Chapter 0049: Zero-Sum Game
Yun Yingsleeve smiled and said coquettishly: "Don't worry, the price I promised them is absolutely impossible to refuse, you just need to push the price of grain to the lowest price in the past five years." ”
"Far from enough, I plan to lower the price of food by another two percent on the basis of the lowest price in five years." In Zhu Chengjun's view, only by lowering grain prices to a record low can people go crazy and trigger a crazy rush of grabbing.
Yang Ying has been running a grain store for many years, and he is naturally very clear about the price of grain over the years, so he silently calculated the price of grain in his heart, and then exclaimed: "This price is already an unprecedented low price!" It's a loss-making business! ”
Ming Jing saw that Zhu Chengjun was going to let the people eat when he gave money, and she couldn't help but worry while being moved, so she persuaded softly: "How much money will you lose this time?" If the loss is more than you can bear, then it is okay not to drop 20%. ”
"Giggle......" Hearing Ming Jing's gentle and soft words to Zhu Chengjun, Yun Yingsleeve smiled and teased Ming Jing: "It turns out that Fairy Jing is still a cold-faced and hot-hearted person, are you saving money for him?" Good virtuous. ”
Yang Ying rolled her eyes at Yun Yingsleeve, and turned to Zhu Chengjun and said, "Brother Zhu, if you feel that the loss is too big, just listen to my master, then forget about it." ”
Zhu Chengjun shook his head and said, "It's okay, I can afford this loss." Immediately, Zhu Chengjun frowned, looked at Yang Ying with a pleading tone, and said, "Please don't call me 'Brother Pig', it sounds weird." ”
"Hee ......" Yang Ying couldn't help but laugh, this title did sound quite insulting.
Yun Yingsleeve was also amused by Zhu Chengjun's funny appearance at the moment, and was wondering if she should change her name to a more interesting name when facing him in the future, so as to make the relationship between the two seem closer.
"You also do loss-making trades?" Regarding the price given by Zhu Chengjun, Yun Yingsleeve always had doubts in her heart.
Zhu Chengjun pretended to have an extremely distressed expression, shook his head and sighed: "Who told us to be born kind-hearted, and we can't see ordinary people suffering a little." ”
When Ming Jing, who was like a water, saw Zhu Chengjun's strange expression, she couldn't help but cover her lips and chuckle.
Just when Zhu Chengjun was talking and laughing with the four beauties, Shen Ze happened to rush back.
As soon as Shen Ze arrived, he immediately reported the results to Zhu Chengjun, and said: "Qiyu Gongzi, the plan is going well, and sure enough, as expected by the owner, the three major grain merchants have secretly begun to slowly snap up grain stamps, and the branches of Yutai Grain Bank are making a small amount of cash delivery with the people of the three major grain merchants before I come back." If the last price reduction is completed, the subordinates conservatively estimate that at least 40% of the grain stamps issued before will be recovered through this repurchase, and even if there is a run at that time, we should be able to cope with it with our current strength. ”
Through this sell-off, Yutai Grain Bank has almost exhausted the grain in its hands. The circulation of a large number of grain stamps is always a huge hidden danger, and Zhu Chengjun's first consideration is how to try his best to avoid the foreseeable risks.
Zhu Chengjun thought for a moment and then instructed Shen Ze: "The grain stamps circulating outside are controlled at about 20%, and for those who have been holding the grain stamps and are unwilling to sell, you must find a way to let them lend us the food stamps, this time you can do it openly in the name of the Changxing ticket number, and promise them that the time limit for returning the grain stamps is four to five months, since it is a loan to pay interest, as long as they are willing to lend us it, you can pay them 10% to 20% of the interest on the spot." Regardless of whether you borrow it or not, you will notify me as soon as possible, and this matter is very important. After completing these things, Yutai Grain Bank immediately announced the last round of price cuts. ”
Shen Ze was stunned, what kind of operation is this?
The more Shen Ze listened, the more confused he became, and he bowed down and asked: "The subordinates are stupid, and I ask the owner to make it clear." ”
Zhu Chengjun patted Shen Ze on the shoulder and said, "Time is too short to tell you in detail, you go down immediately to implement it, even if you don't need me to say it, you will be able to figure it out quickly." ”
After Shen Ze left, Zhu Chengjun's face was solemn, and he exhaled a deep breath of turbidity.
"It's hard to do this?" Yun Yingsleeve felt that Zhu Chengjun seemed to be under tremendous pressure, and suddenly remembered what he said when he forcibly took away the hundreds of thousands of taels of silver from Zhu Chengjun's hand, it is really hard to make money honestly.
Zhu Chengjun replied: "If this matter can be successfully completed, all the difficulties behind it will be solved." ”
"You're delaying the war?" would rather pay a high interest rate than take back the food coupons he sent, if it weren't for the fact that there was no grain in his hand to redeem, Yang Ying knew that Zhu Chengjun would never make such a decision. When he saw Zhu Chengjun's deep face, Yang Ying couldn't help but be concerned: "If you can't successfully recover the grain stamps this time, there will really be a run on the risk at that time, just tell me that even if the Yang Grain Bank does its best, it will help you tide over the difficulties." ”
Zhu Chengjun drew a chart of the price of grain and food stamps on the black wooden board with his back to the four women, turned his head and said to Yang Ying: "If my plan can be successfully achieved, you can exchange the grain stamps I exchanged with you last time for grain, or you can transfer them at a high price before the last round of grain price reduction is released on my side." ”
The two wax histograms with diametrically opposite trends on the small black template were soon completed in Zhu Chengjun's hands, which very intuitively and clearly reflected the current market trend of grain and food stamps.
Yang Ying looked at the histogram on the blackboard and asked, "This is the price comparison between grain stamps and grain since the release of grain stamps?" I have to say that this method of recording market trends is really good. Yang Ying saw that Zhu Chengjun's eyes were always staring at the last bar chart in contemplation, and seeing Zhu Chengjun's expression, an elusive aura flashed in Yang Ying's mind, as if something bad was going to happen next.
Zhu Chengjun clasped his hands around his chest, and his eyes aimed in the direction of the staircase from time to time, hoping that Shen Ze would have news back as soon as possible.
The waiting time was the most difficult, and Zhu Chengjun felt as if time had stood still at this moment.
In the private room of a certain restaurant, the proprietors of the three major grain merchants of Qian, Sun and Tian gathered together.
Qian Dongjia glanced at Sun and Tian, who were sitting on his left and right, and asked, "How much grain do you have in your hands now?" In other words, there is still a lot of work left to make up for that much food delivery. ”
Tian Dongjia sighed and said: "The people here count that I have little food on hand, and for this transaction, my Tian family has completely emptied, and even so, the gap is still at least more than 300,000 catties." If you want to make up for this gap, you can only go to Yutai Grain Store for exchange. The two of you know that the current food stamps are really a bit too high. ”
Sun Dongjia said: "My side is not much better, even if I empty the Sun Grain Store, plus the grain stamps that can be exchanged for grain in my hand, the gap is also 200,000 catties." ”
After the owners of the three major grain merchants exchanged inventories, they found that the gap was 1.3 million catties in total, and the Qian owners stood up and said: "We were too cautious before, and we should eat a lot before the grain stamps rise, otherwise we won't ......."
Sun and Tian exchanged glances, turned to look at Qian Dongjia, and said the doubts that had been suppressed in their hearts, and said: "Yutai Grain Bank has been selling at a lower price, didn't that mysterious woman find Yutai Grain Bank to cooperate?" ”
Qian Dongjia paced back and forth a few steps, and said: "The only condition for Yutai Grain Bank to reduce the price and sell is to exchange coupons for grain, both of them know the relationship between Yutai Grain Bank and Changxing ticket number, I dare to assert that the reason why Changxing Ticket Number is so out with Yutai Grain Bank this time, its purpose is to recover grain stamps." As we all know, Changxing ticket number issued a total of 50,000 grain stamps, a total of 5 million catties of grain, with the ability of Yutai Grain Bank simply cannot afford such a huge amount of grain exchange, so today's drama will be staged. ”
"Could it be...... Our plan to deal with Yutai Grain Bank has been leaked? Sun and Tian guessed.
Qian Dongjia looked at the two of them with blazing eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Only you and I know about this matter, could it be that the two of you accidentally leaked this secret?" ”
"Never!" Sun and Tian swore an oath.
"Tuk Tuk ......" There was a slight knock on the door, and then a man dressed as a man walked in.
The young man bowed and said: "Master Qiqi, the Changxing ticket number suddenly announced to the public that it was willing to pay eighty percent interest to 'borrow' the grain stamps circulating outside. ”
"Borrow?!" Hearing this news, the three owners of Qian, Sun, and Tian couldn't help but look at each other.
Qian Dongjia was the first to react, slapped his thigh, and said, "That's true!" Qian Dongjia stared at the young man tightly and asked, "Is anyone willing to lend it?" ”
"Yes! And it's still up to dare to go. The young man was sure.
Qian Dongjia waved away the guy, and said: "It's time for us to make a move, in case Yutai Grain Store lowers the price again, the price of grain stamps will climb to a new height, and we must not be cheap for those gentlemen." ”
In this regard, Sun and Tian deeply agreed that they needed to work hard to sell the grain in order to make money, and these idle gentlemen made money by drinking flower wine, what could be more infuriating than this?
They are anxious to deliver the grain, and they dare not say how long they can hold this news, in order to avoid long nights and dreams, in case the news of their large orders leaks out, those squirting children will not have to sit on the ground and raise sky-high prices.
The orders received by the three major grain banks are not false, but they are also urgent orders, and they must be loaded and escorted before sunset today according to the date agreed in the agreement. In the past, there was a Changxing ticket number that suddenly came out to 'borrow' the food stamps, and then there were gentlemen with a large number of food stamps in their hands, and there was not much time left for them.
At the current price, they are completely profitable, because they have always believed that the price of food stamps has risen wildly, and it will never rise to the sky, so they are waiting for the moment when the price of food stamps peaks and falls, and only in this way can they make greater profits.
However, the fact in front of them is that the price of the Yutai grain store has been raised by the price of the previous moment. Counting and waiting, waiting and waiting, the price they need to pay seems to have not changed much. Although the benefits obtained are guaranteed, there is a process in this, and they will have to pay a greater price first. Even if there is enough protection for the money that has not yet been earned, it seems that it is not easy to pass the psychological hurdle to let them cut the meat first and then receive the money.
As early as before a cup of tea, Zhu Chengjun also received a report from Shen Ze.
Zhu Chengjun counted the food stamps that he 'borrowed' back, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, turned to look at Yang Ying, and said, "You can start, if you want silver or food, it's up to you." ”
Yang Ying knew that Zhongli County was about to face a food shortage, so he chose the latter without hesitation.
No matter how much money you have, you can't eat it, and in the coming situation, food is the most important thing.
Knowing Yang Ying's choice, Zhu Chengjun turned to Shen Ze and said, "After Yutai Grain Store announces the price reduction, you must arrange for Miss Yang to exchange food as soon as possible." ”
"Yes, my subordinates will go down and arrange it." Shen Ze turned to Yang Ying and hugged his fists and said, "Miss Yang, please." ”
Yang Ying gave her sister a look, Yang Ying's little girl was in the rebellious period, and she was somewhat resistant.
Ming Jing looked at the apprentice Yang Ying and said, "You go home first, the master still has some things to discuss with Zhu Gongzi." ”
After the Yang sisters and Shen Ze left, there were only Zhu Chengjun, Ming Jing, and Yun Yingsleeve in the huge second-floor hall.
Zhu Chengjun saw that the atmosphere at the scene seemed to have returned to the night when Ming Jing and Yun Yingsleeve visited at the same time, so he couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "We can still sit down and talk calmly." ”
Yun Yingsleeve glanced at Ming Jing, and then looked at Zhu Chengjun with a smile, completely two before and after, and said coquettishly: "Brother Zhu is a good means, the food does not increase or decrease, but you can take the opportunity to earn a huge fortune." ”
Zhongli County can transfer only a little bit of food, and Zhu Chengjun silently let himself get the biggest share of the benefit cake through the means of a zero-sum game.
Listening to Zhu Chengjun's business experience for such a long time, Yun Yingsleeve saw some clues. Not to mention anything else, just 'borrowing' food stamps alone is enough for Zhu Chengjun to make a lot of money.
When the price of grain stamps rises to the highest level, it will inevitably fall, and it is not a very big price to pay at a high price to 'borrow' back the food stamps, and the more the price of the grain stamps falls afterwards, the more Zhu Chengjun will earn. 'Borrowing' food stamps from other people and then selling them to the three major grain merchants at a high price is just a small trick to sell short.
Zhu Chengjun sneered: "Luck, luck......"
