From mentioning AK47 to farming in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 63

This trip is really different from the past, in addition to the accompanying goods, there are also business personnel trained by personal guards.

There are also fifty soldiers who wear inner armor and cover up with outer clothes.

There is only one carriage in total, which was built by Zhao Tai's craftsmen. Except for the spices on the top, there are steel knives hidden underneath.

Although Zhang Jiao died, the Yellow Turban was basically suppressed.

But the world has become more chaotic instead, with fallen bandits everywhere.

Without enough personnel to escort, Zhao Tai was really worried that this batch of goods would not be able to enter Zhending City.

Originally, he planned to arrange a full team of 100 people to accompany him, but considering that too many people would frighten the Zhending government, he reduced it by half.

As the team moved forward, a banner with the words Tai'an written in red on a white background fluttered in the wind.

This is also the first time that the banner of Tai'an has traveled outside, and the original restaurant was just a small business.

There is still some fame in Zhending, and no one may take it seriously when it is out of Zhending.

Along the way, this caravan will definitely be watched by someone, but the small forces dare not provoke it, and the big ones are only the Black Mountain bandits from Chu Yan.

Since the battle between Zhao Tai's manor and Chu Yan some time ago, the reputation has spread far and wide.

When they knew that the caravan came out of Zhaozhuang, no one dared to change their minds.

Even if there is, they have to press it down, unless they want to die.

This is Zhao Tai's current influence, and it's not just blown out.

But there are exceptions, among those who are eyeing the caravan, there are people arranged by Chu Yan.

Even without Zhao Tai's knowledge, these people basically kept an eye on them every day.

But I can only stare at it, and report back when I find the situation, but I can't actually do anything.

The journey was uneventful until we reached the gate of Zhending City.

Under the influence of the banner of Tai'an, the soldiers at the city gate didn't even dare to stop them, and they didn't even open the mouth for the entry fee as if they had lost their memory.

Not only did they not receive city fees, but they also had to send the caravan in politely and with a smile.

For this place, there are not many who dare to underestimate the word Tai'an.

As the caravan entered the city and the goods arrived, next to the Tai'an restaurant, the shop that had already hung the plaque of the Tai'an firm but was not open today opened its doors.

They don't sell grain, oil and rice cloth, only spices.

But it was this news that was passed back by people sent by various families to follow.

All of a sudden, the number of people on the street decreased by more than one-fifth.

For such a scarce thing as spices, the so-called Tai'an Trading Company dropped a bomb as soon as it opened, so the families couldn't help but pay attention.

And the pricing is expensive too, but that's spice and no one thinks it's unreasonable.

If you want to buy spices, you have to exchange salt and rice cloth, and you will also accept money, but there is a [-]% premium.

One tael of spices and one stone of rice, so equivalent conversion.

Calculated according to the measurement unit of the Han Dynasty, one stone is 120 catties, but compared to later generations with the Han Dynasty unit, one stone is about [-] catties.

No matter how you calculate it, this is enough for a normal adult to eat for a month.

Then, based on the current three hundred yuan for one bucket of rice, ten buckets of rice for one stone, that is three thousand yuan, which is three times.

Zhao Tai set the price at one, two, or three thousand dollars, and if he bought it with money, he would pay a premium of [-]%, which would be the same as grabbing someone else.

However, Zhao Tai knew that the price he set was even a little lower, but he had no intention of raising it to the same level as the market price.

After all, mass shipments cannot be compared with others' small shipments.

Others want to sell but can't sell it, Zhao Tai will sell as much as you buy, and it doesn't matter if you sell more to make a profit.

And with a lower price, it can also squeeze out other peers, and you can never get a foothold where I am.

Monopoly is terrible, but who can let others not control him.

If someone lowers the price even if they are not afraid of death, Zhao Tai can use the price war to drag the other party to death, and the Mi family, Zhen family, and Lu family can't even hope to get a bargain.

You can come and fight with me anyway, no matter how you fight, I will never lose.

The price of spices in Tai'an Trading Company is "friendly to the people", and the whole Zhending is like a cat that smells, and it didn't take long to buy out the spices in the trading company.

There are even some people who buy low and sell high.

But on the second day, these people's thoughts changed again, because Zhao Tai pulled more spices over.

Buying low and selling high won't work anymore. You can only buy it and ship it to another place to make a fortune.

The commercial firms are constantly replenishing the goods, and the families are constantly eating in, and then pull them to other places for dumping like a goddess scattering flowers.

And when they buy spices from Zhao Tai, most of them use money instead of rice cloth.

"They even regarded my firm as a wholesaler."

Zhao Tai looked at several large carriages of spices coming out of the village, and smiled playfully.

Maybe others would not only regard him as a wholesaler, but also as a fool.

Because doing this is equivalent to giving them money, no matter how much you scold in your heart, you will be as happy as you are on your face.

Logically speaking, this kind of business is definitely feasible. You don't have to worry about shipping, getting money, and other things.

But don't forget, Zhao Tai doesn't just make money for the sake of making money, he also uses the firm to do other things.

"Come here, please pass this letter to President Zheng Zheng."

"Here."

It's not impossible to squeeze the wool, but they must not be allowed to go on like this.

That is, when Zheng Chen received the letter, the rules of the firm changed.

Spices can no longer be bought with money, and they can only be exchanged for rice, cloth, and salt.

Even so, there is still an endless stream of people who come to buy every day, and the enthusiasm has not dropped at all, because although the conditions have changed, the price has not changed.

It doesn't matter if they don't want to be enthusiastic.

That is to say, from this time on, it seems to have become the norm for Zhao Tai to pull spices from the manor to Zhending, and then to all parties rushing to buy them up.

Not only that, Zhao Tai asked the firm to transport [-]% more spices every time, and then add another [-]% on this basis, and so on.

No matter how much the quantity increases, those who have tasted the sweetness will always eat it without any scruples.

They even proposed to go directly to Zhao Tai's manor to get the spices, because they thought it would take too much time.

Why did Zhao Tai not agree to such a good thing? Buying low and selling high has no effect on Tai'an Trading Company.

It can also save a lot of manpower and material resources, why not do it.

"At first, I wanted to trick you, but now it seems that I forget it. In business, of course everyone can earn money together."

It's true that shopping malls are like battlefields, but in business, you don't have to fight to the death. As long as there is interest, there is no need to kill anyone.

As long as Zhao Tai is always the banker, there is no possibility of falling down.

Furthermore, as long as the credit and reputation are publicized, whether they are family members or businessmen, they will become Zhao Tai's hidden labor force.

It's not nice to call it exploitation, it's called mutual benefit.

With the output of spices, Zhao Tai has never sent food to this world.

The winter wheat planted outside the manor was basically declared scrapped, and now it has changed to a market-like existence.

And during the period when these people are dumping outside and need to pay back their capital to earn profits.

In addition to Zhending City, Zhao Tai began to establish branches in other cities in Changshan County.

He wants to empty out the grain and cloth reserves of Changshan County. This time he not only needs supplies, but also people.

The current power is too small, and it is time to grow stronger.
