Chapter 323 Commercial Transactions
Cheng Jinzhou regularly buys supplies, which is known to all commercial firms in De'an.

Since he has always paid in cash and has a very good business reputation, firms are willing to do business with him.Being able to invite principals from more than 200 firms was not only based on the face of the astrologist.Especially considering that some people are inevitably the spokespersons of noble families, it is even more difficult to invite so many business houses.

The specific matters were announced by Shi Yan as usual, and Cheng Jinzhou listened quietly.He is an aristocrat, and if he directly participates in business activities, he will be looked down upon by others.

Shi Yan is about to be 18 years old, and he has grown up very quickly. His originally handsome boy face has also been imprinted with the roughness of some men. Standing among a group of old people, he said in a peaceful alto voice: "Everyone knows the specific rules. Today The materials purchased for the first time are: tea, tin ore and lead ore, imported and exported at a par price; silk, satin, silk yarn, iron ore, cotton and linen, with a [-]% increase in price; wool, iron ingots, lead ingots, tin ingots, and talc, with a price increase [-]%; alum, green alum, blue gall alum, soil sail, white sail, increase the price by [-]%; clove, woody incense, Atractylodes macrocephala, increase the price by [-]%; licorice, agarwood increase the price by [-]%..."

His quotations are all price increases on the cost price of various commodities.Because De'an is a distribution center for bulk commodities, and the people present are all big businessmen with a monopoly nature, so the cost of a commodity can basically be guessed fairly closely.

Commodities that come in and out at a reasonable price, one is because they are produced near De'an, and the other is because there is a recent downward trend.

In fact, ever since Cheng Jinzhou took control of the coal mines in De'an, the tin mines in Tongxian County near the capital, and the steam engines purchased from the Holy Church, the prices of mineral raw materials in various places have been falling all the time—the mine owners like small coal mines. There are reasons for cost reduction, and there are also reasons for supply and demand. Only people like Xiao Cheng will put all their efforts into production regardless of the relationship between output and sales.

Except for the rebuilding time that is waiting to be rebuilt, any mine owner who aims to make money will not try his best to spend a lot of money to dig more coal and tin mines. In the era of difficult transportation, the sales area Restricted, if the local handicraft industry does not develop greatly, the output will be more, but the price will be lower.

Some people are willing to buy supplies in large quantities, which is what businessmen are most welcome.

Some of the gentlemen of the firm took notes with quill pens with their own ink, and some stretched their necks to wait for the servants to announce the species numbers on the whiteboard.

After Shi Yan finished reading, someone in the center of the crowd immediately shouted: "How much is the total amount?"

"How much? How long?" Many people asked questions, especially those gentlemen who kept mines. They were planning to sell supplies to the Cheng family, so they were more eager.

The profit-seeking mentality of businessmen can easily form an industry chain.When Cheng Jinzhou bought linen for the first time, shrewd businessmen began to buy linen from commercial firms; At that time, some production areas began to expand the scale of planting...

In the world of capital, the development of the industrial chain is gradually enlarged, and often has the characteristics of lag and continuity.

This is true for all kinds of materials. Merchants don't care what you are buying the materials for. They only care about whether you have the desire to purchase continuously and whether you are willing to pay more for the scarcity of materials.Profit chasers are like flies who call themselves servants of the Father when they lick the floor in churches, servants of the people when the government licks the floors, servants of the God of Cookery when they lick the floors in cafeterias, and servants of God when they lick the floors in toilets Servant of the dung beetle.

The products Shi Yan named are almost all over the business scope of various commercial firms.The announced list was like flannelette that ignited fire, and it immediately ignited the enthusiasm of everyone. They not only asked questions loudly, but also communicated with each other.

Cheng Jinzhou saw that what they said was almost done, he stood up slowly, and said, "Everyone, let me say a few words."

When the astromancer spoke, everyone stopped talking almost immediately and remained silent.

"Explain a few points." Cheng Jinzhou took out a few flying tickets from his sleeve and said, "Because of the huge quantity purchased this time, all transactions are based on flying tickets. All I have are flying tickets of 1 taels of silver." Tickets, if there is a fraction, then pay with silver or gold, in other words, if the materials you store are not worth 1 taels of silver, you don’t need to participate. I’m talking about spot goods.”

Even though 1 taels of silver may not sound like much, if it is simply converted into modern banknotes, it is still 30 US dollars.The abundance of materials in Daxia is definitely not comparable to that of China in the early 20th century, so it is conceivable that in this era of scarcity of materials, having a spot stock of 1 taels of silver is at least a large merchant at the regional level.If it is a trader, the liquidity in his hands will be several times that.

Cheng Jinzhou stared down, and the merchants below looked at him intently.Occasionally, two or three people would whisper to each other, their voices lowered.There must be some among them who have less than 1 taels of silver in stock, but considering that merchants can completely merge their inventories, no one will be scared away because of that simple request.Such a businessman should have been crushed by his peers long ago.

"After finishing the request, it's some preferential terms." Cheng Jinzhou stuffed the flying ticket back into his sleeve, and said, "Since this year, I know that there are quite a few businesses that have planted jute, ramie, etc. in the production area, and also have tea. And cotton, very good. I think these merchants are truly beneficial to common development, so this acquisition will give priority to them and increase the price by half."

After hearing what he said, Shi Yan immediately added a sentence: "For all products with increased prices, the merchant must prove that they are newly produced this year."

He is worried that some merchants will hand over supplies to these merchants, thereby raising the overall price.

Cheng Jinzhou didn't think too much, nodded approvingly, and handed over the control to Shi Yan again.

Purchasing bulk goods is a simple and troublesome thing.With the current prestige and status of the Cheng family, it is very easy to make any transactions, but the quantity of goods is so large that many of them fail to arrive at the port, so the transaction process begins. In order to speed up the progress, they will even send people to other places first boat, and then check the settlement all the way.

Cheng Jinzhou received supplies in pieces.Shi Yan knew a little bit that his third brother was studying a special star array, so he held all the accounts in his hands.When other people don't reconcile their accounts, they don't know where there are more materials and where there are fewer materials.

The huge De'an port has an intermittent length of more than 20 kilometers and a width of four to five kilometers. Thousands of ships come and go every day. Such a large throughput makes Xiaocheng swallow a little, just like Like helping monkeys get rid of fleas, no one can feel the reduction.

Except for embezzling some "state-owned assets" in the afternoon and evening, Cheng Jinzhou spent the rest of his time reviewing his homework.Learning this kind of thing is like losing weight. It should be staged in the initial stage. If you can persist and advance, you can become a bodybuilder. But no matter whether there are higher requirements, a certain period of time is always needed.

Yisu's strong training has also paid off. He managed to walk upright on both feet. Although his speed was slower than climbing and he often fell down, when he acted, he looked like a little bear—if the tree bag A bear is really a bear.

Foye's attitude tended to return to normal. He no longer discriminated against Cheng Jinzhou as he did at the beginning, but he was not as humble as Dr. Cheng Da was when he brought out the real rice.

His change made Cheng Jinzhou look down on him more and more. Even ordinary salespeople must maintain some basic principles. Buddha's approach is too utilitarian, making it harder to gain success and benefit.

It took more than half a month to deliver about 200 million taels of goods. Cheng Jinzhou earned a total of 620 million star dollars, which was 500% more than the estimated 50 million star dollars. Thanks to the newly produced jute and Ramie brings the price down a bit.The production of cotton and satin also increased, because Cheng Jinzhou continued to sell grain, which played a disguised role in stabilizing prices, making the nobles who aimed to obtain money change the products grown on the land one after another.

From this point of view, Cheng Jinzhou's purchase of bulk materials has profoundly changed Daxia's production structure, and it is bound to continue to change.

After paying 480 million star yuan for the purchase of first-grade cotton fruit, Cheng Jinzhou took the remaining money, opened the finger and said, "Buddha, today's book?"

"30 books at a time, after you read them, you can change them for others." Foye is much more lazy than customer service 010, and he also has new ways to be lazy.

Cheng Jinzhou is happy with his approach. Although there are fewer opportunities to choose, it is much more convenient.

Some are like supermarkets with one commodity instead of kiosks with three commodities.

""On the Vibration Theorem of Some Objects Connected by Soft Strings and Vertically Hanging Chain Lines." Cheng Jinzhou read it almost to himself, and said, "It seems to be Bernoulli's article."

As he spoke, he took out a pen and paper and began to copy.

In terms of the current development of Great Xia, this paper written in the middle of the 18th century is difficult to play a practical role, but Cheng Jinzhou will spend a lot of time carefully copying it, which is in line with the Buddha's intention, holding back his Star Alliance level, so as not to leave control.

For different purposes, Yisu deliberately did not mention Cheng Jinzhou, which quickly slowed down the increase in his Star Alliance points.

After reading 30 books in sequence, the sky darkened.

Cheng Jinzhou took matters into his own hands, sorted away the copied papers, and closed the ring sleepily.

At this time, the koala slowly crawled back, raised the wicker at its feet and said, "Have you finished copying?"

"I used to be able to transcribe nearly a hundred copies a day, but now there are only 30 copies left." Cheng Jinzhou said casually.

Yisu raised his neck and said with difficulty: "The quality has increased."

"Find a way to speed up the steps." Cheng Jinzhou was aware of his slowness, and said again: "I wonder if there is a second-level record star array..."

"It's a waste." Yisu persuaded in a low voice.He didn't want his hidden agent to be noticed by the Covenant.

The agent who is obliterated in the dark is the most ordinary agent.

Unexpectedly, Cheng Jinzhou only hesitated for a moment, and then said: "The star points I added are useless, I should contact Mahron to ask."
