Chapter 966: get rich overnight
Chapter 966 Get rich overnight
In this world, there is nothing that cannot be solved by money.
Because there are many people in this land, and these simple people have a pair of hardworking hands.
Regarding this point, Fang Jifan has an accurate understanding.
Once the steel is made, the railway line will be laid, and the future income can be guaranteed. Since someone will take over the order in the future, why worry about the investment?
Zhu Houzhao got Fang Jifan's accurate words, as if he had taken a reassurance, he felt very comfortable.
"I heard that the trading market has gone crazy?" Zhu Houzhao said with a smile.
Fang Jifan calmly said: "These **** profiteers are really annoying."
...
The trading market has indeed gone crazy.
Now this trading market, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is overcrowded, it has become a place occupied by countless merchants.
In fact, this is also understandable.
The current form of trading has undergone drastic changes.
The old road no longer works.
It’s not just merchants from the capital, even merchants from nearby states and counties, or even merchants from afar, are now almost willing to stay here.
A special tea room has been set up here, where everyone gets together, gets to know each other, and exchanges various information with each other.
You must know that merchants are often the most sensitive people to information in this world. For them, any news may bring huge wealth.
Therefore, there is an endless stream of people who come here, thousands or even tens of thousands of people flow every day.
The goods displayed can be traded at any time.
The information exchanged may also be realized at any time.
Even a contract may have passed through the hands of several people within a few days.
The Xishan Bank opened here is also the busiest. There are countless silver bills, which can be saved at any time or cashed out immediately. The front hall is full of people.
This is a new door, and it turns out that this is the way to do business.
And the topic of these days is never without pig iron.
After the price of pig iron doubled in one day, it has been rising for the next few days.
People are going crazy.
Every merchant is trying to find a source of goods.
"Is there any pig iron?"
"Look, old man, I'm afraid it will continue to rise."
"It has risen again, it has risen, and it has risen by three copper coins per catty."
People here have witnessed one miracle after another.
Yesterday, maybe he was just an unknown businessman, but overnight, his assets doubled, and he became rich overnight, becoming the object of everyone's praise.
In the past, the business model was a transaction between acquaintances, even if they were acquaintances, they usually only exchanged letters.
But here, they receive countless messages every day, just like later generations. An uninformed person suddenly became proficient in the Internet. Ever since, the influx of knowledge began to explode. Economics, military, entertainment, almost all messages, short messages In just a few months, a person who did not know any military establishment or economic activities before can become an excellent keyboard economist, military strategist, well-informed person in the keyboard entertainment circle, and... a six-scholar.
Even a piece of news from the remote Fujian Chief Envoy may be brought here and spread widely.
And now... iron... iron.
In the market, the price of pig iron keeps rising. The pig iron that was originally scarce in the market keeps pouring out. It is said that many merchants have colluded with the **** who guards the iron mines in the locality. It is also rumored that a lot of pig iron is from the It came out of the bureau.
However, no one will ask the source of pig iron, it is not important, what is important is that pig iron can be exchanged for silver.
Many people's eyes are red, of course... There are other channels for pig iron, and merchants are all looking at the distant outside the pass.
In fact, merchants are unfamiliar with outside the customs.
But they know that there are a lot of iron mines outside the customs, and those iron mines are not run by the government...
that's enough.
The center of the entire trading market is a hall with a small round structure.
Here is called the trading center.
But anyone who wants to buy goods is willing to let people hang a sign here.
For example, now, this trading center is full of various signs.
"Take fine silk, two or four dollars a piece, seven hundred pieces."
"Receive wood, six hundred yuan a side..."
Of course, there are more signs, but they hang: "Pig iron, one hundred and fifty-two yuan per catty!"
The sign was just hung up, but soon, the sign was taken down again: "Pig iron, one hundred and sixty yuan per catty."
It seems... Even so, no one cares about it, and the sign continues to hang up: "Pig iron, one hundred and sixty-five yuan per catty!"
Like a revolving lantern, one brand after another was frantically hung up. Countless merchants stood under it, looking at the refurbished brands, their eyes were red, and they were almost crazy.
If I have pig iron, I am afraid that within a few days, I will be rich.
I heard that Xishan is now making steel, and many furnaces have begun to be built. In the future, pig iron... will only go up all the way.
…
And many big bosses, at this moment... have no interest in spending their thoughts on purchasing pig iron.
Because it is completely unnecessary.
Almost all the pig iron on the market has been searched.
Instead of trying to buy it, it's better to...
Action must be fast!
It is said that the Hexi Corridor is full of pig iron... I also heard that steelmaking is not only about pig iron, but also has a huge demand for coal. It is said that there are a large number of exposed coal mines in Xuanfu, and the government does not use coal as an official operation. Immediately send someone to Xuanfu to establish a good relationship with the local parents and officials, and to buy some coal mines.
The carriages for pulling goods have been prepared.
Countless civilians have been recruited.
There are also all the joints along the way, and it is necessary to send someone to open it immediately.
This road is certainly far away.
The cost of transportation is not low.
But until now, if this trend continues...it's hard to say.
Not only that, iron mines in various places, and many merchants are also well known.
You must know that although it is government-run pig iron, it can also be bought and sold, provided that production must be increased.
These merchants are best at drilling.
Which iron mine can increase production and get the goods, what is the name of the guarding eunuch, where is his family... where is he from...
The pig iron in the Hexi Corridor is said to be of high quality and the cheapest price...
After finding out the number of roads, countless horses and chariots started to set off.
When we set off, the car was loaded with countless food and daily necessities.
It is said that in Hexi, food prices are very high there, and the prices of many necessities of life are twice as high as those in Guan.
These things were sent to Hexi, and then returned with pig iron. According to the calculations of many people, it was profitable.
Of course, the most important thing is that the appearance of the four-wheeled carriage made all this possible.
In the past, the carriage carried less goods and was time-consuming and labor-intensive.
It can be different from a four-wheeled carriage, stable, fast, and has a large loading capacity at the same time.
Of course, the most important thing is that after the Tatars outside the pass were conquered, a large number of horses began to pour into the pass. These Mongolian horses, which are cheap, hard-working, and easy to feed, are really rare animal power.
It seems that this route seems to be far away, but in fact, most of the northern lands are plains, and there are hardly many hills. You only need to follow the official road and go west all the way. But a month or two.
This is different from the south, where there are many mountains and rivers, and the distance may even be a few miles, with a river and a mountain in the middle, and it will take a few days to delay this few miles.
On the official road, countless chariots and horses set off one after another before dawn. They carried guides, or they found letters of recommendation from some important figures. Teams of chariots and horses were mighty. , continuously.
The carriages of the Xishan Chariot and Horse Manufacturing Workshop are almost at full capacity now, and orders have been scheduled for the next year, but people's demand for cargo carriages has not stopped.
In order to increase the transportation capacity, the craftsmen racked their brains to improve the carriage...
The workshop for making chariots and horses seems to be preparing to expand its production.
As for the purchase of large quantities of pig iron, Wang Jinyuan is willing to spend a lot of money. If the price rises, it will rise. He still needs as much as he wants. His Royal Highness is urging him urgently. If His Royal Highness’s plan is delayed, he will really kill it. my own.
but…
Looking at the accounts carefully...
Wang Jinyuan was also a little confused.
its not right.
On the surface, it seems that they purchased pig iron on a large scale. After the purchase price of pig iron skyrocketed, they spent countless silver.
But after careful calculation, the sales of carriages have doubled. Due to the large demand for horses, Xishan's large number of horses outside the pass have also begun to exceed demand. And in the future, the various minerals in the Hexi Corridor seem to be...
Not to mention, in the future... the old city...
Thinking of this, Wang Jinyuan gasped, why, Xishan didn't suffer anyway.
...
The enthusiasm in the trading market has actually not attracted the attention of too many big figures. For the nobles in the temple, these indiscriminate transactions are nothing more than mere affairs.
But there was a person, dressed in casual clothes, who appeared in this trading market. He secretly visited the details of every transaction. Then, when he got home, he started to read the article in The Wealth of Nations again, and compared what he saw during the day.
Under the oil lamp, Wang Bushi's shoulders trembled slightly.
is right!
All of this... was right.
Although I don't know what the pig iron will turn into in the end, the result... must be as I expected.
His face flushed with excitement, and even his body trembled...
The Wealth of Nations... What an amazing book.
Squinting his eyes, Wang Bushi seemed to be looking at a place, but in fact he was lost in thought.
At this time, he already had a premonition that countless wealth was waving to him.
The sky has changed...
The morals of the world have also changed...
Those idiots in the Hanlin Academy who are still holding scriptures.
It seems that I haven't understood it yet.
Arrogance... It's really a taboo!
