Fengqiao Zhenger and Xu Si signed a contract, and someone came in the next day to discuss the purchase of silver and sulfur.
The price given by silver was reasonable, and the purity of the sulfur was good. He paid some extra money to let Fengqiao Zhenger see Zhang Xiaobao's fair side in doing business.
It's just that the money in hand hasn't been warmed up yet, and in a blink of an eye, Datang has been paid a tariff. Fortunately, Zhang Xiaobao said that no one would fine if he didn't punish him.
When noon was approaching, the three of Yamamoto dared not go to Shuiyunjian for consumption. They found a restaurant on a narrow road in Luoyang. The specialty was soup and cakes. The variety in it was not bad, including sliced noodles, ramen noodles, and scorched noodles.
The three of them saw that there were sporadic fungus in the bite of the bashful noodles, so they chose this. The three of them were sweating profusely. During the checkout, Feng Qiao Zheng Er took out the rattling coins from the purse. One, one by one on the table, to show that the number is correct.
If Wang Juan sees it, he will definitely feel that this scene is very familiar. The difference lies in the number of coins. People press nine copper coins, which shows how frustrated the three are.
Not to mention, the people in the soup and cake restaurant are really big, and the three of them eat their stomachs full. They go back up after a hiccup. The taste of fungus has not returned much, it is all ginger. Yamamoto rubbed his stomach lightly and gritted his teeth and said:
"Damn it, it's delicious, I won't forget it in my life, Mr. Feng Qiao, shouldn't it be time to go back? Remember to go and have a look, just now I saw that restaurant sells biscuits, buy a few on the road to eat, but Henan Province is no better than three Water County."
"How about Sanshui County? Do you have a penny with you?" Fengqiao Zhenger understood what Yamamoto meant, and wanted to walk all the way back to Sihai Academy to buy dry food.
"Sanshui County is great. No matter if you bring sesame cakes or fried noodles, in Sanshui County, when you come across a pavilion, you can drink soup for no money in the past, catch up with a certain kind of vegetable, and you can still eat this kind of food. The pickles, in fact, don’t take food, and they don’t die from starvation. The money in both of me is used by our students for learning, so you should not squander it at will."
Yamamoto's time to speak, he took out a Luo banknote from his body.
Shansi also helped the voice: "Master Fengqiao, can't enjoy it anymore, let's walk around, eat more hardship, so that you can remember it firmly."
Feng Qiao was pursing his mouth without making a sound, but his eyes were unkind. Looking back and forth on the two people, it meant that they remembered them.
…
One day later, the news that Xu Si had taken over Fengzhi Logistics spread throughout Henan Province. Before the merchants who had fought high garlic prices together with Fengzhi Logistics, the price of garlic in Henan Province fell to the end.
From the normal price of ten cents per catty to one cent per catty, Xu Si started shipping goods under the name of Fengzhi Logistics and transported the garlic consigned by the merchants to the designated location. As for the losses caused recently, Fengzhi Logistics is willing to use it. Market price compensation.
Since the merchants of Fengzhi Logistics know that Fengqiao Zhenger wants to collect garlic, except for the first consignment, they really want to ship the garlic to the place. In other consignments, in order to save the consignment freight, they choose all nearby places, such as Delivery from one village to another nearby village.
The merchants are stupid now. Wind Logistics said it was to recover the lost garlic. It is impossible to pay three or even five times the price, and even if it is paid, it will be offset by the plan shipped from Silla, which will be five times. It's only five cents.
Because of the late delivery, repaying is different from losing. It is impossible to calculate the highest price, just use that price.
This involves a problem of human speculation. For example, the merchants who need to consign are allowed to transport logistics from one place to another. The price of the goods is the same when buying, and the same when selling. If there is a slight delay along the way, the consignment is handled. The merchant arranges the goods in advance at the place where the goods arrive, and raises the price of the goods. Does the logistics have to pay at this price
In that case, if the logistics staff deliberately lowered the price of the goods in that place, the merchant would have lost it. Therefore, the compensation is usually based on the price of the place of supply, that is, the price of the goods at the time of shipment. Because the system is not perfect, so There is no hedging.
The late arrival of the goods and the lack of them are two different things. In this way, if Fengzhi Logistics loses money, it can only lose a small part. If it loses the garlic because it has not arrived, it will lose the amount originally set.
The merchants have calculated that no matter which method of compensation, they will lose part of them in the end. Although not much, even according to the terms of the contract, some merchants can get a result of receiving and supporting the balance. This is not the case.
Because the merchants put their energy on garlic, other aspects of trading were lost during this period. No income is a loss, and all of them are unwilling to accept this result.
They really want to let Fengzhi Logistics pay in kind. For example, many garlics rot due to the delay, so this loss logistics needs to be managed. The specified time when signing the contract was set for the garlic to rot.
The merchants felt that the price of garlic could not be so low all the time, and that when it rose, they would still be able to make money once the price of garlic was restored.
But they were worried that Zhang Xiaobao was determined to deal with them. After paying for their garlic, they kept holding down the price, so that their garlic could not sell at the normal price for a period of time. In that case, some people borrowed money to collect garlic, and some were mortgaged. If the fixed assets get money to collect garlic, all the money is put on the garlic.
This part of the businessmen had no choice but to choose cash compensation, one of them did not provoke the angry Zhang Xiaobao, the two could quickly withdraw their funds and make the next investment.
Sure enough, they had just received the money paid by Wind Logistics, and the price of garlic had once again returned to normal fluctuations. The purpose of the first price reduction was to force these merchants to make a decision.
Some of these businessmen lost money and some were flat, wasting a lot of time and opportunities on garlic, but they did not get the slightest benefit.
In addition to them, there is another group of businessmen who participated in the plan to attack the logistics of the wind. They still have a lot of high-priced garlic in their hands. According to Zhang Xiaobao's statement, they will not lose money. They waited for Zhang Xiaobao to give an idea.
Feng Qiao Zheng Er and three did not leave immediately, trying to figure out how Zhang Xiaobao made others make money.
The person who did the specific operation was Xu Si. He found the subordinates of the merchants in the various rankings and first sold the remaining garlic of Fengzhi Logistics at a price of 10,000, even if the rotten skin was also transported away.
The merchants were given a recipe for making sweet garlic, and it was also a recipe for Silla. They signed a contract for the collection of sweet garlic with the merchants. That's why Silla was willing to give out so much garlic. They signed a long-term contract. The purchase contract, which is duty-free, can also get Datang's foreign exchange.
The good garlic was picked out, and the bad ones were left, and the ones that started to rot. Zhang Xiaobao asked the merchants to transport the garlic that could last for a while and then rot along the waterway to the place where the floods destroyed the field. Plant them and cultivate garlic seedlings.
What can be transported is just to use the washed ground to grow garlic seedlings. Even if the garlic is rotten, as long as it is not completely rotten, it can still grow garlic seedlings. As long as the core is not rotten, the other parts are grown for the garlic seedlings. Provide nutrients.
As for what to do when the garlic sprouts grow up, it’s simple. They can be directly made into various dishes, canned, or made into kimchi. Let the victims weave the tiger’s head altar from the branches. How to sell it? There is no need for Zhang Xiaobao to teach the top 100 merchants in the top rankings.
The businessmen negotiated through telegrams to estimate the method of operation and the price, and found that they did not indemnify.
The most important thing is that it can solve the income problem of the people in the disaster-stricken areas, and it is not difficult in terms of transportation. Those affected by floods are basically close to the river.
