Of course, there are still dozens of powerful businessmen who are insisting, and they want to continue betting - betting that Hua Xi deliberately released smoke bombs to confuse himself, and even concealed it from his three subordinates.
The truth of the matter is that the logistics force still needs to purchase military supplies in large quantities.
However, when they saw Jiang Wei returning from the Logistics Corps camp, they immediately sold off the supplies from the two major shops "Zhonghua City" and "Kesiyunlai" without hesitation. At the same time, rumors spread in the city, saying that the army had sufficient supplies and was defeated.
When the mountain garrison was just around the corner, a series of news completely defeated the last psychological defense line of those speculators.
The two major shops "Zhonghua City" and "Guests Come Like Clouds" have almost become the weather vane of Changyang's commodity prices. At noon on the second day after Jiang Wei started selling supplies, only 17 hours later, prices in the city began to fall, and by the evening
It can be described as plummeting.
Many of these speculators have business dealings with "Zhonghua City" and "Guests Like Clouds". They know that Jiang Wei and Hua Xi have a very close relationship with each other. Jiang Wei is now almost the business representative of the Zhonghua clan in Changyang City. Even he
They are all so impatient to sell off the materials they have been hoarding for a long time. It can be seen that there is not much progress in it. Now you can earn some hard money by selling it, and at worst you can save your capital. If you wait and see for a few more days, I am afraid that all your money will be really lost.
No home left
Nowadays, various shops and workshops in the city are full of materials sold at low prices. Among them, there are also speculators who are selling at low prices. There is no hope of reselling at high prices. They are cutting off the meat and selling it. The tears are pouring down. Now, those who have not participated
The merchants who speculated and resold this time were speculators who did not have much hoarding. Although the plummeting prices had an impact on their business income, seeing those industry giants, wealthy aristocrats, and big merchants cut their flesh and blood like this, I felt so sad in my heart.
Being happy with stocks is simply a thousand times happier than making a lot of money
It seems that the mentality of gloating about misfortune has already begun to exist after private ownership was born and internal conflicts became acute to a certain extent. Just like the two extreme psychology of hating the rich and showing off wealth, they are a manifestation of the internal contradictions among the people.
Hua Xi has continuously released a large amount of public or gossip information through the logistics corps and the tribal government of the great chief: the storage capacity of various materials in the Changyang City warehouse is very abundant, enough to meet the needs of the 50,000-strong army for half a year of operations. At the same time, it also advocates
The combat effectiveness of the army weakens the combat effectiveness of the mountain garrison, which to some extent implies that the war will not last too long.
Rumors and the official statement of the Yugong regime worked together, and the authenticity of the news was gradually confirmed by hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Changyang. This general public mentality immediately caused a rapid decline in market prices, returning to an extremely low level.
Hua Xi is not worried about how much impact this phenomenon will have on the interests of most businessmen, but it will cause considerable harm to those speculators. These arms purchases may reshuffle the wealthy class in Changyang, and have a negative impact on the wealthy class in Changyang.
For some small businessmen with courage and vision, it is a good opportunity to develop and grow. At the same time, Hua Xi is not worried about the serious consequences of doing so. Perhaps by doing so, he has offended some big people with strong backgrounds.
family, but his background is not very tyrannical - the leader of the country of China!
At noon three days later, the logistics corps camp in the southern suburbs of the city
Hua Xi held a purchasing meeting here and openly purchased a large amount of stone and wood from all merchants in Changyang. The sources of these two resources are very wide. You can find wood that can be cut and excavated within a few miles around Changyang City.
Stone, so no businessman with a wet brain would deliberately hoard and drive up the price of stone and wood. It turns out that stone and wood are available everywhere, and they can be obtained by cutting and digging locally wherever the army goes. But what they want is not to set up camp.
Stone and wood are used to make weapons.
Although this type of weapons made of wood and stone is very simple to make, it takes a lot of time when there are too many, and the scrap rate is extremely high due to damage. Therefore, prepare early and have more wooden clubs, javelins, and stone axes, which are also very useful in battle.
beneficial
This public procurement conference naturally attracted many merchants to participate. Of course, most of them came with a lively attitude, mainly because they wanted to see the first large-scale procurement of the Logistics Corps.
You really want to sell something
Hua Xi, Tuoba Ban, Murong Fu, and Li Qi, the four military Sima, but the Xing Sima left the camp two hours before the start of the procurement conference. The specific matters of the procurement conference were arranged by the people below.
Hua Xi and his three subordinates came to the Changyang warehouse located in the north of the city. Together they signed and stamped their signatures at the official in charge of warehouse withdrawals, and received a large number of bamboo slips marked with 10,000 kilograms of grain, or 10,000 coppers, and the Changyang tribe logo.
, a total of 1 million kilograms of food, and 500,000 copper coins. To receive these bamboo slips, four people must sign and pledge them together to be valid. With these sealed bamboo slips, you can withdraw the corresponding supplies from the warehouse at any time.
Murong Fu's eyes widened, staring at the numbers on the bamboo slips with a look of disbelief or ecstasy, and he said ecstatically: "Sir, we have so much money and food in charge! I can say for sure.
, we can also compete with the financial resources of those big nobles!"
Tuoba Ban curled his lips and was not impressed by Murong Fu's surprise. He hoarded some supplies and wanted to resell them, but he failed to make any money. Instead, he lost a little. He said with some resentment in his heart: "What's the use of having more money and food?
It just passed through our hands for a while, and it doesn’t belong to us.”
Li Qi heard Tuoba Ban making such an explicit complaint in front of Army Sima, and then looked at Hua Xi's unresponsive expression. He didn't say anything, but just stood aside silently.
Hua Xi collected the bamboo slips one by one and asked Yugong to assign these three partners to be his subordinates. He himself was a little helpless.
Tuoba Ban is too selfish and does not distinguish between public and private affairs
Murong Fu had a cheerful personality and was suitable for fighting on the front lines. Unfortunately, he did not have a firm stand on financial issues and was easily deceived by instigation and did foolish things.
Li Qi is a little more stable than the two of them, but Chengfu is also a little deeper than the two of them. He will not reveal much about his attitude and stance, which will have a certain impact on the cooperation between them.
However, Yu Meng arranged for himself to serve these three people as errands under him. Many things require their full cooperation before he can act cheaply. If there is a stalemate, it will not be good for anyone. He alone cannot bear the logistics support tasks of the entire legion.
