Chapter 165 Floods and beasts

What is the most important thing in doing business?

Very simple, two words, channel!

The so-called business is actually a process of material circulation. The reason why Taobao in later generations was able to become a super enterprise worth nearly one trillion yuan with a shopping website without physical properties is because it provides a super trade.

channel.

Although the price of spices is expensive on the market, and often has no market price, it still belongs to the category of luxury goods. Therefore, if you want to cash out the spices of these ten boats, you must have one that can be swallowed.

Take so many super channels to digest it.

Why did Chu Tianxiu spend so much effort to compile a lie, win over hundreds of gangs, and establish a money alliance? In addition to his fondness for the human and material resources in these gangs, he also looked like this.

A channel owned by a hundred gangs.

If there is no such huge drainage channel as the Money Alliance, then Chu Tianxiu's request is actually difficult, because even a high-door valve like Li Valve, Yu Wen Valve, and Song Valve would not be able to eat it in one breath

Many luxury goods.

But because of the existence of the super channel of the Money Alliance, Chu Tianxiu's request is just a test. Let's see if Chu Qian has completely solved the channels of the Money Alliance and can quickly adapt these things.

Spices are monetized.

The final result made Chu Tianxiu very satisfied. In just three days, Chu Qian, who was gritting his teeth, found enough buyers to quickly sell these spices and put them into the spices.

Most of the goods were sold for five million stones of grain, fifty thousand taels of gold, five million taels of silver, fifty thousand pieces of cloth, fifty thousand pieces of silk, fifty thousand pieces of silk, three thousand pieces of weapons, two hundred horses, five hundred heads

Plowing ox, eight hundred Goguryeo maids, and other miscellaneous bulk supplies.

This price is indeed sold at a discount, and most of the materials are just a per-price contract. It takes several months to transport food, gold, silver, and materials, but only by the speed and ability of this monetization

It was enough to make Chu Tianxiu sigh, and it felt like a small sapling raised by his own home finally grew into a dazzling golden tree.

"Old Twelve, next, I have to let you be busy with something! This matter is related to my life and death in the future, so you must do it well. The speed can be slower, but there must be no mistake in the end.

”

There was a plan that had fallen into Chu Tianxiu's heart for a long time, but due to the immaturity of the time and the lack of suitable personnel, the plan was stuck in his heart. But since Chu Qian has such talent in business

, then you can hand over this matter to him.

On the surface, this is a good thing.

Generally speaking, if the current price of grain on the market is 100 yuan per dou, then if I buy 10,000 stones of grain futures, it is agreed to be delivered in three months, and then I will sell it in three months.

When I use this futures, no matter whether the price of grain rises or belittles in the future, I will get that ten thousand stones of grain.

"Master, are you talking about the kind of futures trading you imagined that you can buy short and sell short, and can be used to manipulate the world's grain prices? If I, Chu Qian, can participate in such a big event, then even if I am broken into pieces in the future, I will be willing."

Since the disciple has ambition, Chu Tianxiu naturally would not not give him this opportunity and immediately said:

In today's era, the impact of grain prices is too great! Even during the Taiping New Year, droughts, floods, and insect disasters are everywhere, causing food prices to fluctuate continuously. Not to mention that it is now a chaotic era at the end of the Sui Dynasty.

The food and grass consumed will inevitably surge, and the food price will easily break through the sky, and the existence of futures can reduce the risk of price increases.

Therefore, there is no need to doubt that as long as this futures market is established, there will be a steady stream of merchants coming here to conduct sales contracts, especially those maritime merchants who were motivated by Chu Tianxiu, who will be addicted to it and use it as a tool to digest it.

The wealth they plundered from the sea.

Therefore, after Chu Tianxiu proposed this matter, it immediately aroused Chu Qian's career and ambition and spoke resolutely.

Chu Ren, Chu Yi, Chu Xin, Chu Qian and other fifteen brothers were almost all orphans trained by Chu Tianxiu. Due to the teaching conditions at that time and Chu Tianxiu's teaching experience, he taught these fifteen.

When I was a disciple, I really taught everything and said whatever I thought of, regardless of whether they could learn it or not. If they learned it well, they would not be afraid that they would become crooked.

If it were Chu Ren, Chu Yi, Chu Xin and other brothers who loved to learn martial arts here, they would have probably talked about Chu Tianxiu for two days in a fog. In fact, even he didn't understand the economy very much.

The course was left behind, but Chu Qian, who was extremely talented in economics, had actually been obsessed with it for a long time and had already sprouted in his heart.

"Okay! Since you have the courage, let it go! I will take half of the materials you exchanged with spices these days, and I will take half of the silver and grains in one month, and I will temporarily hand over the rest to you.

Give you the capital for the future.”

In essence, futures are just a trading contract and a financial tool to reduce risks. Its most important function is to hedge, thereby achieving the goal of reducing risks.

...

The so-called futures are actually very common and extremely terrifying financial instruments in later generations. They are completely different from spot. Spot is a real commodity that can be traded. Futures are mainly not goods, but a kind of agreement that agrees on grain, iron ore, and coal mines.

Future price contract.

"I wonder if you remember that I have taught you about 'futures'? I wonder if I asked you to set up a grain futures exchange, would you be confident?"

However, as long as any financial instrument falls into the hands of "humans", under the trend of human greed, even if there is a good original intention at the beginning, it will distort its essence and become a greedy and terrible human-eating person-eating

monster.

After the establishment of this futures market, the benefits it derived can only be described as astronomical numbers. Don’t look at the gold hidden in Yang Gong’s treasure house, at least 200,000 to 300,000 taels. However, the future returns of this futures market are

It is completely possible to calculate the Yang Gong Treasure House as a calculation unit.

Not only the interests, but the most terrifying thing about futures lies in its existence, which gives Chu Tianxiu a terrible tool that can manipulate grain prices, allowing him to directly use grain prices as a weapon to attack those he believes are "no."

Enemies of friendly forces.

If Chu Tianxiu's lie about Yang Gong's treasure house only opened a gap in Pandora's magic box, then his behavior this time completely opened Pandora's magic box, which would be called "capital".

The flood and beast were completely released.
