After almost all the members of the entire Heze Club arrived, Dai Yan, the lord of Taoqiu, and the president of the club, finally appeared. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info And this time, as soon as the party began, he said to the members of the club: "This time another big businessman will join us!" ”

Subsequently, under his recommendation, a slightly chubby, ordinary-looking businessman walked out.

This ordinary businessman, most of the merchants in the field didn't know him, but as soon as Bai Long saw this person, he immediately shouted: "Yiwei, it's you!" ”

It wasn't strange that Bai Long was so surprised, because this person's ancestor was so famous, even if he was a descendant of the "Shang Sheng" Bai Gui, he couldn't be proud in front of him!

Because the ancestor of this person is the descendant of the famous "God of Management" Yidun!

Yidun was originally a poor man in the Lu country, when his livelihood was difficult, he went to find the assistant Gou Jian at that time, destroyed the Wu country and abandoned the official business, Tao Zhu Gong Fan Li, who was rich in Taoqiu, and asked Fan Li for the secret of getting rich.

Fan Li, just like the entrepreneurial mentor of later generations, showed him a clear path and told him: "Young people, if you want to get rich, go to animal husbandry, this industry is very promising!" ”

This young entrepreneur got a revelation and did it! He then came to the Xihe River in the Wei Kingdom, where he stockpiled cattle and sheep, and soon became a prominent local wealth. Subsequently, the ambitious entrepreneur took note of the salt pond located east of the Wei River. At that time, because the salt industry required a lot of investment, the government did not directly develop and operate, but gave it to these wealthy people to operate!

In Yidun's view, the profits of the salt industry should be greater than that of animal husbandry. So he poured all his family property and invested a lot in Hedong Salt Pond, which greatly expanded the scale and sales of salt production in the pond. In order to improve the transportation of salt, this wealthy businessman even organized his own people to dig the first canal about 100 miles long in the mountainous Shanxi region, connecting the salt pond in the east of the river with the Yellow River!

You must know that the later Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, as an emperor of a unified empire, was more than 1,000 years ahead of Yidun, but he only dug a canal for more than 1,000 miles in the eastern plains of China, and in this way, the entire Great Sui Empire collapsed directly!

Later, he directly monopolized the salt supply of Sanjin and completely defeated Qi Yan! In addition to animal husbandry and salt farming, Yidun later became involved in the business of luxury goods such as gold, silver and jewelry, and was equally successful! Later, when people talked about this Yidun, it was generally believed that his wealth definitely exceeded that of his teacher Tao Zhu Gong Fan Li!

If Shang Zu Bai Gui became rich by virtue of his cooperation with the government, his precise vision and the strategy of Sun (son) Wu (Qi), this Yidun became rich completely by virtue of his super management and management ability, and his success gave countless inspirations to later generations.

In today's world, since the Yi family and the Bai family were both born in the Wei State, they also launched fierce competition. Today's Yi Wei is also a genius of the Yi family, he carried forward his ancestor Yi Dun is good at running the style, opened taverns, hostels, etc. everywhere in the world, in this era to establish a hotel empire all over the world, with the accurate information provided by this empire in various countries, whenever the war is about to happen, the pre-shipment of food, weapons to the place, until the war starts, you can make a huge fortune from it!

This benevolent brother's greatest achievement now is to transfer supplies to the Qin State in the Battle of Qin Wei Hexi, and he has received an amazing reward for this! Even in a country like Qin that deals with merchants with strict criminal laws, this benevolent brother can go in and intervene, which shows how powerful he is!

Now although the Bai family is extremely rich in Taoqiu and even in the world, they are at a disadvantage in the competition with the Yi family, how can this not make Bai Long feel afraid of Yi Wei's appearance in this Heze club?

After getting Bai Long's explanation to Yiwei, all the businessmen present also understood how powerful this person was! Some people even wanted to give advice to Dai Yan immediately, asking him not to let Yiwei, a giant crocodile, enter Taoqiu and enter this Heze Club!

Seeing everyone's expressions, Dai Yan instantly understood what these people were thinking, and he directly opened his mouth to stop what everyone wanted to say: "Everyone present, how did you gain from that feast a few days ago?" ”

The collapse of grain prices seven days ago was actually a grand looting of the speculative merchants in Taoqiu by the merchants of the Heze Club under the leadership of Dai Yan!

The merchants present were all people who had all kinds of shops and businesses in the nations, so they knew the information inside the countries of the world as if they were in control! In particular, no one knows more about the logistical reserves and even financial information between the countries of the world!

The border war between Chu and Wei actually attracted the attention of these people as soon as the war began. After the Chu State captured the eight cities of the Wei State, the Chu State offensive stopped, in fact, it was not much complicated, but the food of the Chu State was insufficient, which was not enough to continue to support the war.

And the situation of Wei is similar, from the information of Bailong, it can be known that they are crazy to buy food from Taoqiu, and everyone knows that Wei is actually about to be unable to hold on.

At such a time, Wei found strong reinforcements for Qi, hoping that Qi would support it and make Chu retreat. However, Wei didn't know that Qi was also a country with a huge clan power, and the king of Qi was on the throne as soon as he ascended the throne, and he was sorting out various domestic relations, such as fighting the forces of Jingguo Juntianying, etc., where did he have the heart to get involved in the war between Chu and Wei?

And at such a time, the state of Chu saw that the state of Wei wanted to introduce the help of the state of Qi, and immediately began to intimidate the state of Qi, claiming that the state of Chu would continue the cause of the battle of Xuzhou, the king of Chu Wei, and hit the state of Qi fiercely!

This kind of true and false information has made everyone in the world fall into confusion, but the Heze Club actually sees it very clearly, Chu, Wei, and Qi once again broke out into a Xuzhou war like the previous King Chu Wei era, which is absolutely impossible!

However, when Dai Yan learned about this situation, he immediately began to lead these wealthy businessmen and formulated a perfect business plan to loot the wealth of speculative businessmen and make a lot of money!

Because most of the people in the Heze Club have industries among the nations, and there are even more people engaged in grain trade. Together, these people do not have a complete monopoly on the supply and price of grain, but they can still control the rise and fall of grain prices when they come together!

In addition, Dai Yan, the ruler of Taoqiu, has a strong force, and he takes the initiative to cooperate with everyone to manipulate the market, and it is too easy to control the grain price on the exchange!

He first published false information in the newspapers and even let these businessmen continue to publish false information, creating an extremely tense atmosphere between Chu, Wei, and Qi, which made the grain prices in the entire Taoqiu continue to soar!

With the strong strength of the people in the Heze Club, in such a rapid rise in food prices, they went long through the futures exchange and almost crushed all the shorts, which made everyone swept up the first huge amount of money!

Subsequently, they relied on the advocacy of the war of Chu, Wei and Qi to render the atmosphere of the war to the whole city, making everyone think that the price of food would continue to soar in the future, and at this time, the people of the Heze Club ambushed in the market in advance, and in the case of Chen Zhen's words to stabilize the Three Kingdoms War, once again completed a huge amount of selling, and crushed all the bulls, and once again swept a huge amount of money!

Between this one in and one out, almost millions of gold of wealth in the entire Taoqiu were looted by the people of the Heze Club! And in the process of such a wealth ransack, Dai Yan, as the owner of Taoqiu, of course, got the greatest benefits!

Although he didn't buy too many futures, he got the lion's share of the benefits in the lending of Taoqiu Money! And in this wealth looting, at least half of the wealth went into Dai Yan's pocket!

In other words, after this collapse in food prices, he directly earned a fortune of millions of gold! After this incident, even if the money in his hands is not as good as the family business that Bailong and Yiwei have accumulated over several generations, I am afraid it is not much worse.

And that's the power of finance!

As for whether the looting of the wealth of Taoqiu's speculative merchants will cause Taoqiu to decline, Dai Yan is not worried about it at all! Like those speculative merchants, there are certainly businessmen who do business, but more often there are aristocratic feudal lords like Shanyang Jun of Wei State, landlords who have too much money in various countries to annex land, etc. For these people, Tao Qiujun, who claims to be the spokesman of capitalism, has long regarded them as a force influencing social progress!

A Wei nobleman like Shanyangjun lost so much money in Taoqiu this time, and if he wanted to continue this aristocratic life when he went back, he would inevitably oppress the people under his rule even more! But what does all this have to do with Dai Yan? Shanyang Jun's people are not from the Song Kingdom, and the second is not his people, why should he care about the lives and deaths of those people?

In this way, Dai Yan may not be "benevolent" enough as a traverser, but if he wants to build a real empire, can he do it by benevolence? Which of the later capitalist empires, such as Spain, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom, did not suck blood from all over the world and become empires with sufficient capital?

And sucking the blood of these rotten nobles, Dai Yan didn't have any guilt in his heart, but was faintly proud! Wealth is in the hands of these lounge rice bags, but it is wasted, and in his hands, it can be turned into capital and a force to promote social progress!

And in such a war of looting wealth, almost all the big businessmen of Taoqiu were united to Dai Yan's side, and everyone formed a strong alliance of interests! How could these businessmen be dissatisfied with Dai Yan?

Then Dai Yan continued to ask: "Then I want to ask everyone present, are you really satisfied with this wealth after earning it?" ”

How can a businessman think that he makes too much money? One by one, they jumped up and said: "Of course I am not satisfied, if there is a greater opportunity to make money, I am willing to work with the lord!" ”

It is not for nothing that the people present would say this. Think about the major events that Dai Yan has done in the past year since he was in charge of Taoqiu: futures exchanges, money banks, newspapers, which ones are not big businesses that make money?

"Want to make money? That's right! The most profitable thing about a business is monopoly: only allow yourself to do it, and no one else is allowed to do it! Dare to ask all of you present, are you really sure to monopolize the entire grain trade in the world? Dai Yan asked.

As soon as everyone present heard what Dai Yan said, they immediately understood Dai Yan's purpose!

Although everyone present was a big businessman who existed among the countries of the world, and their trade routes were paved to all countries in the world, the Qin State was where they were beyond their strength! This is a huge loophole and an important factor affecting food prices! And this Yidun is a big businessman who has successfully broken into the Qin State, if the Qin State is also done, then the grain price of the whole world can really be controlled by them, this is the real business with huge profits!

Although most of the later scholars of free trade theory criticized monopoly and believed that monopoly hindered competition and had various negative effects on the free market economy, they never considered that in the early stage of capitalism, without the super-profits brought by monopoly, could the power of capitalism grow so rapidly.

For example, the Netherlands, the first capitalist country in the history of the world, directly appointed the United East India Company to monopolize the trade of the entire East. Without the super-profits of this monopoly, the Netherlands would not have had the strength to complete the bourgeois revolution!

Britain, another powerful capitalist country, although it also advocates free trade, but the whole trading system it has built is actually a monopoly system! It singled out the economies of the colonies in various places, for example, Barbados was only allowed to grow sugar cane and sugar, while the North American colonies were only allowed to grow cotton. It could then use its domestic industrial products to engage in "free trade" with these colonies, which had to give away the high profits from sugar and cotton on their land in order to obtain various industrial goods in their own country! And Britain relied on this monopoly to make a huge scissors gap between industrial products and raw materials, and the excess profits generated by this scissors difference supported the development of industry, and finally even evolved the industrial revolution!

Today's Dai Yan wants to develop real capitalism, it is necessary to give these merchant classes super profits, so that they can rapidly increase their strength! Only monopolies can do this!

And Dai Yan spent so much effort to gather everyone, and there was a bigger plan, he wanted to monopolize a bigger business!
