Poor family mother and son

Chapter 433 The order is up to me

This is not the only thing that made Gao Zhifu feel bad. No, it should be said that the bad things have just begun.

After five days of expansion, another warehouse was erected in the lumber yard, which was very large, much larger than the original warehouse.

Grain merchants are watching the progress of the expansion every day. Early this morning, the gate of the lumber yard was completely blocked—several grain merchants blocked their grain trucks here.

The person in charge here, the shopkeeper of Baijia, didn't he say it before, after the expansion, he will continue to collect grain.

Therefore, in line with the principle of "the early bird gets the worm", several grain merchants directly delivered the goods, hoping to sell the grain as soon as possible.

Otherwise, the cost of renting a warehouse at the wharf of Yibin Mansion, the cost of hauling goods outside the city, and the cost of one's own accommodation would all be included in the cost, which would be too high.

There was a lot of voices, because they were dissatisfied that they blocked the road——

"You haven't signed any paperwork with them, why should you accept your goods first?"

"Exactly! What's the use of blocking all the goods here? We came here early in the morning to line up! You hurry to the back!"

"My goods are all here! Even if you can sign the paperwork, what about the goods? Don't you still have to go back to fetch them? Then it's just right for them to accept my goods directly?"

"You have a good idea! Do you know the line? We came half a day earlier than you, and we lined up without eating. Why do you want to get in front of us?"

Maozheng, people saw Bai Jiaxing walking out of the temporary reception room with two "entourages".

"Open the door." Bai Jiaxing said.

A "follower" obeyed the order to open the door, and the "follower" was Wang Fuqianhu who put on makeup.

This was arranged by Chu Qing, she wanted this business operation to be carried out under the supervision of the secret investigation department, as a witness to deal with possible troubles in the future.

The door was open, but he couldn't get out.

But it doesn't matter, Bai Jiaxing said loudly: "God bless you, there has been no rain these days, and the warehouse will be ready for use after it is built, and we will start harvesting grain now!"

The voices became more noisy, some shouted "My goods have been delivered to the door!", some shouted: "Go to the back, don't jump in the queue!", and then started arguing again.

Bai Jiaxing waited for them to quarrel for a long time with a good temper, until they didn't dare to quarrel, and then spoke again: "Thank you for transporting the food all the way, let's see the quality first and then discuss the price!"

"What do you mean?" Someone yelled, "Why do you still think it's good?"

"That's what you asked!" The foreman of the lumber yard, who has been helping Baijiaxing for a while, sneered at this time: "You only spend money and don't look at the goods when you buy things?!"

In fact, it's not that that person doesn't know that business depends on the quality of the goods, but that there are too many grain merchants gathered here, and he is worried that his products are not competitive.

If the goods are scarce, they have no choice, and they will pay whatever price you offer; but now they have too much choice, and it is hard to say whether their own goods can still have the capital to compete!

When it comes to looking at the quality, everyone is a little uneasy.

This year is not yet the season of harvesting grain, and now every family is full of old grain, and the quality of the first year and the second year of the year is much worse, not to mention that these people are taking out the grain that has been accumulated for a long time and is not easy to store. sell it.

What if people say, just accept last year’s and not the year before?Unlucky?

It's not impossible, it's possible!

Look in front of you, how many grain merchants are here!Even people from the six southern mansions came here.

The few local grain merchants sent by Kochifu who were standing in the front row wanted to sell the batch of "soaked grain" to "Bao Qingsheng" at a high price under the name of "the fat and water will not flow into outsiders' fields". This time I was also dumbfounded.

"Everyone, don't worry," Bai Jiaxing's voice is strong and powerful, giving people a sense of reliability, "We have a large demand. If last year's food is not enough, we will also receive the previous year's food;
Of course, we give priority to long-distance bulk transactions. After all, long-distance transportation is not easy, and a large amount of grain can be shipped, which shows the trust in me, "Bao Qingsheng", and we naturally give priority treatment! "

Baijiaxing expresses the meaning of "I spend money, I have the final say" euphemistically and naturally. The implication is that it doesn't matter whether you line up or not, the order is determined by me.

The intervention of "Bao Qingsheng" forcibly reversed the supply and demand relationship in the grain market in Yibin Prefecture, turning the original seller's market into a buyer's market.

And Bai Jiaxing's reference conditions for the transaction order - quality, quantity, sincerity (long-distance bulk transactions), like a sieve, instantly made the few small grain merchants standing in front unconsciously take a few steps back.

The small grain merchants who come here to trade grain usually take the old grain that they can no longer store anymore, firstly to deal with the backlog of inventory, and secondly to test the authenticity of the high-priced purchase.

If it can be sold this time, then the good food stored by the family can be exchanged for a higher purchase price.

To put it bluntly, it is the mentality of "I can exchange 500 or so renminbi for a bucket of grain that is about to rot, but the good grain is not worth more than [-] renminbi?"

Rice that has been stored for about three years is not inedible, but the taste is bad and the nutrition is not good; there are also rice that is not stored properly, it will go moldy, and it is really inedible.

But for large grain merchants, their grain is basically within two years, because large grain merchants have a lot of funds, storage space and management are in place, sales channels are wide, and goods are circulated quickly, so it is not too long. Accumulated grain.

Just like a modern supermarket, the smaller the supermarket, the lower the purchase frequency and the more the backlog of goods.

While the small grain merchants in the front row were retreating, several large grain merchants from the six prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River stood forward with very proud expressions.

With thousands of entanglements around her waist, anyone's waist will be hard!
The situation at hand is in their favour.

This "priority treatment" made them even more delighted.

There was a lot of rain last year, and floods occurred in the six prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River from time to time, so the grain harvest was not good, so they confiscated much grain.

But they have a lot of stock, and they wanted to take advantage of the disaster to make a fortune. Unexpectedly, the good weather and weather in the past few years have filled the granaries everywhere.

For the severely affected areas, the "Changping Warehouse" used by the imperial court to mediate grain prices has played a sufficient role, providing a reliable guarantee for relief to the victims.

If they can't sell at a good price, it is better not to sell, so their grain is backlogged.

I didn't expect that many areas were severely drought this year, and food was in short supply; the south of the Yangtze River was not serious, after all, there were many rivers and lakes, but there was a shortage of food in other places, which brought them a good opportunity.

Right now, "Bao Qingsheng" is buying aggressively. Isn't this opportunity to make money coming?

"Bao Qingsheng" is well-known in the Jiangnan area, because the Meng family in Jiangnan has fallen under the hands of their boss several times, and even lost a branch of the family.

Not only that, last year many cloth merchants were also forced to sell at low prices, neither cotton nor silk had achieved the desired profit.

But it is the nature of a businessman to seek profit, and whether to pursue it or not depends on technology, which has nothing to do with grievances.

"Bao Qingsheng" is a good target that can be traded. Their economic strength is very strong. If this transaction can be concluded, it can also pave a bridge for future interest exchanges.

In the interest of the present, there is no grievance.

"Who will come first?" Bai Jiaxing asked.

Baijiaxing still handed over the "initiative" to them, but the merchants who lined up were not enthusiastic.

They want to see the quality and quantity of other people's goods first, so as to estimate the possibility of selling their own goods.

In addition, if you act too hastily, your goods will be rejected all at once, and as a businessman, your credibility will be reduced a lot, especially small grain merchants, worrying that it will be more difficult to do business in the future.
