Chapter 394
Planning
The purpose of Zeng Gongliang and Ding Du came was mainly to discuss with Chen Yuan and ask him to give feedback on the use of the new weapons he brought to Dangxiang this time so that they could improve. In addition, they had new weapons developed and the funds were tight.
Of course, I also congratulated Chen Yuan on his promotion.
After the two of them left, Chen Yuan did not go to make up for the sleep. Renzong was still waiting for his plan. The merchants also looked for him many times. In the afternoon, he had to go to the army to see the brothers and count the dead and injured. Those who died in battle should know where the home was. Each person was 500 trump cards, which he had said.
Anyway, very busy.
At the morning of Mao, Chen Yuan invited all the big merchants in Bianjing. These people had been waiting for this meeting. This time, Chen Yuan took them to play this war. So far, the funds they invested have been returned!
Moreover, the situation on the front line is becoming more and more beneficial to the Song Dynasty. These shrewd shopkeepers can see it clearly. Once the Song Dynasty wins this battle, their rewards will definitely be extremely generous!
What they are concerned about now is that Chen Yuan means that just like the last time she cut the wool in Liao Kingdom, he will stop clicking and continue playing!
Looking at these people's wolf-like eyes, Chen Yuan knew that they didn't want to stop!
Chen Yuan first took a sip of tea, and then said directly: "I don't know if you are satisfied with the current profits. Judging from my investment and rewards, if the war is fought for another three months, all the money of Dangxiang will fall back into our pockets, which is enough to ensure that our profits will be extremely generous this time! We have just washed Li Yuanhao's pockets, and those Dangxiang's wealthy families still have money to save at homes. This money is our next goal!"
The shopkeeper Zhang from the cloth shop immediately smiled after hearing this: "Mr. Chen, what do you think you can do it."
Chen Yuan said: "You don't need to do anything else. I just hope everyone can support me. As long as you sell all the goods for me now, don't withdraw funds for the time being."
Xu Mazi and Ma Chang looked at each other, and Ma Chang asked, "Mr. Prince Concubine, this great clan of the Party Xiang tribe is no better than those civilians. Most of them can hold on. It may not be that easy to get money from their pockets, right?"
Chen Yuan nodded: "It's not easy, but we must do it. Are you just interested in this little money? I'm dissatisfied with you. At this time, I have sent people to Dangxiang to buy their shops at a low price. When the war between Dangxiang is settled, my shops can increase my capital by several times or more than ten times! These are just small money. The key is that I have the ability to let my goods spread throughout the entire city of Dangxiang within half a month!"
He said here, the shopkeepers' eyes were red! They naturally knew what this meant, which meant that Chen Yuan did not steal a fortune, but would continue to steal the energy source in the future!
Chen Yuan looked at the expressions of these people and smiled: "At that time, I hope I will sell your goods, so those big players who are capable of producing must all collapse in the war! Or choose to cooperate with us. Can you calculate it? How much profit is this?"
The room was full of people who had been struggling in the mall for many years. At this time, they were all breathing sounds left. Wealth was as rich as the country, and what the ancients said was rich as a country!
The shopkeeper Wu from the shipyard swallowed: "If we could do this as Storekeeper Chen said, we would naturally try it out, but what we are worried about is the emperor's attitude. After all, if we do too much, the emperor may be punished!"
This is their only concern now. They are greedy for money to make their lives more nourishing. If they offend the emperor and even lose their lives, what else do they need to do?
Chen Yuan glanced at Manager Wu: "Of course I know, so in the future, we will support the emperor and make the emperor feel that we are helping him, so there will be no problem."
Everyone nodded in hearing this, and Ma Chang said, "It's nothing wrong. If the prince-consort can really make us understand the situation in Dangxiang, these are all small money."
Chen Yuan shook his head slightly: "After all, seniors, you still have doubts about the goal I mentioned, and I can fully understand this."
Zhang Manager Zhang said: "Don't mind, my son-in-law, we talked in our hearts. The money we invested this time was earned last time, and you also earned it for us. According to human nature, we shouldn't do this, but we are businessmen after all, and we can't throw the money into the puddle. It's not that we don't want to play, but we are afraid of playing with our heads."
Chen Yuan said: "It is appropriate to be cautious. This way, I will go to the palace again today. If I can convince the emperor, we will immediately sell a batch of supplies to the Liao Kingdom, including the weapons that have been banned! I wonder if the emperor lets go, can you feel more at ease?"
Everyone couldn't believe it! After a while, he said, "Okay, as the prince-in-law said, if the emperor could even let go of his weapons, we would not only not move the current money, but also invest some more in!"
Chen Yuan didn't say anything else, saying it was useless. These guys were talented. Last year, they paid 100,000 or 200,000 yuan for Chen Yuan to play. They didn't think about how much they could make, but now the profit has far exceeded their expectations. There is too much money. Instead, they hesitated, thinking about whether they could take the money back and play some business that they are better at.
"Then that's it. Please rest assured, seniors. At the latest tomorrow, I will give you an answer. If you decide to play smaller, Shimei will listen to your opinions."
After discussing with these businessmen, Chen Yuan rubbed his two temples. He drank high yesterday, but now he felt that the two tendons on his head were jumping hard.
Linghua came in from outside and saw Chen Yuan's appearance. She immediately put down her work and walked over to help him press: "My husband, if you are tired, just take a break. Your body is always the most important thing."
Chen Yuan smiled bitterly: "I want to do it too, but it won't work now. Let Han Qi prepare the carriage, I'm going to see the emperor."
Li Yuanhao is a jackal, not only fierce, but also cunning. He should not hesitate to deal with such a person at all. Take advantage of the time he solved the difficult problem he gave him now! Otherwise, let him breathe a sigh of relief, and he may not even have a chance to make a problem next time.
From the perspective of the country, the problem of Dangxiang must be solved. From the perspective of the private perspective, Chen Yuan invested a lot of money in Dangxiang this time, so he had to do his best to defeat Li Yuanhao so that his investment could be rewarded with great returns!
After getting on Han Qi's carriage, Chen Yuan suddenly found that there were many ragged people on the side of the road, walking towards the east of the city with each other. One or two, but some of them formed a team of dozens or hundreds of people.
He was very curious: "Han Qi, what's going on with these people?"
Han Qi drove the car a little slower: "Shopkeepers, these are the people who come to beg for food this year. Usually, many people beg for food every year when the food is not accepted, but this year, because the price of food is twice as high as in previous years, there are more people like this."
Chen Yuan was a little surprised. The most direct reason for the high price of grain was that Chen Yuan was hoarding. He knew that in the next battle between Li Shibin and Jiao Siluo and Li Yuanhao, the most surprised thing in the Western Xinjiang must be the food. Whoever has the food can recruit soldiers! Whoever can become the final winner, so he has now started preparing.
But Chen Yuan did not expect that his actions also caused such a bad result in the Song Dynasty. If he killed three thousand enemies, he would lose eight hundred. This principle is an unchanging philosophy in economic wars. The key is how much he can earn after killing the enemy, and whether others can pay for the eight hundred losses.
Chen Yuan had never thought about this problem before. The most important reason why he could quickly recover funds was that the losses of these people were ordinary people from the Song Dynasty who came to pay for them. What should I do if I couldn’t afford them? Just like these people now, they could only sell their land at home to the landlords, and then leave their hometown to beg for food, hoping to find a way out!
"Why are they all going east together?" Chen Yuan felt a little sad when he saw it.
Han Qi said: "Mr. Fan has built a new charity village in the east, and there is still an hour left to give up the porridge."
Chen Yuan sighed, he knew what he should do. Every capitalist is two-sided, and so is Chen Yuan. He used extremely bloody means to squeeze wealth. In this process, some ordinary families in the Song Dynasty could no longer withstand it, and Dangxiang's situation would only be even worse!
When they succeed or are about to succeed, they will feel the uneasiness of their conscience, so they transformed into philanthropists and spent a lot of money to help those in need. The wool comes from the sheep, which is the reason.
"Han Qi, are the wooden houses we built for those scholars still there? The scientific examination has ended, should they all go back?"
Han Qi nodded: "I'm almost gone. Do the shopkeeper want to open a charity house?"
Chen Yuan said: "From tomorrow, there will be a meal of porridge a day, and the staff will be simple, and only those scholars who have not left will be enough. Let them help with some serious business and don't hold a book all day long to read, so those who can't read talents."
Han Qi understood: "Yes, I'll make arrangements when I go back."
While speaking, he had already arrived at the gate of the palace. The carriage stopped. Chen Yuan explained a few words to Han Qi and asked for his opinion.
A eunuch came immediately and brought Chen Yuan directly to Renzong. Chen Yuan got up in the morning and wrote the memorial. This plan was thought of in his mind for a long time and was quite perfect. As for a completely perfect plan, there was nothing in this world.
