The first lord of the poor family

Chapter 85 Selling Futures

"Of course it won't work in one month, but you can still do it in two years!" Lin Hai said with a smile.

"Didn't the letter say that my husband should raise all the money within a month?"

"Hahaha, don't worry! Just raise the money first, which is equivalent to a credit! There will definitely be people snatching up such fine iron.

You can collect enough money in no time! "

Lin Hai did not explain it too clearly and carefully wrote down the method of raising money in the letter.

After the official has finished his meal, let him return as quickly as possible with the letter.

Lin Hai calculated the days and found that the earliest train shipped to the capital should be arriving soon.

It is estimated that after the letter is brought back, the first batch of goods will be delivered in time.

In this way, Lin Tiangui can successfully raise 500 million taels of silver.

Two days later, the six-hundred-mile express report was delivered to Lin Tiangui.

Lin Tiangui looked at the letter with confusion on his face.

"futures?"

As you continue to look, your eyes will become brighter and brighter.

Lin Ruoxue also heard about the letter from Lin Hai.

He quickly came over to Lin Tiangui to see what the letter said.

Seeing Lin Tiangui holding the letter with his eyes wide open, he didn't even notice that he was in front of him. Sometimes he frowned, sometimes he laughed.

Lin Ruoxue was even more curious about what was written in the letter that could make her father lose his composure like this.

I couldn't help but ask: "Dad, what exactly was written in the letter? Does it make you so happy?"

"Hahaha, dad was right! Lin Hai is definitely a talent!"

"I never thought in my wildest dreams that there would be such a clever way to raise money. It seems that now the court's disaster relief fund-raising can be successfully solved."

Lin Ruoxue also knew that the court was short of 500 million taels of silver.

Almost all of the family's money has been donated by Lin Tiangui to the court to help the victims.

But I never expected that Lin Hai would actually think of a way to raise money, and he could raise 500 million vehicles within a month.

This made Lin Ruoxue feel very incredible.

Could it be that Lin Hai found a silver mine?
Even if you open a silver mine, you can't refine so much silver in a short period of time!

He said very anxiously: "What solution did he say? Tell me quickly!"

"This matter is related to a major court matter, so I don't have time to delay it at home. Dad will talk to you in detail when I get back."

Lin Tiangui took the letter and hurried out.

He shouted loudly outside: "Hurry up and prepare your car, the king is going to enter the palace!"

Lin Ruoxue stomped her feet angrily, "What on earth can you do? Tell me and it's not too late to leave!"

Lin Tiangui kept urging the carriage to drive as quickly as possible.

There are still many things that need to be prepared for fundraising, but Lin Tiangui knows that this method will be feasible.

You must know that such good iron is priceless, and it can be sold out immediately as long as it is brought to the market.

Both the powerful and the big businessmen are willing to spend money to buy in advance.

In the past few days, Gong Yanwu's pressure has been increasing, and memorials have been filed in many places.

They are all asking for disaster relief food.

There were even riots in some small places, but they were barely suppressed.

But if things go on like this, something big will happen sooner or later.

Once it leads to a large-scale rebellion, it will be a heavy blow to the entire Great Xia.

Hearing Lin Tiangui's request to see him, he quickly let him in.

"Is there any good news when the prince comes here at this time? Has the matter of raising money been settled?"

Gong Yanwu asked quickly, regardless of her manners.After all, she is a woman in her 20s, and she has been hit one after another, and she can no longer bear it.

"Congratulations to the Queen Mother, we do have a good idea. I guarantee that we can raise enough money and food within a month. I think it may not take a month at all, a few days of effort will be enough!"

Lin Tiangui said happily.

"Ah? Is this Lin Hai actually so rich? He can even get 500 million taels of silver?" Gong Yanwu was surprised.

Although there are many wealthy businessmen in Daxia, even those powerful people may have hundreds of thousands or even millions of taels of silver in their homes.

But these people only have interests in their eyes, and it is absolutely impossible for them to help the court.

They would rather spend a lot of money in a brothel than donate money.

"Although Lin Hai has some money, it would be nice to have a few thousand taels of silver. He definitely can't come up with 500 million taels of silver by himself." Lin Tiangui said with a smile.

Gong Yanwu was even more curious after hearing this: "Since he can't come up with so much silver, then who can be willing to donate 500 million taels of silver to the court."

"Sell the iron in advance!" Lin Tiangui said.

"Selling the iron in advance? What does this mean? No matter how good his iron-making skills are, he can't refine so much iron in a short time!"

"Of course not. Lin Hai proposed something called futures. In other words, the refined iron that will be refined in the future will be sold in advance.

But the merchants must first hand over the money to the court.

In this way, the money can be collected in a short time. "

Lin Tiangui said with a smile.

"This is definitely a very talented idea, and it can completely relieve the court's urgent needs."

Gong Yanwu did not feel happy, and frowned and said: "Those businessmen are smarter than monkeys, will they be willing to take out the money in advance?"

"Of course they wouldn't believe it if it was something else! But the imperial court guarantees it, and the quality of this fine iron is extremely high.

You can make huge profits by selling them.

These businessmen are not fools, of course they are willing to do this business!
As for the detailed operation methods, they are all in the letter, please read it! "

Lin Tiangui handed over the letter.

Gong Yanwu looked at it carefully, and the more she looked, the more surprised she became.

Did the ancients ever have this method of operation?

They actually want to sell all the iron in the future to make money in case of emergencies.

But if you think about it carefully, such fine iron can make a very fine sword.

Once forged into a sword, its value can be multiplied several times.

After all, things are rare and expensive, and you can't buy such fine iron no matter how much you spend.

What's more, they can hoard all this iron.

It took a few years to sell out.

In this way, their profits will be more generous.

"Yes, I agree with this method! Just do as he said!"

"Your Majesty is absolutely right. This man is really talented. He should be allowed to serve as an official in the court."

Lin Tiangui stroked his beard and said proudly: "Don't worry, Queen Mother, I still have a good eye for people.

It's just that he doesn't want to be an official.

It's better to find a way to get him to come to the capital first.

When the time comes, the Queen Mother will find a reason to give him an official position, and it will be impossible for him to refuse even if he wants to. "

"There are still people in the world who don't want to be officials? It's really strange!" Gong Yanwu said with a frown.

All people with such weird personalities have great talents.

It is very difficult to get such a person to do something wholeheartedly.
