Chapter 604 Combination Punch
After Gu Huaisheng stood up, he noticed that Xue Xu and Ji Wuyin were standing on the left side of the conference room, and Guo Chong was standing on the right side. He subconsciously walked to Guo Chong's side.
Lu Songli smiled, "Master Gu, welcome to Pingzhou."
Gu Huaisheng had just arrived when Dong Jichuan arrived.
Lu Songli just sent someone to invite Gu Huaisheng. Xue Xu felt that he should not favor one over the other, so he suggested inviting Dong Jichuan as well.
Seeing that everyone was present, Lu Songli didn't waste any words. She directly designed their simple plan of buying deer to defeat Chu into a complex plan.
Using the purchase of deer to make Chu as an introduction, the prices of related raw materials such as flour and donkey meat in donkey meat hot pot are raised, especially the latter - donkey.
Before implementing this strategy, they must plan it carefully. For example, the fodder and beans for raising donkeys should be guided and regulated in the strategy.
Once the strategy is implemented, the price of donkey meat hotpot will rise, and the related raw materials and industries involved will not only rise in response, but will also be affected, resulting in a bullwhip effect.
Then, when they close the net, they will drastically lower the price of donkeys. This way, the impact will be huge and can further destroy the people's livelihood and economy in Zhuozhou.
Gu Huaisheng frowned slightly and said hesitantly, "This will damage your reputation, Governor."
Lu Songli: "Nothing." How can you cherish your life when doing big things?
Guo Chong: "What are you afraid of? We can then blame the Emperor of Dali for the price reduction of the donkeys."
Xue Xu: "Exactly. From the beginning to the end, our governor just loves to eat donkey meat hotpot. How can the rise and fall of donkey meat prices be blamed on the governor?"
Dong Jichuan's eyes suddenly changed. He looked at the two of them meaningfully and said, "I didn't expect you to be like this."
Xue Xu and Guo Chong ignored his gaze.
Guo Chong: "Also, Zhuozhou is right next to Youzhou, so there will definitely be people who will follow suit. This year, we can assign some planting tasks to the counties and towns adjacent to Zhuozhou to prevent them from blindly following the trend."
Xue Xu: "I think even if this is the case, there will still be no shortage of people following suit. When the time comes, can we subsidize these people?"
Gu Huaisheng also came to his senses, "In this way, the governor's reputation is still good."
"However, if we implement this, we might end up with a large number of donkeys, and in that case, we will also suffer losses."
"Also, the Dali court might take action."
After working with Xie Zhan for so long, Gu Huaisheng knew that Xie Zhan was very smart and he was very wary of Pingzhou.
Lu Songli said, "I'll have the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce find a well-known Qingzhou donkey-hide gelatin pharmacy to sign a simultaneous order. Pharmacies like them have a great demand for donkeys."
She then added, "Whether it's our donkey purchase contract with Zhuozhou or our sales contract with Qingzhou, it must stipulate that if the donkey price fluctuates, only we have the right to breach the contract and pay the other party liquidated damages."
"In this way, when the contract expires, if the price of donkeys rises above the penalty for breach of contract, we will cancel the transaction with Qingzhou and execute the order contract with Zhuozhou; if the price of donkeys falls above the penalty for breach of contract, we will execute the transaction with Qingzhou and cancel the transaction with Zhuozhou." Lu Songli proposed the concept of long-term trading.
This is based on the "buy deer to control Chu" strategy, combined with the bullwhip effect, they Pingzhou also equipped themselves with a long-term knock agreement to protect themselves. In this way, the risk is completely transferred.
Hmm? Is this even possible?
Ji Wuyin and Gu Huaisheng's eyes lit up.
Both of them were well versed in business and commerce, so they naturally saw the power of this combination of punches.
At this moment, Lü Songli was calculating in his mind that executing this complex plan would require a considerable number of personnel. Just for Zhuozhou alone, two groups of personnel would have to be deployed. One group would implement the "buy deer to control Chu" strategy, and another would implement the "long-term strike" strategy, and the latter would have to be implemented before the former.
Of the six people present, it was obvious that Ji Wuyin and Gu Huaisheng had both followed the governor's thoughts. Xue Xu, Guo Chong, and Dong Jichuan still had only a vague understanding. The three of them looked at each other.
"Well, what you just discussed was all about commodity economy. It's a bit complicated for us. Can someone explain it to us in detail?"
Ji Wuyin asked, "Governor, can I explain this to them?"
Lu Songli nodded.
Xue Xu said to Ji Wuyin, "Just tell us the latter part, we understand the former part."
Ji Wuyin thought about it for a moment before saying, "The next part is that our people will sign contracts in advance with the donkey dealers in Zhuozhou's donkey farm and the pharmacy in Qingzhou. The one in Zhuozhou is a buy contract, and the one in Qingzhou is a sell contract."
"We have the power to cancel orders. If donkeys are cheap, we won't buy from Zhuozhou and can buy cheaper donkeys from the market and sell them to customers in Qingzhou. If donkeys are expensive, we'll trade with Zhuozhou, cancel the orders from Qingzhou customers, and sell the donkeys to others."
"No matter what the final price of donkeys is, we can make a profit. The small amount of liquidated damages we lose is not worth mentioning."
Learned something new again!
Hiss, their governor is really awesome.
No matter how the Dali court responds to this situation, whether it tries to raise the price or just let it go, Pingzhou will not suffer too much loss.
This is an open conspiracy.
Moreover, if they implement this strategy well, the impact may not only extend to Zhuozhou. Then we will see if we can catch rabbits while robbing grass.
No one present said anything to spoil the fun, like saying it was too cruel...
A kind heart cannot command an army. It is better to take Zhuozhou without bloodshed than to use force.
Lu Songli was very satisfied with her subordinates' understanding. Her subordinates were clear-headed and very good.
Again, she only needs to be responsible for the people under her jurisdiction.
The soldiers fought for her will and the people worked hard to support the officials and soldiers of Pingzhou. They were all lovely people.
And Zhuozhou is not her Zhuozhou yet. Besides, it is better for the people of Zhuozhou to suffer an economic war than to fight a direct war and lose their lives.
Ji Wuyin suddenly thought of something, "Governor, there is one more thing. The blockade imposed on us by the Dali court has not been lifted yet." If it is not lifted, neither the donkey dealers in Zhuozhou nor the Zhenfang Medical Clinic in Qingzhou can do business with them legitimately, right?
Lu Songli smiled and said, "Then let Dali lift the blockade on us first."
"How do we do that?"
"Salt dumping." It's time to let Dali taste the taste of dumping.
Pingzhou now not only has lake salt from Longcheng, but also sea salt. Otherwise, with so many people in Pingzhou, there must be a shortage of salt.
Gu Huaisheng and Dong Jichuan looked at each other. They had never expected that Pingzhou also mastered the powerful weapon of salt production.
Oh my god, the governor is trying to dig up Dali’s roots.
How can Dali afford such low-priced salt?
This time, Gu Huaisheng and Dong Jichuan fully realized the power of the Pingzhou think tank. All the problems that seemed very difficult to them were solved through discussion.
Is it misfortune or misfortune for Dali to encounter such an opponent?
