Chapter 20 Middlemen make the difference
It is impossible to calculate how much money should be charged for helping people change their lives.
But the Wen family is really reliable, the two of them came to the door with half a bucket of grain, and the Wen family was just surprised and didn't react much. When I heard that I would ask his family to escort him back and forth, and pay for one liter of rice, the Wen family immediately agreed.
In these days, money can't buy food, who is against food?
Wen Chuan secretly pulled Wei Ming's clothes, "Have you found your uncle?" The food he gave you? ”
Cui Zhi also heard it on the side, and Xindao just took this opportunity to take out the rhetoric, so he said, "Yes! My uncle-in-law is the steward of the Cui family, and the Cui family is a big family, and when he heard that the villagers had salt in their hands but had no money or food, he was kind and said that if the villagers were willing, they could exchange salt for food! However, this matter cannot be spread more, and the Cui family's food is also fixed, first come, first served. ”
She deliberately didn't lower her voice, Wen Chuan's eldest brother Wen Ren and second brother Wen Xin heard it, and came over and asked, "Is this true?" How much grain can a pound of salt be exchanged for? ”
Cui Zhi smiled with flowers on his face, "One pound of salt for three liters of rice, or rice every other year, not old rice!" ”
Cui Zhi is calculated.
No matter what price the Sheng family and the rich Anqiu family traded grain, she finally had to lower the price of rice in Laizhou, that is, eight dollars per bucket of rice. According to the calculation of three coins for one pound of salt, one pound of salt is synthesized into three liters of seven and five spoons.
She is not a profiteer, so she exchanged salt with the people at the transaction price of the rich Anqiu and the Sheng family, and a bucket of rice was ten yuan, so a pound of salt was exchanged for three liters of rice!
Like the Wei family, remove the salt used to wash the old rice, and there is a pound of surplus salt, you can exchange it for three liters of rice, which is still the best Yangzhou rice every other year, enough for two people to eat for half a month, not to mention, the quality is still guaranteed.
This kind of business is only available to the rich, and now many people have it!
She felt like a great good person!
What's more important is that every pound of salt she pours, she can get seven and five spoonfuls of rice, according to the Sheng family's fifty stone rice every other year, if she can trade it all, she can get ten stones, half of which will be given to Wei Ming, and nearly five stones! The synthetic market price is nearly fifty taels!
That's quite impressive!
What can't you do with money?
She couldn't hide her smile from smugness.
The Wen family discussed it with a few glances. Their family has nearly two catties of surplus salt, and it's useless to keep it, so wouldn't it be good to change it for rice to eat?
The eldest brother Wen Ren hurriedly said: "We also have salt at home, can we change it?" ”
"Yes! First come, first served! ”
As soon as Cui Zhi saw that this algorithm came out, business came to the door, and he couldn't be happier, and he was happy, when he heard Wei Ming's voice behind him.
"Cui Zhi, come over here."
Hey?
Cui Zhi walked over, "What's the matter with you?" ”
Wei Ming looked down at her, "Are you going to exchange Anqiu's rice price for salt?" ”
"Yes!" Cui Zhi saw that his expression was unknown, and thought that he was worried that he would not be able to negotiate the price in the Sheng family at that time, and said, "On the Sheng family's side, I can be frightened by the mysterious Cui Qiye, and the price will definitely come down!" The price of grain in Laizhou will only get lower day by day, and after a few days, it will drop to seven yuan, and it will not be easy for us to talk to the Sheng family about eight yuan? Don't worry, we can't lose! ”
After she said this, she thought that Wei Ming had no objections, who knew that he suddenly said: "In that case, why do you exchange the price of ten yuan for rice?" ”
"Huh?" Cui Zhi was stunned, "What, what do you mean?" ”
After asking, seeing Wei Ming's serious expression, he suddenly understood.
"You don't want me to exchange salt with them for eight cents, do you?" She asked, and seeing that Wei Ming didn't open his mouth to deny it, she was stunned and said, "Don't be funny, Lord Wei!" I'm a middleman, and I want to make the difference! ”
Wei Ming frowned slightly. In his impression, most businessmen are treacherous and calculating, even if there are officials who are under pressure, they also have policies and countermeasures, but on the surface, they do not directly call to make the difference.
Originally, he thought that this kind of trade without capital should benefit the people who made the capital, and it was already excellent for them to get some benefits in it, but he didn't expect her to make a pound of salt and make the difference between two dollars of silver, which really surprised him.
It's just that she's so reasonable, but it makes him want to hear what she thinks.
"You say." He said.
Cui Zhi was so angry that his mouth was crooked, "What did I say?" You, Lord Wei, are letting me do it in vain! By doing this, you are going to break the hearts of the vast number of small traders and hawkers! Who will be in business in the future? If you don't do business, your people won't even have enough to eat. ”
She clutched her chest, as if he had given her a shot, and looked very funny.
But Wei Ming didn't have time to laugh, she said two sentences later, which did make some sense.
Businessmen seek profits, but also bring convenience, if they do not give them the benefits they deserve, they will naturally not run before and after the hard work, the so-called convenience is impossible to talk about.
Wei Ming thought about it, and listened to her say again: "Can you raise your noble hand and give me some way to live?" Although the first pound of salt belonged to yours, the idea was what I thought, right? You can't hegemonist power politics! ”
Hegemony...... Power...... How did you get to this? He's not a cool official.
Wei Ming couldn't help but shake his head, seeing her pitiful and oppressed appearance, he said, "Don't you want to share fifty-fifty with me?" ”
"Yes!" She shouted, "I don't make much money in the first place, and I still have to share it with you!" We've got to talk about it, and I've got to tell you about the importance of being a businessman......"
Wei Ming saw that she was looking for branches all over the ground, and asked him to sit down to discuss with him in the long run, and then saw that the Wen family was listening with their ears pricked up, so he had to stop her, "Regardless of that number of things, I have thought about what you said, it makes sense." ”
He is so good at talking, beyond Cui Zhi's cognition.
In ancient times, Cui Zhi, who valued agriculture and light businessmen, knew it, and the scholar class looked down on businessmen the most, some of them were so poor that they were not in the company of businessmen, she really didn't expect that Wei Ming would be explained in a few words, and she thought that she would talk to him for three days and three nights!
"Lord Wei, do you understand? I'm not riding on the people's necks to suck blood, I'm giving them blood! Just look at the Wen family's reaction! ”
Wei Ming nodded, but said, "Let's drop one penny, according to nine coins." ”
Cui Zhi thought that he had figured it out, he was trying to bargain with her for a long time, and she was like a profiteer, and he Wei Ming was like a righteous man!
Cui Zhi was still trying to persuade him, but when he saw him, he opened his mouth again, "The penny dropped is on my head, and you don't have to share the account with me." ”
"Huh?"
Cui Zhi was taken aback, in this way, she didn't earn any less!
She looked Wei Ming up and down with her mouth slugging, looked at it for a long time, and then clenched her fists, "You Lord Wei are righteous, let the people benefit!" Admire, admire! ”
She admired it and smiled, "I'm a market vendor, so I won't compete with you for fame and fortune, I'll just earn some food and clothing!" Then let's start with the Wen family! ”
Wei Ming saw the appearance of a little mouse stealing oil from her face again.
She said that she was a market vendor, but Wei Ming felt that it was not, she had a lot of insights in her mind, and he didn't even have a person like an official residence.
