Chapter 503 Insider Trading Request
Lin'an, Jijia Lane, Qifu Inn.
In the guest room where Qu Huajie lived. When night fell, Bai Zhanji had already left and hurriedly informed Deng Qiuzhong to buy goods. The new guest arrived with the cover of night. The new guest was still a man, elegant, handsome, and of a good appearance. He was Liu Xiaoyuan, the chief minister of the Dayuan Privy Council and the Jiangnan visiting and purchasing commander.
Liu Xiaoyuan came alone. After lunch, he left the Ministry of Rites' Welcome Courtyard and headed straight to Wazi Lane. He entered a brothel first. When it was dark, he left the back door and walked around the bustling Wazi Lane for several times. After confirming that he avoided the suspense of the Imperial City Department, he arrived at Qifu Inn.
When Liu Xiaoyuan was in Jingzhao Mansion, he had a separate contact to go online. Now that he was in Lin'an, the Beiming Intelligence Department had no time to arrange a new contact station, so he asked Qifu Inn to temporarily serve as his online.
"Mr. Liu, Qu Huajie, the general manager of Tiandaozhuang." Qu Huajie looked at Liu Xiaoyuan, who was already old but still had some charm, who was still led in by Widow Mo (actually Widow Mo, so he naturally had a close relationship with Mo Yingniang), and introduced himself with a smile.
"Master Qu, I have long admired the name of the name." Liu Xiaoyuan made a move and sat down face to face with Qu Huajie.
Both of them were kneeling and kneeling on the brocade mat. There was a table table between them, with a few side dishes, a pot of shochu and two pairs of bowls and chopsticks on it. There were two candlesticks on the side of the table table. The big red candles were burning, but the light emitted was a little dim. Widow Mo brought the person there, and then left alone. Apart from introducing Liu Xiaoyuan to Qu Huajie, she didn't say a word.
"What's the point of being a bad name?" Qu Huajie poured a glass of wine for Liu Xiaoyuan himself, and then filled his cup with turbid soju. "Mr. Liu's name is well-known, and he didn't want to meet here."
Qu Huajie didn't know that Liu Xiaoyuan was also his own revolutionary comrade. After communicating his names, he was really surprised.
Moreover, a new plan was initially formed in my mind. It was no longer a plan to buy rice, but a big plan to make money from the Song State by taking advantage of this economic war of "speculating grain for the country".
Although Fatty Qu doesn't know how to make the plan, he firmly believes that he will win. Because he has the biggest ace in his hand: Liu Xiaoyuan!
"Mr. Liu." Qu Huajie took a deep breath and suppressed the excitement in his heart, "In the Yuan Dynasty mission, who is the main and who is the auxiliary?"
Liu Xiaoyuan was stunned and replied: "I am the master of the following."
Although the status of the Han people is generally not as good as that of Semi. However, Liu Bingzhong and Liu Xiaoyuan were both important officials of Kublai Khan. Pu Shougen was the Semi who surrendered to the past in the Southern Dynasty. Their closeness and alienation between the two were obvious, so Kublai Khan certainly attached more importance to Liu Xiaoyuan.
Qu Huajie laughed: "Okay! That's good!"
Liu Xiaoyuan's status is higher than Pu Shougen. In other words, in this battle of "using grain instead of soldiers", Liu Xiaoyuan was the head coach of the Mongolian side! With him informing and secretly cooperating, if Qu Huajie loses to Pu Shougen again, it will be completely unreasonable!
The conversation between Fatty Qu and Liu Xiaoyuan lasted until the early morning of the next day. After nearly five hours of conversation, neither side was at all sleepy.
During the talks, Liu Xiaoyuan told Pony Qu's Fatty Qu that he knew, including the amount of funds he had, the rough hype plan, and his cooperative relationship with Jia Sidao, and so on.
After listening to Liu Xiaoyuan's statement, Fatty Qu's brows were slightly locked, as if he was thinking hard. Liu Xiaoyuan didn't understand business, but he also knew that this time the matter was extraordinary, so he just looked at the other party quietly, as if he wanted to get an answer.
"Pu Shougen is now eating a lot of late appointments that expire on September 15th, and these late appointments were established by famous large grain merchants in the Song Dynasty... In other words, Pu Shougen regarded these large grain merchants as their biggest opponents."
"Big grain merchants? Isn't it our Ming Dynasty?" Liu Xiaoyuan asked back.
"Of course it's not the Ming Dynasty... Our Ming Dynasty wants rice this summer. It's not the autumn and winter... The rice delivered on September 15th has nothing to do with us. Even if Pu Shougeng has stock, we won't ask him to get the goods. So his target cannot be us, but he can only be a wealthy businessman in the Song Dynasty."
Qu Huajie's analysis is very reasonable. In fact, the shortage of grain in the Beiming Dynasty or the Eastern Tang Dynasty and the Western Yuan Dynasty are both a subject. The theme of speculating on grain prices is a reason for the price surge. We cannot really expect the Beiming to be the final takeover.
The market price Pu Shougeng was about to open was 20 million to 50 million. Even if it was less, when the price of grain reached 5 jin, 100 million coins were needed to take over. Chen Dexing, Kublai Khan, Li Guan and one jin would not have that much money. If they wanted to make them pay 100 million coins, the three of them would rather send troops to destroy the Southern Song Dynasty, as if this would be much easier.
So the person who took over must be from Song! He must be from the local tyrants, evil gentry and rich people from Song. They are not short of money in the whole world, and they can take out so much money.
The grain merchants who now had a contract with Pu Shougen must be one of the dealers in the end. Because Pu Shougen would definitely not ask these grain merchants to take out tens of millions of stones of rice to deliver that, Pu Shougen was dead! Where did he have tens of millions of coins to buy rice?
Even if there is, then the rice will only cause mold and insects in his hand!
As for what methods Pu Shougeng uses, Qu Huajie doesn't know, but it doesn't matter... because Liu Xiaoyuan will know soon!
"Let the rice merchants not get the rice to deliver?" Liu Xiaoyuan thought for a moment, then suddenly frowned, "There is a way! There is a way... I know this without asking about it!"
"What's the solution?"
Liu Xiaoyuan said: "War! As long as Yanjiangfang Town fights with the Song Dynasty court, or there is a possibility of fighting, then the rice from the upstream and Huaixi may not be able to reach Jiangnan. The rice from Huaidong alone is not enough for 20 million stones!"
Although the Chip Agreement in this era is futures, it is different from futures that do not involve physical delivery in later generations. Most merchants in this era are relatively honest, paying attention to integrity in business, and not very accustomed to short-term futures speculation. Since those big grain merchants have made a Chip Agreement with others and received a deposit, they will go to the other company to order the goods. If these grain merchants in the Song Dynasty have the same brain as those of the financial giants on Wall Street in later generations, they dare to make big money without the supply. Even if they borrow Pu Shougeng’s courage, they will not dare to speculate on Chip Agreement.
Moreover, when the upstream grain cannot be shipped to Zhenjiang Rice City on time, those grain traders who have made late appointments will definitely try their best to buy spot brown rice for delivery. And how much spot brown rice is there on the market? If major grain traders rush to buy and stop selling at the same time, how can the grain price not soar?
"Yes! That's the way!" Qu Huajie clapped his hands, "Mr. Liu is indeed a clever plan! Mr. Liu, what do you think Pu Shougeng has the ability to make Yanjiang Fang Town and the Song Dynasty go to war?"
"I know this too!" Liu Xiaoyuan snorted coldly, "Of course I'm asking for advice!"
When doing business, Liu Xiaoyuan is not as good as Pu Shougeng, but if you have to play conspiracy, ten Pu Shougeng plus one is not as good as Liu Xiaoyuan.
"Then Mr. Liu has a way?"
"There are too many ways!" Liu Xiaoyuan snorted, "It will certainly be more difficult to fight, but it is easier to make a small fight. Carry out assassination, or buy some Fangzhen troops to attack the imperial army at a high price, or release rumors that the imperial court is preparing to cut off a certain Fangzhen, or spread rumors that a certain Fangzhen has secretly surrendered to Beiming... In short, if you have money, you can make a devil's push. As long as you are willing to spend 100,000 yuan, you can create a mess!"
Liu Xiaoyuan suddenly stood up and walked a few steps inside the room, "Mr. Qu, since we have guessed Pu Shougeng's method, how do you plan to defeat him?"
"Kill him?" Fatty Qu hummed twice, "I am a businessman."
Although he was also a lord, he was not an official from the Northern Ming Dynasty, nor even a priest from the Tiandao Sect. He was just the general manager of the Tiandao Village. Like an ordinary bank manager, he could get a commission from the profits of the Tiandao Village.
"I only care about the profits of Tiandaozhuang," said Fatty Qu, "How much does Pu Shougen earn and just want to make money together."
"Follow it up?" Liu Xiaoyuan frowned, "You can buy rice North Movement..."
"This is two things," Fatty Qu touched his fat chin and smiled sneered, "What Your Highness Ming wants is fresh rice, not Chi Yuemi. I have already taken someone to buy it secretly, but it's just a higher price. If you don't have a penny, you'll have two pennys, and if you don't have two pennys, you'll have three pennys. Even if you get three pennys on average, 2.5 million shiji is only 7.5 million shiji. But what if I make an appointment with 50,000 shiji? As long as I get three pennys, 50,000 shijiji will make more than 8 million shiji. It's equivalent to not spending a penny, 2.5 million shijiji will be more than hundreds of thousands more!"
"It's not all three stakes? Pu Shougeng seemed to want to make the rice price more than five stakes."
"Haha, this will not only make 2.5 million stones of rice in vain, but also make more than one million yuan!" Qu Huajie looked at Liu Xiaoyuan with a smile, "Mr. Liu, whether this deal can be accomplished depends entirely on you. If this matter can be accomplished, brothers will make the decision and share a 10% profit to Brother Mingjing!"
A 10% profit is more than one million yuan, but this money is definitely worth it! According to later generations, what Qu Huajie and Liu Xiaoyuan want to do is insider trading. Through Liu Xiaoyuan, Qu Huajie can be said to have completely mastered the opponent's trump card, and it is really difficult not to win money.
Of course, this does not mean that Qu Huajie doesn't have to do anything now. He can win more than one million yuan by just lying down. Now, there is another important thing that must be done as soon as possible, quietly. This is to build a position. Not only do you have to buy spot, but you also have to buy late appointments, and you can't alert the snake to Pu Shougen to discover it. However, it is not easy to do this. At least, the Tiandaozhuang managed by Qu Huajie is not successful. This must be used to use the complete set of intelligence networks set up in Jiangnan in Beiming to cooperate.
