Chapter 201 Actor Cultivation
On the evening of that day, after the shops of eight joint shops closed, several shopkeepers began to quickly allocate inventory to Suzhou Prefecture to avoid out of stock.
At night, in the Rishenglong business, several shopkeepers gathered together again. Their faces were no longer as calm as midday, and they became a little more gloomy.
Feeling something wrong with the indoor atmosphere, Zhang Jie said out loud: "I think there was a run in your business this afternoon. Even if I don't say it, you should know who did it. Everyone should tell me what they think."
"Shopkeeper Zhang, I, Siming Business Company, can no longer hold on. If this continues, I will probably have to spit out all the profits we have made in front."
The first one to speak was Shi University of the Siming Business in Zhejiang. Unlike others, other businesses were run with loaned tickets. As long as the price of the goods was reduced and the price of the tickets was raised, those who came to run with loaned tickets expired, and those who went to collect high-priced coupons to repay, there would be a significant loss in the middle. And here, those who were run not only used tickets to exchange, but also as long as they lowered the price, those who were sold had sold tickets together, which made him a little unbearable.
Zhang Jie said: "Shopkeeper Shi, don't worry. I have heard about Siming Business. But what I am curious about is that those people don't seem to target Siming Business. And whether they use raw silk coupons or cash-filled silver, they are all white raw silk. Why do they want so much white raw silk? Where did the plague cause death and a large number of people? These people want to make some difference?"
Manager Shi shook his head and said, "Now they are buying tickets and selling shorts with a lot of money, but they are buying raw silk, which doesn't seem to be so different? Even if they eat rice coupons at this time, the profit is not comparable to raw silk. Does Manager Zhang think they value the profit of such raw silk?"
When Manager Qin from Kangwang Grain and Oil Company saw that Manager Shi mentioned the rice coupon, he couldn't help but feel a little angry, and thought to himself, "You are not unlucky enough, and you still want to bring the rice market." He said, "Now the Siming Business Company is not the only one who is being run. The ones they exchanged for in Siming Business Company are just white raw silk. Aren't your silk and other raw silk still safe? We are different, but they are being run in a full range. If Manager Shi is still complaining, it would be a bit pretentious."
"you……"
"Okay, okay, you two, don't argue. Let's think about how to get through the runs in the past few days. Otherwise, once several of our businesses cut off their supply, it will definitely cause bad speculation, and the run will only be even more fierce."
After Zhang Jie finished speaking, Shopkeeper Shi and Shopkeeper Qin snorted coldly before stopping the quarrel.
Manager Duan of Fuda said: "Don't you find it strange? According to our plan, since the price of tickets has been raised, those private people who collect coupons at low prices should stop. However, when I went out today, I saw someone collecting coupons at low prices, and the number of people has not decreased. Could it be that some people will sell coupons at low prices at this time?"
"It must be the ones who borrowed tickets. If they want to suppress the price of the coupon, they will naturally sell it. If we stabilize the price here, they can only seek help from the people. But they are also in a hurry to seek medical treatment. Those people are buying at a low price, and they sell it to us at a high price. As long as the price here does not drop, the coupon price will not drop. Their move is pretty bad."
Manager Duan shook his head and denied the statement of Manager Wu of Dashenghai, "I don't think so. I sent someone to check it. The number of people collected was not large. If they were thrown at this amount, they would not even be able to throw it out even in the Year of the Monkey and Horse Month."
Zhang Jie said: "Can it be that many people don't know about the news that we raised the price? After all, it only takes half a day, like Wan Yutai has raised the price for one day. Isn't there still many people who don't know about the news?"
Manager Duan always felt that something was wrong, but except for this explanation, he could not think of other reasons. This time, for Fuda Business, it was a matter of more money and less money. No matter who was running, it was not a problem for them. After all, selling salt requires salt induction. Even if several companies that borrow salt coupons were joined together, they could not get so many salt inductions. After they ran, they could only exist in the warehouse to eat slowly.
"Since Zhang thinks it's okay, I won't say much. Everyone should think of ways to deal with the runs in the past few days. I have sent someone to transport salt from Zhejiang, Yangzhou, Huai'an to Suzhou Prefecture. I will arrive in Suzhou early tomorrow morning. The salt from Fujian will arrive in three days at the latest. I think it's not a problem to deal with it in ten days."
The other shopkeepers also said it all in one word and I then transferred how many goods they had arrived in Suzhou. Zhang Jie made a rough calculation and found that these goods should be enough to cope with this period of time.
Just as everyone was making sure Wuyou was about to leave, Manager Qin from Kangwang Grain and Oil Company asked, "If we take some businesses and borrow tickets, should we borrow them again?"
This time, without waiting for Zhang Jie to speak, the shopkeeper Shi, who was a little inconsistent with the shopkeeper Qin, mocked him: "Why, just such a small run scared the shopkeeper Qin? The share of the loan now is not enough to fill the losses on the silk stockings of my Siming Store."
Zhang Jie said: "Shopkeeper Shi said it well. Of course we have to borrow it. We will give as much as they want. But this time, we can't just collect some seals and lent the tickets. They also have to mortgage their own business's dry shares. Otherwise, huh, let them lose hundreds of thousands of taels and leave the market. The coupon price will be increased by 30% tomorrow. As long as they don't want to mortgage, they will let them get some blood. Since they dare to grab food in the tiger's mouth, they will have to bear the consequences of being eaten by the tiger."
After Zhang Jie said that, the shopkeepers showed a bloodthirsty smile on their faces.
Early the next morning, before dawn, the canal dock of Suzhou Midu Bridge was full of ships of all sizes, with flags of major merchants hanging on it.
Even the ports of Changshu Port and Taicang were densely packed with ships. As soon as the water gate opened, the cargo on the ship was loaded into the carriage and transported to various shops and warehouses in Suzhou Prefecture.
Zhu Youjian and Qiancai arrived here early in the morning at the dock of Miedu Bridge. Among these ships, there were also their ten ships of cargo. After seeing the eight joint merchants, people thought that this was also the temporary allocation of materials by Wan Yutai to deal with the run. However, no one expected that all of these were money and exchanged white raw silk in Zhejiang under the name of other merchants, and all the ten ships were full of them.
All the carriers who were responsible for loading the goods were their own personnel, and none of the carriers on the docks were hired. Therefore, except for themselves, no one knew what was covered under the tarpaulin.
