Great Song Super Scholar

Chapter 241
At present, the cross-quote market is very good, the trading volume is relatively small, and the price is relatively high. If the government starts to settle with the outside world at the end of the year and the beginning of the year, there will be a huge amount of cross-quotes thrown out at that time, and the price of cross-quotes will be very low. In April and May, the supply at the beginning of the year was almost used up. When the quantity decreased, the price would naturally go up.

Zhu Yuanfeng chose this time to trade because the current price is at a high point.

Fan Ning's quantity was not large, only one thousand dan tea cakes, and it was easy to find the next one. After a while, a waiter led a middle-aged man into the lobby.

"This is Fan Guan. He has a thousand loads of chachayin in his hand. We have checked it and it is true."

The clerk introduced to Fan Ning again: "This is Luo Yuanwai, willing to trade with silver, please sit down, both of you!"

The guy is very professional. He introduced the characteristics of the two of them simply and accurately without revealing the privacy of both parties. They are still willing to come forward.

Because tea references do not recognize people, there is a risk of forgery, so buying and selling generally have to be done through Jiaoyin shops, and Jiaoyin shops will be responsible for checking the authenticity of Jiaoyin.

In addition, the Jiaoyin shop will also be responsible for checking the authenticity of the buyer's money store deposit. If the picture is cheap, find a private hawker outside to buy and sell the cross-quote, and it is easy to buy a counterfeit cross-quote.

Because of the large volume of transactions, the income from tooth gold is also very rich. Like Fan Ning's transaction, if the negotiation fails, one cent of the value of the goods will be given to Jiaoyin Shop as the tooth gold, which is [-] guan, and if the negotiation is successful, it will be [-]. The tooth gold of the penny, and the buyer also has to pay a penny of the tooth gold.

Of course, the Zhu family's trading shop has given the old man face, and this time the trade is free of tooth gold.

The two of them sat down at the table without much exchange of pleasantries. Zhu Pei also wanted to go there, but Zhu Yuanfeng grabbed him and said with a smile, "You don't want to participate, let him talk, he won't suffer."

Jupe had to sit aside resentfully and wait.

There are also rules for transactions, which are generally silent transactions. The common method is to build a cloth pocket, and the two parties use gestures to trade in the cloth pocket, or directly trade in the wide sleeves.

Fanning didn't understand gestures, so he had to use another method. There was a slot on the table, which could fit into a piece of wood. Both parties entrusted a buddy to quote and bargain. Just talk, and leave if you can't agree.

The man embedded the wooden planks into the groove, and he sat in the middle and said with a smile: "Let's follow the rules. The exchange is traded in gold and silver. The seller's offer cannot exceed the original value, and the buyer's counter-offer cannot be lower than 3% of the original value. Fan Guanren offers a thousand taels of tea, which is worth 1 taels of silver. Fan Guanren’s offer cannot exceed this price, and Luo Yuanwai’s counteroffer cannot be lower than [-] taels of silver. Just start."

Fan Ning nodded. He had no objection, and the other party also nodded. The clerk smiled and said, "There are pens and paper on the table. If you don't want to write, you can use gestures. Generally, the seller quotes first, please!"

Fan Ning thought for a while, and wrote the word '[-]% off'. This is what Zhu Yuanfeng told him. There is no limit to the sale, and no bottom to the purchase. Counter-offer with [-]% off.

The buddy nodded and made a gesture on the other side of the board. The other party was a tea merchant who traded with gestures all the year round and didn't like writing.

Soon the clerk wrote another [-]% off on Fan Ning’s side. Fan Ning was secretly happy. It seemed that the other party wanted his tea quote very much, so he didn’t bargain with [-]% off. He immediately returned a [-]% off [-]% off. A [-]% discount, which means that Fan Ning does not need to sell Chayin to Jiaoyin Shop.

Fan Ning immediately wrote a [-]% discount. He was telling the other party that he would not sell it too cheaply, and the other party returned a [-]% discount with gestures.

Fan Ning wrote down [-]% off again, and the other party returned [-]% off.

The following deal will be more detailed. Fan Ning bids another [-]% off, and the other party returns [-]% off.

Next, Fan Ning still offered a [-]% discount, and the other party also offered a [-]% discount. At this price point, both parties were unwilling to make any concessions.

At this time, it is necessary to break the deadlock with the Intermediary Shop. The clerk said with a smile: "I will write a compromise price. If both parties agree, the transaction will be made at this compromise price. If not, we can talk again."

The buddy wrote a [-]%, Fan Ning gave up two points, and the other party gave up three points. It is slightly in favor of the seller.

The two sides were silent for a moment, Fan Ning wrote down the word 'agree', and the other party also made a gesture of agreement, the clerk smiled and said: "Then [-]% off [-]% off, delivery in silver, Luo Yuanwai give me the silver, Fan Guanren please come to the hall Have some tea later."

The clerk and Yuanwai Luo hurried away. There are ten money shops in the capital in the trading market, and the silver quotation will be delivered soon. Fan Ning and Yuanwai Luo also only met once. I don't know, the other party is also the same. This kind of transaction is very easy and comfortable, and there is no need to say a word.

When Fan Ning returned to the inner hall, Zhu Pei immediately came up to him and asked, "How much is the deal?"

Fan Ning smiled slightly, "[-]% off!"

Zhu Pei suddenly said pleasantly: "This price is good, almost [-]% off, and the current market is very good!"

Zhu Yuanfeng also said with a smile: "The market is really good now, but Ah Ning is lucky. The other party should be a tea merchant, and he is eager to buy. He went to the Yancha Department to ask for [-] guan at the original price. Buying Ah Ning's tea can save six If he sells the tea cakes at a higher price, he will earn at least [-] yuan, so he is not losing money at all."

Fan Ning doubled his capital in just half an hour. This is not some skill, but the Zhu family gave him a profit, of course he knows it well.

Fan Ning hurriedly saluted deeply, "Thank you, old man, for allowing me to make money!"

Zhu Yuanfeng smiled and said nothing, he can understand the good intentions of his elder brother, this time the imperial examination is over, Fan Ning is No. The body of freedom, and because of the relationship of the Liu family, the Zhu family could not immediately declare that Zhu Pei betrothed to him, so they could only push back.

Under such circumstances, the Zhu family had to properly win over Fan Ning. On the one hand, it would give him the confidence to reject the marriages of other powerful clans. On the other hand, it could be regarded as a kind of compensation for Fan Ning.

"Old man, I don't understand. Tea merchants make money, and I make money, so who will suffer?"

Zhu Yuanfeng said with a smile: "This shows that the benefits of salt tea are too great. The imperial court let out part of the benefits and encouraged the people to transport grain to the border. In fact, the imperial court still made money. If anyone loses, it can only be the common people. In the end They all have to spend money to buy salt tea."

"Everyone can carry food to the side?" Fanning asked again.

Zhu Yuanfeng hesitated and said: "It was like this during Emperor Taizong's time. The common people were very enthusiastic about transporting grain to make money. But since the first emperor, this business of transporting grain has been monopolized by the military, and all the money has been earned by the families and relatives of the frontier generals. Well, the price difference they offered has increased from three times to five times, but it is the imperial court that loses money, which can be regarded as a kind of subsidy given by the imperial court to the generals of the frontier army. The Zhu family has a relationship with the military, so they are also qualified to transport grain .”

Fan Ning understood that the imperial court used a large amount of financial subsidies for military rations, but ended up fattening high-ranking military officials. This was also a form of redundant soldiers in the Song Dynasty.

At this time, shopkeeper Chen came in, handed Fan Ning a deposit check from Zhu's money shop, and returned half of the jade pendant to him, "The silver has already been deposited in Zhu's money shop, and the money can be withdrawn by this." Half of the jade pendant, Fan Guan can go and confirm it."

"No, thank you, shopkeeper, for your trouble!"

Fan Ning took the deposit check, and seeing that the amount on it was 4000 taels of silver, he couldn't help being startled, "Why is there 300 taels more?"

The big shopkeeper smiled and said, "This is a piece of tooth gold from the other party. Since we don't charge tooth gold for this transaction, we will give this tooth gold to Fan Guanren."

"What's so funny about that?"

"This is the owner's decision and has nothing to do with us!"

Fan Ning once again thanked Zhu Yuanfeng.

Zhu Yuanfeng smiled and nodded, "I'll say thank you later, it's getting late, let's go!"

Shopkeeper Chen said to Zhu Yuanfeng: "Third Master, don't worry, I will strictly follow the plan to sell Jiaoyin, and try to sell at a high point."

"When the last batch is sold, let the word out that I still have 100 million crosses to sell, and the price will be lowered."

"My subordinate understands!"

Fan Ning could hear clearly that the conversation between Zhu Yuanfeng and Chen Da shopkeeper was actually manipulating the price of the transaction, which made Fan Ning secretly shake his head. No wonder Zhu Yuanfeng said that the transaction of the transaction is very bloody, and the root is here. I believe that price manipulation is not the only one Zhu Yuanfeng was alone.

Fan Ning was originally interested in this kind of securities trading in the Song Dynasty, but after hearing Zhu Yuanfeng's words, he suddenly lost interest. There is no investment value in a controlled securities market.

He also thought that this kind of transaction was actually sucking the blood of the court and the people, and he was even less interested.

Zhu Yuanfeng had something to do in the afternoon, he got off the car at Zhu Lou on Panlou Street, Zhu Pei smiled at Fan Ning: "It's still early, go to Shi Potian to see?"

Fan Ning nodded with a smile. It was Tian Huangshi's business that made him feel at ease. Zhu Pei immediately ordered, "Go to the Qishi Museum on Shuyuan Street!"

The carriage turned around and drove towards the Kistler Hall at high speed.

The carriage drove into Shuyuan Street from the north, and there were still more than a hundred steps away from the Shipotian Qishi Museum. When he saw a lot of people surrounded in front of him, Fan Ning immediately felt an ominous feeling, and he immediately shouted: "Stop!"

The carriage stopped slowly, Fan Ning jumped out of the carriage and walked forward quickly, Zhu Pei also got out of the carriage quickly, followed closely by her bodyguard Jian Meizi.

[Note: The cross-quote market in the Great Song Dynasty was canceled by Song Renzong because it caused too much damage to the court’s finances and the border war subsided. Because too many people’s interests were involved, it caused a bloodbath in the officialdom. 】
