782、Government acquisition
Jing Wen decided not to interfere with the struggle with these profiteers. After all, the government's direct action was too great. Therefore, Jing Wen planned to use commercial means to solve the problem so that the corresponding problems could be truly solved.
"Cui Ying, if I want to use my perfume workshop to make a mortgage, can I get enough money?" Jing Wen asked.
Cui Ying immediately asked: "Do you really want to use a perfume workshop to mortgage it? You should know that the perfume workshop is a hen that lays golden eggs, and the daily income is less than 1,000 guan. If you mortgage it, you can indeed get a lot more loans. But, what's the use of loans?"
And Jing Wen immediately said: "I want to use this money to purchase the surplus grain of the people of Mengjin County."
"Can't you let Mengjin County use commercial tax to make mortgage loans? Why do you actually use your own?" Cui Ying asked again.
"Hmph, the commercial tax in Mengjin County is still rising and cannot be stable. Therefore, it is not suitable for mortgage guarantee. So I still need to use my perfume workshop to borrow money, so I can get a lot of money." Jing Wen said.
Cui Ying said, "It's easy for you to get a loan! For example, you can use a daily diet and other industries to get a loan. Why do you have to use this perfume workshop? The perfume workshop makes a lot of money. Are you really sure you want to take it out?"
"Haha, Miss Cui Ying, you don't know that among all our industries, this perfume is the least valuable one." Jing Wen said.
"Oh? Why?" Cui Ying asked.
"Let Qing'er tell you!" Jing Wen said.
Liu Qing then explained the particularity of this perfume workshop. This perfume workshop can actually achieve such high profits only by monopoly. Because there is an important ingredient in perfume, that is, high-intensity distilled liquor. Without these high-intensity distilled liquor, it is impossible to produce perfume in the current method. The high-intensity distilled liquor is actually Jingwen's industry, which is produced in cooperation with Guanglu Temple. Guanglu Temple also sells it to the perfume workshop at a good price at an absolute cost, that is, the production cost of these distilled liquors is as high as possible. No cent is made for the perfume workshop. Therefore, the perfume workshop can obtain distilled liquor at almost zero cost every time.
However, if others want to open a perfume workshop, there is a big problem, that is, they cannot obtain distilled liquor as cheap as Jing Wen. They must buy distilled liquor at the market price. If they buy it at this price, the cost of the perfume produced in the end is higher than that of Jing Wen perfume. So how can they sell it! And they entered the market late first, and the price is so high, how can they join the perfume market? Jing Wen’s perfume workshop was not unpopular before, but they were unable to produce it, which is the cost issue.
It can be said that the perfume workshop can be like this now. It is all based on the fact that it is bound to distilled liquor. If you leave distilled liquor, you will not be able to continue to produce relatively cheap perfumes. Then, even if you mortgage the perfume workshop and you can't pay the money, the perfume workshop will be auctioned. However, there may be a large group of unknown insiders who buy this workshop at a high price. In the end, you find that you can't continue to buy distilled liquor at a cheap price, and eventually you will go bankrupt naturally. At that time, Jing Wen can buy it back at a very low price. This is actually a technology monopoly. There is also the perfume myth caused by official operations.
So if you leave Jingwen, this perfume workshop is worthless. So Jingwen uses this perfume workshop to make a loan, which can make a lot of money.
"It seems that you are indeed a profiteer. You have never seen someone as treacherous as you!" Cui Ying sighed again.
"Overall, the third in the world!" Jing Wen said modestly.
Soon, Jing Wen signed an agreement with Cui Ying, the chief shopkeeper of the bank, on the use of perfume workshops to mortgage loans. Although Jing Wen has now put the perfume workshop on his own women, those women are their concubines. Strictly speaking, they are all their own private belongings. Therefore, although these industries are attached to them, Jing Wen used them to mortgage them. It is reasonable and legal. In other words, this mortgage agreement is valid, so a large amount of money can be taken out soon.
Anyway, even if you can't pay it back then, you can't auction the perfume workshop. At that time, many fools would come and buy it at a high price. At that time, Jing Wen could take back the price at a low price when they broke the bank. Of course, it would be better not to do such things, after all, doing so will damage your reputation! If Jing Wen can raise enough money, he will still repay it, otherwise if his reputation is lost, it will be a little difficult to get it back.
Two days later, the Mengjin County government set up several sites for purchasing grain in the county.
"Now, our government has collected food! Anyone who has surplus food can come to us to sell it! Pay it and pay it in time, and the old man will be free!" a yamen runner shouted.
Now, the government has begun to purchase the people's surplus grain, that is, it purchases according to the original market price, and does not lower the price. Now the people just need a place to sell grain, so they come to sell grain one after another. As for whether they are worried that the government will deceive them, they are not afraid of this, because it is not paid and settled in real time? The government directly took out copper coins to trade. If there are large amounts of silver and gold coins, they are not worried about being deceived. The government has no such thing as plastering white slips, so what are you going to worry about?
"Everyone trades in an orderly manner, line up and take care of the elderly first! This time, we have enough coins and we absolutely guarantee that those who want to sell surplus grains this year can come to us for sale. There are many points in the county, and you can all go there to sell surplus grains." A yamen runner shouted.
Those people who want to sell food have also started to line up and sell it one by one. After all, the government method is still very at ease and can sell surplus grains, so that the people can have enough copper coins to trade, so that the people's livelihood can be stable.
