Chapter 58: Negotiating a Big Acquisition
Zhao Junsheng said with a smile: "Miss Wan can learn the skills of embroidery, cutting and sewing at any time!" In fact, General Wan feels very sorry for your daughter, as long as you can get better, you are willing to do whatever you want him to do. General Wan told me two days ago that he would no longer ground you in the future, and allowed you to learn the art of garment-making with me. In addition, do you know that I am opening a garment factory, which is now almost on the right track, this garment factory still lacks a specific person in charge, and most of them are female workers, there are more than 100 people, maybe in the future to expand the scale of production, it must increase female workers, and it is more convenient to use female stewards, so I discussed with General Wan, and wanted you to be in charge, and General Wan also agreed! β
Wan Yutong was very happy after hearing this, and agreed: "Okay, I haven't managed more than 100 people, I want to try what it feels like!" β
Zhao Junsheng said with a serious face at this time: "Miss, I'm not joking when I tell you about this matter, you can't fish for three days and dry nets for two days after you become the manager of the garment factory, but I still have to rely on this garment factory to make money, and I also have to supply military uniforms such as breeches to the army, if I can't supply military uniforms on time, General Wan will not let me go!" β
Wan Yutong also said: "Of course, since I agreed, I will definitely do my best, even if I don't eat or drink, I have to take care of things!" β
Next, Zhao Junsheng taught Wan Yutong several stitches for embroidery and sewing, and asked her to practice more when she had free time after she went back, and if she didn't understand anything, she could ask him next time.
The afternoon sun was still very strong, Zhao Junsheng gave Mulan an umbrella, and the two walked on the street with few people, and Mulan said as she walked: "Finally solved this big trouble!" β
Zhao Junsheng was not optimistic about this, he said: "There is no big trouble, but there will definitely be small troubles in the future, just look at it, as long as Miss Wan is around, it will always bring us endless trouble!" β
Mulan smiled: "You deserve it!" Who told you to send her to control the garment factory? Who told you to promise to teach her how to embroider and sew? β
Zhao Junsheng said with a bitter face: "Don't use these things to divert her attention, do you think she can get rid of this matter completely?" This is also a helpless move! β
The Northern Wei army returned with a large amount of booty and millions of cattle, sheep and horses, and the great impact of these livestock beginning to disperse in large numbers within the territory of the Northern Wei Dynasty finally appeared.
In less than a month, the price of fur plummeted, falling to 30% of the original market price, and there was a downward trend.
Immediately afterwards, the price of livestock also fell significantly, and the Northern Wei Dynasty was flooded with low-priced livestock brought back by the army, and the arrival of these livestock impacted the price of livestock in various places, and the price soon fell in a faulty manner.
You must know that the amount of forage and food that so many animals need to eat every day is very huge, and it is already September at this time, which is the time when the animals grow fat, and they need to eat a lot of food, which is definitely a huge expense for those livestock dealers, if the animals are not fed, the animals will definitely lose fat, and they will not be able to sell for money.
Although the cattle dealer bought low-priced livestock from the army and the government at a low price, he also accumulated a large amount of money, and these animals were not dead animals, they were living creatures that needed to be fed, and how could they bear the huge daily expenses?
However, the market's ability to absorb it was limited, and although the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Southern Dynasty Liu and Song dynasties had gradually opened up their borders to trade, the volume of trade was not enough to sell surplus livestock to the south in a short period of time.
There are not a few cattle traders who have lost their hair overnight, and they are running around every day, trying to sell their livestock to return the funds.
On this day, Zhao Junsheng called Hua Mulan and said: "The price of fur and livestock is seriously declining, and you can buy it in large quantities!" β
Hua Mulan said with a smile: "I still need you to say that I bought it two days ago, and I have already collected 200 cattle, 800 sheep, and 300 horses!" β
Zhao Junsheng shook his head: "You are too anxious, judging from the current market, the price of livestock has not yet reached the lowest price!" By the way, with the capacity of the Huajiabao pasture, how many livestock can be stocked at most? β
Hua Mulan estimated and said: "The combination of natural grazing and human harvesting of reeds, straw, and wheat straw should be able to accommodate about 100,000 heads!" β
Zhao Junsheng thought for a while and said: "There are already many livestock in the north, and the market can't absorb much, and a large number of livestock are currently coming to the south of the Yellow River. In this way, you should send more men out and set up a livestock and fur purchase point in each county and city south of the Yellow River, and when you buy it, you will reduce the current price by 10%! The fur is for me, and I'm going to open another fur chief, and of course I'll pay for it! β
"You don't need to pay for it, it's just by the way!" Hua Mulan said casually, and asked with some doubts: "It's not bad to set up purchase points separately, but if the price is lowered by one percent, those livestock and fur merchants are afraid that they won't buy it!" β
Zhao Junsheng smiled: "You are wrong, a large amount of capital backlog makes them unbearable at all, who knows what the market will be in the future?" Although the imperial court defeated Hu Xia, Rouran in the north has always been a threat to my Great Wei, who can guarantee that the emperor will not lead an army to Mobei next year? If there is another big victory, and a large number of cattle and furs are brought back, what will happen to the cattle and furs that the cattle and fur traders have accumulated in their hands? It's even less valuable! You do as I say, and if there are no cattle and fur merchants to deliver to your door in a few days, I have my own way of making them vomit blood and sell them!" β
Hua Mulan saw the look and appearance on Zhao Junsheng's face, and couldn't help but say: "No matter how I think of you, you don't look like a scholar, but a profiteer!" β
Zhao Junsheng immediately shouted: "Hey, hey, Mulan, don't take you like this, I'm your fiancΓ©, how can you say that about your husband?" I'm not doing this to earn more money for my wife, and I'll have a better life after we get married! Besides, I don't harm the people; Second, if you don't break the law, you can make money entirely by your own knowledge and wisdom, what's wrong with that? β
"Okay, okay, it's my mistake, I shouldn't have said that about you, okay!" Hua Mulan apologized, and reached over with both hands to grab Zhao Junsheng's hand and shook it.
"By the way, although our pasture can raise 100,000 head of livestock, we don't have so much money to buy! You don't know if you haven't raised livestock, it's very common for livestock to get sick and die, a large number of animals die every year, and the dead animals can't be sold, and the castle has a large population, and the expenses are also very large, and the wealth accumulated over the years is not very much! β
Zhao Junsheng knew it in his heart and asked, "With Huajiabao's financial resources, how much can it be collected at a price that is one percent lower than the current market price?" β
Hua Mulan said: "I can only collect about 70,000 heads!" β
Zhao Junsheng waved his hand: "It's okay, I'll come out of the deficient part, even if I participate in it!" Although you are my fiancΓ©e, but you haven't married after all, let's have a brother settle the accounts, and when the time comes, just divide the accounts according to the proportion of capital contribution, what do you say? β
Hua Mulan was stunned for a moment, and then wondered: "When you were sick, you didn't even have the money to buy medicine, how long has it been, where did the money come from?" β
Zhao Junsheng leaned into Mulan's ear and whispered a few words, and Mulan was surprised: "Really? β
