Chapter 115: Acquisition of Silk
Soon after the end of the year, the beginning of spring is ushered in, spring is the time when all things on the earth are revived, even if human beings are the world's top existence, they still have to follow the laws of nature.
In Shuzhong, spring is the top priority, after the beginning of spring every year, in addition to conventional agriculture and animal husbandry in Shu, the sericulture market will also have a short trading outbreak period, the transaction of mulberry silkworm seedlings, the circulation of related industries will be completed as soon as possible, so that the weather will be warm immediately begin to cultivate insect eggs, and the silk made by the last year will also be quickly out of Shu during this time, sold to all parts of China and even outside the territory to seize the market, but also will buy a large number of dyeing materials from outside.
However, this year's situation is a little different, because of the impact of the Wanfu Commercial Bank extinction incident, coupled with the rampant chaos of bandits on Shu Road, the volume of goods has been seriously reduced. In particular, the import of dye materials, used to be mainly controlled by the Wanfu firm, now the Wanfu firm was wiped out overnight, the dye merchants outside Shu were shocked, did not dare to move, in a short period of time in Shuzhong silk raw materials are seriously unsalable, even if the weavers wail for days, the price is low and low, and no one dares to come out to buy.
Both the common people and the commercial houses are looking for explanations from the government, and there are crowds of people gathering outside the residences of various officials in the Chengzhou Prefecture every day. The government was also very helpless, so it could only send troops to maintain the smooth passage of Shu Road, and on the other hand, appease the people, and urge various commercial houses to purchase silk raw materials in the hands of weavers, but it had little effect.
"Close! Why don't you take it? Collect as much as you want! After listening to Su Fan's introduction, Yang Yi knocked on the tea bowl with a smile.
Su Luan, who was sitting diagonally opposite, sneered: "Nonsense! The spring climate in Shu is humid, and if the silk raw materials just woven out are not colored for the first time, they may become rough and mildew, what should I do then? ”
"Then you just need to color." Yang Yidao.
Hearing this, Su Fan shook his head and said: "In the past, the dyeing raw materials were basically controlled by Wanfu Commercial Bank, but now the Shu Dao bandits are troublesome, and the dye merchants outside dare not come in, and the local dyes in Shuzhong are not enough at all." ”
Yang Yi thought for a while and said: "They don't dare to come in and sell, let's just go out and buy it, leave the dye matter to me, uncle, even if you buy the original, within a month, the dye will inevitably come in." ”
Su Luan said coldly: "Hmph, your tone is not small, and you are not afraid of the wind flashing your tongue?" ”
Su Fan said calmly: "How sure are you about the virtuous nephew?" Now the bandits on Shu Road are extremely chaotic, and even the government can't do anything about them. ”
This situation is the sequelae caused by Dou Xu's actions a few years ago, most of the leaders of the bandits in the mountains were exterminated in the Five Immortal Village, and the bandits suddenly fell into chaos without a leader, although there was no large number of bandits, but those scattered bandits were even more headaches, and the caravans passing through Shu Road were all nine deaths.
Today's Shu Dao is like a bucket leaking everywhere, and the government has nothing to do.
Yang Yi stood up, paced two steps with the tea bowl and said: "Uncle, you believe in your nephew, even if you buy Shu Jin, you can calculate how many dyes you need and give me a list, and you will definitely be shipped in within a month." ”
Su Fan thought for a while and said, "How sure are you?" ”
"Ten percent!"
"Good! I'll arrange it. Su Fanxi said.
Su Luan on the side said hurriedly: "Dad! How can you make a decision based on his words? This is a matter related to the survival of my Su family! ”
Su Luan wondered why his father, who had always been indecisive and forward-looking, obeyed the words of his surname A every time, and didn't even listen to his daughter's words.
Su Fan said: "Luan'er, don't panic, since your cousin is in the chest, he naturally has his reasons, and besides, your grandfather has already instructed it, our Su family needs to listen to other people's opinions, after all, your cousin is from the capital and has a lot of knowledge." ”
Yang Yi said with a smile: "Cousin Luan'er, doing business is sometimes the same as exploring, outsiders seem to be waiting for a rope to go up the cliff is thrilling and terrifying, in fact, as long as the rope is strong and you hold it firmly enough, maybe it is safer than you walking on flat ground." ”
"What kind of bastard are you! You are gambling on my Su family's century-old family business! Su Luan said angrily.
"Luan'er must not be rude!!" Su Fan saw that Su Luan's words had been repeated, and immediately scolded.
Su Luan looked at Yang Yi with resentment, and then looked at Su Fan and said, "Dad, you are really confused, I'll go find grandpa!" After speaking, he angrily went to the backyard to find Su Zhongzhai.
Yang Yi was a little embarrassed and worried: "Uncle, is Cousin Luan'er okay?" ”
Su Fan said angrily: "The little girl is getting more and more disagreeable, it seems that she should really find a mother-in-law to discipline her!" After speaking, he ignored Su Luan, even if he went to find Su Zhongzhai and got the answer, he must have listened to Yang Yi. At that moment, he turned to Yang Yi and said, "Nephew, I will arrange the purchase of silk first, and come to me at any time if you have any questions." ”
Yang Yi nodded and said, "Don't worry, I still have something to say." ”
"Nephew, please speak."
Yang Yidao: "Nowadays, silk is unsalable, almost no commercial houses buy, the price of silk has been sixty percent lower than the year, if we buy at this price, the weavers will lose a lot." He glanced at Su Fan and said: "I mean we will buy it at last year's price, so that we can not only establish the credibility of our Su family embroidery workshop, but also appease the weavers, as long as the shipment is fast, our profits are also considerable." ”
Even if Su Fan is pedantic, he knows Yang Yi's intentions, and now that there is one less of the three major commercial banks in Shuzhong, who will fill this vacancy is also a matter of concern to various commercial banks recently. If this business is completed according to Yang Yi's method, the Sujia embroidery workshop can definitely leap forward in terms of financial resources and prestige.
Moreover, Su Fan has been studying since he was a child, although he is a little sluggish, but he is still relatively kind and upright, and he empathizes with the people's sufferings mentioned in the book, and he does not want to see the weavers work hard for a year but the harvest is bleak.
"What the virtuous nephew said is, just do what you say, I have no opinion, I believe the old man will strongly agree." Su Fan said excitedly.
Su Fan left the lobby with a little excitement, he had already ordered his subordinates not to return to the house for a few days, and to buy silk raw materials outside, which was also the first time he had been in business for so many years.
The next day, the entire Chengzhou Mansion has been spread, and the Su embroidery workshop began to look at the original silk in the hands of the weavers, and what is shocking is that they actually purchased it at last year's price, you must know that the price can be more than forty percent higher than today's market price, and the Su family is in the limelight.
Some people say that the Su family is a great good person, and naturally there are also people who say that the Su family is a big fool, what is the use of dye not for you to collect so much silk? At most, after two months of inventory, there will be a pile of defective products. Everyone was waiting to see the Su family's jokes.
