The Turks took the silver and waited for the price of the silver to rise. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info they think that the price increase of silver is inevitable, otherwise Datang would not have calculated them like this before. Those Turks really thought that they had seen through the conspiracy and were smug. But suddenly, news came from outside, which immediately made the entire Turkic people panic.

"Oh no, Bazhuo Gongzi, the price of silver has dropped. Now it is rumored throughout Chang'an City that the Japanese people are no longer buying silver, but are selling silver everywhere, and the price of silver has dropped suddenly. From 1,500 wen 1 tael in the past, it has suddenly dropped to 950 wen 1 tael. What should we do? Now that the price of silver is falling, we will lose! ”

Ba Zhuo immediately said angrily: "Impossible, didn't the Tang people say that the price of silver will definitely rise?" How is it possible to fall? ”

"Boy Bazhuo, there is news of the fall in the price of silver everywhere, and even people have begun to sell silver. Now it's down to 950 wen a tael, what should we do? ”

Bazhuo still didn't believe it and said: "Impossible, if silver doesn't rise, then why should the Tang people calculate us?" ”

"Yes, no, since the Tang people calculate us like this, the price of silver will inevitably rise!" "That's right! The price of silver will definitely rise, impossible! "Yes! The price of silver will definitely rise! ”……

Those Turks didn't believe it, obviously thinking that this silver would definitely rise, because weren't the Tang people calculating them before? If it weren't for the rise in the price of silver, why would Datang calculate them? So because the Tang people calculated them, the silver would definitely rise. This conclusion they have reached is obviously based on this statement as a reason.

These Turks didn't believe it at all, thinking that since this was a conspiracy made by the Tang Dynasty, how could it cause the price of silver to fall?

"Oh no, the price of silver continues to fall, and it is rumored outside that the price of silver has fallen to one, two, nine hundred."

Hearing this, many Turks began to sit still and were talking about it. Before, they had already converted the silver according to the usual money of one tael, that is, one tael of silver and one thousand yuan. But now it has been reduced to 900 wen and one tael, which means that they have actually lost 10 percent. Before, they had heard that the price of silver could rise by 20 percent, so they were so eager to trade. But it was only a day or two, and I lost 10 percent of the money. A loss of 10 percent means that they will lose 10 percent of their supplies, so they will have 10 percent less to feed the population. Of course, they quit and immediately began to get impatient.

"Bazhuo Gongzi, didn't you say that this can increase in price by 20%? Why is it down 10% now? "Yes! Bazhuo Gongzi, the loss of one percent, this is a full one! "Bazhuo Gongzi, Yicheng, aren't we losing Yicheng of supplies like this?" "Bazhuo Gongzi, didn't you swear that you can increase the price by 20%? Why is it a loss of 10% now? ”……

Bazhuo is also in a hurry, obviously I don't know what's going on, he didn't say that he would increase the price by 20% before. He thinks that this is a price increase of 20%, and this is a conspiracy of the Tang people. If it weren't for that, he wouldn't have driven so many people to trade with him! But now that he has lost these, of course he can't stand it. Before, Bazhuo thought that he could take advantage of this transaction to get more benefits, and then gain greater stability for himself and even Xue Yantuo's position on the grassland, but now that they would face such a result, they were all extremely anxious.

Bazhuo hurriedly came to Shi Bufan's place, began to question Shi Bufan, and said angrily: "Shi Yuan Wailang, why has the price of silver fallen now?" ”

"Isn't it normal for the price of silver to fall? The price of silver has fallen, what's so strange about this? Didn't I say that before? The price of silver has grown and fallen, and I even kindly said that I would trade with copper coins, but if you have to settle with silver, then I will settle according to your requirements! I have always emphasized that our Tang Dynasty is a country of etiquette, and we have always had a tradition of treating distinguished guests well. I've been persuading you to settle with copper coins, and you have to settle with silver, so what can I do? Shi Bufan said.

However, Bazhuo still asked anxiously: "Didn't the price of silver rise before?" ”

"Yes! The price of silver has risen before, so who stipulates that it can only rise and not fall? Now that the Japanese don't want silver, isn't that a natural decline? Shi Bufan asked.

"But, you weren't ...... before," Bazhuo suddenly didn't dare to say.

Bazhuo originally wanted to question Shi Bufan, but they were not calculating themselves before, but they had seen through the conspiracy. But now he found that he seemed to be untenable, because he had bribed the people around Shi Bufan before, thinking that he had gotten the news, and thought that he had seen through the other party's conspiracy. But now, he doesn't seem to be able to use this as an excuse to sue Shi Bufan. Especially when he thought he got the inside information, he thought that he could know about the other party's conspiracy, so that he could make a lot of money. But now I find that I can't use this as an excuse to sue the other party!

Just like many stock speculators in later generations, they heard a lot of so-called "insiders" of the market makers, and then thought that they could get up by buying them. But later I found that the price fell, which is really hard to say! Because you're trading through so-called "insiders", then the source is not legitimate. And the so-called trading through the inside is also illegal. If you sue the other party on the grounds of this so-called "insider", isn't it equivalent to making a criminal transaction, and then receiving counterfeit money, and then going to report the case to the police? This is a real dumb person who eats coptis - I can't tell if I have bitterness!

If you intend to gain benefits by breaking the rules, then you still expect the rules to protect your illegal interests? Bazhuo thought that he had obtained the news of the so-called "conspiracy", and then profited from this "conspiracy". But this conspiracy can't be spoken, because this is not a legitimate act in the first place, can it still be used as a reason to let others protect your shady interests?

Shi Bufan continued to say helplessly: "I said before, settle in the form of copper coins, so that you can get stable income." Before, I could have tried to convince the court bosses, but now that the price of silver has begun to fall violently, then I can't do anything about it. Do I want to make the court lose money, and then my official hat and title will be gone. It's not that I don't help you, brother, but I really can't help it. It's not something I can do with such a big deal. Now that the price of silver has begun to fall, if I still want to exchange my usual money for this silver with you, then I will really be removed from my post by the imperial court. This kind of stupid thing, the court bigwigs will not agree. ”

"But ......"

Bazhuo really has bitterness and can't say, who believed in the "conspiracy" of this Tang people before, thinking that since the Tang people are playing a conspiracy, it will inevitably rise in silver prices. Bazhuo thinks that this conspiracy must be due to the rise in the price of silver, since it is someone else's conspiracy, isn't it possible to obtain greater benefits by seeing through the conspiracy? But they think they have seen through the conspiracy, and in turn, they are not playing a conspiracy for Shi Bufan. This time he really had no choice but to say anything, because Shi Bufan had persuaded them before, not only once to persuade them that the price of silver could rise, but it would also fall.

Shi Bufan is really preferential to them, and wants them to get stable income. However, this Bazhuo was confused by the immediate interests, thinking that since Datang wanted to calculate them, the price of silver would inevitably rise. If the price of silver does not rise, then why does Datang calculate them? So he came to a strange conclusion, thinking that Datang was trying to calculate them, so that the price of silver would inevitably rise.

"Do you think I'm counting on you, so the price of silver is rising? The price of silver has risen, so that's why I'm counting you? Hehe, isn't this a common method in sophistry, circular argumentation? You think I'm going to calculate you, so the price of silver is bound to rise. But it is precisely because of the rise in the price of silver that I will calculate against you. I count you because the price of silver has risen. But the price of silver is rising, but because I am calculating you, this brain is really powerful! I'm afraid, you can't say your suffering now! You have obtained information about the so-called 'conspiracy' from me through unreasonable means, but it is impossible for such a channel to be used openly to accuse me. Your sources are not legal and unreasonable, and the information obtained through bribery will be lost because of false information, and you will not be able to use it to question me at all. Do you dare to admit that you bought our people? If you're really stupid enough to admit that you're buying me, you're really stupid. Shi Bufan thought.

Shi Bufan thinks that fools in this world are not necessarily the easiest to suffer, because fools know that they are stupid, but they will be very cautious in doing things, and ask a few more whys, but they are not easy to be fooled. And the smart man will not either, because he will also ask a few more whys, and will not easily believe all kinds of other sources of unknown information. Only those half-bottled vinegars, as if they know something, think that they are the smartest in the world, they think they have obtained some secrets, they are convinced of this so-called "secret" and other people's "conspiracy", they think they have seen through other people's conspiracy, and in turn use "counter-plots", so they think they have made a lot of money.

"Bazhuo Gongzi, you better find a way to sell this silver as soon as possible, so that you can reduce your losses as soon as possible, otherwise you will really lose even more money next. As friends, I don't want you to continue to lose too much, so it's better to stop losses as soon as possible. What do you think? Shi Bufan asked.

Shi Bufan said hypocritically: "In this way, I am more familiar with the people of my Datang Money Village Federation, and let them pay a premium of fifty wen to buy this silver." When the time comes, you can get an extra fifty wen and try to recover some of your losses. ”

Bazhuo quickly left, and when he left, he soon found that the price of silver had actually dropped to 800 wen and one tael, which was a direct loss of 20 percent. However, under Shi Bufan's promise, the Datang Qianzhuang Federation purchased silver at a premium of 50 Wen, that is, at a price of 850 Wen, so that the silver flowed back into the hands of the Datang Qianzhuang Federation again.

"Shi Yuan Wailang, this time you are really turning stones into gold! In just a few days, the Turks were swept away with half a percent of their wealth. Through this silver, we bought their things at a discount of the usual money, but now we have bought them back for 850 yuan, which means that we have made 50% out of thin air! ”

Shi Bufan continued: "Very good, next, the imperial court will get the war horse." We've all made some profits, so let's get the silver ready and we're ready to move on to the next step. According to the previously scheduled script, this time it is the turn of the merchants in Chang'an. The big merchants in Chang'an could trade goods with the Turks, and the imperial court would charge them more than double the tax. Anyway, the wool comes from the sheep, and these merchants will also pass on these taxes and fees to the Turks, so that the Turks will inevitably lose a lot. ”

"When the time comes, we can continue to restore the price of silver to normal, and then let the Turks go on our script again. This silver will become an important tool for us to exploit the Turks. This plucking, calculating this and that on the grassland all day long, as if the whole world is calculating and calculating. ”

"He obviously simply treats business as politics, and completely uses political thinking to measure business, which is simply putting the cart before the horse."

Shi Bufan knows that many people subconsciously regard business as politics, and completely and thoroughly use political thinking to measure business. In this world, it is true that business and politics are conjoined babies, twins, which cannot be completely separated, and are intertwined. However, it is not possible to completely superstitious politics because of this, and there will still be basic business rules. When supply exceeds demand, prices rise, and oversupply means prices fall, which is an inevitable phenomenon that cannot be stopped by politics. Although businessmen need to understand politics, it does not mean that they should be superstitious about politics and ignore the most basic business rules.

Business is still business in the final analysis, and although it has something to do with politics, it cannot be completely equated with politics. Many people just make a mistake, that is, to completely use political thinking to measure business, so that in the end, not only is it not making money, but it will definitely lose to grandma's family. Bazhuo is completely putting the cart before the horse, completely measuring business with political thinking, thinking that since Datang calculates them, then he thinks he is proud when he sees through the scheme, so he has fallen for the conspiracy of Shi Bufan.
