Chapter 143: The Truth Revealed
At last......
The Emperor of the Apocalypse Fu case.
That's the answer.
However, the Emperor of the Apocalypse was not in a hurry, he looked at a eunuch casually and said, "Go, give Zhang Qing's family a seat." ”
He gave the order.
Wei Zhongxian, who was standing aside, hurriedly took the brocade pier.
Zhang Jingyi sat down unceremoniously.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse stared at Zhang Jing: "What strategy did you use?" It is easy to raise the price of grain, but it is so difficult to fall. I thought of a lot of possibilities. Maybe you have already left a sum of grain and sold it at this time? Still is...... In fact, there are many people in this grain merchant who are arranged by you, and they should cooperate with you inside and outside? ”
This is the only way the Emperor of the Apocalypse can think of a few.
Zhang Jing couldn't help but smile, shook his head and said, "What Your Majesty has raised is all a conspiracy. ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse blushed and said, "If you can reduce the price of grain, no matter what means he has, if you can help the common people, it is a good deed." ”
"Having said that...... Zhang Jingyi said seriously: "But the conspiracy is just a strategy of a few people in the dark room, and it is impossible to do these things by this method, because it is very simple, any conspiracy requires that it is interlocking, requiring every step to step on the point, requiring everyone to act according to the plan, and if there is no secret, it cannot be completed." Anyone who drops the chain can't finish it. How can such a big thing be accomplished by conspiracy? ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse chewed Zhang Jingyi's words carefully and felt quite reasonable.
So he said, "In this way, you are not using a scheme. ”
Zhang Jingyi said very calmly: "The lowly uses a yang scheme!" ”
"Yangmou?"
Zhang Jing said: "The advantage of Yangmou is that you only need to build momentum, as long as the general trend has been achieved, whether others know it or not, you have to obediently follow the trend." ”
"Okay, I'm listening, I want to hear what your conspiracy is?" The Emperor of the Apocalypse said with interest.
Wei Zhongxian couldn't help but cheer up, and he didn't mean anything else, he just wanted to learn.
Zhang Jing said: "Your Majesty still remembers the time when you sold grain at a high price?" ”
Wei Zhongxian's face couldn't help but twitch at this time, are you embarrassed to say this?
The Emperor of the Apocalypse was curious, and nodded like a chicken pecking rice.
Zhang Jingyi continued: "These grains were paid on credit at the lowest price, but in the end they were sold at more than ten times the price. ”
Hearing this, the Emperor of the Apocalypse couldn't help but show envious eyes.
Zhang Jingyi said bitterly: "Actually, where do you want to make money, money is something outside the body, if you don't bring death and don't take it away, what's the use of keeping so much money." Do this...... It's for Your Majesty and the common people......"
Wei Zhongxian was in good spirits now, and he suddenly found that Zhang Jingyi was not without something to learn.
This should be noted.
Zhang Jingyi continued: "Dare to ask Your Majesty, if a person's family claims to have a lot of money, even if his family's assets are ten thousand taels of silver, then ...... How much cash can he come up with? ”
These words turned the Emperor of the Apocalypse down.
Zhang Jingyi didn't seem to expect the Emperor of the Apocalypse, who had been in the deep palace for a long time, to answer, so he quickly said: "The so-called family wealth is thousand, in fact, the vast majority of people can come up with a thousand taels of silver, it is not bad. ”
This is true, worth and cash are two different concepts.
Zhang Jingyi said again: "Your Majesty uses the cheapest, even hundreds of thousands of stone grains on credit, and suddenly puts them on the market, Your Majesty thinks, what will it cause?" ”
"I know." Emperor Apocalypse said: "Of course, the price of grain has plummeted. ”
"Right...... Not right either. Zhang Jingyi said with a smile: "At that time, the price of grain, fueled by grain merchants, had reached a high level, and at this time, ...... There are two possibilities for the grain merchants to suddenly start selling, that is, the grain merchants let it go, but if they let it go, then they will be miserable, because they have already bought a lot of grain at a high price, and if the grain price starts to fall at will, they will suffer the most. ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse's eyes widened slightly, and he couldn't help but nod his head all the time.
Zhang Jingyi: "So it is expected that in order to maintain the price of food, they will definitely try their best, such as ...... Sweeping. After all, everyone knows that there is a great drought in Guanzhong, and there is room for grain prices to rise in the future, so why not eat all the lowly grain and continue to wait for the value-added? ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse immediately said, "Yes, if I were a grain merchant, I would do the same. ”
Zhang Jing said: "But...... As far as the grain merchants are concerned, there is another problem: in order to ensure that grain prices continue to rise in order to consolidate their interests, they have to eat a large amount of grain, and at the same time build momentum and create an atmosphere of rise, where will they get the money to buy grain? After all...... This was originally seven dollars of silver, but it was only an IOU of grain sold wildly, they want to eat, but they need to take out a dozen taels of silver to buy a stone, do they have so much cash on hand? ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse was stunned: "No? ”
Zhang Jingyi said with a smile: "Of course, some people have cash on hand, and they can buy as much grain as they have as much cash." ”
Zhang Jingyi then said: "But some people are different, they are more greedy, since they have decided that the price of grain will skyrocket, then the grain he eats for 1,000 taels of silver today can be exchanged for 2,000 taels of silver in a few months." But if they only earn this thousand taels of silver, will they be willing? ”
"Naturally, there will be some people who will want to use 10,000 taels of silver to eat these grains, and in the future, this 10,000 taels of silver will become 20,000 taels. But they don't have any cash on hand, so ...... How can I make a huge profit? ”
Wei Zhongxian, who could listen attentively, subconsciously interjected beside him: "Loan." ”
Zhang Jingyi couldn't help but give him a thumbs up, and praised him without hesitation: "Brother Wei is really smart. ”
Be extremely intelligent......
Wei Zhongxian: "......"
At this time, Zhang Jingyi said with a straight face: "Therefore, they have to borrow, they don't need all the grain merchants who buy grain to borrow, they only need some people to take risks." ”
At this time, the Emperor of the Apocalypse couldn't help but ask, "What if you borrow?" ”
Zhang Jingyi: "The mentality of people who are in debt and people who are not in debt are different, and the people who are in debt can be compared to leverage, that is, they use a small amount of their own funds to raise more funds." These people who operate leverage are actually the general trend of despicability, because they are in debt, so they are extremely sensitive to any wind and grass in the market. Because ordinary people who hoard grain, if there is a possibility of a slight price reduction, even if it is a loss, but the grain is still in their granary, it is a big deal to continue to hoard, and then sell it at a good price in the future. ”
"Therefore, even if these people have loosened food prices, it is absolutely impossible for them to sell their grain in a panic because of some rumors or the possibility of future price reductions."
"The general trend of despicability, that is, these people who borrow money to buy grain, their ability to resist risks is extremely low, and the wind and grass of food prices may make them bankrupt, they are outlaws who lick blood at the tip of the knife, but where there are interests, they will bet on their own lives, but once the market fluctuates, they are also the most popular people in the market, and if there is a little movement, they will want to cut meat and escape."
"Your Majesty first wanted to take advantage of the sale of high grain prices to create a large number of borrowed grain merchants, and then when the price of grain rose to a high level, he asked His Majesty to see the sweet potatoes and release false bad news. These messages ...... Reasonable people may dismiss it, because in their opinion, it is not a big deal, it is a big deal to hoard food. But for those who borrow money to buy grain, they not only need to spend a lot of money to hoard grain, but also need to pay high interest, once they realize that the future price of grain has lost its attractive prospects, and there may even be a huge risk of holding, then it is bound to ...... There will be a sell-off to recoup the losses. ”
When the Emperor of the Apocalypse heard this, he didn't seem to understand, but he understood the general meaning, and he was dumbfounded for a while: "It turns out that this grain merchant still has such a difference." ”
Zhang Jingyi said with a smile: "These borrowed grain merchants are mixed with other grain merchants, and once they start to sell secretly, there will be more and more grain on the market. Of course, other grain merchants can also carry out the original operation, that is, continue to sweep the goods, just as they did with the lowly in the first place. It's just a pity...... This method can be used once, but not a second time. Because they had not much money left when they swept away the lowly grain, and at this time, in the face of the higher price of grain on the market, what could they use to eat it on a large scale! ”
"The final result, Your Majesty also saw it, many people are quietly selling, while other grain merchants, although they have the psychological need to maintain grain prices, are powerless, they can only see that the market is flooded with a large amount of grain. At last...... Prices start to fall, and once they fall, more people will start to panic, because once everyone realizes that tomorrow's food will be lower than today's, naturally, they will also find a way to sell the food they have at hand. The more people sell, the more buyers are rare, in order to recover the loss, the only way is to continue to sell at a lower price, and finally form a trampling, that is, ...... Whoever sells his grain slowly will die! ”
"This is no longer those grain merchants who borrow money to sell desperately, because the general trend has been achieved, that is, those who have no debts and have hoarded a large amount of grain at home, but they also have to immediately cut their meat to protect themselves.
"Now, as far as I know, not only are all the grain merchants trying to sell their grain, but even the gentry who have hoarded some grain in their granaries on weekdays are also trying to find a way to sell it while the grain can be sold for a few dollars! Your Majesty, now the entire capital has been flooded with grain. ”
