Chapter 867 Intervention in the Market
In the face of the chatter of the merchants.
Su Qinglian was still calm and turned a blind eye to everyone's complaints.
Ladies and gentlemen!
She slowly stood up and said with a smile: "Do you think the ban is blocking your money?" β
Needless to say?
Everyone couldn't help but complain a little.
It is natural to buy low and sell at a high price.
Now that prices are rising steadily, they have hoarded a lot of material in their hands, and it is time to make a big profit.
The Chamber of Commerce suddenly issued a ban on sales, and stipulated that it could not be sold at a premium.
Isn't this blocking everyone's financial path?
However, most of the businessmen are duplicitous, and even if they are blocked from making money, they can't say it directly, so they all come to the Chamber of Commerce to pour bitter water.
There is a situation where you will go bankrupt if you don't sell at a premium.
"President Su, we don't expect to get rich, but the government can't let us lose our money. If that's really the case, we will have to leave Yunzhou. β
One of the tall fat men said.
He is Zong Sheng, the shopkeeper of Changsheng, and he can be regarded as the elder of Yunzhou.
Not bad!
As soon as Zong Sheng opened his mouth, everyone said yes one after another, and immediately stood on the united front.
Hehe!
Su Qinglian just smiled faintly.
As a businessman, she naturally understands the tricks of these people.
They are just tied up to talk to the Chamber of Commerce about the conditions, Yunzhou is such a good place, even if they are driven away, they will not leave.
Boss Zong!
Su Qinglian's gaze fell on him, and said meaningfully: "If the concubine is not mistaken, you Changsheng began to buy goods on the market on a large scale before the price of goods increased. When prices don't rise, naturally there is no talk of high-priced purchases. On the contrary, it is because Changsheng took the lead in hoarding, which caused the rise in prices in Yunzhou. β
Zong Sheng's face flushed.
This is the sorrow of an insider, Su Qinglian, who was born in a businessman, naturally knows their methods, so in front of Su Qinglian, they can't hide it at all.
"President Su!"
He said in a low voice: "You are also from a business background, so you naturally know the hardships of our businessmen. We have hundreds of people up and down for a long time, and we still have a lot of expenses every year. I, the shopkeeper, should I find some way to make money, what do those guys eat, what do their families eat? I'm also forced to be helpless! β
Not bad!
Everyone hurriedly played sloppy.
"President Su is also an insider, so he naturally knows the pressure of businessmen. If we don't make money, we'll all have to drink the northwest wind. β
If you are deceived, you will start playing the emotional card.
Anyway, the Su family is also a businessman, so they don't believe it, Su Qinglian can treat everyone equally, and they won't let the Su family sell it at a high price.
Is it?
The smile on Su Qinglian's face remained unchanged, and said: "The general doesn't mean to cut off everyone's wealth, we in Yunzhou have rarely intervened in the market over the years?" I also turn a blind eye to everyone's small actions. When you make money, the general doesn't do much to you. β
Yes, yes, yes!
Hearing Su Qinglian say this, everyone said yes.
Whenever there is a shortage of goods, merchants also join forces to raise prices, as long as it is not too excessive, the government also turns a blind eye.
When the water is clear, there are no fish!
The Yunzhou government is also aware of this, so it has not gone too far.
"President Su, the general really doesn't have anything to say to us!"
Zong Sheng said sincerely: "This is also the reason why we are willing to stay in Yunzhou, Yunzhou needs stability, and we know it." We can guarantee that the price of basic substances will not rise, but the rest will be left alone! β
The basic material is nothing more than food.
Because Yunzhou has abundant grain reserves, they do not dare to use their brains, and the Zhang family of Yuyang, who was once rich and rivaled the country, took advantage of the rebellion in Yunzhou to copy the price of grain, and finally was ruined.
It's only been a few years since this incident, and they have always remembered it vividly, so no one in Yunzhou dares to fight the idea of grain.
Because food is related to the life and death of the people, this is the bottom line of Yunzhou, and those who dare to offend will be punished.
But in addition to food, there are many necessities, and this can also be hyped up.
In previous years, businessmen hyped up, as long as it wasn't too much, Guo Jia didn't pay much attention to it.
This time coincided with the rainy season and the war, and several major merchants were ready to make a comeback, only to be told not to sell at a premium.
This time, their financial route was cut off, so they came to the Chamber of Commerce to ask for an explanation.
After all, over the years, Yunzhou has never intervened in commodities other than grain.
"Yes, yes, the president will go and talk to the general, and the rest of the matter will be opened!"
The crowd chimed in.
Ladies and gentlemen!
Su Qinglian raised her voice: "This time is extraordinary, Yunzhou is facing a big battle. What the great general needs is a stable Yunzhou. At this time, who dares to raise prices, that is, they can't get along with the general, what do you say the general should do? β
That's a bit heavy.
The merchants did not dare to speak.
In fact, they also quarreled in the Chamber of Commerce, and if they really let them go to the government to theorize, they didn't dare.
Guo Jia is not easy to mess with, the little prince of the Huns did evil in Yunzhou back then, and Guo Jia killed him without thinking about it.
Some time ago, a businessman offended Guo Jia and was cut by him on the spot.
Death to the murderer!
This is the iron law of Yunzhou, but Guo Jia is the maker of the iron law, who dares to track him down?
The results of the investigation were also more than innocent.
If they annoy the general, they won't be able to eat and go away.
That's it, that's it!
Count them unlucky, if they don't let them sell at a premium, they will evaluate and sell, and it is nothing to suffer a loss, just consider it as a contribution to Yunzhou.
Although the crowd is no longer shouting, there is also a lack of joy in their hearts.
Su Qing looked at it in her eyes.
The impact of government intervention in prices is very bad, and once the effect is formed, it will lose the support of the people.
"Everyone!"
She suddenly said in a loud voice: "I also said before, this is what the general asked. Since it was he who asked for it, we all complied with it. He owes us a face. The general's personality is also clear, and he will naturally not treat you badly in the future. β
Yes, yes, yes!
Everyone said yes.
Anyone can say this kind of clichΓ©, but they are indeed the ones who are suffering at the moment.
Su Qinglian threw a bombshell again.
"In order to make up for everyone's losses, my Su family is willing to buy the materials in everyone's hands at cost price, and collect as much as you want. Let you do the things that make money in the future, and how about we do the things that lose money? β
What the?
Hearing this, everyone froze.
Everyone has hoarded a large amount of materials in their hands, and after the government does not allow them to sell at a premium, everyone wants to throw away the inventory in their hands, and the price naturally begins to fall. It's already lower than the cost price for many people.
Now the Su family actually dares to take over?
Is it a discovery of conscience, or is it self-denial?
