Zhao Ji's eyes flashed, suppressing the urge to laugh loudly.

Did these businessmen finally know that Dean Bai is powerful? Although the opportunity to make money is good, if someone is blinded, he must be the one who died the most. These guys in front of him are!

In the past, the method of operating the salt industry was very simple. It was to buy a large amount of salt from salt-producing countries such as Qiyan, and then use the transportation resources mastered by various trading companies to transport them to salt-deficient countries like Lao Qin, and sell them at a higher price. Although it is also a huge profit, it takes a lot of time and energy to spend a lot of money.

After Bai Dong and Xu Gong built these 68 salt trade bases, they were equivalent to opening a "salt trade network", which not only built a huge water and land transportation network, providing transportation and sales services to merchants from all walks of life, but also conducting transactions, allowing salt merchants from all walks of life to trade directly with their strongholds, and also supporting the purchase and sale between salt merchants from all walks of life. The salt trade base is like a third-party trading platform. Although it charges some "processing fees", it fully ensures the fairness, fairness and openness of the transaction.

For example, if Zhao Ju's trading company bought fine salt from Wei State, he could choose to send it to Bashu far southwest through the transportation network of the salt trade base. After arriving in Bashu, they could sell it themselves or entrust the stronghold to sell it on their own, and they could simply sacrifice some profit to sell the salt at the stronghold, and even trade it with local merchants in Bashu. Therefore, when the salt trade base just appeared, salt merchants around the world also felt like "the wolf is coming". Perhaps there was no such fashionable term in this era, but this is what it means.

However, they soon discovered the benefits. Although the salt trade base costs money for everything, it helps them solve transportation safety issues and the most worrying capital turnover problem; basically, as long as you buy fine salt from Wei, you will have profits. Although the appearance of salt industry bases has lowered their profit margins to a certain extent, it also reduces business risks and transportation risks. It is still very good to make money with peace of mind. In the past, I had a hard time transporting thousands of miles, although the profit was extremely high, but it was extremely risky. If you encounter bandits, bandits, or rioters, you will lose all your money! Bai Zi would not worry about this, let alone mere bandits, what about Deng Lingzi? Isn’t it just that I will destroy it? The bandits who dare to provoke Bai Zi in the world are afraid that they have not been born yet.

In fact, the same is true. In the six months since the construction of the Salt Trade Base, there has been no loss of goods. Whether it is self-contained goods or the entrusted goods from salt merchants, the places where they pass are calm. In fact, salt merchants from various countries do not know that there are still many strong people entrenched on the transportation network that Bai Dong chose, but other families have to grab goods. When they encounter the Bai family's convoy, they will most likely invite them to drink happily on the mountain. Moreover, after drinking too much, they will sing loudly. Since they hugged Bai Zi's thighs and sat on the mountain, they will have money to be collected. From then on, they will not walk the mountain roads, their waists will no longer hurt, their legs will no longer be sore, and their mood will be cheerful. This is the happiest thing in life.

Bai Dong was planning to open an escort agency. The simple and simple pre-Qin people of the later generations didn't understand. They only knew that they hired a large number of rangers to fight with these dragons and snakes in the ground. When they arrived at him, the bandits and river bandits on the lines got benefits, and they all became friends. These men who licked blood on the knife were really touched. The benefits were actually secondary. The key was that big men like Bai Zi were willing to look at us at the right moment and treat us as personalities. Do those noble men become successful? This is friendship!

The various benefits of the salt trade base soon supported an invisible salt market. So two months ago, salt traders were surprised to find that there was a daily salt price in the trading hall. The stronghold would appoint a special person to write the price of the day on the giant blackboard every day. At first, everyone could not understand why Bai Zi did such a stupid thing, but what happened next shocked them to their chins. From this day on, they could not only sell the real salt in their hands according to the salt price of the day, but even if they did not buy the fine salt from Wei, they could directly buy the salt trade base. After buying it, they could choose to sell it themselves to earn higher profits, or they could not propose real salt, but directly entrust the stronghold to conduct a re-trading, and do a trading activity similar to paper.

This trading method similar to later stocks is really too novel. Wei's fine salt is becoming more and more popular now. If you buy salt from Wei and then trade at the stronghold, although the profit is high, it is also relatively hard, and you may not be able to buy it. However, when you buy the left and right hand in the stronghold, it seems that the profit is lower, but the turnover is extremely fast. Although the salt price fluctuates, it is always rising slowly. If you hoard some early, in a month and a month, it will be a bigger profit! Salt merchants are crazy. Can you make money like this?

Just like the Huaxia, which opened the stock market for the first time in later generations, more and more people began to participate in this novel "salt stir-frying" activity, and the price of fine salt in Wei State was pushed to an unprecedented peak!

To let the water flood, you must first store water, so Bai Dong doesn't mind pushing the price of a handful of salt behind the scenes. Of course, he will ensure that the fine salt in every transaction has a physical product. This is the bottom line of doing business and the guarantee for the continuous increase in the price of salt in Wei.

Wei was very happy about this. After the people from the Siqing Department received this news, Wei Ying almost smiled and tilted his mouth. He wanted to invite Bai Dong and Xu Gong to drink. These two people were simply helping him. Anyway, the one who can sell a lot of salt is the Wei country. The higher the price, the better. In the end, the biggest benefit is not the Wei State?

In fact, it is not only the Wei State that benefits. The establishment of the salt industry market has also made the first market-oriented and transparent salt prices. In addition, the transportation and sales network built by Bai Dong and Xu Gong have been far from Zhao and Han, and far away from Chu, Yue and Bashu. Some non-salt-producing countries have obtained relatively stable supply of refined salt. With the large market built by Bai Dong, they no longer have to look at the faces of those salt-producing countries, and have been scraped off a few layers of oil. Once these "consumer countries" are controlled, salt-producing countries like Yan Qi and salt-producing and secondary deep processing-producing countries like Wei State will gradually be controlled by Bai Dong and Xu Gong; the large salt-producing market was not established entirely to attack Wei State, and this is also the "market model" that Bai Dong and Xu Gong have to set.

Even after the salt prices in Wei State collapsed, the large market model would continue; the ancients were not fools, and once they saw good things, they would hold on to them and refuse to let go. Moreover, Wei Ying and Pang Juan were not so stupid. Even if Wei State wanted to liquidate and retaliate, they would also seek greater benefits. The large market established by Bai Dong and Xu Gong could not bring them the merits of expanding territory, and there was no need to offend merchants all over the world because of this.

The establishment of the salt trade market made the world's merchants convinced Bai Dong even more. Bai Zi was probably more powerful than his teacher Guiguzi. I don't know how his head grew from envy to worship. Bai Dong has invisibly become a role model and role model for the world's merchants. Just like Fan Li and Lu Buwei, in the era of many countries, which country can't get along with such a giant merchant, that's the brain.

With the large salt market, Bai Dong can use a method of making a big move to control the salt price. These businessmen who have just entered the "stock market" have no sense of risk at all. They have been going well for two months. Everyone thinks that the price of salt should keep rising, and in fact, it is the case. Since they started to sautify salt, they have almost never lost money. Now everyone has Wei Guo fine salt in tens of thousands of stones. If listed for sale, they can make at least twice the profit.

It was the most ridiculous thing to expect the ancients to scientifically understand the supply and demand relationship between goods. The false prosperity of the salt industry market not only stimulated these salt merchants, but also stimulated salt-producing countries like Qi Yan, especially Wei. Wei Ying only knew that the more salt refined, the more money he could make, but he had no idea that under the secret promotion of someone, the sea salt that Yan and Qi had hoarded for ten years were bought by him one after another. If these sea salts were sold in Wei's refined salt, although they could not saturate the world's market, sooner or later, the salt price would plummet.

The time for Bai Dong to wait was finally here. Not only is the inventory of Qi State empty, but even the salt farm he and Xu Gong jointly built was almost bought by the people of Wei State. In the past half month, the amount of sea salt purchased by Wei State was twice as much as before! At the same time, the Wei State built a secret salt base, and half of the stores in Wei State's pass have changed their careers and become salt merchants. Well, Bai Dong can now determine that Senior Brother Pang Juan is a trustworthy friend. He really helped him to cheat the last capital of Wei State.

Wei Ying, can you die if you don’t commit suicide? So you can’t blame anyone if you die.

Almost in one day, there were large orders for 68 salt trade strongholds at the same time. It was a pity that it was just one day, and the price of fine salt in Wei State was 30% off! The salt merchants waiting in Wei State ran faster than when they came. When the salt prices were rising, if they could buy Wei salt, they could sell it to the salt trade stronghold. Although it was harder, it was profitable. But now the salt price plummeted, and I don’t know whether the "salt brand" stored in my hands could be sold. Who would still buy Wei salt stupidly? It was too late to cry.

Zhao Ju and others couldn't even cry. Zhao State is closest to Wei State, and these salt merchants are also the most fierce group of selling Wei salt. Now the salt price has suddenly plummeted, and even if they don't go bankrupt, they will be liquidated by their family. So when they heard the news of Zhao Ji's arrival, they came to visit immediately. They didn't resent Bai Zi much. The salt price has been soaring during this period. They have not had a chance to cash out for gloves and eighty times. Bai Zi even repeatedly reminded them through the managers of major strongholds that "the salt market is risky, so you should be cautious when entering the market." They didn't listen and missed the opportunity to cash out for profit in vain. Who can I blame now? They are just looking for Bai Zi with a glimmer of hope, hoping to reduce some losses.

"I have told you a long time ago that the salt market has huge profits and huge risks. It is because you are greedy and unwilling to leave. Now who will blame you? It is also because Wei Ying is desperately producing fine salt in order to make money, which has caused the market to be saturated and the salt price plummeted." Zhao Ji sighed, with infinite sympathy on her face.

"Manager Zhao is right, it's all the blame for Wei State, it's a scam to death!"

Li Ju and others cursed Wei Ying and then turned around and begged: "But since Manager Zhao is willing to see us, Bai Zi will definitely take action? We will know that Bai Zi is a giant merchant in the world and a famous scholar in the world. How could he not save him when he dies? Manager Zhao, don't swear everyone's appetite. What does Bai Zi mean? Please give me some advice."

Zhao Ji smiled and looked at everyone: "If you greedy and greedy people say, you won't save me! Let you die! But who made Bai Zi soft-hearted" (To be continued...)
