As soon as he spoke, everyone's eyes looked at him. Chen Yuan stood up from his seat with a slight smile and clenched his fists around: "Everyone, maybe everyone knows that the emperor let me study with peace of mind and take a test." I would like to invite you to come today, first of all, it is the fault that I have not visited your predecessors for so long. ”

No one answered, and there were all human spirits sitting here, and they all knew that this reason was pure nonsense! What they want to hear is the latter words.

I only heard Chen Yuan continue: "What's more, I am really unwilling to stop doing business like this, although those scholars look down on us to do business, but only we know how beautiful it is in private." ”

All the people who said this felt the same way. Doing business is harder, but it is easier than farming, more free than working, and much less risky than being an official! And as long as the business is done well, you can also have three palaces and six courtyards at home!

Take the shipbuilder Wu shopkeeper as an example, he bought a small island on the edge of Dongying, he was the grandson of the Great Song Dynasty, and he was the emperor when he arrived on that island! More than a dozen beauties from Dongying and Goryeo are waiting for him to pamper them! The emperor has everything on his island, and he also has what the palace doesn't have! He doesn't have to worry about his so-called "social work" yet. Do you think that an official can live such a life?

The shopkeeper Xue was a very stable person, looked at Chen Yuan, and said meaningfully: "Shimei, I am a few years older than you, relying on the old and selling the old to say, if the emperor doesn't want you to do business, you should not do it." ”

Chen Yuan nodded: "Thank you for the advice of Shopkeeper Xue, I think so too, so I have handed over the two businesses of the villa and the city to my brothers, and I hope that the seniors will take care of it in the future." However, I came to you this time because I think there is a transaction that I can do that is not a transaction, and I would like to discuss it with you. ”

Everyone looked at each other, not that there were no officials who came to them to do business, and those transactions rarely made money, most of them were money-losing businesses, and they all went into the pockets of those officials. Now that this future colt master has also come to the door, does he want to knock on it? That's a bit fast, isn't it? He hasn't made a colt yet!

Besides, even if you want to knock on a stroke, you can't call so many people to come together at once. Sitting in this room, the big figures in the business community of Bianjing are not knocked out by ordinary officials.

Of course, Chen Yuan knew what these people were thinking in their hearts, and immediately continued: "Don't misunderstand, seniors, the juniors just thought of a money-making deal, but the juniors have a shallow foundation and really can't do it, so I hope to get the help of the seniors." Don't worry, let me say first, if you put any money in me, I will send you a receipt. ”

When he said the receipt, these people were relieved. The reason is very simple, if it is a deliberate knock, it will never be a receipt. Since Chen Yuan made the receipt, he really didn't have enough funds, which can be completely believed.

I don't believe in Chen Shimei, but I believe in his identity as a quasi-concubine!

The shopkeeper of the cloth village did not speak until now: "Shopkeeper Chen, we believe that you are short of money, so let's open your mouth and say a number, how much can you do the business that you want to do that is not a business?" ”

Other people are also willing to borrow money, they are not afraid that Chen Yuan can't afford to pay it back now, Chen Yuan can't afford to pay it back, isn't there still his father-in-law!

People will soon be royal people, and the royal family will not fail to repay debts, and Renzong can't afford to lose this face.

Chen Yuan said with a smile: "I think you have misunderstood, I mean please ask you to help me do it together, make money, we will divide it equally according to the amount of investment, and I will take half of it." If you don't earn it, I'm responsible for returning the principal to you, but there is no interest. ”

Half of the ingredients, that's five percent. That's not a problem! Even if Chen Yuan really wanted to borrow it, these people were definitely willing to borrow. They just want to know now what kind of business Chen Yuan wants to do and how much money he wants to borrow.

Ma Chang coughed lightly, attracting everyone's attention to him: "Shopkeeper Chen, can you tell us everyone, what business you are going to do?" ”

Chen Yuan nodded: "Of course you can, but please pay attention to the wording, I don't think it's a deal, the emperor has let me study with peace of mind and prepare for the fame test, so in my opinion, this is just a game, a game that can make money." ”

Everyone is quietly waiting for the following, such a statement is obviously covering up the ears and stealing the bell, no matter what game, if you can make money, you can buy and sell.

Chen Yuan said: "Everyone knows that the wool harvest in Liao is particularly good this year, but due to the tense situation at the border gates, the bulk of wool is pressed in Liao, and the merchants of Liao are desperately looking for buyers, which gives me an opportunity." ”

Shopkeeper Zhang nodded slightly: "It looks like autumn is coming, it is the season for spinning, and the demand for wool in the Great Song Dynasty is also particularly tense because of the problem of border control. ”

Chen Yuan left the chair, slapped his palm, and Chen Shizhong brought in a plate. No one knew what that meant.

Chen Yuan continued: "Shopkeeper Zhang misunderstood, the opportunity I said is not the opportunity to sell wool, but the opportunity to fry wool!" ”

He lifted the red cloth from the plate, and the people saw three handfuls of wool in it.

Chen Yuan picked up the first handful: "This is the wool of the Liao Kingdom." You are all experts in trading, I think we all know that now the wool of Liao is always two catties, if I keep collecting, how much to collect, what will be the price of wool after a month? ”

Shopkeeper Zhang is an expert in this regard, and he didn't think at all after hearing this: "The annual output of wool in Liao is only 300,000 heads, if the shopkeeper Chen keeps collecting, it is estimated that in two months at most, the people of Liao will even take out last year's wool to sell, and there have been times when wool has skyrocketed before, and the highest price is two and a half per catty." ”

Chen Yuan smiled: "Shopkeeper Zhang's estimate is the same as I thought. Two and a half per catty, a full triple, which is already a high price. But if I continue to collect it at that time, I think the price of wool will rise like crazy immediately. ”

Shopkeeper Zhang shook his head at this time: "Impossible!" At that time, there should have been no wool to sell in Liao! ”

Chen Yuan waved his hand lightly: "Shopkeeper Zhang is wrong, the Liao people still have wool, they can buy it, they can buy wool from the hands of the Dang Xiang and the Mongols to sell it to us." ”

As he spoke, he picked up two other handfuls of wool: "These two handfuls are the wool from the Dangxiang and Uighurs in the west, and the sheep raised by the Mongols in the north. I think that even if the party does not do business again, they will not sell us the wool they have collected at that time, and they will definitely hoard it at a price, hoping to sell it when the price is at its highest. ”

Shopkeeper Zhang immediately understood what Chen Yuan wanted to play! They have also done this kind of thing, buying low and selling high, taking advantage of the low price of grain during the autumn harvest to buy a lot, and selling it when the green and yellow are not available, and they can make a lot of money every time.

But as Chen Yuan maliciously speculated the price of a commodity, they had never tried it! It's not that they're not smart enough, it's just that one person's strength can't do this at all, and they never thought of finding a few powerful people to do it together!

At this time, they all realized that if they succeeded, this trip would be equivalent to shearing all the wool on the fat sheep of Liao! It's definitely a lucrative deal! In addition, if the party and Mongolian wool are fried, and if the Liao State wants to save the city, it must pay more money! Together, these items are definitely enough numbers to arouse their interest!

Chen Yuan saw the look in their eyes and immediately said, "Of course, what I want to remind you is that we are going to shear sheep, not to kill sheep. What's more, Liaoguo is not a sheep, and it won't do us any good to mess with it, so my plan is to turn it over and we'll stop it. Are you interested? ”

Of course those seniors are interested! All of a sudden, they felt like their mouths were full of saliva! Look at the people sitting next to you, if you really cooperate to do such a deal, you will have at least 50% of the chance of success! In the business field, the four achievements can be gambled! They were all in the excitement for a while, and began to calculate the benefits and risks.

Chen Yuan didn't say anything more, sat there and slowly drank a cup of hot tea, and then said: "Seniors, you are all experts in trading, and everyone can see the benefits and risks in this very clearly, I want to ask you to do me this favor and let me continue to play this game." When I wait until next spring, I will definitely return the money to you on time, along with principal and interest. ”

Everyone still didn't speak, and just when they were still a little hesitant, they suddenly heard Chen Shizhong shouting outside: "Big brother, the princess is here." ”

Chen Yuan smiled casually and said, "Oh, let her in." ”

Zhao Yi's arrival was completely arranged by Chen Yuan, Chen Yuan knew that these people were human spirits, and they would never scatter eagles if they didn't see rabbits, and if they didn't let them see how much the princess supported them, they wouldn't be so happy to take out the money!

There are some words, Zhao Yi said them once, and they are more effective than saying them ten times by himself, this is a matter of identity!

When Zhao Yi walked into the room, he shouted at the door: "Shimei." ”

Chen Yuan opened the door through a crack: "What's the matter?" How can you come out today? ”

When everyone in the house saw Zhao Yi's phoenix robe, they hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "The grass people have seen the princess Chitose!" ”

Zhao Yi looked at them with every eye and waved his hand: "Okay, get up, this is not in the palace." By the way, Shimei, today I came out by going to Xiangguo Temple to worship the Buddha, my father said that I won't be allowed to come out again before I am admitted to the fame, you don't feel at ease to read, what are you doing with these people? ”

Chen Yuan smiled: "These are some seniors I admire, this time I want to do something and need some money, so I asked these seniors to help." ”

Zhao Yi's tone was very disapproving: "You can read the book with peace of mind, how much does it cost, you can tell me, I will ask my father if he wants to come." ”

Chen Yuan shook his head: "How could I ask for a woman's money?" You wait for me in the house for a while, and I will accompany you to Xiangguoji Temple as soon as I finish talking about the matter. ”

Zhao Yi said softly: "Okay, you hurry up." ”

Turning around, Chen Yuan suddenly had a trace of helplessness on his face: "Everyone, you have all seen it, this is also the reason why I want to play this trip, although I am about to marry a princess, in the eyes of others, I am not worried about eating and drinking and glorifying my ancestors, but I don't want to spend women's money in the future." Let's put it this way, I hope that when I marry the princess, if her dowry is 100,000, my family property will be 200,000! We're all men, and you seniors know that, right? ”

Zhao Yi's appearance made these people completely believe that Chen Shimei, a colt, couldn't run away, and Zhao Yi was willing to ask Renzong for money, and they didn't have to worry about losing their money!

Ma Chang patted his chest: "Brother Chen, rest assured, I will send someone to send 60,000 yuan over first, and after ten days, I will prepare 10,000 taels of silver!" Brother, I'll fry wool with you! ”
