Chapter 64 Harvest Riverside
Some local merchants in Jining complained that the Chamber of Commerce gave the foreign market too much share that day, but did not take care of the locals. The smart businessmen all think that this transaction is really perfect, and it is impossible to distinguish between true and false, but this link is filled with one link, creating momentum, influence, publicity, and expanding several links.
The other party has achieved this point, even if the jar contains stones, it can be sold for a high price. The effect of green salt in Jining City is still more mysterious than before. The miraculous doctor who has practiced medicine for many years came out and said that the quality of green salt depends entirely on storage for many years.
Some scholars have also verified that when the Han Dynasty, there were records of using green salt as medicine in Chang'an. There are also rumors that a certain wife and lady had a strange disease and she had recovered from the disease for a few days after using this green salt.
The so-called three people become tigers, and there are so many people who say that people have to believe it! After the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month, the so-called Shaanxi old green salt in Jining City was already twenty taels per can, and the merchants from Nanzhili rushed to Jining and searched at high prices. Nanjing and Suzhou are more prosperous and pay more attention to the quality of life.
It is said that Qingyan got there, and with the explanation, a smart businessman immediately understood the truth and began to automatically and consciously promote it.
Rich people pay attention to using green salt to show that they are different from other people who use fine salt to rinse their mouths. Because genuine green salt is in short supply because of the war, now there is a source of goods. It is approaching the Spring Festival. Everyone has a very high shopping enthusiasm. This salt also has a proof of salt and an explanation of its origin.
Although I didn't dare to judge whether the salt was true or not, it looked more real than the others, and there were so many rich materials for hype.
Jiangnan merchants were extremely smart in the world, so they naturally understood the truth. When they were fake, they also started to sell them.
With such a huge profit, many people naturally became tempted. The old porcelain jar was added with fine salt and then sealed with wax. The process and means were too simple and anyone could do it.
However, on the 21st day of the 1st of the 1st of the 1st month of the 1st month, a warehouse specializing in brothel business in Jiningcheng was blocked by several brothel managers, saying that their family sold fake green salt. Good, now you still have a fake green salt of twenty-two taels of silver. Wouldn't it be too moral to be fake?
How can I tell it was a fake? It turned out that the porcelain jar containing the so-called old green salt had a seal, which was obviously covered before firing the porcelain jar. The seal was extremely complicated and looked like a Taoist priest's ghost painting talisman. Although the shape and appearance of the fake shop's own porcelain jar were similar, the seal was obviously different. Such a pair of matches naturally had to admit it. As a result, everyone who watched the lively event learned a lesson and begged the brothel manager to copy the seal below.
In less than a day, the merchants who bought this old green salt used this seal to compare and verify the authenticity. Now they were hitting a snake and hitting it on seven inches. Even if they were firing porcelain jars to make old and fake, they would have to be done in the world. They could be done in a hurry, and the prices of those "real green salt" were up to the next level.
This old green salt is so popular that large-scale merchants are thinking about how to collect existing sources of goods. Although the profits of local sales are generous, the news brought by merchants from other places makes them feel that it is more calculated if they sell these green salt to Nanzhili, the capital before the Spring Festival.
If anyone with a heart is paying attention to one thing, he would be surprised. The quantity of the so-called porcelain jars of old green salt sold in Jining is far more than 4,000 cans. And they are all genuine products, no different from the ones unloaded on the boat that day, whether from the appearance or the seal at the bottom of the porcelain jar.
Those who buy these green salt are foreign merchants from the north and south. They know that the salt may not be true, but they know that those buyers hundreds of miles away do not know, so they also buy with confidence and boldness.
After the 25th day of the 12th lunar month, most of the warehouses closed down, and the trend of Lao Qingyan gradually subsided. However, many businessmen felt that they had learned a lot from here, and many people were ready to do something after the New Year.
He changed into the Qianmao's uniform, put on the merchant's robe, put on a cloak, and combed his hair and beard carefully. No one could tell that Li Meng was the Qianmao who was standing on the bow of the boat that day. He was surrounded by more than a dozen salt dicks in servant's uniforms, holding short weapons to guard behind him.
Anyone who looks at Li Meng now thinks that this is the hero who is wandering around, and no one would have thought that he was the initiator of the so-called Lao Qingyan incident.
The entire Lingshan Salt Field and the salt fields on Xuejia Island stopped the entry and exit of other salt goods, and began to produce fine salt without the labor cost. The fine salt was packed in old porcelain cans on Li Meng's farm, and then sealed with wax. Both Wang Kong's cargo ships were rented and shipped to Jining.
After a month of intense work, this so-called Shaanxi Laoqingyan trend was successfully driven. Li Meng, who was walking on the street, smiled and looked very proud.
Li Meng did have the capital to be proud. These techniques are just the annoying advertisements that come from the radio when riding a car in modern times, such as the magic water that cures all diseases and special tea leaves. When you hear this advertisement, you will only feel extremely impatient and ridiculous. It can be used in this era, but it has become an incomparable trick. After all, people in this era have never experienced such shameless and subtle influence.
"There are five thousand taels on the shopkeeper Meng's side, two thousand taels on the manager of Yuemeilou, and there are also many miscellaneous people who spend a total of three thousand five hundred taels."
A tent behind Li Meng reported there in a low voice that the sound of the tent was very low, but it could still be heard trembling. A year ago, he had contacted the most of the money he had to settle accounts, but the unit he was talking about today was only a few thousand taels of silver or ten thousand taels.
Although it is already dark and it is approaching that every outsider who can go home has already returned home, the cold Jining City is still much more lively at night than Jiaozhou City during the day. Li Meng likes this atmosphere very much. While looking at the pedestrians on the roadside, he asked in a low voice:
"Have they all checked out?"
"We've all been beaten, and we've gone more people, and these people are very sensible."
Li Meng nodded, the accountant behind him cleared his throat, and said in a more subtle voice:
"Sir, after deducting all expenses, we have a total of 95,000 taels of silver."
