There are many people who think that the prime minister is crazy.
Prior to this, the prime minister ordered people to melt all the money in the national treasury and mint all of it into Zhibai Wuzhu notes. This incident had already shaken the foundation of Shu Han.
If the credibility of the Baiwuzhu currency were to collapse, the entire Shu Han would face an unprecedented economic crisis.
Therefore, there were many people who advised the prime minister not to do so. Many people even risked their lives to persuade him and explained to him the seriousness of the matter.
If there is no buyer to take over the large-scale production of Zhibai Wuzhu coins, the entire Zhibai Wuzhu market in Shu Han will completely collapse.
A simple example is, when you wake up and find that a steamed bun costs five hundred thousand, what would you feel?
Perhaps the economy of Shu Han had not yet collapsed to that extent, but inflation was inevitable due to the large-scale minting of Zhi Bai Wu Zhu coins.
Suddenly, the net worth of all the people will shrink several times or even dozens of times - they have done nothing, but have to bear such consequences, what will they think?
The reason why Shu Han has been able to persist until now is because of the unity of the people. If it loses the support of the people, Shu Han will not be far from destruction.
The truth is so simple, why doesn’t the prime minister understand it?
However, the prime minister still insisted on his own way.
The prime minister holds great power and no one can stop him.
All the ministers could only grit their teeth and wait for the storm to come.
And now, when they heard that the Prime Minister was going to raise the price of Shu brocade, everyone went crazy again.
Either the Prime Minister is crazy or they are crazy. The reputation of Shu brocade has been hard-earned, but with this price increase, isn't it just making things difficult for others?
If you raise the price of something that cannot be sold, will it be sold?
What's the reason for this?
According to common sense, if the product cannot be sold, the price should be further lowered!
However, such illogical and inhumane behaviors sometimes work.
Facing the doubts of the court officials, Su Che just smiled faintly and said: "The Shu brocade we are going to sell next is not an ordinary Shu brocade, but a Shu brocade with collection value. They have unique digital numbers, and each one is unique in the world."
"It is this difference that makes them extra valuable and warrants a price increase."
When these words were spoken, the ministers looked at each other in confusion, still unable to understand.
Jiang Wan asked curiously, "Apart from the numerical number, are there any other differences?"
"No more." Su Che shook his head.
Jiang Wan: “…”
courtier:"……"
Apart from this gimmick, there is no difference. So how is this different from before? Why dare to raise the price?
If you want others to buy into your ideas, you can’t do it by resorting to such fancy tactics!
The ministers could not understand it, and Liu Adou above them was even more confused.
But he still said with a smile: "Since you are sure, then go ahead and do it. I believe you can do it."
Liu Chan, who had nothing to do with the affairs of the state, chose to trust his father-in-law unconditionally, otherwise he would be scolded again, which was not worth it.
Hearing this, the court officials were even more desperate. The prime minister started to act recklessly, and no one could stop him. Your Majesty, you didn't care. This was not okay! Your Majesty, you are the only one who can have a say!
Liu Chan sat in his chair calmly. He actually roughly understood what the court officials were thinking, but the question was - why did they think they could stop the prime minister?
He didn't think that the prime minister would listen to him.
Seeing that the court officials still couldn't understand, Su Che was too lazy to say anything more. He waved his hand and said, "I have made up my mind on this matter. There is no need to discuss it. I am not saying this to let you discuss it, but to inform you. I need your cooperation."
With Zhuge Liang's previous prestige and his autocratic power, Su Che was able to do many things very easily without much hindrance. Although the ministers were dissatisfied in words, they all obeyed him.
The price of Shu brocade was raised.
They announced that this was a limited edition Shu brocade with a unique number and collectible value, so the price would be higher than usual, and if you missed it, you would miss it forever.
However, just as the ministers had expected, no one was interested in either the market in Eastern Wu or the market in Wei, and not many people bought.
The ordinary Shu brocade is enough. This limited edition Shu brocade looks no different from the previous one except for the strange string of numbers!
That’s it, and the price is still increasing?
But this is too much!
certainly.
There were also some speculators who realized that this might be an opportunity, so they selectively purchased some Shu brocades that were more pronounceable and more special with numerical numbers.
In their opinion, if these numbered Shu brocades become popular in the future, the prices of these Shu brocades with better-sounding numbers will definitely increase.
Even if the price doesn't increase, it's no big deal to spend a little more money . Just consider it as a failed investment.
Anyway, Shu brocade is a good thing. Whether you make clothes for yourself or give it to others, it will make you look good.
This is hard currency, so you don’t have to worry about losing it anyway!
but.
After all, there are only a few people who have such insights.
Most people are not interested in this specially numbered Shu brocade, and think it is just a waste of money.
As expected.
A few days later.
The large quantity of Shu brocade whose price had increased was not sold and was still piled up like a mountain.
On the contrary, a lot of normal Shu brocade was sold.
This made the wealthy families in Wu and Wei shake their heads. No one really wanted to buy this thing.
Anyone who buys it is a fool!
I don't know what Shu Han is up to. They are being clever and releasing a limited edition so that people can buy it first? It's too good to be true! I don't know who came up with this! They must have a problem with their brains!
The capital of Wei State.
A retainer of the Xiahou family pointed to the piles of Shu brocade in the shop and asked, "Has the price of this batch of relatively expensive Shu brocade been reduced?"
In the eyes of the Xiahou family's retainers, no one will buy if the price is too high, so in order to sell it, they must lower the price!
The clerk in the shop was stunned when he heard this, then shook his head and said, "No, this batch of Shu brocade has not been reduced in price!"
"Who will buy it if the price is not lowered?" The Xiahou family's retainers were a little disgusted, thinking that the people in these businesses were simply crazy about money.
"You know what, not only will the price not go down, it will go up in a few days. If you want to buy it, you'd better buy it as soon as possible." The people from the business laughed and were not worried about not being able to sell it.
The reason is very simple. The people in Shu said that if the goods cannot be sold, they will continue to raise the price. If they still cannot be sold , they will be sent back and they will take full payment and also pay for the travel expenses.
With business having grown to this point and so many years of reputation, the people in these businesses are not worried about not being able to sell their products.
"Ah?" After hearing this, the Xiahou family's retainer shook his head speechlessly, "The price is still rising? This is crazy! No one will buy it!"
After saying that, he turned and left without even thinking about it.
at the same time.
Shu Kingdom.
As this batch of numbered Shu brocades were almost completely unsaleable, some merchants were already preparing to send them back from afar for returns, for fear that Shu Han would regret it and they would suffer a loss if they could not return them.
When the news came back, almost everyone in Shu Han was pessimistic about the prime minister's decision.
Because of the previous autocratic rule, there were endless complaints for a while.
Even if they don't dare to oppose openly, they still dare to be sarcastic in secret.
Raise the price if the product cannot be sold? Only a ghost can decide to succeed! That is a ghost!
When Jiang Wan handed the news to Su Che, his face was filled with worry. He could almost foresee the dire economic situation of Shu Han in the future.
However, when Su Che saw the news about the unsold products, he just smiled and said, "Those merchants who want to return the products don't need to send them to Shu. This is really too troublesome. Let us directly purchase them from the merchants in Wei and Wu."
"We won't let them lose money. We Han people still have this credibility."
Hearing this, Jiang Wan asked with some concern: "But if everyone does this, we will lose a lot of money, even if the settlement is 100-5 baht..."
"Don't be anxious." Su Che slowly waved his white feather fan and said calmly, "Let... the crossbow arrow fly for a while."
"Ah?" Jiang Wan didn't understand what he said for a moment.
What does it mean to let the crossbow arrow fly for a while?
After thinking about it more carefully, he vaguely understood something. What the Prime Minister meant was that he should wait and see. Some changes might happen later?
…
In the blink of an eye, a few more days passed.
According to the agreement, the prices of those Shu brocades that were said to be unique increased a bit.
This batch of strange Shu brocades obviously could not be sold, but the price kept rising instead of falling. Although no one bought them, it attracted a lot of attention.
There are quite a few people discussing this.
Whether in Wu or Wei, many wealthy businessmen and aristocratic families were discussing these strange Shu brocades, and everyone treated them as jokes.
These are Shu brocades that cannot be sold. Will they be sold if the price is raised again? We are not fools!
But don’t be fooled, there are indeed fools, and there are quite a few of them.
As the price of this batch of Shu brocade increased again and the popularity continued to rise, more and more people tried to buy one or two pieces, thinking that this rare commodity could be valuable and perhaps there was room for further appreciation.
It was at this time...
The essence of this piece of Shu brocade changed quietly.
After buying the Shu brocade, these people did not publicize it. After all, they would definitely be laughed at if they did such a disadvantageous thing.
However, their friends who came to visit still discovered this and almost laughed out loud: "Hahaha, you actually fell for this?"
"That group of treacherous Shu people put a number on this Shu brocade, and you think this Shu brocade is extraordinary and worth buying?"
"Hahahaha, you are usually very smart, how could you make such a stupid mistake?"
"You see, in a few days, when no one buys these special Shu brocades, they will probably go back to their original prices!"
"By then, all the extra money you spent will be gone!"
"Just wait!"
But soon.
Some people appeared in the market who were buying Shu brocade with numbers that were easy to pronounce.
Their purchase price is about 10% to 20% higher than the market price!
This undoubtedly instantly caused more discussion.
Someone sold the Shu brocade and instantly made a profit of 10% to 20%.
Some people, after seeing someone buying it, realized that the price of Shu brocade might continue to rise, so they were not in a hurry to sell it. Anyway, they didn't spend much money, so this little investment was nothing and it was worth continuing to gamble.
As for the person who sold the Shu brocade, he would naturally feel extremely proud at the first moment.
They began to spread the news everywhere to show off their own vision and to mock those who had previously laughed at them.
What did you say at that time? You said that I was smart all my life but stupid for a moment, and I actually fell for such a stupid trick?
Now please take a look again, has it returned to its original price? Have you lost all your money?
It's only been a few days, and the money was made by buying and selling it. Can you still laugh?
My vision was right. Although other Shu brocades with general numerical numbers are of little value, those with nice-sounding numbers are indeed worth collecting!
Isn't this a profit?
Those who made profits through buying and selling began to actively publicize their stories of getting rich. They made money by buying and selling, and this feeling was simply too good to be true!
However, although they were happy, this happiness did not last long.
Because soon, they discovered that the price of the Shu brocade they sold had increased by 50% to 60% in just a few days!
Compared with the current price increase, the 10% or 20% they earn is nothing at all.
Looking at it this way, it was sold too early and too quickly!
This is such a loss!
Those who sold too early regretted it so much that their intestines turned green.
If I had sold it two days later, I could have made more money!
The greatest pain in the world is worrying about gains and losses.
The price increase of Shu brocade undoubtedly touched the hearts of these people.
As prices continue to rise.
The price of Shu brocade has increased and its popularity has once again reached an unprecedented height.
After the previous warm-up , there are now even more people discussing it.
More and more people realized that this was a money-making opportunity and continued to follow suit and invest in it. As more and more people joined in, the prices of these numbered Shu brocades also began to rise.
In both Wu and Wei, whether it was the officials in power, the wealthy businessmen, the noble families with a scholarly background, or the ordinary people on the streets, they were all discussing the Shu brocades with special numbers during this period.
The price of these Shu brocades has increased so quickly! Too weird!
Many people made a lot of money by reselling Shu brocade.
The price of this batch of Shu brocade, which is said to have unique numbers, is several times higher than the original price!
Someone gave this batch of numbered Shu brocade a nickname, which began to spread widely. The name was -
Imperial brocade!
The price of Huangjin is getting higher and higher.
The prices of second-hand goods are rising, and the prices of first-hand goods are also rising!
At this time, both Sun Quan and Cao Rui had heard of this strange Shu brocade.
Since the Shu brocade was marked with special numbers, it was said to be unique and different, and its price was not exaggerated at the beginning.
But over time, the prices have gradually become abnormal. The prices of some particularly rare digital numbers are already more than ten times higher than before, which is truly shocking!
Both the Wei and Wu leaders realized that this matter was not simple!
They must mobilize the country's big hand to regulate or even forcibly stop it! !
In a word, how can it be so easy to commit financial scams in other countries?
There are many smart people in this world.
Even in ancient times, it was not so easy to commit financial scams.
When the popularity of this batch of imperial brocade gradually increased, it directly attracted the attention of Sun Quan and Cao Rui.
They invited some smart people to explain to them the pros and cons. If they continued to allow the price of Shu brocade to rise, big problems might arise. In the end, someone would definitely suffer.
By then, the ones who will make money will be those cunning Shu people!
How could this situation be allowed to happen?
They must stop it and force regulation!
However……
At this time.
Su Che contacted the emperors of Wu and Wei.
At the beginning of the letter.
Su Che greeted Comrade Cao Rui and Comrade Sun Quan, and mainly announced one thing to them.
That is: he had also heard about the Shu brocade, but the price increase issue had nothing to do with the Shu Kingdom.
The price of these specially numbered Shu brocades only increased slightly at the beginning. As a commemorative version, they had no other meaning.
Who would have thought it would be so popular? Merchants raised prices privately to gain extra profits, which had nothing to do with Shu.
Su Che said innocently that after these goods were shipped, they had nothing to do with Shu Kingdom. Even if the merchants sold them at a higher price, Shu Kingdom would not be able to get any extra profits!
It's all these damn businessmen and those who are pursuing profits who have raised the prices!
The beneficiaries are them, not Shu!
He also deeply detests such shameful behavior!
but……
Since the prices of these numbered Shu brocades are so high and will probably continue to rise in the future, it means that this is a market-following behavior that cannot be stopped in a short time.
That being the case.
In order to show its sincerity, the Shu Kingdom was willing to sell those uniquely numbered Shu brocades to the Wu Kingdom and the Wei Kingdom at the original price.
Let Wu and Wei be the ultimate beneficiaries!
In this way, no matter how high the price rises, the ultimate beneficiaries will still be the Wu and Wei states, not the Shu Han!
The core of these words is: Instead of letting those merchants make money, why don’t Wu and Wei make money themselves?
After seeing the content of this letter.
There is no doubt that both Cao Rui and Sun Quan were tempted.
Because they realized that this was an absolutely great opportunity to make money.
However, they were not in a hurry to buy, but first investigated the prices of the numbered Shu brocade, also known as imperial brocade, currently on the market and whether there was a shortage of supply.
It would be fine if you didn't check, but once you did, you'd be shocked to find that almost all the imperial brocades in the shops on the market were sold out, and the prices of some imperial brocades with nice numbers had increased by more than ten times, or even dozens of times.
Once a new imperial brocade comes on the market, it will be snapped up immediately.
The merchants in those shops all understood the principle of rare goods being valuable, and they slowly sold the royal brocade in batches, making a fortune each and every time!
After seeing this situation, and realizing that the price Shu Kingdom gave them for these imperial brocades was so low, both Cao Rui and Sun Quan, whose originally strong attitudes had completely changed, immediately changed their expressions.
It's about making money, not shameful!
The capital of Shu Han.
Su Che waved his feather fan, his expression calm. Jiang Wan beside him said with admiration: "Prime Minister, this is a brilliant idea. I didn't expect that after the price increase, it would attract competition from Wei and Wu, making these Shu brocades in short supply. Even with the price increase, people are still scrambling to buy them!"
When Su Che proposed the strategy of raising prices to reduce inventory, everyone thought the prime minister was crazy.
When this batch of Shu brocade was unsalable, many merchants began to return the goods, and there were more complaints.
At that time, no one could understand what the prime minister wanted to do.
However, facing the countless doubts, the Prime Minister just said calmly:
Let the crossbows fly for a while!
As expected.
Only half a month.
Whether it was the State of Wu or the State of Wei, the news that came one after another left the officials dumbfounded.
After the price increase, the popularity of Shu Brocade directly rose by several levels. The subsequent successive price increases even pushed Shu Brocade to an outrageous price. But even so, it is still in short supply!
Some Shu brocades with catchy numbers were copied to an unprecedented extent!
Even the emperors of Wei and Wu came to Shu in person to buy cheap Shu brocade and then sold it at a high price!
Crazy, all crazy!
Crazy Shu brocade, crazy world.
Faced with this situation, the ministers could only sigh, "As expected of the Prime Minister, he is so good at predicting things! With just a few tricks, he can control the situation!"
After hearing the news, Liu Adou was even more disdainful. How could these people still doubt the prime minister? How stupid! Even I know that it is absolutely right to listen to the prime minister!
With the intervention of Wu and Wei, all the Shu brocade in stock was bought out even though the price had increased.
Although Shu Han made a huge profit from this, when those Shu brocades were taken back, there was no doubt that Wei and Wu would make more money!
This point made Jiang Wan and others a little confused.
The prime minister worked hard to set up this situation, so why did Wu and Wei benefit the most in the end?
Although Shu Kingdom also made money, it was hard-earned money and was not as much as others!
I always feel a little unwilling!
Jiang Wan therefore found Su Che and told him about this matter.
Su Che glanced at him and said with a smile: "My purpose has never been to make money. I set up this game to create a new market."
Jiang Wan still didn't understand, so he lowered his head and said, "I am a stupid student, and I don't quite understand. Please explain it to me, Prime Minister."
Su Che glanced at him and said calmly, "We have 50 billion Zhibai Wuzhu in our treasury. No matter where we invest this money, it will cause a huge shock. No one will let us do this."
"In this case, we must first create a market with corresponding value, and then invest this money into it, and then quietly earn it back and obtain materials and goods of corresponding value. This is the purpose of my setting up this game!!"
"I never intended to make money from those Shu brocades from the beginning. This is a relatively low-level method, because if you want to make money from others, if you make a lot, others will definitely be jealous."
"In that case, why not make money with others and distribute the profits to others, such as the emperor of Wu, the emperor of Wei, and the aristocratic families in their territories."
"Let them make money first, so we can spend the 100-yuan and 5-yuan notes in our hands and exchange them for more supplies."
Su Che had already analyzed the entire process and the essence of the matter in detail and told it to Jiang Wan.
But these shocking information were still a bit complicated for Jiang Wan. He frowned, feeling that he understood it, but also seemed that he didn't understand it!
He frowned and said, "In this case, we win, and so do those noble families, the emperor of Wu and the emperor of Wei. Then who loses?"
Jiang Wan calculated the costs one by one: "We will definitely not compensate. The emperor and those aristocratic families will basically not compensate either. The price they paid for the goods is too low. Unless they are completely crazy and keep raising the price, they will most likely lose money in the end..."
“The person who lost money is the last one to leave?”
Jiang Wan looked at Su Che and asked, "Is that so?"
"That's about right." Su Che nodded.
This was a gambling game, a gambling game to reap the benefits. Su Che, as the person who set up the game, did not get involved. He only provided the weights (Zhi Bai Wu Zhu) and cards (Shu Brocade), and then withdrew from the game, leaving this extremely exciting game to the people of Dongwu and Wei.
With the fate of Sun Quan, the Emperor of Eastern Wu, Cao Rui, the Emperor of Wei, and the aristocratic families in the two places, the Huangjin market, which had calmed down a little after the frenzy, undoubtedly became even crazier.
As the price continued to rise, it even attracted the noble families of Shu State to run to Dongwu and Wei State to join in this gambling game.
At the same time, the fate of Su Che's 50 billion Zhibai Wuzhu coins added fuel to the fire of this imperial brocade transaction!
In just one month, the prices of all numbered Shu brocades skyrocketed, and the prices of those with special numbers increased nearly a hundred times!
The price was directly driven up to a terrifyingly high price!
You know, Shu brocade has never been a cheap thing. The lowest price for a piece of top-quality Shu brocade is 20,000 coins.
The initial price of the numbered Shu brocade was 22,000 coins, which was much more expensive, so no one bought it at first.
Everyone thinks that people who buy these numbered Shu brocades are fools and only crazy people would buy them.
But after a few days, even though they couldn't be sold, the price of these Shu brocades went up instead of down, reaching 23,000 coins! Soon it reached 24,000 coins!
This simply stunned people, and also made this batch of numbered Shu brocade gain a lot of popularity and gimmicks.
This period.
There was a relative of the Cao clan named Cao Yuan.
He keenly realized that this might be an opportunity, so he bought a Shu brocade numbered 1000 for 24,000 coins.
Because of this, Cao Yuan was scolded by his wife. Mrs. Li accused him of being a spendthrift. He actually spent an extra 4,000 yuan. He was really stupid! Take it back and return it quickly!
The lady’s insults almost drove Cao Yuan, a grown man, into autism.
Is this Shu brocade really worthless?
He didn't believe it and he refused to back down!
Because of this incident, the couple almost got into a fight!
Soon, the price of this Shu brocade numbered 1000 rose to 30,000 coins in a short period of time!
This completely stunned Li. How could it still go up?
Cao Yuan even boasted: "Have you lost your vision of seeing me?"
Seeing that there was profit to be made, Li immediately asked Cao Yuan to sell the Shu brocade and stop at nothing when he got the bargain!
But Cao Yuan realized that this matter was not that simple, so he did not sell it!
soon.
As the price continued to rise, the price of this piece of Shu brocade numbered 1000 directly increased to 60,000 coins.
As the market gradually heated up, speculators flocked in, and this piece of Shu brocade numbered 1000 was directly given special significance.
No one knows what's so special about the number one thousand, or how it differs from other numbers. But its value keeps rising, and even fluctuated dramatically at one point, which scared Cao Yuan so much that his heart was a little upset.
A few days ago, the highest point was 110,000 coins.
After that, it plummeted to 55,000 coins. Such a rise and fall made Cao Yuan and Li feel unbearable.
This is so exciting!
At this time, Cao Yuan's wife Li began to scold Cao Yuan again. He didn't sell it when it was 110,000 coins, and now it's only 55,000 coins. He lost so much money! ! These are all money!
At this time, Cao Yuan smiled and said to his wife Li: "I have received inside information. The price will rise again soon! Not only can we not sell it, but we should continue to buy those Shu brocades with lower prices!"
Li asked cautiously, "What is the inside information?"
Cao Yuan pointed upwards and said, "Your Majesty has already bought a lot of Shu brocade from the Shu Kingdom. Your Majesty, many aristocratic families are about to go out of business. Do you think the price of these serial numbers of Shu brocade will continue to fall?"
As expected, with the death of the emperor, all the aristocratic families followed suit, and the price began to rise wildly again. Within just one day, it broke through 150,000 coins!
This terrifying increase is just the beginning.
With the entry of major families and the inflow of Su Che's 50 billion coins, Cao Yuan's Shu brocade numbered 1000 directly increased to 1.2 million coins!
This terrifying number made Cao Yuan's eyes turn red. He never thought that his piece of Shu brocade numbered 1000 could actually increase in value to such a terrifying number. In addition, the prices of those numbered Shu brocades he purchased also increased, and without exception, he made a profit on all of them.
I make too much money, I am so tired!
This money came too easily. Even a member of the Cao family like him was shocked by such a terrifying number and his eyes turned red.
This horrific profit attracted more and more speculators, although many people doubted whether the price of this serial numbered Shu brocade was too high, which had completely deviated from the regular price at the beginning.
It is understandable that the price has gone up, but it is too risky to go up so much.
But these rational voices were undoubtedly drowned out by the countless crazy voices of "rise, rise, rise". More and more people joined in, and countless people with some assets were dreaming of making a fortune!
Under the influence of that terrifying increase, even some people who dreamed of getting rich began to borrow money desperately to buy Imperial Brocade. In their opinion, their chance to get rich was at this moment!
An unprecedented frenzy occurred in the two countries of Wu and Wei. The unparalleled fanatical voices even reached Shu, and many people of Shu talked about it with relish.
As the saying goes, those who are involved are often confused, while those who are not involved can see things clearly. Although some people in Shu Han thought this was a good opportunity to make a fortune, more people thought that this matter was too strange!
However, whether it is strange or not is not important.
What’s important is that the 50 billion Zhibai Wuzhu coins that Su Che had smelted have been quietly integrated into the markets of the two countries. Because the increase was so crazy, he even made a little more money.
Such a huge amount of money was transformed into countless supplies and was continuously imported into the Kingdom of Shu in the name of doing business.
The essence of money is an equivalent exchange. In the absence of equivalence, money has no meaning at all. But if it can be exchanged for materials, then money has full value.
Originally, these 50 billion were not worth 50 billion.
Once sold off, purchasing power will inevitably drop a lot.
But through this game, Su Che successfully exchanged 50 billion worth of Zhibai Wuzhu in the national treasury for 50 billion worth of materials, or even more!
This is not a free-for-all, but it is indeed a huge profit.
The Eastern Wu and Wei states, which were still in a state of madness, did not even realize the seriousness of the problem at this moment.
Cao Rui and Sun Quan were both shocked by the amount of money they earned.
Especially Cao Rui, he was originally worried about the expenses of conquering Eastern Wu, but now he has earned so much money that he doesn't have to worry about the expenses at all.
Both he and the wealthy and powerful families that benefited from him made a lot of money.
This money comes too easily...
It was like a strong wind blowing.
This was really too dreamy, but Cao Rui gradually realized some problems.
That is, the prices of these numbered Shu brocades are too high.
All the money here was earned by him and those wealthy families. Once the market for imperial brocade collapses, it seems like there will be big problems!
Both Cao Rui and Sun Quan were a little panicked at this moment!
What should I do?
Their intuition told them:
If you ignore it, there is a high probability that big problems will arise!
Both Cao Rui and Sun Quan asked their subordinates what to do.
But even an old fox like Sima Yi was confused after hearing Cao Rui's question.
Sima Yi had read countless books and knew everything from astronomy to geography. He was a man of great learning and had more ideas than hairs. But when he encountered this problem, he couldn't help but frowned.
"This is the first time I have encountered such a situation." Sima Yi said slowly.
Since the second smartest person in the world can't solve the problem, we can only ask the smartest person in the world.
Cao Rui contacted Su Che and asked what to do about this matter. Although I made a lot of money thanks to you, such a big problem must be solved!
In response to Cao Rui's question, Su Che gave his own solution - delay!
If you want to delay it, you have to delay it as hard as you can!
No matter what means are used, as long as this market is dragged down and the bubble is not burst, nothing will happen.
As long as we delay it, transfer the conflict outside, and attack Dongwu, all these problems will be solved once our family business becomes bigger.
After hearing this method, Cao Rui couldn't help but admire that he was indeed the smartest person in the world!
This is a great solution!
at the same time.
Cao Wei and Shu Han began to join forces to attack Wu!
When the news came out, everyone in the Wu Kingdom was shocked, and what followed was an unprecedented financial crisis!
As the saying goes, gold is valuable in troubled times, and antiques are valuable in prosperous times.
Although imperial brocade is neither an antique nor gold.
But when war comes, everyone will be in urgent need of working capital to purchase various supplies, and all bubbles will burst.
When someone sells Imperial Brocade at a slightly lower price and no one buys it for a while, this is undoubtedly the opening of the door to hell!
More and more people began to sell at frantically low prices, but when they found that no one was willing to take over, the entire market instantly fell from heaven to earth.
The imperial brocade, which was originally very expensive, became a hot potato at this moment.
Previously, the extremely rare numbers that were fought over fiercely, such as 6666, were now being sold to others by the holders even at half the price.
When everyone's confidence was shaken, the price of Royal Brocade began to drop almost instantly.
This will undoubtedly make people further lose confidence in Huangjin's market.
The collapsing snowball is rolling!
When all those who hold the Imperial Brocade are eager to sell it, at this time, no one is willing to take it over!
Even the dumbest person can see the problem at this point.
Because no one took over, this directly led to the collapse of the entire Huangjin market.
More and more people are falling into despair.
This, in turn, caused a further avalanche.
And those who were in the lending business were more desperate than anyone else at this moment. All the money they lent out became bad debts!
Because of the popularity of Huangjin, many people in Dongwu borrowed money to buy it, which directly made the entire lending market very hot.
But now, with the collapse of the Huangjin Market, people doing lending business have begun to frantically demand debts from speculators, but the speculators simply cannot afford to pay back the money, even if they are killed!
The once bustling Huangjin Market instantly turned into a hell of misery and debt collection!
Even those wealthy families lost everything they had when this storm came!
The only beneficiary in the entire Eastern Wu was Sun Quan and his family!
He obtained countless money and became the ultimate beneficiary, but except for him and his family, the entire Dongwu entered a hellish scene!
Originally, Sun Quan could solve this problem slowly, but now, with a powerful enemy at hand, the Wei Kingdom has actually joined forces with the Shu Kingdom to attack the Wu Kingdom. This has given him a headache and he has no time to deal with the mess in the country.
For him, the only good news is that he has earned enough money from the Huangjin turmoil to recruit troops and resist!
However, he obviously thought things were a bit too simple...
Because Sun Quan did not come forward to resolve the problem, this directly caused further chaos in the market economy.
The economy of the entire Eastern Wu collapsed completely, and those aristocratic families went crazy. Even some officials in Eastern Wu had no interest in government affairs at the moment because they had also lost a lot of money!
Under this series of severe blows, the entire Eastern Wu was in chaos. No matter whether it was the local currency of Eastern Wu, the Wuzhu coins, or the Zhibai Wuzhu coins of Shu Han, at this moment they were all no longer considered money, and everyone returned to the original practice of bartering.
Under such circumstances, even though he had money, Sun Quan found it difficult to spend it!
Not only that, Sun Quan also discovered that the money he had was constantly depreciating and becoming less and less valuable!
As a result, he went from making huge profits to losing a lot of money!
This made Sun Quan very confused - why is my money worthless? Where did my money go?
