Chapter 26 Insider Trading
Yang Zhen said: "Okay. We are all not outsiders. I'll tell you the truth." Then he took out some stacks of things and said, "You know these things."
Chen Zuxiao said: "Isn't this a cloth ticket?"
Yang Zhen said: "Master He has formulated various bills for the convenience of management. After taking the bills, you can go to the store to pick up the goods. Each store recognizes the tickets but not the people. In this way, the court can also be managed easily."
Chen Zuxiao said: "It's almost the same as Yanyin."
Yang Zhen said: "Almost. Just to facilitate management, Liaodong has to make a plan every year to figure out how much it will produce this year. Then how many tickets will be issued. Of course, many times these tickets are in Among the Liaodong money numbers."
This Liaodong money number is also the core of He Xi's plan.
Foreign trade adopts a billing system, and the Liaodong Money Accountant is responsible for all incoming and outgoing funds. Each venue does not directly manage money. All kinds of materials and money they need are issued by Qianhao.
Tickets are also issued by money accounts.
These people did not notice this. They also went to the Liaodong Money Account, and just regarded the Money Account as the Liaodong General Accounting Office. A settler. I didn't realize how ambitious it was behind this.
Chen Zuxiao then said: "That is to say, it is no longer the case now."
Yang Zhen said: "Not bad. Marquis Yongchang has won all the votes this year."
Chen Zuxiao slapped his thigh and said, "Brilliant."
Yang Zhen glanced at the others. It was obvious that they had not kept up with the rhythm and did not know how they were so clever.
Yang Zhen said: "Brother Chen, please explain to everyone."
Chen Zuxiao said: "Think about it. This vote is anonymous, and the person who acknowledges the vote does not recognize the person. Now it is in the hands of Marquis Yongchang. Everything we sell must be sold from Marquis Yongchang. These things are real things. It is It’s about value. Just go with the market. Whether it’s high or low, who can tell clearly.”
"Even if the gods are here, nothing can be found wrong."
Yang Zhen said: "Where are these tickets? I don't know." Yang Zhen looked at the people around him thoughtfully.
These people nodded repeatedly to show their understanding.
This secret cannot be revealed.
"Brother Yang, how many tickets are there in this batch?" someone asked.
Yang Zhen said: "There are millions of pieces of linen, millions of stones of cotton, ten million catties of salt, tens of millions of Korean paper, etc., but there is no such thing as coal and iron. It's just that there is stock in Liaodong, and you can pick it up if you want it. At least there are Three million taels.”
Chen Zuxiao mused: "Marquis Yongchang has such a big appetite."
It doesn't matter to Chen Zuxiao how many these items there are. He only cares about the total amount. After all, even if you want to come to Liaodong, you can't give it to Marquis Yongchang for nothing. What Marquis Yongchang can get is the profit from the monopoly. It seems that only a purchase amount of three million taels can give Marquis Yongchang a satisfactory harvest.
If Lan Yu were here and heard these words, he would definitely scream: "I didn't, don't talk nonsense. You are talking nonsense."
Yes. Lan Yu is an honest child. At least when it comes to making money, he is much more honest than Lan Yu in fighting. I definitely would not have thought of this situation. Anyway, with the printing factory in hand, He Xi can print as much as he wants.
Lan Yu was just a cover used by He Xi.
As long as these people really eat three million taels of goods, maybe the situation in Liaodong will be revitalized. And it's paid in advance.
Yang Zhen said: "You also know about Gaoli." Yang Zhen paused slightly. It seems to let you understand how much blue jade has been harvested in Korea. Then he said leisurely: "This appetite is great."
Chen Zuxiao thought to himself: "I'm afraid you still have a share of this. Without tens of thousands of taels, it won't be enough to satisfy your appetite."
However, this is also commonplace. Chen Zuxiao didn't say anything. He just raised a very practical question. He said: "Brother Yang, everyone has come from afar. Although we have prepared some money, the amount is not much. These three million taels are not enough for our family."
Yang Zhen said: "Of course I know. But isn't there a big order now? A big order of two million taels."
Chen Zuxiao said: "Liaodong procurement?"
Yang Zhen said: "Yes."
Chen Zuxiao secretly speculated in his heart: "It is estimated that Yang Zhen did not dare to take money from Yongchang Hou. Instead, he got the money from this purchase. After all, three million taels is an amount for every maritime merchant." But for several joint ventures, it’s nothing. After all, this batch of goods is still valuable. But it’s a bit too high. Even if it’s too high. Calculation, it’s just a small profit, so it’s not a loss.”
"However, there is another question here, that is, after giving the money, what did Marquis Yongchang promise?"
Chen Zuxiao thought of this and said, "If we sell the tickets, what can Marquis Yongchang promise us?"
Yang Zhen said: "For more than 50,000 taels, you can travel unimpeded in Japan and Korea. For 100,000 taels, you can go to Japan without asking anything. For more than 150,000 taels, you can become a partner of Xuanyang Society. This Xuanyang Society, but Yongchang Hou and He The new company established by the consorts will undertake many tasks for the military."
Yang Zhen clicked to stop. Everything that needs to be understood is understood.
Especially Chen Zuxiao. Speaking of Suijun Trading Company, this was Chen Zuxiao’s invention. Precisely because it was Chen Zuxiao who was behind it, after Lu Zhongheng excluded other firms, the firm headed by Chen Zuxiao undertook various tasks for the Nanyang Army. Only then did it rise in a very short period of time and become a large business that dominated Southeast Asia.
Of course, this is due to Lu Zhongheng's power and Chen Zuxiao's many years of connections in Nanyang. But this system also deserves a lot of credit.
Chen Zuxiao understands only how much profit there is in this.
It’s not just about undertaking logistical transportation tasks for the army. War is the biggest way to transfer wealth, because with a war, all assets will be repriced. This is true even in later generations. Once the market starts, the stock market and other financial derivatives will fall first.
In ancient times, the method was relatively simple, and it was difficult for ordinary businesses to enter the vicinity of the battlefield. But once they arrived near the battlefield, affected by the war, the locals were in danger and could not afford the price, let alone the soldiers' trophies.
Even if you knew it was valuable, you wouldn't be able to carry it with you during a war.
Get various items at a discount of one-tenth or even one-twentieth. Wait until the war is over. Earn dozens of times in one fell swoop.
"How much does it cost to get the same treatment as Xuanyangshe?" Chen Zuxiao asked.
Yang Zhen paused in his heart and said to himself: "There is no explanation on this issue." However, Yang Zhen has also been in shopping malls for a long time. He said: "This is to dig into the hands of Marquis Yongchang. However, in order to avoid suspicion, Marquis Yongchang really made an explanation." Yang Zhen stretched out his hand and said: "Fifty thousand taels. In fact, Marquis Yongchang only wants to give this qualification to the two families. That’s all.”
A total of three million taels. Five hundred thousand taels are divided between two families, and each of the following families is divided, which may not be enough.
Yang Zhen then whispered: "Tomorrow, the factories in Liaodong will accept reservations. You have also seen the production of the textile factory. It can definitely be produced. I will tell you this news in advance. Be prepared, these three million taels, Let’s take it all together.”
Chen Zuxiao shook his head and said: "Our family cannot afford it at all. Brother Yang, how much can Jinghai Company bring out?"
Yang Zhen said: "Five hundred thousand taels. I have already brought five hundred thousand taels."
Chen Zuxiao said: "Brother Yang is very wealthy, but we don't want to think about it anymore. It's not that my family can't afford the money, and it's not that we're greedy for this opportunity, it's really beyond our reach. Most of my family's properties are in Nanyang, and even if I get this quota, it may not be much. Benefits. It’s better to invite Brother Yang to come and enjoy the meal.”
Yang Zhen said: "The relationship between your family and our family for many years, not to mention the relationship between the consort and your prince, is naturally no problem. But in this case, this fat water can only flow to outsiders' fields."
In this small alliance, they are the two most powerful, while the other firms have weak backgrounds. Nonsense, the background is hard. They will never appear here again, because there are nobles behind these people. Their circles are closely connected to those in politics.
Chen Zuxiao said: "However, I still want to grab the order. If any of you want this opportunity, you can come to me. I will lend you one or two for now."
Yang Zhen said: "By the way, one more thing, Liaodong Bank also has loan business. It's just that it hasn't been opened yet, and many people have forgotten it."
