Chapter 250: Selling Food (I)
"Xingyuan Commercial Bank sells rice at a low price, let's go, let's go to Xingyuan Commercial Bank to buy rice"
"That's right, we don't want to sell rice from them"
At this time, dozens of trailers loaded with grain drove on the national capital, all the way to Xingyuan Commercial Bank.
When the people who were protesting heard the news, they left the protest team on the spot and went to Xingyuan Commercial Bank to buy rice.
For them, joining the protests is just about being able to buy food.
Now that Xingyuan Commercial Bank has sold grain at a low price, there is no need for them to take such a big risk to do this.
There were more than 100 people left in the original marching procession, and these people were still watching, and their eyes kept looking in the direction of Xingyuan Commercial Bank.
When Fu Yin heard the news, his eyes were shocked, and the food came at the right time.
Then he looked at the rest of the people and said, "Now that the food has arrived, if any of you dare to protest and wander away, it will be regarded as a provocation to the law, and the official will take you directly to prison."
As he spoke, he gave a look to the leader of the government soldiers, and the leader of the government soldiers drew his big sword and walked in front of the people.
Seeing the boss take out his weapon, the remaining government soldiers also drew their big knives and looked at the people viciously.
Looking at this bright big knife, Lord Cheng was a little scared, and his eyes flickered.
Those people who were still hesitant ran away when they saw this posture, and only a few people like Cheng Daren were still here.
"My lord, let's go" Cheng ran away in fright, for fear of being caught.
Fu Yin stretched out his hand to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, he was almost unlucky, no, hurry up and discuss it with an adult.
"Don't worry, line up, everyone has it, and each person has a limited amount."
"Don't worry, our lord knows that there is a shortage of food in the national capital, so he bought a large amount of grain in other places, which is enough for the people of the national capital to eat for half a year."
"The boss is really a good person, a living bodhisattva"
The people sighed, fortunately, there is a good person with such a good heart as the boss in the bitter country, otherwise I don't know how many people will be starved to death.
"Sir, it's not good"
"Xingyuan Commercial Bank doesn't know where to transport dozens of truckloads of rice, I heard that it is only the first batch, and the total rice he bought is enough for everyone in the country to eat for half a year."
The housekeeper learned that Xingyuan Commercial Bank had brought food, and hurriedly ran to tell Zhong Zheng.
"What"
Zhong was shocked, the teacup in his hand fell to the ground, and the whole person was depressed.
"It's miserable, these are dead," Zhong Zhen muttered to himself, hoarding millions of rice, all of which rotted in the warehouse.
"Quick, sell the grain at a low price, how much he Xingyuan Commercial Bank sells, we will be cheaper than him," Zhong Shu hurriedly said.
Taking advantage of the fact that all the grain from Xingyuan Commercial Bank has not yet arrived, it has to be sold quickly.
"Big brother, I always feel that there is something wrong with this matter. Even if we may have miscalculated, did Debao Firm miscalculate?
Could it be that the grain was deliberately left by Xingyuan Commercial Bank to hit us, but in fact, there will definitely not be much, and it will not last for a few days"
Zhong Xiu stopped Zhong Xiu, in his opinion, it was impossible for Xingyuan Commercial Bank to find food.
It is possible that the grain sold now was hoarded before and deliberately transported to the national capital in front of the people, just to crack down on the two major commercial banks and force grain prices to fall.
"Can that food still be fake?"
"Who knows if those bags are grain, what if it's sand?
We can send someone to inquire quietly, if it is grain, then we will sell it at a low price, otherwise, then Xingyuan Commercial Bank will not be able to support it for a few days."
"Okay, just do as you say," Zhong said after a moment of contemplation.
Zhong Zhen also had doubts about the grain of Xingyuan Commercial Bank, he had already sent someone to inquire, and there was not so much surplus grain in the surrounding cities.
Ouyang Yan was also shocked, he didn't expect Guan Xin to really have the ability to reach the sky, and he actually found Mi Yuan.
You must know that many people have inquired for a long time and have not found the source of rice, and Guan Xin has brought so much rice in a few days, which is incredible.
"Inquire if there is any revision of the grain price of Changjing Commercial Bank?"
Ouyang Yan wanted to see what Zhong Zhen thought of this matter, if he revised the price, it would mean that Xingyuan Commercial Bank really had food.
"Big brother, you are really amazing, I sent someone to inquire for a long time, but I didn't find food, you actually found it in a few days"
Guan Bao said happily, looking at the warehouse full of rice, there is still a lot of rice behind, and now Xingyuan Commercial Bank has been saved.
"Take a good look at what's in here," Guan Xin said with a smile.
Guan Bao picked up a knife and cut open the bag outside, and the sand fell directly to the ground.
His pupils shrank, but he didn't expect it to be sand.
Guan Bao thought for a while and said: "Big brother deliberately did this, just to make them mistakenly think that we have food, so as to sell food at a low price."
"That's right, they have too much grain in their hands, and if they don't sell it at a low price, it's going to rot in the warehouse.
In a few months, the autumn grain will arrive, and then the grain in their hands will become stale grain, and the old grain will become moldy. ”
How could they spend so much money?"
"Big brother is amazing, he actually thought of this good way" Guan Bao suddenly realized.
"It's not that I'm powerful, it's the four princes who are strategizing" Guan Xin didn't expect that Yun Xuan was so powerful, as if everything that happened in the national capital was under Yun Xuan's control.
The fourth prince, Guan Bao's eyes were deep, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
As night fell, a figure like a spirit monkey came in easily, and then cautiously did not dare to make a sound.
The man in black slashed open the rice bag with his knife, and the yellow sand and gravel flowed out, and then the man in black disappeared as if he had not appeared.
"Hahaha, this old fox, almost deceived him"
Knowing that Xingyuan Commercial Bank used sand to fill rice, Zhong was very happy, it seems that Xingyuan Commercial Bank is desperate, otherwise it would not use this method.
Zhong Zhen asked the housekeeper to tell Ouyang Yan the news, so as not to make a mess and sell grain at a low price.
A ray of sunlight pierced through the early morning fog and cast onto the gravel path. Beside the winding path, there are many trees and grass.
"Everyone line up, our lord has transferred a large amount of grain from other places, more than the same as mountains, we will sell grain normally these days, and we will sell it at a reduced price, four cents a catty"
"Okay, great, thanks to the boss"
"Brother Guan, I Zhong admire you" Zhong came to Xingyuan Commercial Bank early in the morning.
"Why do you say that" You must know that Guan Xin and Zhong Shu have always been at odds with each other, and it is rare to hear this sentence in Zhong Shu's mouth.
"There is a great flood in the south, and food is already scarce, but I didn't expect that Brother Guan would have the people in mind at this time and sell grain at a low price, isn't it admirable."
"It is precisely because of the scarcity of food that the people need food, so I sell it at a low price to ensure that everyone has food and does not starve to death."
Guan Xin looked at Zhong Xin, and came over early in the morning to laugh at himself.
"You and I are a businessman, not a saint, the year of famine is a good day for you and me to get rich, why should my brother be stupid?"
"Food is different from other goods, if there are other goods, maybe I will take the opportunity to make a profit, food is a daily necessity for the people, how can the price rise"
"Brother Guan is righteous, Zhong admires someone, I really want to find out how long the food in Brother Guan's hand can last" After speaking, Zhong was ashamed and left.
Just after Zhong Shu left, the housekeeper hurriedly came over and said, "Master, someone entered the warehouse without permission last night and opened the rice bag, and I suspect that someone found the secret in the bag."
Guan Xin's eyes narrowed, no wonder Zhong Cheng ran over early in the morning, and his feelings were that he knew his last move.
Calmly said: "It's okay, it's going on as usual".
"Fourth prince, it's up to you" Guan Xin looked into the distance and muttered to himself.
"Don't sell grain these days, we'll be selling it in three days," Zhong Zhi ordered back to the trading house.
"Master, Lord Fu Yin sent someone and said to let you go over" The next person came over and said.
"Let's go down"
"I'll go to Fuyin, you should pay more attention to the affairs of the commercial bank"
Zhong Zhen's eyes were cold, and he was going to find Fu Yin today to ask for an explanation, and he didn't let Zhong Hai come back after so many days.
Soon, Zhong Shu left Changjing Commercial Bank in a carriage and went to Fu Yin.
"Hello, is Boss Zhong of Changjing Commercial Bank here?"
Half an hour later, Yun Xuan put on a mask of deception and turned into a merchant and came to Changjing Commercial Bank.
"You are?" The housekeeper was puzzled, and this person was born.
"I'm here to do business with Boss Zhong, I don't know if he's not there," Yun Xuan said with a smile.
"The master is not here, the second master is in the firm"
"As long as someone can call the shots," Yun Xuan followed behind the housekeeper and went to meet Zhong Xiu for a while.
"Are you looking for anything from me" Zhong Xiu looked at Yun Xuan.
"I have a business here, I don't know if Boss Zhong is interested"
"Tell me about it"
"I have grain worth 100,000 taels in my hand, and I want to sell it to Boss Zhong, it's not expensive, 150,000 taels is enough," Yun Xuan said with a smile.
"100,000 taels of grain, sell me 150,000 taels, you are really greedy" Zhong Xiu was stunned, he didn't expect this person to be so direct, and he came up and quoted the low price.
"No, compared to your firm, this price is not expensive at all.
If I hadn't had an urgent need to leave the capital, I would never have sold this batch of grain cheaply, and it would take me three days.
There will be no grain in Xingyuan Commercial Bank, and when the time comes, the grain in the national capital will be decided by the two of you."
"130,000 taels of silver, I want it" Zhong Xiu was calm on the surface, but in fact, there were huge waves in his heart, how could this person know that Xingyuan Commercial Bank had no food for three days.
"I do business, I don't like to play false, 150,000 pennies can't be less, I believe the other two firms will be more interested"
"Okay, 150,000 taels, but I want all the food you have"
Zhong Xiu concluded that Yun Xuan still had more food in his hands, and businessmen always kept one hand in their hands.
"Boss Zhong is refreshing, I thought that Changjing Commercial Bank had no other people besides Zhong Zheng, it seems that I was lonely and unheard."
"I have 180,000 yuan of grain in my hand, and I will give you all 250,000 yuan, how about it?"
Zhong Xiu frowned, he didn't expect this person to have so much food in his hands, it seems that there are many people hoarding food this time.
"Deal, Butler"
"Second master, what's the matter?" asked the butler.
"Go and take 250,000 taels from the account to this gentleman"
"Second master, this is too much, do you want to discuss it with the master?"
The housekeeper frowned, he spent more than 100,000 yuan to buy rice and grain last time, and although he has made some money by buying food in the past few days, it only adds up to more than 300,000 taels.
This time he had to take 250,000 taels, which surprised the butler.
"Hehe," Yun Xuan sneered.
"Go quickly, big brother is no more, I am in charge of everything in the firm" Hearing Yun Xuan's ridicule, Zhong Xiu was furious.
"Yes" The housekeeper is just a subordinate in the end, how dare he not listen to Zhong Xiu's words.
"I don't know what this son is called" Zhong Xiu was very curious, whether it was the grain in this person's hand, or he knew that Xingyuan Commercial Bank had no grain to sell.
"A single name, a Xuanzi"
Then Yun Xuan chatted with Zhong Xiu, and when the money arrived, Yun Xuan left Changjing Commercial Bank.
