Chapter 756: The Routine of Doing Business
Lin Luoyao didn't like the things they bought back at all, these things were not high-grade at all in her eyes, she was also a young lady of the family, and the vision of these two was really not good compared to her.
But she was happy that they still had her in their hearts.
It's been three days, and it's about the same time.
After they came back, Lin Luoyao told them to rest early, because tomorrow they had to go to the grain market again.
As for Qiu Yuling and Nangong Li, they don't have to go, Nangong Li and Qiu Yuling have made an appointment to learn cooking with her tomorrow. Although Nangong Li can cook tea, etiquette and music, she can't do this, she is sensitive and studious, and her learning is endless. She also wants to learn, Lou Yun has cooked for her, and she also wants Lou Yun to taste her craftsmanship. It's just that Miao Yin taught her a lot of things, but cooking didn't teach her.
Lin Luoyao and Lou Yun came to the grain market.
In the past few days, Lou Yun has become the focus of Yangzhou City, I don't know how many eyes are staring at him, including his tour of the mountains and rivers in the past few days, they are all watching, everyone sighs that Lou Yun's beauty is not shallow, in addition to Miss Lin, there are two beauties to accompany him.
But the most important thing is to see if Lou Yun has left Yangzhou.
Lin Luoyao's high-profile play in the past few days is because of this, she wants this group of people to know that Lou Yun has not left, and she is preparing for today's things when she closes her door in the past few days.
There were many shopkeepers who circled around Lou Yun, and they all asked Lou Yun to go to him to see the rice grain.
Because they all saw the business opportunity of Lou Yun this time, 30,000 stone of grain, although it was a drop in the bucket for the victims, but it was a big business for them.
The money shopkeeper earned at least nearly 10,000 taels of silver from Lou Yun's body.
Suddenly so much rice appeared, Lou Yun was a little surprised. Although Lou Yun was a little stunned, he seemed to understand something.
He admires Lin Luoyao very much in his heart now, and he has learned the art of vertical and horizontal shutting Lou Yun, and he understands how Lin Luoyao calculates.
Lin Luoyao asked Chang Shuo to take them to the banquet before in order to spread his reputation and let everyone know him, and then came to the grain store to tell everyone the purpose of the trip, and then went out to see if he had bought it, and strained them first.
Then go to the money shopkeeper to buy a batch of grain, so that these merchants feel that it is profitable, they will buy in large quantities, and then the goods will die on the ground, and there will be more goods here, so naturally they will not be able to sell at a price. At that time, the initiative will be in Lou Yun's hands.
Lou Yun still understands the truth that scarcity is expensive, there is more rice, so that the price of rice will come down, and when the time comes, they will turn around and go back to buy, and it will be much cheaper.
Lou Yun looked at the girl beside him, although Lou Yun reacted, but it was too late, why couldn't he think of this idea. Lin Luoyao is too smart.
The money shopkeeper was lying on a rocking chair, and then holding a purple sand teapot and drinking tea.
Then his buddy came to report to him: "The shopkeeper, as expected, the owner of the Qiu Zhuang is really here again." ”
After hearing this, the money shopkeeper sat up.
A smile tugged at the corner of his mouth. As he expected. This kid surnamed Qiu really has two hits, and he can think of this method very well, if it is an ordinary businessman, he may really fall for him, and then buy a large number of them, and then people will be swordsmen and I will be fish and meat, and the seller's market will become a buyer's market. The initiative flows into the hands of the buyer.
Yes, it is indeed a good strategy, but the money shopkeeper is not an ordinary businessman, although his business is not as big as the Lin family, but he is also an old fox who has been in the business world for many years.
Lin Luoyao once said that no one who is in business is a fool.
Naturally, the money shopkeeper is not, and he is also the biggest grain merchant here.
What is the biggest? The biggest is the monopoly, and the grain merchants here listen to him, and he is the president of the grain store.
The money shopkeeper muttered: "Yes, let out the wind first, and then let everyone stock up on a large number of goods, and then after the supply is sufficient, press the price to buy, and the goods will die on the ground, and how much money will be sold." This is indeed a good method, but the hairy little cub is the hairy little cub, this trick was used by the old man many years ago, and now he wants to use this trick to deal with the old man? ”
"It is said that businessmen bully and dominate the market, and today the old man will let you see what it means to bully and dominate the market. You little dolls are still a little tender. Since it is a business, then honestly do business for the old man and use these crooked brains. Hugh blames the old man for being ruthless. ”
At the beginning, it was indeed as Lou Yun expected, the merchants saw that it was profitable, and they did start to buy goods from all over the country, and they also knew the transaction price of Lou Yun and the money shopkeeper, and as long as the purchase price and various costs were lower than this price, even if they only made ten yuan, they wanted it.
But the money shopkeeper stepped in.
Just yesterday, when Lou Yun took Nangong Li and Qiu Yuling to play, the shopkeeper invited all the shopkeepers in the grain store to gather in the banquet building.
For the sake of Lou Yun, the money shopkeeper talked about this truth to the grain merchants and grain merchants there, and everyone felt that the money shopkeeper was right. But there are already many people who have already stocked up on the goods, just waiting for Lou Yun to buy them.
The money shopkeeper used his identity as the president of the grain bank to unify the price, no matter where Lou Yun went to buy grain, they were all the same price. Only in this way will everyone's interests not be damaged, in short, it is better to destroy them on the spot than to sell them cheaply.
Because this will not be able to maintain everyone's profits, as businessmen they all understand this truth, the money shopkeeper is right, if the price is suppressed by Lou Yun, then if the grain in all parts of the south of the Yangtze River is harvested again, then the price of grain will plummet, and the price of grain may not rise for three or five years, so their interests will suffer huge losses.
A simple analogy is that one stone of grain, which used to sell for 500 wen, and later sold for 400 wen, or even 300 wen. The merchants knew how much silver was missing. If food prices fall, they won't be able to go up in three or five years. At that time, it will not be the current amount of silver. If the price is not reduced, the most one or two will not be able to operate. But if the price is pressed down by Lou Yun, the profit in it cannot be maintained, and then it will not be one person who will lose, but all of them.
The entire market could collapse, or even be widely implicated, which is why monopolies would rather destroy their goods and throw them away than sell them to the poor at a reduced price. It is also to safeguard the interests of the merchants themselves. and even the interests of businessmen in other industries.
Businessmen are like this, and a qualified businessman should only have interests in his eyes. If you have good thoughts and hearts for the people, such a person is only a good person, but not a businessman.
The four words "no treacherous business" are not said in vain.
