Chapter 113 Don't take things on yourself
Su Renli had to hurry, but the others were hesitant. Life was not easy for each family. No one could have thought that the court would enthrone the Liao Kingdom Shiyi. They all thought that they could escape safely, but now it seems that the Cai family had no intention of accompanying them.
Wang Xun hesitated and looked at Su Renli and said, "How did Brother Su talk with Mei Niang? Could it be that we would not give up the interests of Jinbo this year?"
Su Renli secretly hated that he bought pony brocade from the government. Even if the price was a little higher when buying pony this year, as long as he was transported to Liao Kingdom, he would definitely make a fortune. Each company was willing to give out all the amount of pony they bought. If it was too much, it would be lies, and it would be fine if he made a million yuan.
The court enfeoffed the Liao Kingdom, but this does not mean that the Liao Kingdom does not need brocade and silk, and all the young and old do not believe that the Cai family is unable to deliver goods to the Liao Kingdom.
When Su Renli thought of the benefits he had to give and the losses he was about to suffer, he felt inexplicably annoyed.
"How did you talk about it...you saw it too! That little bitch just wanted to beat us all to death!"
Su Renli looked at the hesitant merchants and gritted his teeth and said, "The court has imprisoned Liao Kingdom Shiyi, and Liao Kingdom will definitely be angry. Even if Shiyi is imprisoned, it will never last long. At most, three or two months, it is likely that Shiyi will be opened tomorrow. Are you willing to lose countless losses? "
Sun Sui frowned and said, "The money we are waiting for is not blowing from the strong wind. It is becoming increasingly difficult for salt to buy pony. Who is willing to continue to lose money? But... But the price of this brocade is gone one day. Even if it is open to Liao, merchants in the world will compete for each other. No one can guarantee where the price of Liao will fall?"
Everyone in the room was worried. As Sun Sui said, the price of brocade and silk would not be reduced. If the market is normal, it would be fine. Once the market is closed, there will inevitably be countless merchants and bees heading north, and the competition between each other will be extremely fierce.
Everyone was worried that when someone was about to withdraw, Su Renli suddenly stood up, looked at people one by one, and gritted his teeth and said, "The Cai family purchased Jinbo at a higher price than the market, and has become our enemy. I believe you should know one thing. The Cai family can sell Jinbo to Liao by sea. Once he collected Jinbo on the market, once the goods were sold to Liao first, our goods were all in the hands. I think no one would be willing to do this. Now there is only one way, only to buy all Jinbo on the market. Only this way, no matter when the imperial court starts, we can sell it at a high price. Now it is 30% lower than in previous years. As long as we buy Jinbo on the market, we will not only not lose, but also increase the profit by 30%!"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and never expected Su Renli to say such words.
Su Renli gritted his teeth and said, "The entire Song Dynasty produced more than 4 million kilograms of clean silk every year, and Suzhou and Hangzhou produced two million. Now we have purchased one million kilograms. Just need another 100,000 kilograms per company to purchase all the entire Suzhou and Hangzhou clean silk."
"Each company has 100,000 yuan in three months. Not only will it not lose money, but it will earn 30% of the profits than in previous years. What do you think?"
Everyone looked at me, I looked at you, and they were silent for a long time, and the whole house was just barely silenced.
"Since everyone agrees with this matter, let's discuss together how each company should purchase it separately."
Wang Xun spoke, and the hall suddenly became a vegetable market. Su Renli felt relieved, but he was quarreling with others and his face turned red and his neck was thick, trying his best to prevent the Su family from continuing to spend money to buy brocade.
...
Su Renli contacted major merchants in Suzhou and Hangzhou. More than ten merchants could not stop swallowing the cooked silk and brocade on the market. The price of cooked silk that was originally less than 800 ounces per pound rose to more than 900 ounces in just one or two months, and it was about to reach the price of cooked silk last year.
A good mulberry field can produce twenty kilograms of cooked silk, and a great difference is the silk brocade produced by twenty kilograms of cooked silk. A good piece of silk requires eight kilograms of cooked silk, and only about one kilogram of lower-quality brocade. In addition to the weaver, dyes, cattle and horse transportation costs, the best silk also requires at least ten jin of silver, and this is just the purchase price given by Cai Yan.
When news was flying all over the world and more than ten major merchants in Suzhou and Hangzhou kept raising prices, the people of Suzhou and Hangzhou were hesitant and waited and watched. The prices of cooked silk and brocade were also slowly rising. However, in the next half month, in Fuguang, Lianghu, Sichuan and Sichuan silk merchants transported bags of cooked silk into Suzhou and Hangzhou, the prices of cooked silk and brocade began to slowly fall, swaying around 900 cents.
Everything that happened in Suzhou and Hangzhou seemed to have nothing to do with the Cai Mansion. After the price of cooked silk exceeded 850 cents, the Cai Mansion posted another notice, ending the acquisition of cooked silk and brocade silk. In the past two months, the Cai Mansion has not purchased a total of 10,000 kilograms of cooked silk.
The hustle and bustle outside had nothing to do with Cai Yan. At this time, he was sitting alone in the study, and was sitting on the ground fiddling with a pile of stones, smashing them one by one with a small hammer, making them covered in dust.
"Bangbang."
The door sounded lightly.
"Come in."
The door was pushed open, and Gu Qinniang walked in with a stack of paper in her arms. Cai Huang still didn't look up and was still knocking on the stone "ding Ding Ding Dangdang".
Seeing this scene, Gu Qinniang shook her head inexplicably and placed the paper on his desk. Then she walked closer to him and watched him knocking on the stones. She didn't care much about the child's nonsense and playfulness, but said, "The mountain may be disappointed, and the price of Jinbo has increased by a little."
Cai Yan gathered the broken stone powder one by one, and said without raising his head, "Looking at every military class, you didn't understand what military strategy is."
Gu Qinniang frowned and said, "Buy low and sell high, shouldn't it be the purpose of merchants to make profits?"
Cai Yan patted the dust on his little hand, pointed to the basin of the water in the corner, Gu Qinniang helped him bring it to him and smiled and said, "Do you want to wash it for you?"
Cai Yan gave her a blank look and said, "Capitalists... are people who have mastered a lot of money and capital. It is normal for capitalists to pursue profits, but don't forget that the chief of the mountain is not a capitalist, and his purpose is naturally not just profit."
Gu Qinniang frowned and said, "Two months ago, the price of brocade rose twice in a row. It is indeed a good thing for the people, but I just think something is wrong."
Cai Yan couldn't help but grin, wiping his palms, and laughed, "You will understand slowly."
Cai Yan looked undeniable and picked up the paper he sent to read carefully. Seeing that Gu Qinniang saw that he was like this, she didn't say much, but just poured him a cup of tea.
"I handed over the chores in the school to Sister Dongmei. When you are fine, just give Mr. Guo some tricks. No matter what your identity is before, once you participate in the compilation of the verbal scriptures and have a name on the verbal scriptures, even if the official knows your identity, you will never be troubled. If a female gentleman participates in it, the descendants may envy this era. "
Gu Qinniang was silent for a moment and held her fist and bowed.
"Qin Niang thanked the mountains for their long love."
...
Cai Yan looked up at her. Although he had seen many beauties in his previous life, he also felt that the woman in front of him looked good and his temperament was lukewarm. Looking at the woman in Double Ten, he was silent for a moment, and opened his mouth and sighed again.
"A pretty good woman. When she is free, she goes to the flower building to exchange poems and essays. There are still many young talents there."
Gu Qinniang looked at him strangely and said, "Is Xiaoshan Chang willing to let Qinniang go?"
From "mountain leader" to "mountain leader", Cai Yan shook his head in his heart and said without comment: "Remember, you are Gu Qinniang, not Zhang Ying'er. The past things have passed, and even men can't do things. If you are a woman, don't take things that cannot be dealt with."
...
There was a silence in the room. Cai Yan looked through the paper in his hand silently, and after a while, he suddenly spoke.
"This is the case in a person's life. Find a man he likes, have two cute babies, play the piano and teach. This kind of life is also good."
Gu Qinniang nodded silently, and Cai Hua didn't say anything more. Looking at her lukewarm, she knew her stubbornness when she was in the Jiangning dungeon. She kept such a woman by her side. Cai Hua herself didn't know the reason behind her, whether it was for Lu Tao, for Manichi, or for the sake of her, or hoped that there would be a friend around her who could speak.
It sounds funny. The two of them don’t look like friends no matter how they look, but sometimes Cai Yan just thinks that the tepid woman looks more like friends.
Maybe Cai Huang is just an illusion, or maybe he is relatively lonely in this world. He wants someone who can say something, so he doesn't have to wear a mask or scrape his stomach to explain his behavior.
