Chapter 198: Raising the Price and Borrowing
Qian Cai followed Zhu You out of the house and came to the outside of the house, at this time, the family members in several courtyards at the gate of the house were busy building sheds, and three tables more than five feet long had been set up, with abacus, account books, pen and ink neatly placed on them.
Xu Yun was busy directing the work of the family Ding, and when he saw Zhu Youzhen and the two coming out, he explained to the two of them and walked over to the two of them, "The owner, Gongzi, don't you need so many accounts to see this momentum?" ”
Zhu Youzhen said: "Just let them wait here, it won't be long before they are used." ”
"And the price of this coupon...... How to decide? ”
Zhu Youzhen thought about it and didn't answer directly, he walked to a table and sat down, took a pen and paper and wrote down the prices of several different tickets on it, dried the ink on it and handed it to Xu Yundao: "According to this transcription, several account offices will collect one for each person at this price." ”
Xu Yun took the paper with the price written on it and looked at it, his brows couldn't help frowning, "Childe, this price is higher than the price of the coupon collected in the morning, why should the coupon be collected at a high price when it can be collected at a low price?" ”
Without waiting for Zhu Youzhen to speak, Qian Cai said on the side: "You just have to collect it." ”
"If you collect it at this price, you will only be afraid of the money in the account...... It won't last long. ”
Zhu Youzhen took out a stack of silver tickets from his body, handed him the money, and said: "Don't touch the silver in the account, just use these silver tickets to collect, a total of 500,000 taels, you send someone to exchange some cash and then collect the coupons, remember, go to a few more money houses, change less each time, don't alarm a few joint firms." ”
Qian Cai stretched out his hand to take the silver ticket and looked at it, when he left the capital, he gave Zhu Youzhen 500,000 taels of silver tickets, and now they have all returned, he said: "Son, rest assured, this is not the first time this kind of thing has been done, it will not be discovered by them, just 500,000 taels, just don't use other money, just Wan Yutai's cash is enough to pay." ”
Not long after, the shed in front of the courtyard has been all erected, and the money has been exchanged for cash, at this time, the people who came to sell the coupons, in addition to the previous Liu Youtian and the three more, after all the preparations stopped, Xu Yundang first collected the tickets of those people, because the number of people was not much, and even the time for a stick of incense had been collected.
Liu Youtian and the three of them sold tickets and got cash, and they were very happy, the only regret was that there were too few tickets in their hands.
Zhu Youzhen stood under the shed and looked at the three of them, and when he saw that a few people were about to leave with the silver, he beckoned to the three of them, and asked casually as if greeting acquaintances: "The three brothers have made a lot of money this time?" ”
Liu Youtian looked at Zhu Youzhen and said with a smile: "Thank you for your generosity, the price is relatively high, and I did make some money today." ”
"Didn't you tell some relatives, friends or neighbors to make money together? Even if you buy some from me and sell them, won't you make a lot of money? ”
Hearing Zhu Youzhen's words, the eyes of the three of them lit up, this is also a way to make money, "Thank you Gongzi for your advice, we won't bother much and leave." After speaking, the three of them ran impatiently towards the way they came.
The three of them made a lot of money by selling coupons on this day, and after they figured out Zhu Youzhen's words, they didn't even have a home, and went straight to the nearest coupon issuing shop, at this time, each of the three people was carrying dozens of taels of silver, just waiting to exchange the silver on their bodies for tickets, and then earn a few taels of silver
Price.
After the previous wave of coupon sellers was dismissed, Xu Yun and a few account offices were idle.
Zhu Youzhen said to a few people: "Don't accept the tickets issued by some small shops, such as those ready-to-wear coupons and rouge coupons." The price of the raw silk ticket is pressed to less than three coins of silver, and the tickets issued by the large and small shops are required, and the rice coupon is collected according to the market price, and the rest of the price can be appropriately raised, but the price can not be increased after today. ”
Xu Yun and several account offices responded one after another, and Zhu Youzhen went back to the courtyard with a hello for money, and no longer cared about outside affairs.
In the courtyard, Qian Cai walked beside Zhu Youzhen and asked a little puzzled: "What does the prince mean by letting the price be reduced?" ”
Zhu Youzhen did not answer Qiancai's words, but asked: "When do you think it is appropriate to borrow tickets?" ”
"Today, we can't use the matter of high-priced coupons will spread, even if there will be many people who come to issue coupons in the afternoon, it is estimated that most of them are the existing coupons in their hands, and when they want to understand the doorway to find a firm, a bank, and a printing bureau to buy coupons or borrow coupons, it will be at least tomorrow, and it will take at least two days to wait for the joint firm to react and raise the price, at that time we will also collect coupons at the current price and estimate that no one will come again, and that should be the time when the coupon price of the joint firm is the highest, I think it's the best time to borrow from them in two days. ”
Zhu Youzhen shook his head and said: "Although the price is the highest after two days, it is not the best time, at that time, you go to borrow, there is not much time left for you, even if you can borrow, the amount will not be very large, and the people of the United Firm are not stupid, they can quickly think of the risks, and when they understand it, it is impossible for you to borrow from them again, and although the tickets they lend make them lose a lot, it will not hurt their muscles and bones, It is almost impossible to dismantle them in order to complete the acquisition and stabilize the price of rice. ”
"What does Childe mean?"
"Start borrowing today, first lower the price today, borrow as much as you can, increase the price tomorrow, and mortgage the day after tomorrow."
"High, really high, I pride myself on being a business genius, compared with Childe, I am just an ordinary person, I really can't think of how Childe knows so many business means at this age."
"As for the silk ticket...... Don't borrow, buy all with cash, no matter how big or small the cloth village is all the raw silk tickets, as for the reason...... You'll find out in time. Arrange a few flexible people to go, and by the way, let them inquire which of the eight joint firms has which ticket in hand. ”
Money didn't say much, and began to arrange the matter of borrowing tickets.
Zhu Youzhen returned to the room, at this time Zhang Zhiji was holding the two ledgers to study, he had been hit by Zhu Youzhen before, and he wanted to study carefully to get back some face. On closer inspection, the contents of these two ledgers were really not as simple as he read yesterday night.
"Do you understand?"
"I can't understand some places, but I'm better than you."
"Don't you even want to read the drama when you study the ledger?"
Hearing this, Zhang Zhiji hurriedly threw away the account book, looking at the account book just to prove that he also knew some ways of doing business, but it was not worth mentioning compared to that girl.
"It's not that you're not there, I'm just passing the time with the ledger, teach me how to sing those plays."
Zhu Youzhen stretched his waist and said: "You can memorize those plays first, you can't even remember the words of the plays, and teaching you is also a white religion, but it is just a waste of time." I'm tired of a day today, I'll go make up for sleep first, and you can carry it slowly. ”
"Hey, Fifth Brother, ...... you wait"
Zhu Youzhen would pay attention to him and went straight into the inner room.
Zhang Zhiji muttered dissatisfiedly: "I also get sleepy as soon as I endorse the book, how can this be good." But thinking about the color of the water, he still patiently began to memorize the lyrics.
Since Zhu Youzhen entered the house, the number of people selling coupons under the shed in front of the door has gradually increased, and in less than an hour, there has been a long queue in front of several tables under the shed, and Xu Yun and the three account rooms are a little busy.
The hot scene outside the popular courtyard made those who didn't know about it also come to inquire about the matter here, and when they heard that the coupons were collected at a high price, they went home to get the coupons to sell, and even Liu Youtian and the three of them ran back and forth three times.
The front of the mansion has been busy until the unitary hour, and the long queue behind it is still growing, and if it goes on like this, the number of people who collect coupons overnight will not decrease, and at this time, Xu Yun and the other three bookkeepers are tired and a little sour.
Xu Yun stood up and patted the people outside the team: "Today will be closed for half an hour, it will stop before dark, and the people in the back will come over early tomorrow." ”
As soon as they heard Xu Yun's words, the people behind immediately shouted, "We have been queuing for a long time, stop when we say stop, haven't we stood here for half a day in vain?" These people shouted like this, but in fact, they were only worried that there would be no such high price after today, so they would make a lot less money.
Xu Yun has been in the mall for a long time, and he has seen a lot of people of all kinds, how could he not figure out the thoughts of these ordinary people, so Xu Yun shouted at the noisy crowd behind him and comforted: "Don't worry, we don't just accept this day, the next days are still long, we have been busy here for an afternoon, we always have to drink saliva and eat hot food, right?" What's more, it's going to be dark, do you want us to hold the lamp and collect coupons? ”
When Xu Yun said this, some people who felt that they couldn't get in line for half an hour withdrew from the crowd and left, but there were still a few people who still shouted unrelentingly.
Xu Yun didn't argue with those people either, and seemed to be inadvertently pulling the abacus to register the account book, while complaining: "The more you shout about us, the easier it is to make mistakes here, if you feel that you have lost money, you can sell it elsewhere, you don't have to make noise here, but it affects other people to sell coupons, if you find the wrong silver, don't blame me." ”
As soon as these words came out, those who were in front of the queue immediately stopped talking, and there was no need for Xu Yun to say it, and the few people who were shouting in the back were suddenly driven out by others.
Even if it was half an hour, it was still dark when it was about to end, and Xu Yun instructed the porter to give a few people the lights, and only then did he end collecting coupons before it was dark.
After all the coupon sellers left, Xu Yun and the three account offices spent half an hour accounting twice, and only after confirming that they were correct did they seal the account books, tickets, and silver, and then asked someone to carry the silver into the treasury and collect the tables and chairs.
In just one afternoon, I received 120,000 taels of silver in tickets.
