Eighth year of Chongzhen

Chapter 887

After the tung oil merchants learned of the first batch of tung oil production, they had privately allocated the share of the [-] jin of goods. The strong tung oil merchants had more shares, and the less powerful ones had fewer shares. This is also the usual practice in shopping malls. According to the rules, everyone has no complaints.

If the 25 jins of tung oil are calculated at the market price of eight cents, the valuation is only more than 2 silver coins. In fact, it is not too valuable. Those that can bring more profits will come later. Don’t forget that this is just a village. Yield of tung tree.

Huayu Village belongs to the first batch of villages that raised seedlings and planted tung trees. Due to lack of experience in various aspects, the batch of tung trees in their village can only be regarded as experimental, and the yield is not high, which is normal.

Many businessmen have visited the site. Except for Huayu Village, the tung trees planted in other villages are getting better and better in terms of the appearance of the trees and the fullness of the fruits. This is also the result of accumulated experience.

That is to say, for the more than 320 mu of tung trees that have matured in Shuangliu County, the final average yield per mu will never be only [-] catties. It should be as much as four hundred to five hundred catties.

Among them, the oil tung trees planted in a village named Dongluo attracted the attention of the merchants the most. Several wealthy businessmen had negotiated several times in private, and finally reached an agreement to share the oil of Dongluo evenly. .

Because the two hundred acres of tung trees planted in Dongluo Village are different from other villages, they plant tung trees and produce tung oil.

This is the best quality tung oil. The market price has been high. In the past year, the price has risen to [-] yuan per catty, and it is extremely scarce in the market. According to this trend, it is estimated that the price of [-] yuan per catty will soon be available. arrive.

Because of the difficulty in growing seedlings and the high requirements on the environment and soil suitable for its growth, the planting area of ​​Alt. chrysalis is very small. At present, there are less than [-] mu in Enshi Prefecture, Hubei, and there are only a small amount of sporadic distribution in other places. It occurred to me that there are indeed two hundred acres in Shuangliu County, and the acreage is still expanding.

These two hundred acres of tung oil are where the huge profits are, and they are also the most concerned of several big merchants. As long as they get this batch of tung oil, they can resell the profit ten times or even higher.

Tung tung is difficult to grow, but the yield is not lower than that of ordinary tung trees. It is not uncommon for these two hundred acres to produce [-] catties of tung oil.

Eighty thousand catties of golden tung oil doesn't sound like much, but based on three cents per catty, that's a market value of more than 2 silver coins. If you store it in your hands for a few months, the value will be even higher at that time.

Mahogany furniture was popular in the Ming Dynasty. Furniture made of precious trees such as nanmu, rosewood, and red sandalwood had to be painted with tung oil. Those princes, nobles, and wealthy businessmen loved mahogany furniture. This was the main reason for the skyrocketing price of tung oil. force.

At that time, the county clerk first explained the bidding rules, and finally stated that the result of today's bidding is the sale price of this year's Shuangliu tung oil, and the tung oil produced in the future, except for the golden tung oil, will be executed at this price.

As the yamen clerk rang the gong, the bidding officially began. The base price offered by Shuangliu County was generous, one cent and two cents. Hearing the yamen clerk loudly quoted the reserve price, all the merchants were even more delighted.

These officials and lords are stupid in reading and studying. They tried their best to produce such a good product, but they only asked for the price of cabbage. In this way, there should be no problem with the highest price of [-] cents per catty. This time, they picked up a big ingot. It's hard not to get rich.

But what the merchants didn't know was that Sun Kedi had deliberately quoted the reserve price of [-]/[-], in order to let this group of greedy tung oil traders feel what it was like to fall from the clouds to the ground.

Of course, Sun Kedi is very clear about the rising price of tung oil. As early as when he took office, he predicted that this day would come, so he decisively made a decision to vigorously plant tung oil and other economic crops in Shuangliu County.

Originally, he was happy to see so many businessmen come to purchase tung oil, but what he didn't expect was that these bastards actually deceived him that he didn't know the way of economics, and wanted to drink blood from the people of Shuangliu, which made Ping Sun Kedi, who had a steady and elegant demeanor, was also very angry.

After getting in touch with the Chengdu Branch of Sihai Commercial Bank, Sun Kedi decided to play tricks on these vampires and let out his anger.

After the bidding started, the tung oil merchants who had negotiated for a long time quickly raised the price to [-] cents after several quotations, and then the quotation of [-] cent [-] was a little slower. When the last person quoted [-] cents, there will be no more People get up and bid.

According to the normal process, if no one continues to bid, unless the auction fails, then two points will be the final criterion for this bidding. The tung oil merchants are clamoring, intending to put pressure on the presiding scribe in this way, Tell him to knock the gong quickly to end the bidding.

The household clerk, who had already received the order, yelled loudly and looked around like a government official, and the tung oil merchants fell silent.

However, the situation on the field is already determined, so the expressions on the faces of the crowd are extremely comfortable.

Just when the tung oil merchants thought they were done and everyone was secretly rejoicing, a voice suddenly came from the back of the crowd: "Two to one!"

The tung oil merchants were furious when they heard the sound, and while they all turned their heads to look at the source of the sound, they were wondering which of their peers was so bold and dared to openly break the rules. This kind of person must make him bankrupt.

The voice was a young man wearing a gray robe with an ordinary face. Seeing that all eyes were on him, the young man was obviously stage frightened, and he lowered his head unconsciously.

The household clerk didn't care about this, he immediately raised his voice: "There are merchants who bid for [-]% of the underwriting! And there are no bidders?! I shouted three times, if no one bids, then [-]/[-] is the final price!"

When he yelled, the tung oil merchants turned their eyes full of anger away from this young and unfamiliar face, and looked at the big tung oil merchants sitting in the front row again.

The big guys have been waiting in Shuangliu for more than a month just to make a fortune, but they can't let outsiders snatch such good business away.

Although they did not expect this unexpected situation, these wealthy merchants are also people who have seen many scenes. As soon as the household clerk's voice fell, after several people looked at each other, one of them said slowly and loudly: "Two for two! Cash!"

Before the household clerk could repeat, "Two to three!"

The young man then quoted his price again, but this time the voice was much quieter than last time.

After repeatedly quoting the price of two-thirds, the clerk of the household room smiled and waved his hand and said: "Please come to the front row, this merchant, in case the voice is too low to delay the bidding!"

　Thanks to the Anshan boy for the reward in 1983, and thanks to Haohaoshuiqing for the ten monthly tickets. This is the monthly ticket with the most one-time votes received in this book.
