In fact, Meizishan still had some thoughts.
In fact, on the third day after selling grain in Luoyang, someone contacted him and asked him to sell grain. But the price offered by the other party was only one hundred and fifty cents per dou, so how could he agree to it? You must know that food prices have increased to varying degrees in various places. As far as he knows, the cheapest place where food costs is 167 cents per dou.
But in the next few days, the situation became increasingly uncomfortable. The most important thing is that he got the news that the amount of grain in Luoyang was huge, and they, the Yuzhou Grain Merchant Chamber of Commerce, simply couldn't buy it.
He realized at that time that something was wrong. When the Grain Merchant Chamber of Commerce could no longer afford it, and the other party continued to sell grain at lower prices, would the Grain Merchant Chamber of Commerce follow suit or not?
Follow the price cuts and lose money.
If they don't follow, when Nanyang gets through this period and the food comes next year, their food will be in their hands.
Ship it somewhere else to sell? Because there is loss, the cost will increase, which is not cost-effective.
After clarifying this, he negotiated with the other party yesterday and agreed to sell grain.
At this price, he was actually at a slight loss, but there was nothing he could do. As he said just now, the water in Nanyang was too deep. He was worried that if he continued, he would be submerged. Getting out with a small loss is pretty good these days.
The Grain Merchant Chamber of Commerce is buying grain at a price of 240 Wen, but he wants to sell it to the Grain Merchant Chamber of Commerce. Isn't this too risky an operation?
Mei Zishan was a small grain merchant. He came to the Yamen and, under the witness of the officials, sold the 100,000 shi of grain in his hand at a price of 150 yuan per bucket.
At the same time, he noticed that the liquidated damages were very high. Obviously, the other party was preventing them from going back on their word.
For a moment, Mei Zishan sighed. From now on, the game between Luoyang and Xuchang has nothing to do with him?
Lu Wei put away the contract with a smile, "Shop Manager Mei, I believe that in the near future, you will be grateful for the decision you made today." And the other party also hinted that they should keep it secret.
Mei Zishan glanced at him. Even if the other party didn't ask, he wouldn't go out and yell. Wouldn't he offend Che Jiuming if he said so? He doesn't like asking for trouble.
"I wonder if any of Shopkeeper Mei's friends have abandoned the dark side and turned to the light like Shopkeeper Mei?"
Mei Zishan glanced at him and said, "So what if I have it, so what if I don't have it?" The people in front of him should be people from Luoyang. These people make it impossible for him to make money, and he doesn't like them.
Lu Wei didn't care about his coldness and still greeted him warmly, "Shopkeeper Mei, are you thirsty? How about we sit over there and have a cup of tea?"
Meizishan: Just sit down, who is afraid of whom?
When Mei Zishan left, he was in a daze. The other party was actually willing to let him earn account fees from it? And he actually agreed to that man named Lu to help him? Don't blame him for betraying his friends for glory, it's just that the other party gave him a little too much.
On the seventh day, Luoyang directly threw out 50,000 shi of grain at the price of two hundred and thirty one bucket, and Runan followed closely and threw out 30,000 shi.
Che Jiuming had a gloomy face and ordered the 80,000 shi of food to be eaten, but he spent nearly 200,000 taels on it.
Later, Mei Zishan secretly visited the Zhou family's door.
Zhou Beicheng exclaimed, "What? You have secretly sold your 100,000 shi of grain?"
"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" You've seen what the situation is like now, run away and get it done as soon as possible."
"You run so fast." Zhou Beicheng sighed.
Mei Zishan smiled and said nothing.
"It's just that the price of food is a bit low." Zhou Beicheng thought to himself, at this price, they would make a small loss.
Mei Zishan spread his hands and said, "There is no way. In the current situation, the game between Xuchang and Luoyang is either to win and eat big, or to lose and lose everything. I am timid, so I just chose not to play. It is a small loss. Pull down.”
If you withdraw now, you will lose only one opportunity at most. But as the saying goes, if you keep the green hills, you won’t have to worry about running out of firewood.
Zhou Beicheng knew that this was the choice Mei Zishan would make.
"What about you? What do you think?" Mei Zishan asked.
Zhou Beicheng was speechless, "You just told me that you want me to make a decision immediately? I don't have to think about it?"
"No, you don't think that the other party just came to me, do you?"
Hearing this, Zhou Beicheng was shocked.
"Make a decision as soon as possible, otherwise I'm afraid you will regret it." Mei Zishan felt that now was the critical time to get away, and I was afraid there would be a stampede behind.
Zhou Beicheng gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, you ask me the price and I'll sell it!"
"Sure, let me ask for you."
Two hours later, Mei Zishan sat across from Zhou Beicheng again, "The price is no longer the same as before."
Zhou Beicheng's heart trembled and he asked anxiously, "What is the other party's current price?"
"One hundred and four per bucket, do you still want to sell it?"
Zhou Beicheng gritted his teeth and said, "Sell!"
Liaodong County, Pingguo County
"President, what's wrong? When Mr. Xue was passing through Liaoxi County with his food team and more than 20,000 victims from Nandi, he was pulled down by the county governor Lu Yiliang."
Lu Songli frowned slightly. Lu Yiliang had been making trouble for her father, and he might not let it go this time.
"President, Mr. Lu said that you just need to know about this matter. He will handle it, so you don't have to worry."
"Yes." Lu Songli's face sank slightly. If it were nothing else, Qin Sheng had traveled thousands of miles. There were still people who brought back the food from the southern region. How could he intercept him?
She knocked on the table lightly. Since the piece of meat couldn't reach her plate, she would take the other person's pot and let the meat rot in the pot. It was still hers!
Lu Desheng, who was far away in Houcheng, was also very angry.
He first learned that the Shi family was still unwilling to give up, and sent people to check on the Qin family again, hoping that his daughter would come down to make room for Shi Xue. Immediately afterwards, Lu Yiliang intercepted Xue Xu's grain team and more than 20,000 southern disaster victims.
Lu Desheng thought, the Shi family is really shameless, right? Then he will fulfill them!
"Old Chen, go and call Wang Dong for me!" Wang Dong was the navy leader he had raised when he was in Chang'an. He brought a few brothers to Liaodong County a while ago.
Not long after, a carefree young man with a baby face came in, "Master, are you looking for me?"
"Well, there's something I need you to do."
"You said, I will definitely do it for you!" Wang Dong slapped his chest.
For Wang Dong, he really didn't want to recall those days in Chang'an.
After Mr. Lu left, he and his brothers had a miserable life, and they almost couldn't even eat.
You know, when Mr. Lu was here, they lived a very comfortable life.
At that time, he regretted not leaving Chang'an with Mr. Lu.
Later, after Mr. Lu settled down here, Manager Chen wrote to him in the name of his uncle and also sent him some local objects from Liaodong County.
Manager Chen asked him in the letter whether he was doing well recently. He almost cried. Of course, he was not doing well.
Since then, the two have maintained correspondence.
Later, when General Manager Chen asked him if he would like to develop in Liaodong County, he came with a few brothers who were willing to leave.
He doesn't have much ability except spreading eye-catching rumors. After what happened in Chang'an, he finally understood that Mr. Lu was his food and clothing parent, and he would have food to eat by following Mr. Lu.
