AWB Chapter 303 I knew it was hard to buy gold.
Chapter 303 I knew it was hard to buy gold.
“Tsk, tsk—”
"Da da da, da da da -"
Several ox carts and donkey carts came from the village. On the leading cart sat Wu Lizheng and He Hua from Xiahe Village.
Zhao Xiu came with a team of constables carrying a ruler, and the two sides met.
"Captain Zhao!"
Wu Lizheng jumped off the donkey cart and walked forward to greet Zhao Xiu.
Zhao Xiu gestured backwards, looked at the carts they were driving, and asked:
"Wu Lizheng, where are you going with your ox-cart and donkey-cart?"
Wu Lizheng smiled and said proudly:
"We have sold the rice seeds and made some money. Let's go to Quanyang County to buy some things. The old things at home have been patched up and are no longer useful!"
"buy?"
Zhao Xiu quickly pulled Wu Lizheng back and said:
"Don't worry, you guys are going to buy a lot of things, right?"
If Wu Lizheng only wanted to buy a few things, he wouldn't stop him.
But if they buy too much, Wu Lizheng will definitely chase him to his doorstep and scold him tomorrow.
Wu Lizheng was a little confused, but still pointed to the lanes behind:
"Yes, there are quite a few, and we also have to bring them to the people in the village. Every household is short of something."
Zhao Xiu cried out, "Wu Lizheng, it's a good thing we met today, otherwise you would have suffered a great loss!"
"Big loss?"
Zhao Xiu's words left Wu Lizheng and his men confused, but when they heard that they were going to lose money, they became anxious.
Lotus also jumped off the carriage and asked:
"Captain Zhao, please tell us why we suffered such a huge loss. Did something happen in Quanyang County today?"
Zhao Xiu pointed to the place where the shops in the county were gathered and said with a smile:
"It's not that something happened in Quanyang County, but something happened in Tongan County."
Everyone looked at each other.
When they saw Zhao Xiu's expression, they knew it was a good thing.
Wu Lizheng quickly asked:
"Captain Zhao, please stop keeping us in suspense. It makes me so nervous. Tell us now."
Zhao Xiu smiled and said in the direction of his finger:
"Hot news just came out. Our Tongan County has its own chamber of commerce. When it was first established, it was called the Tongan Chamber of Commerce. Almost all the merchants in our county have joined the chamber of commerce."
Lotus opened her mouth wide when she heard that.
This must be the adults’ arrangement!
Adults are so awesome!
Before everyone had time to rejoice for the county, Zhao Xiu said:
"And our Tongan Chamber of Commerce has signed a contract with the Fang family in Quanyang County. We will basically buy goods from them in the future. It will be cheaper than buying directly from Quanyang County!"
“And it’s even cheaper!”
Wu Lizheng covered his chest.
No wonder Captain Zhao didn't allow them to go to Quanyang County to buy! They almost lost a lot of money!
Upon hearing the news, several villagers who were driving the carts could no longer sit still and jumped off the carts one after another.
They all pulled Wu Lizheng's sleeves and said:
"Wu Lizheng, Wu Lizheng. Why are we going to Quanyang County? If there is money, it should be earned by our own merchants! Let's turn around!"
"Yes, yes, we have to turn around."
Wu Lizheng was very agile and jumped onto the car.
"Captain Zhao, thank you so much! If you hadn't told us the news, we would have wasted our time and money on the trip to Quanyang County!"
This impatient person.
Zhao Xiu shook his head and reached out to grab the reins of the ox cart.
"Wu Lizheng, there is another piece of news..."
There’s more news!
Everyone stretched their necks, waiting for Zhao Xiu's next words.
"Because the Tongan Chamber of Commerce has just been established, the channels for future purchases have also changed, so the previous stocks of each merchant... must be sold at a low price! One is to sell the stocks quickly, and the other is that the merchants are thinking about the people in our county!"
"Selling at a low price!"
The old man driving the cart was even more excited than Wu Lizheng and asked, "How cheap is it?"
"How shameless."
Zhao Xiu said calmly:
"The lowest price you can get is probably about 50% to 60% of what you normally buy."
"How many?!"
Wu Lizheng grabbed Zhao Xiu's sleeve and screamed:
"Fifty or sixty percent?! That would be like pie in the sky!"
He suddenly became anxious.
"Captain Zhao, you said this is the latest news, so if we go now, we should be able to catch it! I won't say much to thank you, I will treat you to meat tomorrow!"
Selling at 50% to 60% of the price makes people itchy just hearing about it.
Fortunately, they met Captain Zhao! The money they saved could probably buy a lot of meat!
"Wait a minute!"
Zhao Xiu called them and stopped them, feeling somewhat helpless.
Wu Lizheng didn't even think about it. As a county constable, he had just received the news, which must not have spread widely yet.
"Wu Lizheng, don't worry. It's not good for your health at your age."
"That's right, Dad, don't worry."
He Hua analyzed the matter thoroughly from Zhao Xiu's few words.
She patted Wu Lizheng on the back and said to him:
"Captain Zhao just received the news, which means that not many people know about it yet. And merchants can't just start selling at a low price at the drop of a hat. They must have some preparations. If we go now, they won't be ready yet, and we'll end up making a fool of ourselves."
Zhao Xiu nodded appreciatively.
"Miss Lotus is smart, that's exactly what's going on. This news was just told to me by Young Master Wang. I shouldn't have told you in advance, but looking at your big and small carts, if you go to Quanyang County to buy, I'm afraid you'll lose a lot of money."
He added:
"According to Master Wang, the Chamber of Commerce will release the news around noon today, and merchants will prepare for a day before officially starting the sale at a low price."
"That's good, that's good."
Wu Lizheng was no longer anxious. He patted his chest with lingering fear:
"Captain Zhao, thank you so much this time."
"It's okay."
Zhao Xiu waved his hand.
"We are all from the same village. If you buy a few things, I won't interfere. But if you buy a lot, I think I should tell you in advance."
Zhao Xiu's image immediately rose in everyone's mind, and he was named the second living Bodhisattva in the county!
He looked at the sun, turned around and said:
"Okay, Li Zheng Wu. We still have to patrol the streets, so I won't say more to you. If you have nothing to do, you can walk around the county and wait for news. If I'm right, this sale should be a fixed amount per household, and you should bring your household registration to avoid being taken advantage of by people from other counties."
"Good good!"
Wu Lizheng rubbed his hands excitedly and shouted to the backs of Zhao Xiu and the others:
"Captain Zhao, please walk slowly!"
He jumped onto the carriage and called out to everyone:
"Let's go! Find a place to tie up the cows and donkeys. We have some free time today, so let's walk around and wait for news!"
"Let's go!"
Everyone cheered and left in a happy mood.
One of the greatest blessings in life is not "Luckily, fortunately, knowing earlier is priceless."
Even though the money lost is less than the money saved, the feeling is completely different in comparison.
