Chapter Eighty-Nine: Speculating on Food Stamps

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Hou Fangyu to find a cronie and a servant hurriedly running to the door: "Young Master." The family is looking for you and Wu Gongzi! ”

Hou Fangyu and Wu Lian chuckled: "It seems that everyone understands what it means for Hengxin to raise prices again!" ”

When Hengxin raised prices for the first time, he also kept a little bottom line, just to fight with the six grain merchants and force the big grain stores in the city to reduce the price and supply grain at the same time.

After all, the core goal of Hengxin's establishment is twofold, one is to crack down on the speculation of high food prices and stabilize prices. Second, it is to open warehouses and sell grain to alleviate the food crisis in the city, so that the people will not be able to buy food and eventually starve to death.

When the first price was raised, the first point was actually no longer possible. I have increased my price, how can I still stabilize prices? It can only be said that he still retains the intention of cracking down on the speculation of grain merchants, and he has not given up. As for the next day, with the use of silver stamps and grain stamps, in fact, the same as the first point, the purpose of stabilizing grain prices is almost in name only.

It is obviously difficult for the storefronts of the eight Hengxin grain stores to meet the supply of the people in the city. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce the flow of bank tickets and reduce the transaction time to improve the operation efficiency of the grain bank. The purpose of the food stamps is also to divert the people who rush to buy grain and rice every day, trying to postpone the upper limit of the daily reception through the time predetermined on the food stamps.

But in the eyes of the six major grain merchants, such a move is not only to quench thirst, but also to go in the opposite direction.

No matter how much the silver ticket relieves the pressure of the grain store's reception, it will only make more people who want to buy rice every day, make the consumption greater, and the clerks more tired.

And the same is true of food stamps, which push today's to tomorrow, but tomorrow still has to be dealt with. Although it seems that the people who rushed to buy more opportunities to buy food, it has accelerated the consumption of food even more.

Especially in the eyes of Hou Fangyu and others, one thing that Hengxin can't solve no matter what...... Prices!

"After using so many tricks, our price increase this time finally forced Hengxin to be unbearable. The price has increased for the second time! Hou Sui smiled and said: "Now it can be said that the death of the person behind Hengxin is just around the corner!" ”

Wu Lian understood as soon as he heard it, beckoned, and called a servant and said, "You are here in the Drunken Immortal Building, collect it for me!" A food stamp popped up and opened it to me! The highest price of the drunken fairy building. Buy as much as you want! ”

"Take it all!"

A quarter of an hour later, in the Drunken Immortal Building.

"Unlimited purchase of Hengxin Commercial Bank food stamps, thirty taels and one stone, how much to collect! Highest price receiving! ”

……

After arranging these, Wu Lian retreated, followed Hou Fangyu out of the Drunken Immortal Tower, and then praised: "Hou Gongzi's hand is really high." Now wait for Hengxin to raise his hand and surrender. Hey, in fact, this Hengxin price increase for the second time. In fact, it's almost a surrender with a raised hand. However, they still didn't give up, and opened up to sell food stamps, thinking that it would be okay to postpone the delivery of food to the next day. Wish for the moon! ”

Hengxin's actions had already been thoroughly pondered after Hou Fangyu and Wu Lian heard about it.

Originally, Hengxin had two main points: to stabilize grain prices, crack down on profiteers, and open warehouses to sell grain, so as to alleviate the food crisis in the city. The previous point has gone bankrupt, and with Hengxin's own price increase, and the rapid price increase is higher than that of profiteers such as Jiaojia Commercial Bank, the point of stabilizing food prices has actually failed.

Just rush to this price. The grain sold by Hengxin at the moment is no different from that of profiteers, all of them are making excess profits. Regardless of Zhu Cihong's price increase, there are thousands of legitimate reasons. If you do this, you will be scolded as a profiteer.

If there was no end to the food stamps behind Hengxin, perhaps Wu Lianhou Fangyu himself believed that this was Hengxin hinting that he was going to surrender.

But as soon as they saw that Hengxin continued to sell food stamps, they knew that Hengxin was obviously not dead and continued to resist.

Everyone knows the role of food stamps. It's not just to postpone the sale. So that Hengxin can quickly supply the whole city of grain and rice?

When the time comes, as long as you buy the food stamps first, it will not be a big problem to get the grain and rice a day or two later. What's more, when people arrive, they can buy it, and they don't have to wait in line for half a day to get food directly.

But in fact, for Hou Fangyu, Wu Lian and others who rolled out of the businessman's pile. They quickly saw through it.

"This is a void of faith. The price is low, I can't hold it up, and there are people speculating and speculating, and it's cheap, and we arrange people to rush to buy it. Hou Fangyu said with a smug face: "And it will be a day or two late, which not only shows that the stores in Hengxin have scarce food and are in short supply." More to explain...... The military rations in Shandong Town will soon bottom out! ”

In the Qing Garden.

Bang Bang Bang ......

Wu Shijiao applauded slightly: "Well done, well said!" The overseer is really well taught, and he is really a tiger father without a dog. ”

"Awards, awards. The children did something that was not worth it. Hou Sui stroked his long beard and said with a smile: "It's this opportunity, you have to seize it!" ”

Hou Sui looked at Wu Shi and said: "Collect all the food stamps in the world, and in half a month, even if Qin Xia really deducts all the military food in Shandong Town, don't want to feed the entire Kaifeng City." ”

"At that time, the only one in Kaifeng City who still has enough grain and rice will be us. In this besieged city, food is everything. Without food, even if it is supported by the prince, it is still a castle in the air! Wu Shixuan continued: "Continue to raise prices, continue to increase prices!" Let's see how much grain there is in Shandong Town that can be raised with us! ”

There is no July 10 in the fifteenth year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty.

The sixth day of the opening of Hengxin Commercial Bank.

Located on the third floor of the Drunken Immortal Building, an independent small suite was quietly opened by Zhu Cihong. Downstairs, on the inky wood panels, refreshed again.

"Jiaojia Yuanhui grain line thirty-five taels and one stone!"

"Wu Jiaqingrong grain line, thirty-five taels and one stone!"

"Hengxin Grain Bank, thirty-six taels and one stone!"

……

The window was pulled up by Zhu Cihong again: "The price increase is really fast." ”

On Zhu Cihong's side, Gong Qianshun took over and said: "That's it, it's still in short supply." We are hard currency, hard money, everyone wants it. ”

"That's a good thing." Zhu Cihong said with a smile: "Qianzhuang can also expand a lot of business by taking advantage of the trend. Normally, it is not easy for these landlords to take out the money they have. ”

Relying on the hard relationship between Party A and selling grain and rice in the grain bank, the money bank naturally took advantage of the trend to pull a lot of deposits.

"Thanks to your lordship, this time." Gong Qianshun thought for a while, and then said: "The things that the adults asked Qian Zhuang to do before have all been prepared. Here's the list. ”

Zhu Cihong nodded and took the list.

The list is actually a list of big customers specially compiled by Hengxin Money. Not only to absorb deposits, issue silver and food stamps, but also to plan for the gentry in the city. (To be continued......)
