Chapter 678: The Submissive Foreign Trade (Part 2)

The supply of tungsten sand, which accounts for 90% of China's supply, has suddenly stopped. Whether it is officially licensed or quietly from Guangdong Province, almost all supplies have stopped suddenly.

The only tungsten sand in Shanghai seems to be the goods hoarded by merchants. In fact, even if there are scattered ten or a few tons shipped from Waifu, they are immediately used by Chinese merchants waiting at the docks and stations.

Nearly 50% of the price higher than the export price was collected.

It seems that the whole of China is competing with businessmen from Western countries in tungsten sand.

Until this time, businessmen from various countries who had not received goods for several days and even felt that they might not receive goods for longer in the future were anxious. They went to the National Bureau of Commerce in Shanghai to complain to Chinese businessmen who were hoarding and speculating on mineral prices.

Behavior.

The Commerce Bureau, which has always treated them as masters and almost responded to their requests, this time started to play tricks on them. It started the so-called investigation and evidence collection with skilled Chinese Tai Chi Kung Fu, and then promised to crack down severely. Including those who have entered into a honeymoon relationship with China.

The importers of the Third Reich were no exception.

The higher the export price, the higher the tariff. The government officials are not stupid. They have privately received a lot of benefits from Shanghai businessmen and can also make a lot of money for the government and gain political achievements. Where can such good things be found?

As for China’s hype about the price of tungsten sand, that’s even more ridiculous. If you think the price is high, you don’t have to buy it. Is it the same in Australia? When did it become stipulated that it is wrong to raise the price of Chinese products?

This group of Western importers, almost all of whom have national backgrounds, are of course anxious. It’s not like they have never seen the efficiency of the Chinese. It will probably take several months for them to wait until their so-called investigation and evidence collection is completed before they carry out severe crackdowns.

Come on!

The huge ship parked in the offshore can only wait a few months to pay off the huge losses. The key is that the domestic demand for tungsten sand is very large, especially for ordnance. The factory cannot wait for this to shut down! The loss is not just money.

So simple.

If at this time, importers from various countries were like overheated ants still looking for countermeasures to deal with Chinese businessmen, then a telexed newspaper from the other side of the ocean was the straw that broke the camel's back.

When a senior general from the British Army responded to a reporter who asked about the importance of minerals, he stated his point of view very seriously and solemnly: Special mines are almost as important to national defense as oil. The sun never sets on the Empire.

Heavy troops should be deployed in their territories in Asia to protect the empire's demand for war resources such as special mines and oil.

This is the first time that a senior military official has elevated special minerals such as tungsten sand to a strategic level.

If we were talking about it in normal times, it would be fine. Even if all kinds of special minerals in the Western world rose in response, they soared by 158% in just two days. The purchase price per ton increased from two days ago.

From 1,000 U.S. dollars, it has increased to 2,580 U.S. dollars, almost reaching one-half of the peak of tungsten sand in the last world war.

Yes, the tungsten sand purchased in the Chinese market was only over 400 U.S. dollars, which was almost double the international price and was a bargain. However, China, which lacks commercial ships that can cross thousands of miles of oceans, can only swallow its sales.

The sharp rise in purchase prices in the Western international market has dumbfounded the middlemen who are still holding on. If they can no longer receive tungsten sand from China, I am afraid it will be more than just bankrupt. The will of the country is not that controlled.

It was against the rules, especially for the middlemen of the Third Reich. If Mustache was to attack, he might even be afraid of it.

As a result, businessmen from Western countries quickly started negotiations with the Shanghai Tungsten Sand Commercial and Trade Alliance.

When Chinese businessmen started hoarding tungsten sand crazily, most of them just wanted to make a small profit by taking advantage of the academic expositions of geologists. In a short period of time, they could make money using their own vision and wisdom.

A profit of 10 to 20% is not very satisfying.

However, as the curtain was lifted little by little, starting from the accident in the "Guangdong-Han Company" mine, one wave of unrest occurred one after another, one after another. The final result was that the whole of China seemed to be unable to mine.

Behind the incident, it was like there was an invisible big hand controlling everything. What is even more shocking is that everything seemed to be completely unrelated and reasonable, but the final result was that all the tungsten sand was in the hands of the Chinese.

inside.

As for the foreign hair, there is not a single hair on it.

This frightens the highly sensitive businessmen, but now they are on a tightrope. No matter who starts selling at lower prices to foreign merchants, the only consequence will be to be squeezed out of this circle, or to be favored by that group that can stir up the country.

The big hands in the tungsten ore market crushed it to pieces.

No one doubts that the energy that may not exist in a big hand, whether it is Du Yuesheng, Li Guoqin or the big guys entrenched in Guangdong, they cannot match.

Since we can't get off the pirate ship, we can only fight hard. Let's fight against the foreign merchants together.

The establishment of the Tungsten Sand Trade Alliance is proof of the unity of everyone. Smart businessmen are well aware of the power of foreigners. They are not only rich, but also have deep national backgrounds. If they put pressure on the government, the government will be very powerful.

It may not be able to withstand the pressure from the Western world. The big boss hiding behind the scenes may be fine, but businessmen like them may suffer.

Only by forming an alliance and concentrating everyone's efforts can they win the final victory. Especially the news about the surge in tungsten mines and other rare minerals from across the ocean gave them reassurance. It turned out that this was not done by anyone.

Operational, but with advance news, prepare to make a lot of money.

Zhou Chunwen, director of the Mining Department of Huashang Group, who had the largest hoard of tungsten sand this time, originally owned by them plus 200 tons acquired during this period, was elected as the president of the China Tungsten Sand Trade and Business Alliance and presided over this meeting with foreign countries.

businessmen’s negotiations.

The specific content of the negotiations is unknown, but during the two-day negotiations, Chairman Zhou's calm and calm demeanor, always smiling, really impressed the Chinese businessmen.

You will always hear one number from his mouth: $2,500.

The exaggerated figures can almost make the hearts of Chinese businessmen stop. Compared with their average purchase price of US$300, Chairman Zhou actually increased the price by 8 times, which is also a roundabout way.

In the international market of tungsten sand, due to a sudden shortage in the largest Chinese market, the price rose again. Within two days of negotiation between the two parties, the price climbed to US$2,700.

"Tomorrow, we will be in line with the international market." At the moment when the negotiations were about to come to an end, Chairman Zhou said lightly and prepared to leave the negotiation venue.

Of course, he couldn't leave.

Because the foreigners surrendered.

The month-long tungsten sand dispute has come to an end.

Chinese businessmen were victorious.

Huashang Group made a total of 440,000 U.S. dollars, more than 1 million silver dollars, from this sum alone. This does not include Du Yuesheng's investment of 400,000 dollars in cash that should have been distributed to Liu Lang as dividends, and also earned 2 million dollars.

.Of course, all this money became the military resources of the independent regiment.

The moment she received the news, the little foreign girl, who was accustomed to huge wealth, couldn't help but widen her eyes.

The speed at which you make money is comparable to a money printing machine!

Moreover, the most important thing is not how much money Huashang Group can make, but the price of tungsten sand in China has increased several times since then. Although in the end, with the intervention of Western governments, the Chinese government made appropriate concessions, the price has also increased from the past.

The price of more than 400 U.S. dollars has risen to more than half of the international price, which can be regarded as a ruthless killing of those guys who like to take advantage of the situation.

Liu Lang's loud laughter echoed across the vast sea, startling a group of seagulls pecking at bread crumbs on the bow of the boat.
