In the trading hall, Kang Chengdong looked at the price on the whiteboard and said to He Kun anxiously: "How can this be?" In a few days, the price of incense dropped so much! As soon as the price fell the day before yesterday, I asked you to sell it, but you dragged it out and didn't sell, and I lost a lot of money! ”

He Kun sighed: "Outside, it's not that I don't want to sell, it's that there is no buyer, who will I sell to?" You see, it's all sold now, and no one buys it, so what? That's how business is, it's useless to rush. ”

Kang Chengdong was so anxious that he turned around: "What is good?" In more than ten days, it will be the end of the year, and I am in a hurry to return to Daizhou for the holiday! ”

He Kun shook his head and spread his hands, indicating that he couldn't help. Now almost all the people who bought incense medicine a few days ago are selling, but there is a lack of big buyers in the market, so they can't sell it at all. A few days ago, when the price was high, the yamen took the opportunity to sell the incense medicine in the warehouse, and the news came out, and the yamen's procurement, which supported everyone's confidence, was self-defeating. Now incense has become something that no one wants.

Yelu didn't spend it and was in a hurry, he didn't care too much about the hundreds of dollars, so he paid the tuition himself. The problem is that the end of the year is approaching, and if you don't have the money to buy some gifts back, you will inevitably be ridiculed. He also wants his family to support him and do some big business.

The two discussed for a while, and Kang Chengdong came back and said to He Kun: "It's already a loss, I admit it!" It's just that my hands are full of incense, and I can't go home, so I have to change some other goods. What the hell can be done, you can say a charter. This time, so many people outside the state have suffered losses, and they all admit it if they don't believe it! ”

He Kun said: "I heard that the heads of several guilds petitioned the yamen together and decided to meet and sign the judgment in Tianqing Tower, which is not far away. You are a merchant from other places, and the guild doesn't care, but you can go over and have a look and inquire about the news. ”

Kang Chengdong said: "Those who buy goods lose money, what is the use of the yamen petition?" Do you still want the government to take out the money? ”

He Kun shook his head: "It is impossible for the yamen to take the money. It's just that this time the chaos was caused by the legend that the yamen bought incense medicine, and in the end, it was the yamen who sold the goods at a high price. The leaders hoped that the yamen would buy some incense as they had said before. ”

Kang Chengdong listened, discussed it with Yelu Buhua, felt that it made sense, and went outside the Azure Building together.

As soon as I arrived at the Azure Tower, I saw that there were many people gathered outside, all dressed brightly, either rich or expensive.

Kang Chengdong pulled a person: "Brother, isn't it from the Yamen today?" It's all out there. ”

The man looked at Kang Chengdong for a while, pouted, and said, "The seats in the restaurant are all occupied by local merchants, so don't we, businessmen from other states, have to wait outside?" Look at you, it's not from this city? ”

Kang Chengdong arched his hand: "Under the surname Kang, he is a businessman in Daizhou." ”

The man nodded, didn't speak, just looked nervously at the second floor of the Azure Building. Kang Chengdong couldn't, so he had to stand in the crowd with Yelu Buhua and inquire about the news inside.

In the small pavilion on the second floor of the Azure Building, a table of banquets was set up, and Du Zhongxiao sat on the top, looking at the people around him.

This incense turmoil involved not only fur merchants, but also many merchants in every guild in the city. The situation has changed in the past few days, and they have already admitted that they have lost money, but now they have goods that cannot be sold, and everyone is panicking. The last few guilds together petitioned the yamen, and Xia Zhu sent Du Zhongxiao to deal with the matter. According to Xia Zhu's thoughts, the Yamen would definitely not let out the advantage they received, and it was okay to buy incense, but it was necessary to do so at a much lower price than usual. Or Du Zhongxiao persuaded that when the news spreads in the spring of next year, there will inevitably be businessmen from other states who come here to buy incense medicine at a low price, and the price will inevitably rise at that time. In the end, incense is still hard currency, as long as the price is right, the yamen will not lose money when they buy it.

persuaded Du Zhongxiao to drink a glass of wine, and said coldly: "Official, the merchants here in the fur yard now, because they have hoarded a lot of incense medicine a few days ago, lack of money in their hands, and the fur business has been affected a lot. In our city, how many families rely on the fur business to eat, but it is not possible to go on like this. The yamen must find a way to solve this dilemma. ”

Du Zhongxiao said lightly: "What is the impact?" The price of fur is stable, so they can just do business with peace of mind. ”

Leng Yuanwai sighed: "Everyone's money is occupied by the stock of incense medicines, and they can't sell it, and they can't collect raw hides, how can they do business?" ‘

Du Zhongxiao said: "It's okay, there is no hide, the yamen can give them credit, as long as you pay the interest." “

The cold clerk was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that there was still a large amount of fur stock in the yamen, which should not have been sold a few days ago. This is good, give the fur to the merchant on credit, and you can also earn a wave of interest. However, Leng Yuan's mind is not here, and he wants to sell the incense medicine quickly. Just like the price skyrocketed a few days ago, it began to plummet in the past two days. Seeing the money in his hand shrinking, who can stand it?

Hongfu channel on the side: "Official, the yamen can give fur on credit, but in our workshop, craftsmen have money, buy nitrate and water, and they can't lack money, so what can we do?" The most important thing now is the incense medicine in the hands of the people in the city, and it needs to be sold quickly. ”

Du Zhongxiao sighed: "It's easy for you to say, but is the money in the yamen spent casually?" The price of the purchase is high, and the transshipment makes the company check the accounts, how can I explain it? This year, the fur business in the state has been done, and the momentum is not small, and the transshipment has made the department check the accounts several times! ”

The cold clerk hurriedly said: "The price is not high, and now the price of incense medicine outside is already the lowest time this year!" ”

Du Zhongxiao shook his head: "But the price is still dropping!" I don't buy the dip, but I buy when the price drops halfway, how do I account for it? If someone has a heart to play a concert, how can I tell the difference? ”

The cold clerk said with a bitter face: "The officials are pitiful, if the price drops further, all the money we make in a year will be lost!" ”

"Doing business, buying low and selling high, it's normal for people to do business. You all understand this truth, isn't it common to lose money if you read the wrong market? Come, and have a glass of wine! Wine is a good medicine for worries, get drunk and ignore these mundane things! ”

Seeing Du Zhongxiao raise his glass, which of the businessmen was willing to drink, they begged bitterly.

Hongfu channel: "It was said that the yamen wanted to buy incense and sell furs, so everyone hoarded incense together, thinking about making a fortune. In the end, the yamen didn't buy it, and threw out their own incense, officials, and it hurt us small people! This matter was originally caused by the Yamen, and in the end, we can't be left alone! I finally bought the incense back, and we admitted the money we lost, and kept a capital. ”

Du Zhongxiao turned his face and said: "If the yamen wants to buy incense, you will hoard goods and raise the price." Profiteer! Is it to pit the yamen's money? If it weren't for your greed and raising the price of the incense, where would there be so many things! ”

Hong Futong's face turned pale with fright, and he knelt on the ground with a "poof", hugged Du Zhongxiao's leg and said: "It's a small moment of lard blindfolding, making a mistake and doing something wrong." If you don't remember the old evils, let's buy our incense medicine, and the little ones will have a peaceful year! ”

Seeing that Du Zhongxiao's expression softened, the other merchants winked at each other, knelt down one after another, and begged bitterly.

After a stalemate for a while, Du Zhongxiao sighed: "Alas, let's all get up." You are the people of this state, and the governor and I are soft-hearted after all, and we can't see the people suffering. It's not that you can't buy your incense, but I want to avoid rumors and can't buy it at market price. ”

The cold officer gritted his teeth: "The official offers money, as long as we still have a mouthful of food to eat, we will definitely agree!" ”

Seeing everyone nodding, Du Zhongxiao pondered for a while and said, "According to the current market outside, the price will fall." In this way, take the current market outside as the market price, make a 20% discount, and the yamen will accept your incense. Sell what you want, and sell what you don't want. But to make it clear, there is a lot of money in the yamen, and there is no guarantee that you will buy it all, so you can do it yourself. ”

The crowd was silent for a moment. The market price is discounted by 20%, those who are unwilling to lose money can not sell, and those who are in urgent need of money can be sold, of course, most people will choose to sell part of it and keep part of it. With this purchase, it's time for the price to stop falling and come back up.
