Chapter 51 Seven major grain merchants
Chapter 51 Seven Grain Merchants
The autumn wind is bleak, and the fallen leaves are falling!
Liu Dongming walked on the cold and gloomy street and made an unusually crisp sound under his feet wearing cowhide shoes.
"Tait!"
The steps were slow and powerful, with a smooth rhythm, and it kept rising and falling over the street like a flower drum.
The second street.
Liu Yuhu, the chief manager of the Red Flag of the Fuxing Pao Brothers Association in Dianjiang County, sat alone on a bench with an eight-foot-high-level sword.
He looked at Liu Dongming who was walking towards him, slowly stood up, and said gloomy: "Rice Shop, I bought it from my brother Fuxingpao in Dianjiang County. Liu Dongming, please offer a price!"
Liu Dongming stared at Liu Yuhu's eyes, and didn't even look at the big pass knife in his hand. He nodded and said, "Yes, the higher the price will be!"
After saying that, continue walking forward...
The third person coming from the street was that Qinglongpao brother from Pengshui County would slap Zhou Yuming with white paper.
The fourth street...
When we walked to the seventh street, there was no longer a certain slap brother club in front, but almost all the head-faced characters I had seen before gathered together.
Not only that, behind these people, several middle-aged people dressed in satin gowns, dressed up as merchants, also showed their faces one by one.
There is no doubt that the person coming in front of us must be the so-called Rice and Grain Chamber of Commerce except for the seven major grain merchants after Jia Changhe.
The people in the martial arts world ahead did not speak, but a merchant walked straight towards Liu Dongming.
He looked kind and had already clasped his fists to greet Liu Dongming and Zhou Long before the person arrived, saying, "Brother Liu is indeed a person who disturbs the price of rice in Chongqing. The only two of them are brave enough to walk on the night road. Isn't Brother Liu afraid that someone will rob you halfway? Hahaha!"
"The way of robbery is not scary, what is scary is the kind of people who do not robbery!" Liu Dongming looked at the middle-aged merchants, looked at the crowds of people in front of him, and then smiled and said, "I just met many brothers on the road to inquire about the rice shop. I will say it again here in front of you. You won. Due to your power, my Qinglong rice shop may be difficult to open, so I decided to take action on all the rice shops in the south and west gates. But you also know that in order to make a move, I also know that in order to make a move, I decided to take action.
I, Qinglong, paid a considerable price. Although I am preparing to take action, I cannot come to Chongqing for nothing. You are all seniors in the rice and grain industry in Chongqing. I only have one sentence. I have hundreds or thousands of brothers to eat behind me. If this business is missing, it will naturally be a big loss. So even if I want to sell it, it will definitely not be cheap!" As he said that, he looked at the middle-aged merchant and asked, "I still don't know where the name of the senior, the name of Gao, and where is the water you drink, and that mountain you worship?"
"Hahaha, don't mention the name of seniors! I am a rice shop in Pengshui County. "The middle-aged merchant was happy. The light from the corner of my eyes unconsciously glanced at the other merchants behind him. He laughed and said, "In less than ten days, who doesn't know who Qinglong rice shop is in Chongqing? How dare we be your seniors? But you insist on shouting like this. It's hard to refuse the old people who have lived for a few more days. After all, we still have to eat more than you. Just now, we are not stingy people. It's a good idea to have friends from afar. We are all brothers who eat rice and drink water from all directions. Qinglong will have difficulties. We will naturally not add to the insult. Why don't you do this? Brother Liu said a number and let's see which brothers are willing to take over, and then discuss how?"
It can be seen that Tian Wenxi feels very good about himself. As one of the eight major grain merchants, he even has a group of thugs like this behind him. He claims to be a character, so that although he appreciates Liu Dongming's courage, he still regards Liu Dongming as a junior.
Now Liu Dongming calls him a senior. Although he is a little humble, he is full of complacent inside and outside.
However, merchants are merchants. Although Tian Wen was content, he still made up his mind, which was to take down Qinglong Rice Shop at the lowest price.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have come out to ask Liu Dongming for questions first.
"So it's Senior Tian, I admire you for a long time!" Liu Dongming looked respectful and clasped his fists at Tian Wenxi as a formal greeting. Then he looked at the crowd around him and said seriously: "In this way, I won't speak randomly. I will report a set of data to you. After you finish listening, let's talk about the price!"
"Okay!" At that moment, a merchant took over Liu Dongming's words.
Immediately afterwards, several other merchants nodded.
They actually wanted to hear what the data Liu Dongming was about to report was, but nothing unexpected happened must be related to Qinglong Rice Shop. They all stared at Liu Dongming with their eyes flashing, afraid of missing a word.
Seeing that the big guys nodded, Liu Dongming continued: "First of all, I want to talk about the price of rice! Actually, I don't need to say about this. All seniors have been old people for decades. You should know that except for new rice, the cost price of Chen Mi is generally about one cent 2 cents. I wonder if you seniors agree with my words!"
Liu Dongming's rice price is actually about one cent and three cents, and the main reason is that it is in the transportation in the middle.
These merchants are different. They are originally locals in Chongqing, and the rice they have on hand is often transported from surrounding cities and counties, and the transportation costs are almost negligible.
Therefore, the cost of Chenmi is naturally one to two cents lower than the transportation fee.
After hearing Liu Dongming's words, the merchants did not say anything, but they all nodded secretly, which was considered as a default.
Of course, it is not easy for them to nod in front of so many people present.
After all, the rice price has been hyped up by them to 20% and 50% in the black market. If the cost price is spread, then it will not be criticized by thousands of people?
However, the people who came tonight were all the robe brothers who were raised behind them, and their tone was still very tight.
"Since you seniors don't object, I will continue to say it!" Liu Dongming was not surprised that no one answered and continued directly: "Everyone knows that the price of grain I sell is one cent and five cents. In addition to the wages to workers, the storefront rent and necessary daily expenses, a pound of rice Qinglong rice shop can make about 1 cent. In other words, in fact, even if I sell one cent and five cents, I won't lose, just make less money!"
His words are the truth.
The rice and grain business is actually a long-term business. Although a cent of money seems not much, it can be sold for millions of kilograms a month... The profit is also quite large.
But it is obvious that a profit of just one cent of money can no longer satisfy the appetites of these big guys, and they want more!
However, several grain merchants knew about these things, so some people spoke impatiently and said, "Liu Dongming, I know all these things. You should tell me how many members you have in the three rice shops now! I think the other brothers are most concerned about is the number of members!"
