Chapter 1699: Real and Fake Bandits 2
The businessmen have had a "good start" twice in a row, and they are even more popular one after another.
I originally planned to use it to keep the mountain materials in the first three days, but it only took two days to sell it out.
Moreover, the transaction volume on the second day was far from comparable to the first day. People directly subscribed, and there was no need for on-site calcification, so that the laborers could not earn any rewards.
The reason is that the surface reason is that the calcification is too slow, and it takes half an hour to chisel a hole.
The real reason is quite complicated.
On the one hand, some wealthy people knew that the organizer behind Guanpu was the fourth prince, so they used a lot of money to curry favor with him. They could get a link with the prince and wouldn’t they gain more wealth in the future?
Besides, what if I flatter myself into one of the father-in-laws of the Fourth Prince? The fourth prince is so capable that he can get so many cars of jade in a year. What if... I might have the chance to be one of the father-in-laws of the Prince?
On the other hand, some wealthy people saw that although the calcification on site was too slow and they could not detach a few stones a day, but after a few bad stones, a piece of meat would always appear full of meat, which means that these wool materials are very good.
Even if you buy one out of five yuan, you will definitely make a profit and never lose money.
There is another reason: buying and selling.
Using jade to pass the business has inspired the business people to think that this business can be done! This time I came as a purchase, otherwise they would not have the opportunity to interfere in the Vos jade business.
If you look back and add other rocks to the goods you are entering, there will always be fish taking the bait.
Zhuang Yun, who was "fighting for the great fortune", also came the next day. Many people followed him, waiting for him to grab the stone he saw.
This man is so lucky, it is very necessary to follow him and benefit from it.
But Zhuang Yun only walked around the venue, drank a cup of tea and went out, disappointing the person who followed him waiting to get a bargain.
After Zhuang Yun came out of the warehouse, she went to find her carriage, but found a groom who was parking next to her looking familiar.
Many of the merchants who come here to Guanpu jade are like Qin Erye, but they do not have a clear identity and are usually the "second boss" of certain family businesses.
For example, Zheng Chunqiu is an official and cannot go to business, but he can transfer the name of the shop to his servants.
Like Manager Chen, he was originally a manager trained by Zheng Chunqiu, but he could also become the second boss of "Chen Zhuangtou" or a "Qihuofang" in Kyoto.
There was no sign on the carriage brought by these people, and it was impossible to tell which one it came from.
So after seeing the familiar coachman, Zhuang Yun thought for a while before coming forward to talk, "Have you finished eating bean flour and bean cakes? Do you want to give me some more?"
The coachman was a little confused: "You are..."
Zhuang Yun calmly said to the coachman: "Come on, help me turn the carriage, and the wheels slip!"
The coachman was smart and went over to help immediately, while Zhuang Yun's coachman "cooperated" to get the carriage stuck and couldn't move, and someone had to help.
When the carriage was finally transferred from the snow to outside the Zhuangzi, Zhuang Yun whispered to the coachman: "Go and tell your master, just take a look, don't waste money, I'll give your master a few good goods.
That's it."
The coachman immediately saluted and confirmed the other party's identity: "Are you and my country's prince..."
Zhuang Yun smiled: "My marquis is Duke Hong's old friend!"
As soon as the identity was confirmed, the coachman even brought a more familiarity in his respectful tone, and expressed his familiarity for his master: "Is it good to be a Marquis of Linyang? Recently, it has been rumored in Beijing that Linyang Marquis was killed. I wonder if it is true or false? My master is worried.
tight!"
Zhuang Yun showed a hint of worry: "It was a danger, but no one was found yet... I have made the Duke worry about it!"
...
Yes, the composition of the people who come to participate in the Jade Pass is so complicated. Although most of them are rich merchants who really want to do jade business, there are also people from Linyang Hou, several princes, and even...
The detective staff.
The second day after the mountain material was sold out, the fourth prince was hesitating: should I give the money to my father now to prove my ability, or should I wait until the river material is closed and reported together.
Hu Hengqiu had already reported to the emperor in the imperial study room: "The scene is very lively. Those merchants are really rich. Buying stones is like buying onions, as if they don't have money."
The emperor was very angry that the fourth prince was good at making suggestions. He had not yet decided whether to put jade into the market, when and how to invest it. Before he could even make a feasibility report, the fourth prince actually started to shut down!
The royal family competes for profits? The royal family sells fake products? What a bad impact does this have on the royal family!
Hu Hengqiu tried to make the words more tactful: "Perhaps someone can guess that it was the jade brought back by the Fourth Prince this time, but it shouldn't be sure."
This statement that there is no silver here will not be a comforting effect on the emperor, but money can.
Hu Hengqiuhui reported: "All the mountain materials on display have been sold, and the silver prices have been sold for more than 2 million taels. Today, I bought the river materials, which are expected to be even more than those obtained from the mountain materials."
Among the thirty carts of stones, nearly twenty carts were mountain materials, and almost ninety of them were mountain stones used by the fourth prince to make up the numbers.
He actually sold the rocks for more than two million taels of silver! These merchants are indeed rich!
According to the Fourth Prince, mountain jade is extremely difficult to mine, and it is difficult to chisel the holes of gunpowder that fill in. Sometimes, you can only drill holes in slightly loose places around the jade veins.
The gunpowder configured by the Ministry of Works is very prone to moisture and blockage, and sometimes it is not effective, so there are all kinds of stones that are fried, including jade and mountain rocks.
Moreover, in order to transport the stones, it is necessary to control them to about 100 kilograms, and humans can carry them and walk on the mountain roads, so there are not too many stones, usually more than 20 kilograms.
The real jade wool material obtained is only three cars.
Hu Hengqiu continued to report: "According to the information found by the people below, the real good materials were not sold, but were purchased by them at an extremely low price, and they were calcified on the spot..., which was very well made
It was a sensation.”
That is to say, even a real person was not sold? The emperor was almost angry. If it weren't for the number "more than two million taels", he would probably have gone wild.
Hu Hengqiu: "I started buying river materials today. The river materials are basically small pieces, but it is said that the price is higher. It is said that the river materials are more compact and tighter than mountain materials, and even the stone skin can be used."
Mountain materials are native jade ore with thin weathered layers or no weathered skin; while river materials are constantly washed and transported by river water.
Therefore, the overall fineness, density and oiliness of the river material are better than that of the mountain material.
This is caused by the different formation environments of jade, and the same is true for Daxuan jade.
The same conversation also happened in the bedrooms of several princes, especially the second prince who received the earliest and most comprehensive information.
The night before yesterday, after the first day of Guanpu, he received a letter from Mr. Qin Er. The letter was very thick and the content was very detailed. He could also inquire about the information reported by Mr. Qin Er.
So at the beginning of Shanliguanpu yesterday, Mr. Qin deliberately picked a few smaller and cheaper stones to buy, and did not require calcification.
When someone asked, Mr. Qin seemed to say something: "This kind of quit is interesting, the shop at home...", which attracted many businessmen to follow, and the transaction volume surged to the point where the next day it was sold out.
"Pick up big ones to buy peaches" is a common mindset for people. There are also Zhuang Yun's operation of calculating stones that have been used several times, so many people are willing to pick big stones.
Because it can be solved several times to increase hope; and, the bigger the stone, the greater the possibility of jade meat inside, isn’t it?
