Great Wei Overlord

Chapter 109 Stealing Concepts
Chapter 113

The guests sitting in the VIP seats at the front desk were very strange. The lifelike sound of wild geese echoed in their ears. What was going on?

The guests were all stunned. What they saw and heard before were all dignified singing and dancing. When had they seen such melodious singing?

The sound of wild geese, the sound of bowing strings, and the sound of mourning are actually the unique skills performed by a few artists who are proficient in ventriloquist.

Following the last sentence of "Qiu Yan Ci", "Through the ages and ages, for the sake of the poets, sing and drink wildly, and visit Yanqiu." Liu Xue, dressed as a princess, is like a lonely goose, languishing on the stage.

"It turns out that the play can be performed like this, and the song can also be sung like this!"

There were nearly a thousand spectators in the audience, and Xianggu was silent, only two lines of tears.Even in the era when men did not cry lightly, countless people shed tears for it.

Suddenly, a man with a slightly Yingchuan accent broke the silence and said: "What a good one to ask what love is in the world, and teach life and death to agree with each other. Beautiful songs, dances, and poems make people more beautiful. Liu Jingzhi from Yingchuan presented a thousand flowers to Mrs. Liu." Duo!"

"Wonderful, wonderful, really wonderful! Don't talk about a hundred gold, even a thousand gold, ten thousand gold, this kind of performance is worth it!" A man with the same appearance as a scholar said loudly: "One thousand five hundred flowers for Mrs. Liu !"

At this moment, Chen Shirong, who was full of confidence, was ashamed. Just for this song, Yu Chang, who was ahead of Liu Xue with thousands of flowers, fell behind by more than 4000 flowers!
In the end, with an absolute advantage of 790 flowers, Liu Xue got her wish and became the champion of the Oiran Contest.But Yu Chang only got [-] flowers, nearly [-] less than Liu Xue.

Because of the success of the Oiran Contest, Ran Ming made nearly 30 gold at once.20 yuan went to Ran Ming's pocket, and [-] gold was sent to Ran Min's treasury.At the same time, Ran Ming called for the first Chamber of Commerce meeting of the Great Wei Chamber of Commerce!

As one of the five directors of the Great Wei Chamber of Commerce, Guo Song's face is full of red. The current headquarters of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce is his other courtyard in Nancheng, covering an area of ​​about ten acres, simple yet luxurious.

The theme of the whole building complex is Wei and Jin style garden architecture.At this time, Ran Ming sent a team of fifty Chu Palace guards to guard the door.

When Ran Ming entered the conference hall, a large group of people had already gathered inside.

Liu Yuan is the leader, followed by Zhang Xun, Wang Cheng, Guo Song, Chen Ying and others, and there are more unknown merchants below.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Ran Ming didn't bother to talk. For Ran Ming, time is money!He said straight to the point: "We, the Great Wei Business League, held the first plenary meeting, and there are two things today! I believe that everyone also made a lot of money during the Oiran Competition. The lonely king has a purpose in doing business, to go to Chen Yingxin , with innovation as the goal. Just like the Oiran Contest, it is actually different from our usual business philosophy, and achieved the greatest success with a brand-new business philosophy!"

Ran Ming saw everyone's pensive expressions, smiled and said: "This time, I have a big business to cooperate with you all. The court of Wei State is going to purchase grain worth 30 gold!"

"30 gold!" Not to mention the small merchants present, even Liu Yuan, Zhang Xun and other business giants were quite surprised!
Ran Ming said: "Gu also cares about you, but our chamber of commerce has more than 500 members, so it is difficult for Gu to cover everything, so in order to be fair, Gu intends to use the method of bidding?"

"What is a bidding competition?" Zhang Xun said in a very puzzled manner.

Ran Ming explained: "The so-called competitive bidding is to adopt a price reduction system. For example, Zhang Xun is going to do business with the court of Wei State. Your rice grains will be transported to Yecheng at [-] yuan per stone, while Wang Cheng will I paid [-] yuan, so Guhui chose to cooperate with Wang Cheng!"

Zhang Xun said: "That is to shop around. Under the condition of the same quality, the lower price wins, right?"

"Not bad!" Ran Ming laughed.

Wang Chengdao: "But the grain of 20 gold, all of us present can't eat all of it?"

Liu Yuan also nodded. If he hadn't married his daughter to Ran Ming, he might have gathered all his financial resources to make such a big business. But now that he married his daughter, his family property has been reduced by more than one-third. He is also powerless about this big cake.

Ran Ming smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, Gu is not done at one time. We can divide the grain purchase of 30 gold into more than a hundred shares, ranging from tens of thousands to thousands of gold, and bid separately! But in the bidding Competition from high prices to low prices can be adopted, and each bid can be regarded as [-] yuan! Of course, a large price reduction can also be adopted to scare away opponents. This is a competitive bidding strategy! If you call out the price, no one will Compete, shout three times, and the bid will be in hand, and the cash will be paid. This time, you don't have to worry about the safety along the way, but for all the caravans of our Chinese Chamber of Commerce, the lonely king will send troops to escort them along the way, absolutely guaranteeing safety!"

"The first bidding document is 600 shi of corn. According to the current market price, it is [-] qian per shi, [-] shi is [-] million yuan, and [-] gold is converted into gold!"

Wang Cheng is in the silk business, but he is also a piece of land, with an area of ​​[-] square meters. There is still grain in his home plus this year's new grain, more than [-] shi. Seeing that he has made a relationship with Ran Ming, Wang Cheng feels that he is She should form a good relationship with Ran Ming.He held up a placard and said, "Five thousand three hundred gold!"

After all, it takes a process to accept new things, and no one dares to bid.As a result, Wang Cheng won the first bid.Get the first bid at a price lower than 2% of the market price.The price of wheat is [-] shi, [-] shi, [-] gold! "

Song Yi himself is a grain merchant, and he knows that the price of grain in Guanzhong is actually not too high, it is about the same as that of corn, a little higher. If there are too many escorts, it will cost a lot of money to hire a bodyguard.If the government's exploitation and the escort fees along the way are removed, even with [-] gold, he can still earn a lot.

Song Yi held up a placard and said: "Twenty thousand gold"

Similarly, what Song Yi can think of, others can think of, this time the shooting is much more intense.

"Nineteen thousand and eight hundred gold!"

"Nineteen thousand six hundred gold!"

"Eighteen thousand gold!" Song Yi calculated carefully, and he could earn [-]% of the eighteen thousand gold!
Suddenly someone in the field raised a placard and said: "Sixteen thousand gold!"

Song Yi gritted his teeth, and glared at the merchant who was competing with him. The merchant's name was Ding Xuan. They were both from Wei County, and they were also doing business in Guanzhong.Ding Xuan was born as a horse bandit. He was a number one figure in the world and had a cavalry team under his command. The bandits around him didn't dare to think of him at all.Shipping fees are consistently lower than theirs.

In fact, Ding Xuan is different from Song Yi. He has a batch of old grain in Linzhang, and he is eager to sell it. Moreover, this batch of grain was when he took advantage of the battle between Ran Min and Liu Xian. Lieutenant Liu Xian sold grain secretly stored in Linzhang County to Ding Xuan. He heard that he was a horse bandit.This is also the reason why Ran Min didn't get Liu Xian's food after defeating Liu Xian in history.

But now, Ding Xuan feels that this batch of grain is a bit tricky, he can't eat that much, and he dare not sell it to others.Ran Min ordered Wei Guo's food to be prohibited from being sold outside, and after he was caught, he would be beheaded regardless of 21.Deal with the crime of collaborating with the enemy.

Ding Xuan felt that this batch of food was a bit hot.Now it just so happens that it can be sold to Ran Ming in a fair manner!Gain both fame and righteousness!

Song Yi didn't dare to bid anymore!
However, he is not stupid, he knows that Ding Xuan definitely wants to sell to Ran Ming.Song Yi held up the placard for the last time and said, "Fifteen thousand gold!"

Who ever thought that Ding Xuan didn't care at all.Directly shouted "[-]!"

The price of [-] gold, at this price, they can't even collect the grain!Let alone sell it.

When Ran Ming saw Song Yi and Ding Xuan competing for price, he was so excited that he was very happy.In fact, Ran Ming was quite satisfied.From the market price of 2 gold, it has dropped to 4 gold. With a discount of [-] gold, he can still buy more than [-] stones of corn. Although corn is a coarse grain, in this era, people even eat tree bark and grass roots. It is whole grains.

However, what surprised Ran Ming the most happened.Ding Xuan actually said: "Your Highness Chu, Xuan is a villain first and then a gentleman. Ding's food is all old food. The quality is not very good, and some of it is moldy. If His Highness does not dislike it, fifty-seven thousand shi of wheat, With [-] shi of corn and [-] shi of fodder, Xuan only needs [-] gold!"

Ran Ming made a rough calculation, but even so, Ding Xuan's price is still lower than one-third of the market price.

Ding Xuan's performance like a nouveau riche surprised everyone in the surrounding businessmen.

Later, Ran Ming divided the grain into three to five thousand shi, so that merchants with large and small financial resources could accept it. In the end, Ran Ming used 20 gold to buy 11 shi of wheat, 69 shi of corn, 30 shi of rice, and There are 20 stone fodder!Calculated based on the daily consumption of 120 shi for an army of [-] people.Even if Wei Guo feeds [-] troops at this time, the food is enough for more than two years!
Ding Xuan was Ran Ming who completed the transaction that day.

Ran Ming took the order from the merchant and immediately went to the palace to meet Ran Min.

In the imperial study room, Ran Min looked at the report in Ran Ming's hand and asked, "Is this food real?"

Ran Ming nodded and said: "I dare not lie to my father, these grains are far or near, how much, I have calculated, even if the farthest is transported from Jiangdong, it will take at most three months The grain and grass in the latest Ding Xuan transaction is the closest to Yecheng! He promised that as long as guards are arranged along the way, the grain and grass can be transported to Yecheng within three days at best!"

Youdao means you have food in your hands and don’t panic in your heart, but Ran Min is afraid of food shortages.Without hesitation, he said: "I will pass the decree to Zhang Wen to send out [-] cavalry from Tunqiying and Yueqiying to transport the grain to Yecheng!"

Ran Min looked at Ran Ming's hesitant look on his face and asked, "Anything else?"

Ran Ming said: "Father, my son promised those merchants to ensure the safety of their goods along the way, so they sold the grain to our country Wei at a price lower than the market price. People can't keep their promises, so my son must Take charge of their caravan escort!"

Ran Min thought for a while and said, "We have so many soldiers in my father's hands, even if we recruit them now, there will be too little time!"

Ran Ming said: "My son also has one thing to pay attention to, that is, let the chamber of commerce fund the establishment of a guard, and they will provide food and fodder!"

"That's it...but!" Ran Min pondered: "With the financial resources of the Chamber of Commerce, they can be able to support more than [-] troops, and [-] troops are enough to dominate one side! This is not appropriate!"

Military power is the lifeblood of every emperor, and Ran Min does not want to hand over these military powers to merchants.

Ran Ming explained: "Father, the merchant guards only deal with robbers and bandits, and their combat effectiveness is relatively weak. They don't need to be well-trained or well-equipped. It's fine for them to deal with ordinary small and medium-sized bandits. You can sign an agreement with merchants, and in case of war, these guards must unconditionally obey the orders of the court."

Ran Min's heart moved when he heard the words, and he couldn't help thinking deeply.
