Chapter 476 Xuzhou Salt Merchant Has a Way
Soon, all the salt merchants in Xuzhou discovered this strange phenomenon.
They both thought the other was crazy.
However, they immediately mobilized their forces to investigate, and soon discovered that the other party was indeed a lunatic.
Because this is Zhang Yu, Zhang Yu is a recognized lunatic.
A lunatic is a lunatic, and he does things like crazy, and the salt they sell is half the price of theirs.
"Crazy, crazy, how could it be possible to produce such white and high-quality table salt at such a low price." When the salt merchants saw the salt sold by Zhang Yu, they all shouted.
It's not that they haven't seen this kind of table salt, but they eat it every day.
Because what they eat is the salt sold by the Mi family.
The price of salt sold by the Mi family was ten times higher than what they sold.
But they thought it was worth it, because the salt was white and without any impurities, and it was incomparable with their own salt.
So these salt merchants thought that Mi used some special method to produce, the output would not be high, and the cost would be high, so it would not have any impact on them.
The Mi family is also smart, in order not to touch the interests of these people, so the salt he sells is high-end, sold to those aristocratic families, and sold to rich people.
But what is the situation now?
What Zhang Yu sells is the kind they usually pay ten times the price for.
And now it is on a large scale, and the price is only half of theirs.
In this way, where will anyone buy their salt.
Several salt merchants panicked.
"Go and contact several other salt merchants to discuss matters."
If it was someone else, they would definitely suppress it immediately. They have too many ways, but this time they are facing Zhang Yu.
Tao Qian couldn't do anything about Zhang Yu, how dare they do anything to Zhang Yu?
These salt merchants,
No one really dared to confront Zhang Yu directly, so they wanted to unite.
Soon, the six major salt merchants in Xuzhou gathered together.
"I believe everyone knows the situation. There were differences and competitions in the past. Those are all things in the future. What we have to do now is to face Zhang Yu's crazy behavior." Yan Cheng said to several Patriarchs.
These several patriarchs directly baked a teahouse in the teahouse in Xiapicheng. After all, they have conflicts among them, and it is not suitable to go to anyone's house.
After Yan Cheng spoke, the other five people did not object, they nodded silently, and then began to think.
Liu Shan said: "I think we can use our respective strengths to join forces to suppress them and drive them out of Xuzhou."
"That's all for the others. Do you dare to Zhang Yu's people? I can guarantee that if you really do that, he will dare to lead an army to flatten your Liu family directly. Zhang Yu is a lunatic, so he dares to do this." Among them Said the head of a family.
Liu Shan immediately smirked, Zhang Yu had done too many crazy things, they were really scared.
Originally, Liu Shan knew that he couldn't do this, and one family didn't dare, so he wanted to unite the six families to do it together.
Everyone was struggling to find a way, Yan Cheng looked at everyone and said: "The salt Zhang Yu sells is already close to our cost, we can observe for a few more days, how much salt he can sell, but we need information Sharing, the six major salt merchants are basically responsible for a piece of land."
This is also what everyone doesn't understand. Zhang Yu's salt is of such good quality that even if the price is the same as theirs, or higher than theirs, he will not worry about not being able to sell it. Why does Zhang Yu sell it at half price?
Everyone doesn't understand.
In fact, the salt that Zhang Yu sold in Xuzhou was sold at a high price, and the price he sold in his own territory was much lower than this price.
The way to obtain salt in this era is to boil water to get salt.
The method is very simple, set up a large pot, and then use firewood to boil sea water.
Just think about how much this cost.
Not to mention anything else, it takes one or two people to operate a big pot, and it also consumes a lot of firewood, and the salt that is boiled is often not much.
Therefore, the cost of salt in this era was very high.
As for Zhang Yu's table salt, the cost is very low, and the amount obtained is very large.
Under Zhang Yu's rule, there are many beaches in both the north and the south, where salt can be dried.
Therefore, the table salt that Zhang Yu sold in Xuzhou was huge profits in itself.
Suddenly Xu Ming, a salt merchant, said: "It's too passive, I have a way."
When Xu Ming opened his mouth, everyone looked at him.
When everyone focused their attention, Xu Ming smiled, took a sip of tea and said, "In fact, you don't have to be so nervous. Zhang Yu's selling salt like this will not last long. It can be done in the short term, and it will not hurt him in the long run." So my solution is that we each take out the money and collect Zhang Yu's salt."
Everyone's eyes lit up. This is a good way in the short term. When Zhang Yu raises the price, they can make a lot of money buying the salt.
"It's feasible. I think Zhang Yu just wants to squeeze us out in the short term, and then monopolize us to make huge profits. He must have other methods in the follow-up. Let's work together to defeat Zhang Yu's first plan, and then see his follow-up What else can I do?" Liu Shan said.
Everyone thought this was a good idea. They expected that Zhang Yu must have planned it for a long time, and it was impossible to keep selling salt like this.
Several companies discussed a solution, and it was much easier, so they broke up and went back to arrange.
In the short term, this kind of incident did not cause any confusion. Only a few salt merchants felt the pressure, and Tao Qian didn't know it at all.
At this time, Tao Qian has been focusing on military affairs, always wanting to make Xuzhou stronger again, against Cao Cao and Zhang Yu.
When these salt merchants went back, they had money in their hands, so they went to various places and began to buy Zhang Yu's salt in large quantities.
Two days later, Zhang Yu received the news. It was so fast because Yangzhou and Xuzhou are close to each other in some places, and Zhang Yu has already set up an intelligence system, and there will be fast horses galloping day and night.
"Haha, that's great. We can ship a large amount of goods again and earn real money." Zhang Yu laughed happily when he received the news.
He called Zhang Zhao and told Zhang Zhao what happened in Xuzhou.
"My lord, my subordinates will immediately increase the supply to Xuzhou, and try to keep our salt merchants from stocking up."
Zhang Zhao was the happiest and most active. This allowed him to obtain a large amount of copper coins in a short period of time to solve the money shortage.
Zhang Zhao understands that over the years, Kuaiji County has dried up too much salt and hoarded too much salt. A lot of this salt has been accumulated in the warehouse and cannot be sold.
When Zhang Yu was producing salt, he didn't control it, and kept producing it.
Now the sales places are limited, except for his own territory, which is Jingzhou and the grasslands. Although the amount is large, it is not enough to consume Zhang Yu's salt.
Therefore, Zhang Yu seems to have found a group of bullies who want to take over the goods that are under pressure in the warehouse, so that Zhang Yu's salt can be realized. The strongest system to dominate the Three Kingdoms
