Chapter Ninety-Seven: Sugar
Chapter Ninety-Seven: Sugar
When the mother chooses to send people, reliability and honesty are the first, except for the waiter~ There are a few people who are directly pulled out of the old house. Perhaps, in her opinion, her son does not need those clever people who can speak well.
Cheng Jinzhou has long been dissatisfied with the servants in the other house, and as soon as the newcomers settle down, let Shi Mo manage them, and Shi Yan will still take them with him. Although the former is also a scholar, in a big house like the Cheng family, he has long known how to do housekeepers. As for the gentlemen in the other house, they were all beaten up and did chores.
Cheng Jinzhou almost didn't participate in the adjustment in the house, and only let the waiter take Meng Er around twice, and then picked a time to meet with everyone, and after two sentences of notice, he never took care of the servants in the other house. The subordinates of the capital are also subordinates, no matter how angry they are, they can't go against the sky, even if some people are dissatisfied, but they don't even have a place to cry, and they are unwilling to work. There are even those who have a deed of sale, for fear of being sold to the bitter cold land, but they are extremely well-behaved - no matter what orders their own masters have, Cheng Jinzhou wants to sell them, that is, in a word, no gentleman will stupidly jump out and say: This is my person.
Cheng Jinzhou couldn't help but sigh at this, no wonder most nobles would support a certain Cheng dΓΉ's personal restriction system, from their point of view, it would indeed make the job easier, and the fearless free people were obviously terrifying, just like the protagonist in the game who could be resurrected infinitely.
Throwing the matter of the house to Shi Mo, Cheng Jinzhou waited for the news of the Shen family, and ran to the West Wharf twice in a row, rented a warehouse again, and moved all the linen he bought. In the TV series, the more often the suspect moves the materials, it is easy to cause nostalgia, but in reality, nostalgia is often dispelled because of trouble. Who would have a broken skull, with the so-called space ring, this kind of hero will spend his whole life in a mental hospital to find secrets.
After the cloth was moved, Cheng Jinzhou came to the West Wharf again, ready to dispose of it all.
The waiter still led the horse behind Cheng Zhou, looking around curiously, even if it was a pure commercial area in the beautiful place of the capital, the people who shouted the trumpet also showed a strong vitality. Looking at the sailboats coming and going, unloading countless huge cargo, he couldn't help but let out a low cry of surprise.
Cheng Jinzhou pursed his lips and smiled, although it cannot be compared with the scale of container freight in modern terminals, it is much larger in terms of population density, and the hot work scene can give viewers more sense of substitution. Aside from war, this is almost the greatest work that the human world can mobilize for a long time.
He waved his horsewhip meaningfully and smiled: "This is the capital." β
The waiter smirked.
It is more than 2o miles away from the warehouse on the other side of the west pier. It is all a mixed civil structure. When everyone dismounted. Monta walked into the warehouse first. A standard bodyguard behavior. Cheng Jinzhou looked at the back and smiled secretly. But in my heart, of course, I hope that I am safer.
The sackcloth is stiff. It looks far less silky and soft. Touch it with your hands. There are even some stabbing people. Cheng Jinzhou looked at it and shook his head. At this time, most of the common people in this era were mainly dressed in linen. Not only is it a matter of comfort, but good breathability can make it harder to survive in winter.
sighed. He turned around and closed the door and opened the ring, and shouted, "Mr. Ke." Received. β
"Sack?" Customer service o1o is able to see the opposite scene.
Cheng Jinzhou shrugged his shoulders and said, "How do you count?" β
Yuan per horse. β
"It's strange that you still use a unit like this."
"Convenient for customers." Customer service O1 said very smoothly: "Do you want to change to tons?" β
"No, you don't." Xiao Cheng has long known that Mr. Customer Service will not propose a plan to make himself suffer. What's more, the price was a nod of approval that he had known before, and he asked with a careful eye: "Do you buy linen, regardless of the material?" β
"What you have is the cheapest sisal material, bsp; Maybe there is not only sisal in the linen, but according to the theory of customer service O11C, as long as most of it is sisal, then it is natural to calculate it according to the cheap, and he buys rice and grain.
Cheng Jinzhou suddenly said: "What you received is actually the material." So what material of linen is the most valuable? β
For the merchants of Great Xia, the price difference between different regions was very small, and most of the ups and downs were due to the relationship between supply and demand. Since it was decided a few days ago that he wanted to buy linen, he also made a little inquiry, at least he knew that there are different types of linen, ramie, jute, sisal, abaca, red hemp, etc., and for the Star Alliance, it will probably be different.
The customer service o1o did not answer positively, but said: "It depends on the type you can provide." β
"It doesn't have to be sackcloth, right? Can hemp itself be? β
"At present, it is calculated based on the price of fiber, and if there are too many other parts, the system will automatically calculate and add
and take the lowest value as the standard. β
Cheng Jinzhou pouted and said, "What about the price of ramie?" β
This is the traditional crop of the Great Xia Dynasty, with the largest planting area, and most of them are in the southwest region. Cheng Jinzhou's grandfather, the residence of the envoy of the Southern Governor of Daxia Town, is within its range. It is also the most familiar to Cheng Jinzhou, in Shaonan, most of the linen cloth people wear is made of ramie.
"It's up to the product." Customer service O1O adheres to the usual concise and concise words.
"Alright, let's trade." Cheng Jinzhou waved his hand.
horses, a total of 8124 star dollars. Really? β
"Sure." The extra linen cloth is to avoid loss in transportation and storage, but it is usually only five thousandths of the standard, and it is obvious that Mr. Zhu Lin is deliberately showing goodwill.
Looking at the three-digit display on the ring and the empty warehouse like a subway station, Cheng Jinzhou really burst into tears for 1 hour. The plundering of the world is so cruel to the world, I think that the commander of Mao had the same indignation.
After a moment of silence, Cheng Jinzhou opened the door and walked out, and instructed Shi Yan: "There is no need to keep people here, things will be sold to merchants from other places in a few days." β
In a few days, if anyone else asks, even if the linen cloth in this warehouse is sold to foreign merchants, like warehouse management in the 211th century, people can only care about the ledger most of the time, and cannot care about what is in each container.
The waiter was stunned for a moment, and then took care of Cheng Jinzhou to get on the horse, and at the same time whispered: "Third brother, you can't be known about these transactions." β
Cheng Jinzhou was dull, he knew in his heart that it was normal for nobles to buy some things occasionally, and those who sold on a large scale frequently sold them, and even simply became merchants, and they might be investigated by the Sect Affairs Department - that is a place where the title of nobility can be removed. As for letting the subordinates in the family run the business, although everyone knows it, it must be completely disconnected financially, and he has neither the right man in his hands nor the ability to organize and control it.
When I got home, my horse and boots were covered in dust. The newly sent servant immediately lay on the ground and followed Cheng Jinzhou's footsteps to clean his shoes, which somewhat made him feel like he was in Shaonan City.
The aristocratic life is like opium, you will quit when you are strong-willed, and you want to smoke it again when you are depressed......
Sitting in the warm bathtub, Jinju still chose to exchange huΓ n with a thick book, 240,000 words, a whole Xingyuan.
Then, it was a gorgeous failure, and what was displayed on the screen was a book of "Analysis of Computer Network Knowledge Points and Exercises", and there was no need to think much about giving the Great Xia Dynasty 3oo years, even if it was a computer thing, it would still not be needed.
"Do you still want to redeem huΓ n?" Customer service o1o~ asked loosely.
Cheng Jinzhou shook his head in disappointment, he originally wanted to maintain communication with the ring and said that he would get some books from the library immediately, he didn't have the luxury of expecting regular geometric optics to be able to sell for a few days. In later generations, there were hundreds of scientists who relied on this for food, and even if he chose a tenth of them, he would still be able to maintain the posture of a genius star warlock boy. What's more, he didn't have the opportunity to use the independent trading platform before, but now that he knows that Xingyuan can exchange for materials through guΓ² rings, of course he hopes to use money to make money. This is also the most normal way of thinking for modern people.
This is exactly what the redundant warehouse that was rented a few days ago is what it is for.
So, for several days, Cheng Jinzhou wandered around the West Wharf, and the merchants and shops soon knew that there was a noble son who would come to ask for a price every day. No matter what they say in private, they all welcome it on the surface. As a merchant family that the court does not value, all they can do is try not to offend anyone, who knows how many nobles are implicated behind a nobleman, generations of marriages, colleagues, and power sharing have long made the network intricate, even the most down-and-out nobleman, when he has no one to sympathize with, but if he suffers from the idleness of ordinary people, there will immediately be nobles jumping out "have relatives"......
Cheng Jinzhou still has a few hundred taels of silver left, and he can't bet it out in one go, and as for what he can buy from the Star Alliance, he is facing the problem of selling. The commercial bank of the West Wharf mainly does bulk transactions, and the commonly used materials will be directly marked with prices and hung in the inner room, Cheng Jinzhou walks around in it every day, ask to see his family today, look at yours tomorrow, anyway, if he doesn't make a move, no one will say anything.
It's like a huge merchant market, where goods from overseas, materials from the inside6 will be traded, and some of the large-scale merchants will even do some recent futures behavior - of course, people at this time do not have the concept of futures, they just use their own credibility to bind each other, so as to negotiate the price of a certain material in a certain period, and then deliver it on time.
Cheng Jinzhou was itchy when he saw it, but he couldn't be sure. For him, choosing a good merchant to trade with is only the basics, and there are many details to consider when buying and selling
Just wandering among the shops.
On the fourth day, as usual, he came to a shop with a maritime trading house, and without waiting for his fellow men, he went to the inner hall himself. The outside is just a place for ordinary customers to talk about business, and the prices of bulk items are inside. There is not only a difference in price between retail and wholesale, but also in the quantity of purchase and consumption, and the latter often achieves a balance of control through guΓ² perverted prices.
As soon as he walked into the half-hidden wooden door, he could see seven or eight people standing in it discussing affairs, although there were a few more people than on weekdays, Cheng Jinzhou didn't care, just looked at the price on the wall. Here it is usually necessary to start calculating the price from 100 tons, and in smaller shops, the materials that pass 1 have basically entered the price control stage.
Grain, tea and salt are the benchmark daily prices, with an increase of only 5 percent, proving that the overall price range is stable, and these three commodities will be the first to show fluctuations in the event of a problem in a certain region. Today's price is the normal price.
Cheng Jinzhou sighed in disappointment, he was not afraid that the world would not be chaotic, but in the price changes, the secrecy of the transaction would be greatly enhanced.
"Do you want some of Mr. Cheng?" The proprietor of the maritime firm rarely came out to talk to the guests in person, and his tone was very calm, but his body covered Cheng Jinzhou's backward vision.
It was impossible for Xiao Cheng to know the boss of every trading house, so he only glanced at him, and said, "Are the materials purchased by your bank all from maritime merchants?" β
"Only a small amount is collected from other places, and it has to be sold in the end." The proprietor's answer was quite simple. Only maritime merchants could hold hundreds of tons of goods in their hands, but in the capital, they were often the subject of prying eyes.
Cheng Jinzhou smiled and looked at the price on the wall and nodded, judging from his observations in recent days, the price of sugar is the highest, as high as 6o per catty, which is several times that of salt. The problem is that only the transaction may not be completed every time the independent trading platform is passed, and the admission ticket of 1 star yuan at a time is even more problematic, if the quantity of a purchase is too small, ~ it will be embarrassing.
However, if there are too many of them, they suddenly appear in Xia Jing without a fleet, and even if they attract attention among the maritime merchants, it is inevitable.
When Cheng Jin was undecided, a gentleman who turned around asked, "Does Mr. Cheng have any goods in his hands?" β
Seeing that there were only seven people in the room, Jin Zhou finally spoke: "I have a batch of sugar." β
"Oh, you have a boat too?" Sugar is not produced locally, and most of the sugar comes from the sea. The inquiring gentleman looked Cheng Jinzhou up and down, making a judgment.
"I have 1co~ goods. 6o ~ two silver per ton" Cheng Jinzhou was very ruthless and reported a big number, if there was no such amount, he would have to think of other ways.
"Is your goods in the area?" The other party doesn't seem to be touched by this number, indeed, a sailboat can carry 2o~:, if it is a sea ship, the load 2oo~: is also a breeze, 1 is just a small scale.
However, maritime transactions attach great importance to the source of goods, and before the supply of goods arrives, they will have to take great risks when they take over.
Cheng Jinzhou nodded and said, "It's already in this district." β
Because of his height, when he spoke, his eyes involuntarily looked at the other party's waist, but he saw a belt inlaid with jade.
"Aristocrats?" He immediately asked. Only nobles could inlay jade on their belts. Jade is a gentleman, and businessmen are not allowed to wear jade on their clothes, otherwise it will be a crime.
The proprietor of the firm suddenly became nervous, looked back, and was instructed to explain: "Mr. Cheng, this is the director of the Xijing Sea Commercial Bank, Lord Xu Tao. β
Cheng Jinzhou nodded and said hello, and finally understood why there were more people in the inner hall than usual, and there were still ** people blocking him.
A lord is the lowest nobleman and is not hereditary. But because of this, the nobles who were able to get the lord were either extremely capable themselves, or they were favored by their powerful parents. In the early aristocratic world, it was not very discriminated against.
After a few words, I saw Shi Yan hurriedly running over, lying in his ear and saying, "Third brother, Xiang Xinxing Warlock ordered me to come to you." β
So, Cheng Jinzhou naturally walked out apologetically. He actually didn't want to trade with the nobles, trouble added to trouble, more than double trouble.
In the room, Xu Tao thoughtfully shook the wooden door and said, "You can talk to him more, and it's okay to buy and sell some things." β
The proprietor of the Beijing Commercial Bank was puzzled and said: "He is a nobleman, why should we bother with Lan." β
"It's not a problem, if I remember correctly, this is probably an astral sorcerer."
The crowd was stunned.
