Four hundred and seventieth chapters kill chickens with a butcher knife(1/2)
Chapter 477: How to use the slaughter knife to kill a chicken
The heavy rains relieved the worries of those who plowed spring, but also made the road difficult.
The road surface of Henan Road is also muddy. Only in the wealthy villages, a few cement paths will be built for people to walk on. As for the mud and sand in the mainland, it is not that they cannot afford to pay for money, but that they cannot afford to waste animals.
When walking on concrete roads, the wheels are damaged less often, but the animals' hooves are worn out very much. When they put on their palms, they damage the road surface. Before bicycles were popularized and cars were invented, they could only use dirt roads.
The merchants who bought garlic estimated the distance and road conditions and felt that the profits had decreased. They also found that the water transport ships were busy transporting goods from all over the place to transport the usual goods of this season, so their enthusiasm also faded.
The price of garlic in Henan Road remains at three times the usual price. Due to speculation in the surrounding areas, it has not dropped much, but it is still about twice.
The price is still man-controlled. Otherwise, according to the new dishes released by Shuiyunjian in most restaurants and people’s homes, no one will buy garlic at all.
Fengzhi Logistics, which is responsible for Fengqiao Er, is still collecting garlic. The compensation price has been increased to five times, but the compensation period is extended. Local merchants do not send them garlic, but Huainan Road sends a lot of them, directly trapping the mortgage they just got.
Feng Qiaoer, who should have been happy, is now worried. He no longer goes to the water clouds next to Luoshui to eat the expensive dishes. He comes to a restaurant next to the bridgehead of the iron chain bridge by the Yellow River and sits by the river. He orders two cold dishes, warms a pot of wine, and looks at the rain curtain outside in a daze.
Yamamoto Kazuyashi has not been very busy recently. He just collected a batch of garlic, but the deposit was gone. He wanted to mortgage the silver and sulfur, but the prices given everywhere were very low, so Yamashi had no choice. Even if the gift he gave was not light, the other party would not let go.
"How much garlic has you collected?" Feng Qiaoer still looked outside and asked casually.
"It's about 1.4 million jin, and the current price is 27 cents per jin, and there are 21 cents in the capital. According to the ratio of our compensation, we need to pay 50,000 jin. Adding the bribes to others, it's 63,000 jin. We have only the mortgage money. There are 720,000 jins of silver and sulfur that are not successfully mortgaged. There are still 9,000 jins of successful mortgages."
Shan Temple is very familiar with this data, so she opened her mouth and said it to Feng Qiaoer.
Feng Qiaoer calculated a little and found that the garlic he collected not only did not make money, but lost it. He frowned and said, "No, this price is not good. We must increase the price to more than fifty cents to make it. Why is there so little money left? Even if one-third of the mortgage is worth nearly 100,000 guan, and the total is only 72,000 guan."
"Mr. Fengqiao, we borrowed usury loans, and we paid 130% off. We said we gave 100,000 guan, but in fact we paid 90,000 guan. When we paid back, we had to pay 130,000 guan. This is the principal, not to mention that there are donkeys rolling around and profits are profitable. The profits are unbearable, so we paid back the profits first, and there are also the cost of garlic transportation. Which warehouse rented is not money?"
Yamamoto explained.
Feng Qiaoer frowned deeper, forming a Sichuan character "Since it is nine out of thirteen, how can it be beneficial to make a comeback?"
"I made it like this at the beginning, thanks to renting the warehouse, otherwise I would have been soaked." Yamamoto replied.
"No, the price of garlic must be increased. Is there any way to get the money? Damn rainy days." Fengqiao Er began to complain about the weather.
"Yes, it is said that Datang Money House wants to mortgage silver, but for some reason, it has not been implemented, but the price has been lowered. It is said that there is too much silver recently and the market is automatically adjusted. It should be caused by the fact that our usury people sent the silver to the money house to mortgage and withdraw cash.
I guess someone wanted to use a money shop to *** us a few days ago, but later I found out that it was not done well, so I didn’t implement it, just letting out rumors. I guess it must be an order from Zhang Xiaobao that the money shop will not be allowed to directly participate in non-pure financial and economic behaviors."
Yamaji is responsible for this matter and knows it very well.
Feng Qiaoer smiled contemptuously, "Zhang Xiaobao is stupid. If I were him, I would mobilize all the resources I could mobilize to match the opponent, and even the administrative side, he would not allow it."
Yamamoto was unhappy and said that Zhang Xiaobao was stupid. He lost several encounters. Wouldn't he even more stupid? Then Feng Qiao Er said:
"Zhang Xiaobao is not stupid, he is disdainful of doing that. The part of the book he wrote was not important. It mentioned that unless there is really no way, administrative orders can be used to resolve the economic crisis. Otherwise, it is absolutely not easy to do so, otherwise it will easily cause confusion in government functions and enhance dependence on administrative orders.
Invisibly, it makes officials not distinguish between officials and businessmen, and allows officials to participate too much in economic affairs, which can cause officials to use their own power to obtain commercial benefits that they should not have obtained."
"Then his family is doing such a big deal? He is the governor of Bohai. Look at the northern part of Hebei Road, how many of his family's business are there? Say one thing to do one thing." Feng Qiaoer scoffed at this.
Yamamoto couldn't say it now. After thinking for a while, he spoke, "Maybe he will give it up in the future, right? It's not useful to say how he is, the main thing is that he must be involved in garlic matters now. We must be careful and careful, and we must not be careless, otherwise the bones will be swallowed by him."
"I don't care whether he intervenes or not, I must make the price of garlic rise, mortgage all the remaining silver to the Datang Money House, and order our people to raise the price directly in various places to purchase garlic. There are two months left. After the new garlic comes, the price of garlic will definitely rise to fifty cents per kilogram during this period."
Feng Qiaoer could not count on others, so he had to take the risk of buying it himself, hoping that the Tang Dynasty's court would not count garlic as a must-have for daily life, so as to give them a charge of hoarding.
Yamamoto and Yamaji could not think of a better solution. Seeing that Fengqiaoji insisted, he gritted his teeth and agreed.
The Shan Temple transported about 600,000 guan of silver worth to the Tang Dynasty Money House in Luoyang. According to a three-to-one ratio, it received more than 200,000 guan of cash, and distributed it to the hands of the top people from all over the country, and began to purchase it.
As soon as he took action, Fang Liuer responded without waiting for Zhang Xiaobao to give orders. He sent out the telegrams one by one, ordering various industries belonging to Bi Xiner to withdraw funds. She was already impatient when she waited for this day.
Since the money must be delivered to the people in various places, it will not work if it is too far away. The radius of the journey to purchase garlic was placed within half a month.
The news soon reached Zhang Xiaobao. Moji was also very interested in this. He specifically found Zhang Xiaobao and asked, "Zhang Xiaobao, someone has taken action, don't you take action?"
"If they don't collect garlic in person, I will take action. Since they have reached this point, they can no longer use me. The garlic I transported from Huainan Road in front will lead to other things, which will save trouble."
Zhang Xiaobao said with a smile. He didn't expect that Fengqiao Er dared to take risks and was finally forced to this point. Who told Fengzhi Logistics to ignore the weather?
Mojilian didn't understand why Zhang Xiaobao didn't take action, and was even more curious, "Then do you watch them act?"
"You will naturally know that my Tang Dynasty is not the Tang Dynasty in the past. Why do you need to kill a ox knife? I won't eat at the village at noon today, so I go to the school to see. The rain is heavy and the sky is tide these days, so I will see if the school has taken it into consideration."
Zhang Xiaobao looked at the plowing ox in the field and said to Mojilian.
"What should I eat this day?" Mojilian was puzzled.
"Show stew, add more slices of ginger, and it is best to stew radish with beef."
"I've tasted it, it's bitter."
"Of course it will be bitter if you don't peel the radish when you stew it."
"Ah? I still have to peel it?"
As Zhang Xiaobao said, he didn't need to continue to take action at all, and Feng Qiaoer's ending was confirmed.
Just as Fang Liuer used Bi Xiner's industry to snipe, other businessmen also moved.
Luoyang City, Thunder Materials Distribution Group, owner Li Chengfang, and ranked 16th in the top ranking of Monopoly. As soon as he got the news about Fengzhi Logistics, he immediately held an emergency meeting. Then a transportation team of nearly 30,000 people took action in Henan.
Suzhou Prefecture, Jinxiu Grocery, female owner Ge Yunfei, and the 24th top Monopoly ranking list, temporarily retracted 600,000 yuan and spread it regardless of success or failure.
Jiannan Road Yizhou Prefecture, Wanliu Trading, Dongluo Trading, and the top Monopoly ranked 71st. The telegram received information from the Kaifeng Office and authorized the mortgage of Wanliu Trading shares. It was proved by Yizhou that he received 800,000 yuan from the Datang Money House in Kaifeng, transferred to the Shouchun Division, purchased garlic on the spot, and sent it to Luoyang by water transportation.
Jiangnan West Road, on the banks of Dongting Lake in Yuezhou, Dongting Aquatic Products, the owner Yang Yang, is ranked 19th in the top ten Monopoly. After receiving the news, he immediately ordered the fleet to transport fish and shrimps into the capital to quickly ship, clean the ships, and look for merchants who wanted to ship garlic along the way, take short-distance transportation, and wait for the opportunity in Luoyang to transport other things back.
Hedong Road, Fenzhou...
Shannan Road...
Guannei Road...
In this way, people in the prefectures took action one after another seemed to have a tacit understanding. Anyone who took action must be among the top 100 Monopoly top rankings.
Feng Qiaoer thought that he had made the decision to buy garlic himself, which was worried that the garlic would be damaged by moisture and difficult to move forward, and so many people would snipe him.
It’s not because of how much money he has. Including the garlic in his hand, it’s only 300,000 yuan. He can find out his own personal income within 100 top rankings of Monopoly, and his net worth is more than his.
He was angry when he attacked him. Many businessmen in the Tang Dynasty looked down on him. If the top 100 people in the top rankings wanted to do this, the waves would be even bigger than those of Fengqiao II. However, one of them did not dare to do it, for fear that Zhang Xiaobao would take action, and the other was that they had a tacit understanding and were unwilling to mess up the economic environment of the Tang Dynasty.
There was already someone who wanted to deal with Fengzhilogan, but they didn't know how to disrupt the other party's logistics compensation plan. At the same time, they were worried that they would interfere with Zhang Xiaobao at will, and they were waiting.
Now I finally saw the opportunity and learned a lot from it. The easiest way is to change people's eating habits in a short period of time, offset all the other party's mortgage payments at once, and then wait for the rainy day to come.
The rest forced Fengzhi Logistics to buy garlic in person, so Zhang Xiaobao didn't need to teach him anymore. All the merchants knew how to deal with it.
That is to raise the price of garlic, so that the cost will increase when Fengzhi Logistics acquires it, and increase the price to sell garlic to Fengzhi Logistics. If Fengzhi Logistics does not buy it, then ship it at a low price, so that the price of garlic can never be raised.
Fengzhi Logistics absolutely cannot afford to consume it, so he can only take out money to swallow the goods. If you don’t swallow the goods now, you will swallow it when the new garlic comes down. If you swallow the goods now, the price will not increase. Even if he consumes it to the end, he must have money to pay. If you don’t take the money, you have to take garlic. However, there are probably not many garlic that can be preserved by then. If you want to lose less, you have to ship the goods when the garlic is not broken and the price is still high, and then wait for the new garlic to buy the cheaper ones first.
If you sell it to you at a high price, you don’t have foodies, so you can lower the price and make the garlic in your hands not sell at a high price. When the price is low, you will be foodies. When the compensation period comes, the garlic you collected will be almost broken, and the new garlic will also give you a high price.
Feng Qiaoer was stunned by the way of using money to smash people. He knew that if he held on his own, the other party would also compensate him, but if there were so many people, he would lose all of them. This would not work.
Feng Qiaoer knew this mutual hedging relationship, so scared that he didn't dare to buy garlic again. He wondered how to save the garlic he collected for as much as possible.
But he found that there was no good idea at all. If the quantity was small, there was something else to do. The problem was that there were too many now and if it was stored for a long time, it would inevitably require other things and increase the cost.
"They are really bullying people. Didn't they just see that I need to pay several times the money and compare the losses with me? I hope they can stop, let me get back the funds, take back the mortgaged silver, and find a way to sell it later. At this time, even the gods are powerless to make the world come true."
Fengqiaoji said to Yamamoto and Yamaji, who were also worried, that the meaning of the words seemed to be making excuses for failure, after all, the other party was too powerful.
If it were someone else, he might agree with him, but Yamamoto and Yamaji definitely did not agree with him. Yamamoto sighed and said, "Zhang Xiaobao is not only counting our principal, but also the weather changes and other people's thoughts. This time he did not continue to take action personally. Fengqiaojun, sell the garlic quickly. We will recognize the losses. We can make up as much as we can, and first exchange the silver of three times the value."
"So what can he do to continue to take action? Isn't it like now?" Feng Qiaoer said unconvincedly.
"Like now? Feng Qiaojun, you are dreaming. If Zhang Xiaobao continues to take action, then only we will compensate him. He will not bet with us like other businessmen. You have not really confronted him personally and don't understand his awesomeness."
Seeing that Fukuhashiji refused to admit defeat, Yamamoto was about to stand up and stared at him and scolded him with his eyes.
Shansi nodded and said, "Yes, Zhang Xiaobao cannot look at it from common sense. If you don't say anything else, just say that he is in our position now, he can also turn the tide. With the same pressure and the same principal, he will not lose. He will definitely have a way to make money under attack everywhere.
Otherwise, why do you think the merchants of the Tang Dynasty are so honest? They are doing business and are well-behaved. All merchants of the Tang Dynasty follow Zhang Xiaobao's code of conduct. Any items that must be used for life will be lowered when the price is high, and those who are low will be raised when the price is low. They are afraid of Zhang Xiaobao. They know the consequences of Zhang Xiaobao's anger, and even if they unite, they will not be opponents."
"I don't believe it, I don't believe that Zhang Xiaobao is so powerful." Feng Qiaoer shouted vigorously.
Yamamoto shook his head and sighed, "Oh~! There were many people who didn't believe in evil at the time. The Tubo man could enter the top ten of the top ten, and even had his strength hidden. When Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were fighting outside, he took action, thinking that he could seriously injure Jiannan Road.
What was the result? A letter from the family sent to Zhang Xiaobao made Zhang Xiaobao discover the problem, and then remotely controlled the man without even paying the money. Zhang Xiaobao seized the opportunity and kept ruining the Tubo.”
"Not bad." Yamaji continued: "Later, Yamamoto and I didn't believe it. We planned to fry silver and fried rice stalks, but we lost our money. We were not convinced. We also designed to go to his research site, developed a recipe for ginseng, bought a lot of cement, and then all the money was gone.
The people in Silla didn't believe it and insisted on going to Changning to deceive Li Xun's younger brother Li Yu. Li Yu ran to Xincai County to borrow money and met Zhang Xiaobao. After returning, the people in Silla paid the money to the end, but are still trapped, and they are working for others for nothing, thankless.
Later, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan went to Jili Prefecture, but suddenly they did not believe in evil, traded with Zhang Xiaobao, and joined forces with him in military affairs. As a result, the entire tribe was gone. Later, the two of them wanted to build Nihe River, but the Silla royal family was dissatisfied and arranged for Li Dong to find someone to make trouble. Now the river was paid by Li Dong and the others, and the one million yuan of road construction costs would not be returned.
You are not the first person who doesn’t agree with you, nor will you be the last person, but the endings are the same, that is, no matter whether you believe it or not, you will definitely lose against Zhang Xiaobao.”
"Then what would you do if Zhang Xiaobao was in our position?" Feng Qiaoer was unable to refute the words, so he had to ask for advice.
Yamamoto and Yamaji shook their heads at the same time, "I don't know, we are not Zhang Xiaobao."
When the three of them were considering this matter, others were also considering it, but others were more relaxed than them.
On the banks of Luoshui River, a private room on the fifth floor of the river was surrounded by the water clouds. There was a rustling sound, and then the sound became much smaller.
"East wind."
"That's great, touch, two."
