Chapter 477: Panicked Salt Merchant

"Buy, buy, buy. We will buy as much as Zhang Yu sells," Liu Shan said.

"I've run out of money, mortgage the real estate in the city and continue buying," Xu Ming said.

"Go get some money from other aristocratic families and continue to buy. I don't believe that Zhang Yu has endless salt."

"What are you afraid of? It's just that we have run out of cash. We still have a lot of land and real estate. We can borrow some from other aristocratic families. If not, we can mortgage the property to them."

"How could our family have no money? I still have a lot of money hidden in the cellar. Take them all out."

"Hey, that idiot Zhang Yu, you want to overwhelm us with this method, you underestimate us too much."

The six major salt merchants acted together, and the efficiency was quite high. They bought a large amount of salt within a few days, filling their own warehouses completely.

They did buy out Zhang Yu's store and some sales locations at one point.

However, they soon discovered that Zhang Yu and his merchants soon started selling salt again as much as they bought.

Several companies joined forces to buy a large amount of salt, and Zhang Yu had already transported several fleets there.

Of course, some of them cross the Yangtze River directly and are transported by land.

After a few days of frenzied acquisitions, several salt merchants were indeed frightened for a while.

Five days later, the subordinates reported that most of Zhang Yu's sales outlets had no salt to sell, and they closed directly.

There are indeed many places in Xuzhou like this. In less than two days, a large number of shops closed.

In just a few days, Zhang Yu sold tens of millions of salt.

Tens of millions will not hurt these rich salt merchants, or only use a small part of their property.

"Haha, I sent you to my door looking for death. No wonder anyone. I thought I would spend a long time with you, but I didn't expect you to accelerate your own demise." Zhang Yu was very happy when he received the news.

Selling tens of millions of salt, Qian Zhangyu can do a lot of things, and many stalled businesses can be started again.

For example, overseas development requires a lot of funds,

Zhang Yu also provided funds for some important causes.

Zhang Yu thought that it would take several months of fighting to bring down these salt merchants in Xuzhou, but now, they ate a lot of salt by themselves, and if the salt could not be sold by then, they would be useless.

If you want to sell it, you can only sell it at the same price as Zhang Yu, or sell it at a lower price.

No matter what the method is, it will not be sold in the short term, and there will be a large backlog, some of which are borrowed, and some are sold to sell their properties. No matter which method they are, they will be consumed out of thin air.

There is no income for several months, and a bunch of people have to be supported. Without Zhang Yu's other operations, they will all collapse by themselves.

Of course, none of this has anything to do with Zhang Yu.

Tao Qian was self-righteous, thinking that by signing the terms of trade agreement, tens of millions of dollars could be saved.

He didn't know yet that Zhang Yu had stolen hundreds of millions of dollars in Xuzhou in less than a month.

Why hundreds of millions?

Because in addition to table salt, Zhang Yu also sells many products in Xuzhou, such as dumping a lot of tea, fairy brew and other items.

However, most of these are sold to rich people. The market is not very big, but the profits are also considerable.

Salt is a necessity, and when it comes across good quality and low price, many people start looting it, which is very popular.

Tao Qian actually received the news, but he didn’t take it seriously at all. Zhang Yu was willing to sell salt at such a low price and let him sell it. This was beneficial to the people of Xuzhou. a good thing.

Several salt merchants were complacent, thinking that Zhang Yu would not be able to survive, after all, 70% of the shops were closed.

In fact, this is Zhang Yu and the others' lack of preparation.

The salt merchants were buying like crazy, and the people in Xuzhou were also buying like crazy. Although Zhang Yu and the others had made full preparations for such a large amount, it was still not enough.

But they were unhappy for two days, and on the third day, many stores reopened.

After Zhang Yu received the Xuzhou salt merchant's action, he began to transport a large amount of grain to Xuzhou, but it took time on the road, so many places were not so fast, so he had to choose to temporarily close.

But now the caravan is open again.

"What? Those stores are open again? What's the price?"

"It's still the price, Zhang Yu is going crazy to the end."

Several salt merchants became uneasy again and asked their subordinates to continue to buy salt, and then they mobilized all their connections to investigate. They wanted to know how much salt Zhang Yu had shipped to Xuzhou.

However, the news received was scattered, because Zhang Yu transported the salt from different channels and routes, whichever method was closer and more convenient.

If your own channels are not enough, use Mi's channels.

Many shops in Xuzhou were arranged in advance through Mi's house, otherwise Zhang Yu could not have arranged so many shops in a short period of time.

In fact, there are no shops in many places, and they are sold directly on the roadside.

I thought that their actions would make Zhang Yu unable to survive for a few days, and he would have to bow his head at that time, either raise the price, or get out of Xuzhou.

But it's been almost a month, and Zhang Yu's actions still haven't stopped.

And they ate too much salt, and the least of the six salt merchants took 50% of their family property.

The warehouses are squeezed so much that they even throw away their own low-quality salt, and the warehouses are freed up to put these salts.

Moreover, their own salt-making operations have also stopped.

What else is there to produce? There is no place to put the salt in the warehouse, so where can we continue to produce.

Without production, these workers have to survive. These salt merchants want to produce in the future, so they must give these workers the minimum guarantee.

The workers they support are not just a few hundred, but tens of thousands, or even tens of thousands.

Boiling water to get salt requires a large number of people to boil seawater, and a lot of people to chop firewood.

The huge daily consumption has made them unable to afford salt.

These people panicked again and got together again.

This time they were still in the whole tea house, but this time their expressions were not so relaxed, all of them had bad complexion and frowning.

It's no wonder that they ate so much salt, and the six families together spent more than 100 million yuan on it.

The key is that Zhang Yu was not intimidated by the drop.

Zhang Yu continued to sell salt at a low price.

"Everyone, we got news from several sources. Zhang Yu seems to have a steady stream of salt. If this continues, none of our families will survive." Finally, Yan Cheng said.

Liu Shan's complexion was even worse. This method was exactly what he proposed at the beginning. At the same time, he also ate the most salt and suppressed 80% of his family property.

Eighty percent of the family property, the key is that if Zhang Yu continues to sell salt in this way, he can only dispose of it at a low price. In addition to other consumption, it would be good to be able to recover 50% of the family property, and it may even be impossible to recover 50% of the property.

Now their Liu family is considering dismissing those workers. The strongest system to dominate the Three Kingdoms
