Chapter 685
In order to fight against Ying Yu, these merchants deliberately slowed down the transportation of goods, and at the same time spent a lot of property to sweep away the goods.
The purpose is to hold all the goods in the hands, thus directly monopolizing the market.
At that time, even if they deliberately slow down the transportation of goods, other merchants will not be able to complete the purchase of goods even if they do not join them.
Today, a large amount of goods in the market are hoarded in the hands of these merchants who oppose Ying Yu.
They wanted to blackmail the government with this, but they didn't expect that Ying Yu would directly resort to a tactic, cutting off all their thoughts.
By this moment, savvy businessmen have realized that they have made a fatal mistake.
They think that as long as the majority of businessmen unite and gather enough wealth, they will have the right to speak.
It's just that they forget that this is the era of imperial power, and in this era, money is not everything.
Faced with Ying Yu's pressure, some shrewd businessmen have already calculated the follow-up development. They know that if they don't stop now, it will be too late.
Because they are businessmen who are more aware of how rich Daqin is today.
Isn't Da Qin's money all Ying Yu's money?
It's ridiculous that they were delusional and resisted Ying Yu.
At this moment, this group of shrewd businessmen already know what to do next.
After weighing it over, they decided to immediately give up confronting Ying Yu.
But after all, there are only a small number of shrewd businessmen, especially in this huge team.
Their opinions were not accepted, instead, more people wanted to fight Ying Yu to the end with gritted teeth.
They believed that it was not businessmen like them who were most affected by Ying Yu's cut off of foreign trade, but Daqin's economy.
So they expected that such a situation would not last for a long time.
They just need to have a little patience to wait, and Ying Yu's method will be self-defeating in a short time.
That group of shrewd businessmen knew that they could not influence the opinions of most fools, so they took advantage of this opportunity to quickly sell the goods they had hoarded.
Although there will inevitably be certain losses, at least it is better than throwing everything in your hands and losing the whole game.
It's just that when they wanted to sell these materials, they found that there were no merchants to take over.
This is also an inevitable thing. At this moment, the Daqin government has cut off the foreign trade route.
And these merchants who had resisted Ying Yu before, what they hoarded were all goods for export.
At this moment, how could anyone dare to take the risk of losing money and accept their fire sale?
In the end, the group of merchants who wanted to sell their goods were as anxious as ants on a hot pot.
At the same time, the government of Daqin released news that in order to make up for the losses of the merchants, the government can spend a certain amount of money to purchase their goods.
Those merchants are now in a hurry to stop losses, so naturally they don't think too much about it. If these things are sold for a copper plate, they will lose one copper plate less.
At this moment, the government came forward to compensate for the purchase. They would not think of anything else, so they sold all the goods in their hands very simply.
For them, this is already the best way to reduce losses.
Such a situation would appear, in fact, everything was expected by Ying Yu.
Ying Yu has already passed the stage of being compassionate to others. He single-handedly promoted these businessmen. If Ying Yu didn't vigorously develop business, they wouldn't be where they are today.
Now that they are ungrateful, Ying Yu will naturally not show mercy.
Of course, Ying Yu didn't kill them all, but took advantage of human nature.
He knows that human nature has always had two sides.
As long as you can use it well, you can definitely help yourself to get things done.
Ying Yu just took these people's strengths, weaknesses, etc. into consideration in his strategy.
And the effect obtained is also remarkable.
The Daqin government received a large amount of supplies almost without paying any price.
This in itself is already a big profit.
As for the date of unblocking, it is not up to Ying Yu alone. As long as the matter is resolved and he lifts the blockade of various checkpoints, these goods can still be sold at high prices to countries in the Western Regions.
The benefits that can be obtained from this are not just a little bit.
It's just that Ying Yu is not in a hurry to open up foreign trade, because he knows that the time has not yet come.
Now it's just some shrewd businessmen, aware of the direction of the matter, and eager to sell all the goods in their hands.
This is the first step of Ying Yu's plan, but Ying Yu's plan has just begun.
Ying Yu knew very well that with this group of businessmen taking the lead, more people would follow suit.
It's just that they are inconvenient to make a move now due to some previous promises or alliance matters.
Or they haven't realized the seriousness of the problem. These people are undoubtedly not as smart as the merchants who have sold their goods.
They haven't seen how the blockade of the exit checkpoint will have a great impact on them in the future.
Or many of them are still delusional that they can rely on their meager financial resources to resist Ying Yu.
Of course, more people still think that as long as they continue to persist for a while, Daqin will definitely not be able to bear the losses caused by the blockade, and will definitely lift the blockade at that time.
In fact, at this time, they didn't think of it at all. They thought so, and they themselves had fallen into a huge misunderstanding.
What he thinks is that once the checkpoints are unlocked, they will be able to sell the goods.
But they just overlooked one point. When they hoarded these goods, they didn't want them to be sold.
But at this moment, just after a little crisis, they have already abandoned their original idea.
Only this one reason is needed, and it is already certain that what they are planning will inevitably fail.
After all, this group of merchants combined seems to be very powerful.
But in fact, the vast majority of them are only united for their own interests.
Today, that benefit no longer exists.
So their alliance is already seemingly incompatible, or in other words, their alliance has been vulnerable from the very beginning.
At this moment, what Ying Yu is waiting for is no longer an opportunity, but a result that has already been determined.
What he wants is to squeeze out all the goods hoarded by these merchants at the lowest price.
Then sell these goods at normal prices, so that great profits can be obtained.
And these benefits are not obtained from the hands of ordinary people, but from the hands of businessmen who have a lot of money and have nowhere to spend.
The most important thing is that this matter is still famous, and it is impossible for it to be true.
