Horiuchi Yujo was indeed entrusted by the coal merchants to force Chen Mingxiang to end the coal price war as soon as possible, but the entruster was not the Shanghai coal merchants. They did not have the qualifications. It was Mitsui, Mitsubishi and other chaebols who controlled the industry who came forward to make this happen.
this negotiation.
Coal prices in Shanghai must be stable and social unrest cannot occur. This is the will of the military and cabinet. No one can defy it, and the plutocrats do not dare to cause trouble. This is Horiuchi's bottom line in the city.
As for the coal market share, it depends on Chen Mingxiang’s ability. With so much initial investment, it is impossible to give up.
President Hirano of Japan Dahu Gas Co., Ltd., President Okamoto of Carboniferous Federation, President Yamashita of Yamashita Mining Co., Ltd., and President Noguchi of Toa Mining Co., Ltd. do not have any representatives of Chinese businessmen.
The selfish character of Japanese businessmen is fully demonstrated at this moment. When they encounter problems, they first consider their own interests. As for the profiteers in the Shanghai coal industry who follow them to make national fortunes, is it none of their business whether they live or die?
"Chen Jun can come up with a way to replace the sales of briquettes with coal sales to avoid insufficient production capacity. Chen Jun is really clever and scheming. Aren't you worried about the plutocratic power behind our imperial merchants?"
"We are the support of the empire's cause. The war can continue because of us. Our status and status will never be comparable. As long as we talk, you have to talk obediently. Don't you understand this truth?" President Okamoto said gloomily.
said.
"It's a pity that the imperial government and the military hope to see a base with stable order and a large amount of war supplies for the empire, but you businessmen have become a stumbling block to this hope!"
"What I see with my eyes is that the people of Shanghai hate you, the city government hates you, the cabinet and the military hate you. When you get to this point, you don't need to use psychological tactics, right?"
"If you are not convinced, please stop talking and continue this pattern. Anyway, I don't care. How much coal comes can be converted into cash flow in a few days. I am not short of money. I won't be short of money for months or years."
Question, can you hold on?" Chen Mingxiang took out a cigar.
This is the last struggle of the Japanese coal merchants, who want to use false pretenses to coerce and induce them to get more benefits. Indeed, they are working hard behind the scenes, and the Consul General in Shanghai speaks for them. This is an advantage and capital.
It was the first time that Ren Ji saw this kind of negotiation with a Japanese businessman. He felt a little excited and hurriedly took out a lighter from his bag and lit it for Chen Mingxiang.
And because she was attending a cocktail party, she wore an elegant winter thickened cheongsam today. The collar and cuffs were velvet-edged. She had a unique and charming style, which was a feast for the eyes of these Japanese businessmen.
"Chen Jun, let's be direct. What conditions do you plan to offer us?" President Hirano said.
"Starting from March 1st, all your briquette shops in Shanghai must sell briquettes at 30 yuan per load. This is the bottom line of the city government and the bottom line of the garrison headquarters. Is there no problem with this?"
Chen Mingxiang said.
"Okay, it will be limited to three months for the time being, and we will discuss it then." President Hirano said.
"I want to get 100,000 tons of physical coal from you to make up for the 100,000 tons I sold. Give me 50,000 tons first, and the remaining 50,000 tons will be transferred to me from Kailuan Coal Mine in North China. It will be completed before the year.
The central reserve certificate is 600 yuan per ton. No need to distinguish, I know the coal in your coal yard, at least 80,000 tons." Chen Mingxiang said.
Although there is a coal shortage in Shanghai, the real situation is that coal merchants have a large amount of coal in their hands, and 80,000 tons is less than that.
Chen Mingxiang plans to use negotiations to directly transfer the coal from these merchants, which can also save time and transportation costs.
"I can't accept this condition. I don't care about the price, but coal transportation is the biggest problem now. We also need to rely on this coal to support production and sales. I promise to give you a quota of 100,000 tons. You can go to Kailuan Coal Mine by yourself.
Bring it back." President Hirano refused.
"You have at least two million tons of briquettes in reserve, plus 30,000 tons of coal, which is enough to last for half a year. What's the use of having so much coal? It also takes up working capital!" Chen Mingxiang said.
"The sales volume of briquettes in the Shanghai market is calculated based on one million tons. How did you calculate the accounts in half a year? Tell me, it seems there is some explanation!" said President Okamoto.
"I now have sixty briquette shops, with a monthly sales of 600,000 tons. This is the most basic. The briquette factory in Jincheng and the briquette factory in Shanghai, you know well, this output can be achieved, the market share
I want to occupy 60%!" Chen Mingxiang said.
"Your family accounts for 60%, and we, who are more than 30, only account for 40%. They say that a lion has a big mouth, but you really dare to say that!" President Okamoto's face changed.
Lianmei Hao is composed of 12 Japanese businessmen and 22 Chinese businessmen. If they only account for 40%, the monthly sales of one company is actually equal to that of Chen Mingxiang's briquette shop. This is too bullying.
"Don't be impatient yet. Thirty-four Lianmei companies distribute one million metric tons of briquettes. One of them has a sales volume of less than 30,000 metric tons and a profit of only 300,000 yuan. If you have reached this level of monopoly business, I will give it a try.
I blush for you, do you understand what a monopoly is?"
"Since I have joined this industry with enough resources, I don't need so many Chinese businessmen. Twelve Japanese businessmen are too many. We must work together to reshuffle the industry in order to obtain the greatest benefits."
"Except for me, the entire Shanghai stock market has a maximum of six Japanese businessmen, including you, and a maximum of four Chinese businessmen. This number is enough. With more wolves and less meat, no one can have enough to eat. Do you think it's interesting?" Chen Mingxiang said.
Ling Ji was stunned when she heard this. She couldn't even think about it. Chen Mingxiang actually proposed such harsh conditions and wanted to reshuffle the entire coal industry in Shanghai and force 24 coal merchants to close down.
Oh my gosh, this is so exciting!
"Theoretically, this makes sense, but we can't agree to your exclusive 60% share. You have 40% and we have 60%. This is a reasonable distribution method!" President Hirano said.
Japanese businessmen do not have much objection to the monopoly method explained by Chen Mingxiang. This is an act led by the cabinet and the military. It is reasonable for those who lack strength to withdraw from the market. When unity is external, when it comes to interests, this definition does not exist.
.
"I don't even know what to say to you. Only if I occupy 60% of the market share, will the cabinet and the military department be reassured, the garrison headquarters, the consulate general in Shanghai and the gendarmerie headquarters in Shanghai will be reassured, and the city government will be relieved.
Don’t worry, you don’t have to force me to make it clear!”
"You have criminal records, and you can only cooperate in this way in a short period of time. This ratio does not depend on me, but is the result of your own doing!" Chen Mingxiang said.
