Chapter 1736 The picture is poor (seeking a monthly ticket)
Kong Lingkan is indeed making small moves.
In any case, the Kong family is a huge evil among Shanxi merchants. Kong Xiangxi is still very influential among the Shanxi merchants. Even a veteran figure like Ma Gongfu has to give Kong Xiangxi face, so on several occasions
After politely declining Kong Lingkan, Ma Gongfu still agreed to the invitation when Kong Lingkan came to visit him in person.
Today's dinner was specially prepared by Kong Lingkan.
After drinking for three rounds, Kong Lingkan stood up with a glass in his hand and said loudly: "Everyone here is Lingkan's father, even his grandfather, such as shopkeeper Ma Da. Even my father comes here, so you must be respectful.
I called him uncle, so when I came here this time, I was really scared, lest I could not do things well and lose the face of our Shanxi merchants."
I must admit that Kong Lingkan’s words were still very beautiful and very high-level.
At that moment, Ma Gongfu and the dozen or so big shopkeepers or wealthy people who had been invited to attend today's dinner stood up one after another, claiming that they did not dare. Master Kong lowered his attitude so naturally, they could not rely on their old age to show off.
Kong Lingkan added: "Thanks to the support of all uncles, uncles and seniors, I will tell you what I have to say directly."
After a pause, Kong Lingkan continued: "The reason why the National Government established the Baotou Tea Trading Company Share Bidding Council is not to pick peaches. I can responsibly tell you here that no matter what the result of the share bidding is, Baotou Tea Trading Company
Our management rights have always belonged to the Baotou Chamber of Commerce, and this will never change!"
Hearing this, many Baotou merchants present breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as the operating rights of the Baotou Tea Trading Company still belong to the Baotou Chamber of Commerce, then everything is fine, because as long as the operating rights still belong to the Baotou Chamber of Commerce, it means that a considerable part of the profits will be retained by the Baotou Chamber of Commerce, which means even more
, everyone here can get considerable benefits.
This businessman is all about profit.
In the face of interests, businesses can trample all laws in the world and ignore all justice in the world!
That’s why we say that businessmen or capitalists are the most unscrupulous and unworthy of trust!
Kong Lingkan added: "Then some people have to ask, what is the purpose of establishing this bidding committee?"
After a pause, Kong Lingkan continued: "Simply, the National Government established this bidding committee to maximize the price of Baotou Tea Trading Company's shares, and also to maximize the interests of everyone here, because as far as I know, everyone here is
All of you and the more than a thousand colleagues who were not present all have shares in the tea trading company, right?"
Immediately a businessman asked: "What does Mr. Kong mean by this? Can our shares be sold?"
"Of course you can, why can't you sell it?" Kong Lingkan spread his hands and said, "They are also shares of Baotou Tea Trading Company. Why can the five million shares belonging to the Chahar Independent Group be sold, but the five million shares belonging to you cannot be sold?
?This is unfair, there is no such thing in the world, right?"
"Whoever says otherwise is discriminating against us!"
"Yes, this is the Communist Party engaging in discrimination."
"It has nothing to do with the Communist Party. It's just Xu Rui who discriminates against us."
"It's okay now. Now Master Kong finally speaks for us."
"Master Kong, you must speak up for our Baotou Chamber of Commerce."
"Yes, yes, we merchants in Baotou are also members of Shanxi merchants. Our Cao family and your Kong family are family friends. Your father and I have even had drinks at the same table."
Kong Lingkan's words immediately aroused the greed of many businessmen and wealthy people.
There were more than a dozen people present, but only Ma Gongfu and shopkeeper Hou Da from Wei Zi Sixian Co., Ltd. did not speak because they had far-sighted vision and knew very well that Baotou Tea Trading Company had great potential. This was simply a hen that could lay golden eggs, so even if
The Baotou Tea Trading Company's stock price has increased tenfold, and it has no intention of selling it.
"Seniors, please listen to what I have to say." Kong Lingkan pressed his hands repeatedly to signal everyone to calm down. When the private room fell silent again, he said again, "Seniors, please listen to what I have to say first. That's it.
Yes, the shares can definitely be sold. This is your right. Even if our Kong family does not belong to the Shanxi merchant group, I will definitely do my best to fight for you here. You can rest assured about this."
Ma Gongfu and Shopkeeper Hou Da looked at each other, and the key point should come next.
As expected, Kong Lingkan continued: "However, as far as I know, Xu Rui is not an easy person to deal with. Since he has said that he will not allow Baotou merchants who hold shares to sell their shares, then he must be given a
Explain, so we may have to think of a workaround."
Someone asked: "May I ask Master Kong, what kind of workaround can you use?"
"It's very simple." After laying the groundwork, Kong Lingkan finally revealed his hidden true intention. After looking around, he continued, "We, the Kong family, can come forward to take the shares in your hands. If Xu Rui asks, you just tell me
Our Kong family has a debt dispute, and the price has been paid to our Kong family."
After a pause, Kong Lingkan continued: "If you are not allowed to sell it, are you still not allowed to mortgage it to others? Even if you, Xu Rui, are the local emperor of Baotou now, you cannot prohibit others from using shares to pay off debts."
The dagger appeared, and Kong Lingkan finally showed his fangs.
It's just that the Baotou merchants here have not yet clearly seen the situation they are facing.
Since arriving in Baotou, Kong Lingkan has not even been to the headquarters of the Chahar Independent Regiment once, and has no intention of meeting Wang Husheng. Instead, he has been making appointments with Baotou merchants. He has only one purpose in doing so.
, before starting the public bidding for the shares of Baotou Tea Trading Company, first buy the five million shares held by Baotou merchants at a low price.
Kong Lingkan completely inherited his father's nature, and was even more greedy than his father Kong Xiangxi. If this matter was left to Kong Xiangxi, he would definitely eat up the five million shares held by the Baotou merchants in advance, but in
In terms of price, I guess it won't be too much of a disadvantage. After all, we are from the same hometown. If you really offend me, it will be difficult to see each other in the future.
Kong Lingkan did not intend to do this. Not only did he want to buy all the shares, he also wanted to buy them at a low price.
Kong Lingkan originally planned to deal with small merchants, but after contact, he found that it was extremely difficult. The small merchants in Baotou were all looking at the big merchants. They refused to take action until the big merchants took action, so Kong Lingkan immediately turned around and
The target is the big merchants in Baotou, that's why we have this banquet tonight.
Regarding Kong Lingkan's proposal, except for Ma Gongfu and Hou Da, the other dozen or so big shopkeepers or wealthy people were a little tempted. To put it bluntly, although these big shopkeepers or wealthy people did not say it with their mouths, they were deeply concerned about China's war of resistance.
They have no confidence in the overall situation, and they simply do not believe that China can really defeat Japan.
In other words, Suiyuan will eventually be lost, and Baotou will eventually be lost.
In other words, Baotou Tea Trading Company will only be in business for one or two years at most, and will eventually have to stop operations.
By that time, Baotou Tea Trading Company will be dead and their shares will be worthless.
However, Xu Rui made a request that they were not allowed to sell their shares in the Baotou Tea Trading Company within five years. This would almost cut off their financial resources. Due to the army in Xu Rui's hands, they did not dare to resist, but now Kong Lingkan proposed
How can they not be tempted to accept the shares they hold?
At that moment, a wealthy man asked: "May I ask Master Kong, this price..."
The other dozen or so big shopkeepers or wealthy businessmen immediately pricked up their ears after hearing this.
"Well." Kong Lingkan said with a slight smile, "That's it. Regarding the situation in Suiyuan, everyone here must also know clearly. China's strength is not at the same level as Japan, so Suiyuan will definitely be lost in the end. Baotou
It will definitely fall in the end, but optimistic estimates suggest that Baotou can hold on for three years."
After a pause, Kong Lingkan continued: "If we are pessimistic, we will hold on for half a year. This means that Baotou Tea Trading Company is likely to close down in half a year, so it is really hard to say how valuable the company's shares are.
Yes, but all of you here are my elders, and I can’t let you suffer too much, right?”
"Yes, yes." More than a dozen merchants nodded in succession, "Young Master Kong is still benevolent and righteous."
"Let's do this." Kong Lingkan said as if he was cutting meat, "Just for a small price, our Kong family will buy all the shares you hold." After a pause, Kong Lingkan explained specifically, "Seniors, please don't
If you think I am deliberately lowering the price, I hope you will think about it. Once Baotou is lost, your shares will be worthless immediately!"
All the big shopkeepers and wealthy businessmen present here were all dumbfounded. They had already guessed that Kong Lingkan could not offer a high price, but they never expected that he would offer such a ridiculously low price! A dime of the price? One-tenth of the original price?
Your mother, why don’t you go grab the money? You don’t bully people like this.
Seeing that no shopkeeper or financial owner said anything, Kong Lingkan said again: "It seems that the elders still think that my price is too low and are unwilling to transfer the shares. In this case, forget it. You and I are willing to do business, and we can't buy or sell by force."
Right? Then let’s not talk about this matter today, just drink, come on, drink.”
Kong Lingkan still had some tricks, and he still knew how to play hard to get.
To put it bluntly, he knows his trump cards, but the merchants in Baotou don’t, so he doesn’t have to worry about them not being able to win!
After a pause, Kong Lingkan continued: "I might as well give you some information. Ever since Xu Rui published the public bidding news in major newspapers, the response from various places has not been enthusiastic, and almost no one has bid. The reason why the National Government
We will set up such a special bidding committee. On the one hand, we are unwilling to give up all our interests to the Communist Party, and on the other hand, we want to clean up the mess and not let Xu Rui, a prodigal, sell his shares at a low price."
