Chapter 946: Get Rich Overnight(1/2)
There is nothing in this world that cannot be solved by money.
Because there are people on this land, and these simple people have hard-working hands.
Fang Jifan has an accurate understanding of this.
Once steelmaking is made, the railway line will be laid, and the future returns can be guaranteed. Since someone takes over in the future, what investment are you still worried about?
Zhu Hou could tell Fang Jifan's correct words, as if he had taken a reassurance pill and was in a very comfortable mood.
"I heard that the trading market is crazy?" Zhu Houzhao said with a smile.
Fang Jifan said calmly: "This group of damn profiteers is really annoying."
…………
The trading market is indeed crazy.
Now, this trading market is overcrowded and has become a place where countless merchants occupy it.
Actually, this is understandable.
The form of trading has undergone drastic changes.
The road I used to have nowhere to go.
Not only the merchants in the capital, but even nearby prefectures and counties, or even merchants from afar, are almost always willing to spend here now.
A special tea room was set up here, where everyone gathered together, got to know each other and exchanged various messages.
You should know that merchants are often the people in this world who are most sensitive to information. For them, any message may bring huge wealth.
Therefore, there are endless people coming here, with thousands or even tens of thousands of people aborting every day.
The goods displayed can be traded at any time.
The exchanged messages may also be cashed out at any time.
Even a contract may have passed the hands of several people within a few days.
The Xishan Money House opened here is also the most lively, with countless silver banknotes, either saving at any time or cashing out immediately, and the front hall is full of people.
This is a new door, and it turns out that doing business can be done like this.
And the topics on these days are always indispensable.
The price of pig iron has doubled in one day, and has been rising for several days since then.
People are going crazy.
Every merchant is trying to find a source of goods.
“Is there any pig iron?”
"Look at me, I'm afraid I will continue to rise."
"It's rising again, it's rising, and three copper coins per pound."
People have witnessed one miracle after another here.
Yesterday, he might have been just an unknown businessman, but his assets doubled overnight, and he became rich overnight, becoming the object of praise for everyone.
The previous trading model was a transaction between acquaintances. Even if they were acquaintances, they were usually just correspondence.
But here, I receive countless messages every day, just like later generations. A person with no knowledge suddenly became proficient in the Internet, and the influx of knowledge began to explode. Economics, military, entertainment, and almost all messages. In just a few months, a person who had not understood any military organization and did not understand any economic activities could become an excellent keyboard economist, military strategist, well-informed person in the keyboard entertainment industry and... Six scholars.
Even a news that happened from the remote Fujian Provincial Administration Commission might have been brought here and then it began to spread widely.
And now... iron... iron.
In the market, pig iron continues to rise, but the scarce pig iron on the market continues to pour out. It is reported that many merchants colluded with eunuchs who dug iron ore in the local area. Some people also say that many pig iron flowed out from their own manufacturing bureaus.
However, no one will ask about the source of pig iron, and it doesn't matter. What's important is that pig iron can be exchanged for silver.
Many people's eyes were red, of course... there were other channels for pig iron, and merchants set their sights outside the far pass.
In fact, merchants are unfamiliar with outside the pass.
But they knew that there were a large amount of iron ore outside the pass, and those iron ore were not run by the government...
This is enough.
The center of the entire trading market is a small circular hall.
This place is called a trading center.
Anyone who wants to buy goods is willing to have someone put a sign here.
For example, now, this trading center is full of various signs.
"Cook high-quality silk, two taels and four cents per piece, seven hundred pieces."
"Collection of wood, six hundred dollars a square..."
Of course, more brands are hung with: "Carry pig iron, 152 qian per catty!"
The sign was just now, but soon, the sign was removed: "Cook pig iron, 160 yuan per catty."
It seems...even if it is, no one cares about it, and the sign continues to be hung: "Cook pig iron, 165 qian per catty!"
Like a lantern, the signs were hung out crazily. Countless merchants stood below, looking at the renovated signs, their eyes were red, and they almost went crazy.
If you have pig iron, you will be rich in a few days.
I heard that Xishan is making steel now, and many furnaces have begun to be built, and the pig iron of the future... will only rise all the way.
...
Many big bosses, at this moment... are no longer interested in spending their efforts on purchasing pig iron.
Because it is completely unnecessary.
Almost all the pig iron on the market has been plundered.
Rather than spending time on acquisition, it is better to...
Action must be fast!
It is said that there is pig iron in the Hexi Corridor... I also heard that steelmaking is not just pig iron, but also has a huge demand for coal. There is a large number of exposed coal mines in Xuanfu. The government did not regard coal as an official business, but was afraid that it would send people to Xuanfu immediately to establish a good relationship with the local parents and officials, so it had to buy some coal mines.
Carriages that were pulling goods were ready.
Countless civilians have been recruited.
There are also all joints along the way, and people need to be sent to open them immediately.
This journey is certainly far away.
The transportation cost is not low.
But until now, if this trend continues... it is not accurate.
Not only that, many merchants in various places also know the iron ore and many merchants.
You should know that although it is the official pig iron, it can be bought and sold, the premise is that production must be increased.
What these merchants are best at is entrepreneurship.
Which iron ore can increase production and get goods? What is the name of the eunuch who guards, where is his home...who is from...
The pig iron in the Hexi Corridor is said to be of extremely high quality and the cheapest price...
After finding out the way, there were countless cars and horses and they started to set off.
When we set off, the car was loaded with countless food and daily necessities.
It is said that in Hexi, the food price is very high, and many necessities of life are priced one or two times that of the Guanxi Palace.
These things were sent to Hexi and then loaded with pig iron to return. Through the calculations of many people, it was profitable.
Of course, the most important thing is that the appearance of the four-wheeled carriage made all this possible.
In the past, carriages carried less cargo and were time-consuming and labor-intensive.
But the four-wheeled carriage is different, it is stable, fast, and has a large loading capacity.
Of course, the most important thing is that after the Tatars outside the pass were conquered, a large number of horses began to pour into the pass. These Mongolian horses, which were cheap, hard-working, and fortunately raised, were really rare animal powers.
It seems that the road along the way is a little farther, but in fact, most of the northern regions are plains, with almost no too many hills. Just follow the official road and go west. If you rush more quickly, in fact... it will take only one or two months to go back and forth.
This is different from the south. The south has many mountains and rivers, and it may even be several miles away. There is a river and a mountain in the middle. These miles will take several days to delay.
On that official road, countless chariots and horses were already set off before dawn. They were carrying the road guides or found some recommendation letters from big names. Teams of chariots and horses were vast and continuous.
The carriages in the Xishan Horse Manufacturing Workshop are now almost working hard, and the orders have been scheduled for the New Year, but people's demand for cargo carriages has not stopped.
In order to increase the transportation volume, the craftsman tried his best to improve the carriage...
The workshops for chariot and horse manufacturing seem to be preparing to expand production.
Wang Jinyuan was willing to spend a lot of money on the acquisition of bulk pig iron. The price rose as soon as it rose. He still wanted as much as possible. His Royal Highness was urging him urgently. If he delayed His Royal Highness's plan, he would really kill him.
but……
Looking at the accounts carefully...
