As all the merchants in Chang 'an City began to panic.
Everyone in Chang 'an City gradually felt a trace of pressure.
At this time.
In Chang 'an City, even the glass products that were usually worth more than ten taels of silver had their prices plummeted to the freezing point today.
Five taels of silver!
Such a shocking thing not only did not make the people feel excited, but they also felt a trace of fear.
In the Daxing Market of An Ding Fang, at this time, in the market full of goods, all the merchants personally went to the market. They shouted with red faces and thick necks, "Come, come, come, don't miss this! Top-grade silks are being sold at half price! "
"Quality guarantee, a benefit that can wait a thousand years for a moment!"
"Dear villagers! I am a merchant from Dashi Country. Because of some matters, all the silk products, all the silks, all the furs, all the tea leaves, and all the other goods are being sold at half price! Don't miss this opportunity! "
"All the goods were originally priced at one tael of silver, but now they are sold for one hundred copper coins! One hundred copper coins! Dear villagers, come and have a look! "
And in this regard, all the people were stunned.
"What the f * ck, what's going on?"
"Motherf * cker … Are these merchants in cahoots?"
"Damn it … Are we buying or not?"
"No … Wait a minute, I keep feeling that something is wrong!"
There were many onlookers, but there were only a few people who were willing to buy it!
It could even be said that everyone clutched their money bags tightly, afraid that the money bags they had just bulged would be directly taken away by these unscrupulous businessmen for some reason.
Somewhere.
An old man who heard the news from a village outside Chang 'an City drove a carriage, frowning as if he was patrolling. With his hands behind his back, he slowly selected the silk products that he once did not dare to look at.
Early in the morning, he heard that Chang 'an City was in chaos. All the merchants were selling their goods at half price, and there were even some who directly came to sell and give away at half price!
How could he let go of such a good thing?
Looking at the people in the village, those unmarried girls or young men who were half-grown, every day, they did not have the money to buy clothes to cover their bodies!
She couldn't even bear to buy linen clothes. Normally, only the rich could afford to wear these clothes, but now they were cheaper than linen clothes.
The old patriarch brought the smart young men of the clan to Chang 'an to try their luck.
If that was the case, then what harm was there in buying some?
The old patriarch paced back and forth in front of every silk stall and compared them with the linen clothing store. Then, he picked up a piece of silk cloth and asked in front of a dejected fat man, "Shopkeeper, how much is this cloth?"
The fatty was already in despair.
The trade route outside was blocked.
Moreover, it was someone that even the imperial family could not afford to offend. How could he not be worried?
Half a day had passed, but he hadn't sold a single foot of cloth …
It seemed as if he would lose everything he had invested in these materials. However, at this very moment, someone actually came to ask about it!
All of a sudden, the fatty was energized. Looking at all the pairs of 'shrewd' eyes staring at him, he rolled his eyes, patted his chest and roared, "Sir, you really have a good eye!"
"You've seen this cloth too. It's top-grade silk! You're my first customer today. How about this, if you like it, you can give me a price! On top of the price you gave, I'll give you another piece of cloth. How about that? "
This Hu merchant had a good eye!
Zhang Feng stood in the crowd and couldn't help but nod.
This kind of business was quite similar to the promotion model of the modern era.
Although it seemed like he was making a loss, once this news spread, it would be strange if he lost money!
As long as he could suppress the situation later, he wouldn't lose much from the five carts of silk cloth today!
Just as Zhang Feng was pondering what the fatty was going to do, the old patriarch narrowed his eyes.
The old man narrowed his eyes and tightly gripped the brown silk cloth in his hand. He asked, "Really?"
The fatty patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, sir! I'm a proper merchant, and a Hu at that. I'm in a hurry to return to Dashi, so I'll keep my word on these materials! "
"Really?"
"Little brother! Is what you said true? We only need to name a price for these pieces of cloth!? "
"Little brother, don't you think you're right?"
All the onlookers were aghast. They hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed a piece of cloth, shouting with red eyes.
The fatty wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Everyone, I'm sure you all know the price of these materials! However, because that unscrupulous Guan Long Corporation is wantonly suppressing us, we can't do anything about it. So, in order to not lose too much, we've lowered the price to the lowest!
"But don't worry! I've said before that these materials were originally worth more than a hundred taels! But now, they only cost ten taels! "
Hearing this, everyone was disappointed.
Even the old patriarch had a look of deep disappointment in his eyes at this moment.
The fat man's eyes swept across everyone's faces before he said, "Old man, this is my first time meeting you. You're my first customer! I'm a man of my word! Just name a price! We'll definitely give you these two bolts of cloth! "
"Really?"
"I'll keep my word!"
"Then …"
The old man stretched out three trembling fingers and said, "Fifty taels?"
