Chapter 158 Locust Commercial Street
Qingzhou City, the locust pilot, is in full swing.
Commercial streets, special snacks, locust products, all kinds of novelties have appeared in Qingzhou City.
Many Qingzhou locals feel that locusts, a poisonous thing, were suddenly hyped up overnight, and large restaurants, food streets, and small stalls and vendors are all selling locusts, which is quite a feeling of suddenly coming like a spring breeze overnight, and thousands of trees and pear blossoms.
Li Jiusan's (dog's) locust business is very easy.
From the booklet given by the big man, he learned a lot of knowledge and methods of doing business.
Through his own efforts, he successfully sold the locusts and partnered with others to start the street direct sales business.
Qingzhou City is so hot that many businessmen smell business opportunities.
They began to investigate the reason, and when they understood that this was a transaction endorsed by the imperial court, their eyes were full of gold, and the value of locusts near Qingzhou City was inflated.
As long as you spend a little money, you can collect a large number of locusts, pull them to Qingzhou City, and sell them, which is a lot of profits, which is extremely considerable.
If you can open a restaurant, rent a shop, and produce and sell your own business, your income can increase several times.
This discovery made the merchants red-eyed, and they began to start a relationship, and began to go to the fields and small county towns that were not well-informed to collect locusts in large quantities.
This situation also surprised many poor people who were farming in the fields, and gradually they discovered that locusts are not only pests, but also can be eaten and sold for money.
This discovery greatly stimulated the interest of the people in catching locusts.
It can increase income, protect crops, and catch locusts, killing two birds with one stone.
Under the leadership of village chiefs, patriarchs, and families, locust hunting activities have arisen in various places.
For a time, the whole Qingzhou was in turmoil.
The eldest princess Huaizhen looked at the collected information, a smile appeared on her face, and said: "Zhou Shoufu, it seems that everything is going well, according to this situation, in a few months, the locust plague in Qingzhou can be solved." ”
"Zhou Zhenwen" shook his head slightly: "Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, the fiery hype can only stir up emotions for a while, when the mood reaches its peak, it will show a downward trend, the current Qingzhou City, does it really have such a large consumption power to support the locusts in the entire Qingzhou?" ”
"Zhou Shoufu, do you mean extremely prosperous and declining?" The eldest princess Huaizhen is a smart person, and she immediately understood the meaning of Zhou Zhenwen's words.
"Not bad."
"Zhou Zhenwen" sighed: "This business plan, there is a big problem, that is, the problem of digesting locusts, the first step, through the endorsement of the imperial court and local officials, coupled with the promotion of the family, the commercial street, locust vendors are in full swing, can build a false prosperity in the short term, so that businessmen rush to ......"
"However, after the boom, there will be a surplus of locusts, and if the excess locusts cannot be consumed, it will lead to a plummeting in prices, which will lead to a chain reaction, so that the locust meals on the market will lose their value, and once the locusts lose their value, then this farce will come to an end."
The eldest princess Huaizhen's expression also became serious, and she frowned and asked; "Will it lose its value so soon?"
"Originally, this game could be played for half a month, but the urging of the family and the merchant shortened the game time by ......," Zhou Zhenwen explained.
"So what do we do now?" The eldest princess Huaizhen also understands the seriousness of the matter, once the value of locusts plummets, the locust game endorsed by the imperial court will come to an end, and the industries related to it will become garbage.
The locusts that are caught will become worthless waste in an instant.
All the previous efforts will be wasted and in vain.
"Now that the game has entered the countdown, you can't let the game end so soon......"
"Zhou Zhenwen" smiled slightly, and said a little mysteriously: "Let's add pounds to them!" ”
"Add pounds?"
The eldest princess Huaizhen thought about it slightly, and she was a little enlightened, but she didn't say anything about it.
After the eldest princess Huaizhen left, Xiao Si asked, "Is she suspicious?" ”
"There shouldn't be, these contents are all on the blue bag, and they are more in line with the words of adults." Shangguan Yu said calmly.
"I didn't expect it to go so smoothly...... It's really a bit unexpected......" Xiao Si looked serious and muttered: "It's still because the market is too small, coupled with the efforts of the family and merchants, resulting in oversupply." ”
"My lord said that once there is an oversupply, the market will quickly deteriorate, and in today's situation, we must stabilize the market and let everyone play."
"What's your mind?"
Shangguan Yu looked at the face of "Zhou Zhenwen" and said: "Since the supply exceeds demand, let the market be in short supply, start hoarding locusts in large quantities, buy a large number of locusts from the people, and make the price high!" Let the price of locusts catch up with copper ore! ”
"It turns out that this is what adults call pound ......" Xiao Si nodded knowingly, "In this way, the market will become tight again, which will make many businessmen wait for the price to sell, which will exacerbate the deterioration of the market." ”
"My lord said, when the price of locusts exceeds the price of copper ore, start to sell slowly, and at the same time stabilize the price, if someone sells locusts in large quantities, continue to eat, continue to make high prices, and let the price of locusts fly to the sky!!" Shangguan Yu said.
"The number of locusts is so large, the people can catch a lot of locusts, if the price is too high, once it is difficult to trade in the end, we will lose a lot." Xiao Si said softly.
"This business, of course, can't be done by us, the money is inexhaustible, and we need to share profits in order to be stable, send invitations to the largest families in Qingzhou, and tell them that I will invite them to dinner in Qingyun Building."
"This deal, of course, has to be done with several major families, make money, everyone is happy to make money together!!" "Zhou Zhenwen" smiled slightly and spread his hands.
"Got it." Xiao Si didn't talk nonsense, nodded his head, and left the room.
......
Gongsun's house, study.
"What?"
"Eat again?"
Gongsun Wuji listened to the advice of his subordinates, looked at the invitation on the table, and his face was a little not good-looking.
The son Gongsun Zhi asked in a low voice, "Father, is there any problem?" ”
"Last time Zhou Zhenwen invited a guest to dinner, I didn't eat the delicacies of the mountains and seas, and I ate a stomach full of locusts, do you think there is a problem?" Gongsun Wuji said angrily.
"Forehead......" Gongsun Zhi's face stiffened, and he muttered: "Then this Lord Zhou, his behavior is really a bit eclectic......
"It's not just eclectic, it's just whimsical and cranky!"
"It's fanciful to want to use locusts as food and sell them as bestsellers." Gongsun Wuji waved his hand and motioned for his subordinates to go down first.
"But it turns out that the locusts are selling well!"
"The child sees that the whole Qingzhou City is extremely hot, and it does have the potential to become a popular snack." Gongsun Zhi said softly.
"Fart!!" Gongsun Wuji slapped the table and shouted, "Do you really think this prosperity is real? It's just hype!! ”
"A thing, if you want to become a hit, if you want to sell well, what you need is a long reputation and management, a short period of hype, can only give birth to a short-term life of hot products, and when the timeliness passes, this thing is garbage, and it is disgusted to be hard when it is toilet paper in the thatched house, do you really think this Zhou Zhenwen is here to make money?"
"He has a task on his body, and controlling locusts is the first task, making money, that's just incidental."
"Commercializing locusts is his means of controlling locusts, and once most of the locusts are eliminated, he will shoot this commercial street to death with his backhand, so that this farce will end."
"All the merchants involved in it will become funeral goods."
