Chapter 48 Gift
Author: big bell
Looking at the piles of ten yi coins in his hand, he estimated that they could be exchanged for at least ten yi coins of gold.
In other words, the profit doubled in one fell swoop.
Gao Qiu was so happy that he counted Qin Banliang all day long, but Gao Fugui fell into deep thought.
He bought jade at a high price and suffered a huge loss. But for paper, he seized the opportunity and bought a large amount when others thought it was worthless. When everyone discovered the value of paper, the market was sold out, and he sold it at the right time.
, steady profit, what is this phenomenon?
He began to think about his investment approach.
Finally, the Dongjiao Paper Shop opened. He went there immediately, but found that it was already packed with people, all rushing for paper. Within a quarter of an hour, all the limited-purchase paper was sold out.
Before others could squeeze in, they found that the paper was gone.
"Dear guest, you are here."
Xiao He found Gao Fugui and greeted him warmly.
Gao Fugui also said hello, glanced over, and found that the shelf was divided into two sides. One side was empty, presumably where paper was placed, but the other side contained some things made of paper, with words written on it: Politics
Lectures, Economic Theory, Selected Poems of Xuan Mo.
He just casually glanced at this thing made of paper but with many words hidden inside it. It was very strange, but he was not surprised. After a while, his eyes fell on the large words on the surface.
Economic theory?
He was attracted by the three words on it, so he picked it up and read it, flipping it over and suddenly staring at some of the contents inside, feeling thoughtful.
When supply exceeds demand, when the supply of goods in the market is greater than demand, prices will fall; when supply exceeds demand, when the supply of goods in the market is less than demand, prices will rise. This is the law of economics.
As he looked at it, Gao Fugui became excited. This classic is so wonderful!
Thinking of the ups and downs in jade prices he had experienced, it seemed like this. When there was a shortage of jade in the market, the price really soared. In the end, no one cared about the jade, and the price plummeted.
Isn’t this just supply exceeding demand?
There is also paper. The paper shop in Dongjiao is not open. Even if he doubles the price, there will still be many people vying to buy it. Isn’t this a case of supply exceeding demand? As long as the supply exceeds demand, the price can be raised, and there is no need to worry about no one not selling.
Wonderful!
Gao Fugui could not restrain his excitement and burst into laughter.
"That's it, that's it!"
He seemed to have figured something out and said eagerly, "I want to buy these things and wrap them all up."
Although I couldn't buy paper, I thought of a way.
Just now I glanced at the front part of Economic Theory, and there was a sentence in it: New goods will replace old goods.
Aren't these rare things just new products?
He found that he could apply what he had learned immediately.
Xiao He was not surprised that this distinguished guest's behavior was somewhat unexpected.
Soon, Gao Fugui bought all the economic treatises on the shelves, and even selected some political treatises and Xuan Mo poetry anthologies.
As for Li Si, he keeps an eye on Chang'an Township more frequently. Before, he only kept an eye on this place, but now he's keeping an eye on everyone in it.
No, Xiao He stopped leaving after he came in, which made him very strange. However, these days, Xiao He went out frequently, leaving early and returning late. So, he followed him and found that Xiao He was actually doing business.
.
Incredible!
It was such an unethical thing for a student to do business, so he secretly wrote it down.
Meng Yi was thinking about the improved version of the air gun. Seeing that Li Zhao had not moved for a few days, he went to look for him. When he saw Li Zhao, he seemed very enthusiastic.
"Li Shaonei, has this air rifle been improved?"
Seeing Meng Yi's eager look, Li Zhao smiled knowingly and took out the sand gun he had already made.
"This is a sand gun, much more practical than an air gun."
Meng Yi was very excited. He took it and held it in his hand, as if he was afraid it would fly away.
The next moment, he couldn't wait to try it.
But no matter how he loaded the gun, it didn't have the same effect as last time.
"this"
Li Zhao saw his embarrassment and said: "This is due to improvements. It is no longer the original air gun. I call it a sand gun."
"Sand gun, how to use it?"
"Don't worry, let me show you two things first." Li Zhao took out a can of gunpowder specially packed in a bronze container and a bag of broken iron.
The broken iron can be square or round, but very thin.
"What is this?" Meng Yi's eyes fell on the container, looking at the black thing.
"Is this gunpowder?"
"Gunpowder? What is it used for?"
Li Zhao couldn't explain it, so he shied away and said, "In short, this is a weapon to kill the enemy. When you are in danger, just put gunpowder and iron fragments into the gun chamber and pull the trigger."
"Oh!" Meng Yi was confused after hearing this, and thought of giving it a try, but was stopped by Li Zhao.
Indeed, the gunpowder he prepared was not much and should not be wasted.
Meng Yi was not persistent, he secretly wrote down how to use it, and hid these things carefully.
"Li Shaonei, you gave me such a gift, I don't know how to thank you, tell me! Whatever you need, as long as I can do it, I will do it for you."
These are Meng Yi's sincere words. He is someone who doesn't want to owe anyone any favors.
Li Zhao originally thought that Meng Yi was reliable and did not want him to be in danger on the battlefield, so he gave him as a gift. He did not think about repaying him, but after thinking about it, he really needed him for something.
Presumably Qin Shihuang will patrol east soon! By then the country will be in chaos, and Meng Yi will also suffer. It would be best if Meng Yi could be used for his own purposes.
It's not that he wants to compete with Qin Shihuang for talents. In fact, Meng Yi will be sentenced to death soon, so why not accept him? This is both for his own sake and for his sake.
"That's good. Of course, there's no need for it now, so let's do it! You owe me a favor first, and you can pay it back when the time comes, how about it?"
Meng Yi agreed without thinking too much.
(I have been very busy recently and only have time to update at night. Sorry.)
