Shunde, south of the city, Ying'en Bridge.

Shunde city south is the most prosperous, South Gate City, Xiahekou City, Yingenqiao City, Fuboqiao City are almost connected, among which Yingenqiao City is the most lively, after eating morning tea, easy to be content with Xie Xiuyuan accompanied by all the way to Yingenqiao nearby.

Yi Zhifen came to Shunde this time, one is to integrate Shunde money bank, the other is to inspect the silk reeling market, to prepare for the opening of the machine silk reeling factory next year, Yingenqiao City is very lively, but all the way down, there are not many fresh cocoons for sale, there are a lot of raw silk, after shopping for a while, he couldn't help asking: "Is there a special fresh cocoon market?" ”

Xie Xiuyuan smiled when he heard this, and said: "The big shopkeeper doesn't know, after the people raise silkworms and pick cocoons, the skilled ones will reel silk and weave silk by themselves, or sell raw silk, or sell silk satin, and those who are not familiar with the craft will sell fresh cocoons, but they are mostly sold to silk reeling workshops. ”

That is to say, has not yet formed a cocoon city, Yi Zhizu frowned, so that next year, open a machine reeling silk factory, the purchase of fresh cocoons, I am afraid that it will be a lot of money, to compete for silkworm cocoons from silkworm households and silk reeling workshops, the price increase is not small, he is not afraid of normal competition, he is worried about smashing people's jobs, stirring up contradictions, it seems that the previous precautions are correct, and the machine silk reeling factory is inseparable from the assistance of Shunde silk merchants.

Since there are few cocoons, he will pay attention to the raw silk, this year's temperature is low, the spring cocoons are late, but the first two batches of spring cocoons reeling out of the raw silk has been listed, all the way to ask the price, a little better raw silk price in one, two, five or six, the second one, two, two, three, this price is a little low, obviously affected.

Xie Xiuyuan explained softly: "As the saying goes, the price of a catty of silk is slightly higher than the price of a stone of rice, and now the price of a catty of silk is slightly lower than the price of a stone of rice, compared with last year, the price of silk has fallen by two percent." ”

It seems that Xie Xiuyuan has been working raw silk these days when he came to Shunde, Yi Zhizhi groaned for a while, and then said: "The price of raw silk has fallen, will the silk reeling be affected?" ”

"It didn't make much of a difference." Xie Xiuyuan said: "The price of raw silk has fallen, and the silk reeling workshop can lower the price of fresh cocoons and reduce the number of purchases, but silkworm farmers can not reel silk, and it is impossible to watch the fresh cocoons break. ”

The two walked around the market, returned to the branch, washed up slightly, sat down in the inner hall, and drank a cup of herbal tea, Yi Zhizhi said: "The news that a large amount of money from Shunde silk merchants was trapped in the Guangzhou tea market has spread. ”

Xie Xiuyuan nodded and said: "It has spread, and many foreign silk merchants have rushed to Shunde in the past two days, but they don't seem to be in a hurry to buy raw silk, thinking that they are waiting for a large number of raw silk to be listed, and the price will fall further." ”

Yi Zhizhi lit a cigar and said slowly: "Shunde silk merchants have a huge amount of money in the Guangzhou tea market, after these few days, the news has spread around, everyone will expect that the price of raw silk in Shunde will plummet, and silk merchants from other provinces will inevitably flock to ......." ”

After a slight pause, he said with a smile: "Send someone to inform Kong Jian'an, and he will count the detailed exchange situation of the Shanxi ticket number in Guangzhou every day, and then send someone to send it to Shunde by speedboat."

A huge amount of money from Shunde silk merchants was trapped in the Guangzhou Tea Market, but how much is the huge amount of money? I'm afraid that few people know, and when Kong Jian'an released the news, he said that the tea market was trapped in the Shunde silk merchants' 11 million funds.

In addition, Kong Jian'an and Liang Jiemin convened a meeting of the branch shopkeepers, and all large loans must strictly implement the guarantee and mortgage system, and all shareholders must also follow this system, and no one is exempt. ”

Xie Xiuyuan's heart jumped, the big shopkeeper is trying to bait the sharp drop in the price of raw silk in Shunde, and strangle silk merchants from other provinces? This is not the Guangzhou Tea Market! After a little hesitation, he said: "The Shunde raw silk market is different from the Guangzhou tea market, I am afraid that it is not easy to manipulate, one raw silk export amount is not large, and the other is that the price of raw silk is high, and silk merchants may not buy it." ”

Yi Zhifen smiled and said: "We have mobilized nearly 10 million cash to Shunde, which is the largest dealer in Shunde's raw silk market.

If you are a silk merchant who is familiar with the Shunde raw silk market, and you hear that the huge amount of money of the Shunde silk merchant is trapped in the tea market, what is your first reaction? ”

"The price of raw silk in Shunde will fall sharply."

"And then?"

"It's a rare opportunity, so it's natural to take advantage of this opportunity to buy in large quantities...... To buy a large amount, the principal is insufficient, borrow a large amount of money from the bank, and then rush to Shunde. ”

Yi Zhifen said with a smile: "When you go to Shunde, the price of raw silk has not fallen, but has risen by 20% compared with last year, how will you decide?" ”

"Then it depends on whether it is still profitable." Xie Xiuyuan frowned, and said with a bitter face: "If there is still a small profit, then you have to buy it hard, and the borrowed silver has to repay the interest, and the small profit is better than returning empty-handed." Speaking of this, he couldn't help but smile and said, "The big shopkeeper is only going to make a small profit this time?" ”

"The requirements are not high, and three percent of the benefits are enough." Yi Zhizhi took a puff of his cigar, slowly spit it out, and said: "We are not here to suppress the price of raw silk this time, on the contrary, we are here to save the market, we can't let the raw silk collapse, next year to open a machine silk reeling factory in Shunde, the efficiency of the machine silk reeling factory is high, and the demand for silkworm cocoons is large, therefore, we have to support the price of raw silk and not discourage the enthusiasm of silkworm farmers."

Although it is a bailout, but we can't lose money, not only can't lose, but also must earn, Yuanqi is now expanding rapidly, we need to stabilize people's hearts, we can't lose, we can't afford to lose! ”

Speaking of this, he paused slightly, and said: "You spread the details of the Shunde silk merchants' quilts in the Xiguan Tea Market and the current situation, and directly said that their losses this time are at least sixty percent or more, and the time to untie them will be delayed until October, when the peak season of maritime trade is over."

This news spreads, will inevitably cause panic, the price of raw silk will further decline, we do not need to continue to wait and see, after the news spread, began to buy, starting from the silk reeling workshop, whether it is raw silk or silk, are collected, however, don't collect too obviously, when the low price is absorbed, it must be concealed and low-key.... ”

Before he finished speaking, a man reported at the door: "The big shopkeeper, there are two silk merchants who are out asking to see him." ”

Listening to the silk merchant asked to see, easy to smile contentedly, with him to Shunde Yiyuan silk satin Xingli shopkeeper thought that he would already transfer to Guangzhou, there is a shortage of silk merchants who are familiar with the Shunde raw silk market.

Xie Xiuyuan got up and took the post and looked at it, and said with a smile: "It's He Shutai and Wang Chaoyi, their news is really spiritual, has the big shopkeeper seen them?" ”
