Chapter 212: The Exchange Opens
When Wen Qian returned to the place where the Huns were again, he found that this time there were fewer horses than the last time. He couldn't help frowning and said to a ragged Hun man: "Why so little? ”
This Hun did not speak Chinese very well, and explained for a long time. Wen Qian heard that it was a bunch of difficulties, the roads were covered with snow, the tribal wars, anyway, there were so few, you can look at it. However, the price has gone up. The reasons for the price increase are also very simple, or the reasons above. Scarcity is expensive.
Forget it, let's hurry up and pay. Wen Qian collected the horse and left the alley. The exchange will be open in a few days, and whoever has more horses at this time will be able to make a lot of money.
Just walked out of this alley to meet up with his brother. Someone immediately whistled at him, and a middle-aged man put his hands in his sleeves, slowly leaned in, and said in an official accent: "Whether your horse is sold or not, I will pay this number." ”
As he spoke, he slightly showed his hand from his sleeve and compared his fingers.
Wen Qian's eyes suddenly widened, two points higher than the existing market. Is this person crazy?
"How? To sell or not to sell? Very good price too. "That's human.
Wen Qian almost relented, but after all, he was also a person who did great things, and he had to observe carefully, and as soon as he looked at the person's appearance and accent, he was puzzled and asked, "Where is my brother?" ”
The man grinned and said, "You don't have to worry about this, just ask you, do you want to sell horses?" ”
Wen Qian's brother Wen Yong had been waiting on the side of the road, and when he saw that his brother couldn't come, he took the initiative to come over, and when he saw this person, he asked, "Big brother, who are you talking to?" ”
When the man saw a third person coming, he immediately took two steps back and urged, "How is it?" ”
Wen Qian looked at his appearance and preliminarily judged that he was one of the southern high-rollers. It seems that today, when the price of horses is rising day by day, there is also a crack in the alliance of southerners, and some people are secretly looking for food.
If Wen Qian made a deal with him, although he might not make too much money, at least he would make real money when he changed hands, and he would be in his pocket. But he remembered Cui Guang's words, what is it to make a little gold, if he offends the Cui family, it will be a miserable loss. Thinking of this, he shook his head and turned to his brother.
The southerner sighed, looked out into the alley, and walked away.
Wen Yong saw that his brother had bought a horse, so he asked, "Who was it just now?" ”
Wen Qian said: "It's just a matter of asking for directions......
The two brothers went back together.
Snowflakes slowly began to fall in the sky again. The fabled horse exchange finally opened, but there were no transactions on the first day. There was a difference of 108,000 li between the price given by the buyer and the seller, one refused to buy and the other refused to sell. There may be retail investors who want to trade, but because of the tacit understanding between the two sides, no one stands up.
Later, in the alley, a small conflict broke out. cast a shadow over this farce.
People gathered in the mansion of the owner of Feng Zhuang again, and everyone was worried in their hearts, waiting for Cui Guang, who was led by the Cui family, to speak. But Cui Guang never appeared. Everyone urged the owner of the village surnamed Feng, but Nafeng said: "Mr. Cui is discussing with an important guest, please stay away." ”
Someone immediately shouted: "It can't be a deal with a southern merchant in private, right?" At the beginning, he asked us not to sell it, and today it seems that southerners don't eat this set. ”
The other person immediately said: "Ji Laosan, what are you anxious about?" It's just the first day, and there will always be a gap. If you can't stand the loneliness, you sell it at the price of the southerners. Don't think I don't know, you have been buying horses on the black market these days, and you have bought so many Hun horses, if you sell them at this price, it will be a loss. ”
Ji Laosan said: "You didn't buy a horse? Now in the entire Ji County, only the Huns smuggled horses in. If you don't buy from them, who will you buy? Tell you, my purchase price is low, even if I sell at today's price, I won't lose, it's a big deal to make a little less. If it weren't for Mr. Cui's face, I would have sold it a long time ago. ”
Wen Qian was shocked in his heart, thinking that he went to the Huns every day to watch the horses, and the daily supply was only a little, why did the people here seem to be in stock. The little old man surnamed Xu didn't come today, so he asked someone he knew and asked, "Why didn't Mr. Xu come today?" ”
The man smiled and said, "That old boy is shrewd, and he has already taken off the horse in his hand in the morning." ”
Wen Qian was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "Huh?" Sold? Who did he sell to? Didn't Mr. Cui say that he would not be allowed to sell? ”
The man said: "It was sold to the Cui family." It was sold to the Cui family at a price below the market price. Now only the Cui family has the money to collect horses, how can others have this strength? ”
Wen Qianxin said that this is the case, Cui Guang only said that he could not sell to southerners, but he did not say that he could not sell to his own people. This old man Xu also took advantage of the loophole. However, at the market price, it is estimated that it will not make much money, unless it is a product that was bought earlier.
Wen Qian felt dizzy from the noise, so he came out to breathe and walked along the house.
Judging from today's situation, it is not ideal. Southerners don't seem to be so easy to be bullied, and they come all the way to buy horses, but they are still hard-mouthed. It's just that if Cui Guang gives in, his hard-won horse will be smashed in his hands.
Of course, the dozens of horses he used to have still made money, but he only received goods from the Huns, and the profits were not much. It's a great opportunity, so you don't miss it.
With his mind in mind, he unconsciously walked to a courtyard at the back of the house, where there seemed to be a faint sound of talking. After a while, the door of a room suddenly opened, and the voice became clear.
"Mr. Cui doesn't need to send it, I just came here today to suggest one or two, and the actual operation is still in Mr. Cui's hands."
Cui Guang's voice said: "The second son took time out of his busy schedule to come and take care of Cui, I am really grateful." ”
Wen Qian immediately stopped and looked in that direction, only to see a few figures walking towards him, unable to dodge.
When the visitor saw Wen Qian, he smiled and said, "Ah, Brother Wen, don't come unharmed." ”
Wen Qian had no choice but to nod with a smile. This man's smile, he could see in his dreams several times, and he couldn't help but feel sick. But after all, the other party is a state pastor, so he has to give enough face. So he hugged his fists and said, "Wen has seen an adult." ”
Yuan Xi waved his hand and said, "Come over today, just talk to Mr. Cui, don't disturb you, and say goodbye." ”
As he spoke, he swaggered away with the left and right.
Wen Qian looked at the back, and the feeling in his heart was indescribable.
Cui Guang stood beside him and said to himself, "Brother Wen, do you know what he came here to do today?" ”
Wen Qian asked, "Do what?" ”
Cui Guang sighed: "He advised us to make an agreement with the southerners, trade as soon as possible, and don't make too much money." ”
Wen Qian was a little surprised, and said: "After all, he collects taxes, as long as he makes a deal, he can collect taxes, no wonder he is anxious." ”
Cui Guang smiled: "Exactly." ”
Wen Qian asked, "Mr. Cui agreed?" ”
Cui Guang said: "How is it possible? Don't worry, I asked you to act in unison, and I won't let you suffer. As long as the buying and selling is still there, you have to make enough money to make the difference. Everyone has money to earn together. ”
Wen Qian's heart suddenly fell, this person from the Cui family is really bold, and he doesn't have to worry about it.
