You Know Nothing About Pain

To be honest, the middle-aged woman doesn't think much of Naruto who looks like the second generation ancestor in her heart, thinking that the young master of some family stole the family's passbook after reading a few broken books or quarreling with the family members , ran outside to make a career.

Generally speaking, [-]% of this kind of people will be cheated to death, and then they will be redeemed by the family members who came here.

But the middle-aged woman doesn't mind, she just opens the door to do business, so she doesn't worry if no one comes, and besides, it's better to let herself earn the money than to let others earn it.

Hearing the other party's temptation, Naruto didn't speak immediately, but tapped his forehead with his fingers, pretending to be in deep thought.

The middle-aged woman on the opposite side was not in a hurry when she saw Naruto like this, she looked at Naruto with a smile while drinking tea, as if I'm waiting for you to think it over before talking.

After about five minutes, Naruto finally spoke.

"I'm here this time because I want to negotiate a deal with you." Naruto looked at the middle-aged woman opposite and said, "It's a big deal."

"Big deal?"

The middle-aged woman said with an interested look on her face, "Do you want to sell something, or buy something?"

"Yes, but again no."

Naruto smiled slightly, with a mysterious expression on his face, and said:

"I have a brand new trading method here, I don't know if your business will be interested..."

------------------------------------------------

Around noon, Naruto returned to Jingichiro's house. At this time, Tiani's family also sent someone to deliver the agreed five million taels.

Five million taels would be a huge pile even if you used [-] taels of bills, and it was piled up in the living room of Jingichiro's house at the moment, and Kyuubi and Haruko were playing with origami airplanes with the bills.

After Naruto entered the house, he pushed aside a banknote plane that was about to fly into his hair, looked at the helpless Granny Hemei and said, "Grandma Hemi, do you know how many households there are in the villages belonging to the Tian family near here? People?"

"How many families?"

Hearing Naruto's question, he and the beautiful mother-in-law froze for a moment, then said hesitantly: "I only know that there are five nearby villages belonging to the Tian family. If they are all the same as ours, then there are about eight or nine hundred households. "

"Eight or nine hundred households..." Naruto pondered for a moment and said, "That should be almost the same...."

Then Naruto packed the five million taels on the ground, turned around and was ready to go out again.

At this time, Kyuubi was holding Haruko to play a game of raising heights, seeing Naruto going out again, he asked curiously, "Why are you going again?"

"It's nothing." Hearing Nine-Tails' voice, Naruto turned his head and smiled and said, "I'll go weigh it up and see how good these noble landlords in the Bird Country are."

-------------------------------------

At Tiani's house, Ryunosuke Tiani was still feeding the fish in front of the pond at this time, but it was completely different from the relaxed look before. His face was gloomy, and he kept throwing fish food into the pond.

Many goldfish had already choked to death, turning their bellies up in the pond, but Ryunosuke Tianjing didn't stop.

The servants serving on the side even lowered their heads, and they didn't dare to take a breath, lest they would touch the bad luck of Ryunosuke Tianjing and be thrown out to feed the dogs.

The reason why Ryunosuke Tianjing was so angry was of course because of the five million taels he just sent out.

That's a total of five million taels. Although it wasn't a serious injury to the Tianjing family, it was still a serious injury.

And for Tai Ryunosuke, who has always claimed to be smart, this time he suffered the biggest loss since he was in charge of the Tai family, so of course he will be bitter about it.

As for the cause of this incident, although Ryunosuke Tai was reluctant to beat the daughter of Jingichiro's family as his child bride-in-law's son, he had been ordered to ground him, and he was not allowed to step out of his small courtyard for a year. .

Originally, when Ryunosuke Tiani gave such an order, his wife would definitely quarrel with him, but this time Ryunosuke Tiani's wife also knew that the matter was serious, so she didn't dare to make trouble, otherwise her brother would not stand by her here.

Ryunosuke Tianjing's heart is bleeding when he thinks of the five million taels, but he also knows that if it's gone, it's gone. According to the strength and background of the other party, looking for trouble by himself is undoubtedly looking for death.

Now I can only feed the five million taels to the dogs.

The more Ryunosuke Tai thought about it, the more irritable he became, he poured the whole basin of fish food on the side into the pond, and then sat down to drink tea to calm down.

At this moment, the housekeeper of Tian Jing's family suddenly ran over in a hurry.

"Master." The butler approached Ryunosuke Tiani and whispered, "People from the Tokugawa Chamber of Commerce came to you and said they have business to discuss."

"Business?"

Ryunosuke Tianjing took a sip of his tea and said impatiently, "Are you here to buy grain again? Tell them not to sell it. In the current market situation, whoever sells it is a fool."

This year, the Country of Birds experienced a natural disaster at the beginning of spring, which not only lost a lot of people, but also missed the time for spring plowing, so a reduction in food production is inevitable.

The reduction in food production means that the food that was originally enough is not enough, and the price of food will increase. This is a very simple and straightforward logic.

Now that it’s winter, for ordinary people in the country of birds, even those who have stored food at home, they can eat almost enough now. The food supply in the whole country is insufficient, and the price of food has also started to rise.

Of course, the lack of food is only for ordinary people in the country of birds. For landlord families or nobles like the Tian family, if they can sell the food stored at home, it is estimated that people in the country of birds can eat For several years, food prices can be stabilized in an instant.

It's just that landlord families like Tian Jing's family are of course unwilling to sell their grain at this time. They hope that the price of grain will be higher, so that the grain in their hands will be more valuable.

In fact, many businessmen have also discovered the business opportunities, and have thought of ways to buy grain, but the grain in the country of birds is in the hands of these big landlords, and there is nothing they can do if they don't want to sell them.

Dispatching food from other places will not work either.

In terms of current transportation technology, if people completely rely on horses to transport grain from other countries, the loss of people eating and chewing horses along the way will be more than half, which is not worth it at all.

Therefore, after many unsuccessful attempts to buy, the merchants in the country of birds gradually lost their minds.

Now that he heard that people from the Tokugawa Chamber of Commerce were coming, Ryunosuke Tai's first reaction was to buy grain.

However, the butler's answer was beyond Tai Ryunosuke's expectation.

"Master, the people from the Tokugawa Chamber of Commerce said that they didn't come to buy food." The housekeeper said quickly, "They said they came to sell food."

"Selling grain? They still have grain to sell?" Tian Jing Ryunosuke looked at the butler strangely and said, "And selling grain at this time, isn't it stupid?"

Although the current grain price has risen a lot, it is far from reaching the peak. All the major families are waiting and watching, holding on to the grain in their hands so that they can sell it when the grain price is the highest. Earn a lot of money from him.

If one percent of the people in a country cannot afford food, then for these landlords, the price of food will definitely not stop when it rises by one percent, but will continue to rise until some people cannot afford food and starve to death.

"I'm wondering too. I'm thinking about who sells the food in the current market." The butler also said with a puzzled expression on his face, "But the people from the Tokugawa Chamber of Commerce did say so..."

Hearing the housekeeper's words, Ryunosuke Tiani showed an interested look on his face and said, "In that case, let's meet." Not long after, the agent of the Tokugawa Chamber of Commerce, the middle-aged man Naruto had met before, Under the leadership of the butler, the woman came to Ryunosuke Tianjing.

"I heard you want to sell grain?" Tai Ryunosuke said straight to the point: "How much grain do you have? Calculated according to the market price, I want it all."

"Patriarch Tiani really knows how to do business." The middle-aged woman looked at Ryunosuke Tiani teasingly and said, "Everyone knows that the current market price is just a joke. If you want to buy grain at this price, it may be a dream. Only then."

Hearing what the middle-aged woman said, Ryunosuke Tai looked at the butler at the side with a questioning look, as if to say that you just said that she was here to sell food?

At this time, the butler's legs were weak, and he was crying and didn't know what to say.

"Patriarch Tiani, don't be angry." Seeing Ryunosuke Tiani's appearance, the middle-aged woman smiled slightly and said, "I am indeed here to sell grain this time, but the method and price may be a little different."

"The method is different from the price?" Ryunosuke Tianjing thought for a while, then looked at the middle-aged woman warily and said, "Tell me first, how much food do you have there?"

How much food the other party has is what Ryunosuke Tai is most concerned about. Now the large quantities of food in the Bird Country are basically controlled by their few big landlords.

These landlords have already negotiated with each other and agreed on a price. Before the price of grain exceeds this limit, no one is allowed to sell the grain in their hands without authorization.

There are very delicate calculations in this. Several big landlords have calculated a basic calculation based on the grain in their hands, the forecast of this year's production, the number of people who need to buy grain in the country of birds, and the amount of grain in circulation outside. numbers close to the limit.

This is a number that their great family gathered countless experienced accountants and food traders, plus the population data obtained from bribes from the government.

Below this price, several families can sell the grain in their hands at the highest price.

Now that he heard that the Tokugawa Chamber of Commerce actually had food for sale, Ryunosuke Tai suddenly became vigilant, because if there is a large amount of food outside, then the figures they calculated before will not count, and if they sell at that price It is very likely to suffer a big loss.

Here Ryunosuke Tianjing's big loss means that he did not earn as much as expected. After all, in the eyes of people like them, if he earns less, he loses.

"How much food..." The middle-aged woman smiled, then spread her hands and said, "No."

Hearing that the other party said that he had no food in hand, Ryunosuke Tai breathed a sigh of relief, and then said with a dissatisfied expression, "Are you here to make me happy?"

"Patriarch Tianjing, please don't worry." The middle-aged woman said with a smile: "Who says you can't do food business without food?"

"How do you do food business without food?" The middle-aged woman completely stunned Ryunosuke Tai, looked at him like a fool and said, "Do you know what you are talking about?"

"Don't worry." The middle-aged woman took a sip of tea, and then said slowly, "Let me explain first."

Then the middle-aged woman explained to Ryunosuke Tianjing how to do this business.

In fact, the meaning is that the Tokugawa Chamber of Commerce acts as a middleman and issues something similar to a bill. The amount of grain written on the bill represents how much grain. When buying and selling the amount of the bill, the buyer does not need to actually have so much grain. , as long as you have money.

Then everyone can use this bill to do business. You can buy grain here, or sell grain here. As long as someone from the other side is willing to accept your bill, then the transaction will be considered successful.

"The grain price of each transaction will be calculated according to the real-time grain price of the day."

The middle-aged woman said with a smile:

"Actually, it's almost the same as you are hoarding grain now. For example, if you think the price of grain will increase in the future, then you can buy grain from us, as long as someone sells it.

After a few days, when the price of grain increases, you can sell the grain in your hand to earn the difference.

It's just that our method is more convenient, and we don't need food, as long as we have money. "

Listening to the middle-aged woman's words, Ryunosuke Tai thought for a while, and then asked a question: "I don't know what the meaning of this method is, isn't it just buying low and selling high? Who of you can't, why do you want to pass you?" To do something like this?"

"Of course it's different." The middle-aged woman looked at Ryunosuke Tiani and said with a chilling smile, "Because with me, you can still make money by lowering prices."

"For example, if you think that grain will fall in the future, you can credit some grain from me now and sell it at a high price.

When the price of grain falls in the future, you can use the money from selling grain to buy it back at a low price and repay the grain on credit. "

The middle-aged woman said in an admiring tone: "And the price difference is naturally earned by you."

Listening to the middle-aged woman's words, Ryunosuke Tai was a little sluggish. It was the first time he had heard of such a thing, and it was simply unheard of that he could actually make money from falling prices.

However, judging from the logic of the other party's words, there seems to be nothing wrong with it. This can indeed make money, as long as this rule is strictly enforced.

"Hmm..." Ryunosuke Tai nodded irresistibly, then looked at the middle-aged woman with scrutiny and said, "Then why should I believe that all this is true?"

"Our Tokugawa Chamber of Commerce acts as an intermediary for all transactions. We will review the identity and assets of each customer and sign an agreement with us.

If the customer's assets are not enough to compensate for his shortfall, we will not allow him to trade. If the customer loses everything, we will force a sale and confiscate his property to pay off the debt.

Although the food behind this transaction does not really exist, these bills are all bought with real money.

In the end, if there is an accident when joining, our Tokugawa Chamber of Commerce will also compensate for all losses, and will never let customers suffer losses for no reason. "

The middle-aged woman said slowly:

"Of course, our Tokugawa Chamber of Commerce can't do it for nothing. As an intermediary, we will draw a certain percentage of commission from each transaction, not much, only [-]%. I hope you can understand."

"Hehe, your Tokugawa Chamber of Commerce does a good job." Ryunosuke Tai sneered and said, "When others buy and sell, your Tokugawa Chamber of Commerce can take [-]% of the money without doing anything. The commission is easy to calculate."

"We are businessmen, we don't do things that don't make money."

The middle-aged woman spread her hands innocently and said, "Besides, if we don't have the reputation of our Tokugawa Chamber of Commerce as a signboard, you won't be able to trade with confidence, right?"

What the middle-aged woman said was true. As a super-large chamber of commerce spread across the entire continent, the Tokugawa Chamber of Commerce naturally attached great importance to its own reputation and signboard, and would never do anything to smash its own signboard for a little profit.
