Chapter 249: The Wonderful Use of Futures

In the evening, the backbone personnel who came to Jinling City this time gathered in Cao Deshun's study to hold a meeting together to discuss the follow-up matters.

Present at the meeting were Cao Deshun, Na Zhe, Cui Daoshu, Zhai Xiaoshan, Cui Hong, Pang Xu, and Qi Jiuniang.

Cui Hongxian introduced the process of the establishment of the United Commercial Bank in Jinling City, as well as the sales situation in the past two months.

Cui Hong said with a smile: "In the past two months, all our products have been sold like crazy, and high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen in Jinling City have rushed to buy all kinds of goods, and there is a rose-scented perfume that has been sold for a thousand yuan a bottle. ”

Everyone was very excited, and Qi Jiuniang shouted: "Buddha, this is too exaggerated!" I knew how expensive perfume could be, so I didn't use perfume, and then I bought all the perfumes in the Qushan Island supermarket, and then took them to Jinling to sell, so I would be rich! ”

Everyone laughed, and Cui Daoshu shook his head helplessly: "Jiu Niang, can you have a little interest, is our family short of money?" ”

Qi Jiuniang stuck out her tongue: "Sao Rui, Sao Rui, husband, the slave family is rude, don't be angry, okay?" ”

Na Zhe asked Qi Jiuniang: "Jiuniang, when did you learn English?" ”

"Third brother, it was Du Dalei who said it, and I learned it. I scolded him. ”

Cao Deshun didn't understand a little and asked everyone what the allusion was.

Cui Daoshu told the story again, which made everyone laugh.

After a while, Cui Hong continued: "Ladies and gentlemen, since the establishment of United Commercial Bank, our sales in the Jinling area have reached more than 600,000 yuan. The profit is about more than 400,000 yuan, and we share it with Mr. Cao, Mr. Liang and Mr. Wang, and it is estimated that we can share more than 200,000 yuan. ”

Everyone was very happy, and Na Zhe slapped the table: "Great! Now there is a lot of financial pressure on Qishan Island, and this money has solved a big problem. Steward Cui, you have made a great contribution, and when it comes to the end of the year, we will give you a large bonus. ”

Cui Hong said humbly: "Everyone, I really didn't do anything, I just ran errands." Mr. Cao's family and Liang's family have made great efforts. They asked for people to give money, asked for money for money, and leveled all the forces in Jinling City. They're the ones who really deserve it. In addition, our products are good things that other merchants do not have, and no matter who sells them, they will make amazing profits. So I don't really have much credit. ”

Na Zhe smiled and said, "Steward Cui, you are a little too modest. We at Seven Seas will not let anyone who is sincere suffer. It's the money you get, and we won't give you less. When it's time for the year-end commendation, you'll count the money until your hands cramp. ”

Everyone congratulated Cui Hong and said that he must have a treat, and Cui Hong agreed with a smile.

Cao Deshun thought about it and said: "Everyone, I have a suggestion that I want to tell you, I don't know if you want to hear it?" ”

Na Zhe said: "Brother Cao, what are you polite to us, if you have something to say, just say it." ”

Cao Deshun stroked his beard, and then said: "Everyone, the United Commercial Bank has accumulated too much money now, I want to ask for your opinion, don't transport this money back to Qishan Island, just purchase materials in the Jinling area, and then transport the materials back to Qishan Island, these materials are what you urgently need." ”

Cui Daoshu nodded: "What you said is very reasonable, the money is shipped back, and it can't be eaten as food, and it can't be worn as clothes." Let's exchange it for all kinds of supplies that we urgently need. ”

Everyone agreed, and Cui Daoshu said to Cui Hong: "Steward Cui, you have to work hard, try your best to assist the shopkeepers of the Cao family, and purchase a large number of bulk materials such as grain, cloth, medicinal materials, iron ore, coal, and timber. Then it will be transported back to Qishan Island as soon as possible. ”

Na Zhe suggested: "Lao Cui, I have an idea, can you listen to it?" We can barter with some big merchants. Whoever of them can provide us with a large amount of supplies, we will exchange them with goods that are in demand. In this way, we save time, manpower, and material resources, and they can also get benefits. What do you think? ”

Cao Deshun exclaimed: "This is a good way, we will save a lot of things." That brother, you are indeed a genius, I am convinced. You have to teach the dog well when you go back, he is too far from your brother. ”

"Brother, you have a good reputation, let's learn from each other."

Cui Daoshu said: "Brother Cao, we can still hold an auction!" We divided the goods into several portions, and then gathered the big merchants in the Jinling area to sell them at auction. And then let them pay in supplies, what do you think? ”

Cao Deshun was overjoyed: "Great, why didn't I think of this!" The auction is indeed a good way, so I will find someone to prepare and hold the auction as soon as possible. ”

After finishing speaking, Cao Deshun was about to leave. Na Zhe hurriedly stopped him: "Brother Cao, you are too anxious, I still have something to say, it is not too late for you to wait for me to finish before leaving." ”

Cao Deshun had no choice but to sit down patiently, looking impatient.

Na Zhe continued: "Old Seven, we can still sell futures. What do you think? ”

Cui Daoshu slapped his face: "Third brother, you should really come out to do business." Your brain is too smart, what a waste to let you go to the academy to teach! ”

Except for the two brothers, no one else understood what they were talking about.

Qi Jiuniang pulled Cui Daoshu's sleeve and said, "Husband, I don't understand a word of what you say." ”

Na Zhe explained: "The so-called 'futures' are to sell things that are not yet available. For example, we can sell sea salt in October this year, so that everyone can pay for the share of sea salt in October. This way we can get a large sum of money in advance. ”

Qi Jiuniang asked puzzledly: "The sea salt in October is not there yet, how can it be sold?" ”

Cui Daoshu added: "Jiuniang, what we sell is something that we don't have yet, so it's called 'futures'." It's just that the date hasn't reached yet, so I sell things in advance. ”

"Can someone buy it? Didn't see anything. ”

Na Zhe continued: "Jiu Niang, the goods we sell are all sought-after goods, so we don't have to worry about not being able to sell them at all. Now the merchants of Jinling want to get our goods, let them take the money in advance to buy what has not yet been produced, and they will definitely be happy. If they don't buy it first, others will buy it, and then they won't even have time to regret it. ”

Cao Deshun understood the beauty of futures, he was very shocked in his heart, Na Zhe and Cui Daoshu easily came up with such a good way, that is, to solve the situation of insufficient funds and materials, and to obtain extremely high benefits, their brothers are really amazing! They are all heroes!

Cao Deshun was convinced, he felt a little sad, he had been in business for many years, and he had never thought of these things. And the two brothers came up with a series of good ways at their fingertips. If you don't accept it, you can't do it, people are just amazing.

Everyone participated in the discussion of the details. Even Zhai Xiaoshan and Pang Xu made a few good suggestions.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside.

"The head of the family, Xu Shilang sent someone to deliver the letter, and the person is waiting in the lobby."

Pang Xu immediately got up and opened the door of the study, and a steward of the Cao family walked in.

He walked up to Cao Deshun and respectfully presented a letter.

Cao Deshun took the letter, opened it and looked at it at a glance, and then said with a smile: "Everyone, Li Yu decided to recruit that gentleman the day after tomorrow, and I will also accompany him into the palace." ”

Na Zhe said: "Old man Xu is still very reliable, and he is very efficient." ”

Cao Deshun said to the steward: "You tell the person sent by Xu Shilang, and say that I know, and we will wait for him in front of the palace on time the day after tomorrow." ”

The steward went out after giving the salute, and the discussion continued.

Qi Jiuniang felt a little bored on the side, these men were talking about business, and she was not interested at all.

Cui Daoshu said: "Brother Cao, I brought some people this time, and they are all trained chefs. If there is a suitable location, we can open a restaurant. ”

Cao Deshun was very interested, and he said with a smile: "The place is not a problem, as long as you look at the place, we will buy it." I'm looking forward to your opening of a restaurant, and I'll be eating your food every day, it's delicious. ”

Cui Daoshu nodded and continued: "We are going to open a restaurant for the public first, and the dishes must be economical. The restaurant should be large enough to accommodate as many people as possible. We are ready to launch a series of dishes for the general public, such as xiao long bao, dongpo pork, white cut chicken, hot pot and so on. Let the people of Jinling City taste our original dishes, and the restaurant will definitely be an instant hit. ”

Cao Deshun thought about it and said: "I will send someone out tomorrow to find a house, to find a larger place, hurry up and clean up, so that the hotel can open as soon as possible." ”

Qi Jiuniang pulled Cui Daoshu's sleeve and said, "Childe, let's go too, okay?" Everyone has promised the sisters to bring them gifts. ”

Cui Daoshu nodded: "Let's all go shopping, I'll send you each a hundred yuan, buy something at will, and take it back to Qishan Island." ”

Zhai Xiaoshan and Pang Xu glanced at each other, both very happy.

Na Zhe smiled and said: "It's good to have a local tyrant brother, Lao Qi, I love you to death, you are really a roundworm in my stomach, I know why I am worried about my brother, haha." ”

Cui Daoshu ignored this second goods, and continued: "Brother Cao, you send someone to find a good place, close to a place where the rich and high-ranking officials live densely, preferably near Wuyi Lane. We want to open a high-end entertainment venue, a large club integrating catering, accommodation, bathing, casino, and song and dance performances. ”

Cao Deshun said: "The scale of such a place is a bit too large, we have to plan it carefully." In this way, I will accompany you to go shopping tomorrow, and everyone will walk around Wuyi Lane, let's take a look first. ”
