Daming: Old Zhu, we agreed not to rush!

"That's good."

Su Jing nodded, but she was not worried that Zhu Ping would go down a wrong path because of this.

If it really comes down to making money, it would be too easy for Zhu Ping, the King of Qin, to do some big business.

After all, a vassal king like him has a fiefdom and can do too many monopoly businesses.

Methods such as creating demand and markets are troublesome and unstable.

Zhu Xi said: "Sir, is there any countermeasure to this method? If all the businessmen of the Ming Dynasty were like this, wouldn't the Ming Dynasty be in chaos?"

Zhu Xi is aware of the crisis. Just because he can't use it doesn't mean that others won't use it.

It's okay if there are only one or two. If there are more, it will definitely cause damage to a healthy market.

The deeper he became as a money-making merchant, the more Zhu Ping realized that a healthy and stable market was crucial to the entire country's economy.

"Naturally there is."

Su Jing said lightly.

Zhu Xi immediately raised his hands and said, "Please give me some advice, sir."

Su Jing smiled and said: "King Qin, in fact, this method of creating a market is extremely fragile. Without strong backing, it is simply not enough to maintain."

"For example, if the Yi ethnic minority costumes we are talking about are hyped on a small scale, the impact will only be on a small number of aristocratic circles, and the harm will not be great."

"But if it is to be expanded, for example, if this kind of comparison is spread directly to the homes of ordinary people, the harm will naturally expand, and it will also become very fragile."

"Let me tell you a story. After listening to it, you may have a deeper understanding of the nature of this operation."

As these students became more and more intelligent, Su Jing also found that the depth of her teaching needed to be deepened.

Some simple and obvious things are not suitable for teaching now.

Teaching was more difficult, but Su Jing felt even more happy.

A teacher is better than a master. This is what a teacher hopes to see most.

"Sir, please speak."

Zhu Ming poured a cup of tea for Su Jing, his face full of seriousness.

Su Jing took a sip, took a breath and said, "Okay, let me tell you slowly. The story I told happened on the other side of the distant ocean, where there is a country called the Netherlands, and everything happened in the Netherlands."

"Dutch shipping was developing continuously at that time, and then various ships went out to sea for long voyages. When they came back, they would naturally bring some plants from other countries."

"A flower that is native to a country called Turkey was introduced to the Netherlands. This flower has a nice name, called tulip."

"Tulips themselves have outstanding appearance and are deeply loved by the Dutch people, and this love gradually evolved into a fanatical pursuit. As time went by, people began to pursue the latest varieties of tulips, and some treasures were even sold for Unbelievably high price.”

"The price of tulips has been driven higher and higher, and countless people are vying for them. Even ordinary people are chasing them crazily."

"A single tulip can even be sold for the price of ten cows, and this is far from the highest price."

"But in fact, although cultivating new varieties of tulips requires some cost, they are not difficult to reproduce, and tulips themselves are not a difficult flower to grow."

"While the price of tulips in the market continues to increase, the quantity is also increasing crazily. Tulips themselves are no longer just beautiful flowers, but are commodities that are expected to increase in value. People believe that they have paid a high price to buy them. Tulips can be sold for a higher price just by waiting a little longer.”

"So, under this crazy pursuit, the price of tulips went up and up. The high price attracted more people to participate. The more people participated, the higher the price. It was like a cycle."

"Then……"

Su Jing suddenly stopped, looked at Zhu Jing and said, "King Qin, what do you think happened next?"

Zhu Fang listened carefully and immediately replied: "Sir, I'm afraid some people will not be able to support such an exaggerated pursuit of a flower."

"The continuous buying of tulips is not about the high value of the tulips themselves, but the merchants who buy them think that these tulips can be sold at a higher price."

"But this kind of market is not constant. There will always be adventurers who buy a large number of tulips and accumulate them in their hands. They want to sell them at a high price but can't find buyers for the time being."

"Once the funds cannot be withdrawn, in order to survive, I am afraid that the only way to survive is to reduce prices."

Su Jing smiled and nodded: "That's right! King Qin, you are right. In this crazy market, the first price cutter soon appeared. This was like a signal to remind other speculators that tulips The value itself is not high, so you can stop the loss by taking action as soon as possible.”

"So, a snowflake fell, and in a very short period of time, an avalanche formed. As fast as the tulip market rose, it collapsed."

"Tulips, which were originally worth as much as gold, became worthless overnight. Speculators who had no time to take action were immediately impoverished. Many businessmen who couldn't bear it chose to commit suicide."

"Everything is like a beautiful bubble. Before the bubble bursts, it was so beautiful. But when the bubble continues to expand and burst, all the people who joined it will also burst with the bubble."

"King Qin, this is the fate of speculators, because this is a bubble that will burst as soon as you poke it."

After Su Jing finished speaking, she drank a glass of water in one gulp.

Once you start speaking seriously, your throat will dry up very quickly.

Zhu Xi was stunned. Although he followed Su Jing's thoughts, he understood everything that happened.

But when he pulled away and looked at it as a bystander, he only felt terrified.

Just one flower can cause such horrific damage.

terrible!

It's so terrible!

Zhu Jing looked at Su Jing and felt extremely lucky.

Because the person who knows this and can do this is Su Jing, and Su Jing is his teacher and a person of good conduct.

Although Su Jing made it very clear, the bubble created in this way will eventually burst.

But Zhu Ping was also keenly aware that in this hype, even most speculators could not escape the end of bankruptcy.

But there must be someone who can make money!

To put it bluntly, this is a game of beating drums and passing flowers. As long as you don't let the flowers fall into your hands, it will be fine.

If something like this really happens, then Su Jing must be one of those who can make money.

"Sir, the students are amazed!"

Zhu Xi stood up and bowed respectfully to Su Jing.

Su Jing said calmly: "Don't rush to admire me. After listening, you can tell me what you can do to solve this kind of thing?"

This was the question Zhu Cang asked Su Jing before, but now it was Su Jing who asked Zhu Cang back.

Zhu Fang did not panic and immediately replied: "Students believe that directly controlling the prices of commodities is the best way. For these commodities that are obviously speculation, it is necessary to forcibly set a price ceiling to prevent such things from happening."

After all, he was the King of Qin and the son of Zhu Yuanzhang. If something like this happened, the court would directly come forward. Zhu Xi's idea was very consistent with his status.

Su Jing smiled and said: "This is indeed a method. I generally call it macro-control, which means that the government directly intervenes in the market."

"However, under normal circumstances, I do not recommend the use of macro-control for commodities that are not related to people's livelihood, such as food, salt and iron." ˆ ˆ ˆ "The healthy development of shopping malls still relies more on the market The self-regulating function of its own circulation.”

Although Su Jing did not completely agree with Zhu Ping's method, he did not feel that what Zhu Ping said was wrong.

In other words, Zhu Xi's current performance has completely exceeded his expectations.

"Please give me some advice, sir."

Zhu Chong bowed to Su Jing again and humbly asked for advice.

Su Jing said: "Hype is a method, and methods are like weapons. They can be used to invade, and they can also be used to protect."

"So, when faced with hype, we must first deal with the people behind it."

"Most of the hype usually takes advantage of poor information in the first step, or fabricates some sources of information."

"Therefore, strictly controlling the source and release of information is a very effective method."

"For example, the hype around tulips was actually controlled by someone behind the scenes. At that time, the Dutch church controlled a large amount of funds and personnel, constantly inciting and inflating the price of tulips."

"If the church's behavior was directly exposed from the beginning, other speculators would naturally understand clearly that this was just a scam."

"Then there is the self-regulation of the market, which relies more on the merchants themselves who participate in market operations."

"Then there are changes in the way of macro-control. Compared with direct methods such as direct price control, can we optimize the transaction process, set more reasonable transaction rules, strengthen market supervision, and nip all disharmonious and abnormal business behaviors in the bud? among.”

"Of course, this time there is still a long way to go for Daming. After all, Daming's business development has just begun."

"Perfecting these requires a little bit of trial and error. Only by making mistakes can you know how to avoid them."

As Su Jing talked eloquently, she couldn't help but think of the financial market in her previous life.

Compared to the tulip bubble, there are probably too many bubbles in the international financial market.

The form of economic activities is constantly changing, and there will always be people who take advantage of loopholes.

No one can directly plug all loopholes, because new loopholes appear all the time.

Relatively speaking, Ming Dynasty’s economic activities were still relatively rudimentary.

Some methods are simply not useful, so there is no need to go into detail.

Zhu Fang worked extremely hard to remember what Su Jing said, and he did not dare to forget it at all.

He knew very well that these methods and strategies could be directly used on Daming.

"Okay, that's almost it. It's getting late today, so let's stop here."

Su Jing glanced at the moonlight outside the window and said to Zhu Xi.

If he really wanted to continue talking, Su Jing still had a lot to say, but it was already relatively late when he came to Jinling Hotel. He had been talking about this for several hours, but it was really too late.

"The student was too absorbed in listening. Please forgive me, sir! The student will arrange a carriage to take you back."

Zhu Xi stood up immediately and made arrangements immediately.

Although he also wanted to continue to follow Su Jing's teachings here, it was indeed quite late.

Soon, the carriage arrived. Su Jing said goodbye to Zhu Ming and got on the carriage.

There are far fewer pedestrians on the streets now, and many stalls in the night market have been closed.

"Master, what time is it now?"

Su Jing asked the driver who was driving the car.

The driver immediately replied: "If I go back to you, I've just arrived at Zishi."

child time.

Su Jing silently calculated in her mind that midnight corresponds to the twenty-four-hour clock, which should be from 11 pm to 1 am, because one hour corresponds to two hours.

When I first arrived, it was early eleven o'clock.

In a previous life, in big cities, eleven o'clock was the time when nightlife just started.

But in Daming, at eleven o'clock, there were almost no people coming and going on the streets.

After all, the ancients still followed the schedule of sunrise and sunset. In this season, the sun will break before six o'clock in the morning. If you don't rest until eleven o'clock in the evening, you will most likely not be able to get up in the morning.

Su Jing opened the curtains of the car and took a look at the street outside.

Even the capital city is still deserted!

Because there were few people, the carriage moved very slowly. Su Jing arrived at the gate of Uncle Renyuan's residence in a short time.

After getting out of the car, Su Jing was about to go in, but she walked to the side out of nowhere.

That's right, it's the courtyard where Zhiyi lives.

Walking to the door, Su Jing was surprised to find that the courtyard door was open. Looking inside, there was a weak candlelight.

Su Jing walked in slowly. As soon as she reached the yard, she heard a stern voice from behind: "Who is it?"

Su Jing immediately turned around, and the person behind him was Tashi, with a fierce look on his face.

"It's me, Su Jing."

Su Jing explained, for fear of misunderstanding.

Zhaxi's expression became tense and he shouted: "Mr. Su, what do you want to do late at night?"

Before Su Jing could answer, the door had opened and Zhiyi came out.

"Su Jing, why are you here?"

Zhiyi still had needle and thread in her hand and said in surprise.

Obviously, although Zhiyi came back at this time, she was still rushing to work.

Su Jing said: "I just went home, passed by the courtyard gate, and found it open, so I walked in out of curiosity."

"Sorry, Zhiyi, I was too abrupt. I'll go back right away."

As Su Jing was about to leave, she came in directly without saying hello. Still at this late night, she was caught on the spot again.

Even Su Jing still looked a little confused.

Under the night, Tashi glared angrily, obviously not believing Su Jing's explanation, but Zhiyi had warned him before, and he didn't say anything.

Zhiyi said: "Since you have just come back, if you don't mind, come in and have a cup of hot tea before leaving." (End of Chapter)
