Chapter 376: Squeeze Out Positions
Yuzhou, Luoyang
On the second day, Ji Wuyin ordered 20,000 stone of grain to be sold to Nanyang, and the price was still 240 wen a bucket.
The Yuzhou Grain Merchants Chamber of Commerce continued to eat.
Xie Zhan, who was in Runan, learned about it and ordered, "Follow up!" We then sold 10,000 stone of grain to Nanyang at the same price. ”
The Yuzhou Grain Merchants Chamber of Commerce reacted a little slower, and then ate it as well.
Liu Xiaohuai: "There are people over there in Runan who follow us to sell grain. ”
Ji Wuyin said, "It should be Xie Zhan, Gu Huaisheng, Lu Fei and others, don't worry about him." ”
Xie Zhan, Gu Huaisheng, Lu Fei and others couldn't leave the south quietly, let alone bring so much money and food.
The people who stayed in the south of the Ji clan had already reported their movements.
Xie Zhan and the others' move will speed up the achievement of their goal.
On the third day, Luoyang sold 30,000 stones.
Xie Zhan sold 20,000 stones in Runan.
Both sides of the Yuzhou Grain Merchants Chamber of Commerce ate in.
Ji Wuyin looked in the direction of Xuchang, "Ninety thousand stones, how much can the Yuzhou Grain Merchants Chamber of Commerce eat?" ”
Yuzhou, Xuchang
In the Grain Merchants Chamber of Commerce, Che Jiuming's face was ugly, "How could so much grain come out at once?" "Still two places!
The others also looked at each other, and in three days, they had eaten a total of 90,000 stone of grain.
For every 10,000 stone of grain, they need to spend 24,000 taels to eat. It's only been three days, and they've spent 216,000 taels, and it's only three days.
"President, if there is still food thrown out in Luoyang and Runan tomorrow, what should we do?"
A member of the Chamber of Commerce asked their most troublesome question, in order to scrape the land in Nanyang, they had all the food in their hands and not much money. I hope to realize the grain in my hand at a high price. Now they have raised the price of food, and they have become someone else's cash.
"Eat!" Che Jiuming said coldly.
The others looked at each other and had no objections. Because they know that if they don't eat, the price of food will fall, and all their hard work will be in vain.
Liaodong County, Pingguo County
Lu Songli learned that Ji Wuyin had already started to implement the plan.
Her trading plan was formulated in response to the situation in Nanyang.
In the business wars of later generations, Fan Zhongyan's eternal conspiracy and the fame battle of Zhongzhu Grain are very classic.
The former refers to the fact that when Fan Zhongyan was in charge of Hangzhou, in a disaster year, the local wealthy businessmen united to raise the price of grain. He doesn't have much food for disaster relief, and his predicament is similar to Zhang Xian's current situation.
At that time, he thought of a way to directly buy a large amount of grain from the grain merchants at a price higher than the grain merchant's price, and the rich merchants happily sold the grain to Fan Zhongyan at a higher price.
Fan Zhongyan's move attracted a lot of scolding from the people, but he did not defend himself and still collected grain at a high price.
Because of his approach, the news of the highest grain price in Hangzhou spread. In the next month, grain merchants from all over the country brought grain from all over the country, and the wharves and post stations in Hangzhou were full of ships and vehicles transporting grain, hoping to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune.
Fan Zhongyan knew that the time was ripe at a glance, and immediately decided to stop purchasing high-priced grain, and opened a warehouse to release grain, and released a large amount of free grain, so that the price of grain in Hangzhou began to plummet. At this time, if the grain merchants in various places transported the grain back, they would lose even more, and they had no choice but to sell the grain at a low price. As a result, Hangzhou's grain prices have stabilized.
Lu Songli found that Che Jiuming, president of the Grain Merchants Chamber of Commerce in Yuzhou, had brains and means.
Today, the Yuzhou Grain Merchants Chamber of Commerce has raised grain prices, but it has not caused grain merchants in many places to flock to them to grab food.
All because he set the price of a bucket of rice at 260 Wen.
This price can allow the members of the Grain Merchants Chamber of Commerce headed by Che Jiuming to earn as much profit as possible, and will not make grain merchants from all over the country flock to it. After all, grain merchants from all over the world will increase their costs and losses when they transport grain to Nanyang. The grain price of 260 wen per bucket is not attractive enough for grain merchants from other places, after all, the current grain price is not low anywhere.
After talking about Fan Zhongyan's eternal conspiracy, I have to mention the battle of fame in the grain reserves.
In fact, the battle for fame of China Grain Storage is even more exciting. In '08, foreign businessmen wanted to control China's grain market and dump grain at high prices. China and foreign countries have engaged in a game, China wants to stabilize grain prices, and constantly throws out grain reserves, while foreign businessmen keep eating Chinese grain.
Foreign businessmen thought that when they completely ate China's grain reserves, they would be in charge of China's grain prices.
However, the reserves of China's grain reserves are too inscrutable for people to ponder, and foreign businessmen cannot eat them all. In the later stage of the game, the posture of grain storage and grain throwing is still not weak. Foreign businessmen were scared and did not dare to eat food anymore.
After the failure of the foreign businessman's strategy, in order to avoid greater losses, they had to sell their grain as soon as possible at a low price. Because the central grain reserves have been selling grain and constantly lowering grain prices, if they do not sell, they will lose even more.
Foreign businessmen kept selling the grain in their hands, and the grain reserves took back the grain at a low price. This one in and one out, China Grain Reserve made a lot of money, fought a beautiful defensive battle, and became famous because of this war.
Now on the battlefield in Nanyang, if they do what Fan Zhongyan did, they can certainly solve the Nanyang problem, but wouldn't this cheapen those people from the Yuzhou Grain Merchants Chamber of Commerce? Let the people of the Yuzhou Grain Merchants Chamber of Commerce sell the grain at a high price as they wished.
In the end, it was grain merchants from all over the country who suffered.
When people see business opportunities, they travel thousands of miles to Nanyang to sell grain at a high price, what's wrong?
The trading plan formulated by Lu Songli this time is actually a comprehensive application of the essence of the two battles.
Since the grain merchants and chambers of commerce in Yuzhou have begun to raise grain prices by a large margin, it shows that the other side has completed the work of absorbing funds.
They must have hoarded a lot of grain in their hands waiting to be cashed in, so it is assumed that they did not have much silver in their hands.
Ji Wuyin sold the grain, just to force the other party to eat, take out the other party's cash, and at the same time squeeze their positions.
When all the members of the Grain Merchants Chamber of Commerce in Yuzhou were full of grain and did not have a little cash, and Nanyang was still stubbornly supporting them, and did not reach their expected state, they asked if they were panicked? There's a little bit of wind and grass in the back, tsk.
Moreover, the rich businessmen of the Grain Merchants Chamber of Commerce are not monolithic, as long as they use the right methods, they can always tear a hole.
Even if the operation fails and the plan is not as expected, then the silver they get from selling grain at a high price of 240 yuan is always real, right? It's a big deal to buy grain from other places with silver and transport it to Nanyang, and the lives of the victims can always be saved.
With the premise of being able to get to the bottom of things, the next thing is done.
