In any era, anyone who dares to do business is a bold person.
In the feudal and man-governed era, without extraordinary means and courage, businessmen would not only not be able to make money, but they would also lose their lives.
Those who dare to do business across borders and carry hundreds of trucks with goods have a courage that cannot be described as overwhelming. They are truly fearless.
The higher the risk, the higher the reward.
These cross-border caravans leave from their place of origin and travel north for two to three thousand miles to the grassland. As long as they sell their goods, they can earn tens of thousands of taels of silver in just one trip. If you invest hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in a In a market where there is a 70% chance of success, there is almost no psychological pressure for them.
What are the considerations?
You can make another fortune in autumn, and if you lose, you can gain the favor of a ruthless person like Fang Fang.
A man who can make the Tatar Khan send a pure-blooded descendant of the legendary war horse, no matter what the reason is, this will not be a simple person.
"During this period, we have done a lot of publicity using that model article. How should we respond to the Tatar Khan?"
The pastures under the name of the Tatar Khan are very wide, but not all of them are close to the border. According to logic, they should give equal feedback on how helpful the people are. However, the location of the Tatar Khan's pastures is really embarrassing. I want to give them all Can't give it.
"Now that the range of the pasture has been determined, don't move any more. As for giving back, we can start from other places!"
After thinking for a moment, Fang Fang smiled and said, "This year we are extremely conservative in framing the grassland and cattle and sheep. The two million acres of grassland will be fully harvested, and only three to four hundred thousand will be slaughtered. The net meat after slaughter will only be 200,000 dan. This number looks like It’s very big, but in reality it’s just that. Once the sales channels are opened, it may only take three or four months to ship it out!”
The meat yield rate of live sheep is about 55%, and the clean meat rate is about 45%. A live sheep slaughters only 50 or 60 kilograms.
The development of affairs cannot be achieved overnight. Two million ranches can be settled directly, and the annual rent is only fourteen to five thousand taels. After all, the pastures themselves have good and bad qualities. Due to the situation between the two countries, these pastures themselves have not been developed, and renting them out is Earn,.
But the cattle and sheep in the pasture cannot be filled all at once.
Calculating that an average of 10,000 acres can raise 100,000 sheep per year, two million means 20 million sheep. If discounted by half, it would still require 80,000 or 90,000 sheep.
This order of magnitude cannot be closed even if it is opened. It can only be filled in little by little. At the current speed, it will be impossible to feed 8 to 9 million animals before May.
For the sustainability of the pasture, at least half must be left for breeding and waiting for the coming year. Only 300,000 to 400,000 lambs can be slaughtered in autumn and winter. Calculated with a net meat rate of 45%, the mutton that can be traded in the market this year is only 200,000 shi. up and down.
This output may seem exaggerated, but in fact it is nothing at all.
Julu in the Wu Dynasty had a population of four to five million, and the average monthly consumption of beef and mutton was this amount. In order to gain fat for the winter when changing machines in autumn and winter, the consumption of mutton in Tai'an City in September and October could reach this amount, including other countries. The county is destined to far exceed this level.
This is just for Julu. Counting Qingzhou, southern Jizhou and other areas that were relatively granted by the Wu Dynasty, 200,000 shi of mutton is the consumption of one ten-day period in a special season.
Huang An nodded, "Every year through smuggling, the amount of beef and mutton shipped out is almost the same, which is far from enough to meet consumption!"
The Wu Dynasty tacitly approved of smuggling, but smuggling is smuggling after all. You may come openly, go to the mainland, station at a post station, and pass the checkpoint. The caravan needs to walk in the mountains and take a long detour, and you can still sell two to three hundred thousand yuan. Stone's mutton is enough to imagine the demand for northern meat in the Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty.
"Beef and mutton are relatively cheap. It is actually not profitable to smuggle beef and mutton. They are only shipped out in exchange for high-profit goods. This year, beef and mutton can be sold openly. Take the straight road, stay at the inn, and the road is smooth. Millions of stones can be easily earned. thing!"
"Especially in the second half of the year, straight roads have been widened and bridges have been completed. The road that originally required a dozen or so detours has been shortened by more than half. It will not be difficult to double the transportation volume in the second half of the year!"
Xiaohu brought a plate of fruits and found a seat next to him.
"How many have we signed now?" Fang Fang took a frozen pear and bit it open, and the sweet juice flowed out from the corner of his mouth.
"Dingzhen 80,000 shi, Changshan 100,000, Wuyuan 120,000, Guangchang local 130,000, plus the estimated 200,000, currently around 630,000 shi have been set, and the corresponding contract samples have begun to be printed. , you can take it out for signing at any time!" Xiaohuhui reported.
"Printing another 70,000 shi, our transactions this year will be based on 700,000 shi, and the supply will start in August!" Fang Fang said while chewing a frozen pear.
In August, one batch will be supplied every ten days, and it will last until mid-November. Eleven batches will be supplied. Each batch is only 70,000 to 80,000 shi. There is not much pressure on the road. Besides, there is no need to travel from north to south. The caravan itself can also take away a large part.
"Yes, even if the land transportation cannot be carried out, we can still lose our share to the Ming Dynasty in the end. The Ming Dynasty is very wealthy!"
The corner of Huang An's mouth twitched when he thought of his contact with the Shen Family Trading Company in the Ming Dynasty. Fortunately, he was a descendant of Shen Wansan, a wealthy man in the early Ming Dynasty. When they met, he said that he would eat ten ships of mutton, and also talked about martial arts. They want as much export as the North allows.
But people really have that ability, especially after the equation explained the futures operation process, the Shen family's already positive feedback went a step further. If Qinggu Tun hadn't been built yet, people were already ready to move in.
"There are many people who talk nicely in this world. The key is to be able to sell it in the future. Let Fan Wen bring back the twenty thousand stone contract. If you are willing, let the Tatar Khan send someone over to sign the contract!"
The date for signing the contract is set after the next round of household market starts. It is not necessary to sign all the contracts. At least 30% of the contracts must be signed before the contract trading can begin.
Judging from the current rhythm and market feedback, the gameplay of contract futures is actually questioned by the warriors who were the first to accept it. Song people and Ming people accepted it very easily, and they have begun to study the gameplay carefully. Even The reaction of the Later Tang Dynasty, which had been sucked by the Song Dynasty for decades, was faster than that of the warriors.
And these people are now waiting for Qinggutun to open!
…
"The genius' thinking is different. This set of gameplay can be put into Quanzhou to hedge against uncontrollable risks at sea!"
In the inn, Shen Qingquan put down the torn futures manual.
"Proprietor, this system is based on novel thinking and seemingly comprehensive considerations, but there is no successful precedent yet. Even if we want to replicate it, it will not be that easy!" Shen Nian offered tea, "More importantly, this There is support from the Wu Dynasty royal family behind the matter, and the reputation of a warrior is not so easy to replicate!"
Futures are very good. Whoever controls futures can control the market. This kind of power cannot be controlled by private individuals at all.
"Of course I know!"
Shen Qingquan nodded, "This matter is not only about word of mouth, but also requires strong execution ability. Without the guarantee of execution ability, everything is an empty shell, because if you want to make the contract be fulfilled, it is useless to rely on words or condemnation. Only force can guarantee it. The two million acres of grassland may seem like the warriors and the barbarians are evenly divided, but don’t forget that the one million acres on the grassland is not only within the radiation range of the warriors’ force, but also includes areas outside the grassland. All fell under the sword of the warrior!"
