Chapter 275: Making Tens of Millions
Seeing that Tang Xun's face was not in danger, everyone took back the silver money and returned to the chair to sit down.
The fourth merchant designated earlier stood up and said, "My lord, I don't have as much money as them, just this 1.5 million taels of silver bills, all of which are exchanged for spices, and there is no limit to the type, just look at it and give it." As he spoke, he took a wad of silver bills out of his bosom and placed them on the table.
Tang Xun said well, and began to calculate it on the paper, and after a while, he calculated it clearly, so while recording it in the book, he said: "One and a half million taels, give you thirty kinds of spices, a total of one and a half thousand catties, and you can check it yourself in a while." After speaking, he picked up the silver bills and counted them, counted them and put them away, and began to fill out thirty delivery documents.
"1.2 million catties of goods, put it away." Tang Xun handed over the slip.
As soon as the merchant was collected, the fifth-ranked merchant got up and said: "I don't have much money, I can't compare with the people of Lin'an, this is three million silver bills, and the goods in the booklet are 50,000 catties, and I will send the rest of the money before noon tomorrow, and I hope that the adults will be accommodating." As he spoke, he placed a large pile of silver bills on the table in front of Tang Xun.
Tang Liuniang, who was standing next to her, was dizzy for a while, are all the old men in this room millions? I thought that the Tang family had been operating medicinal materials for hundreds of years, and it was considered wealthy, but compared with these people, they were not even rich, and the family had that little money, and my father was still shouting that no one would inherit the family property, as if it was rare to inherit it. This time she came to Quanzhou, she can be regarded as an eye-opener and saw what it means to be rich.
Tang Xun already expected it in his heart, but if he really wanted to sell more than five million catties of goods to this merchant, he still had to think about it, after all, this was nearly four shipments, and the amount was huge. But now that the words have been spoken, she can't think that others will buy too much and not sell them, she can't do it in front of her, and there is no need, one hundred and ten ships, she doesn't believe it, she can be bought all of them by these people, if it is really so rich, then there is a ghost.
"It's not impossible to pay the balance tomorrow, but this delivery document can only give you forty today, and the balance will be paid before noon tomorrow, and the rest of the documents can be given to you, what do you think?" Tang Xun thought about it for a while, and then replied.
This kind of obviously unfair proposal, the merchant thought for a moment, and still replied: "Thank you for your accommodation, so it's decided." ”
After Tang Xun registered, he began to count the silver bills.
It was not easy to count three million taels, and a quarter of an hour passed when the silver bills were counted clearly and more than a hundred bills of lading were filled.
The other merchants who have not yet traded are a little anxious, like this, I don't know when it will be their turn, and I am really anxious about not trading.
When this big order transaction was completed, Tang Xun also felt a little tired, and the key person had to count the silver bills and fill in the bills, which took too much time.
"Rokuro, you come and fill out the form for me." Tang Xun is only Tang Liuniang by her side, she is also literate, and it is not a problem to fill out a delivery slip.
Tang Liuniang shook her head and did not speak.
"Just fill in the name and quantity of the goods, you can definitely do." With that, he pushed the slip to the table.
After seeing that Tang Xun had someone to help, the sixth merchant immediately stepped forward and said, "I don't have much money, and I'm not interested in other goods." As long as the first thirty spices, each is 50,000 catties. Please help you calculate how much it will cost? ”
Tang Xun opened the price list, and after some calculations on the paper, he replied: "One and a half million catties of spices, the total price is no more and less, a total of 1,980,000 taels of silver." ”
The merchant had a relaxed expression on his face and said with a smile: "Just right, I happened to bring two million taels of silver bills." As he spoke, he took out a wad of silver bills from his bosom, took out two and put them back in his bosom, and placed them on the table.
Tang Xun took the silver bill, and Tang Liuniang began to fill in the bill of delivery for the product booklet.
Soon after, the transaction was completed.
The two of them worked together, and their speed really increased a lot.
For most of the following day, the remaining more than ten merchants in the room also purchased goods one after another, the largest as high as more than 6 million taels of silver, and the smallest one was also 1 million taels.
By the time the dozen or so merchants finished trading, it was already afternoon, and at noon, the merchants were the same as Tang Xun, just drinking some tea and eating some snacks.
After the transaction was completed, Tang Xun got up and said, "Tang thank you for your cooperation, the first day of the transaction can be completed so smoothly." From the day after tomorrow, you can come to pick up the goods with the delivery documents, the order of delivery is today's transaction order, the first transaction to pick up the goods, three orders a day, that is, do not sleep at night, but also ensure that the delivery is completed on the same day. If someone does not want to pick up the goods now, they can explain in advance and the order of pick-up will be adjusted. ”
"The day after tomorrow, I will start to pick up the goods, so many goods, I have to prepare well, I listen to the arrangement of the adults." There is a businessman's road.
Other businessmen agreed, but there was no objection, and no one proposed not to pick up the goods for the time being.
In a burst of thanks, the merchants left the trading barracks, all smiling and congratulating each other.
On the first day of trading, they had an advantage, and after the bulk purchase, there would inevitably be not many goods that the fleet could sell in Quanzhou.
Because there is only one, this is the fleet of the imperial court, how can it be possible to sell out the goods that the fleet brought back with great difficulty before it arrives in Lin'an, those big businessmen in Lin'an who are backed by powerful people will definitely not agree, since Lord Tang is the court official in charge of the fleet's return to Yi, he will not understand this truth.
In this way, the spice retail business south of Quanzhou must have been held by their merchants.
Before the businessmen left the camp, they had already made an appointment to return to Quanzhou City to get together, and by the way, they planned the spice business of more than a dozen state capitals around Quanzhou, and they made this money!
The merchants in the camp who were still thinking about it before, and after thinking about it, they were blocked out of the trading barracks, and when they saw those merchants leaving satisfied, they knew that they had all finished trading.
At this time, it was still early, and there were still two hours before dark, and the merchant who had considered it immediately walked towards the trading barracks.
Tang Xun was sorting out the accounts in the room, and when he heard the noise outside, he got up and walked out of the barracks, and when he saw those merchants who were about to move, he smiled and said, "I'm really sorry, today's goods have been traded, please come back tomorrow." ”
As soon as these words came out, the businessmen were excited and puzzled, and some people began to shout, asking for an explanation, why wait until tomorrow to trade when it is still early.
Tang Xun said loudly: "The number of goods sold by the fleet every day is determined, and there is not a pound left in today's trading volume, and it has been completely traded, we can only stop trading, this is the rule of the fleet." Please come back tomorrow and see you off. Then he turned around and went back to his room.
As soon as the businessmen saw Tang Xun leaving, no matter how unhappy they were, they could only leave, who let them think too much in the morning and miss the trading opportunity.
After returning to the room, Tang Xun continued to sort out the accounts.
She wants to know how many goods she has sold and how much silver she has received today, and she must know how many goods are left.
Half an hour later, the accounts are all clear, her own seven ships of goods, has disappeared from the fleet, unless all the merchants in Quanzhou are found, otherwise no one will know that there are seven extra ships of goods in the fleet, even if all the merchants are found, it is not sure how many goods have been sold in Quanzhou, because the merchants only have the documents in their hands, and when they pick up the goods, the fleet of documents will be recovered, and then destroy some documents according to the number of goods of the seven ships, and the goods of the seven ships that do not belong to the fleet will not exist.
Tang Liuniang, who had been in the room, asked several times how much money she made today, but Tang Xun didn't tell her the truth, only said a lot, which made her anxious.
It is true that a lot of money is made, but seven ships account for only a third of today's trading volume.
When the sun was about to set, the shopkeeper Su of the Quanzhou branch of Hongyun Qianzhuang was invited into the port and brought into the trading barracks of Tang Xun.
"Shopkeeper Su, it's been hard all the way, please take a seat." Tang Xun got up and asked the shopkeeper to sit down on the side.
After sitting down, Shopkeeper Su said, "I heard that there are a lot of silver banknotes circulating in Hongyun Money Bank here, I don't know what the problem is?" ”
Tang Xun said with a smile: "Actually, there is no big problem, but almost all the silver banknotes received today are from Hongyun Qianzhuang, the amount is large, and it is difficult for me to distinguish the authenticity, besides, such a large amount of silver banknotes are circulating, and I still have to ask the shopkeeper Su to do a verification." ”
"Adults are worried, Hongyun Qian Zhuang is the premier money village in the Song Dynasty, the most important reputation, silver money management is also very strict, no matter how much is issued there are records, recycling is also strict, exchange a destruction of one, there is no silver banknote multiple exchanges, and there is never a situation where the silver banknotes of Hongyun Money Village can not be exchanged in Hongyun Bank. As for the authenticity of silver banknotes, adults don't have to worry, each silver banknote of Hongyun Money Village is printed with the impression designed by our big shopkeeper himself, no less than dozens of anti-counterfeiting marks, different levels of shopkeepers know the number of anti-counterfeiting marks, like the old man such an ordinary state shopkeeper only knows three kinds, each road to the state shopkeeper can know five kinds, and the center of the money shopkeeper, it is said that they can know about seven kinds, all the anti-counterfeiting marks only the big shopkeeper of the money village knows, so there is no possibility of counterfeiting of our silver tickets. ”
"I myself have used the silver banknotes of the banknote, and I know that the banknote exchange also has requirements for the exchange of the banknote, and the exchange of large amounts of silver banknotes must explain the origin, otherwise it will not be exchanged, and I don't know if it is true or false?"
"My lord misunderstood, every large amount of silver money issued by our Hongyun Money Bank has a record, so it is natural to have a well-documented exchange when exchanging. But these are just for ordinary people, if the guest's deposit reaches one million taels, as long as the identity is confirmed, it can be exchanged instantly, without asking the origin, and will not check the basis. People who have a million taels of silver are basically businessmen, and it is normal for businessmen to trade and lend money between businessmen, and the money bank does not have the energy, and it is impossible to check whether others have done any business. ”
"I see. Thank you Su for your doubts. ”
"Your Excellency is gracious."
"Shopkeeper Su, our fleet business is a bit big, and today we received a lot of large amounts of silver banknotes from Hongyun Qianzhuang, it's not that I don't believe in the credibility of Hongyun Qianzhuang, but I'm afraid that some people are not right, and I ask Shopkeeper Su to help check it." As he spoke, he pulled out hundreds of silver bills from a large iron box full of silver bills.
Shopkeeper Su glanced at the iron box and was slightly surprised, the business of the fleet is really big, if these silver banknotes are ten thousand taels of silver banknotes, let alone twenty million taels.
