Chapter 536: So What
"Childe, that's true." The housekeeper who came to report the news was also confused, "Those people from the Daming Royal Commercial House are like fools, as long as we give us silver, they will sell it, as if they don't know that we are going to sweep the goods." ”
"Hahaha...... Aren't they just a bunch of fools? Hong Anque's eyes looked up to the sky and laughed, "The things sold by the Daming Royal Commercial House have already been seen by my son, they are indeed good things, and they are sold so cheaply, even if we take them and sell them, we can make a lot of money, how can we not do such a good thing." You immediately tell the people below to buy it for Ben Gongzi immediately, as long as they sell it, we will buy it all. ”
"Understood!"
The housekeeper agreed and was just about to go down, a housekeeper in charge of shopping hurriedly ran over, and as soon as he came to Hong Anque, he hurriedly said, "Childe...... Childe, the people of the Daming Royal Commercial House have raised the price. ”
Hong Anque, who had not yet fallen with laughter, was slightly stunned, and hurriedly asked, "Raise the price, how much?" ”
"It's not...... It's not ......" The steward hurriedly waved his hand again and again: "Childe, they are specifically targeting us to raise the price, but they still sell to those untouchables at that price." ”
"Oh...... How much was mentioned? As soon as he heard this, Hong Anque's face immediately sank.
The steward said with a bitter face: "I mentioned it...... Doubled. The Ming Royal Commercial Bank issued a new rule, saying that it was to allow ordinary people to buy goods, so all small purchases of goods were still according to the original price, but if they were purchased in large quantities, the price would be doubled. ”
"Double the price?
Several shopkeepers in the private room glanced at each other, and Shopkeeper Qiu sneered and said, "It seems that the Daming Royal Commercial House is not all fools, and it actually knows that the price has been raised." ”
Someone else said: "The things they sold before were indeed too cheap, and the price of a good piece of cloth for our purchase cost five dollars of silver, but they only needed two dollars of silver, even if they had a mountain of gold and silver, they couldn't help but toss it like this." ”
"It seems that the people from the Daming Royal Trading House have noticed it, so they want to use this method to force us to stop." Another shopkeeper hesitated and said, "Since it has been noticed by others, why don't we stop it?" ”
"Stop?" Hong Anque, however, sneered: "Why did we stop?" Didn't you say just now, Lao Bai, even if the price is doubled, we still have to make money, since some of them are profitable, we will continue to buy it. Tell the people below not to stop, keep buying! ”
"This ......" the steward hesitated for a moment and asked cautiously, "Young master, this will cost twice as much silver, or let's let the people below pretend to be ordinary people and let them buy less each time, so that we can save a lot of silver." ”
"Stupid!" Hong Anque's annoyance when he heard this, he stood up and kicked at the steward: "Why did our Hong family have such a stupid person!" Do you have the people below pretend to be those untouchables and buy a few feet of cloth and a few catties of old wine each time? When do you have to buy it? ”
As soon as the steward's words came out, he immediately realized that he had said a stupid method, and he didn't dare to dodge when he saw Hong Anque's kicking foot, so he honestly stood in place and didn't move.
The surrounding shopkeepers and housekeepers saw Hong Anque's anger and kicking people, and no one dared to come over to persuade them. Those who are familiar with Hong Anque, don't look at this guy on weekdays, he looks personable, and he has the fame of Xiucai, but in fact, once he turns his face, his temper is unusually irritable, and it is common for him to kick and beat his subordinates.
After kicking the steward a few times in a row, the anger in Hong Anque's heart disappeared a little, and when he saw that the steward was still standing in place motionless, he immediately glared: "What are you still standing here for, why don't you hurry up and do something?" ”
"Yes!"
Hearing Hong Anque's scolding, the steward breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly ran out of the door.
After the steward went out, Hong Anqi turned his head and said to the shopkeepers: "You have to remember, you must keep an eye on their every move in the past few days, we will buy as many things as they throw out, I estimate that it will not take more than four to five days at most, their goods should be exhausted, and the time will come for us to make a fortune." ”
"Hahaha......"
All the shopkeepers laughed, they were all old fritters who had been in business for most of their lives, and of course they knew what Hong Anque meant by making a fortune.
The goods sold by the Daming Royal Commercial Bank this time are of good quality and cheap, and after they sweep away all the goods of the Daming Royal Commercial Bank, the strike plan can continue. As long as the government meets their needs, then when they reopen the market, these goods that they bought at such a cheap price can change hands and make a lot of money, which is a very cost-effective business no matter how you look at it.
Time passed day by day, including the Hong family, the six maritime merchants held back their strength to sweep the goods in the market, and the people of the Ming Royal Commercial House seemed to have not seen it, and when the goods on the counter were sold out, they would immediately put the goods on the shelves again.
And what the Hong family did naturally can't hide from the people around them, in the eyes of the people, this is purely the Ming Dynasty royal business house and the six maritime merchants fighting it, but in the end who wins and who loses is not good, this situation also deepened the people's sense of crisis, so a rush to buy also began to be born, a large number of people began to flock to the counters to start purchasing various items, this situation only lasted for three days, Yang Feng from the modern society brought a variety of materials began to win, Seeing this, the shopkeeper of Qiu Da hurriedly found Yang Feng.
"Boss, we're almost sold out."
"Shopkeeper Qiu, how long can our goods last?"
"It can only last for two more days at most, and if the other party increases the sweeping efforts, it may be one day."
"Hmmm......"
Yang Feng pondered for a while and suddenly smiled: "Shopkeeper Qiu, you will post an announcement tomorrow, but if you purchase our goods in large quantities, the price will be doubled again." ”
"Ah...... "The shopkeeper Qiu was startled, "The owner, that's three times the price." ”
"That's right!" Yang Feng nodded: "Don't they want to sweep the goods, we won't stop them, as long as there is silver, we will sell it to them, and if there is no silver, there is no need to talk about it." ”
"But what about the people?" The shopkeeper of Qiu Da hesitated a little and said: "After the Hong family, the Bai family and several other families on the sea, the people in the city are a little panicked, and now they are hoarding goods, what soy sauce, salt, cloth, and even straw paper are rushing to buy, which also accelerates the consumption of materials, so the villain estimates that the remaining materials we have now are probably only enough for tomorrow's consumption." ”
Yang Feng's face didn't show any worry: "By the way, how much silver have we sold these days." ”
At the mention of silver, a smile appeared on the face of the shopkeeper Qiu Da, who was originally a little worried, "So that the owner can know that our Xiamen alone has sold more than 256,000 taels of silver in the past three days." ”
"Hmm...... I'm afraid most of them were given to us by those maritime merchants, right? ”
"That's more than half of it." The shopkeeper of Qiu Da said: "At least seventy or eighty percent of our goods have been bought by those maritime merchants, otherwise it will not cause panic among the people in the city." ”
"Tsk, those maritime merchants are really rich." Yang Feng smashed his mouth, shook his head and said: "If you add Fuzhou, Quanzhou and other places, I'm afraid that the silver that those people have smashed these days will not be less than a million taels." ”
The shopkeeper Qiu smiled bitterly: "This is also the terrible thing about those century-old families, because no one knows how much silver these people have in their hands after hundreds of years of operation, which is the most frightening thing." ”
Yang Feng smiled, "So what, if they have more silver, can they have more silver than the eight major salt merchants in Yangzhou?" ”
Hearing this, the shopkeeper Qiu couldn't help but smile bitterly, when Yang Feng wanted to sell salt in the south of the Yangtze River, he was collectively boycotted and opposed by the eight major salt merchants in Yangzhou, which annoyed Yang Feng, Yang Feng was angry and led his troops into Yangzhou to bring the eight major salt merchants to a pot, and finally copied out more than 20 million taels of silver, which caused a sensation in the entire Ming Dynasty for a while.
It was only then that the salt merchant fell, and the apocalypse slipped to his heart's content.
