Chapter 210 Negotiations
Chapter 310
The market is always unpredictable. At this moment, the grain prices in Daxingcheng are like A-shares in their previous lives, and they are falling terrible.
The people in Guanzhong are extremely smart. Even at the current low food price, they only buy a little at a time, and only need to eat within a few days.
Everyone believes that His Highness Dai Wang has taken action and will never let the price of grain rise again, and there is no worry about not having food to buy. Maybe the food you buy will be cheaper in a few days.
This kind of psychology is spreading, and the people of Jingzhao County are all confident and no longer have the intention of buying before, let alone buying high-priced grain.
Except for the Lu family's business name, everyone came to buy food one after another, and the other grain stores were empty and there were no one left.
After this situation lasted for a few days, all the grain merchants could no longer hold on and gathered in the Qing family mansion again.
"Brother Qing! This is not OK! My Wu family grain store has not sold a drop of grain for seven days!" said the head of the Wu family angrily.
The Lu family business was crowded, but there was no one in front of his grain store. Such a powerful contrast made all grain merchants feel dissatisfied.
"That's right, the same is true for us when we wait for the grain store!"
As soon as the head of the Wu family spoke, almost all the grain merchants began to complain.
"If this continues, two months will pass soon. Once the new grain is taken down, we will lose all our money!" a thin landlord said.
They stored the food for a year and spent a lot of manpower and material resources, so they were ready to make a fortune by this time.
However, the current development is very different from what they expected. No one expected that the price had just risen by 30%, which caused such a strong rebound from His Royal Highness Dai Wang.
The head of the Qing family looked dull and looked at his panicked colleagues, and he couldn't help but feel a breath in his heart.
When we joined forces, we were fighting for profit one by one, but now we start to panic when we encounter something.
"What do you think of?" said the head of the Qing family unhappy.
"The Yongfeng Warehouse is important, and His Highness Dai Wang opens the Yongfeng Warehouse so casually. Why don't we report a joint letter and ask His Highness Dai Wang to think twice and seal the Yongfeng Warehouse for the time being. You cannot use the Yongfeng Warehouse until you have to." The thin landlord said whimsically.
"How is it possible? Don't forget, everyone, what is the excuse for us to refuse to sell food?" said the leader of the Wu family disdainfully.
The heads of the family members of the various families couldn't help but feel discouraged. The excuse they used was that all the grain shops had no food.
Since there is no food in the market in Jingzhao County, it is natural that His Highness Wang used the grain from Yongfeng Warehouse. Is it more important to have millions of people in the central region shortage of food?
"Everyone, why don't we agree to the conditions of His Highness Dai King! If the price increases by 20%, we can make a lot of money." The head of the Xu family had been silent before, and now he spoke quietly.
The families of all aristocratic families were shocked, and their first reaction was incredible. How could they bow their heads to the teenage prince? If they bowed their heads this time, wouldn’t they be held back by him every time in the future?
"Impossible, I won't accept this price!" The head of the Wu family stood up suddenly and said loudly.
The head of the Wu family looked around, but found that the heads of the family were bowing their heads and pondering.
Compared to losing money all the time, when I think about it now, the price of 20% of the price is actually not so unacceptable.
Many people also felt uncomfortable and were very dissatisfied with His Highness Dai. If His Highness Dai hadn't meddled with other people's business, how could they have fallen into such a difficult situation?
The head of the Qing family stood up slowly, looked at the heads of the family, and said, "Do you think the price of 20% increase is acceptable?"
Everyone looked at each other and nodded silently.
The situation is stronger than others now, and if you keep going, they will suffer.
"Since that's the case, then my Qing family will have contact with Master Gu on behalf of you." said the head of the Qing family.
The Wu family advocated blocking the words, but could not speak.
……………………
Bone House.
A carriage quietly stopped in front of the gate of the Gu Mansion.
"Censor Qing, my master is invited!" a butler said in a carriage.
Gu Yi is the top civil official in Daxing City, and Qingyun is just a fourth-rank censor. Of course, he will not come out to greet him.
"Thank you!" Censor Qing said politely.
"I dare not be a lie!" The housekeeper replied in a humble and arrogant manner.
The housekeeper led Qingyun to the living room of Gu Mansion, presented fragrant tea, and quietly left.
The bone instrument did not let Qingyun wait for a long time, and soon appeared in the living room.
"Lord Qing is here late at night, so he is really a rare guest!" Gu Yi said cheerfully.
"Mr. Gu is busy with official business and has a lot of trouble every day. The official came here today, which is really disturbing!" Qingyun said politely.
The host and guest sit down.
After a while of chatting, Qingyun began to get straight to the topic.
"Now the whole country is in war, only the central region is the backbone of the empire. Lord Gu has worked hard and made great contributions." Qingyun flattered.
"Where, where, Daxing City can have today's situation, it depends entirely on His Highness Dai Wang's control. We are just doing our duties." Gu Yi said lightly unmoved.
"Indeed, although His Highness Dai Wang is young, he loves the people as much as his son and has unparalleled benevolence and righteousness. It is actually a blessing for the people of Guanzhong." Qingyun said.
The bone instrument nodded.
"In recent days, the grain prices in Daxing City have been rising and falling, and many people complained that Qing family still has some food. If you want to contribute to the stability of the grain prices, you don't know what the Lord Gu wants to do!" Qingyun went straight to the topic.
"Oh! Didn't the Qing family only have 5,000 dan of food that day, and they had already sold all of them?" Gu Yi asked back with a slight look on his face.
Qingyun looked a little embarrassed and said, "Mr. Gu doesn't know that the Qing family still has food for disaster preparation according to the ancestral teachings. Now Daxing City lacks food. In order to stabilize the price of Guanzhong, our Qing family is willing to contribute to the food for disaster preparation."
"Oh, this is a good thing!" Gu Yi nodded.
"If Daxing City has enough food, will there be no need for Yongfeng Warehouse's grain?" Qingyun tentatively said carefully.
"That's not necessarily the case. It depends on the price of grain in Daxing City?" Gu Yi shook his head and said.
Qingyun hurriedly said, "My Qing family is willing to sell it at the same price as His Highness Dai King, 20% higher than the average price, and will never increase the price."
"Hehe." Gu Yi sneered.
"The Qing family made a good plan, which was 20% higher than the average price. That was the price set by His Highness Dai Wang. You must know that the current price of grain is not the same as before!"
"What does Master Gu mean?" Qingyun narrowed his eyes slightly. He knew that the old slippery guy, the Bone Instrument, would start the price.
"Now the people of Daxing City can only accept affordable food!" Gu Yi said a lightly, and it was like thunder in Qingyun's ears.
"This is impossible!" Qingyun's face was filled with shock.
To be affordable, it means to return to the food price level a month ago, wouldn’t that mean that they will lose all their money?
"There is nothing impossible. From tomorrow on, the price of the valley in Daxing City will be 70 cents per bull." Gu Yi sent another important news.
Gu Yi was extremely happy and finally got a revenge. On that day, he went to negotiate with these grain merchants in a good manner, but was played by the landlords.
Now that the feng shui turns, it is finally their turn to come and ask for it.
"Is this what Lord Gu means, or what Your Highness Dai King means!" A trace of light burst out in Qingyun's slightly narrowed eyes.
Gu Yi didn't care at all and said lightly: "This is what the people of Daxing City meant. It is also what I and His Highness Dai King."
There is no speculation, and the bone instrument has thrown the bottom line. The Qing family cannot accept it. This negotiation has collapsed.
"Sir Qing, go slowly!" Qingyun stood up and said goodbye, and Gu Yi saw him off.
"Sir Gu stay!" Qingyun smiled with all his might.
The BMW car was driving gently on the straight streets of Daxing City. Qingyun sat in the carriage and looked furious. The dispute over grain prices had been out of control. The court with Yongfeng Warehouse was full of confidence and did not look down on the charming eyes thrown by the aristocratic families.
"Master, are you going back to your house now?" Uncle Chuang whispered.
"No!" Qingyun shook his head.
"Uncle Chuang, please return to Qing Mansion immediately to report, Master, I still have something to do!"
"Yes, lord!" Uncle Chuang got out of the car and exchanged mounts with a horse-riding guard. He rode a horse and left.
The guard boarded the BMW car, raised his whip slightly, and drove in the other direction, where the high-ranking officials in Daxing City gathered.
In Qing Mansion, when the butler Chuang Uncle reported the negotiations between the censor Qingyun and Gu Yi, it immediately caused an uproar and an uproar.
"Impossible! We will never accept affordable food!" The head of the Xu family, who had been sitting firmly, was also full of anger.
They have paid too much for this business opportunity. Everyone in Daxing City makes money, and it is not easy for them to turn now, so why are there so many twists and turns?
However, they never thought that the reason why others made money was because they followed His Highness Dai King. However, they went against Yang You's strategy.
"Everyone, now we have reached the critical moment of life and death. If we surrender this time, we will never have a chance to turn around!" The head of the Qing family said loudly. He could not accept affordable food.
"I know that everyone has their own trump cards in the court. Now is the time when you are making efforts. Although the Yongfeng Warehouse has a lot of grain, it is not impossible to obtain. Moreover, many of the grain stored in the bone meter have established uses. The food that can be mobilized in the hands of the bone meter is not as much as we imagined!" said the head of the Wu family with full confidence.
The head of the Wu family is the most radical. He has always wanted to not compromise. The current situation just fulfills his wishes.
The Xu family leader stood up, and the other aristocratic heads couldn't help but look at him. Everyone knew that among all the aristocratic families, the Xu family was the strongest. If the Xu family leader had not fought, the overall situation of the grain merchant would not have fallen on the Qing family leader.
"My Xu family will join!" said the head of the Xu family lightly.
When the families heard this, they were shocked and knew that the head of the Xu family had become so angry.
