Chapter 165 Floods and Beasts
What is the most important thing in doing business?
Very simple, two words, channel!

The so-called business is actually a process of material circulation.The reason why a certain treasure in later generations was able to build a super enterprise worth nearly one trillion yuan with a shopping website without a physical entity is because it provided a super trade channel.

Spices are expensive in the market, and they are often priceless, but they still belong to the category of luxury goods. Therefore, if you want to cash in the spices of these ten boats, you must have one who can swallow them. Down the super channel of so many spices and digest it.

Why did Chu Tianxiu spend so much effort to fabricate a lie, win over hundreds of gangs, and establish a money alliance.In addition to the manpower and material resources in these gangs, he also looked at the channels owned by these hundreds of gangs.

If there is no huge drainage channel like Qianmenmeng, then Chu Tianxiu's request is actually embarrassing, because even the Li family, Yuwen family, and Song family are not capable of swallowing such a large family. Many luxuries.

But precisely because of the existence of the super channel of Money League, Chu Tianxiu's request is just a test to see if Chu Qian has managed Yongdong for so long and has completely settled the channel of Money League, and can quickly transfer these Spices materialize.

The final result made Chu Tianxiu very satisfied.Three days, indeed it took only three days, Chu Qian, who was gritted his teeth, found enough buyers to sell these spices quickly, and resold more than half of these spices for 500 million shi grains, 15 shi Taels of gold, 500 million taels of silver, 50 pieces of cloth and silk, [-] pieces of silk brocade, [-] weapons, [-] horses, [-] cattle, [-] Goguryeo maidservants, and other miscellaneous bulk materials.

This price is indeed a discounted sale, and most of those materials are just a face price contract, and it takes several months before the food, gold, silver, and materials can be transported, but only with the speed and ability of this realization , is enough to make Chu Tianxiu sigh, there is a feeling that a small sapling raised by oneself has finally grown into a bright golden tree.

"Old Twelve, next, I have to let you do one thing! This matter is related to the life and death of my future great cause, so you must do it well. The speed can be slower, but the result must not be the same. "

There is a plan that has been in Chu Tianxiu's mind for a long time, but due to the immature timing and lack of suitable personnel, this plan has been stuck in his mind, but since Chu Qian has such a talent in business, , then you can leave this matter to him.

"I don't know if you remember that I taught you about 'futures'? If I asked you to set up a grain futures exchange, would you have confidence?"

"Master, you mean the kind of futures trading you imagined that can be used to buy short and sell short, and can be used to manipulate the world's grain prices? If I, Chu Qian, can participate in such a big event, then even if I am smashed to pieces in the future, I will be willing."

Chu Ren, Chu Yi, Chu Xin, Chu Qian and other fifteen brothers were almost all orphans raised by Chu Tianxiu. Due to the teaching conditions at that time and Chu Tianxiu's teaching experience, he taught these fifteen brothers. When I was a disciple, I really taught everything, and said whatever came to mind, regardless of whether they could learn it or not.

If Chu Ren, Chu Yi, Chu Xin and other brothers who love to learn martial arts were here, I am afraid that Chu Tianxiu has only scratched the surface and talked about it for two days. In fact, even he himself does not understand the economy well The course was left behind, but Chu Qian, who is extremely talented in economics, has actually been obsessed with it for a long time, and a sprout has already grown in his heart.

Therefore, when Chu Tianxiu brought up this matter, Chu Qian's professionalism and ambition were immediately aroused, and he spoke resolutely.

Since the disciple is ambitious, Chu Tianxiu will naturally not deny him this opportunity, and immediately said:

"Okay! Since you have the guts, let's do it! I will take half of the materials you exchanged for spices these days, including cash and food within a month, and the rest will be with you for the time being. I will give you money for the future."

……

The so-called futures are actually extremely common and terrifying financial instruments in later generations. They are completely different from spot goods. Spot goods are commodities that can be traded. A contract for a future price.

Roughly speaking, if the current price of grain on the market is [-] yuan a bucket, then after I buy [-] shi of grain futures and agree to deliver it in three months, then I sell it in three months. At the time of this futures, no matter whether the price of grain will rise or fall in the future, what I will get will be the [-] shi of grain.

On the face of it, this is a good thing.

In today's era, the impact on food prices is too great!Even if it is the Taiping Festival, there are droughts, floods, and insect plagues all the time, which makes the price of food in various places fluctuate constantly.Not to mention that it is now the chaotic times of the end of the Sui Dynasty, the consumption of grain and grass will inevitably increase sharply, and the price of grain can easily break through the sky, and the existence of futures can reduce the risk of this price increase.

In essence, futures is just a trading contract, a financial tool to reduce risks. Its most important function is to perform hedging, so as to achieve the purpose of reducing risks.

Therefore, there is no need to doubt that as long as this futures market is established, there will be a steady stream of businessmen coming here to make sales contracts, especially those sea merchants who are encouraged by Chu Tianxiu, will be addicted to it and use it as a tool to digest The wealth they plundered from the open sea.

But any financial tool, as long as it falls into the hands of "people".Then, under the trend of human greed, no matter how good the original intention is at first, his essence will be distorted and he will become a greedy and terrifying man-eating monster.

After the establishment of this futures market, the benefits derived from it can only be described in astronomical figures.Don't look at the gold hidden in Yang Gong's treasury, at least two to three hundred thousand taels.However, the future income of this futures market can be calculated by taking Yanggong's treasure house as a calculation unit.

Not only benefits, but the scariest thing about futures lies in their existence. It allows Chu Tianxiu to have a terrible tool that can artificially manipulate food prices, allowing him to directly use food prices as a weapon to attack those who he believes are "unhealthy". enemies of friendly forces.

If Chu Tianxiu's lie about Yang Gong's treasure house only opened a gap in Pandora's box, then his behavior this time completely opened Pandora's box, and put the "capital" The scourge was completely released.
