Chapter 977: Food is the Best Weapon (Plus for the White One Multi-Alliance Leader)
For Yelu Huage, five years later, revisiting Xijing felt like a different world.
At that time, Xijing was also very prosperous, with magnificent buildings and developed commerce, which was dazzling...... But under that prosperity, you can still see the shadow of the past, but this time, it is very different!
For example, last time, the little two in the inn restaurant were humble and flattering, extremely flattering, looking forward to the guests being rewarded a little more money, this time, although the little two were still very polite, but from the bones revealed a sense of arrogance, their waists were almost straight, including those who delivered food on the street, they all puffed up their chests, and were no longer humble and cowardly.
In addition, Yelu Huage also noticed that the chaotic market had been completely cleaned up, and all the gangs, guilds, and messes that had been used were swept away, and the work of order in the streets was handed over to special patrol officers. Last time, they also secretly brought a lot of people in and had an assassination.
And this time, don't even think about it, there is no chance at all!
Yelu Huage's most intuitive feeling is that Da Song is clean, not just on the street, but from the inside out, completely clean, as if it has been reborn and changed.
He really couldn't figure it out, so he had to ask for advice.
The last time I participated in the Wanshou Celebration, the Khitan sent a lot of wrestling equestrian riders, and now they are still in the Great Song Dynasty, and the best of them is the black tiger Afu!
Yelu Huage could only ask him about the situation.
I haven't seen him for a few years, and Black Tiger is not the wrestler he was as simple as a blank slate.
This guy has become a coach who specializes in finding and training good wrestlers to compete, in other words, he has become a coach and agent.
After not competing, the weight of the black tiger became more and more uncontrollable, from the original strong muscular man, completely turned into a big bear with a fat head and big ears, weighing at least more than 300 hundred catties, and the huge waist circumference was thicker than the grinding plate, there is no doubt that in a few years, the width of this guy will exceed the height, and it will completely become a mountain of meat.
What's even more amazing is that the black tiger not only has an open head, but also marries several daughters-in-law, who are like bears, but several daughters-in-law are small and delicate widows, very attractive, and when they get together, they are simply beauties and beasts!
It's hard for him, the aesthetics are not bad, but it's too bad for him!
Black Tiger didn't care what others thought of him, shook his fat body, stepped on the second floor, and the floor swayed with him. Seeing Yelu Huage at a glance, the black tiger didn't care much, sat down, grabbed the teapot, and drank water as if there was no one around.
The people next to you really can't bear it, you're just a minion, what kind of big garlic is there!
"Black Tiger! You have to know who you are! ”
Heihu rolled his eyes, "What's the big deal about the identity, the princes and nobles of the kingdom, I've seen a lot, and we have also performed for the saints of the Great Song Dynasty, the saints are all harmonious, what are you!" ”
"Okay, you're so arrogant!" A guy was about to make a move, but Yelu Huage hurriedly stopped him.
"Don't be rude!"
He smiled faintly, "The Black Tiger Warriors can break out of the Great Song Dynasty, and I am very happy in my heart, in the past few years, the Black Tiger Warriors have brought a lot of people, and no one in the Khitan knows your name, amazing, good man!" ”
After a few sycophants, the black tiger's face showed a hint of pride.
"Okay, you don't need to say nice things, you guys are looking for me, there must be something, right?"
"That's, that's!"
Yelu Huage pondered, "Black Tiger Warrior, have you ever heard of futures?" ”
"Of course I've heard of it, not only I've heard of it, but I still have hundreds of thousands of pieces smashed in my hands now!"
When Yelu Huage heard this, his old face twitched twice, grandma's, one mouth is hundreds of thousands, and the big dog and bear in front of him are richer than him!
"Black Tiger Warrior, how does this futures market work, and if you want to participate in trading, do you have anything to pay attention to?"
"Attention? Just have a good eye! ”
The black tiger grinned and said: "Let me tell you, futures are a good thing, for example, I fancy that the price of copper will rise, so I will place an order in advance and agree to deliver a batch of copper to me one day in the future...... Because I bought it at the current price, if the price rises in the future, the difference is mine! ”
After listening to this, Yelu Huage pondered for a long time before gradually digesting it, and an entourage next to him was quite disdainful, "What is this, the price of copper goes up and down, and you can make a few bucks!" ”
The black tiger looked like an idiot, and he sneered: "Sure enough, it's a person from a small place, and I don't know it...... You can borrow money from the bank, ten times, a hundred times the leverage, as long as it rises by one percent, deducting interest, you can make ten times...... When it comes to getting rich, it's not so fast! ”
As soon as these words came out, the Khitan side was dumbfounded, and sure enough, they were too old hats.
Just saying that it was not enjoyable, Black Tiger Ah Fu took these people and went to the futures market to take a look, and as soon as they entered, several people were dumbfounded.
Inside is crowded, densely packed, not only people from the Great Song Dynasty, but also other countries, the number is terrifying, these people either place orders, or exchange news, not also happy.
……
After a day of real shopping, Yelu Huage was ravaged to the end!
Based on the futures market of Da Song, the daily trading volume has exceeded 1 million, and after deducting rest days, the comprehensive trading volume has exceeded 100 million! can withstand the 20-year income of the Khitan, especially after the loss of Youzhou, the Khitan is bitter from top to bottom.
He wanted to buy 1 million stone grain this time, and only brought 500,000 yuan, which he thought was a lot of money, but in the futures market alone, within an hour, he saw 3 large orders of more than 100,000 yuan, and one of them reached 300,000 yuan!
It's completely a difference in geometric progression, compared with the current Khitan and the Great Song Dynasty, it's like asking for a rice flower and a national husband, and it can't be compared at all.
"Alas!"
Yelu Huage's old face shrank into a ball of sorrow.
He saw that the risk of futures was still too great, if he was a businessman, he was willing to gamble, but he was an official of the Khitan, and he was buying grain for His Majesty the Emperor, and he must not come nonsense, and he didn't have so much money in his hand, so he could come wantonly.
He had no choice but to give up the futures market and choose spot.
"Alas, it's just such a thing, is it worth repeating!" Su Zhe was very impatient, "There are many restrictions on the spot market, not only agricultural products, but also timber, mineral products, and livestock products...... How about we can deliver the grain to the border and pick it up at market price? ”
Yelu Huage pondered for a long time, and said with a smile: "Master Su, let's take a look again, take a look!" ”
Su Zhe looked disdainful, what he hated the most was the person who grinded and chirped, he was really a hillbilly, and he had never seen the market! I'm a big Song, do I care about such a little business? And tricking you?
He tried to maintain his elegance, "Your envoy can decide for himself, next time he just goes to the Ministry of Rites Zeng Shilang." ”
The implication is that Lao Tzu is too lazy to take care of you!
The dignified Khitan is so despised by others, it's really shameless! What has happened in these years, and why did the Great Song Dynasty really become the Celestial Empire?
Yelu Huage hesitated, and for three days, he went to the futures market to observe, focusing on the grain...... These days, there is a lot of news, one of the most important is that the tractor has finally succeeded after several improvements, and this year, 200,000 acres of cultivation in the Hetao Plain was completed with only 100 people...... In front of Yelu Huage, it is like a dream, and the myths and stories are more real than this report!
But this is the case, the price of food has fallen, and some long-term businessmen want to cry without tears.
In the trading market, a few families were happy and a few were sad, Yelu Huage was even more chilling, he became more and more sure that he couldn't play these high-end things!
He gritted his teeth and signed a spot agreement, asking Da Song to provide 1 million stone of grain and deliver it to Khitan before the Mid-Autumn Festival!
At the same time, the Khitan wanted to open the market and allow the merchants of the Great Song Dynasty to purchase cattle and sheep...... Yelu Huage calculated, plus freight, 500,000 guan may not be enough, and the Great Song Dynasty is not difficult, there is nothing wrong with buying more grain, the key is that the Khitan is too short of money, so what should I do?
Open the market! Pick up the good goods at home and sell them to Da Song!
From the first time he was fooled by Wang Ning'an and opened a field, to the second longevity ceremony, in order to deal with the Japanese invaders, the Khitan once again purchased military grain and grass from the Great Song Dynasty, this is the third time, and it was knocked open again!
"Brother-in-law, I said can you change some new tricks, I'm tired of looking at it!" Su Shi said without image.
"The trick is not old or new, the key is to work! Since you are tired of watching, why are the Khitans still fooled again and again? Could it be that all their countrymen combined, with so many heads, are not as smart as you? ”
Su Shi patted the door of his brain, thought for a long time, and then said very seriously: "Yes, I see it this way!" ”
……
Wang Ningan doesn't care how the Khitan chooses, whether it is spot or futures, as long as you do business with Da Song, it will be a dead end!
Especially if the door is opened, there will be no place to die.
From the second half of the year, grain is like stepping on a cotton bale, getting higher and higher...... Especially after the Midyear Festival, it has entered the fast lane, and it has doubled compared with the first half of the year!
The price of grain rose, and the feed also rose, followed by all kinds of pigs, cattle and sheep, which jumped up and rose fiercely, and the citizens complained.
And at this time, a group of merchants from the Great Song Dynasty poured into the Khitan, their pockets seemed to be stuffed with money, and they didn't need to pay for it, they directly swept the goods, and the Khitan livestock were all snapped up, loaded on ships, or transported to Jiangnan by train...... A round trip can often get double the profit!
That's the good thing about trains!
Let the whole efficiency increase hundreds of times, crazy up!
Before the Khitan side was aware of it, their stock of cattle and sheep was reduced by one-third.
At the same time, the first batch of 200,000 stone grain was also transported to Youzhou, according to the market price, the 200,000 stone grain needed 300,000 yuan, plus 100,000 yuan freight!
The person in charge of this batch of grain is Wu Shicheng, who now runs the strongest logistics company in the Great Song Dynasty.
"In order to ensure the safety of the transaction, your country also needs to take out 200,000 guan as a deposit, so that the second batch of grain can be shipped as usual...... In other words, you need to pay 600,000 yuan to get the food! Wu Shicheng smiled faintly, "How about it, no problem, right?" ”
