Chapter 379: Lingzhou Dilemma

Han Qi didn't know that his so-called sweet troubles had been solved by Zhao Xin, and he was still having a headache about this, and any solution to this problem, how to raise the largest amount of funds in a short period of time was what he needed to do at present.

For this reason, he even put down his position as a nobleman, and personally implemented one small part after another, and even some businessmen's inquiries would patiently explain.

It seems to be a bit of a loss of face, but in fact, at Han Qi's level, face is not important, but there is a priority.

Under the premise of the development of Lingzhou, the sale of these cattle and horses is the most important thing, and these businessmen have become a must-have.

After paying so much, it was acceptable for Han Qi, and here in the northwest, when the news was transmitted to Han Qi one by one, he was very satisfied with the development of things.

More than 1.5 million livestock, including 200,000 horses, and 300,000 cattle, conservatively estimated, is more than 20 million, these may not be able to all be sold, but the Chamber of Commerce that has participated in this auction, the funds that can be mobilized, are as high as 12 million, plus some retail investors, is expected to be able to deal 6 percent.

What does sixty percent represent, the total transaction volume, may exceed 15 million, this is a huge wealth, which can not be compared with the auction of the Daimyo Mansion in the past, but the pattern of the Northwest cannot be compared with the Daimyo Mansion, not to mention 20 million, even if it is a few million Guan funds, it is enough to make the work of Lingzhou go smoothly.

When more and more chambers of commerce decided to participate in this Weizhou transaction, Han Qi had more ideas, a trade fair involving millions of livestock, it was definitely not a day or two to carry out, even if these things were divided into different categories and traded in an overall way, it was impossible, this time would drag on for several months.

The price of horses in the Northern Song Dynasty did not have huge price changes like other products, and basically the price in various places did not differ too much, the reason is very simple, that is, freight.

Ordinary goods, may go 2000 miles, the price will increase a lot, but for horses, the horse itself is a means of transportation, can travel quickly, ordinary people a day up to 50 miles, but horses go 200 miles, it is not a problem.

Under the speed, the cost of rushing is quite low, and if it is really worse than ten or twenty times, there will inevitably be people doing business in various parts of the Northern Song Dynasty, and where there are interests, there will naturally be people paying attention.

Under the long-term equilibrium, the price of horses is relatively fixed, and the fluctuations are small, and the difference between one or two or two, or even four or five is still there.

The types of horses in the Northern Song Dynasty are divided into different categories, the worst, that is, the horses of the Northern Song Dynasty, are mostly congenitally underdeveloped, and the horse breeds are relatively low-level, and this kind of horse cannot even be used as a long-distance trafficking horse, but more is taken back as a ploughing horse.

These horses, can only be trafficked for a short time, at most as farmland to cultivate animal power, even this kind of horse, is far more expensive than cattle, up to about 30 guan, slightly better, the standard of the Northern Song Dynasty good horses, in 50-70 guan, as for the real Xixia horse and Liao horse, basically more than 120 guan.

In the relationship of large quantities, Han Qi positioned the pricing of this batch of Xixia horses at an average of 100 guan, which is not a very high number, on the contrary, it is quite attractive, which is one of the reasons why it is more attractive to buyers in addition to the quantity.

The total amount is a bit large, more than 10 horses is 1000 guan, even if it is a family wealth, it is impossible to take the transaction of about 1000 guan, not to mention, it may be hundreds of transactions at once, or even hundreds of transactions, in this case, it is even longer.

This point, from the Northwest ten chamber of commerce to sell goods, the mobilization of funds can be seen, the top ten chambers of commerce in addition to the standing tens of thousands of funds, but also through the method of sales, mobilized about 30-500,000 funds, other small and medium-sized chambers of commerce, also as much as possible to mobilize funds, including some medium-sized chambers of commerce, they are lucky to sell the last batch of products, originally ready to buy the next batch of products of funds, almost half of the funds have been mobilized, and even mobilized more than 100,000 or 200,000 funds.

The convergence of a large amount of funds was almost all placed in the bank, ready to be transferred to the Weizhou trade fair through the bank.

This is the normal way of capital operation of the entire Northern Song Dynasty, except for some small and medium-sized chambers of commerce, they will carry cash, in the middle, most of them are copper coins, and they have always been 8 catties of copper coins, 1000 guan, which is 80 stones, this amount, it is very terrible to transport it. Among the high-level merchants, most of the large chambers of commerce use gold and silver, or bills of exchange.

With Han Qi's power, he can already influence the Qian Zhuang, at least, he can know the fund mobilization of these large chambers of commerce through the Qian Zhuang.

After knowing that at least 10 million yuan of funds were concentrated in these banks, and through the banks, they began to move to this side.

In the absence of electronic systems and network tools, such a transfer, to put it bluntly, is cash, perhaps, not like ordinary businessmen, directly with copper coins, mostly gold, silver and precious metals, but when the total amount is huge, even gold is a lot.

1 tael of gold is equal to 10 guan, 10 million guan, and at least 100,000 catties of gold, which is a terrible wealth, involving tens of millions of capital operations, for the money bank, it is also some trouble, but also has a large cost.

Han Qi, as the privy deputy envoy, put forward a condition that these funds could be exchanged for some materials, the materials needed for the development of Lingzhou, and all the consumption and expenses handled by Lingzhou could also be paid by Lingzhou, and a fairly high amount was given.

There is money to be made, and it is unshakable, and even through the procurement and transfer of these materials, you can also get considerable benefits, not to mention the handling fee, tens of millions of transactions, even if it is one percent of the handling fee, the profit is more than 100,000 yuan, plus others, it may be hundreds of thousands.

Don't think that when you have the ability to mobilize millions, or even tens of millions of funds, you don't care about hundreds of thousands of profits, which is impossible for any money bank to refuse, because this is just incidental, when the original profits have not changed at all, it is just a convenience.

For the sake of profits, many businessmen can do something to break through the bottom line, but this time, it is a little difficult for the money bank, although the money is for this cattle and horse conference, most of the money also needs to be spent for the cattle and horse conference, in this sense, this money should belong to Lingzhou, but the transaction has not been carried out, this procedure is not right.

Credit, in this era, is a big thing for businessmen, even if it is because of wrong judgment, as long as the reputation is not lost, then the businessman can make a comeback, but once the reputation fails, even if there is capital, unless it is to buy land and become a landlord, and then take the road of business, that is, to find death.

The same is true for Qianzhuang, other businesses, if you have no reputation, you can change the picture from another channel, and make a comeback, Qianzhuang, that is, the reputation is greater than the sky, the reputation is gone, and the whole Qianzhuang has also crossed.

Because of Han Qi's identity, these money banks didn't say anything to death, maybe because they still had some unrelenting relationships with this benefit, they told Han Qi that if they could solve the problem of reasonableness, they could consider it, and even compress the funds, but the time for the Weizhou Conference was coming soon, and there was not much time.

Han Qi also knew that this was a matter of rationality, and what he wanted was to go beyond this rationality.

There's no way, Lingzhou, I can't wait, there is no large-scale change in the Lingzhou peace conference, maybe it can be supported, the reward owed to the army can be replaced by cattle and sheep for the time being, and those things that were developed in advance can also be owed first.

But now, nearly 25 million head of livestock have poured into Lingzhou all of a sudden, and it is still in winter, even if it is prepared in advance, it also has a huge pasture, but some necessary preparations still need to be made.

With the current situation of getting colder and colder in the north, the winter is very difficult to pass, now, the temperature is not too low, these cattle, sheep and horses raised outside can still survive, but if a powerful snowstorm hits, maybe, these animals will die eighty or nine.

It's not impossible, it's something that has been finalized by countless experiences in the North, but one thing is certain: under one winter, there will inevitably be one or several snowstorms.

In fact, the tents belonging to the army, as well as the seizures from Lingzhou, have been mobilized as much as possible, but a Lingzhou, compared with the five continents of Western Xia, is still a lot worse, and it takes time to build these cattle.

Live cattle and sheep can play a huge role, dead cattle and sheep, can play a role, that is only the role of meat, and even, when the weather warms up, or is transported to some areas in the south, under the effect of temperature, these things, and even rot.

Rotten, that's right, it's rotten, when the meat is rotten, not even a little bit of value doesn't exist, even if Han Qi obtains these things, it costs relatively little, but it is wasted in vain, which is even more unacceptable than the low price.

Weather changes are uncontrollable, but they can be adjusted through experience, for Han Qi, if he really waits for a month or two, it will be too late, Han Qi doesn't dare to bet at all, for a month or two, there will be no extremely bad weather like a snowstorm.

How to get this money in hand, this is the key, if this money can be in place earlier, for Lingzhou, for the development of the entire northwest is a very good thing.

Maybe before, there is no way to solve this problem, and it is obviously wrong to treat other people's money as their own, even if the money is to buy a certain product, but it is always necessary to pay with one hand and deliver it with the other.

But in the Daimyo's Mansion, Zhao Xin's auction gave him an inspiration, and the thing that Zhao Xin called a deposit, or a deposit, could perfectly solve this problem.
