions while eating and drinking.

Modern economists and historians generally recognize that during the Song Dynasty, there were three giant commodity trading centers in the world at the same time... However, this is the saying that Western economists put gold on their faces. In this era, the London Exchange was a very small building. The Paris Exchange was a little bigger, but not much bigger. Only Jieshou Lane in Tokyo Bianliang City, where is the real "billionaire" club.

However, the Jieshou Lane of Bianliang City is not qualified to enter. This "world wealth center" that Western historians talk about has become unknown in China due to the later tampering and burning of the Qing Dynasty. However, there is no chance to see the truth in this life. It is difficult to understand what the Song version of the exchange is... The pattern of his trading center is simply imitated by the London Exchange four hundred years later, namely: a leisure square mixed with cafes, teahouses and exchanges.

Shi Chuan walked to the highest floor. In front of the private room he owned, Shi Shiyilang (Shi Yanei) and Shi Dalang stopped for a moment. Dong Xuan simply couldn't help but walk to the railings of the building corridor and looked down, looking worried - their eyes were staring at the trading pool in the trading center.

In the round trading pool, four or five traders were holding giant blond boards in their hands to show them around. From time to time, a child went over to whisper to the accountant. The accountant immediately wrote a note to let the child pass it to the trader holding the blond board. The trader then took the blond board, wrote down a huge new price on the board with chalk, and then raised the blond board to display it to the surrounding building gallery.

The plates raised now are written with the Shu brocade in bright red cinnabar above, and a row of new numbers below. Traders held the wooden boards to display them in a circle. Everyone who saw the new price of Shu brocade sighed and shouted: "This price is... too outrageous."

Most of the shouting came from the guests on the first and second floors of the corridor. Those guests often occupied a table alone, called a pot of tea and two dishes of dried fruit, and stared at the trading situation nervously. They called the children from the exchange from time to time and whispered a few words - those children had been worn in a very bad way... Well, it would be called "vard" - now their official name is called "red vest".

Dong Xuan looked pale and said with her lips trembling: "What is the price... Is there such a price?"

A businessman came out of the nearby box and bowed to Shi Chuan Gong. The man Shi Yanei also knew him, so he greeted him casually. After the greeting, the man did not walk away. He approached the building corridor with Shi Chuan and leaned over to look at the movement of the trading pool...

Looking at the busy trading in the market, Shi Chuan couldn't help but sigh: If Jieshou Lane continues to be glorious, if the Song Dynasty can continue, will the template of the "World Trading Center" be London style or Jieshou Lane? Jieshou Lane was destroyed by war, what will the end of my Jinxiu Lane?...Ah, no matter what, I must ensure that Jinxiu Lane has a long history.

The trading style of Jinxiu Lane is actually a style that combines things. The tables distributed on each floor do not look like office desks for trading seats, but more like small dining tables in teahouses. Those sitting on the tables are not professional donors. Most of them are scattered merchants holding actual goods, and the price of the transaction is not the result of private negotiation between the two parties - this seems a bit Westernized. However, business pursues fair transactions. In the strong commercial atmosphere of the Song Dynasty, the "display public transaction method" launched by Shi Chuan did not face much resistance. Many people think that this trading method can better prevent themselves from suffering losses and being deceived.

The merchant next to Shi Chuan was the second largest tea merchant in Haizhou. He looked around and saw that the merchants had no response to the price for a long time, so he rushed Shi Chuan and said, "One hundred Shu brocades, I will support them today and eat these goods."

Dong Xuan reached out to grab it, but immediately he put down his hand dejectedly. Seeing the merchant calling a red vest, he whispered a few words, and the red vest ran towards the trading pool. At this time, another red vest who rushed towards the trading pool snatched the first, and he whispered to the trader for a few words. The trader immediately picked up a red fen pen, made a big hook on the blackboard, and wrote two words: "Transaction".

The tea dealer shrugged, spread his hands, and said regretfully: "It's too late to start, but it's actually quite cheap."

Dong Xuan murmured: "Why did it be sold? Such a low price."

At this moment, a lot of people came from the trading hall on the third floor. Looking at the movement of the trading pool by the railing, Dong Xuan saw that there were many people and said nervously: "Maybe the price will rise."

Dong Xuan was wrong. In fact, the director of this disaster caused by Shu Jin was Shi Yanei and Shi Chuan - and himself.

For Shi Chuan, if you sell goods with your left hand and eat them with your right hand, the loss you pay is just a transaction fee. Occasionally, a few goods are snatched away by others, which is nothing. Nowadays, most people in the Song Dynasty do not understand the techniques of speculation, buying, reselling in the modern sense - of course, they can study them sooner or later, but today, they can't do it. Today, with the speculation skills of Shi Chuan, with the full cooperation of the Shi family, the price of Shu Jin fell helplessly to the bottom.

The whole day, the price of Shujin fell unilaterally. When night fell, the exchange closed its stalls, and another scene with the characteristics of the Song Dynasty was staged. Several servants stepped forward to move the tables and chairs in the trading pool, and the trading pool suddenly became a stage. The people who came on stage brought musical instruments, played and sang, and with the sound of silk and bamboo, they tried their best to create an atmosphere of singing and dancing to peace... Unfortunately, no one present had the feeling of singing and dancing to peace.

Shi Yanei wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Okay, okay, this fight today is even more tiring than a fight that I had been fighting for a day. I was sweating a lot all over my body. If this continues, I don't know how thin you will look like."

Dong Xuan tried her best to maintain a calm appearance. He nodded gently and said accordingly: "It's indeed a bit thrilling."

The second largest tea merchant in Haizhou next to him wiped his sweat and whispered: "Oh, I can't come to this place. My heart kept beating all day long, it was like a life-threatening person."

"That's right, the exchange is really messy - we can't continue to mess like this. We give the entire rule of the exchange," Shi Chuan said in annoyance.

Most businessmen misunderstood Shichin's words. They thought it was this unilateral decline that Shichin felt unbearable, so they had to set rules to save the market - this is exactly what they were happy to see. Who would be willing to continue to shrink their property?

"It's exactly-" The second tea merchant in Haizhou quickly stated: "It's better to have a day than choose a day. Today, the Huang family is also present. With my family, I can account for half of the Haizhou tea market. Look, the Liu family and Ma family are also here. The representative of our four major tea merchants, Haizhou tea market, Shi Dalang and two Shi Yanei, can represent... Haizhou... 20% of the shops."

When the second tea merchant in Haizhou said that when he was wearing Shi Yanei, his tongue was slightly knotted. He wanted to say "the two represent the whole of Haizhou's private salt industry"... But can this be said? So he quickly changed the fire and talked about the retail industry. However, everyone present knew what he really wanted to say, and everyone was pursing their lips and laughing secretly.

Shi Chuan reached out and drew a circle, put all the luxury business districts on the third floor in, and joked with a smile: "Do you still need to take stock? Take these people on the third floor, not to mention Baoyuan Haizhou Business, at least we can talk to Haizhou, and there will be a major earthquake. I didn't say that. Everyone, come back to the box with me and let's discuss how to formulate transaction rules."

"No problem", the merchants present echoed each other, and many merchants replied in a crying voice: "Hurry up, it's only been two days, and the price has fallen to something. I hope that the porcelain will not affect it tomorrow... Make the rules quickly."

The group of people were communicating with each other. A red vest led a merchant upstairs. The man was covered in silk and satin, covered with various jade artifacts, and even his hat was inlaid with large pearls. He walked around with the momentum of "I am rich, I am rich." Under the guidance of the red vest, he bowed his hand: "I heard that Shi Dalang has tens of thousands of Shu brocades in his hand. I wonder what price Shi Dalang is willing to sell it?"

This is to disrupt the situation, but Shi Chuan and Shi Yanei have been planning for half a year, and they are not afraid of such disruptors. So Shi Chuan turned around and replied indifferently: "I was quick at the moment. Not only did I take over all the Shu brocades on the market in Shuzhong this year, but I also booked 80% of the output in Shu next year - this is called futures. I wonder if I want spot or futures?"

The output of Shu brocade is not high. In the Song Dynasty, it was common to weave a piece of Shu brocade for two or three years. Higher Shu brocade for more than ten years was also common, so people who weave Shu brocade for several generations often operate it - this makes it convenient for customers to book production next year.

The merchant who came to disrupt the situation was not surprised by Shi Chuan's words. He smiled gently and nodded, "I am from Bianliang City, Tokyo. Now that the New Year is beginning, the owner is urging goods very tightly, and the nobles in the palace are also anxious. Our boss asked his colleagues for help from many years of friendship, and only half of the nobles in the palace are worth half of the nobles in the palace. I heard that now, the bulk goods are in the hands of Shi Dalang. Can you borrow one or two of them?"

Let’s take it down, now is the off-season for sales, and the price of Shujin is extremely high. Who dares to stock up in large quantities at one time in this mediocre year of sales? As for the urgent need to be in the palace... Hehe, Shujin is a thing that is gorgeous and luxurious, but even the emperor refuses to do so - because silk is easy to wrinkle. In ancient times without irons, it was troublesome to keep it clean. When you wrinkle clothes to meet guests, even if you are the emperor, it would be rude.

So this thing is to wear it when you meet a guest, and then turn around and take it off and iron it quickly - who is patient with getting dressed and taking off and changing clothes all day long?

Shi Chuan's face showed hesitation and struggle: "Actually, I am not short of money. At present, I have made a lot of money in several industries. I have paid for the goods with cash. Now I want to take advantage of Shu Jin, but I just want to move my position a little... In addition, I am also worried that Shu Jin's price has dropped too hard, so that the goods have accumulated in my hands and lost their capital."

The merchant Mo Da said generously: "I will explain what difficulties Shi Dalang has."

Shi Chuan nodded gently: "If I trade according to the price in the market, then I would rather keep the goods covered and never take action until the price rebounds."

Moda businessman said: "The price is easy to negotiate."

Shi Chuan nodded: "Then I will sell a thousand pieces in one batch and will never sell them."

Mo Da Merchant hesitated for a moment, but nodded immediately: "I want to purchase 500 horses. Although the number of one thousand horses is a bit large, it can be affordable."

Shi Chuan pointed with one hand: "Okay, let's go into the house to discuss."

After saying that, Shi Chuan Chong Shi Yanei lost his eyes and bowed to the merchants to ask them to wait. Then he led the merchant surnamed Mo into the private room. However, after a few discussions, a red vest ran in: "Dalang, Shi Yanei asked me to tell you: It's falling again. Someone came to send the goods just now and asked to sell 400 pieces tomorrow morning, and the price dropped by half a percentage."

Shi Chuan pretended to glared at the red vest. When the merchant surnamed Mo heard this, he immediately stood up, but immediately felt that he had lost his composure and slowly sat down. He thought to himself: Four hundred horses at a time are not far from his target number. If Shi Dalang insists on not reducing the price, then you might as well look at it for a few more days until the price of Shu Jin stabilizes. Oh, if Shi Dalang is still unwilling to lower the price in the end, it depends on the level of trading activity, even if he temporarily buys goods in the market, he can buy the required quantity.

Mo Da Merchant was no longer anxious. He started to wear a perfunctory word when he was perfunctory. Seeing that Shi Chuan was unwilling to lower the price, he waved his hand and said casually: "Since Dalang is unwilling to lower the price, I will just take action and buy these 400 pieces to play with."

The red vest bowed and replied: "Officer Mo, the four hundred Shu brocades have been bought. Now the one who sells the license plate is fifty Shu brocades, and the price is slightly lower than before. Should the official Mo buy them?"

Official Mo said "Oh": "Fifty horses, the quantity is too small, it is really troublesome to collect them bit by bit. Next time there will be hundreds of horses, please notify me."

Immediately, Official Mo stood up and said goodbye. Shi Chuan pretended to keep a few words. When Official Mo left, Brother Shi flashed in and asked, "What's the origin?"

Shi Chuan thought about it and replied: "He heard that there were lower prices and he looked very excited. It seemed that he was here to disrupt the situation, but the goal was not us... we will start to disperse the hot spots tomorrow to see how much money he has to spend with us."

Next, it's time to discuss the transaction rules. The merchants are fighting fiercely about the details of the rules, and they all want to leave loopholes to facilitate their future exploitation... They are not in a hurry to guide such arguments, and some people will not be in a hurry until they are in a hurry.

So, the next day, Shu brocade seemed to be no longer a hot topic, and porcelain became the target of destruction, and the price fell all the way, and it was not very popular. At the same time, the number of Shu brocades that continued to be released was not large, often dozens of horses, and the number of more than a dozen horses was often bought by people before the merchant took action. Then, the price of Shu brocades entered the consolidation period.

Correspondingly, the price of porcelain continued to decline for two or three consecutive days, while tea-piao Tianwen-freely chose several goods to follow up, and kept talking to Shishi... Depending on the situation, the first broker in ancient times seemed to be born in the Song Dynasty.

"The ancients were not stupid," Shichi said: "I can see the trick inside so quickly. I am planning to sell highs and buy lows... Where did this guy get so much money?"

Shi Yanei next to him grinned and suggested: "Why do you arrange a few flower boys to look at him? Oh, no, flower boys are tall and big, they are the ones who are causing the accident at first sight. Let your family go to the idle. Anyway, there are many people in Haizhou who are willing to work hard for you - he will never hire a idle, right?"

Shi Chuan thought about it and ordered Mu Shun with a peaceful look on his face: "Send someone to inquire about the stocking situation of the merchant surnamed Mo and when he plans to leave for the capital. We must start shaking the warehouse before he returns to Beijing - at this time, whoever wants to take advantage of me, I will definitely not let him feel good."

Shi Yanei specifically reminded: "Dalang, Luo Wangjing, I have to add some firewood to make him unable to stand his temper."

Shi Chuan agreed with a smile: "Don't worry, in the unilateral decline, there are always people who think that it can rise, so there are many people holding up goods. And... those merchants who want to take advantage of loopholes have not seen what real dealers are, and have not seen the harm caused by the corruption of rules - we start from tomorrow. Those who buy at low prices have suddenly risen, and they think that this change of hands can be sold for a few dollars. They will definitely take advantage of the high price and absorb it when the price is low. And all transaction records are in our hands, and it is convenient for us to do when we want to do it."

Shi Yanei was happy: "Dalang, I just like you talking about conspiracy and tricks with a righteous face, which makes me feel itchy."

Shi Kui couldn't help but interrupt: "Dalang, Shiyilang, I heard that this club is your property. I have watched your actions these days. To be honest, I can't understand. Now I don't say the principle of "flying the lake and fishing" and "killing chickens to get eggs". You all understand these principles. I only remind you one sentence: Don't make mistakes."

Shi Yanei's words to his elder brother have always been like a breeze. He expressed his joy and did not refute. Shi Chuan nodded and responded: "This club will be a golden rooster who can lay eggs in the future. Of course, we will not do stupid things to kill chickens and get eggs. It's just that we are dealing with Lo Wangjing now. The important thing is to formulate the entire set of trading rules - not let them see the power of hype, I'm afraid they won't care.

Haha, yanei, when the transaction rules are established, we will put a bridle on the transaction. yanei, we can just lie down and collect the money from now on."

Yanei slapped the fat on his belly and replied with a smile: "Dalang, I found that you like to collect money when you are lying down, okay... Actually, I also like to collect money when you are lying down."
