Chapter 140: A dilemma
Taihesheng Tea raised the purchase price of tea by two dollars! As soon as the wooden sign was hung out, the whole tea market was jubilant, and the price of tea skyrocketed all the way so that the vast majority of people were full of confidence in the tea market. Sit and wait for the price one by one! There is no tea in their hands, but they are afraid of missing this rare opportunity to make money, and many people began to rush to buy it.
A group of big tea merchants who have been instructed by Huang Zichang, president of the Tea Industry Association, and are actively preparing to sell a large number of tea leaves in their hands, also hesitated when they saw this situation, the price of tea rose too fast, only half an hour before and after, that is, the difference between hundreds and thousands of taels, how could they not hesitate?
Huang Zichang is not in the Tea Industry Association, but in a business opposite the Taihesheng Tea No., he stayed in this place naturally in order to be able to grasp the movements of the Shunde silk merchants in a timely manner, whether the Shunde silk merchants can be firmly set in the tea market, for the Tea Industry Association, it is too important, he dare not have the slightest neglect.
Hearing that the price of tea had risen by two dollars, he couldn't help but curse secretly, needless to say, it must be that the tea merchants were too eager and were noticed by the other party, otherwise why would the price increase be so fast? It seems that Yi Zhi's judgment is good, the other party's move is obviously a number of ways to pull and throw, and it must be suppressed quickly, otherwise the situation will be out of control.
"Mr. Huang." The two big tea merchants hurriedly walked in and said, "The price of tea has risen sharply, is it a little slow?" ”
"Slow?" Huang Zichang raised his eyes and glanced at the two of them, and said, "Others don't know, don't you know either?" When you are selling a lot, why is the other party in a hurry to increase the price? ”
Hearing this, the two tea merchants couldn't help but sigh, indeed, this is unreasonable, without waiting for the two to speak, Huang Zichang continued: "The other party has two purposes, one is to slow down the speed of your selling, and the other is to stimulate market sentiment and attract everyone to follow the trend and rush to buy, I am afraid that the other party has not much silver in hand......." ”
As soon as he heard that the other party might not have much money in hand, the two tea merchants were like burning their buttocks, and they gave up their hands slightly, and then turned around and left, but Huang Zichang shouted: "Wait, don't sell it in a swarm, otherwise you will kill yourself, and the shopkeeper Fan will stay first..." ”
Hearing this, another tea merchant hurriedly bowed down and left quickly, now is not the time to be polite and humble, once the other party is not enough silver, can not eat so much tea, the price of tea will fall, at this time polite and humble is simply with the silver can not get by.
"Someone." Huang Zichang shouted to the outside world.
The steward of a tea guild walked in quickly, bowed down and said, "What does the president command?" ”
Huang Zichang said in a deep voice: "Immediately call those tea merchants back." ”
"Yes." The steward bowed, then turned and walked away quickly.
"Mr. Huang." Shopkeeper Fan said tentatively: "There are still some tea numbers outside that are also being purchased, can you sell tea to them?" ”
For those speculators and small and medium-sized tea merchants who don't know whether to live or die, and dare to buy tea with Shunde silk merchants, Huang Zichang didn't bother at all, but he didn't want to blame them. ”
Before the words fell, a steward hurriedly came in and reported: "There has been a significant increase in the number of businesses that have been listed to buy tea from outside, and there are as many as thirty or forty. ”
"I don't know if I'm alive or dead." Huang Zichang muttered, then frowned, and informed those who participated in the rush to buy will inevitably alarm the Shunde silk merchants, and the tea in hand of the big tea merchants will not be able to sell, without notifying, the Shunde silk merchants will transfer the tea to the participants in the rush to buy, which is a dilemma.
The lesser of two evils, no matter how you do, you can't let Shunde silk merchants get out! Huang Zichang quickly said in a deep voice: "Immediately send someone to urgently notify the businesses involved in the rush to buy, if you don't want to lose all your money, don't rush to buy tea, and tell them clearly that it is the Shunde silk merchants who are stirring up the wind and rain in the tea market." ”
The news soon spread, the Tea Association came forward in person, and the people did not believe it, and the speculators and small and medium-sized tea merchants who were still rejoicing seemed to be poured down by a basin of cold water, and they were cold from head to foot in an instant, and for a time the people in the tea market were panicked and discussed.
The most lively place is the Taihesheng tea, the whole business is crowded with people inside and out, are in a hurry to sell tea, everyone is anxious, the only thing that makes them a little more at ease is that the Taihesheng tea has not stopped acquiring, but the speed of acquisition has slowed down significantly, and it is not generally slow.
In the backyard of Taihesheng Tea, He Shutai said with a wry smile: "The other party is clearly not allowing us to get out...... ”
Chen Jiawang asked a little anxiously: "The two leaders should come up with an idea, now the outside is crowded with people, all of them are here to sell tea, do you want to close the door?" ”
"What's the hurry?" Wang Chao glanced at him and said, "Go and tell the outside, try to drag it first, and postpone the payment of silver." As he spoke, he looked at He Shutai and said, "Brother Zi'an, is there a way to deal with it?" ”
"Not at the moment, but I don't think we can close the door, and once it closes, there is no room for maneuver." He Shutai said slowly: "Delay is not a way, I think it is better to reduce the price, to twenty-two taels, no one is willing to sell at this price, and it will naturally be clean." ”
Wang Chao glanced at him and said, "What will happen if we continue to make a large number of acquisitions at this price?" ”
Are you kidding? He Shutai looked at him in surprise, seeing that his face was solemn, not like a joke, he had to seriously consider his proposal, Wang Chaoyi did not urge him, shook a big pu fan, and waited patiently.
After a long silence, He Shutai spoke: "The current market is in a panic, if we continue to buy a large number of people at the current price, we are afraid that we will have to eat 80,000 to 100,000 quintals to stabilize people's hearts." Speaking of this, he paused and said, "What's the matter, Xun Zhi wants to swallow the tea under the control of the Tea Guild?" ”
"Not bad." Wang Chao shook his head and said: "Without tea in the hands of the Tea Guild, it will no longer be able to disrupt our plans, and you have also seen the situation today, if there is no Tea Industry Guild to make trouble, we can get out safely." ”
Hearing this, He Shutai was really a little moved, and he groaned slightly, and then he said, "Have you thought about it?" After eating another 100,000 loads, we won't have much silver on hand...... ”
"After eating another 100,000 quintals, how much tea is left in the market?" Wang Chaoyi said disapprehantly: "The less tea leaves outside, the easier it will be to pull them up, and another million will be enough." ”
After being silent for a while, He Shutai said: "I'm afraid it's not that simple, today it seems that it's just the Tea Guild that suppresses it, but Yuan Qi has no movement, but don't forget, it's not the Tea Industry Association that really wants to swallow us in one bite, but Yuan Qi!" ”
