Soon, all salt merchants in Xuzhou found this strange phenomenon.
They all think each other is crazy.
However, they immediately launched forces to inquire, and soon found that the other side was indeed crazy.
Because this is Zhang Yu, Zhang Yu is a recognized madman.
Crazy people are crazy, and they are crazy. The salt they sell is half of their price.
"Madman, madman, how can we produce such white and high-quality salt at such a low price?" When the salt merchants saw the salt sold by Zhang Yu, they all cried out.
It is not that they have never seen this kind of salt, but they eat it every day.
Because what they eat is the salt sold by Mi family.
The price of salt sold by Mi family is ten times that of their own.
But they think it's worth it, because the salt is white and free of impurities, which can't be compared with their own salt.
Therefore, these salt merchants think that the output will not be high and the cost will also be high, so it will not have any impact on them.
The MI family is also smart. In order not to touch the interests of these people, the salt he sells is sold on a high-end route to those aristocratic families and rich families.
But what's the situation now?
This is what Zhang Yu sells. They usually pay ten times as much for it.
And now it's on a large scale, and the price is only half that of them.
In this way, where will their salt be bought.
Several salt merchants are in a panic.
"Contact several other salt merchants to discuss matters."
If it's someone else, they will directly suppress it immediately. They have too many ways, but this time they are facing Zhang Yu.
Tao Qian has nothing to do with Zhang Yu. How dare they treat Zhang Yu?
None of these salt merchants really dares to connect directly with Zhang Yu, so they want to unite.
Soon, the six salt merchants in Xuzhou got together.
"I believe we all know the situation. In the past, there were disagreements and competitions. That's what will happen in the future. Now what we have to do is to face Zhang Yu's crazy behavior." Yan Cheng said to several owners.
After all, there are contradictions among them. It's not suitable to go to anyone's home.
After Yan Cheng opened his mouth, the other five didn't object, nodded silently, and then began to think.
Liu Shan said: "I think we can use our respective strength to unite, suppress them together and drive them out of Xuzhou."
"Other people are nothing. How dare you? I can assure you that if you do that, he will dare to bring the army to your Liu family. Zhang Yu is a madman, so he dares to do it. " One of them said.
Liushan immediately Yan down, Zhang Yu has done too many crazy things, they are really afraid.
Originally, Liushan knew he couldn't do it like this. One family didn't dare, so he wanted to work with six families.
Yan Cheng looked at them and said, "the salt sold by Zhang Yu is close to our cost. We can observe for a few days how much salt he can sell, but we need to share information. Our six salt merchants are basically responsible for one place."
This is what people don't understand. The quality of Zhang Yu's salt is so good that he can't sell it even if the price is the same or higher than theirs. Why does Zhang Yu sell it at half price?
People don't understand.
In fact, the salt Zhang Yu sold in Xuzhou has been sold at a high price, and the price he sold in his own territory is much lower than this price.
In this era, the way to get salt is to boil water to get salt.
The method is very simple, set up a big pot, and then use firewood to boil sea water.
We all know how much it costs.
Among other things, cooking a large pot requires one or two people to operate, and then a lot of firewood is consumed, and the salt is often not much.
Therefore, the cost of salt in this era is very high.
And Zhang Yu's salt, directly using the sun salt method, the cost is very low, and the amount is very large.
Under Zhang Yu's rule, there are many beaches in both the north and the south, which can bask in salt.
Therefore, the salt Zhang Yu sold in Xuzhou was a huge profit.
Suddenly a salt merchant Xu Ming said, "it's too passive. I have a way."
When Xu Ming opened his mouth, everyone looked at him.
When all the people focused their attention, Xu Ming laughed, took a sip of tea and said, "in fact, we don't have to be so nervous. Zhang Yu's salt sales can't last long. It's OK to do this in the short term, but it's not bad for him in the long term. So my way is that we each take out money to collect Zhang Yu's salt. "
Everyone's eyes are bright. This is a good way in the short term. When Zhang Yu raises the price, they can make a lot of money from the salt they buy.
"It's feasible. I think Zhang Yu just wants to crush us in a short time, and then monopolize himself so as to make huge profits. He must have other ways in the future. First, we worked out a way for Zhang Yu's family. It was a lot easier, so we broke up and went back to decorate.
In the short term, this kind of thing did not cause any confusion. Only a few salt merchants felt the pressure, and Tao Qian did not know.
At this time, Tao Qian has been grasping the military and politics, and always wanted to make Xuzhou strong again, against Cao Cao and Zhang Yu.
When these salt merchants went back, they had a lot of money in their hands, so they went to various places and began to buy a lot of Zhang Yu's salt.
Two days later, Zhang Yu received the news that it would be so fast, because Yangzhou and Xuzhou are close to each other in some places, and Zhang Yu has set up the intelligence system, and there will be fast horses running day and night.
"Ha ha, that's great. We can ship a lot of goods and earn real money." When Zhang Yu received the news, he immediately laughed happily.
He called Zhang Zhao and told him what happened in Xuzhou.
"Lord, my subordinates will increase the supply of salt to Xuzhou as soon as possible, so that our salt merchants will not be out of stock."
Zhang Zhao is the happiest and most active, which can enable him to obtain a large amount of copper money in a short time to solve the money shortage.
Zhang Zhao understands that over the years, Kuaiji county has been drying too much salt and hoarding too much salt. Many of these salt are overstocked in the warehouse and cannot be sold.
When Zhang Yu produced salt, he didn't control it and kept on producing it.
Now sales are limited, in addition to their own territory, that is, Jingzhou and grassland. Although these quantities are large, they are not enough to consume Zhangyu's salt.
Therefore, Zhang Yu seems to have found a group of unjust big head to take over these goods, so that Zhang Yu's salt can be realized.
