Chapter 223: Enlightenment
"Oh......" Song Qi saw Luo Yangxing's stunned look, and said meaningfully, waving the folding fan in his hand and saying, "It turns out that the commander is here for this matter, and it seems that although his business is secret, it has still spread to the capital." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Song Qi's performance this time was obviously that he knew a lot of situations, and his performance was very obvious, so he waited for Luo Yangxing and Yang Tao and others to ask.
Of course, Luo Yangxing would not let go of such an unexpected gain, and immediately asked, "What else does Brother Song know?" Don't hide it anymore, hurry up and tell me about it! ”
There is no doubt that Song Qi has been in Zhangjiakou for so many years, and he must have hidden a lot of information about the big businessman Wang Dengku in his stomach, and seeing his eagerness to try, Luo Yangxing naturally will not let go of this opportunity, and he doesn't even have time to complain or blame Song Qi for why he didn't report what he knew.
Song Qi originally wanted to tell everything he knew, so as soon as Luo Yangxing's words fell, he opened his mouth and said, "Wang Dengku has been in Zhangjiakou for a long time, and he knows more about things on the grassland than the imperial court. ”
"Well, what Brother Song said is indeed reasonable, since there is a war on the grassland, the salt, tea and other materials are also scarce, Wang Dengku, who is doing this business, seems to be able to make a lot of money this time......" Luo Yangxing also understands the concept of "fishing in troubled waters" very well, of course, he quickly understood what Song Qi meant, so he echoed and said-Although he is Shangguan, he is indeed "echoing" at this time.
"What the commander said is right." Song Qi continued, "It's just that at this juncture, if you and I are Wang Dengku, just selling salt and tea, isn't it a bit of a missed opportunity?" ”
"What Song Qianhu said is really good, since there is a war on the grassland, it must not be just the price increase of necessary materials such as salt and tea." Luo Zhenxing listened to Song Qi's "inspiration", and suddenly "suddenly realized" that he had taken over Song Qi's conversation before his own Luo Yang, which also made Song Qi feel very pleased, and it seemed that his inspiration had finally taken effect.
However, what Luo Zhenxing said next was to disappoint Song Qi, "Since the war continues, the prices of the skins, cattle and sheep that the Mongols can trade must also drop significantly, if I am Wang Dengku, I will definitely take this opportunity to stock up on a large number ......of them, and I will definitely make a lot of money by selling them to the south in the future."
"......" Song Qi's mood at the moment can be described as a big disappointment, he thought that this young man had understood his meaning, but in the end what he said was completely out of bounds - the Mongols could get their hands on it, and what they used to trade was not the skins, cattle and sheep in their hands? Since the price of tea and salt has risen, the price of leather goods, cattle and sheep will naturally have to be reduced.
"I don't agree with the words of the revitalization brother." At this moment, Yang Tao opened his mouth again to join the discussion, bringing another trace of hope to Song Qi's heart.
"Since there are wars everywhere on the grasslands, there must be a lot of dead and wounded among the Mongolian tribes, and since their skins, cattle and sheep are worthless, maybe they can exchange salt and tea for horses!"
"Wang Dengku is a businessman, the most important thing for a businessman is to make a fortune quietly, what does he want so many horses for? Isn't this blatantly telling the court that he is recruiting troops and is about to rebel at any time? Song Qi was simply disappointed in Yang Tao and Luo Zhenxing's ability to understand, these two people were still the best among the young people of Jinyiwei, but their brains were so rigid, and they didn't know how Luo Yangxing chose the people.
Of course, Yang Tao and Luo Zhenxing are not businessmen after all, and they don't even have the opportunity to contact businessmen on weekdays, even if they do, it is nothing more than contact with the shopkeepers of some teahouses, wine shops, and inns when they go out on errands, and the topics they talk about are often to inquire about the whereabouts of the fugitives, or "Jinyiwei investigates the case, and you still want tea/wine/room money?" As a result, it was impossible for them to understand anything like business operations, so at this moment, they seemed to have a feeling of "rotten wood cannot be carved", which disappointed Song Qi.
It is estimated that if Wang Jingyuan, who has been the shopkeeper in Daxing for many years, is here at this moment, he may be able to understand the meaning of Song Qi's words.
Since the two young people that Luo Yangxing admires are like this, then Luo Yangxing himself can't be expected to have any business acumen - of course, there are no business-minded people in Jinyiwei, after all, they are all doing errands of pondering how to investigate cases and investigate enemy situations, and of course they don't know anything about making money by running a business, or in other words, only people like Song Qi, who have been in Zhangjiakou, a city that exists for business, for a long time, can form some business acumen under the influence of many years. It is also an alternative among Jinyiwei.
Song Qi finally gave up the inspiration, so he had to directly announce the final correct answer alone, "Since the war on the grassland is scorching, compared with tea and salt, which are things that can't kill people if you don't eat them for a while, goods such as grain and iron tools are undoubtedly more sought-after, especially iron tools, and the profits in them are more than ten times that compared with tea, do you think Wang Dengku can let go of this great opportunity?" ”
"Shhh Listening to Song Qi's words, Luo Yangxing and the others all gasped, and Yang Tao couldn't help but be the first to say, "Selling grain and iron tools outside the customs is forbidden by the imperial court." Especially iron weapons, which can be directly used to make weapons, and it is a big crime to kill the head if caught, so Wang Dengku is now full of money, isn't he afraid of being discovered, and finally ends up in a family and extermination? ”
"Haha, why did Brother Yang Tao say such innocent words?" Song Qi smiled after hearing his words, but probably because in front of Yang Tao, Song Qi didn't call him "little brother", "What I said is not a secret in this Zhangjiakou City, not to mention that everyone knows it, even if it is a peddler and pawn on the road, I am afraid they can say a thing or two." Besides, if it weren't for these forbidden businesses, just selling tea and leather goods back and forth, how could Wang Dengku and the others achieve their current net worth so quickly? ”
