Nanyang

On this day, Ji Wuyin and Zhang Xian met, and the two sides signed an agreement, which was hidden from Zuo Anmin.

Since receiving the secret letter from Liaodong County, Zhang Xian has not been inactive.

He has sent a secret back to Chang'an, and made a military order to the emperor, he is responsible for restoring the livelihood of Nanyang, so as to get the power of Nanyang to be the master.

After the two sides signed the agreement, Zhang Xian said politely, "There will be a big show of Lao Ji next." ”

"Well, let's encourage each other." Ji Wuyin looked at Zhang Xian friendly, these are all his own people.

In the Yuzhou Grain Chamber of Commerce, the atmosphere was condensed.

I can't imagine what happened to them in the past seven days.

Starting from the sell-off of low-priced grain in Luoyang, Runan followed up the next day. Every day, they unilaterally sold 10,000 stone more grain than the day before. For example, Luoyang threw 10,000 stones on the first day, 20,000 stones on the second day, and 30,000 stones on the third day. Runan followed up from the next day, and the amount of grain sold was compared with the day before in Luoyang.

On the fourth day, Luoyang seemed to find that their eating speed was slow, so they did not continue to increase the amount of input, and continued to maintain the amount of 30,000 stones per day. On the Runan side, the pace is surprisingly consistent with that of Luoyang, and the daily amount is set at 20,000 stones.

At first, they were happy, thinking that the other party did not have much food.

It didn't take long for them to know that they had guessed wrong.

Because from the fourth day, Luoyang released 30,000 stone of grain every day, and Runan was 20,000 stone. Stabilize 50,000 stone of grain every day, put it on time and on time, for four consecutive days, stable as this, where does it look like there is not much food?

People are obviously considerate of them, but they are afraid that they will not be able to cope with it if they put too much at once.

In just seven days, they ate 180,000 stone of grain thrown from Luoyang and 110,000 stone thrown by Runan, a total of 290,000 stone of grain, and cost nearly 700,000 taels!

At present, there are only 100,000 taels of silver left in the entire grain merchant chamber of commerce.

In order to extract more benefits in the next scraping operation, they had already exchanged the silver in their hands for more grain, and there was not much cash in the first place.

The emergency fund of 800,000 taels was thought to be enough. Half a month, 800,000 taels, isn't it enough?

If they have experienced the future, they will know that Luoyang's move is a smashing plate.

You pull up, I smash the plate.

At the beginning, the Yuzhou Grain Merchants Chamber of Commerce thought that they had a lot of chips and wanted to pull up the price limit, and then ship them to the people of Nanyang at a high level.

But they were sniped, and someone was smashing the plate all the time.

If there is a smashing plate, the price is not up to them, so they can only keep eating chips.

The other party keeps shipping goods to them, squeezing their existing positions.

When their positions are full, and there is no active capital in the future, they will be very passive.

At this time, Che Jiuming had a gloomy face, it was clear that it had been determined from the beginning that there was not much disaster relief food brought by Zhang Xian, and because the court had other concerns, the follow-up support was basically cut off. He just decided to make a move, and now, who is ruining his good deeds?

But no matter who it is, the current situation is very unfavorable to the entire grain merchant chamber of commerce.

Che Jiuming looked around and said, "Everyone has seen that the current situation is very unfavorable for us. ”

The members of the Grain Merchants Chamber of Commerce looked at each other.

"But I believe that the other party must also be at the end of the crossbow, where did they get so much food, right?"

"This time, as long as we work together, we will come up with another sum of money, get together, and continue to eat the grain in Luoyang Runan, which will definitely be able to hollow them out and achieve our goal of controlling the price of grain in Nanyang."

The outlook is promising, but the responders are scarce.

"The president is right, it's the darkness before dawn, it's good to get through this hurdle, and everyone should work together to tide over the difficulties. And this time, so many of us set up a joint action of the grain merchant association, if it fails, I will ask you if you will be slapped in the face? ”

The others chimed in, "yes, yes, everyone has to do it this time." ”

"Meizi Mountain, Shan Tianxing, Zhou Beicheng, what do you say? How much more money can you come up with? Cha Jiuming ordered a few silent members.

Mei Zishan wailed and cried poor, "President, I'm just a small grain merchant, and I really can't come up with any money." ”

Don't look at Che Jiuming's prospect so well, but is this really the case?

Shan Tianxing: "Yes, President, my whole net worth is also at this time. ”

Che Jiuming's face was gloomy, and he was angry in his heart, he was really a group of cowardly and inadequate guys!

But on the face, he gave them a very gentle idea, "Everyone has relatives and friends, right?" The relationship with the big money bank is not bad, right? Can't you borrow something for emergencies? ”

Mei Zishan said reluctantly, "I'll try my best." ”

Che Jiuming said earnestly, "You have to think clearly, the money you invest now can be doubled in the future." ”

The members of the Grain Merchants Chamber of Commerce present had different thoughts, so that they could take out the funds to eat the grain? The few who were named shook their heads like rattles in their hearts.

Now, they have all the grain in their hands, and they have no silver to go, and they are panicking.

The point is, they don't know how much food the other party still has in their hands!

If the other party has enough food, and the food only goes in and out, they will be strung to death.

Moreover, the grain is not tolerant and poorly preserved, and it will become moldy and insect-like. It is very realistic that in the coming year, this year's new grain will become old grain and cannot be sold at a high price.

It's too risky to keep throwing money! As a businessman, buying and selling is buying and selling, and if you lose money this time, you can earn it back next time. They don't want to be overwhelmed.

Now they don't want to quit or something, but at least they don't want to throw any more money into it. As for what to do next, they need to wait and see, maybe Che Jiuming, the president, has the ability to turn the tide?

In the end, Che Jiuming said, "Let's go back and think about it, let's just miss this last trembling, think about it, after so long of hard work, we can't let it be in vain, right?" And he let them go.

Che Jiuming can't help it, they are now riding a tiger.

Next, it's about who is stronger.

Meizishan and Zhou Beicheng were on the same road, so they walked together.

Mei Zishan arrived home first, and as soon as his carriage and horse stopped, Zhou Beicheng also stopped.

When Mei Zishan saw him like this, he knew that he had something to say, so he invited him in.

After the two entered the Mei family's tearoom, they waved off their subordinates, and Zhou Beicheng asked directly, "Brother Mei, what do you think about President Che asking us to raise funds again?" ”

The friendship between the two is not bad, so Mei Zishan's answer is quite frank, "The enemy is menacing, the water in Nanyang is too deep, and I don't want to go deeper in this muddy water." ”

Zhou Beicheng understood, which meant that he would not take out the money again.

In this regard, he was not surprised, Mei Zishan was timid, not so determined, and ran faster than a rabbit when there was a storm.
