Chapter 23 Cutting the leeks

Kang Chengdong and Yelu Buhua went to the trading hall, found He Kun, and said to him: "We have asked in Bingzhou City these two days, and the fur is indeed traded as you said. Since that's the case, I will sign a contract with you and sell the fur on my behalf."

He Kun was overjoyed after hearing this and asked hurriedly: "I wonder how many furs there are in the official's house? What goods do you want to change?"

Kang Chengdong said: "I didn't bring too many business in Bingzhou, and I only brought less than 2,000 raw skins. After selling them, change more pearls and incense medicine. I have a list here and write about the goods I want to change. You can just buy them as you like."

He Kun took the order and shook his head: "Why do you buy so many fragrant medicines in the past two days? The price of fragrant medicines has soared. It is not a good time to buy them. It is better to exchange for other goods. It is like silk, which is much more cost-effective."

Kang Chengdong said: "It's okay two days ago, why did the price of fragrant medicine suddenly rise?"

He Kun sighed: "I heard that there are too many furs in the state warehouses, and the amount of money is paid to the army as salary, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the people. In order to calm the anger of the public, the yamen sold a large amount of fur and bought incense medicine. In the city's fur business, the state's fur business was 10, and the fur in the palace warehouse was accumulated. When it was released, it would naturally lower the price. Fortunately, there were many fur businessmen in Bingzhou and stored it in the goods yard, so they bought inventory one after another. However, so many furs were replaced with incense medicine, and there were not many incense medicines, so the price rose suddenly. Alas, the yamen was anxious to do this, and we were caught off guard."

"What should I do? I wonder how much the price of fragrant medicine has increased?"

He Kun said: "In just one or two days, it has doubled, and it still keeps rising today. Looking at the whiteboards over there, the price of incense medicines now changes once every hour, and it seems to rise."

After hearing this, Kang Chengdong turned to Yelu Buhua and said, "Mr. Lang, what should I do? The price of fragrant medicine has soared. Wouldn't you suffer a loss if you buy it now?"

Yelu Buhua was a little angry and didn't want to encounter such a thing. He gritted his teeth and said, "Look at the end of the year, I want to buy it back and give it to others. I have to buy it even when the price rises! It's really unfavorable for the passing of the year. I actually encountered such dirty things!"

At this moment, a man dressed like He Kun came over and said to He Kun: "Brother, do you still have fragrant medicine in your hand? I bought it together with a few senior officials here, but there is really no source of goods! I am so anxious that I can't do this business, and I will lose a lot of money in vain!"

He Kun said: "Now, everyone in the city is stocking up incense medicine. I have a little supply of goods in my hands and can only take care of my own business. Where can I give you extra extra money? As the saying goes, buy more and not buy less and fall. These people are all good at using humans, but it only makes us suffer."

Kang Chengdong heard this and said, "Since the price of incense medicine has skyrocketed, why are there so many people buying it? It's not urgent to use it, and it won't wait until the price drops before buying it? If it's not that I'm really useful, I won't change the incense medicine this time."

He Kun laughed when he heard this: "Uncle Master, if you think so, you are not a business person. The yamen collects incense medicine, which is decided by the minister of the prefecture. You must collect enough. These senior officials bought the incense medicine in the yard. Without the source of goods, the price will naturally rise. Look, in just one or two days, the price has doubled. How easy is this money?"

Kang Chengdong's eyes lit up: "There is such a thing? Then isn't everyone storing goods now?"

"Of course. Fortunately, the New Year is approaching, and foreign merchants are in a hurry to go home for the New Year. The incense medicine they have to be sold in their hands, otherwise there would be no source of goods in the yard. This is like picking up money on the ground. Who would miss it?"

Kang Chengmo's eyes rolled and said, "In this way, the price surged this time because the yamen purchased fragrant medicine? Then when they bought enough, wouldn't the price of fragrant medicine be reduced again? Those who were in stock at that time would lose money."

He Kun said: "That's true. This kind of business depends on your eyesight and courage. Once the news comes out, you will sell it before the price drops. If you do it well, you can catch up with others in a lifetime by making money in a few days."

Kang Chengdong couldn't help but stun his tongue. He worked hard to sell two thousand sheepskins, but he didn't know how much effort he had put into it. He organized the supply of goods from the Khitan, made reservations with others, then went to the court together, applied for public filings, and finally transported them to Bingzhou. After working for a few months, it was only a few hundred stagnant of money. In addition to the officials in Bingzhou City, as long as they seized the opportunity, they could make money in one or two days.

The more I thought about it, the more I became moved. Kang Chengdong whispered to Yelu Buhua: "It's rare to encounter such an opportunity. Mr., why not stay for three or five days and replace all the sheepskin with incense medicine. Don't be greedy, stop after making twice the profit, and you can have a good New Year."

Yelu Buhua had already been ready to move and nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, that's what it should be!"

In Du Zhongxiao's living room, Xia Gui smiled. Seeing Du Zhongxiao come in, he hurriedly stood up and said, "This plan for signing a verdict is really amazing! Just this morning, the price of incense and medicine in the cargo yard has doubled and is still rising!"

Du Zhongxiao smiled and said, "Supervisor, since it has increased, have the incense medicine you stocked in the past been sold?"

Xia Gui shook his head repeatedly: "The price is rising wildly, how can I sell it? I will earn more than I have worked hard for a year in a few days! With this amount of money, my husband's family can have a good New Year and can also show that I can do it. I won't have to work hard in business in the future. As long as I sit in Bingzhou City, I can make a lot of money by buying and selling!"

Du Zhongxiao sighed: "Supervisor, it's important to be content. Stop when it's time to stop, so that you can really make money. Once the market reverses, the goods in your hands will be destroyed. I also stocked some incense medicine a few days ago, and I will sell them all today and tomorrow."

Xia Gui was stunned: "Why are you so anxious? Why don't you wait a few days to make the price rise more? Anyway, as long as the news of the yamen collecting incense and medicine, you will have a storing goods and you will not have to worry about not being sold. You can make money by sitting at home. How can you not do such a good thing?"

Du Zhongxiao smiled and shook his head: "Supervisor, this kind of money should not be made. It's just that there are too many furs in the military warehouse, and it's hard to sell them without any means. I'm making such tricks. If you want to make money from the yard for a long time in Bingzhou City, you have to ensure the market is stable, and you're most afraid of big ups and downs. The yamen manages all the fangs and the inventory in the yard, and there are countless supplies in the military warehouse. It's really easy to manipulate prices. However, there is always a rough amount of money to make money. The yamen ends up and scrapes all the money into their own hands. The merchants can't make money, and the fur business can't continue. This is like cutting leeks. It must be just right and fertilize them at all times to get long-term profits."

Xia Gui couldn't understand these things, but said disappointedly: "According to the verdict, this money can only be earned once? Alas, it's a pity!"

Du Zhongxiao smiled and said, "The freight yard is there, how could it only make money once? But it can't be so cruel in the future. The supervisor knows a lot of people in the yamen and can inquire about all the news. Those traded goods should be clear about the price fluctuations. According to the current freight yard regulations, as long as the tooth is placed, there is no need to buy and sell goods at all. You can make money by changing prices."

Xia Gui thought about it and found out that he had Xia Xun as a backer. He could indeed find out all the news. But if you want to master the price trend, you always feel that you can't do it. He patted his head and sighed: "At this time, I realized that my head was not enough, and I would have to sign a judgment to support him in the future."

Du Zhongxiao smiled and shook his head secretly. Xia Gui was still the same thinking of selling goods and could not keep up with the pace of Bingzhou. The current dental system, coupled with the goods being in the yard, local merchants did not deliver, and could make money by relying solely on the price. The well-informed yamen can foresee the price fluctuations of goods in a short period of time, and there is always a chance to buy low and sell high. People like Du Zhongxiao and Xia Gui can use this convenience to ride in speculative business. Just like this, the price of fragrant medicines soared, and Du Zhongxiao also made a lot of money.

Xia Shu wanted to sell the fur in the military treasury and exchange it for light goods such as gold, silver, incense and medicine. Du Zhongxiao was afraid that as soon as the news was released, the market fur price plummeted and the government's property losses were caused, so he took the responsibility himself, so he first manipulated the speculation of incense and medicine.

Du Zhongxiao first released the news that the yamen wanted to exchange fur for incense medicine, and then a large amount of fur in the military warehouse was transported to the freight yard. It was said that these furs were sold, but the market price did not fluctuate greatly, and there were actually not many transactions. In these days, Du Zhongxiao used the sold fur but did not buy incense medicine, and all bought gold and silver. The reason for insufficient incense medicine was that he used the convenience of controlling the teeth to eliminate the source of incense medicine from the account.

The daily transaction goods are displayed on the whiteboard in the trading hall. In a short period of time, the incense medicine suddenly went out of stock, rumors spread everywhere, and the prices soared, causing big merchants to enter the market to store goods. Taking advantage of the opacity of the transaction information of the tooth man, the goods were transferred quietly. It turned out that the owner of the incense medicine thought it was sold before the price surge, but in fact it was transferred to the incense merchant after the surge. With this price difference alone, the cost of a large amount of fur accumulated in the cargo yard came out and could be sold slowly in the future.

At this point, Du Zhongxiao's goal has been achieved. He will handle the fur inventory of the military capital warehouse by himself, and at least he will not lose money. At this time, taking advantage of the high price of incense medicine in the market, several incense medicines in the Yamen secretly entered the market and sold at high prices. As for when the price bubble of incense medicines will burst in the future, it has nothing to do with Du Zhongxiao. Anyway, the Yamen will not buy when the price is high, and sooner or later, the merchants will find that the basis of speculation has disappeared.

Du Zhongxiao had already thought about the lines at the end of the storm. It was nothing more than using fur to exchange for incense medicine, but someone in the yamen leaked the news, causing the price to soar, the transaction was not cost-effective, and the yamen would not buy it.
