Chapter 1033: Seizing food from the tiger’s mouth
Almost immediately after the incident, Chen Qu and others learned about it.
This is their first move, and they have been paying attention to it. As long as it succeeds, it will damage the credibility of Daning Bank.
The result was the opposite.
"I didn't expect Qian Dafu to come. This will be troublesome."
Xie Mao, a big salt merchant, said: "Qian Dafu alone is in charge of Daning's money and grain, which is no small matter."
Qian Dafu is a legendary figure in the business circle and is also the object of admiration for many big businessmen.
There is only one businessman who can do this.
His status is special, even the state pastor of a state must be polite to him and dare not neglect him.
Several people's expressions became much more solemn.
After that meeting, they acted quickly and recruited several wealthy businessmen to form a team.
This is for the purpose of unified arrangement and operation. After all, it is a major matter of resisting treasure money and seeking huge profits.
Now it seems that their first move failed.
"Qian Dafu came to An'an in person. It must be with His Majesty's will. He must promote the treasure banknotes. We are snatching food from the tiger's mouth!"
Xie Mao was trembling physically and mentally.
Only then did I realize how risky this was.
"The so-called wealth is gained through danger!"
Chen Qu saw that a few people were wavering, so he encouraged him: "How can anyone make money easily?"
"If you want to make money, how can you not give up? You guys, we have no choice. Don't forget that we have already given a gift to Mr. Yu, the Salt Transport Envoy."
Several people were silent.
If you want to take something first, you must give it first.
They understand this truth after doing business.
The salt industry was suspended due to the boycott of treasure money. In order to gain support from the salt administration, they united and sent a sum of money to Yu Zhiyi, the salt transport envoy.
That’s a really big deal!
Even though Liang Huai Salt was brought before him, Yu Zhiyi still accepted it.
Money moves people's hearts.
Chen Qu is right. Once you invest, you cannot stop until you earn more.
What's more, if this matter is successful, it will not be an ordinary benefit!
"I did it!"
Xie Mao gritted his teeth and said: "Because of the restructuring of Yanyin, I almost went begging. I'm not afraid of my life, I'm afraid of not having money!"
Everyone else laughed when he said this.
He also expressed what everyone was thinking.
Faced with life and money, they are more afraid of the latter.
"It's just that it's not easy to handle. Even rich people like Qian are here."
Another wealthy businessman spoke.
This man was a famous tea merchant in the Jianghuai area, his name was Hu Donglai, and he was nicknamed Tea Ba.
"Looks like we need to change our strategy."
Wu Zhong, a salt merchant, stroked his long beard and said in a low voice: "If the hard ones can't come, the soft ones will come."
"I wonder what shopkeeper Wu has to say?"
Several people looked at it with some expectation.
Shopkeeper Wu was the eldest among them and had experienced the earliest period of collecting business taxes. For Jianghuai merchants, those were the darkest days.
It was completely chaotic at that time. Many businessmen not only went bankrupt, but also lost their lives.
From then to now, one can imagine how strong it is.
This shopkeeper Wu ran a bank, and his name was once well-known in Jufengsheng.
But later, with the opening of Daning Bank, private banks were hit hard and bankruptcies continued.
Jufengsheng is becoming more and more deserted, and now it is just barely holding on.
The key is that shopkeeper Wu is knowledgeable.
Wu Zhong said: "We need to make Baochao popular first!"
"Isn't this...going against the original intention?"
Chen Qu hesitated slightly. His mission was to resist the imperial court, so how could he obey it?
"The treasure banknotes were accepted by the people, began to spread widely, and truly circulated in the market."
Wu Zhong said: "At this time, what if something goes wrong with the treasure?"
"The people no longer trust the banknotes and began to exchange them with Daning Bank on a large scale. But because too much was transferred, what should I do if Daning Bank cannot exchange them at all?"
Everyone listened with rapt attention and followed his thoughts.
"The precious money will lose its value and become waste paper!"
"That's right."
Wu Zhong said: "At this time, we can follow the previous plan. When it is time to make profits, we can open the black market and exchange treasure banknotes at low prices."
"When this happens, the imperial court will not ignore it and will definitely step in to rescue the market. The treasure banknotes we exchanged at a low price can be exchanged for silver at a premium. Isn't this making money?"
It's a bit hard to pronounce, but I can understand it.
Salt merchants often use this method to speculate on salt prices. Isn’t this how Yanyin started?
But now it's been replaced by treasure money.
"Okay, just do it!"
Xie Mao smiled and said: "We were afraid that the government would target us, so now we obey, isn't it just right?"
"Yes, we are cooperating with the government, what's the problem?"
This strategy was good. It was a roundabout way of not confronting the court directly. By the time they were about to make money, it was too late.
"This is no problem, but how can a treasure banknote that is at its peak suddenly have problems and become waste paper?"
"Supply exceeds demand."
Chen Qu said four words.
"Currently, the banknotes have not been issued across the country. There are probably only a few places. We can bring the banknotes obtained from Shangjing to Lin'an, and then make up any excuse or create a trend. As long as the exchange starts, Daning will
The bank can’t keep it anymore.”
"Yes, this is easy to do."
Wu Zhong agreed and approved Chen Qu's method.
It's really simple.
In the past, when checking salt prices, all one had to do was release the news that the court was going to restrict the purchase of salt, and the price of salt immediately rose.
Many times, the value of something is not determined by itself.
"If this is the case, our initial investment will be huge!"
Xie Mao said in a deep voice: "We have to fight against Daning Bank."
"What you said is wrong. It's all common people and merchants. We are just stimulating, first copying the rise and then copying the fall."
Wu Zhong said: "But you are right, it does require a lot of investment."
To stimulate the entire market, they have to spend money first.
However, investment and income are equal.
"Then it's decided, do it or not!"
Chen Qu must be determined.
The first meeting was a meeting, and this time it was a real fight.
"Seizing food from the tiger's mouth, I get excited just thinking about it, I'll do it!"
Tea tyrant Hu Donglai stood up.
Wu Zhong also said gloomily: "The imperial court has exploited us to an unknown extent, and it's time to make some money back."
"When I go to Huai'an and find a few more big businessmen, I will be more confident with more people and strength."
Xie Mao also gritted his teeth.
"Then it's decided."
Chen Qu has very strong organizational skills.
"This is our secret stronghold. Everyone must have a clear division of labor, but one thing is good. We must spend money together. Don't think about fishing in troubled waters!"
"agree!"
"We can't leak the information. In order to guarantee it, we signed an agreement."
"good!"
It was settled in a few words.
This time it is obviously more formal.
Chapter completed!
