Zhao Ji's eyes flashed, and she forced the urge to laugh out loud.

Did these businessmen finally know how powerful Dean Bai was? Although the opportunity to make money is good, if someone is carried away, it must be the one who dies the worst, and these guys in front of him are!

In the past, the method of running the salt industry was very simple: to buy large quantities of salt from salt-producing countries such as Qiyan, and then use the transportation resources at the disposal of various trading companies to transport it to salt-deficient countries like Lao Qin, and sell it at a higher price.

After Bai Dong and Xu Gong built these 68 salt trade bases, it was equivalent to opening a 'salt trade network', which not only built a huge water 6 transportation network to provide transportation and consignment services for merchants from all walks of life, but also traded themselves, allowing salt merchants from various countries to trade directly with the bases, and also supported the buying and selling of salt merchants from all walks of life. The salt trade base is like a third-party trading platform, although it will charge some 'handling fees', but it fully guarantees the fairness, fairness and openness of the transaction.

For example, Zhao Ju's trading company bought refined salt from Wei, so he could choose to send it to Bashu in the far southwest through the transportation network of the Guò salt trade base, and after arriving in Bashu, they could sell it on their own or entrust the base to sell it on their behalf, or they could simply sacrifice some profits to sell the salt in the base, and even trade with local merchants in Bashu; Therefore, when the salt trade stronghold first appeared, the salt merchants in the world also had the feeling of 'wolf coming'. Maybe there is no such fashionable term in this era, but that's what it means.

However, they soon realized the benefits, although the salt trade base asked for money for everything, it helped them solve the transportation safety problem and the most worrying capital turnover problem; Basically, as long as you buy refined salt from Wei. There will be a profit when you change hands. The emergence of salt strongholds, although at some point depressed their profit margins. However, it also reduces operational risks and transportation risks. The feeling of making money with peace of mind is still very good, in the past, although the profits are extremely high, but it is extremely risky, in case you encounter bandits and bandits or something, then you have to lose all your money! People don't worry about this, let alone bandits, how about Deng Lingzi? Doesn't it mean that it will be extinguished? The bandits in the world who dare to provoke Baizi are afraid that they have not yet been born.

In fact, this is also true. Since the construction of the salt trade base for half a year, there has really been no loss of goods, whether it is self-transported goods or entrusted by salt merchants, all the places have been calm; In fact, salt merchants from all over the world don't know that there are still many strongmen entrenched in the transportation network chosen by Bai Dong, but other people's goods are to be grabbed, and when they meet the Bai family's convoy, most of them are invited to the mountains to drink heartily, and the brothers have to sing loudly after drinking too much. In order to show his affection, since he hugged Baizi's thigh, he sat on the mountain and received a share of the money. Since then, I have walked less mountain roads, my waist is no longer painful, my legs are not sore, and my mood is cheerful, and there is nothing happier in life than this.

Bai Dong is thinking about whether it is time to start a dart game, this kind of simple method of buying roads in later generations does not understand, they only know that they hire a large number of rangers to fight with these local dragons and snakes, and when they come to him, the bandits and bandits on each line have taken benefits, and they have all become friends, and these men who lick blood with knives are very moved. The benefits are actually secondary, the key is that a big man like Baizi is willing to look at us and treat us as a person, will those aristocratic lords succeed? That's friendship!

The benefits of the salt trading base soon set up an invisible salt market, and two months ago, salt merchants were pleasantly surprised to see the daily price of salt in the trading hall. Every day, the stronghold will assign someone to write the price of the day on the giant blackboard, and at first everyone couldn't figure out why Baizi would do such a stupid thing, and the next thing made their jaws drop; From this day on, they can not only sell the real salt in their hands according to the price of salt on the day, even if they do not buy refined salt from Wei, they can also directly buy the salt trade base, and after buying, they can choose to sell it themselves to earn higher profits, or they can directly entrust the base to re-trade without putting forward the real salt, and do a kind of trading activity similar to paper.

This kind of trading method similar to the stock of later generations is really too novel, Wei refined salt is now more and more hot, if you buy salt from Wei and then to the stronghold to list the transaction although the profit is higher, but it is also more hard, and it may not be able to buy, and in the stronghold to buy the right hand to sell, it seems that the profit is lower, but the turnover is extremely fast, and although the price of salt fluctuates, it has been slowly rising, if you hoard some early, after a month and a half in January, it is a greater profit! The salt merchants are crazy, can they still make money like this?

Just like the Huaxia that opened the stock market for the first time in later generations, more and more people began to participate in this novel 'salt frying' activity, and the price of refined salt in Wei was pushed to an unprecedented peak!

If you want to release water to flood people, you have to store water first, so Bai Dong doesn't mind pushing the price of a handful of salt behind his back. Of course, he will ensure that the refined salt in each transaction has a physical corresponding, which is the bottom line of doing business, and it is also the guarantee to promote the continuous increase in the price of salt in Wei.

Wei Guo was very happy to hear this, and after the people in the intelligence department got the news, Wei Ying almost laughed crookedly. He wanted to invite Bai Dong and Xu Gong to drink, these two were simply doing him a big favor, anyway, now it is Wei State that can sell refined salt in large quantities, you speculate the price as high as possible, in the end, it is not Wei State that gets the biggest benefits?

In fact, it was not only the Wei State that got the benefits, the establishment of the salt market also made the salt price marketized and transparent for the first time, coupled with the transportation and sales network built by Bai Dong and Xu Gong, as far as Zhao Han and as far as Chu and Yue Bashu, some non-salt-producing countries have since obtained a relatively stable supply of refined salt. With the big market built by Bai Dong, they no longer have to look at the faces of those salt-producing countries and have been scraped off a few layers of oily skin. And once these 'consumer countries' are controlled, salt-producing countries like Yanqi and salt-producing and secondary deep-processing producing countries like Wei will gradually be controlled by Bai Dong and Xu Gong; the salt market was not established entirely to crack down on Wei, and this is also the 'market model' that Bai Dong and Xu Gong want to set.

Even after the collapse of salt prices in Wei, the big market model will continue; The ancients were not fools, once they saw something good. will also hold on tightly and refuse to let go. And Wei Ying and Pang Juan are not so stupid. Even if Wei wants to liquidate and retaliate, it will look for greater benefits, and the big market established by Bai Dong and Xu Gong will not bring them the merit of expanding their territory, let alone offend the merchants of the world.

The establishment of the salt trade market has made the world's merchants more convinced of Bai Dong, this Bai Zi is probably more powerful than his teacher Guiguzi, and I don't know how his head grows from envy to worship, Bai Dong has invisibly become a model and example for the world's businessmen. Just like Fan Li back then and Lu Buwei, a giant businessman in the future, in this era of many countries, which country can't get along with such a giant businessman, that's a brain pump.

With the big salt market, Bai Dong can use the method of four or two thousand catties to control the price of salt, these businessmen who have just entered the 'stock market' have no sense of risk at all, and in the past two months, everyone thinks that the price of salt should keep rising, and in fact, it is also true, from the time they started to fry salt, almost never lost money. Now everyone has Wei refined salt in 10,000 stones, if it is put up for sale. At least double the profit.

It is the most ridiculous thing to expect the ancients to scientifically understand the relationship between supply and demand of commodities, and the false prosperity of the salt market stimulated both these salt merchants and large salt-producing countries like Qi Yan, especially the Wei state. Wei Ying only knew that the more salt he refined, the more money he could make, but he didn't know that under someone's secret promotion, the sea salt that Yan and Qi had hoarded for ten years were all bought by him 6 times, and if these sea salts were all sold as refined salt of Wei State, although they could not saturate the world market, sooner or later the price of salt would plummet.

The time Bai Dong had been waiting for had finally arrived, now not only was the inventory of the Qi State empty, but even the salt works he and Xu Gong had jointly built were about to be bought out by the Wei people. In the past half month, Wei has purchased twice as much sea salt as before! At the same time, Wei State built a secret salt industry base on a large scale, and half of the shops in Wei Guoguan City changed their careers to become salt merchants, Bai Dong can now determine that Senior Brother Pang Juan is a small partner who can be trusted, and he really helped him pit the last national capital of Wei State.

Wei Ying, can you die if you don't die? So I can't blame anyone if I die.

Almost in one day, there were large sales orders at the same time in sixty-eight salt trade bases, and the sky was pitiful, it was just one day, and the price of refined salt in Wei was forced to fold by three percent! The salt merchants of the various countries waiting in Wei ran faster than when they came; When the price of salt was high, if they could buy Wei salt, they could sell it to the salt trade base, although it was hard but profitable, but now the price of salt has plummeted, and the 'salt brand' hoarded in their hands does not know whether it can be sold or not, who will be stupid to buy Wei salt? It's too late to cry

Zhao Ju couldn't cry anymore. Zhao is the closest to Wei, and these salt merchants are also the most ferocious people who speculate on Wei salt, and now the price of salt has plummeted, and they will be liquidated by the family even if they don't go bankrupt, so when they heard the news of Zhao Ji's arrival, they came to visit as soon as possible. They don't have much resentment against Bai Zi, the price of salt has been skyrocketing during this time, and they have not had a hundred or eighty opportunities to show up, and Bai Zi has repeatedly reminded them that 'the salt market is risky, and they need to be cautious when entering the market', but they themselves did not listen, and they let go of the opportunity to cash out for profit, who can complain about now? They are now just begging for Baizi with a glimmer of hope, hoping to reduce some losses.

"I told you a long time ago that the salt market has huge profits and huge risks, and it is you who are greedy and refuse to leave, so who is to blame now? It's also to blame that Wei Ying for desperately producing refined salt in order to make money, which caused the market to saturate and the price of salt to plummet" Zhao Ji sighed, with infinite sympathy on her face.

"Steward Zhao is right, it's all Wei Guo's fault, but we're killed!"

Li Ju and the others scolded Wei Ying and then turned back and pleaded: "But since Steward Zhao is willing to see us, then Bai Zi will definitely make a move?" We know that Baizi is a giant businessman in the world and a famous man in the world, how can he not be saved if he dies? Steward Zhao, don't hang everyone's appetite, what does Baizi mean, please instruct."

Zhao Ji smiled and glanced at everyone: "You gang of treacherous and greedy people, if I say it, I won't save it!" Leave you to die! But who made Bai Zi's heart soft" (to be continued......)
