Chapter 141: A Rare Opportunity
"Who said Yuan Qi didn't move?" Wang Chao laughed and said: "Guangdong Customs' suppression of foreign businessmen, isn't it from the hands of Yuan Qi?" He shook the big pu fan and said eloquently: "Yuanqi is different from the Tea Industry Association, Yuanqi does not have tea in his hands, and if he wants to suppress the tea market, there is no other way than to tighten the silver root now."
Is tightening monetary policy possible? No way! In order to save the tea market, Yuanqi and the bank club have lent a lot of money, and now they want to tighten the monetary base, but they can't do it at all! At least not in half a month! It can be said that Yuanqi does not have the ability to suppress the tea market now!
Yuanqi wants to swallow us in one bite, what do you rely on? There are only two points, one is to use the tightness of funds to regulate the tea market and suppress the price of tea. The second is the monopoly of the Thirteen Banks on the foreign trade of tea.
Let's raise the price of tea this time, why is the Tea Industry Association eager to suppress it? Because Yuanqi hopes that the tea market will be deserted, the transaction will be light, and the price of tea will be low, only in this way will the tea we have in hand not be able to be traded and let go, and in the end, we can only obediently send it to the door, and Ren Yuanqi and the Thirteen Lines will be slaughtered.
But what if it's the other way around?! The tea market is hot, the transaction is active, the price of tea is rising, we will not be controlled by others, now we can suppress the tea market, it is only a group of big tea merchants in the tea industry association, eat the tea in their hands, we will break the situation, can manipulate the tea market as you like, not only will not lose, but also make a lot of money!
Now is an extremely rare opportunity, and the time left for us is less than half a month, most of the speculators are borrowing for a month of short-term loans, once due, Yuanqi can tighten the bank, manipulate the tea market! Therefore, I suggest that at a price of 2527 yuan, continue to vigorously acquire and forcibly break the situation! ”
I have to say that Wang Chaoyi's analysis is very reasonable, Yuan Qi can't tighten the silver root for half a month, which is the only chance they can save themselves, if they miss this opportunity, they can only face the fate of being slaughtered by others, how can He Shutai not be moved? However, although he was moved, he was still a little hesitant, this step out, in case he lost, but it would be a catastrophe, and the accumulation of several generations of the entire family would be compensated.
Of course, there is a chance to turn the tables, he naturally will not give up easily, after a little groaning, he spoke: "Now it has been spread all over the world, saying that our Shunde silk merchants are disturbing the tea market, this is not our raw silk market, we are in the guest ......." ”
"Brother Zi'an eats pork, will he still ask who raised this pig?" Wang Chaoyi said with a smile: "The tea market is full of speculators and tea merchants who are red-eyed and eager to make money, as long as there is money to be made, who cares about who is manipulating the tea market?" What happened to the Shunde silk merchants manipulating the tea market? It's rare to be able to manipulate thirteen lines? The Tea Guild can force the Thirteen Lines to raise prices, but our Shunde silk merchants can't force the Thirteen Lines to raise prices? ”
It was this reason, He Shutai also felt that he was too cautious, and immediately asked: "How much silver can I borrow?" ”
Seeing that he finally relented, Wang Chaoyi felt relieved, threw away the pu fan, stood up and said: "Two million is no problem, plus the silver deposit on hand, nearly five million." ”
After a slight sigh, He Shutai said: "The front counter can't afford to delay, first reduce the price to purchase, reduce it to twenty-four taels and one quintal, and then call everyone to discuss, how about it?" ”
"Okay, the price of twenty-four will not make them lose confidence in the tea market, and it will only be a matter of one sentence if they want to pull it back." Wang Chaoyi strode to the door and ordered: "Lower the purchase price to twenty-four, let the word out, and collect as much as you want!" Also, call everyone to the meeting. ”
As soon as the wooden sign with a reduced price was hung out, it immediately caused a lot of discussion, and all the tea merchants were embarrassed. Or not selling? This price is very a bit of a test, sell it, unwilling, in this case, Taihesheng tea does not close, does not stop buying, but also releases the word, how much to sell at this price, obviously has full confidence.
If it is not sold, it is indeed too worrying, the Tea Industry Association is clearly suppressing the Shunde silk merchants, the Guangzhou tea merchants and the Shunde silk merchants are facing off, and you have to add a Yuan Qi, God knows what the final result will be? Once the Shunde silk merchants failed, the price of tea will inevitably plummet, can't make up their minds, everyone naturally chooses to wait and see, a lot of big tea merchants are also undecided, a price reduction of one or two or seven dollars, for them, this is a difference of tens of thousands of taels, who doesn't feel pain?
Hearing the report, Huang Zichang said without thinking about it: "No need to sell it, if you sell it again, the other party will definitely continue to reduce the price." After saying that, he commanded: "Prepare a sedan chair." ”
Rong Yuan, Yi Zhicontent, Wu Changqing, Ma Yinglong, and Pan Shiming were talking about how to write the "Theory of National Debts", and I heard that this policy was very concerned about the current Zi and Wang Ding, the head of the household, and Ma Yinglong's attitude was extremely cautious, but Yi Zhicontent, this person did not care at all, and after introducing the situation of the national debt, he rarely interjected.
Pan Shiming said quite dissatisfiedly: "There are not many opportunities to reach the heavens, can you be more detailed about contentment?" ”
"I've said everything I know, how can I be detailed?" Yi Zhishu glanced at the three of them as he spoke, and said, "Look at your excitement, why don't you sign your names on it?" ”
"Don't." Ma Yinglong hurriedly shook his head and said: "We don't understand the economy, wouldn't it be a joke to spread it?" ”
Yi Zhizhi said with a smile: "If you don't understand economics, you can learn, Brother Junhu is dedicated to the academics, learn a little economics, and become an official in the future can also benefit the people." ”
Hearing this, Ma Yinglong was a little moved, groaned slightly, and then said: "After the township test, I will definitely come to learn from contentment." ”
"Young Master." Li Wang reported outside the door: "President Huang is here. ”
Yi Zhishu was looking for a chance to take a break, and immediately said with a smile: "You guys are busy first, and I'll go and order a table by the way and ask someone to send it." As he spoke, he walked out of the room quickly, greeted Huang Zichang at the gate of the courtyard, and when he saw the other party's expression, he knew that something was wrong, and immediately asked, "Is it a mess?" ”
Huang Zichang's old face was a little embarrassed, and said: "He Shutai and Wang Chaoyi are very vigilant, and their methods are very ....... As he spoke, he explained the situation in detail.
After listening carefully, Yi Zhishu nodded and said, "These two people are indeed not good people, but fortunately, Elder Huang is spicy and decisive, and he has not lost a big ...... because of small things." ”
Seeing Yi Zhicontent, he didn't complain about him at all, Huang Zichang suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, and said with a smile: "Don't put gold on the old man's face, how to deal with this situation now?" ”
"The other party lowered the price of tea to twenty-four taels, and threatened to collect as much as he wanted, which was obviously unwilling." Yi Zhishu groaned: "Don't sell it at this price, wait for them to increase the price." ”
Huang Zichang said: "The other party's threat to collect as much as possible should only be to stabilize people's hearts, so as to avoid a large number of sell-offs." ”
"Don't bother." Yi Zhixiang smiled: "Since they don't give up, we don't need to worry, let's wait and see first." ”
