"Beet? One thousand tons? Even if it's 80 yuan per kilogram, it can be sold for 80 million yuan." Fang Weiming was already shocked. He asked: "Xiaoyu, how much does your Lanfang sugar cost? You won't lose the money yourself, right?"
." Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "Don't worry, I have plenty of beets. As for the cost, one kilogram is only 20 yuan at most, and this also includes the workers' wages."
Fang Weiming asked in surprise: "What are beets?" Fang Xiaoyu explained: "Can't the sugar cane used for sugar extraction only be grown in a few counties in the south?" Fang Weiming nodded, and Fang Xiaoyu continued: "I can also press sugar beets.
Sugar, and it can be grown anywhere, and the amount of sugar produced is extremely large. It is estimated that three acres of sugar beets can produce one ton of Lanfang sugar."
"So high? Why have I never heard of this kind of crop?" Fang Weiming said in surprise. Fang Xiaoyu smiled: "This is what my nephew came from during his agricultural experiments these days." In fact, he had thought about the future as early as the beginning of making Lanfang candy.
The problem of producing raw materials by oneself is gone.
The method of making sugar by leaching yellow mud with water does not have much technological content, and even if it is not stolen by the Cheng family, it can easily be developed by others. Therefore, Fang Xiaoyu thought that starting from the source, first create cheap raw materials, and rely on the price advantage to defeat his opponents.
Now Fang Xiaoyu's most proficient area is naturally agriculture. Before planting, he focused on studying sugar beets and upgraded the sugar beets several levels.
These high-grade sugar beet varieties have very high sugar yields and are very resistant to cold, drought, diseases and insect pests. They have very low soil requirements and only take three months to harvest. According to the climate near Beijing, they can be planted every year.
Two seasons. It happened that the Cheng family used Lanfang candy to fight with him at this time. It was like digging into his pocket. Fang Xiaoyu decided to play with them this time and make the Cheng family shed their skin even if they didn't die.
After Fang Weiming returned, he listened to Fang Xiaoyu's words and sold a large amount of Lanfang candy at a low price. At the same time, he opened a small bank in a low-key manner. In order to show that this bank was opened by Fang Xiaoyu, he specially named the bank Lanting Bank. Everyone knows Lanting Bank.
The villa is Fang Xiaoyu's property. This time, with Lanting Bank, Fang Xiaoyu's reputation is not built on. Some people started to deposit money in Lanting Bank out of trust in Fang Xiaoyu's reputation.
However, there are not many such people after all, and Cheng Yuhuan ridiculed this matter as overestimating one's capabilities. Seeing the low-priced Lanfang candy sold in large quantities by the Fang family, the Cheng family was indeed fooled. They thought that the Fang family was losing money and making money, so they wanted to
Relying on the Cheng family, Cheng Yuhuan has recently begun to buy cane sugar in the south, and the Fang family must not have much supply.
After much consideration, Cheng Yuhuan believed that the Fang family did not have much inventory and planned to swallow it all so that they could dominate the capital. Therefore, the Cheng family mobilized all the funds they could mobilize to buy Lanfang candy sold by the Fang family.
"Lanfang sugar is sold wholesale at a low price, 80,000 yuan per ton, and the minimum purchase quantity is 100 tons." Some good people gathered in front of various stores of the Fang family and curiously looked at the sales notice that had just been posted. 80,000 yuan per ton.
This is 80 yuan per kilogram, which is already the floor price for current Lanfang sugar, but the minimum purchase quantity of 100 tons makes everyone prohibitive.
Eight million Lanfang coins is not a small amount. Even the larger merchants in the capital cannot afford so much, and the retail price is still two hundred yuan per kilogram. Fang Weiming has no choice but to advertise like this. If he wants
To support the Cheng family to death, a large amount of Lanfang candy is needed, and if the retail price is even lowered, it will inevitably cause people to rob it, which will invisibly help the Cheng family.
Such high wholesale requirements were clearly a trap for the Cheng family, but after thinking about it, Cheng Yuhuan believed that the Fang family would not survive much and he should be able to eat it, so the Cheng family began to take action. "Get out of the way, get out of the way." A group of people said, "Get out of the way."
The wolf-like servants drove away the crowd and came to the front of Fang's shop. "Where is your shopkeeper? Let's buy Lanfang candy." A guy who looked like he was in charge stood in front of the shop with his hands on his hips and said,
As if he was afraid that others wouldn't see him.
The shopkeeper in charge of this shop walked out with a smile: "Oh, this is not the home of the Cheng family's executives. Why did you come to my place today? Are you planning to change the owner?" The Fang family and the Cheng family have always disagreed.
To deal with it, as soon as they met, his words were full of thorns.
The senior executive of the Cheng family obviously did not take the Fang family seriously today. Surprisingly, he did not retort, but said loudly: "My master said that we want to buy Lanfang candy today. Aren't you wholesale? We will buy two hundred."
Tons." As soon as the executive's words came out, the nearby crowd watching the excitement was in an uproar. The Cheng family was rich, and they spent more than 10 million Lanfang coins.
The shopkeeper was not surprised by the Cheng family's request. The eldest master had already told the Cheng family that if they wanted to buy Lanfang candy, they could sell it to them. The shopkeeper smiled and cupped his hands and said: "Okay, no problem, hand in hand."
The money is delivered by hand. As long as you pay the money, you can pick up the goods immediately." The executive waved his hand, and two servants came over with a box each. They opened the box and two boxes full of banknotes appeared in front of everyone, causing a burst of tuts.
of admiration.
Seeing everyone's surprised expressions, the executive felt bright on his face. He waved and said: "The money is here, let's pick up the goods." The shopkeeper smiled and said: "Of course, I will wait for my accountant to count the money.
Delivery." The Cheng Fang family has always been at odds with each other, and the shopkeeper did not make it easy for them. Under his instruction, the accountant deliberately counted the money slowly, leaving the executives and other Cheng family servants to wait at the door.
It took three hours to deliver the goods, which made the executive's legs go numb.
This situation is also happening in several other large shops of the Fang family. The Fang family sells Lanfang sugar on a large scale at low prices, and the Cheng family also buys it on a large scale. In a few days, Fang Xiaoyu sent a thousand tons of Lanfang sugar.
It soon bottomed out. Fang Xiaoyu transferred another 200 tons of Lanfang sugar that had just been produced from the villa. This was already Fang Xiaoyu's last inventory.
Fang Xiaoyu has not returned to the villa these days. In order to get the news as quickly as possible, Fang Xiaoyu stayed in his former room in the Fang family's old house. At this time, Fang Xiaoyu was sitting in the study that was used as a temporary headquarters.
This is Fang Weiming's study. At this time, Fang Weiming is staring at the shop. There are only Fang Xiaoyu, Fang Dingguo, Fang Qiong and Zhao Quan in the study. After Fang Xiaoyu heard his subordinates' report that two hundred tons of Lanfang sugar had been transported to various shops of the Fang family
He breathed a sigh of relief and laughed at himself: "I didn't expect that the Cheng family was so rich that they could swallow a thousand tons of Lanfang candy." Fang Xiaoyu was indeed very surprised. This was a thousand tons of Lanfang candy. Fang Xiaoyu had saved half of it.
More than a month's worth of inventory was actually swallowed up by the Cheng family.
Second grandfather Fang Qiong has asked for leave these days. He really can't sit still at the Ministry of Works. Fortunately, there are not many things going on at the Ministry of Works during this period, so it doesn't matter if he doesn't go there for a few days. Fang Qiong asked Fang Xiaoyu: "Xiaoyu
, Will your method work? Now Weiming has reduced the wholesale quantity to fifty tons." Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "Second Grandpa, you are confused if you care. That one thousand tons of Lanfang sugar costs eight
Tens of millions of yuan, even if the Cheng family has money, it will probably be almost spent. How much money can he still have?"
Fang Qiong said: "Don't forget that they also have a big bank. The Cheng family can mobilize a lot of funds." Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "Second grandfather, the Cheng family's bank is powerful in the East China Sea and Southwest, and in the capital.
But it’s not big, not to mention the Cheng family’s funds are tight recently.”
"Oh? How do you know?" Fang Qiong said with some surprise. Fang Xiaoyu glanced at Zhao Quan and said: "The Cheng family is too impatient this time. They want to monopolize all Lanfang sugar sales in the Lanfang Empire, so not only do they
The wanton purchase of cane sugar and the purchase of large amounts of land capable of growing sugar cane have diverted too much funds." Fang Qiong sighed and said, "Cheng Yuhuan really made a wrong move. I think if he can be more cautious, we can only
Share the market with them."
Fang Xiaoyu said: "According to common sense, Cheng Yuhuan is not wrong. He controls all sources of sucrose. As long as our inventory is cleared, they can monopolize the market. It's a pity that he doesn't know that there is something called beet that can also squeeze sugar." Fang Xiaoyu said
I secretly thought that it would be easier if Huitong Bank's funds were bottomed out. Although the Cheng family had a large business, most of it was land and other real estate, and the liquidity should not exceed 100 million.
At this time, Cheng Yuhuan asked a middle-aged man in Cheng's mansion: "Steward Liu, how much more funds can we use?" Butler Liu said: "Master, we don't have much funds anymore. The bank only has 10 million working capital available.
If we are withdrawing money and someone withdraws money on a large scale, we will be in trouble."
