Mr. Bush has been thinking about this issue, but he has never had the courage to raise it. He has already compiled this number below, but he has never dared to report it.
"Our direct losses are about 1.7 million silver coins, but our losses are not reflected in this. Even if it is expanded ten times, our entire concession can afford it, but during the period when we were blocked
Here, the most important thing is the loss of our customers..."
There are already so many direct economic losses, not to mention indirect economic losses, and the most important ones are those indirect economic losses. It is impossible for them to leave the concession to do business with all the local people. They can only rely on local people.
Some compradors carry out distribution, which not only saves trouble, but also can quickly withdraw funds.
But now this situation is about to be broken. The Morgan Empire is different from other empires. They focus more on economic aggression, but less on territorial aggression, so they value these compradors even more.
When businessmen from other countries conduct transactions with compradors, they usually regard these compradors as their subordinates and even beat and scold them. However, the businessmen of the Morgan Empire do not do this. They pretend to regard these compradors as their subordinates.
His friends also gathered the largest number of compradors around him.
But no matter how good your usual attitude is, now you can't deliver the goods at all. You agreed to deliver the goods at 12 noon, but at 12 o'clock in the evening, your goods are still being inspected. You also need to bring these when buying takeout.
A system has long been formed for shipping goods to smaller merchants. If the goods are not delivered within the specified time, you will lose money, so you can only find the goods elsewhere.
If the Morgan Empire is blocked for a day or two, then these compradors will not be in a hurry. At most, they will temporarily purchase some goods elsewhere. As long as they can overcome the immediate difficulties, the rest will come slowly.
But it has been blocked for a week now, and the Suppression Army has spread the news that the Morgan Empire's checkpoints will not be easily removed. This is a punishment for the Morgan Empire, and it will take at least half a year.
When the news came out, the comprador businessmen in the three southern provinces fell into extreme panic. They began to look for new business owners. Of course, businessmen from other countries were not vegetarians. They also knew that this was a very good opportunity. If
If we can catch it, our sales network will be even bigger in the future. As for the life and death of Morgan merchants, it is none of our business.
"I have received definite news. The chambers of commerce of the Windsor Empire and the Gallic Empire have held a meeting. Their goal is to snatch the largest compradors from us. As far as I know, their consuls have personally taken action.
If we are snatched away by them, our annual sales will drop by at least 40%."
Lawrence got the latest news before he came in. Although these foreigners usually call each other brothers, they also wish to be a family when drinking, but if there is money lying around here, I'm afraid I won't be able to forgive you.
Anyone who has traveled thousands of miles to come to the Daqian Empire does it not to make money? But some of the earlier allocations have been completed, and each family has its own share, so it is not easy to expand one's own interests, but now the Morgan Empire
After provoking the Suppression Army, the Suppression Army directly attacked you. This is an excellent opportunity for businessmen from all over the world.
Annual sales dropped by 40%...
Mr. Bush recited this sentence in his heart. These are just a few relatively large compradors. If some small compradors are added, I am afraid that the number will be even larger. By then, the prosperity of the Morgan Empire Concession will continue.
There's no going back, and there's no chance of getting it back.
"The most important thing is that after our goods cannot be sold, except for some metal items, they can be stored. Other items cannot be stored for a long time. This is our shipping schedule for the next three months. If it cannot be solved
, the arrival of these goods will be a huge nightmare."
Lawrence took out another document. This document described the cargo ships that had arrived recently and what was loaded on them.
In this era, it takes at least two months to get from the Morgan empire, so many things have to be ordered in advance, but what will be the situation in two months? If the current situation does not change, a large number of our partners will
Contrary to other empires, after the arrival of these goods, they can only be piled up at the port, and a large number of merchants will go bankrupt, which will even eventually affect the financial ruin of the concession.
"Your Excellency, Consul, this is the news sent by the bankers. Originally, our bank had the highest reputation, but after what happened last time, many Chinese businessmen withdrew their money from our bank, because
Every time they come to deposit money and withdraw money, they have to be inspected twice by the anti-Lunar forces, so many people feel extremely inconvenient..."
The female secretary still had a very important document in her hand, but she didn't have the chance to say it out just now.
Mr. Bush waved his hands speechlessly. He really didn't want to hear this bad news now. If he continued to listen to this news, he felt that his blood vessels were about to burst. The originally well-developed concession had suddenly disappeared overnight.
With this situation, he can return to the Morgan Empire next year and be reunited with his family, but after this incident, it may be difficult to reunite.
"Lord Consul, Lord Consul..."
Just when he didn't know how to operate, several people ran in from outside in panic.
"Have the Suppression Army come?"
After Mr. Bush said this, he immediately felt that what he said was wrong...
"Your Majesty the Duke of Qin is here."
A waiter said breathlessly.
The Duke of Qin? The commander-in-chief of the army that suppressed the captives?
How is this possible? The street outside is very peaceful. Doesn't this guy bring a large number of guards with him every time he goes out?
Mr. Bush glanced out the window, and there was no difference from before. So did this guy come here in a simple car?
"Go and invite him in quickly..."
Mr. Bush was shocked. The businessmen in the concession now hate Gao Shaoyi extremely. If someone attacks him...
Then there will be no tomorrow for the entire concession...
