After Xu Rui said calm down, the financial owners and shopkeepers on the third floor became quiet.
Seeing that the third floor was quiet, the small financial owners on the second floor and the shopkeepers of small shops on the first floor who were shouting more fiercely also closed their mouths and began to listen to Xu Rui's speech.
Xu Rui smiled slightly and said: "It's like this. There is only one tea road to Su, but the Chinese Chamber of Commerce is not just the Baotou Chamber of Commerce. Not to mention the whole of China, even in Suiyuan, there is also the Guisui Chamber of Commerce."
After saying this, Xu Rui said to Fu Zuoyi: "Sir Fu, if the wealthy owners and big shopkeepers of the Guisui Chamber of Commerce knew that I was publicly auctioning the shares of the tea trading company at the Hongyun Restaurant, but did not notify them to participate, do you think they would
Are you scolding me behind my back that Xu Rui is not a good person, and won’t even let them drink soup from the merchants in Guisui?”
"That's for sure." Fu Zuoyi said without hesitation, because there was nothing wrong with Xu Rui's words.
Although Guisui merchants and Baotou merchants belong to two different chambers of commerce, they still belong to the category of Shanxi merchants after all, and they often work together to do business. When the tea trade was booming in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the two families also sold tea together. Now
The tea road is monopolized by the soon-to-be-established Baotou Tea Trading Company, and the merchants in Guisui are already full of complaints. If they find out that Xu Rui is auctioning the company's shares without notifying them, they will be surprised if they don't curse behind his back.
"So." Xu Rui turned back to Ma Gongfu and other wealthy people, and the shopkeeper spread his hands.
Ma Gongfu said: "So what Captain Xu means is to find another time to auction the shares, and at the same time notify the merchants in Guisui to come to Baotou to participate in the auction?"
If you ask yourself directly, Ma Gongfu certainly doesn't want to get involved with Guisui merchants.
The rest of the financial owners and shopkeepers were even more reluctant to let Guisui merchants participate, because if one more person participated, one more person would share the profits. Why should they bring the tea business to Guisui if the Baotou Chamber of Commerce can do it alone?
Chamber of Commerce? You need to know that the matter of clearing the Baotou Tea Road has nothing to do with the Guisui Chamber of Commerce.
However, what Xu Rui auctioned was the shares of his Chahar Independent Group. They could sell to whomever they wanted, but the Baotou Chamber of Commerce had no right to intervene.
Until now, the merchants in Baotou headed by Ma Gongfu just thought that Xu Rui hoped to bring in merchants from Guisui to check and balance their merchants in Baotou. If there were any conflicts between merchants in the two places, Xu Rui could act as a mediator to mediate the situation.
You can get benefits from both sides. Don’t those in power like to play this trick?
Merchants in Baotou can also understand this.
However, this time they were really wrong. They underestimated Xu Rui's appetite.
What Xu Rui wants is not just to introduce merchants from Guisui to the tea trading company. What he really wants is to introduce famous merchants from all over China to the tea trading company, because even a fool can see that as long as the tea road continues
, this tea trading company will definitely make a profit, and the profits will be huge!
So once Xu Rui makes the news of the auction of shares public, businesses from all over China will definitely come in droves!
It is said that it takes three thousand nails to break a ship. Although China's mountains and rivers are broken, there are still many wealthy merchants. Among other things, the wealth owned by the Shanxi merchants Kong Xiangxi and the old Kong family is absolutely astronomical. Kong Da
If the minister also participates in the auction, he can definitely drive the company's stock price to the sky!
When you readers see this, you should be able to guess it.
Yes, that’s right, Xu Rui’s scam is basically introducing the bidding mechanism of future generations!
The original stock of a high-quality company with excellent profit expectations will definitely be sought after by the market!
At that moment, Xu Rui waved his hands and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Mada has misunderstood me. I gave the example of the Guisui Chamber of Commerce. I did not mean to introduce Guisui merchants to participate in the auction. If I did, the Guisui merchants would be satisfied.
But what about the Shanxi Chamber of Commerce? What will the Chinese Chamber of Commerce think? I still have to be scolded for being ungrateful."
"Ga? Shanxi Chamber of Commerce?"
“You still want the Chinese Chamber of Commerce?”
"Mr. Xu, what do you mean?"
"Do businesses across the country participate in the auction?"
"I'm afraid it won't be easy to operate."
"Mr. Xu doesn't believe in our Baotou Chamber of Commerce."
"Captain Xu, you are looking down on our Shanxi merchants!"
As soon as Xu Rui finished speaking, the whole restaurant immediately became noisy.
People are like this, they can do anything when profit comes first, and they dare to say anything. For the sake of profit, these wealthy people and shopkeepers immediately put aside the fear of the government, and spoke in high-sounding words one by one.
Several financial owners and shopkeepers even began to threaten to withdraw, and they also refused to recognize the military funds they had donated previously.
However, Ma Gongfu, who has an extremely keen business sense, has already smelled a strange smell.
At that moment, Ma Gongfu stomped the ground with his crutch and said sternly: "Shut up, everyone, and let Captain Xu finish what he said!"
Ma Gongfu was a legendary figure in Baotou. Seeing Ma Gongfu getting angry, the shopkeeper and the wealthy merchants who were present at the meeting fell silent, and the entire Hongyun Restaurant suddenly became so quiet that a pin drop could be heard.
Xu Rui smiled slightly and continued: "That's what I think about it. Although Baotou Tea Road is called Baotou Second Road, in essence, it actually belongs to all of China. Everyone here has no objection to this, right?
"
Including Ma Gongfu, all the wealthy owners and shopkeepers present at the meeting nodded in unison.
Damn it, Xu Rui is using such high-sounding principles to pressure us, and we are helpless.
Xu Rui continued: "Since Baotou Tea Trading Company is owned by all Chinese people, in theory, all Chinese people should be qualified to participate in the auction, right?"
No one agreed this time because it was too difficult to do.
Ma Gongfu stroked his beard and asked: "I dare to ask Commander Xu, how to operate it specifically? Let all Chinese people participate in the auction of the company's shares. It is theoretically feasible, but in practice it is almost impossible. It cannot be done.
Bring all 40 million people in China to Baotou?"
Xu Rui smiled slightly and said: "It is of course impossible to bring all the 450 million people in China to Baotou, not to mention all the Chinese people, even if we bring all the merchants in China who have the strength to participate in the auction, we will bring them to Baotou.
It’s absolutely impossible, but why can’t we think differently?”
"Change your thinking?" Ma Gongfu asked, "How?"
Xu Rui smiled slightly and said: "Let's open the auction in front of every citizen in China."
"What do you mean? Hold the auction in front of every citizen in China? How is that possible?"
"That is, there are 450 million people in China, living in dozens of provinces and thousands of counties, and there are countless towns and villages below. How many auctions will be held?"
“With so many auctions, how can we control costs?”
"The key is not the cost, the key is not being able to synchronize."
"It's a fantasy, it's a fantasy."
As soon as Xu Rui finished speaking, the entire Hongyun Restaurant was in a panic again.
Although Ma Gongfu was old, the businessman's sense of smell was old and sharp. He was the first to react. He immediately picked up the crutch in his hand and stamped the floor continuously, and said sternly: "Be quiet, be quiet!"
Ma Gongfu became angry again, and Cai Dong and the shopkeeper became sternly silent again.
When the scene calmed down, Ma Gongfu asked Xu Rui again: "May I ask Captain Xu how to operate it specifically?"
"As for the specific operation, I only have a preliminary idea at the moment." Xu Rui said modestly, but in fact, he had already made up his mind, because this is not a preliminary idea, but a direct reference to the maturity of later generations.
There is absolutely no problem with the plans and possibilities.
After a slight pause, Xu Rui continued: "First, set up a bidding secretariat in Baotou, which will be fully responsible for the auction of the company's shares, and then, through major newspapers across the country, such as Shenbao, Ta Kung Pao, Xinhua Daily, Suiyuan Daily, etc.
, the bidding information is released to the whole country, and anyone who is interested in participating in the Baotou tea trade and has a certain level of strength, whether they are merchants from Shanxi, Huizhou or Zhejiang, can participate in the auction."
Hearing this, the financial owners and shopkeepers present were all dumbfounded.
Can the auction still be operated like this? Damn, it’s such a magical operation!
Ma Gongfu discovered the problem and frowned: "The question is, how can foreign merchants participate in the auction?"
"The specific specifications are as follows." Xu Rui continued, "If a foreign businessman wants to participate in the auction, he can send a bidding telegram to the bidding secretariat, stating the amount of shares he is bidding on and the price. At the same time, he
You must also pay an equal amount of security deposit at the nearest Eighth Route Army Eighth Affairs Office."
Ma Gongfu asked in astonishment: "Deposit?"
"That's right, the deposit." Xu Rui said, "Only when the merchant pays the deposit to the Eighth Route Army Office, and the Eighth Route Army Office issues a receipt of the deposit to the Bidding Secretariat, will the merchant's bid be truly valid and his bidding behavior will be counted.
Enter the auction process.
For example, if Huang Caidong from Chongqing bids 50,000 yuan for 50,000 shares, he must first pay a deposit of 50,000 yuan to the Eighth Route Army Office in Chongqing, and then send a bidding telegram to the bidding secretariat, and then the bidding secretariat will collect the money.
Huang Caidong's bidding will be included in the process only after receiving the receipt from the Eighth Route Army Office in Chongqing."
"But if the bidding is unsuccessful, will you refund the deposit?"
Immediately one Cai Dong asked, and the other Cai Dongs and shopkeepers also immediately pricked up their ears. This is very important.
"If the bidding fails, of course the deposit will be refunded in full." Xu Rui said with a smile, "Our Communist Party is poor, but we still have this credibility."
"I believe in your party." Ma Gongfu nodded and finally asked the last and most critical question, "But I have one last question. There are so many people and millions of businesses in China, but Baotou
The tea trading company has only 10 million shares in total, and your group has only put up 5 million shares for auction. If the total number of bids exceeds 5 million, it is almost certain. What will happen then?
"
Xu Rui smiled slightly and said: "It's simple, the one with the highest price gets it!"
