Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the coal market outside Fuchengmen, it is impossible to hide the comings and goings of large quantities, not to mention how conspicuous the large motorcade is, and there are also official presences such as the tax department boss and the Yaren.

    The news that Taisheng Coal Shop had obtained 80,000 kilograms of coal was known to all other major coal shops overnight.  This made everyone very strange. There was trouble in Xishan, and the only coal produced was eaten by them. They didn't know where the Taisheng Coal Shop received the coal.  After asking around, I found out that the Taisheng Coal Shop had changed owners, and the new owner had brought this batch of coal from the north.

    ¡°At this time in the coal market, small coal shops basically have no business left, and most of them are directly closed for the New Year.  The sixteen large coal shops other than Taisheng Coal Shop have accumulated a total of three to four million kilograms of coal in the past ten days, but they do not sell in large quantities. Each shop only sells a small amount every day to maintain the high market price.

    Although due to various reasons that are too complicated to explain and a certain eunuch that cannot be explained clearly, the major coal shops are collectively squeezing Taisheng Coal Shop in secret, but secret ostracism does not mean deliberate hostility.  It was really speechless that Taisheng Coal Shop, a former industry leader, could still obtain coal in this difficult situation.

    What¡¯s more, the new owner of Taisheng Coal Shop also has a very special identity. It is said that he is Li Qianxian, who once came to rectify the coal market.  It sounds touching and weird, so weird that everyone can't make up their mind, so they have to wait and see first.

    Some people laughed secretly in their hearts. When Li Qianxian took over Taisheng Coal Shop and tried to get so much coal, he probably wanted to take advantage of the market situation to make a huge profit.  In less than half a month, coal prices have risen to four times their previous levels. Who doesn¡¯t want to get involved?

    When he was still in office, he came to rectify the coal market. He was so righteous and upright. However, after losing his official position, he immediately changed his face and joined in the same trap as them, who were criticized as profiteers.  What an eye-opener.  What a shame.

    Early in the morning that day, Li You crawled out of the warm bed with great perseverance and hurriedly glanced at the newspaper while eating breakfast.

    It¡¯s nearing the end of the year.  Apart from quarrels and grand celebrations, other business in the imperial court has basically stagnated, and there is nothing interesting to read in the Di newspaper.  But something new today.  After the Lianghuai Salt Case was delayed for eight months, the final sentencing results of the "Yangzhou Trio" who were imprisoned by former Master Li and were sent to prison were announced.

    None of the three died. The former salt transport envoy Ding Ding was dismissed from office, his house was confiscated, and he was never transferred to another official. The former prefect Luo Xingye was dismissed from office, his house was confiscated, and he was exiled from the army. He was never transferred to the army. The former Fengyang governor Yang had a relatively minor crime and a high status.  If it is higher, the court will only punish him with dismissal after giving good treatment.

    Seeing the fate of the three of them, as if their names were far away, Li You sighed and put the newspaper aside.  Life always looks forward. Now he has other important things. These three people are in the past and not worth wasting too much time.

    We¡¯re going to start selling coal!  Li Daguan personally went to take charge of Taisheng Coal Shop today.  The shopkeepers, accountants, and various clerks all took their places, waiting for the boss's order.  Shopkeeper Gao stood in front of his boss and carefully reported today's preparations.

    "Has the news been released?" Li Dongjia asked.

    "Yesterday, we sent all the guys out. We went to several big temple fairs and New Year markets in the city to spread the news that our Taisheng Coal Shop will sell 40,000 kilograms of coal every day starting from today." Shopkeeper Gao replied.

    To be honest, shopkeeper Gao doesn¡¯t agree with the boss¡¯s decision.  In his opinion.  The safest way is to hoard coal and wait for the best opportunity like other peers. Anyway, with the support of bank accounts, there is no shortage of working capital.

    Another advantage of hoarding coal is that it can keep pace with others and avoid causing dissatisfaction among peers.  Otherwise, others only put out a token amount of 1,800 kilograms a day, while Taisheng Coal Shop releases tens of thousands of kilograms a day. Not only is it too unique, but it may also cause small and unpredictable interference to the market and arouse hostility among peers.

    But the boss didn¡¯t seem to care about this, and shopkeeper Gao couldn¡¯t help it.

    "Have the officers and soldiers invited from the Xicheng Military and Horse Division arrived?" Li Dongjia continued to ask.

    "It's already in place. I'll give you the price for ten days first." Shopkeeper Gao replied.

    Shopkeeper Gao also felt that it was a bit redundant that the boss hired officers and soldiers from the Military and Horse Division through personal relationships to maintain order, and he really didn't think it was necessary.  We are just selling coal, and we are not asking others to grab the coal.

    "Is the room ready?" Li Dongjia also asked.

    "Everything has been arranged." Shopkeeper Gao replied affirmatively.

    The owner requested to set up another room, separate from the coal yard. First, pay the money and get the ticket in the room, and then go to the coal yard to get the coal with the ticket.  Shopkeeper Gao still feels that this decision is unnecessary

    The employees of Taisheng Coal Shop, who had been idle for more than ten days, were gearing up for a big job. During the good year, a lot of people gradually gathered outside Taisheng Coal Shop, most of whom came to buy coal after hearing the news.

    As Li You discovered, people in the capital stockpile coal before the winter just based on their temporary financial situation.Are you going to cause trouble on purpose?

    Or is it that the current employer has something wrong with being an upright official, and at the same time is not convinced that he has lost his official position, so he must use this method to increase his sense of presence?  After much discussion, everyone felt that this last option was the most likely.

    Does he think he is still an official who wants to boost his popularity?  It doesn't matter if he goes crazy and loses money, but he can't disrupt the market, and he can't go against the great situation that the entire industry has worked so hard to create!

    The shopping mall has its rules and he is not allowed to mess around. Now he needs to be taught this rule!  And tell him that shopping malls are just as ruthless and ruthless. If he sells coal like this alone, he is doomed to be in vain and will not be able to reverse the general trend.
