The current market for transfer market is very good, with relatively small transaction volume and high prices. If the government starts to settle with the outside world by the end of the year and the beginning of the year, there will be a huge amount of transfers and transfer prices, and the price of transfers will be very sluggish. By April and May, the transfers at the beginning of the year will almost be consumed, and when the amount is small, the price will naturally rise.

Zhu Yuanfeng chose to trade at this time because the current price is at a high point.

Fanning's quantity was not large, only a thousand dan of tea cakes, so it was easy to find next home. In a moment, a guy led a middle-aged man into the lobby.

"This is Guanren Fan, and he has a thousand tumblers of tea and tea in his hand. We have checked it and it is true."

The guy introduced to Fanning again: "This is Mr. Luo, who is willing to trade in silver. Please sit down for two!"

The guy is very professional, briefly and accurately introducing the characteristics of the two people, without revealing the privacy of both parties. This is still willing to come forward. If the other party has a special identity and is unwilling to come forward, he can also entrust the instructing shop transaction with full authority.

Because tea quotations do not recognize people, there is a risk of forgery, so transactions are generally traded through the quotation shop, which is responsible for checking the authenticity of the quotation.

In addition, the transfer shop will also be responsible for checking the authenticity of the buyer's money store tickets. If the purchase is cheap, you can find a private vendor outside to buy and sell the transfer, and it is easy to buy fake transfers.

Because of the large transaction volume, the income of tooth gold is very generous. For example, Fanning's transaction cannot be reached, and he will give the delivery of one cent worth of the tooth gold, which is 300 guan. If the agreement is reached, it will be 900 guan. At the same time, the buyer will have to pay one cent of tooth gold.

Of course, the Zhu family’s trading shop gave the old man face, and the transaction was exempted from all the tooth money this time.

The two of them didn't greet each other and sat down at the table. Zhu Pei also wanted to go over, but Zhu Yuanfeng caught him and said with a smile: "Don't participate, let him talk, he won't suffer any losses."

Zhu Pei had no choice but to sit aside and wait.

There are rules for trading, generally silent transactions. The common method is to build a cloth pocket, and both parties trade in gestures in the cloth pocket, or trade directly in wide sleeves.

Fanning didn't understand gestures, so he had to use another method. There was a groove on the table, which could be embedded in a wooden board. Both parties entrust the client to make a bid. The advantage was that they didn't have to look at the other party's face and eyes, nor did they have to talk. If they could get the talk, they would leave.

The guy embedded the wooden board into the trough. He sat in the middle and smiled, "We should follow the rules. The transfer is based on gold and silver. The seller's quotation cannot exceed the original value. The buyer's quotation cannot be lower than 40% of the original value. Fan Guanren has a tea worth 30,000 taels of silver. Fan Guanren's quotation cannot exceed this price. Luo Yuanwai's quotation cannot be lower than 12,000 taels of silver. This is the industry rule. I hope you understand. If there is no objection, we will start."

Fanning nodded, he had no objection, and the other party nodded, and the guy smiled and said, "There are paper and pen on the table. If you don't want to write, you can also use gestures. Ordinary sellers quote first, please!"

Fan Ning thought about it and wrote the word "90% off". This was what Zhu Yuanfeng told him. If you sell it, you will not be capped or buy it. This is the sincerity of both parties. Generally, you will open a 10% off price, while the other party will bargain at 50% off.

The guy nodded and made a gesture on the other side of the wooden board. The other party was a tea merchant and traded with gestures all year round and didn't like writing.

Soon the guy wrote a 50% off on Fanning's side. Fanning was secretly happy. It seemed that the other party wanted his own tea entries very much, so he didn't use a 50% off bargaining. He immediately replied with a 20% off. Soon the other party replied with a 60% off, which means that Fanning no longer had to sell the tea entries to the entries shop.

Fanning then wrote a 20% discount. He told the other party that he would not sell it too cheaply, and the other party replied with a 30% discount.

Fanning wrote down 20% off again, and the other party replied 30% off.

The transaction below is more refined. Fanning bids another 20% off, and the other party returns a 20% off.

Next, Fanning still offered 20% off, and the other party also returned 30% off. At this price point, neither party was willing to give in.

At this time, the shop needs to break the deadlock. The guy smiled and said, "I will write a discount price. If both parties agree, the transaction will be completed at this discount price. If you don't agree, we will talk again."

The guy wrote a 79% discount. Fanning asked two points and the other party gave three points. This is not because the guy favored Fanning, but based on the bargaining level between the two parties. It is obvious that the buyer gave in a larger price, so the guy slightly favored the seller.

Both sides were silent for a moment, Fan Ning wrote the word "Agree". The other party also made a sign of agreement. The guy smiled and said, "Then let's get 70% off and get silver. Mr. Luo gave me the silver. Official Fan asked the inner hall to have tea and wait."

The man and Mr. Luo hurried away. There were the top ten money shops in the trading market in Beijing, and the silver transfer was soon completed. Fan Ning and Mr. Luo also met once. He didn't know where the other party was from and what business he was in. The same was true for the other party. Such a transaction was very easy and comfortable, and there was no need to say a word.

Fanning returned to the inner hall, and Zhu Pei immediately came up and asked, "How much is the transaction?"

Fanning smiled slightly, "70% off!"

Jupei was surprised and said: "This price is good, almost 20% off. The current market is very good!"

Zhu Yuanfeng also smiled and said, "The market is indeed good now, but Aning is also lucky. The other party should be a tea merchant and is eager to purchase goods. He went to the salt tea department to ask for the original price of 30,000 guan. Buying Aning's tea intake can save 6,000 guan. He then sold the tea cakes at a higher price. After a while, he would make at least 10,000 guan, so he would not lose at all."

Fanning's capital doubled in just half an hour. This was not a skill, but the Zhu family gave him the benefits, so he knew it very well.

Fan Ning quickly gave a deep gift, "Thank you, the old man for letting me make money!"

Zhu Yuanfeng smiled but said nothing. He could understand his elder brother's good intentions. After the imperial examination this time, Fan Ning ranked fourth in high school. I don't know how many royal family members wanted to marry him and make a marriage, but Fan Ning refused them all and still maintained his freedom. The Zhu family could not immediately express their opinions to betroth Zhu Pei to him, so they could only push back.

In this case, the Zhu family must appropriately win over Fanning, which on the one hand gives him confidence when refusing the marriage between other powerful royal families, and on the other hand, it is also a kind of compensation for Fanning.

"Old man, I don't understand a little. Tea merchants make money, and I make money too. Who will suffer a loss?"

Zhu Yuanfeng smiled and said, "This shows that the interests of salt tea are too great. The court gave some of the interests out and encouraged the people to transport grain to the border. In fact, the court still made money. If anyone suffers a loss, it will only be the people who suffer a loss. In the end, they all have to pay for salt tea."

"Can everyone transport grain to support the border?" Fan Ning asked again.

Zhu Yuanfeng hesitated and said, "This was the case during the Taizong period. The people were very enthusiastic about transporting grain to earn gifts. However, since the late emperor, the grain transport business was monopolized by the military. These traffic were all earned by the family and relatives of the border generals. The price difference they offered increased from the initial triple to five times, but the loss was the court, which was also a subsidy for the border generals. The Zhu family had a relationship with the military, so they also obtained the qualification to transport grain."

Fan Ning understood that the court subsidized a large amount of financial subsidies on military rations, but in the end it enriched the senior military officials. This was also a form of redundant soldiers in the Song Dynasty.

At this time, the shopkeeper Chen walked in and handed over a deposit note from the Zhu family money shop to Fan Ning, and returned half of the jade pendant to him. "The silver has been deposited in the Zhu family money shop. If you want to get the silver, please use this half of the jade pendant. Official Fan can confirm it."

"No need, thank you for your trouble!"

Fanning took the deposit ticket and saw that the amount above was 24,000 taels of silver. He was stunned, "Why is it more than 300 taels?"

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "This is the other party's tooth gold. Since we will not collect tooth gold in this transaction, we will replenish this tooth gold to Guanren."

"How can you be so embarrassed?"

"This is the boss' decision and it has nothing to do with us!"

Fan Ning once again expressed his gratitude to Zhu Yuanfeng.

Zhu Yuanfeng nodded with a smile, "I'll say thank you later. It's getting late, let's go!"

The shopkeeper Chen Da said to Zhu Yuanfeng: "Please rest assured by the third master. I will sell it strictly according to the plan and try to sell it at a high point."

"When I sell the last batch, I will make a statement and say that I still have a million yuan in transfers to sell and make the price cut."

"I understand!"

Fan Ning could hear clearly that the conversation between Zhu Yuanfeng and the shopkeeper Chen was actually manipulating the price of transfer, which made Fan Ning shook his head secretly. No wonder Zhu Yuanfeng said that the transaction of transfer was very bloody, and the root of it was here. I believe that Zhu Yuanfeng was not the only one who manipulated the price.

Fan Ning was originally quite interested in this kind of securities trading in the Song Dynasty, but after hearing Zhu Yuanfeng's words, he suddenly became bored. What value does a controlled securities market have to invest?

He thought that this kind of transaction was actually sucking blood from the court and the people, so he was even less interested.

...........

Zhu Yuanfeng had something to do in the afternoon. He got off the car in Zhulou on Panlou Street. Zhu Pei smiled at Fan Ning and said, "It's still early, go to Shipotian to have a look?"

Fan Ning nodded with a smile, but Tian Huangshi's business made him feel at ease. Zhu Pei immediately ordered, "Go to the Strange Stone Museum on Shuyuan Street!"

The carriage turned around and drove quickly towards the strange stone hall.

The carriage drove into Shuyuan Street from the north, and was more than a hundred steps away from the Shipotian Strange Stone Museum. Then he saw a lot of people surrounding him. This made Fanning feel an ominous feeling. He immediately shouted: "Stop!"

The carriage stopped slowly, Fanning jumped out of the carriage and walked forward quickly. Zhu Pei also quickly got off the carriage, followed by her close guard Jian Meizi.
