At this time, Zunhua was shocked by a breaking news.
The owner of Xinghe Iron Works actually opened three grain stores. There are barriers to the grain industry. Without a large amount of land, it is impossible to open grain stores.
Everyone in the industry is laughing at his jokes.
What a joke. If you're an iron smelter, just smelt your iron well and come here to resell food. You'll make as much money as you want.
Yes, food prices are expected to rise, and everyone has seen it. However, you cannot make money if food prices rise, because the pricing power of the purchased goods is not in your hands.
The big landowners in Zunhua have all been told that the Grain Merchant Guild does not want the industry to continue to increase. The market is now saturated. As for the newly opened grain stores, let them take care of themselves.
The big landowners know very well that this means don't sell grain to them. Their new shops will naturally not be able to open if they don't have grain.
Under the monopoly of the industry guilds, no new grain stores have been opened for ten years. The monopoly has brought huge profits, and grain prices have been higher every year. This only hurts the common people.
They can only buy food to eat while working, so they have no choice but to endure it.
Food is unlike anything else. If one hundred people only have ninety-nine portions of food, if one portion is missing, the price can soar into the sky like a rocket.
The reason is very simple. No one wants to be the one who starves to death, so they will try their best to buy at high prices.
Gong Zusan is the president of the Grain Merchant Guild.
I am very unhappy about the fact that Xinghe and his gang opened a grain store without permission without even coming to ask for instructions from him, and the consequences will be serious.
The consequence is that there will be no local large landowners to sell grain to him.
Zunhua, a highly industrialized smelting base, has hundreds of thousands of miners and ironworks workers, plus their families, no less than 500,000 people, plus people in the service and transportation industries, as well as businessmen, the total population will reach seven
Although 800,000 people are scattered within a hundred miles around, there are also hundreds of thousands of people in the county.
Everyone knows that humans must eat. These people are all pure grain consumers. There are many people who are optimistic about the Zunhua grain market. If anyone can come and open a grain store, that would be great.
That kid surnamed Yang came out of nowhere and opened a small iron factory. He didn't know how high the sky was. He actually dared to reach out to the grain industry. Haha, I won't close his grain store this time.
Just write your name backwards.
On the first day that the three grain stores opened, a breaking news spread throughout the city. The store not only sold grain, but also accepted millet in exchange for rice.
One pound for one pound.
Everyone is stupid. These people are not hysterical.
There is no rice produced in the north, so rice is shipped from the south of the Yangtze River. A load of millet costs one cent and five silver, a load of white rice costs five cents, and even old grain white rice costs three cents.
One pound for one pound, the boss is not crazy, right?
When Gong Zusan heard the news, he was also a little confused. This was a strange move. What exactly were they going to do? But he soon made a decision. Since they wanted to die themselves, we will comply with their wishes.
"Ask the top berths in the guild to bring millet to exchange. Exchange as much as they can. We also want the old grain, as long as it is not moldy. The middle and small shops should not participate in it yet."
Gong Zusan gave the order, and hundreds of carts of millet were delivered to Xinghe Grain Store that day.
At various major grain stores, people blocked the doors and shouted, asking the boss to come out and exchange money quickly. Many people gathered around to watch the excitement.
There were already a lot of small retail investors who exchanged their millet for rice. Zhao Fu analyzed that the master wanted to attract a group of customers, which was what Miss Yaoguang meant by advertising. He became famous all of a sudden, and he also paid
The general public was deeply impressed.
As long as everyone knows about our store, it will be easy to run. Aren't the biggest worries about a new store is that no one will come to the door? Besides, after changing the rice, maybe you can buy something else from the store.
This activity is probably the promotion I mentioned. The loss is well worth it.
But when the Grain Chamber of Commerce was mixed in, the nature changed.
Zhao Fu hurriedly came to find Miss Yaoguang.
After Yang Fan left, Yaoguang was obviously Yang Fan's agent, and everyone came to her for advice.
"Girl, people from the Zunhua Grain Chamber of Commerce sent hundreds of carts of millet at once. Can we exchange it for them?"
"Humph, this is bullying. We are a new store and have not yet established a stable footing. Change, take as much as you can." Yao Guang wrinkled her nose and snorted coldly.
Gong Zusan picked up the rice he had just exchanged with his hands, put it under his nose, smelled it, and sneered: "It is indeed old rice, or three-year old rice."
Chen Jin was the second largest grain merchant in the guild. He put the grains of rice into his mouth, chewed it carefully, tasted it, and said strangely: "I can't tell where the rice came from. This rice is so bad, it tastes like chewing rice."
, there is no aroma of white rice at all.”
He, a veteran who has been doing this for generations, was unable to identify it, which surprised everyone.
Wang Huai asked: "Could it be Cochin rice or Siamese rice from overseas?"
Chen Liucai retorted: "Although I have never seen this rice, the rice grains are short, thick and round, and it is obviously japonica rice. This is the characteristic of northern rice. Siamese rice, Jiaozhi rice, and even Luzon rice are all indica rice, and the rice grains are slender. This is
It can't be confused. It can't be from overseas."
Wang Huai asked again: "Is it Korean rice or Japanese rice?"
Several old shopkeepers shook their heads, absolutely not.
Who are they? If they say it's not, then it's definitely not the case.
"Cook it now, taste it when it's done," Gong Zusan said.
After a while, the rice was ready, and several people took some in small tea bowls and tasted it slowly.
Everyone shook their heads, it didn't taste good.
There is no rice flavor at all.
It feels like chewing wax when chewing.
No wonder the boy named Yang was willing to exchange it for millet.
If Yang Fan were here, of course he would laugh at them.
This is modern double-cropping hybrid rice, which is produced by chemical fertilizers and pesticides. The yield has increased, but the taste is good, so don't have high hopes.
People who were born in the 1970s or earlier will definitely still have memories of their childhood, when food was very sweet.
When one family in the village steams white rice, everyone in the village can smell the aroma. But the current rice has lost too much texture and flavor.
There is a saying in Chinese medicine that for the Han race, the most nutritious thing is grains, and other meats are not nutritious.
However, grains must be grains with the ability to reproduce, that is, grains that can be used as seeds, so that they can have the energy and spirit to nourish the body.
Modern genetic breeding can only grow eunuch rice for one season, which has no effect of nourishing the internal organs. It will only make you obese.
Hundreds of cars and thirty tons of millet were exchanged.
But the shopkeepers don’t feel that they are taking advantage. Three years old rice is still so unpalatable, so switching to millet is really not an advantage.
There are still many people queuing up to redeem. It is estimated that they are not willing to come back to redeem after eating it once. This kind of white rice is not as sweet and delicious as millet.
After proofing in the evening, Yaoguang was making calculations. Today, he received a total of about one hundred tons of millet, which should be enough for Hyundai to sell for a while.
Yaoguang teleported Xiaomi that night.
Then I sent a message to Sun Xing from Xinghe Collection.
Sun Xing knew that Yang Yaoguang was the boss's secretary, but she had never had the chance to meet her. She had the same last name as the boss, so she didn't know if they were related.
"Xiao Sun, a batch of special grade millet has arrived at the warehouse. Go and collect it, pack it into bags of ten kilograms, and list it for sale on Xinghe Collection Online."
"Hello, Secretary Yang, this grain is not suitable for sale in the Xinghe Collection. We have never sold this before, and I'm afraid of losing it." Sun Xing has made a prosperous business in ancient coins recently, and she is afraid that she will be compensated for this.
Yes, it affects the semi-annual report.
"Don't be afraid. This is what the boss wants. Just do as you are told. It's still the same as the antiques. I'll give it to you at half price. Don't be afraid of losing money. The goods will be sent to you first and we'll sell them on behalf of you. By the way, the company will give you benefits. You and Monkey, Erluzi
, scammers are just like them, each employee is given a bag for free. This is high-quality rice, which cannot be easily bought."
"Okay." Sun Xing had nothing to say. If he didn't accept it, Monkey and the others would definitely accept it. They were all farmers and had no objection to selling rice.
"What's the market price?"
"Currently, we will sell it for fifty-one catties, and later the price will be raised to one hundred and one catties depending on the situation."
"What! It's so expensive, how could anyone buy it?" Sun Xing was dumbfounded.
"Expensive, huh, there will be more expensive ones in the future. Register a company as soon as possible. Let's call it Xinghe Agricultural Products and make it a wholly-owned subsidiary of Xinghe Collection."
Sun Xing was dumbfounded. The best millet from Shanxi only weighed 21 jins at the top. Generally, the price of ten yuan per catty is very good. This one actually sold for 51 jins.
