Chapter 478: Terrible News
Chinese Several salt merchants frowned, and this time no one dared to give their opinions easily. Watermark Ad Test: Watermark Ad Test
"Let's summarize the information we have received so that we can come up with a solution." Yan Cheng spoke again.
Several people also began to speak, summing up the news they had received. It's nothing if they didn't summarize it, and this time they were really scared.
Zhang Yu's caravan continuously transported salt to Xuzhou from several directions. It's as if they have an inexhaustible supply of table salt.
They were scared of this, afraid that the salt accumulated at home would be smashed into their hands. has spent a huge amount of manpower and financial resources, if it is smashed in his own hands, the family will be finished.
A few people thought it was incredible, and they knew for themselves that each family had to use tens of thousands of people to cook salt. Part of it is chopping wood, part of it is boiling water and boiling salt, where can it be sold like Zhang Yu.
"Zhang Yu must master a method that we don't know how to make salt, otherwise it is impossible to sell it like this, but if this is the case, our losses will be great, and we may lose the market in Xuzhou forever." A salt merchant said.
The crowd gasped, and if that was the case, they would have to withdraw from the salt market forever. Want to sell it somewhere else?
Don't even think about it, Zhang Yu also used the army to knock on the door of Xuzhou, so he dared to come to Xuzhou to sell salt. If they go to other places to sell salt, they will surely be killed by the local salt merchants.
"We can't be so passive, on the one hand, we must find out Zhang Yu's method of making salt, and on the other hand, put pressure on Tao Qian to drive Zhang Yu out of Xuzhou, we usually support Tao Qian, Xuzhou War, we donated a lot of money to support him." Liu Shan said.
Several people agreed, and they all realized that Zhang Yu's salt may really not be sold out, so it is a fire sale, and they have never seen it out of stock, although it was out of stock for a short period of two days, but soon most of it reopened, and even opened more.
Zhang Yu spent more than a month or so, and he made a lot of money of about 200 million, and those families alone bought about 100 million of salt.
But in the long run, it must be the ordinary people who are the main force. Zhang Yu rolled up so much money, and immediately allocated tens of millions of dollars overseas, so that they would immediately immigrate tens of thousands of dollars to mine copper and silver mines, and let Zhao Hai and others continue to look for other continents, and then send people to find resources.
However, the search for resources can only be done by luck, and many places are covered by primeval forests, and it is difficult to find them if they are slowly developed without setting up settlements.
"Lord, lord, you can't spend money like this, it's understandable to invest tens of millions of dollars to develop mineral resources overseas, but if you set up dozens of county schools, you have to smash tens of millions, and now we can't afford it." Zhang Zhao shouted when he received the task.
This just had money, which could make him breathe a sigh of relief, but Zhang Yuhua was really extravagant, and he was about to spend it all at once.
Zhang Yu didn't compromise, he said: "Don't worry, we can still scrape some money back in Xuzhou, and then we won't move, all for you, the investment in education is huge, and the return is slow, but the return in the future is difficult to estimate, the sooner you invest, the better." Zhang Yu said so, and Zhang Zhao could only admit it, but he left him tens of millions, and the money was all from the south, and the north didn't give any points, so he could still get through it.
Zhang Yu is rich, and Xuzhou is miserable. It is only these salt merchants who are affected for the time being, but these salt merchants are really not going to be able to survive.
Through inquiring regardless of the cost, they finally knew that Zhang Yu did have new technology, and directly knew that he was drying salt on the beach.
But they also know tightly that it is used to dry and how to dry it, but they still don't have the technology in this area, so they can't find out at all.
They were completely panicked. You don't need to inquire too much to know that the cost is very low, and Zhang Yu doesn't need to increase the price at all.
They have to use tens of thousands of people to cook so much salt, and Zhang Yu directly uses the sun, no one to chop wood, no one to burn the fire all day.
That's a lot of savings, and according to their estimates, the production is huge.
"No, we're going to die." The salt merchant shouted, and they gathered together again.
This time when they got together, their faces were even worse.
"Zhang Yu must be driven out, otherwise all our salt will be smashed in our hands, and we won't have to do it in the future." Yan Cheng said.
Several other salt merchants agreed. But they didn't dare to make trouble, otherwise they wouldn't have to sit here.
Zhang Yu is famous, and if he takes the life of the entire family and himself, everyone will be afraid. They also thought of other methods, but a family could not be seamless at all, and they still had to take a lot of risks, and the most important thing was that a family could only create some trouble for Zhang Yu and them, and there was no way to drive them out of Xuzhou.
Therefore, if they want to unite, they can only go to Tao Qian.
"Okay, let's go to Tao Qian together and ask him to drive all of Zhang Yu's caravans out of Xuzhou." Thinking about it, they can only rely on Tao Qian.
The strength of several major salt merchants is not small, and if they are related to several families, they are even more of a huge force.
Several major salt merchants immediately arranged for someone to meet Tao Qian. Tao Qian's head grew up when he saw the prayer post. You don't have to think about it to know what you're here for, but these six salt merchants are indeed his financiers, and he doesn't dare not see them.
He already knew that Zhang Yu's salt had entered Xuzhou in a big way, but this had no impact on Xuzhou.
At least Zhang Yu sold it at a very low price, which was good for him to stabilize Xuzhou.
"Well, discuss with Zhang Yu at the right time and ask him to increase the price." Tao Qian had already thought about how to deal with these six major salt merchants.
Recently, Tao Qian has been doing quite well, he relies on Chen Gui and Liu Bei, one article and one martial arts, so that Xuzhou has stabilized, and the army is also decent under Liu Bei's training.
However, Tao Qian did not hand over all the military power to Tao Qian, and the old generals of Xuzhou were Cao Bao, Mi Fang and Zang Ba, all of whom still had some military power.
Tao Qian immediately replied and arranged to meet them at the Prefecture Governor's Mansion the next day. The next day, several salt merchants arrived at the state pastoral mansion very early according to the appointed time, which made Tao Qian a little helpless, and the merchants were like this.
However, these six salt merchants are businessmen, yes, but they are also families, and he did not slack off, so they waited for a while before Tao Qian came.
"Meet Tao Gong." Although the energy of several people is great, Tao Qian has a very high prestige in Xuzhou, and several people hurriedly saluted.
"These people have such bad faces, just like me, an old man." Tao Qian was amazed, several major salt merchants would become like this, you must know that several people have huge wealth and are all rich people, how can their faces be similar to that of a seriously ill person.
A few people had just sat down, and before the tea came up, Liu Shan said: "Tao Gong, all my Xuzhou salt merchants are going to be finished, if Tao Gong doesn't care, it won't be long before Zhang Yu will control the entire Xuzhou." ”
