36. Situation Reversal
(Today I recommend it, the recommendation effect will roughly determine the future direction of this book. I am very frank and please collect it, please recommend it!)
Chang'an West City.
People were talking a lot.
"Hey, have you heard of it? The food prices seem to have risen to a big deal recently and have fallen."
"I heard about it, so I plan to take this opportunity to buy some."
"If I were you, wait."
“Why?”
"The food prices have been falling these days. Why not wait until it drops to the lowest level? Once there are signs of rebound, it will be cost-effective to buy them again at that time."
"So that's it. Brother, you're very careful in your calculations!"
"So tighten your belt first and hold on for a few more days."
"It's so good. Those unscrupulous merchants want to buy when the price increases, but they don't. Now the price is lowered, and they want to sell, but we don't buy it!"
"The profitable businessman is a profitable businessman. He doesn't care about the lives and death of the people, and there is no good thing!"
"Haha, I hope the food price will drop lower than before, so I can see that they will not cry to death."
"I deserve to cry to death!"
...
Inside Daxing Commercial Bank.
The helmsmen of several major grain traders gathered together, and the atmosphere here was a little more tense than the atmosphere in the court a while ago.
"Shopkeeper Cui! We listened to you before, hoarding grain for sale. Now the price of grain has fallen for three days. Do we still have to sit here and wait?"
"Yes, Manager Cui, if the grain prices keep falling, we won't make much money at all!"
"What do you know? Now the grain in Guanzhong is only allowed to be imported and not allowed to be released. We have hoarded so much. If we can't sell it, it's not a problem of making less."
"Li Shimin is so cruel!"
"But we have no choice. You haven't seen those civilians support this edict very much, and they reversed the image of collusion between officials and businessmen in the court in one fell swoop."
"Now there are not many people who scold Li Shimin anymore, they are all scolding us!"
"Shopkeeper Cui, what do you think we should do?"
"yes!"
"yes!"
...
Manager Cui, a middle-aged man with a bronze face sitting in the upper position, frowned.
"What are you panic? What are you panic? The food is in our hands, what are you afraid of?"
He said that, but in fact he had no idea.
This morning he realized that the situation was not good and had arranged for someone to ask the person in charge of the family what countermeasures he had. There was no return, and he did not dare to act rashly.
At present, there has been a sudden increase in unknown amounts of grain on the market, and the price is outrageously low, which has indeed had a certain impact on grain prices.
But the specific impact is still under evaluation.
Instead of rushing to find yourself to argue, these brainless guys might as well pay more attention to the changes in the market.
For example, the source of these foods cannot emerge out of thin air.
The grain merchants who obviously wanted to enter the pass and get a share of the pie were basically dismissed!
Don't understand.
However, other grain merchants are not Yi Yu, how could they give up just by saying a word?
"Shopkeeper Cui! You can't say that, food is no more than gold, silver and jewelry, it doesn't matter how long it takes to keep it."
"Yes! Our warehouse capacity is limited, and a lot of food is stored casually. If God changes his face and causes a disaster like last year, the losses will be immeasurable!"
Those who say this regret it.
If Manager Cui hadn't said he was confident in controlling the grain market in Guanzhong, how could they have taken this risk?
To put it bluntly, they are fighting against the court!
"If I had known this would happen, when Li Shimin bought grain at a high price, we would sell it to him."
"When he issued this edict, when the food price was at its highest, we actually missed this excellent opportunity!"
"Shopkeeper Cui, has your Cui family not received any news?"
"It's too careless!"
For a moment, everyone sighed regretfully.
Manager Cui’s face looked even more ugly.
"What? Are you teaching me how the Choi family does things?"
As soon as he said this, the grain merchants took the reputation of Cui's family in Qinghe and bowed their heads and stopped talking.
But the dissatisfaction on his face became heavier.
"You guys go back first. I will notify you as soon as possible what to do next."
Manager Cui said coldly: "Anyway, don't worry, as long as we unite, the food price will not be out of our control!
I am busy with business and will not send guests away.”
After saying that, he got up and went.
The grain merchants looked at each other, sighed helplessly, and left one after another.
