Only 10,000 yuan for a handful of soybeans?
Chen Qun looked at Mi Zhu in disbelief. Could it be that he was joking?
The price of a handful of soybeans has dropped by forty times!
"Mi Zizhong, are you kidding me?"
A sharp look flashed in Chen Qun's eyes. He was the helmsman of the Chen family in Yingchuan.
Now, he was being played by Mi Zhu, a businessman!
“Half of the ten households in the Central Plains are growing soybeans.”
"If our Mi family caravan doesn't go harvesting, what can they do with the soybeans in their hands?"
"If you eat too much of this stuff, you will feel flatulent and uncomfortable. Even if it is used to feed horses, I'm afraid it's not suitable."
"By the way, I wonder if Mr. Chen has ever heard that the positions of the buyer and seller have changed."
It took a year for Mi Zhu to understand what Liu Mang had done, which was to push Cao Cao into the abyss of eternal destruction.
Liu Mang now wants to control the market!
Driven by the pursuit of profits in the market, farmers in the Central Plains region began to expand planting on a large scale, and the crushing market in the Central Plains also expanded significantly.
Just when Cao Cao thought the soybean market was ready for a good harvest, Mi's caravan made precise moves, and the price of soybeans was cut in half in an instant!
Not only farmers are facing huge losses, but the most serious ones are crops such as millet, wheat, and rice, which are far less than the supply and demand of the army.
Originally, Cao Cao and others were still holding on to the idea of having nothing to lose, and used the money earned from soybeans to go to Liu Bei to buy food.
This is great, the price of soybeans has been cut in half. If you sell it to Liu Bei, you will lose money and make a profit.
"That's all about the soybeans..."
Chen Qun gritted his teeth at this moment, wishing he could pull out the muscles and bones of Mi Zhu in front of him.
"We're going to buy rice from the caravan!"
"What a coincidence, the price of rice this year is quite good, a handful costs 500,000 yuan!"
When Chen Qun heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked. Last year, a handful of soybeans was only 400,000 yuan. This year, a handful of rice was worth 500,000 yuan?
"Rice sells for five hundred thousand a bushel, why don't you go and grab it?"
"If you go to grab it, you will still have to spend troops. Now you can make money standing up without spending a single soldier. Why not?"
Mi Zhu smiled jokingly, how many people ridiculed Liu Mang as a fool and a prodigal last year?
This year, everyone will know that Mi Zizhong’s nephew is by no means a mediocre person, but a big shot who can turn clouds and rain with his hands!
"What about corn?"
"A handful of five hundred thousand dollars."
"wheat?"
"A handful of dendrobium costs five hundred thousand."
"Why is it so expensive!"
Chen Qun's voice was hysterical. I'm afraid the money he spent selling soybeans last year will be returned to Liu Mang this year.
Unfortunately, this is not enough. The army's demand for rice is much higher than soybeans!
Although there is no war in the Central Plains, Wuhuan, Xianbei and other forces still occupy the borders of Youzhou and Bingzhou.
The food needed by the officers and soldiers cannot be discounted!
"Mi Zizhong, aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"
Chen Qun had never looked down upon Mi Zhu, believing that the latter only gained his current position of power because of his sister and nephew.
After all, how capable can a businessman be?
But it was the businessman in front of him who could make the soybeans that the farmers had worked hard for a year become so worthless with just one sentence.
With just one sentence, the prices of rice, corn, and wheat can double!
merchant? Hurtful!
"I'm just a businessman. I don't have the red tape and intrigues of nobles like you."
"So what if you kill me? Anyway, your soybeans are still unharvested, and the border troops are still short of millet, wheat and rice."
"Killing me will only make Cao Cao laugh at others! Being manipulated by my heir apparent, in the end he can only vent his anger by killing a businessman."
Mi Zhu's words made Chen Qun angry. He finally understood what Liu Mang was deliberately thinking!
Deliberately raising the price of soybeans allowed Cao Cao to reap the benefits. He even deliberately pretended to be a prodigal and bought the soybeans in the treasury in one fell swoop!
As for the soy milk fried dough sticks and pressed soybean oil, they are all called to improve the Central Plains diet, but they are all deceptions!
Let King Wei think that Liu Mang needs soybeans, and a lot of soybeans!
As a result, half of the farmers in the Central Plains were instigated by interests to plant soybeans crazily.
Just when everyone thought that there would be a bumper soybean harvest and they could make a lot of money, Liu Mang finally showed his fangs!
"This is the law of the market. Things are rare and valuable."
"It's a pity that you have been fooled by the prince. There are so many soybeans, why should we spend 400,000 yuan to buy a handful of soybeans?"
"It seems that you Yingchuan nobles are nothing more than this. If Guo Fengxiao and Xun Wenruo were here, Cao Cao might not be fooled."
Mi Zhu pushed Chen Qun away and said with a smile: "If you kill me, you won't be able to buy rice at a low price. Why not ask Jiangdong Sun Quan?"
Chen Qun seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw. He didn't even bother to talk to Mi Zhu and went directly to find Hua Xin.
This person was an old minister of Soochow, and he would definitely be able to speak to Sun Quan.
"Master Hua Xin, you must help me!"
"There is always a lot of rice in Soochow, can you sell some to us?"
As a member of the Yingchuan noble clan, Chen Qun's words were considered to be condescending.
Unfortunately, Hua Xin sighed: "Mr. Chen, it's not that I don't want to help. Soochow is also facing many difficulties this year!"
"Liu Mang was buying soybeans in the Central Plains before, but Marquis Wu put them on the pole and delivered them to his door."
"They even ordered most farmers to plant soybeans!"
"Now the autumn rice harvest is barely enough for Jiangdong to eat..."
Hua Xin's face felt hot, and Liu Mang probably didn't want to harvest Sun Quan in the first place.
Unexpectedly, Sun Quan was smart enough to see the huge profits from soybeans, so he took the initiative to stick to it.
If the leeks come to you on their own, how can they not be harvested?
Liu Mang was naturally happy to harvest, and Sun Quan was also looking to buy rice.
"This... what should we do..."
There was a trace of despair in Chen Qun's eyes, and Liu Mang made a clever move, but was ridiculed by them.
They are the real fools who co-authored it. At that time, they still laughed at others' prodigal sons.
…
Jiangling.
Liu Mang refused to meet either Cao Cao or Sun Quan's envoy.
"Your Majesty, I was blind and failed to see your plan!"
Pang Tong's face was a little hot. Kong Ming had always supported Liu Mang, so it seemed that he was still a little behind Kong Ming.
"Mang'er... a handful of rice can actually be sold for half a million dollars? This is a huge profit compared to robbing money!"
Guan Yu couldn't sit still. In less than a year, the supply and demand relationship between the two parties had changed.
"My eldest nephew...you can obviously rob, but you still want to give them a chance to buy and sell. You really make me cry to death!"
Zhang Fei was filled with emotions. He was afraid that the money spent on purchasing soybeans last year would have to be recovered with interest this time.
Liu Mang stood with his hands behind his back. Yesterday he was ignored by others, but today he is beyond your reach.
"Go and tell them that if they continue to nag you, they will get six hundred thousand yuan a bushel of rice from now on!"
