Kang Chengdong and Yelu Buhua went to the trading hall, found He Kun, and said to him: "We asked in Bingzhou City in the past two days, and sure enough, the furs were traded as you said. In that case, I will sign a contract with you and sell the fur for me. ”

He Kun was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "I don't know how much fur there is outside?" What kind of goods do you want to exchange? ”

Kang Chengdong said: "When I first came to Bingzhou to do business, I didn't bring too much, only less than 2,000 raw hides. After selling, exchange more pearls and incense. I have a list here with the goods to be exchanged, and you can take it and buy it. ”

He Kun took the list and looked at it, and shook his head: "Why do you buy so many incense medicines?" The price of incense medicine has skyrocketed in the past two days, and it is not a good time to buy, so it is better to exchange for some other goods. It is like silk silk and the like, which is much more cost-effective. ”

Kang Chengdong said: "I was fine two days ago, why did the price of incense go up all of a sudden?" ”

He Kun sighed: "I heard that there are too many furs in each library in the state, and they are distributed to the soldiers as a salary, which causes dissatisfaction among everyone. In order to appease the anger of the people, the yamen sold large quantities of furs and bought incense. The fur business in the city is one out of ten in the state, and the fur in the treasury is mountainous. When it is released, it will naturally drive down the price. Fortunately, there were many merchants who did fur business in Bingzhou, and there were goods yards to store them, so they bought stocks one after another. However, with so many fur perfumes and not many perfumes, the price went up suddenly. Alas, the yamen was in a hurry to do this, and we were also caught off guard. ”

"How's that for good? I don't know how much the price of incense has risen? ”

He Kun said: "In just one or two days, it has more than doubled, and it is still rising today." Looking at the whiteboard over there, the price of incense is now changing once every hour, and it is rising when I see it. ”

Kang Chengdong listened, turned to Yelu Buhua and said, "Lang Jun, how is this good?" The price of incense has skyrocketed, and now I will not suffer a loss if I buy it? ”

Yelu Buhua was a little annoyed, he didn't want to encounter this kind of thing, so he gritted his teeth and said: "Look at the New Year's close, I'm going to buy it back and give it away, and I have to buy it if the price goes up!" It's really unfavorable for the passing years, and I actually encountered such a dirty thing! ”

At this moment, a person dressed like He Kun came over and said to He Kun: "Brother, do you still have incense medicine in your hand?" I bought it together with a few big people here, and there is really no supply! I'm really anxious to die, I can't do this business, and I have a lot less money for nothing! ”

He Kun said: "Now outside the big people in the city, everyone is Tunxiang medicine, I have a little supply in my hand, I can only take care of my own business, where is the extra land for you?" As the saying goes, the cloud buys up and doesn't buy down, these big people are all human spirits, but they suffer us. ”

Kang Chengdong listened to it and said: "Since the price of incense has skyrocketed, why are so many people still buying it?" It's not urgent, won't you wait for the price to drop before buying? If it weren't for my real usefulness, I wouldn't have changed the fragrance this time. ”

He Kun laughed when he heard this: "Outside, if you think like this, you are not a businessman." The yamen collects incense medicine, which is set by the governor of the state, and the amount must be collected enough. In addition to these big people, they bought the incense medicine in the yard, and there was no supply, so the price naturally rose endlessly. You see, in just a day or two, the price has doubled, how easy is this money? ”

Kang Chengdong's eyes lit up: "There is still such a thing? Isn't it now that everyone is stocking up on goods? ”

"Of course. Fortunately, now that the New Year is approaching, foreign merchants are in a hurry to go home for the New Year, and the incense in their hands must be sold, otherwise there will be no supply in the yard for a long time. It's like picking up money on the ground, who would miss it? ”

Kang Chengmo's eyes rolled, and he said: "In this way, the price skyrocketed this time because the yamen purchased incense medicine?" Then when they buy enough, won't the price of the incense drop again? At that time, the inventory was a loss of money. ”

He Kun said: "That's it, this kind of business depends on eyesight and courage. As soon as the news came out, he dared to act decisively and sold it before the price fell. If you do it well, the money you earn in a few days can catch up with others for a lifetime. ”

Kang Chengdong couldn't help but smack his tongue when he heard this, he worked hard to sell 2,000 sheepskins, and he didn't know how much effort he had took. First organize the supply of goods from the Khitan, set it with people, and then go to the field together, apply for public documents, and finally transport them to Bingzhou. After a few months of hard work, it was only a few hundred dollars. And outside the big people in Bingzhou City, as long as they see the right time, one in and one out, they will earn a day or two of hard work.

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, Kang Chengdong whispered to Yelu Buhua: "It's rare to encounter such an opportunity, Lang Jun, why don't we stay for three or five more days and replace all the sheepskins with incense." You don't need to be greedy, you can stop when you earn twice as much, and you can have a good year. ”

Yelu Buhua was already ready to move, and nodded again and again: "Okay, good, that's how it should be!" ”

In Du Zhongxiao's living room, Xia Guimei smiled. Seeing Du Zhongxiao coming in, he hurriedly stood up and said, "This plan to sign a judgment is really powerful!" Just this morning, the price of incense in the yard has doubled, and it is still rising! ”

Du Zhongxiao smiled: "Director, since it has risen, have you sold the incense medicine before?" ”

Xia Gui shook his head again and again: "The price is rising like crazy, how can it be sold?" A few more days, it's more than I've earned in a year's hard work! With this amount of money, Xianggong's family can have a good year, and it can be seen that I am capable. Sign the judgment, I don't have to work hard in the future, as long as I sit in the city of Bingzhou, so that I can make a lot of money by buying and selling! ”

Du Zhongxiao sighed: "Director, people are expensive and content, and when it is time to stop, you can really make money." Once the market reverses, the goods in your hand will smash yourself. A few days ago, I also stocked up on some incense, and I will sell them all today and tomorrow. ”

Xia Gui was stunned: "Why are you in such a hurry?" Why not wait a few days for the price to go up a little more? Anyway, as long as the news that the yamen wants to collect incense is there, there will be stockpiled goods, and there is no worry about not being able to sell them. Sitting at home, you can make money, how can you not do such a good thing? ”

Du Zhongxiao smiled and shook his head: "Director, in fact, this kind of money shouldn't be earned." It's just that there are too many furs in the arsenal, and it is difficult to sell them without some means, so I do this kind of trick. If you want to make money from the freight yard for a long time, you must ensure the stability of the market, and you are most afraid of ups and downs. The yamen is in charge of all the teeth, and also manages the inventory of the freight yard, as well as countless military depots and materials, and it is really easy to manipulate prices. However, there was always an approximate amount of money to be made from these transactions, and the yamen went down and scraped all the money into their own hands, and the merchants could not make money, and the fur business could not continue. This is like cutting leeks, it must be just right, and fertilize from time to time to have long-term benefits. ”

Where did Xia Gui understand this, but said disappointedly: "According to the signing judgment, this money can only be earned once?" Alas, alas! ”

Du Zhongxiao said with a smile: "The freight yard is there, how can you only make it once, but you can't be so ruthless in the future." The supervisor knew a lot of people in the yamen, and he could inquire about everything. According to the current regulations of the freight yard, as long as the tooth person places an order, there is no need to buy and sell the goods, and you can make money by relying on price changes. ”

Xia Gui thought about it, he had Xia Zhu as a backer, and he could indeed inquire about any news. But when it comes to grasping price trends, I always feel that I can't do it. patted his head and sighed: "At this time, I realized that my head was a little insufficient, and I would have to sign a judgment in the future." ”

Du Zhongxiao smiled and shook his head secretly, Xia Gui still had the same thinking of selling goods, and he couldn't keep up with the rhythm of merging states. The current Yaren system, coupled with the fact that the goods are in the freight yard, local merchants do not deliver, and they can make money by doing business just by price. The Yamen is well-informed and can foresee short-term price fluctuations of goods, and there is always an opportunity to buy low and sell high. People like Du Zhongxiao and Xia Gui can take advantage of this convenience to do speculative business by hitchhiking. Just like this time, the price of incense medicine skyrocketed and plummeted, and Du Zhongxiao also made a lot of money.

Xia Zhu wanted to sell the furs in the military arsenal and exchange them for light goods such as gold, silver, incense, and medicine. Du Zhongxiao was afraid that as soon as the news was released, the price of fur in the market would plummet, causing the loss of government property, and he would take responsibility, so he first manipulated a speculation in incense.

Du Zhongxiao first let out the rumor that the yamen wanted to exchange furs for perfume, and then a large number of furs from the military arsenal were transported to the freight yard. It is said that the furs were sold, and the market price did not fluctuate much, but in fact, there was not much trading. In the past few days, Du Zhongxiao used the fur he sold, but he didn't actually buy incense, and all the purchases were gold and silver. The reason why there is a shortage of incense medicine is that it takes advantage of the convenience of controlling the tooth people to eliminate a large number of incense medicines from the account.

The daily trading goods are displayed on the whiteboard in the trading hall. In a short period of time, a large number of incense medicines were suddenly out of stock, rumors spread, and the price skyrocketed, so that big merchants entered the stockpile. Taking advantage of the opacity of the transaction information of the tooth people, the goods were quietly transferred. It turned out that the owner of the incense medicine thought that it was sold before the price skyrocketed, but in fact it was transferred to the stockpiling merchant after the price skyrocketed. With this price difference alone, the cost of a large amount of fur accumulated in the yard comes out, and it can be sold slowly at a later date.

At this point, Du Zhongxiao's goal has been achieved, and he will not lose money by disposing of the fur inventory of the military treasury by himself. At this time, taking advantage of the high price of incense medicine in the market, the incense medicine in several warehouses of the yamen quietly entered the market and sold at a high price. As for when the price bubble of incense medicine will burst in the future, it has nothing to do with Du Zhongxiao. Anyway, the yamen will not buy when the price is high, and sooner or later the businessmen will find out that the basis for speculation is gone.

The lines at the end of this turmoil, Du Zhongxiao have already thought about it. It was nothing more than that the fur was originally going to be exchanged for perfume, but someone in the yamen leaked the news, causing the price to skyrocket, and the transaction was not cost-effective, so the yamen did not buy it.

There is this kind of trading market, there is this kind of speculation, but the government should not end up. Du Zhongxiao did this time, so he had to find a way to plug the loopholes in the system, so that latecomers could not do the same thing. Small speculation can neither be done nor prohibited.
