Chapter Twenty-Eight: A Crazy World
Chapter Twenty-Eight: A Crazy World
This day, in the unraveling, is a crazy day.
He couldn't imagine how he could use two million taels to win two and a half million taels of goods.
Is it because of the early payment here?
Is it because this method of selling at a low price can really reduce costs?
Xie Lun didn't know. I just feel like my head is full of mush.
I don't understand, what's going on in front of you?
It's just that he doesn't know what is in front of him? The real madness is yet to come.
On the second day, Xie Lun also presided over the booking of various goods.
In fact, Xie Lun doesn't think there will be many people to book.
Just think about it and you understand. Most of them are not readily available. What's the use of putting a large sum of gold and silver here in advance? There is also a cost to funding. Where to put it does not make money. Even if you really want to use it. When there is stock in the second half of the year, you can't just sell it directly.
It's just that the above commanded it. He just does things.
Before he came to the Silver Trumpet, there was already a sea of people outside the Silver Trumpet.
To tell the truth, although many of these shopkeepers are housekeepers, the prime minister's concierge and seven-rank officials can be called masters in many places in the Ming Dynasty. The living, sitting and lying are also very exquisite, although their status in each family may not be as high as Yang Zhen in front of He Xi. But they have a lot of private wealth in their hands.
Even taller than Yang Zhen.
He Xi said to Yang Zhen that according to the current professional managers, they have a basic salary, plus fixed stocks. There are dividends. But it's all on the surface. Privately, the most outstanding bookkeepers in the world are He Xi's students. Yang Zhen didn't dare to do anything, after all, Wan Liang Jia's private business, no matter what era the Ming and Qing dynasties were, could be regarded as a rich family.
And other prefectures, naturally, do not have such good treatment. I can't stop making money privately. Even some heads of the house are acquiescing in this kind of thing. It was as if the emperor had acquiesced in the corruption of officials. Let them find the money themselves, and when they are really nervous in the house, they can kill one.
After all, he is a domestic slave, and life and death are tied to the house.
Normally, these people are surrounded by people who are waiting for them.
But at this moment, they were all crowded at the door of the silver trumpet, and there was no sense of decency at all.
When the secret becomes an open secret, these people are under a lot of pressure.
Chen Zuxiao is a person who understands. He found that the Japanese market in Korea did not fit well with his family's business. It's not very useful. So simply gave up. This is also the business territory of the Lu family, which was almost created by Chen Zuxiao. And Lu Zhongheng was very convinced of He Xi, and did many things, such as the treatment of the big shopkeeper. Chen Zuxiao is in front of Lu Zhongheng, naturally he does not have Yang Zhen's status in front of He Xi, but he is definitely not a house slave. There is decision-making power in many things.
Therefore, he can give up on this matter.
But the others are different.
If you didn't know before, don't worry. It's hard to say anything if you miss it. But, everybody knows. In the future, someone will grab this opportunity and make a windfall. How do they explain to the backers behind them? Everyone is in the same circle. Why can they do it, but you can't?
It's like taking an exam.
For the students themselves, they can accept whatever they do in the exam. But for parents, this is not the case. An involution is formed.
So, they fought hard for this opportunity.
Even if you know you can't compete, you have to make a good posture. Explain to the backers behind me how I missed the first place. It's as if students just have the right excuses. For example, if you really study weekdays, and you don't do well in the test, your parents can also be considerate, if you haven't worked hard before, you won't be able to do well in the test. That's a matter of attitude.
When a lot of things escalate to an attitude problem, it's serious.
These shopkeepers can't afford it.
So, it's okay to think about it, or it's okay not to want to. All have to make a gesture. How to do the gesture? That's it.
Xie Lun didn't know these inside information, and there were information barriers between circles. Although this news is already an open secret of these maritime circles. However, Xie Lun does not belong to this circle, and he does not know what is happening.
However, he has good ability.
He had thought that he would sit inside and receive them one by one. Just release as much as you want.
Seeing the current situation, he immediately learned and applied it, and came according to yesterday's arrangement. It's just that from competing for the highest price, to the lowest price.
After some arrangement.
Xie Lun's first shot was linen, 10,000 horses per order.
In Xie Lun's incredible eyes. Someone offered a sky-high price of 1,500 taels.
You must know that a few days ago, the stock of these linen cloths was only 62.6 million horses. That is, one penny and one horse.
Now, all of a sudden, the price has increased by 50 percent.
Yes. Although the previous price was low, it was regarded as an opening reward, but in Xie Lun's eyes, these linen cloths were definitely not worth the price of a penny and a horse. It's fine cotton, with low-end silk at the price point too.
Salap is sackcloth after all. There is no way to compare with cotton cloth in terms of warmth, and there is no way to compare with silk in terms of delicate, smooth and breathable. This sackcloth is good, though. But at most, it is the middle market, the overseas market. It is not easy to sell in the Ming Dynasty.
In Xie Lun's view, one money two, one money three, is already a sky-high price. It is necessary to know that the bulk goods, a little higher, the total price is much higher.
Xie Lun couldn't understand it at all.
He could only continue the auction without thinking.
However, this list is much more fragmented than when purchasing.
When purchasing, you need to choose a merchant with a large order. If you don't have the strength, don't come to join in the fun. And there are more goods, and it is easy to lower the price. But it's different when I bought the auction. The smaller the list, the more people are involved. Better out more goods.
However, in this way, it will inevitably be much slower.
I didn't finish filming until noon.
Xie Lun announced a temporary break. Continue after lunch.
Xie Lun ate at the Silver Trumpet. It's just that as soon as he picked up his rice bowl, someone came to the door. Not someone else. It was Fang Chengyun.
The two exchanged a few words. Fang Chengyun got straight to the point. said: "I don't know your number, how to borrow." ”
"Borrowing?" Xie Lun was a little confused.
After the establishment of the silver number, although it had this function, it did not lend a big son. For the common people, this is the official mansion, the yamen, and it is unattainable. Moreover, most of the people in Liaodong do not have the habit of borrowing.
In general, there are still relatively few merchants in Liaodong.
And the merchants borrowed money. They are all used to borrowing in their own circles.
This is the reason for the formation of the Ming and Qing merchant gangs. Even later generations of Wenzhou people still have this habit. Waiting for leisure will not come at all. Plus, there is no propaganda at all, and many people don't know about it. Xie Lun also heard Fang Chengyun ask, and then remembered this matter.
Xie Lun said: "Yes. 3% per annum. ”
Don't feel high. This is already very low. After all, in this era, there are too many donkeys to borrow money, and once you borrow money, it will not be finished for a lifetime, which is the norm.
He Xi established a silver account, which is actually a bank. Although it is not yet systematic. But He Xi wanted to finance industrial development. Provide capital, not earn that little bit of usury interest. So, he pressed the interest rate to a shocking low in this era.
This is also the reason why He Xi did not publicize it.
Because there are too many people's interests in usury, even if Zhu Yuanzhang strictly prohibits it, it still can't be changed. There are too many places to move now, and the loan sharks will be released first. But now it's okay to use it.
When Fang Chengyun heard this interest, he couldn't believe it, and said, "Seriously." ”
Xie Lun said: "This is a piece of kindness from Lord He. Nature is serious. ”
Fang Chengyun originally wanted to borrow 100,000 taels, but at this moment, he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, and said, "I'll borrow 500,000 taels." ”
Xie Lun was taken aback and said, "Seriously." ”
Fang Chengyun said: "Naturally, I am the son of Fang Guan, and I can represent the entire Fang family." The Fang family's property at sea is still 500,000 taels. ”
Xie Lun naturally knows. There is only one problem, and that is that there is no money in the silver account. Although there is some money, in fact all of them are already these maritime merchants. It's just that they didn't take it away. After all, hundreds of thousands of taels and millions of taels of silver are also very heavy. Niuzhuang is the safest place in the silver number.
Xie Lun wanted to refuse, but suddenly remembered what He Xi had said. Someone borrowed money and asked him to report it, so he said, "I want to ask for advice on this matter." ”
