Chapter 130: Crazy(1/2)
After this tea party, the news was clear.
The Zhang family suddenly sold so much grain, and the price of grain must have dropped.
But the Zhang family is short-sighted and only sees the benefits in front of them, so for the long-term plan, the price of grain needs to be raised.
There will be a rise in the future!
This is the conclusion of almost all grain merchants.
Then, 30,000 shi of grain were quickly eaten up.
The Zhang family... is full of cash silver and white silver, piled up high. In order to count the money, they had to hire dozens of accounting offices, hold weights, weigh pieces of silver, and then record them.
In order to prevent it, Zhang Jingyi also transferred a team of Jinyiwei's lieutenant here to guard the situation.
Looking at the countless silvers, he felt scared.
But...this is obviously just the beginning.
Then... the Zhang family continued to sell grain.
On the fourth day, 50,000 stones.
This amount is just a devastating blow to the price of grain in the capital.
On that day, the price of grain was reduced to ten taels of silver per stone.
Many grain merchants have already hoarded mountains of grain, but now they are a little stunned.
What's going on?
The grain I bought for eleven taels of silver fell to ten taels the next day.
So the grain traders became anxious.
This time, there is no need to be three days apart, but the next day, everyone gathered at the Chamber of Commerce Hall.
People sighed and said, "The Zhang family has taken out so much grain. In my opinion, the price of grain is really going to fall."
"Oh, it's already ten taels. Will it be nine taels today? Zhang Jingyi is not selling grain, but cutting our meat."
Wu Wenlong was mixed in, and he was a little panicked as he listened to everyone's discussion.
I ate food for two or three consecutive days, and it was all high-priced food, so I just made a fortune this time!
Now the Zhang family is spending the market like this, and the grain purchased from seven cents of silver was used to spend. Whether it was selling ten taels of silver or eleven taels of silver, the Zhang family would not suffer any losses.
What to do and what to do?
This time, if the grain price collapses again, Wu Wenlong will be finished.
In fact, grain merchants like Wu Wenlong are mostly in the mood. After the news of the severe drought in Guanzhong came out, they collected grain at high prices everywhere, just to make a lot of money this time. If the grain price does not rise, everyone will have to finish it.
"What are you afraid of?" Someone said calmly: "How much food can we have on hand and how much can we lose? The four major grain merchants have a lot of food, and there are also the great gentry in the places, and they don't know how much food they have in their barns! We suffer a loss, but if they lose, they don't know how many people will die."
These words made Wu Wenlong feel a little relieved.
good……
At present, grain merchants and gentry are all communities of interests. If the price is maintained, everyone will make a fortune together. If they cannot maintain it, they will all die.
Let’s see what the Chen family said?
Someone couldn't help but say, "I just don't know if Mr. Chen will come today? He only comes every three days on weekdays."
"I don't know..."
Wu Wenlong and others were talking in the chamber of commerce and guilds. If such a big thing happened, the big grain merchant must be crazy.
But……
Didn't come.
Chen Moyan seemed to disappear and still abides by his rules.
This made everyone even more surprised.
But at this moment, someone suddenly came hurriedly and said, "It's rising, it's rising..."
"What?" Wu Wenlong, who was sitting in the guild, almost jumped up: "What's the situation?"
"The news just now, several major grain merchants have already gone to Xinxian and bought all the grain from the Zhang family. So much grain, they directly took real money and delivered it on the spot. Before the grain was shipped to Mr. Chen and his granary, the prices of grain on the market had risen in response! I heard a news that the Chen family said that they would buy as much grain as the Zhang family sold."
Someone was gasping.
Isn’t this clearly telling everyone that you are responsible for yourself and wait for money?
As long as the Zhang family is willing to ship the goods, there will definitely be someone who will eat it, and there will never be a grain of food on the market.
Wu Wenlong was so excited that he couldn't make a fortune himself. He was going to make a fortune.
He was extremely glad at this time that he had spent so much money to buy grain before. The big grain merchants dared to earn it at this price. What does this mean?
This means that they must believe that the future price of grain will only be higher than this price and will never be lower.
So Wu Wenlong hurriedly said, "How much is the food price now."
"It's almost back to eleven taels of silver. According to this trend, I'm afraid it will rise."
But someone else said worriedly: "I'm afraid that the Zhang family will ship the goods tomorrow."
"What are you afraid of? The Zhang family does have a lot of grain, but one day after the sale is completed, the price of grain can be maintained when the Zhang family ships it like this. When the Zhang family's grain is sold out, the price will probably go to heaven."
Everyone talked.
Many people have already had thoughts.
The big grain merchants have unlimited guarantees, which is basically to tell everyone.
You stock up, you will definitely make a fortune if you stock up.
Wu Wenlong was already crazy and immediately left the club and began to visit his relatives and friends. Then he went to visit the Minister of Revenue. That night, he finally raised 27,000 taels of silver.
When it comes time to get rich, there is no place to wait for the big grain merchants to stock up. Maybe in the past two days, the Zhang family will have to transfer grain to sell!
At this time, of course, you can buy as much as you can, and you will make a lot of money with the big grain merchants.
Buy it means making a profit!
There are naturally many people who are thinking like Wu Wenlong.
After all, there are not many transactions in this world that can only make money and not lose money, and this is an opportunity.
Now everyone is trying every means to raise money.
Wu Wenlong not only took out his own assets, but also found ways to borrow money.
Money can make money. If you miss this village, there will be no store. No one can resist this temptation of interests.
At this time...almost everyone began to become frenzy.
The next day, the grain prices really rose sharply, and overnight, they reached eleven taels and four cents of silver.
Overnight, I don’t know how many people got rich.
At this time... the Zhang family continued its former strategy and continued to allocate 50,000 stones of grain to Beijing.
But this time... it did not cause a drop in grain prices. As soon as the news of the Zhang family supplying grain came out, the hundreds of households were surrounded by grain merchants of all sizes.
Even some ordinary people with some money have begun to have thoughts at this time.
Wu Wenlong looked at the crowded scene and seemed to be suffering a loss, and he tried his best to squeeze in front of him.
Even at this time, people felt that it was too slow to trade food.
After all, if you purchase hundreds or thousands of stones of grain, you can only transport it for dozens of trucks. This is too slow, so you can just go to the Zhang family to give them money first, and then ask the Zhang family to take out a list of grain collections, and then go to collect the grain by yourself.
So when the documents for bringing food were obtained in this way, people snatched them up on the market.
Therefore, in the afternoon, the 50,000 stone of grain supplied by the Zhang family was sold out in just two hours. When the market was hot, the grain prices began to move again.
Crazy...
Lu Xiangsheng had never seen such a fanatical scene before, and was shocked at this time.
But Zhang Jingyi seemed very calm. He had seen small scenes, even bigger scenes than this! As a veteran leek for many years in his last life, he had snatched salt, garlic, houses, reserved new funds, and bought new stocks! It was just this? It was just a small scene.
Lu Xiangsheng seemed worried and couldn't help saying, "Xiao Guan has never seen such a scene in his life. The food price is now so high, but it is still rising. I'm afraid something will happen."
This is the truth... Almost few people retail the grain in Beijing now.
The people could only rely on the little food allocated by the court to open up retail and barely make a living.
But the imperial court's grain was limited, and everyone set up long queues every day to buy grain.
Just this, is it still the capital city, and outside the capital city?
"If this continues, I'm afraid it will cause civil unrest."
Zhang Jingyi said calmly: "No hurry, no hurry, it's still early, yes, let's report to me."
Lu Xiangsheng had no choice but to pick up a report and hand it to Zhang Jingyi.
Zhang Jing lowered his head and said that these were some sporadic news about grain traders of all sizes trying to raise money.
To be continued...
