Changsun Chong and others were very excited after hearing this.
Du He smiled and said: "Master Changsun, are you really unwilling to sell the grain in your hands to me at the current price at the Huxian Grain Distribution Center?"
"It's absolutely impossible, Du He, don't worry, even if the Changsun family's food rots, it won't be sold to you." Changsun Chong said loudly.
"Yes, Mr. Hu Guo, you have gone too far!"
"You are trying to push us to a dead end!"
"Buying food is absolutely impossible!"
The grain merchants all said angrily.
If Du He hadn't been the Duke of Hu, they would have beaten him long ago.
Du He smiled lightly, looked at everyone, then turned around and asked Wang Lao Wu: "Lao Wu, did you hear everything?"
Wang Laowu nodded: "Godfather, I have written it all down."
"Okay, starting from today, every ten days, the price will drop by 10%."
"okay!"
After everyone heard this, they were so angry that they almost vomited blood.
According to Du He's meaning, it seems that he has calculated that everyone will sell the grain to him.
Changsun said angrily: "Du He, remember, even if we rot the food, we will not sell it to you."
"Hmph, let's go!"
Changsun Chong took the grain merchants and left quickly.
Wang Laowu came over and asked, "Godfather, will they really sell food to us?"
"meeting!"
Du He's tone was very determined.
Wang Laowu scratched his head: "Godfather, why are you so sure?"
Du He smiled and said: "Because, God will help those who gain the Tao!"
Wang Laowu was a little dumbfounded.
Isn’t it true that those who have attained the truth will be helped a lot?
How did he suddenly become a god?
He raised his head and stared at the sky for a long time, but saw nothing but tears stung by the bright light.
When he turned around, Du He had already left.
…
Changsun Chong and others walked to Anhu Avenue.
A grain merchant asked worriedly: "Master Changsun, what if we don't sell the grain to Du He? We can't sell so much grain even if we put it in our hands!"
Changsun Chong thought deeply: "Everyone, we can't mess up now. We must unite as one. Doesn't Du He want to buy our food at a low price? We must not let him succeed. Nowadays, the reason why no one buys food
, because the Huxian Grain Distribution Center has just transported a large amount of grain from Jiangnan. With so much grain, there will always be a time when it is sold out. By then, if we sell the grain again, even if we can't make money, at least we won't.
What do you think about the loss?"
"Yes," someone laughed, "Master Changsun is really far-sighted!"
"I should have thought of this plan a long time ago!"
"Just listen to Mr. Changsun, let's hold our troops for the time being."
"Yes, let's do it!"
Everyone suddenly had a solution and no longer panicked.
…
At this point, the Huxian Grain Distribution Center began to sell grains.
The food shortage in Chang'an was solved instantly.
However, the changes brought about by the Huxian Grain Distribution Center go far beyond that.
Careful people discovered that in Chang'an, in Lantian, in Xianyang... various places, many small grain shops suddenly appeared.
These grain shops are very small in scale. They often just rent a shop on the street. The warehouse is also a room with partitions. There is a carriage at the door. The shopkeeper and the clerk are both husband and wife, and they start selling grain. As for the selling price of grain, it is far from the same.
It is far lower than the previous market price and only slightly higher than that of the Huxian Grain Distribution Center.
Normally, no one should care about such a small grain store, but what is unexpected is that all the big grain merchants have closed down, and many people who buy grain are unwilling to go to the Huxian Grain Distribution Center to see these small grain stores.
Yes, the price is fair and the grain is of the highest quality, so even many wealthy families are willing to buy grain from these small grain shops.
For a time, small grain shops were blooming everywhere.
The small grain merchants all had a full business and made a lot of money.
If someone investigates carefully, they will find that these small grain merchants are all ordinary people who do not have much money left. As for the money they have, they are also the first people to buy grain from the Huxian Grain Distribution Center.
At first, when these people went crazy to buy food, they actually just wanted to take advantage of the cheap price to buy more food and hoard it.
But then there was a food shortage, so many people took out food and sold it. After going back and forth, they actually made a lot of money.
At this time, many people discovered for the first time, just as they discovered the New World, that food could not only survive, but also make money.
Of course, small grain merchants do not make as much profit from selling grain as large grain merchants.
But they were already satisfied.
It is much better than working hard before.
…
Chang'an City.
West Market.
A remote place.
A small grain store was opened here.
Normally no one would visit this kind of place.
But the business of Wuji Grain Store is very good, and there is an endless stream of people coming to buy grain.
The shopkeeper of Wu Ji Food Store is Old Man Wu.
Mr. Wu originally worked alone, but as his business got better and better, he recruited three guys to help him.
At this moment, he was sitting behind the counter, looking at the busy scene, very happy.
Next to him, a middle-aged man looked at him enviously: "Third cousin, I really envy you. When you insisted on opening a grain store, everyone in your family opposed it. I never thought that now you have made so much money.
!”
Old man Wu smiled honestly and said: "Gouzi, I'm not talking about you, haven't you seen the advertisement of the Huxian Grain Distribution Center? How bold people are, how easy it is to make money. Now, many people have made a fortune by buying and selling grains?
In Chang'an, there is no shortage of rich people. How could these rich people go to the Huxian Grain Distribution Center to buy grain? In the end, they came to the east and west cities. We just transported grain to these rich families and made a lot of money.
It’s just hard money, but even with this hard money, I’m willing to do it, it’s always more than what I earned working for others before!”
After hearing this, Gouzi said: "Third cousin, to tell you the truth, I also want to open a store, but I have no money!"
"You can get a loan!"
loan?
This is the first time Gouzi heard this word.
He asked doubtfully: "Third cousin, what does loan mean?"
"You don't even know this. Wudi Qianzhuang announced a few days ago that it can provide loans to people who want to open a food store. The rented shop will be used as security. The interest rate is very low. Even if the loan is not repaid by then, you can also use the rent of the shop.
Come to mortgage...didn't you see the advertisement?" Although old man Wu was old, he spoke clearly and logically.
Gouzi asked curiously: "Third cousin, have you seen the advertisement?"
"I don't know half of the Chinese characters, so how can I read advertisements? I just heard what others told me, Gouzi, and I will..."
Before Old Man Wu finished speaking, he saw the dog running out.
He asked loudly: "Gouzi, what are you going to do?"
Gouzi didn't even look back: "I'm going to get a loan..."
…
Similar things continue to happen in the streets and alleys of Chang'an.
At the same time, Wudi Bank, which had been silent for a long time, reappeared in people's mouths.
In the past, Wudi Bank's loans were only targeted at large households, but now, they are targeting ordinary people.
