Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Zhao Hao did not expect that collecting the silk did not annoy him, but after collecting the silk, it annoyed him quite a lot.

    Since Xuelang took out the 20,000 taels of silver, he came to his house almost every day to report.  Not only did he not talk about it, but he kept nagging behind him all day long, asking when the price would go up and if it would go down.  When will the sea open, or will it not open?  It made Zhao Hao's head two big.

    Later, Tang Youde came back from collecting the silk and joined the team of eating rice.  He had staked almost all his funds and had trouble sleeping and eating at home, so he simply came with Xuelang to harass Zhao Hao.

    Zhao Hao was annoyed by the two of them. He could not be chased away, and he had nowhere to hide, so he was looking forward to good news as soon as possible so that he could be relieved as soon as possible.

    Fortunately, within a few days, a carrier pigeon from the Huizhou Chamber of Commerce brought news from the capital.

    His Majesty the Emperor formally approved the memorial of Tu Zemin, the governor of Fujian and the censor of the capital, "please open the market for shipping, and trade privately for public trading", and ordered the cabinet to work with the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of War to jointly formulate detailed rules for opening the sea.

    Once the news spread, the price of silk, which had already risen to more than one tael, immediately doubled to two taels and three taels of silver per kilogram of silk!

    The market was suddenly booming. In Nanjing alone, more than 100,000 kilograms of raw silk were traded every day. If you add Su Songchang Town, Zhejiang and other places, the number of raw silk transactions would be countless.

    Tang Youde has been doing business for half his life and has never experienced such an exciting situation.  In one day, I earned more than thirty thousand taels!

    He was completely in a state of mania. No matter how much cold drinks he drank, he could not suppress his restless heart.

    Even Xuelang was fed up with food and couldn't sleep at night. He came over with a pair of dark circles under his eyes and asked Zhao Hao in a hissing voice: "Donor Zhao, let's go sell it!"

    "There's no rush." ??Only Zhao Hao remained unhurried. He leaned lazily on the recliner and smiled at the two people who were sitting on pins and needles: "Wait and see."

    "Young Master, we can't wait any longer" Tang Youde was already in a state of chaos. How could he still remember when he said he would listen to Zhao Hao in everything?  Hearing this, he said anxiously: "In the next few days, new silk will be on the market. Then the price of silk will probably turn downward!"

    "Spring came too late this year, and there was very little rain." Zhao Hao slowly shook his head and said, "In previous years, spring silk came on the market in mid-May, but now it's a full month late, and new silk has not been released yet. What do you think?  If it doesn¡¯t work, what¡¯s the problem?¡±

    He has read relevant information and knows the changes in silk prices before and after the Longqing switch.  Another factor that pushed silk prices to a higher level was the large area of ??spring silkworms that did not spin cocoons in the first year of Longqing.

    "Ah, Young Master is saying" Tang Youde was startled, and then he remembered that when he was painting and gathering silk, the leaders of the society complained that this year's spring was too cold and there was too little rain, which caused the mulberry trees to sprout for a long time.  Therefore, it takes longer for spring silkworms to lay cocoons at night than in normal years. It is for this reason that they are eager to sell silk to survive the spring shortage.

    He finally calmed down and said: "It is possible that the spring silkworms did not lay cocoons this year?"

    "Yes, those who are shipping now are all laymen who take the opportunity to make a profit." Zhao Hao nodded slowly and said: "The experts who are really in this business will not only not sell a pound of silk at this time, but will continue to buy.  "

    "That's it" Tang Youde touched his receding hairline, suddenly slapped his forehead and said: "Yes, the people who looked at the warehouse reported that those who sell silk these days are all laymen! And those who buy silk are  Those big silk merchants and big machine shops are just as the young master said!"

    Tang Youde is very clever. In order to grasp the raw silk market in time, he arranged for his chief shopkeeper to keep an eye on the Xu family's warehouse in Bailuzhou.  Whenever someone comes to the warehouse for inspection and delivery, the shopkeeper secretly writes down the identities of the buyer and seller, the unit price and quantity of the transaction, for him and Zhao Hao to make decisions.

    "If you wait patiently for two more days, the news will not be suppressed." Zhao Hao nodded with a smile and came up with a bad idea: "If you really can't sit still, let someone let the news out and see what happens.  "

    "What a great idea!" Tang Youde's eyes lit up and he immediately ran home to find someone to let him know.

    ??~~

    Two days later, Tang Youde rushed to Zhao Hao's house excitedly. He gave a thumbs up with both hands and praised without hesitation: "Young master is really a god! As soon as the news of spring silkworms not spinning cocoons came out, the price of silk immediately rose to three liang per kilogram, and yesterday  All day long, not a single delivery took place in the Xu family warehouse!"

    "This is natural. Now everyone knows that spring silkworms will not spin cocoons, and the price of raw silk continues to rise," Zhao Hao stood up with a smile and said, "Who would take action at this time?"

    "Yes, only a fool takes action." Tang Youde joked.

    However, Zhao Hao twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, resisting the thought of kicking him and said: "I can."

    "Ah" Tang Youde scratched his head in embarrassment when he saw the flattery being slapped on the horse's hoof, and he laughed and said: "Young master is really unexpected"

    ¡°?When others are afraid, I am greedy; when others are greedy, I am just afraid.  "Zhao Hao smiled, didn't argue with him, and gave a decisive order: "The goods will be shipped tomorrow, and there won't be a pound of silk left!  "

    "Ah, the goods will be shipped tomorrow?" Tang Youde said with some distress: "Looking at this situation, the price of silk will still rise."

    "You can't make enough money. Floating surplus is not surplus. Only by falling into the bag can you be safe." Zhao Hao smiled faintly and said: "The price of silk is indeed still bullish, but the more it goes up, the more sales will slump. We have more than 40,000 kilograms  Si says it¡¯s not too much, it¡¯s not too much. This is the most appropriate time to do it.¡±

    "Yes, Young Master!" Tang Youde finally understood that even in business, Young Master Zhao was ten times better than him.

    ??~~

    Nowadays, various silk merchants gather in Bailuzhou, which brings great convenience to Zhao Hao and others in shipping.

    Tang Youde spent two days contacting various businesses. In the end, Shengji Silk Factory, one of the top three in Jinling, and Tiansheng Hewei Industry, the largest in Huzhou, jointly purchased all 41,000 kilograms at the price of three taels per kilogram.  raw silk.

    Today is delivery day.

    The matter was so important that Zhao Hao specially brought thirty strong men to help Tang Youde.

    He sat on the carriage and watched Tang Youde being surrounded by the big shopkeepers of the two companies as they entered the Bailuzhou Wanyuan No.  I couldn't help but secretly sigh, Bailuzhou integrates warehousing, transportation, and finance, and has begun to take shape as a future commodity trading center.

    ¡°Alas, this Bailuzhou is a secret investment in the hands of the Xu family.  If you leave it to yourself, you can develop it in just a few years and develop all kinds of futures and securities

    Of course, for now, we can only think about it and give up.  A trading center of this scale was not within the reach of an ordinary person like him.

    It is more practical to make more money.

    Zhao Hao lay on his back in the carriage and said to Xue Lang who was sitting beside him: "Why don't you give me the gold body instead of giving it to me in cash?"

    "Why is Donor Zhao so vulgar?" Xue Lang said with wide eyes: "If it were normal, no matter how much money you made, you would not be able to build a golden body in the Dabaoen Temple."

    "People say you pick up the bowl to eat and put down the chopsticks to scold your mother." Zhao Hao rolled his eyes and said, "You haven't gotten the money yet, here you go again"

    "It's fine if the poor monk doesn't say anything." Xuelang didn't want to argue today. He just hoped that Tang Youde would come back quickly so that he could settle down.

    The two waited there for most of the day, and Tang Youde finally returned to the carriage under the protection of a group of strong men.

    As soon as he got on the bus, he took out a thick stack of tickets from his arms and slapped them in front of the two of them!

    "Let's go and share the money!"
