Chapter 374: 20 times
Han Qi has expressed it to this extent, what else is there not to believe, although this decision was not told to them by Han Qi personally, but they still believed it, who is Han Qi, the privy deputy envoy, they can see it, they also know more or less that this time the northwest seized a huge amount, perhaps, this is a resource inclined to the commercial side.
These chambers of commerce, themselves, are just thinking about getting a hundred and ten horses, after all, there are only 10,000 horses in total, according to the previous proportion, six or seven percent were given to the military, one or two percent were given to nobles and officials, and the rest was given to the chambers of commerce, which may be about one percent, and one achievement is 1,000 horses, and what they are fighting for is this.
But when this number increases tenfold, and at the same time, Han Qi has made a guarantee that the military will not interfere, this is a huge opportunity, after this village, there will be no such store.
The northwest is a border pass, because of the threat of Western Xia, so the military has always occupied a relatively large share, and this part of the horses is going to go to the battlefield, but this time, with the approval of Han Qi, the supreme commander of the four roads, even if there are only 10,000 horses, as long as the military does not interfere, the number they can obtain may be five or six times more than before.
Scarcity is expensive, cattle and horses are traded, that's it, before, it was like this, a year, the entire northwest traded, maybe only one or two hundred thousand.
It sounds like a lot, but in a whole year, plus the entire Northwest, dozens of state capitals, that's really not much.
This amount, even the military is not enough, always after the military picks the leftover, among the remaining crooked melons and cracked dates, there are nobles and officials to choose, there are not many left, they are still regarded as treasures, now as long as the military does not participate, how much can the nobles buy, 1000 horses are one percent, 10,000 horses, may even be a point, to 100,000 horses, may not be a point.
At this moment, their motivation has become even greater, and every chamber of commerce, they go south and north, and the most important thing is friends and customers, and these customers are the objects they can promote and lobby.
When this matter was being carried out, these chambers of commerce were also afraid that the matter would not be big, and they also wanted to take Han Qi into the army to see if Han Qi could really increase the amount of the entire transaction by 10 times.
They began to use their own channels to frantically contact all customers, these big merchants, each of them is more than one million, and the highest even controls the business of 5 million, which is already the top group of people in the Northern Song Dynasty, and there are really not many people who are stronger than them in the entire Northern Song Dynasty.
can be compared with them, and at the same time, which one is simple, each of them is a big businessman who sits on one side.
There are some things that the official, such as Han Qi issuing an executive order, or even Renzong issuing a holy decree, may not be able to say that it will be moved, but these chambers of commerce, they will use friendship, interests, and even other aspects to persuade them, in this case, of course, the results are immediate.
The hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, which is an old saying, for businessmen, there are only eternal interests.
Are horses a profit? Of course, for some people who do sales, of course, when the number of horses is unlimited, as long as there is money, it is not too much, relative to a fixed field, as long as these horses are raised, you can continue to create profits.
In fact, when Han Qi was promoting to the entire Northwest, these big businessmen still heard about it and knew about it, but in the absence of definite news and the distance was too far, they did not participate.
But now, people of the same grade told me that this was an opportunity, and tens of thousands of Xixia horses were open to sell.
Whether horses are scarce resources, or 10,000 horses at one time, this is definitely something that everyone is unwilling to let go, especially in the northwest, where there is nothing to do with the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and the carriage is a necessary tool for travel.
Some super businessmen, of course, know about the changes in Western Xia, and also know that Han Qi has gained a huge harvest, but the specific number is top secret in the Privy Council, and even if they know how much they have gained in the middle, they don't know how much the troops will set aside, and how many of these numbers will be in the end, no one knows.
This is also the source of the previous hesitation, they do not know the total number, let alone how much they can sell freely, they can only evaluate according to their own judgment.
The final number may be one or two thousand, and there is no need to fight for this, but the business partners have made it clear that the minimum is 10,000 horses, and the military is not yet involved, and if it is even possible, it will be increased to 100,000 horses, which is attractive enough.
Some people have come to inquire through various channels, and some people have already begun to mobilize funds.
They are not in the northwest, of course, they will not be like the northwest, in a wide range, mobilize a large amount of funds, but take out tens of thousands of yuan, participate, it is still possible, they have joined, and suddenly made the whole Weizhou Cattle and Horse Conference famous.
Han Qi has been monitoring the development of the whole thing, and after getting the exact news, at least 54 large chambers of commerce, hundreds of smaller ones, and many families participating in this grand event, he decisively decided to increase the scale of the Weizhou transaction.
The scale of the original 60,000 was decisively increased to 1.5 million, of which the number of horses was increased to 200,000, cattle reached 500,000, and the rest were all sheep.
When the news spread to the top ten chambers of commerce, the top ten chambers of commerce were simply happy to faint, before, I didn't know to ask grandpa to tell grandma, this is a little bit of share, on average, each chamber of commerce, the number of horses increased every year, is not more than 100, plus eliminated, or dead, the annual increase is very little.
However, compared with the increasing transaction volume, it is really much worse, especially now, with the goods of the Daimyo Mansion and the Dinghai Navy, which are marketed throughout the country, all the water systems connected to the canal can use their products, and those who do this business make a lot of money.
But they can only watch, some high-end ones, and they can also bring them in small batches, and those who are really based on the public don't even think about it.
The most famous thing in the Daimyo Mansion is ironware, this kind of heavy daily necessities, the increase in freight, will be terrible to a considerable extent, according to the average freight of five or six times a stone, this has little to do with its own value.
According to the price of one or two catties of a knife, even if the kitchen knife of the Daimyo Mansion is very cheap, about dozens of yuan, but the shipping cost may be added by 60-70 yuan, and the reduction in this cost is not much of an advantage compared to the production of local blacksmiths.
Unless, can greatly reduce the freight, there is a profit, there are many similar products, looking at the Dingjun, constantly developing new products, but they can't get it, this is very big in the heart, I want to replace all the caravans, all the horse team.
Now that the opportunity is in front of you, how can you not grasp it, you are stupid not to grasp it.
