Chapter 1267 Collapse

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The skyrocketing price of licorice started to drive people who had lost money in the raw lacquer trade crazy, as they seemed to see hope.

    In order to recoup their losses, many people are willing to go bankrupt to enter the market, while other local businesses have begun to see the hope of making big money.

    They began to enter the market as a group and began to fight in the enclosure, just as Zhao Wengu expected.

    The most bizarre scene broke out, not only in Panyu, but almost in the entire Lingnan area.

    In all the cities, countless people began to stop working on production and worked tirelessly to do business. The money they earned in their lifetime was not as much as what they made in one wave of trends.

    With such good things ahead, who is willing to make money honestly?

    People's hearts began to lose their temper, and people began to go crazy.

    Every day, the restaurants and brothels outside are full of people in twos and threes.

    They gathered together and began to discuss the matter of speculation. The price of licorice had been increased to ten times the original price.

    This made many people¡¯s hearts agitated, and many people gritted their teeth and took action directly after suffering the loss of raw paint.

    However, this time is different from last time. As long as they dare to sell, someone will immediately start to acquire a large number of them!

    "It's like a giant gold-swallowing beast has grown on the land of Lingnan. No matter how much licorice is thrown out, it will be swallowed in one bite. In the end, there won't even be a splash of water.

    Although it is inconvenient for many dignitaries to do so in person, they still make a lot of money.

    The licorice needed by the small court of South Vietnam was purchased directly from the Han Dynasty, and there was a dedicated person responsible for docking every year. Although there was a lot of commotion outside, they still did not take it seriously.

    On the contrary, because of the frequent buying and selling in the past few months, the tax revenue has actually increased.

    This made Zhao Tuo, the King of South Vietnam, very happy. According to this tax growth rate, the country will become rich and the people will be strong just around the corner.

    As for the price fluctuations in the market, how could he care about these businessmen when he has lived in the palace for a long time?

    After all, in this mainly agricultural society, businessmen have a low social status, and those big businessmen are almost all spokespersons of aristocratic families.

    As for the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, most of them are also vested interests. Many of them are the most aggressive people in the hype, so naturally they will not open their mouths to destroy their own jobs.

    "And those gentlemen completely look down on those businessmen, who are synonymous with filth in their eyes.

    For the sake of a small profit, one by one digs holes in the mountains, and the businessmen naturally don't bother to care about it.

    Without the intervention of the imperial court, the extreme desire for wealth began to slowly change its flavor. Without the restrictions of the law, desire began to grow into a poisonous dragon that swallowed the sky and the earth.

    After all, licorice is a kind of medicinal material. If you have a patient at home, in order to get some licorice to make medicine, you have to go all over the world to ask for medicine.

    The more people who want to buy this thing, the more the price of this thing will skyrocket. By the ninth day of August, the price of this thing has reached fifteen times the original price!

    More and more people are selling, and people are starting to get scared, but some people are still buying.

    There is even a saying that seems to make sense in Panyu City. If you want to make a lot of money, you have to be greedy when others are fearful and fearful when others are greedy.

    This sentence does not sound problematic on its own, but it is different at this time.

    This immediately became the wise words of those businessmen. Since it makes sense, then continue to buy!

    On August 12, the price started to skyrocket again, directly rising to twenty times the original price!

    In just three days, they actually lost five times their profits. This made countless people beat their chests, and each of them began to regret it. At the same time, they also regarded this weird business rule as a guide.

    Since they regretted it, they naturally wanted to buy it again. So, under the influence of greed, they bought it again at a high price at any cost.

    There are not a few such people, and they are all small businessmen in cities everywhere!

    Finally, when the price of licorice reached a sky-high price of twenty-five times, the price began to plummet for the first time.

    August 20th is a day that makes the entire South Vietnam cry. A large amount of licorice suddenly began to appear on the market.

    This made many people smell something that they could not smell, and the fearful people began to throw out their opinions one after another.

    Long queues formed at the entrance of major pharmacies, and people started selling their own licorice like crazy.

    In order to be faster, some people even started to set up stalls to sell in the market.The court turned a blind eye to this kind of thing. As long as the taxes were paid, they didn't ask about anything else. This made the matter even worse.

    Although the licorice they hold is nothing compared to the huge total, their actions are spreading panic.

    Local merchants sensed that something was wrong, and they began to consciously protect the market, maintaining high prices for licorice, and at the same time began to buy in large quantities.

    However, the sudden appearance of licorice on the market was like falling from the sky, and the overwhelming amount of licorice directly filled their warehouse.

    What¡¯s more, what¡¯s even more frightening is that the price of this licorice is still falling. On the 20th alone, the price of this licorice dropped from the highest price by nearly 50% of the total price!

    This cliff-like falling speed suddenly became everyone¡¯s deepest nightmare.

    The price of a commodity has never been related to the commodity itself, only the scarcity of the commodity itself.

    "When something starts to go out on the street, how can the price rise so high? When everyone starts selling crazily and fleeing, how can a few businessmen stop it

    The hype for so many days is like a dream. Now this dream is beginning to turn into a nightmare, but countless people are unwilling to wake up.

    Xu Liuzi sat dejectedly in his big house. In front of him, dozens of big pockets were filled with licorice.

    He spent a lot of money to buy them all, but now, everything is over

    All his money is here, and the house has been mortgaged to someone else. Tomorrow morning, someone else should come to collect the bill.

    Gorgeous silk clothes were placed in front of him. Untouchables were not allowed to wear silk, so he only dared to enjoy himself at home.

    Reaching out and stroking the smooth silk, he couldn't figure out where he went wrong

    The sky is getting dark, but the depreciation of licorice has not stopped.

    There are still people in the market who do not believe in evil and are purchasing licorice. However, the price they purchase is even lower than the purchase price of licorice in the place of origin.

    Their existence has further aggravated the collapse of licorice prices, but even so, there are still people who are desperate and sell to them (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
