Chapter 391: Fur Merchant War
Wang Hufeng smiled, this was the answer he wanted to get. Because the answer is the same as he predicted before, there must be a huge business opportunity lurking here, otherwise Fan would not have chosen this time to buy a large number of furs.
Wang Hufeng immediately ordered that the operation of purchasing furs should be launched immediately from now on.
When his subordinates were puzzled, Wang Hufeng smiled mysteriously: "This is called drawing salary from the bottom of the kettle, what he receives, we will collect, with our abundant funds and deep connections, who do you say is the final winner?" β
Winter comes very early, and as soon as autumn passes, there is already a lot of snow. Wang Hufeng was like a clever gambler this time, and he really let him put the "gambling money" right. The cold early winter and the economic recovery outside the Saiwai made the fur market that had been sluggish all the way bullish, Wang Hufeng finally breathed a sigh of relief this time, because he knew that this fur acquisition, although he did not start as early as Fan's, but later due to his wide range of acquaintances, the purchase of fur was actually more than Fan's inventory. But this joyful mood was soon broken by a piece of news, because Fan's suddenly sold all the goods when the market was just bullish.
Did Fan get some bad news?
After Wang Hu Fengru sat on pins and needles for two days, he was finally relieved, because Fan had just sold the goods this time, and the fur market not only did not decline, but rose a little. In other words, due to a mistake in judgment, Fan gave up the greater profits that belonged to him. Wang Hufeng knows that according to the past fur market, the time when fur is the most profitable is after the early winter has passed. Fan's firm finally made a mistake in decision-making, and Wang Hufeng was complacent. He believes that this is just a good start.
The hoarding of fur has made Fan's firm a considerable profit, and many people are complaining: "It would have been nice if it had been a few days late." β
this day. Fan Changfeng summoned all the shopkeepers of all the properties of Fan's firm.
Dong Shaoqing glanced at the dozens of people, suddenly became serious, and said slowly: "You remember, people are the most greedy, and the same is true for business, when the goods get a better profit, you must sell them in time." The true meaning of hoarding business is that 'expensive is like dung, cheap is like pearl', and you can't wait too much for high prices. Keeping the goods in our hands will only miss the opportunity to sell, and only by letting the circulation of goods and coins be like running water, will we not be passive......"
Really. Because of Fan's amazing ability to accumulate wealth, it was rumored to be boiling. Some businessmen who also run the fur business learned that Fan's suddenly sold all the goods inexplicably under the optimistic market of fur, so they also threw out the hoarded fur decisively, and the market was suddenly panicked, and the price of fur fell all the way.
Wang Hufeng would never have thought that the market would change so quickly, and he saw that the warehouse was full of hoarded fur. Selling will depreciate the cost, and if you continue to hoard, you don't know if it will drop more in the future. A few days ago, he was still full of ambition, and he was so sad that he almost wanted to vomit blood.
Wang Hufeng tossed and turned, but he couldn't think of a foolproof plan.
At a critical moment, Wang Hufeng's wife persuaded him: "Why don't you ask the person who is in charge of the Fan family, I think this person has a long-term vision and a broad mind, if you take the initiative to visit him, this person will definitely release his suspicions against you." β
After two days of painful choices, the helpless Wang Hufeng finally admitted that his business talent was not at the same level as Fan's. In desperation, he finally mustered up the courage and took the initiative to visit Fan.
It was Dong Shaoqing who received Wang Hufeng, Wang Hufeng thought that he would be ridiculed by Dong Shaoqing, but what he didn't expect was that Dong Shaoqing showed great enthusiasm and sincerity for his arrival.
When Wang Hufeng asked Dong Shaoqing for advice on the future direction of the fur market, Dong Shaoqing said: "The land of Qilu is the place of 'crown and clothing and shoes in the world', bringing together many excellent tailors in the world, if you want to reduce losses, you can transport the fur to Qilu, hire the best tailor there, cut the fur into the favorite clothes and hats of today's powerful literati, and then take advantage of Qilu's geographical advantages of 'the world's people are crowned with clothes and shoes', and sell a large number of them to various places. β
Dong Shaoqing's frank and high-minded remarks made Wang Hufeng suddenly feel relieved, and he was grateful and ashamed in his heart, so he kept patting his head hard and thanked him repeatedly.
Sure enough, after Wang Hufeng adopted Fan's strategy, he quickly succeeded in selling all the hoarded goods, and also made a considerable profit.

Li Longji became the prince of the prison country, Princess Taiping went to her own fiefdom, it stands to reason that Li Longji's power is greater, but I don't know what's going on, after Yao Chong and Song Jing were demoted from Beijing, Li Longji was suppressed by Princess Taiping, who was remote commanded in Puzhou, and his strength was far less than before.
The positions of Yao Chong and Song Jing were installed by Princess Taiping with a group of cronies, not only that, but the old minister Wei Anshi was secretly surrendered by Princess Taiping Mingsheng because of several attempts to protect the prince, and on the surface he was promoted to the second rank of the left servant, but in fact he was deprived of real power and sent to Luoyang, the eastern capital. The prince's teacher, Zhang Shuo, was appointed as Shangshu Zuocheng and was also assigned to Luoyang. In the entire prime minister's group, Li Longji's people are the only one left, Liu Youqiu. Liu Youqiu was originally just a county magistrate, but because of the coup d'Γ©tat, he was promoted to the high position of prime minister. His qualifications and influence are far inferior to Yao Chong, and even those old bureaucrats under Princess Taiping cannot be compared.
After the efforts of Princess Taiping, in just three months, the balance of power between her and Li Longji has changed significantly, and many people have seen this: Li Longji at this moment, although it seems that he is the prince in charge of the country and has great power, but his comprehensive strength is weaker than before the prison of the country, and the whole thing is hollowed out.

On the seventeenth day of the lunar month, in the Lantian Palace, Li Tao once again feasted Xue Ne and Xie Wan.
"Two old generals, our March appointment has arrived, and I keep my promise, so I invite two old generals again!" Li Taohao said coolly.
"Lantian King is really a believer!" Xue Ne and Xie Wan saluted Li Tao.
Xue Xie and the two of them went to the banquet this time, and their mood was completely different from three months ago. If three months ago, Xue Ne and Xie Wan were somewhat disdainful of Li Tao, then now they admire Li Tao. Li Tao did not break his promise, and sure enough, he took all the Yulin Army and Wanqi into his hands in three months, and did not borrow the two of them at all, and did it completely by himself.
The wine is still ancient wine, and the food is still the food of Yonghelou, Li Tao is not polite, and said to the two: "Two generals, we haven't drunk for three months, come and come, today we will get drunk and rest!" β
Xue Ne and Xie Wan smiled bitterly: "King Lantian, let us two old guys go today, we are willing to bow down!" (To be continued......)
