Chapter 313 Soaring Prices
The number of people in Hanzhou and Han Shu has increased. The consumption of materials has increased.
The importance of De'an Port was immediately reflected. No matter how rare the goods were, there was nothing that could be bought in De'an that could not be bought in De'an. No matter how large the transaction was, any one could afford money could be received. Many of the major trading firms that control the sales of Daxia commodity were focused on De'an. Some commercial banks with low qualifications and pursuit of high profits were even more greedy for De'an's zero-tariff policy and migrated one after another.
In contrast, the reactions of Jingcheng and Huangjin were as slow as those of the old lady who broke her feet. Not only did she move slowly but turned slowly, but her observation ability was also declining. The ministers of Daxia discussed how to curb Cheng Jinzhou every day, but few people put their ideas on the revitalization port and reject De'an.
Perhaps in their opinion, such a job is thankless, although they can't come up with other ideas.
Taking this opportunity, Shiyan and three businesses bought various cotton, linen, bamboo and wood. Xingcougar seemed to be quite interested in natural products rich in cellulose. The price was satisfactory. It was also very important to be able to supply and trade in batches. If it were half a year ago, Dr. Cheng’s purchase method might have been discovered. But now, De'an has made more than one-sixth of the Daxia transfer with a small Danshui wharf. His daily business transactions have reached a level that ordinary people cannot distinguish with their naked eyes.
One ship comes, one ship goes; one car comes, one car goes; one mountain rises, one mountain. These are the usual scenes that can be seen every day. Cheng Jinzhou is mixed in and makes a fake transaction. Except for Shi Mo and Shi Yan know something, no one knows that countless supplies have been sent to the Star Alliance.
Those grain merchants, cotton merchants, hemp merchants, bamboo merchants, sugar merchants, and timber merchants only felt that De'an's business was easy to do, and they all poured in, and they didn't care what they bought and did. Not to mention normal trading behavior, even during the war, good merchants had to do business.
The sales of at least 10,000 stars a day are not too much for silver, and it is easy to maintain by filling low-priced grain.
After about two weeks, the supplies on the market suddenly began to gradually decrease.
Shiyan began to feel normal, but soon. The reaction of the merchants made him strange. While he was still purchasing, the supply of some materials was reduced without reason. As the prices of materials such as wood rose, they would also be out of stock. Goods such as grain that should have been easy to maintain value began to fall wildly. Those who had these strange problems were the materials listed on the list by Cheng Jinzhou. Relatively speaking, the prices of other materials either remained unchanged or rose slightly.
He was not considered a person who had been in business for more than a year. After a brief observation, Shi Yan quickly sorted out the prices of various materials and reported to Cheng Jinzhou.
Cheng Jinzhou, who had just won the title of Three Star Warlock, was full of confidence and full of confidence. Therefore, he decided to have a good time to have a good leisure and live a noble life.
He placed a lounge chair at the highest end of the Astrology Tower, and there were various snacks, juices and low-alcohol wine on the small table next to it. On the other end of the small table were shy Qingshuang beauties.
Green mountains and clear waters, thousands of sails and harbors, and beautiful girls can cultivate their sentiments better than this.
In a peaceful atmosphere, Cheng Jinzhou still advised: "Like me, wear less clothes, apply olive oil, and it is very comfortable to bask in the sun. De'an said that it is not far from the sea, so sunbathing is so good."
Olive oil comes from the extreme west and is a luxury for astrology warlocks.
"It's not like you." Although Liu Qingshuang said this, she exposed her calves and forearms and lying on the chair to record the kernel.
Cheng Jinzhou happily chewed nuts and jerky, drank juices of different tastes, and chatted with Liu Qingshuang in a nonsense. The nuts of the century are valuable, but the nuts in Daxia are as much as they want, and they are purely natural and pollution-free. Pine nuts, walnuts, and wool hold nuts, after the research of dozens of chefs, it is easy to achieve a satisfactory taste. There are more types of jerky and juices, and carefully prepared and prepared by professional chefs, which are far more delicious than the product.
Liu Qingshuang also enjoyed the conversation with Cheng Jinzhou, so she didn't have to think too much about things and got to know each other.
She doesn't understand what modern love is, but she will feel the same way.
Both of them like this afternoon leisure. When Shimo at the door knocked on the door, Cheng Jinzhou was particularly upset and shouted: Don’t bother me for small matters."
Shi Mo grinned at Shi Yan and said in a low voice: "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't dare."
After saying that, Shimo sang again: "San brother, Shiyan talks about business."
Cheng Jinzhou is now considered to have a self-employed family. But according to the rules of the noble family, he is still a brother.
"Come in." Liu Qingshuang put down her trousers and sleeves and said softly.
Cheng Jinzhou was depressed and sucked the juice. The straw was made of soft bamboo. Choose bamboo that grew to its age. After hollowing it in the middle, soak it in odorless herbs. Knead it repeatedly until the fiber is soft so that it can be bent at will. Compared with plastic straws, bamboo straws are more comfortable to contact with the lips. Of course, it is best not to consider the price. The price of feeding more than a dozen craftsmen is not something that ordinary people can afford, and the production cost is the same.
Shi Yan carefully pushed the door open, laughing like a flower, and apologized: "San Ge'er, it's really abnormal to trade at the port, so he came to report it."
"Sit down and talk." Liu Qingshuang said, leaving Tianbi with a slight silhouette.
Cheng Jinzhou watched the girl leave and sighed, "If there was only one problem, there would be no need to say it."
His transaction with Star Covenant can be called dumping, and there must be something wrong with it.
"The whole market is abnormal." Shi Yan looked left and right, sat on the stool on the ground, took out the documents he carried with him and said, "San brother, I usually buy the things in the order you handed me to the right ones, and sometimes I will deliberately hang them for a few days, but recently, many of my products have become more expensive."
"Isn't it all going up for a year?" Cheng Jinzhou didn't care. The things he bought would not enter the market for circulation. The final result was definitely a price increase situation where there was a need to exceed the demand. The linen once doubled, but now it is also rising from before the year.
"I haven't bought some things, and they have also increased. For example, bamboo and medicinal materials have not been purchased in two or three months."
"Isn't the supplier maliciously raising prices?"
Shi Yan said with a bitter face: "In the past half month, many suppliers have not come to De'an. Except for Qinyu Trading Company, several other stores have negotiated with me about the price, saying that they will send things after the price is negotiated. I have not agreed yet, but they dare not do it if they are just to raise the price."
Cheng Jinzhou immediately turned cold and said, "What's the reason?"
"I'm looking for someone to ask, but the various businesses are covering it."
"You can't." Cheng Jinzhou said decisively: "You go and find my father now. Forget it, come out and say goodbye, uncle Xiao, let him come forward to convene people from various businesses to talk.
Considering the temperament of Lord Cheng Yunan, Cheng Jinzhou felt that Cheng Yunxiang might be more suitable for coming forward. Moreover, his identity as Jin Feng in Jinzhou is equivalent to being the vice governor of Jinzhou Province. With the identity of the Cheng family, no business company dares to give face. As for Shiyan, the business companies at most regard him as a wealthy family and will not reveal commercial secrets casually.
In fact, if it weren't for the importance of commodity trading to Cheng Jinzhou, he wouldn't have easily gotten involved.
He wrote a brief letter of two lines, and Shi Yan took the order and left. Cheng Jinzhou lay back on his chair, but he no longer had the leisure he had before.
He knew in his heart that even if the production level of Daxia is low and the level of commodity exchange is low, if materials such as grain are easily bought and sold by tens of thousands of tons, it will not cause a nationwide price increase unless someone deliberately does this.
Expand to dozens of commodities. If it weren't for inflation, war and disasters, it would be even more impossible for the price to soar in one go.
"Someone raises prices? Or is it worse?" Cheng Jinzhou made a rhythmic gurgling sound with a small bitch.
During dinner, five level 4 star sorcerers had a meal with Cheng Jinzhou, Lu Xu and Liu Qingshuang, and happily shared the real rice. With the existence of Li Xianfeng, several high-level star sorcerers quickly recognized the value of real rice.
In the Star Alliance, although there are foods that can increase physical fitness, the price is not allowed to be eaten by ordinary star warlocks every day, and the effect is even better than that of real.
Taiyu held the bowl with emotion and said, "When I was an apprentice of astrology warlock, I ate high-end rice with my teacher once. I remember that I wrote an article that time, and it had 6 points of influence. Now when I recall it, it seems like a different life."
"A hundred years have passed, five generations." Jiang Huang felt very much. If it weren't for Cheng Jinzhou's cotton fruit, he had accumulated enough original contribution points, and in another thirty or fifty years, his life would have come to an end.
The age of the fourth-level star warlock is common, and she is over the age of the year, and she is in love with each other and talks about the past. Li Xianfeng quietly snatches the rice, but still doesn't eat any food. Taking advantage of the chatting time of several star warlocks, she has perfectly eaten three big bowls.
Two maids stood in front of the rice cooker and concentrated on scooping rice, which means they would be able to keep up with her and Lu Xu's degree.
Among the few people, Hui Minren cared about aristocratic etiquette the most, chewed slowly, and paid attention to the expressions of others.
Seeing that Cheng Jinzhou was still blissful, he joked at one of his rare words: "Mr. Cheng is worried that we have finished all your real rice?"
When he was telling jokes, his face was straight, as if he was asking seriously.
"Where?" Cheng Jinzhou sighed and said, "I bought the goods a little unsuccessfully, which may affect the progress of the research."
The only thing he has been studying at the moment is chemical purification, which is enough for casual concealment.
“Can’t buy it, or the price is too high?”
"The price has been rising rapidly recently. I didn't buy it, so it's strange." Cheng Jinzhou put the chopsticks on the bowl and patted his head.
Li Xianfeng continued to eat hard and took the time to say quickly: "If you didn't buy it, it doesn't mean others didn't buy it."
"But what I want to buy, the price will rise without waiting for the move. If I want to sell, the price will fall without waiting for the move." Cheng Jinzhou's first feeling when he looked at the data was this.
Hui Minren said casually: "Maybe someone is doing the same experiment as you? I also had it once back then."
Cheng Jinzhou's face changed drastically. Before he could even eat, he turned around and left the table, leaving a circle of people looking at each other.
Bird Singing: I originally hoped to express the structure in the book, but I will explain it.
Real rice. This bird is not considered a problem. Everyone seems to be worried that the popularization of real rice will cause the protagonist to lose its advantage. Popularity is inevitable, but the protagonist's advantage will not be weakened. For Cheng Jinzhou, the question is when it will be popularized, just like undergraduates are worried that migrant workers will grab their jobs, so doctoral students don't have to care. The professor will hope that there are many excellent graduate students under his command, not elementary school students. Since invasion is caused, the world will not be completely dusty. From the perspective of the Star Covenant, this is even more so. In addition, there will be more advanced food. The current real rice has no effect on Lu Xu and Kant, like the perversions above the four-star point.
2. What is the use of mathematics and physics? In fact, mathematics and physics only need to have a basic role and explain its own value. As for higher applications, in this book, we continue to argue that the star sorcerers discriminate against the application of mathematics. The advantages are the disadvantages of modern society. Literature and poets waste decades of youth and thousands of hours. What is the use of writing a good word? Most literati do not yet sell words. Poetry, songs, high music and fewer songs. In this world, preciousness is the most important thing. They are tired like dogs. They work for hours every day, and no matter how much money they have, they create value for society. They work for two hours a month and do whatever they want. That is to enjoy life. Star sorcerers study mathematics and physics and live
A leisurely life, respected and envied by countless people, is naturally better than a dirty politician? Although this does not mean that they are pure people in their hearts, it at least means that they are not living by eating garbage. Finally, it is to be explained that many scientific research itself is meaningless. If it is necessary to say that it is meaningful, it is also for the future. Hawking studied black holes, except for writing a brief history of time to make money. The more basic research is, the more so. Just like Plutarch's evaluation of Archimedes quoted earlier in this book, the astrology should also be: to pursue the wonderful knowledge that is not mixed with worldly needs.
3. Newcomers to Star Covenant. What should come will always come, losers who have laid the groundwork for a long time.
4. The relationship between astral warlock and the government. Many people think that if astral warlock is so powerful, you must master the government, or there will always be astral warlock that will master the government. Such things will be born in the extreme west, but it does not mean that they will also be born in the Great Xia. There are many small countries in Europe, and they are not destined to be swallowed by great powers. Moreover, whether astral warlock needs and is willing to master the government is another thing. As mentioned earlier, the astral warlocks pursue a long life, respected and sufficient supplies. If the government of ordinary people is in power, the astral warlocks can get it. Why do you have to go barefoot and do thankless things? This is just like the existence of Chinese state-owned enterprises. If the proportion is small, it does not mean that the country will suffer losses, but the astral warlocks will eat it.
Of course, occasionally astrology warlocks are interested in interfering with the government, just as state-owned enterprises occasionally eat fat private enterprises.
