Chapter 204: Competition
"Uncle Lin, what's the matter?" Su Miao looked at Lin Jiu in a hurry, a little strange. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"It's something." Lin Jiu got straight to the point, "Didn't the Feng'an grain store report two days ago that some grain shops wanted to sell us old grain?" ”
"That's right!" Su Miao nodded, even more strange, "Wasn't this matter already discussed at that time?" She remembered that when they were talking about it, they had set the price of the old grain.
"Yes, there's something new now." Lin Jiu followed him to the courtyard where Song Chen lived, and asked people to serve them tea, then turned his head and said, "That's it-"
Song Chen and Su Miao sat down, pointed to the table and chair in front of Lin Jiu, and motioned for him to sit down and talk.
Lin Jiu was not polite, he sat down directly, and continued the topic in his mouth: "That's the case, we didn't talk about it before." Tell the shopkeepers of the grain shops that they can inform those grain shops that we can also collect the grain? Here's where it happened. ”
"Oh?" Song Chen looked at Lin Jiu and waited for his next words, "Could it be that these grain shops have repented again?" ”
"It's the opposite." Lin Jiu waved his hand, "After the grain shops sent the news out, the grain shops are now 'boiling', and now they are afraid that after the inventory in their hands is revealed, the Feng'an grain shops will regret it, and now they are rushing to ask the shopkeeper to talk, and they want to buy their house first." The shopkeepers said they needed to ask for more instructions...... Maybe the shopkeeper came to me once, and the grain merchants got the news, and now they are coming to me......"
"How much stock do they have?" Su Miao asked curiously, "This grain is being sold every day, so naturally the old ones are sold first, and then the new ones are sold, so why are there so many old grains?" Moreover, the price of stale grain is low, so don't they calculate it as a loss, and they are still doing so actively in a loss-making business? ”
"Miss Su doesn't know." No matter how smart Song Chen and Su Miao are, after all, it is the first time they have come into contact with this industry, and although Lin Jiu has never done the rice grain business before, after all, he has been in business for so many years, and the principle of touching the bypass can still be applied to him, "Dalan has smooth weather and good yields every year, so it is not wrong that the price of this rice grain is falling every year, but this price reduction is extremely stable and the magnitude is very small." But the people are all smart people, and this grain is purchased by the grain store every year, although the price of the new grain will definitely be more expensive than the old grain, but the purchase price is there, and it cannot be said how expensive it is. The emperor has been governing well over the years, and the people have gradually become more prosperous, and they are not willing to wronged themselves for so much money, so most of them buy new grain to eat. ”
"And since the price of new grain is low in and high out, the grain shop is not willing to sell it, otherwise, with such a cover, the new grain will become old grain next year. Although there is always a day when they have to dispose of the old grain in their hands, or sell it to the sake brewery at a low price, they will never waste it. But as soon as the purchase price of our Feng'an grain store comes out, not only will they not lose money, but they will also be profitable, of course they will have to scramble. It's just that after being so disturbed by them, I'm not sure how many 'goods' they have in their hands...... By the way, they even hinted that there is still room for this grain price to be lowered! ”
"It doesn't matter." Song Chen took a sip of tea and said slowly, "Uncle Lin accepts their interview. Then ask them to quote you the quantity they have first, and as for the price...... Since they say there is space, then let them make an offer first, and we will consider it after the comparison. ”
"Let them report according to the truth, but don't hide anything or anything like that." Song Chen said, "First, if this matter is negotiated, we will report the amount they reported to collect it; Second, price is not the only factor we consider when we consider who will work first. Of course, the newer the grain, the better, and if there are people who don't have food every other year, and they provide two years of food and three years of food, etc., although the price may be lower, we may also give priority to those who have food for every other year......"
After all, Lin Jiu is used to doing business, and he understood what Song Chen meant with a little brain, what he meant was to avoid those grain shops from getting together and selling those old grains for two or three years to them, but covering last year's rice grain. Of course, in this matter, this is the common sense of people who do business, even if the grain merchants do it, there is nothing to blame. But who put them at a disadvantage first! Since they are worried that they will not be able to reach cooperation, won't this right to speak fall to the Feng'an grain store?
In the final analysis, whether it is two years of grain or three years of grain is actually not a big problem for Feng'an Grain Shop. As long as the grain is good when it is harvested, Su Miao always has a way to extend the shelf life of these grains. It's just that this business is a business, and since it's profitable, why not take advantage of the trend and save some of the money?
Song Chen's words had already come to this, and Lin Jiu also understood what he meant, and he knew what was going to happen next.
Song Chen and Su Miao arrived at Lin Mansion, originally planned to rest for one night and go back to Baiyun Villa the next day, although Lin Jiu came to look for something temporarily, causing a small episode, but after making the words clear to Lin Jiu, their itinerary still did not change, and they still went out of the city early the next morning.
Originally, according to Lin Jiu's intentions, he wanted Song Chen and Su Miao to stay in Lily of the Valley City for a few days. But Song Chen and Su Miao came out this time more than they had told Xiaobai before, and they were afraid that if they went back later, Xiaobai would make any changes, and no one would be able to control it. If it runs to Lily of the Valley City, it will be better if it goes well, and it is better to cause some commotion at the city gate, anyway, the city gate where it is used to going in and out, the soldiers and generals who guard the gate already know it a little. But if you accidentally meet any characters on the road, it will not be good, Su Miao is afraid that it will suffer.
And the dried ginseng that Su Miao put in her small medicine house should also go back and collect it. That small medicine house was set up by Song Chen, and apart from her and him, even Xiaobai couldn't enter alone.
Su Miao and the others promised to come back to Lily of the Valley City in a few days, after all, they couldn't be so chic as the shopkeeper. Moreover, Su Miao also told Lin Jiu to bring him more than a dozen century-old ginseng trees and sell them in Hengqing Hall when the time came. (To be continued.) )
