Five hundred and seventy-eight chapters need to teach him the rules
In the coal market outside Fuchengmen, it is impossible to hide the comings and goings of large numbers, not to mention how conspicuous the large motorcade is, and there are also official presences such as the tax department boss and the Yaren.
The news that Taisheng Coal Shop had obtained 80,000 kilograms of coal was known to all other major coal shops overnight. This made everyone very strange. There was trouble in Xishan, and the only coal produced was also eaten by them. I don't know.
Where did Taisheng Coal Shop get its coal from? After asking around, I found out that Taisheng Coal Shop had changed owners, and the new owner had gotten this batch of coal from the north.
At this time, in the coal market, small coal shops have basically no business left, and most of them have closed down for the Chinese New Year. However, the 16 large coal shops other than Taisheng Coal Shop have accumulated a total of three to four million kilograms of coal in the past ten days.
But they don't sell in large quantities. Each company only sells a small amount every day to maintain the high market price.
Although due to various reasons that are too complicated to explain and a certain eunuch that cannot be explained clearly, the major coal shops are collectively squeezing Taisheng Coal Shop, but secret exclusion does not mean deliberate hostility. Taisheng Coal Shop, the former industry leader, is in trouble.
Coal can still be obtained from China, which was really speechless for a while.
What's more, the identity of the new owner of Taisheng Coal Shop is also very special. It is said that he is Li Qianxian, who once came to rectify the coal market. It sounds touching and weird, so weird that no one can make up their mind, so they have to wait and see first.
Some people snickered inwardly. Li Qianxian took over the Taisheng Coal Shop and tried to get so much coal. He probably wanted to take advantage of the market to make a huge profit. In less than half a month, the price of coal has risen to four times the previous level.
Who wouldn't want to have a hand in this?
When he was still in office, he came to rectify the coal market. He was so righteous and upright. However, after losing his official position, he immediately changed his face and joined in the same trap as them, who were criticized as profiteers. It was really eye-opening. How embarrassing it was.
Early that morning, Li You crawled out of the warm bed with great perseverance and hurriedly glanced at the newspaper while eating breakfast.
It’s nearing the end of the year. Apart from quarrels and grand celebrations, other business in the imperial court has basically stagnated. There is nothing interesting to read in the Di newspaper. But there is something new today. After the Lianghuai salt case was delayed for eight months, the "Yangzhou" who was tricked into the prison by the former Master Li
The final penalty result for "Three Groups" came out.
None of the three people died. The former salt transport envoy Ding Ding was dismissed from office, his house was confiscated, and he will never be used again. The former prefect Luo Xingye was dismissed from his office, his house was confiscated, and he was exiled from the army. He will never be used again. The former Fengyang governor Yang had a relatively minor crime and a high status.
If it is higher, the court will only punish you with dismissal from office after showing good grace.
Seeing the fate of the three people, they seemed to be very distant names. Li You sighed and put the newspaper aside. Life always looks forward. Now he has other important things. These three people are already in the past.
, not worth wasting too much time.
It’s time to start selling coal! Mr. Li personally went to Taisheng Coal Shop today. Shopkeepers, cashiers, and various clerks were all in place, waiting for the boss’s order. Shopkeeper Gao stood in front of his boss and carefully reported today’s preparations.
"Has the news been released?" Li Dongjia asked.
"Yesterday, we sent all the clerks out to several big temple fairs and New Year markets in the city to spread the news that our Taisheng Coal Shop will sell 40,000 kilograms of coal every day starting from today." Shopkeeper Gao replied.
To be honest, Shopkeeper Gao doesn't agree with the boss's decision. In his opinion, the safest way is to hoard coal and wait for the best opportunity like other peers. Anyway, with the support of bank accounts, there is no shortage of working capital.
Another advantage of stockpiling coal is that you can keep up with the light and avoid causing dissatisfaction among colleagues. Otherwise, others would just put away a token amount of 1,800 kilograms every day, while Taisheng Coal Shop puts out tens of thousands of kilograms every day. Not only is it too unique,
It may also cause small, unpredictable disruptions to the market and trigger hostility among peers.
But the boss didn't seem to care about this, and Shopkeeper Gao couldn't do anything about it.
"Have the officers and soldiers invited from the Xicheng Military and Horse Department arrived?" Li Dongjia continued to ask.
"It's already in place. I'll give you the price for ten days first." Shopkeeper Gao replied.
Shopkeeper Gao also felt that it was a bit redundant for the boss to hire officers and soldiers from the Military and Horse Division through personal connections to maintain order. He really didn't think it was necessary. He was just selling coal, and he didn't want others to grab it.
"Is the room ready?" Li Dongjia also asked.
"Everything has been arranged." Shopkeeper Gao replied affirmatively.
The owner requested to set up another numbered room, separate from the coal yard. First, pay the money and get the ticket in the numbered room, and then go to the coal yard to get the coal with the ticket. Regarding this decision, shopkeeper Gao still feels that this decision is unnecessary...
The employees of Taisheng Coal Shop, who had been idle for more than ten days, were gearing up for a big job. During the good year, a lot of people gradually gathered outside Taisheng Coal Shop, most of whom came to buy coal after hearing the news.
As Li You discovered, people in the capital stockpile coal before the winter, just based on their current financial resources. But overall, the coal stock must be constantly replenished, and it must be in advance before it is used up.
Replenish.
But the amount of coal sold in the coal market is very small now, and each shop sells it at most a thousand kilograms a day at a speculative price. Compared with the capital's population of one million, it is a drop in the bucket and it is difficult to buy.
In the twelfth lunar month, temple fairs and annual markets are the places with the largest population flow, so when the Taisheng Coal Shop clerk released the news at seven or eight temple fairs and annual markets, it attracted great attention.
Especially those who went to buy coal recently but couldn't find it were attracted. With tens of thousands of kilograms of coal being released every day, it should be available. Now that coal is available, the price doesn't matter.
Therefore, early in the morning, there was already a crowd outside the Taisheng Coal Shop. Hundreds of people had gathered, and more and more people were coming from the city. Of course, among these people, there were also people sent by other coal shops to see the situation. This Taisheng Coal Shop
Claiming to put tens of thousands of pounds a day, how could it not attract the attention of colleagues? You have to see it with your own eyes to see what the situation is.
Li You is very careful in his work. After carefully questioning shopkeeper Gao, he confirmed that the store was truly ready in all aspects, so he waved and said: "Let's get started!"
Regarding the arrangement of the boss, shopkeeper Gao said that he should implement whatever he understood, and implement what he didn't understand, and understand it during the implementation process. However, there was one thing he had to ask clearly first, so he did not leave, "Dong, you have one more thing.
There was no order to come down."
Li Youqi asked: "What's the matter?"
"At what price will it be sold this time? Should it be based on the market price of 4 taels per 100 kilograms, or should the price be raised slightly? I think it would be better to increase the price to 5 taels. You must know that we are the only one in the market that is so large in volume, and everyone else is
We are hoarding and reluctant to sell. We are afraid that others will follow suit and start to increase the volume, then we will lose the exclusive opportunity and we will not be able to make more money." Storekeeper Gao suggested with a professional perspective.
He asked too many questions and almost forgot himself... Li You smiled, stretched out two fingers and said: "Two cents per catty, and each person is limited to twenty catties!"
Shopkeeper Gao was used to the large unit of 100 kilograms. He didn't realize for a moment what the price of two cents per kilogram was. After converting, he realized that this was the usual 2 taels per 100 kilograms! It was only half the current market price of 2 taels!
Shopkeeper Gao almost jumped up and objected fiercely: "No! This is too cheap, it's the same as our purchase price! Two taels in and two taels out, then how much money can we make!"
Li You stood with his hands behind his hands, looking at the statue of the God of Wealth on the wall, and sighed: "When we read the books of sages and sages, if we are poor, we will be alone, and if we are rich, we will be the best in the world. We help those in need and those who are in need, today is the day!"
The great sentiments of his boss rushed towards him, and shopkeeper Gao suddenly felt his own humbleness and insignificance. He shook his head to get rid of the discomfort, and made a rational voice: "We are just businessmen, we open a shop!"
Li Youdun taught: "Shops should also be responsible, conscientious, and attitude-based shops!"
"Such pricing is an enemy of all peers! Words such as responsibility, conscience and attitude are completely useless in front of money!" Gao Zhangui shouted again.
Li Daguan said with great pride: "Thousands of people are going to my place of justice! I have made up my mind, don't say more!"
Shopkeeper Gao held the feeling of "the emperor is in chaos and the country is in turmoil, but the wise ministers have no choice", and went out with tears in his eyes to make arrangements. No wonder the boss took those measures, including asking the officers and soldiers to maintain them and promoting the separation of the number house and the coal yard. It must be to prevent people
Lots of trouble.
The price is two cents per catty. Can people who know the news not rush to buy it? How can there be so many people? Even if each person is limited to buying twenty catties per day, the whole family can come together to buy it!
Shopkeeper Gao ignored the criticism and said that when Taisheng Coal Shop announced the price and purchase restriction measures, the crowd gathered outside the store burst into loud cheers, which echoed through the sky on this gloomy winter day. If you heard it from a distance,
, as if winter thunder shook.
Hearing the news of the purchase restriction, the whole family came together and felt completely happy. They went into battle alone with a basket on their backs, but the joy was mixed with a bit of unwillingness and entanglement.
The few people sent by other stores to watch the situation heard this extremely shocking low price and no longer cared about watching the excitement, they all left and went back to report.
When the shopkeepers of the major coal shops heard the news, they were all dumbfounded. If Taisheng Coal Shop wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune and sell coal in large quantities at high prices, they would not be surprised, or it was expected.
But selling coal at such a low price is beyond everyone's expectation. According to the information they gathered, they can't make any money selling coal at this price!
Although this is not an official market price, it will definitely have an impact on the market and people's expected psychology.
What does Taisheng Coal Shop mean? Do you think you have too much money and no place to spend it, so you deliberately spend it like this? Or do you just deliberately cause trouble?
Or is there something wrong with the current boss who is an upright official and is not convinced that he has lost his official position, so he must use this method to increase his sense of existence? After much discussion, everyone feels that this last possibility is the most likely.
Does he think he is still an official who wants to boost his popularity? It doesn’t matter if he goes crazy and loses money, but he cannot disrupt the market or go against the good situation that the entire industry has worked hard to create!
The shopping mall has its rules and he is not allowed to act recklessly. Now he needs to be taught this rule! And he must be told that the shopping mall is also ruthless. If he sells coal like this alone, he is doomed to be in vain and cannot change the trend.
