Chapter 31: Another Kind of Circuit Breaker
Li Xingjiu, Pu Guatai and Ale hurried to Yanhui Building, and immediately reported to Li Propanol, who was waiting for news here, and after listening to it, Li Propanol's legs and stomach began to tremble.
What now? That's a big question.
If he had the opportunity to sell Snow Lotus now, Li Propanol would definitely not stumble in half, even if it was sold at a price of 25 taels each, no, at a price of 20 taels of silver per flower, he would be happy to do it! As for the original planned shipping price of 40 taels per flower, to hell with it.
But can he get out?
In addition to the nearly 2,000 snow lotuses eaten today, the hoarding of goods in the hands of several people has reached 16,000 flowers, and if such a large batch of snow lotus wants to be shipped at a high price, don't even think about it without two months! This is still the ideal effect that can only be achieved under the condition of the bulk auction of Jinbo Auction House, if it is sold normally in a pharmacy, and wait for three or five years.
Faced with the predicament in front of him, Li Bingol thought for a while and said: "If you want to hold the price, 20,000 silver is definitely not enough, my father told my uncle that there will be 100,000 silver in the follow-up, as long as we survive for more than half a month, we can maintain the price of Snow Lotus." In half a month, it's only five or six auctions, even if the price falls, we can make it rise again!"
Li Xingjiu's eyes lit up, and he suddenly said: "Can Erlang let the people think of a way to make the auction house temporarily close? As long as it stops for half a month, won't we have a silver trust market? The owner of this auction house, Cheng'an, is said to be a wealthy businessman from the Ming Dynasty, and Ming Xia was originally an enemy country, so it is already magnanimous for us to let him come over to earn silver, and now that he has something to ask him for help, will he dare to shirk it?"
When Li Bingol heard this, he suddenly woke up like a dream, he patted Li Xingjiu's shoulder and laughed: "Lao Li is good, why did he suddenly become alert? If he can survive this level, Lao Li should be credited!"
Puguatai and Ale, the two wealthy businessmen in Yinzhou, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and they still have to rely on the powerful to do business, once there is anything wrong, they can immediately force you back!
Regardless of the merits of this strategy, as far as the strategy itself is concerned, it shows that until now, the Li family has not figured out who their opponent is, why the price of Snow Lotus has fallen, and they have not even figured out whether there is an opponent.
But it's no wonder, after all, the concept of hype is the thinking benefit brought by Zhao Ran's crossing, and the Li family can react to the huge profits contained in it for the first time, and apply what he has learned to hype Snow Lotus, which is actually quite astute.
It's just that Li only saw the huge benefits, but did not understand the huge risks he took, so he put himself on the crater.
The second summer auction did not take place as scheduled, and early in the morning of the previous day, Gao Yanei and Yeli Huaide came together and blocked Zhao Ran, who was walking in the garden.
"Late yesterday night, Fei Tingqingxia came to visit my father in my house, hoping that Kaifeng Mansion would issue an official document to let Jinbo Auction House close for a while. Gao Yanei said with a solemn face.
Zhao Ran was stunned: "Which Fei Tingqingxia?" The foundation of the Western Xia Dynasty is the eight party departments, Fei Ting's is one of them, there are no less than hundreds of thousands of men surnamed Fei Ting in the entire country, and the name Qingxia is very ordinary, and there are six or seven Fei Tingqingxia who are officials in the court.
Yeli Huaide explained with a calm face: "Fei Listen to the Imperial History Terrace, Imperial History Zhongcheng." ”
This is a big man, not only in the central high position, in charge of the imperial platform, but also the hereditary lord of the Great Ding Lu (the party nobles have a total of eight ranks, the big Ding Lu is the third class, and the two lords of Mo Ning Ling and Ning Ling are exclusive to the Tuoba clan of the royal family), and have a huge influence in the entire Fei Ting clan.
Hearing that it was this old guy, Zhao Ran couldn't help but be surprised: "Fei Ting's family has fallen to the royal family?"
Don't look at Zhao Ran, who has only been in Xixia for more than half a year, but because of the opening of the Jinbo Club, the people who deal with him all day long are the nobles of Xingqing Mansion such as Gao Yanei, Yeli Huaide, Gule Buhun and the like, although they can't say everything about the political trends in the country, they can also be called eight and nine.
More than 600 years since the founding of the Western Xia, the imperial power has been held by the royal family and the descendants for a long time, sometimes the royal family is stronger, and sometimes the descendants hold the political authority.
The royal family is the Tuoba clan, the first part of the party, and after the founding of the country, he claimed to be the descendant of Li Tang, so his surname was Li.
The later clan is the Liang clan, a large clan in the Central Plains brought over after Buddhism moved westward, and the Gao clan who is attached to the Liang clan. For example, Gao Yanei, Liang Xingxia and others are typical descendants.
Although the descendants are strong, they are far from being comparable to the Tuoba clan, the largest clan in the party. In order to consolidate their power, the Hou clan had to choose to ally with the other seven tribes, among which the Yeli family, where Yeli Huaide was located, and the Fang Dangjia, where Gule Buhun was located, were both hardcore allies of the Hou clan, while the Fei Tingjia chose neutrality.
Today, last year finally turned 16 years old, according to the convention, the current Empress Dowager Liang should return the big policy to the small lord Li Qianshun, this matter is indeed in full swing preparations, so there is a change of "Zhenguan".
But returning to power is only a superficial effort, and whether it can really be achieved is something that everyone is waiting to see. After all, Empress Dowager Liang is only thirty-four years old this year, which can be described as the prime of life, and judging from the effect of her previous ten years of governance, she can be regarded as wise and decisive. Even if the big government is returned to Li Qianshun, whether this small lord can do well is a big question in the hearts of the vast majority of high-ranking officials and nobles.
So the influence of the Empress Dowager Liang will definitely continue, and there will be no signs of decline for a long time.
But if Fei Tingshi chooses to throw himself into Li Qianshun, it will definitely have a huge impact on the country's politics, so there is Zhao Ran's question.
Gao Yanei shook his head: "That's not it, Fei listened to Qingxia admit that he owed Li Sheren a favor, and Li Sheren asked him for help with this matter, but he couldn't shirk it, so he came to find his father and asked his father to sell him a face no matter what." ”
Yeli Huaide was full of depression on the side, although he was fun, he was not a person who didn't know the general situation, and he knew that Fei Tingqingxia's plea this time really couldn't be refused at will, so he put on a stinky face and was sullen.
Zhao Ran asked: "What is Uncle Gao's charter?" His "uncle" shouted quite naturally, but if he knew it by changing to a dark pile that came over from the Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that he would not be ashamed to die!
In front of Yin Yanzi of Kaifeng Mansion in the Western Xia Kingdom, he called the other party's father uncle, and the dark pile was mixed to this point, what kind of level was that? You must know that the dark pile numbered Xia Si was about to be forced to climb over the wall and pick the lock by his livelihood!
"My father asked me to ask what you mean, do you want to accept it when you see it? If you agree, you will pay for Qingxia's experience, and my Gao family will always compensate you for your loss. "The profits on Snow Lotus have already been mostly realized by several people, and there is no loss. Gao Ya Nei Yun compensation refers to the handling fee charged by the auction house for the closure of business.
Zhao Ran waved his hand: "It's just a few days of closure? How long do you want to rest?"
Gao Yanei sighed: "Fei listened to Qingxia and said that he would rest for at least half a month." ”
Zhao Ran immediately nodded happily: "No problem, just use this half a month to move the auction house and bulk wholesale counter to the newly purchased East Courtyard, and there is no need for Kaifeng Mansion to issue any documents from Lao Shizi, let's use the relocation as a reason, which is justified." Yanei can tell Uncle Gao, don't say take a break for half a month, half a year will be done!"
Gao Ya was anxious: "Half a year can't be done, how much money does this have to earn!"
Zhao Ran comforted him: "Relax, these words are just open words on the surface, just to show favor to Fei Qingxia." If he really rests for half a year, Li Sheren will beg Fei Tingzhong to come to the door again, and he will raise the auction price of Snow Lotus, how can he operate without the auction house? ”
Yeli Huaide said hatefully: "It seems that the brothers of the Li family can make up enough money in half a month, but it's a pity that they have survived this hurdle." ”
"Survive this?" Zhao Ran sneered, "Originally, it was still very promising, but now it is difficult...... Let the auction house close for half a month? I don't know how to come up with this stinky move, this is because I don't think my death is ugly enough!"
Gao Yanai and Yeli Huaide listened to it in a daze, and they were puzzled.
Liang Xingxia, who didn't know when he came over, had a flash of inspiration in his mind, as if he had caught something, but after thinking about it carefully, it was still a fog. He had a strong thirst for knowledge, and immediately asked, "What do you mean by what the Cheng Dong family said?" The Li brothers have fought for half a month, and they must be able to transfer a large amount of silver......
