Chapter 41: A Big Loss


Sometimes the house leak happens to rain overnight, and drinking cold water can also plug your teeth. often closed the position and released grain, and the price of grain plummeted, which made Zhang Chao feel very bad.

As a result, when I got to the pharmacy, I got even worse news.

The shopkeeper told Zhang Chao that the stock of medicinal materials that Zhang Chao wanted to purchase was insufficient, and the price had to be increased.

Several materials that Zhang Chao needs, such as alkali stone and miscanthus salt, are all medicinal materials that are not very commonly used in the pharmacy.

There is very little stock in the pharmacy, and even if you want to increase the purchase volume now, you can't buy too much for a while.

However, Zhang Chao needs a large amount, and Zhangjia Pharmacy has to transfer goods from other channels, and the cost will undoubtedly increase a lot.

"How much does the price increase?"

The price of food over there has fallen, Zhang Chao is congested, and now that the price of medicine is rising here, he is even more congested.

He was still thinking just now that in the future, Huang Baobao's profits will fall, and he will count on selling flour soda to make money.

But now the price of the pharmacy is going to rise, isn't it not a way to live?

"If you want this amount now, it will be difficult for us to supply, and if you want this amount for a long time, there is no pharmacy in Chang'an City that can sell you at this price."

The shopkeeper is still very polite, although the price is going to increase, but he is sorry.

But the price increase is the price increase, and the price has risen very much, directly doubling the original price.

Zhang Chao almost wanted to throw his sleeves and leave, but the shopkeeper Zhang said very sincerely, all the pharmacies in the entire Chang'an City, the East and West Cities, no matter which pharmacies he changed, these medicinal materials were not easy to get, and they needed so much money, so they could only be at this price.

Although the qi is angry, but the fact is so, Zhang Chao has no choice.

He calculated in his heart that he was selling a liter of flour soda to Cui Fatzi for two dollars, and the cost was not low, almost five hundred yuan.

Not counting his labor money and his technical value, he can earn 1,500 yuan by refining a liter of baking soda.

He provides Cui Pang with five liters a day, and he can earn seven and a half yuan.

Now the shopkeeper lion opened his mouth, and the raw materials were directly doubled.

As a result, the cost of one liter of soda rose to 1,000 Wen, and his profit was only 1,000.

Although the profit has decreased a lot, as long as the supply of materials is up, it is still acceptable.

What Zhang Chao couldn't accept the most was that the shopkeeper doubled the price, and even said that he couldn't guarantee the full supply.

It's good to talk to the shopkeeper Zhang, but the shopkeeper Zhang still has that attitude, these medicinal materials that Zhang Chao wants are not commonly used medicinal materials, even if he organizes the transfer of goods, it is difficult to ensure such a large supply. was in a bad mood, and Zhang Chao didn't want to stay in Chang'an any longer.

"Go home."

After leaving the West Market, he first went to the Qin Mansion to say goodbye to Qin Qiong and the others, and Qin Shubao kept them for dinner, but Father Zhang did not agree.

None of them are from Chang'an, and Chang'an enforces a curfew at night, so if they stay for dinner, then they won't want to go out of the city today.

Today, Zhang Chao was in a state of confusion, thinking that there was still a grain collection group at home collecting grain everywhere, and he still used the original high price of 300 yuan to collect grain, his heart was dripping blood.

You have to go back early and stop collecting food early.

The ones that were originally collected can only grit their teeth and pay high prices, but they will have to go with the market in the future.

Qin Qiong asked Qin Dare to call a few cars to send Zhang Chaoye and the five members of the Qian family he bought back to Bashang.

On the way back, Zhang Chao kept thinking about it, not knowing how much food his family had received.

If you collect one stone of millet, you will lose 900 Wen.

All his belongings now are fifteen taels of gold in his hand and ten taels of gold in his family.

These twenty-five taels of gold, and ten taels are Cui Fatzi's eight-day deposit for flour alkali.

Along the way, Zhang Chao kept urging speed.

Hurry up and soon return to Zhangjiagou.

As soon as Zhang Chao arrived home, he immediately hurriedly found Uncle Zhao, who was in charge of collecting grain.

"Uncle Zhao, how much grain has been collected at home?"

Uncle Zhao looked excited, "San Lang, the villagers are very righteous, it doesn't matter if it is the end of the month, they are willing to sell the grain to us."

Today, we collected more than 500 stone grains, which is enough for us to make two or three months of bread. ” Zhang Chao's face stiffened suddenly, and he felt that his head was dizzy.

"How can you collect so much grain?"

"The villagers in the nearby villages heard that the grain we collected was 100 wen higher than the market price per bucket, so they rushed to come with the grain."

Zhang Chao was distressed and dripping blood.

He didn't even remember that there was such a thing, originally Mizi was three times a stone, and he also added a hundred yuan per stone.

In this way, it is three thousand and one for each stone.

And now in Chang'an City, the millet has fallen to two thousand and one per stone, which means that every stone collected will be a loss of money.

Damn, he collected more than 500 stones, wouldn't he lose more than 500 yuan in one day According to his estimates, the millet will have to be reduced, and it is estimated that it will be reduced to half of the original price.

Then the more than 500 stone grain he bought, he had to lose thousands of yuan Hold the grass, it's going bankrupt.

"Uncle Zhao, stop collecting grain immediately, you can't collect it anymore, and you can't collect it anymore."

"What's the matter, all the food has been sent from afar, we can't let people pull it back."

"I really can't take it, Chang'an City often closes the warehouse and puts grain, Uncle Zhao, do you know how much the price of grain has fallen, a bucket of rice has fallen from five hundred yuan to three hundred and five, and a bucket of millet has fallen from three hundred to two hundred and one.

We will lose as much as we collect, more than 500 stones, and we will lose more than 500 yuan today. ” Uncle Zhao was also shocked when he heard this.

"San Lang don't scare me, it's really like this" Daddy nodded beside him.

Uncle Zhao's frightened face turned white.

He was just an ordinary government soldier, and he was sent by the Cheqi Mansion to his father's side to be a combat retinue.

The old man and his grandfather were very good to them, they slept on the warm kang at night, and they ate very well.

Do some work for my father, and you can also have another salary, two liters of millet noodles a day.

I am also grateful, and I took the trouble to collect grain for Zhang Chaoye and his wife, and I helped collect more than 500 stones of grain all day long.

I still wanted to wait for Zhang Chao and the two to come back to show their merits, but who knew that they had a big disaster.

More than 500 yuan, that's more than 500,000 yuan.

Even if the price of millet has fallen now, you can still buy more than 200 stone millet seeds, more than 20,000 catties.

Uncle Zhao was at a loss and couldn't speak.

"Hey, I, I" didn't even finish saying a few words, Uncle Zhao rolled his eyelids and fell back.

The father hurriedly held on, pinched and rubbed his chest, and finally Uncle Zhao woke up.

"Brother Iron Gun, I, I'm sorry for you, I really didn't know that the price of food had fallen."

"Uncle Zhao, don't worry, I don't blame you for this.

Just accept it, and then don't collect it.

There is always a risk in doing business, and if you lose, you will lose something, and it is not a big deal.

Zhang Chao hurriedly comforted Uncle Zhao.

Uncle Zhao's face turned pale, "San Lang, why don't I go and tell the villagers, let's return this grain again."

"How can you do such a thing.

The grain has been collected, and it has been said that it will be settled at the end of the month to give the money, and now that the price of grain has fallen, we will return the grain, this is not to let the villagers poke our backbones and scold.

You have to be trustworthy in life, and you have to be trustworthy in business.

We said the price before we received it, so we can't change it, let alone return it. ” "No matter, isn't it just a few hundred yuan, I can still accompany it."

Zhang Chao could only slap his swollen face at this time, pretending to be fat.

Although the peasants are simple, the common people also like to take advantage of a little cheap.

It was precisely because Zhang Chao was willing to increase the price of ten wen per bucket before, and these people sent grain one after another.

Now Zhang Chao really dares to say that he will return the grain, and if he says no, it will not be pointed out by thousands of people, and the Zhang family will not want to mix in this township in the future.

Not to mention 500 guan, even 1,000 guan, you won't be able to buy back a good reputation at that time.

Besides, for others, five hundred guan may be enough to completely crush them, let alone thousand.

But for Zhang Chao, thousands of dollars are really not a big problem.

Although he was cheated once, he was sure to earn it back.

"Okay, hurry up and inform everyone that we will no longer collect food, and also tell everyone the reason.

It is that the capital has often closed the position and released grain, and the price of grain has fallen.

In addition, tell those villagers who have already sold us grain that no matter whether the price of grain falls or rises, we will tell them what the price will be when we receive it, and we will settle the payment at whatever price we will use at the end of the month. ” Zhang Chao's words made my father feel both relieved and a little worried.

It is gratifying that this son has shown a very good character at the critical moment, but what worries him is that in this way, the grain collected by the Zhang family will be more than 500 yuan, and I still don't know if it will continue to fall in the future.

Uncle Zhao hurriedly ran to the village to announce the new news.

As soon as the news came out, it really caused a lot of surprise to the people who came to sell grain.

Those who have already sold grain to the Zhang family and got the food stamps are naturally full of joy, and they keep saying that the Zhang family is good for their father and son.

And those who haven't come before to sell the grain into the Zhang family are all shocked and anxious.

"Zhao Da, we rushed more than ten miles early in the morning to bring the grain here, and we queued here for a long time, and now it's our turn to collect our food, you say you won't accept it, this is unreasonable."

"Ouch, this old brother, there's really no way.

You have also heard that the price of Jingshi millet fell by 30% in one day, so how can we collect it.

How much you collect and how much you lose, you are shoehorning it into us now, and we can't give you any money at the end of the month, isn't this also blind. ” But Uncle Zhao's words could not soothe these angry villagers.

They all want the Zhang family to collect the grain, and it is at the original price, so that their grain can be sold for a lot more money.

Seeing that the more noisy it became, Zhang Chao appeared at the right time.

"Fellow villagers, uncles, brothers.

This time, it is true that we did not expect it, and our Zhang family really can't accept the grain.

I'm very sorry for that.

I'm sorry everyone."

But those villagers refused to accept Zhang Chao's refusal at all.

"That's it, now that I have pulled grain here and haven't collected it yet, I can't collect any more grain, but I will add ten yuan to the grain as originally agreed, and give you a compensation.

After taking the compensation, the villagers will bring the grain home, how about it" On the drying field, there are still about 100 stones of grain that have not been collected, which is the grain sent by dozens of households.

It is impossible for Zhang Chao to collect these again, and he will have to lose one or two hundred yuan if he collects them again.

Zhang Chao is willing to take a step back and give them some compensation, which will also calm their mood.

One stone makes up for one hundred wen, and Zhang Chao will compensate them with a total of ten yuan for the rest of the grain, which can be regarded as a very conscientious one.

Although those people were still very unhappy, but now, this can be regarded as a rare sincerity of the Zhang family, and in the end, everyone still accepted Zhang Chao's proposal, took compensation, and then pulled the food home.

Scattered more than a dozen dollars, and those people began to pull food home one after another.

Those villagers who had already sold grain to Zhang's family left satisfied, after Zhang Chao promised again and again that he would settle the original agreed price at the end of the month.

In the warehouse in the village, Zhang Chao looked at the piles of grain and felt a toothache. t1706231537:
