Chapter 219 The more expensive the more people buy
Tan Yuan took office in a hurry after filling the vacancy in Huailai County.
From his understanding, Yang Xuan asked him to cooperate before because of his position as the governor of the four provinces, but now he is a county magistrate. If someone looks down on him and stops cooperating with him, then he will not even be able to cooperate with him in the end.
There is no chance of repayment.
When he came to Huailai County, Yang Xuan did not change his mind because of his identity. He even made it clear that he was interested in his identity as a member of the Jin Party and relied on him to build a bridge with the Jin Party.
Before this changed, Tan Yuan would definitely feel unhappy, but now, he only has such a little use value.
Then Shanxi merchants sent people to open a Liqun business, and Yang Xuan also found a prairie man to open a Furong business in the name.
After this period of speculation, the price of tobacco from four taels of silver was sold to fifteen taels in one fell swoop. Both the Shanxi merchants and the Essien family were very excited.
This is especially true for Shanxi merchants. Even though their businesses are spread all over the world, it is unheard of for someone like Yang Xuan to be able to earn such a huge profit with just a few tricks.
In fact, the first 100 kilograms of tobacco leaves were bought by their own people. Later, the price was increased several times, and their own people also contributed to the increase.
The only real transaction was the three hundred catty contract sold at fifteen taels.
According to Yang Xuan, this is fishing. Previously it was called making a nest. The contract of three hundred kilograms was called hooking. Then it was just waiting for the fish to take the bait.
In addition to Tan Yuan, there was also a man named Zhao Jingde at the wine table. He was the shopkeeper of Liqunxing and came from the Zhao family, one of the three largest families in Jinzhong.
Zhao Jingde raised his glass and made a toast: "Master Yang's method of turning his hands to make clouds and rain is really eye-opening for this villain. May I ask Master Yang, what should I do next?"
Yang Xuan touched his chin and said: "According to the previously agreed price of fifteen taels, two thousand kilograms will be released first, and then recovered at the price of twenty taels."
"Twenty taels?" Tan Yuan said in surprise: "Then if they sell them all, wouldn't we lose money?"
"Master Tan, don't panic. This is called taking a long shot to catch the big fish. Only when you let others taste the sweetness will they invest more money."
Zhao Jingde glanced at Tan Yuan with disdain and said: "Master Tan, this way of doing business is all about a game. If the price of twenty taels can be recovered, that would be wonderful."
Yang Xuan gave Zhao Jingde an appreciative look: "Shopkeeper Zhao still understands me."
The two of them burst into laughter. Tan Yuan on the side didn't know why, but he could only laugh along stupidly.
Zhao Jingde asked again: "May I ask Mr. Yang, when do you plan to release the contract with Furong Bank?"
"Don't worry, my contracts have been booked by someone."
"Has anyone made a reservation?" Zhao Jingde was confused: "If you want to make a reservation, shouldn't you make it earlier? After all, the later you go, the higher the price will be."
Yang Xuan waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, they will ask for it no matter how high the price is."
Seeing that Yang Xuan was unwilling to say more, Zhao Jingde was inconvenient to ask more questions.
In fact, Yang Xuan's ten thousand catty contract was reserved for the Fucha family.
In name, the shopkeeper of Furong Shop is a member of the Essien family. When this news reaches the Fucha family, how can they just watch the Essien family make a fortune? Even if they don't make money, they are not willing to just watch.
Watching the Essien family make money.
Anyway, he is not worried at all that the Fucha family will not take action.
Zhao Jingde asked again: "I wonder, Mr. Yang, does Mr. Yang know the final price?"
Yang Xuan pondered for a while and said: "Let's settle on fifty taels for the time being. No matter how expensive it is, people won't be able to afford it."
Tan Yuan exclaimed: "Master Yang, I'm afraid not many people can afford to smoke these fifty taels of silver."
Yang Xuan laughed and said, "Don't worry, Master Tan. Things are rare and valuable. The more expensive they are, the more people will buy them."
As he spoke, he pointed to the hardcover version of Sansheng Sanshi wine on the table: "Look, the supply of these three hundred taels of wine still exceeds demand."
Tan Yuan clicked his tongue repeatedly: "If I hadn't benefited from you two, I wouldn't be able to afford this drink."
Zhao Jingde on the side patted him on the shoulder and said: "When this deal is completed, Mr. Tan can drink as much as he wants from now on."
Tan Yuan quickly looked flattered: "I still need to rely on shopkeeper Zhao to support me."
It is sad that he, a dignified seventh-grade county magistrate, has to rely on a businessman for support.
After bidding farewell to the two of them, Yang Xuan came to the factory area south of Tumubao. As more and more people came to invest, the previous families also increased their investment, and the original factory area was no longer enough.
Therefore, the factory area has become a large construction site again, and construction is intensifying.
After all, locating the factory outside the customs can reduce a lot of costs.
If the factory is located within the customs, a fee will be charged for the raw materials entering the customs, and another fee will be charged after the production is shipped out of the customs. All these money saved will be profits.
Also accompanying Yang Xuan during the inspection was Guan Yunrong. The two of them stood on a hillside, looking at the scenery in the distance and couldn't help but sigh.
"When I came last year, this place was still desolate. In just one year, it has become as lively as it is now. Looking back, it feels like a dream."
Yang Xuan did not lament like Guan Yunrong. Looking north from this angle, Tumubao looks like a commercial complex. It has attracted so many factories. If it wants to develop further, it must rely on population.
"Now that the population of Tumubao is increasing, this residential area should also be put on the agenda."
"What residential area?"
"It's the area where residents live," Yang Xuan said. "Population is the main factor that drives the economy. I want to build Tumubao into a city to attract more people."
"But this place is always outside the customs. Many people are afraid of the grassland people, so they don't dare to come. Just like the last time the grassland people besieged us, who would have dared to come if it weren't for the news being blocked."
"This is the reason why I want to develop this place. In the future, this Tumu Fort will not only have Dasheng people, but also grassland people. When Dasheng people and grassland people can't tell each other in the Tumu Fort, do you think the grassland people will still be there?"
Will they come to attack?"
Guan Yunrong's eyes lit up: "I understand, the reason why we didn't take direct action at Tiefu Tu last time was because there were still many prairie people in Tumu Fort."
Yang Xuan rubbed Guan Yunrong's head: "You are so smart. In the future, when the two parties are integrated, there will be no need to talk about hatred."
Guan Yunrong's cheeks turned red and she unknowingly came closer to Yang Xuan. The two of them got closer and closer...
Zhang Junbao on the side couldn't stand it anymore and walked away muttering.
He didn't understand what Yang Xuan said, but he turned his attention to the south. What he was thinking about was when would the senior brother and other senior brothers come.
