Chapter 777 Battle for the Coal Market Five

"Mingxiang, this is too ridiculous, are they shameless? Today is the opening ceremony of our Yuchang Coal Company, one by one is blowing endlessly. This is regarded as a political speech?" Li quietly asked Chen Mingxiang.

"Although you are extremely smart, you are still not in the officialdom. Who are these people who are talking? Can you mix up to your current status, which one is simple?"

"On the one hand, this shows the support and emphasis on me and Yuchang Coal Company. On the other hand, it is an explanation of the upper and lower sides. The coal shortage problem has attracted the attention of the Jinling government and the Japanese Koya Institute. It is normal to express your position. Didn’t you see so many reporters taking pictures and recording content?"

"Aji, you have to remember one thing. This group of people is not that simple in doing anything. The weird phenomena you see often have deep meanings. Learn it carefully. You are still far away. !" Chen Mingxiang whispered in her ear.

When the time came to 11:30, the ribbon-cutting ceremony officially began. A group of senior Japanese generals and Chen Gongbo walked up the steps to cut the red silk. There was thunderous applause around them, and then they went to the banquet place to drink and eat.

The reporters all evacuated the scene and went to various briquettes to conduct interviews and take pictures. It took half an hour to talk about it a bit nervously.

At twelve o’clock, the steward and the guys of the briquettes shop started to sell coal on a scale. This time they participated in the yards of 20 briquettes shops and five briquettes factories. Money picks coal.

It doesn't need to be too cumbersome. Every ten households is one A, and Chief A pays five tons of briquettes, which is one hundred and twenty-five yuan, and he goes home to share it.

Chen Mingxiang’s ten stores, each of which has ten scales, sells 300 tals of briquettes per hour, and 3,600 tals of briquettes every day. It is estimated that the first batch of briquettes will be sold within three days, and it will be refilled again for a total of one week. .

"They really want to play yin. Just received news from the brethren that all the coal briquettes under Lianmei's self-operated shops have stopped selling. The external argument is that the supply of goods is insufficient." Zhang Jinlu leaned close to Chen Mingxiang and said.

This is at the banquet of Wang Baohe restaurant. Chen Mingxiang's table is in the private room on the second floor. All those who have seats are big figures who stomped the Shanghai stock market, including senior Japanese generals, consul general and Chen Gongbo.

Commercial wars are also wars, and intelligence comes first. Chen Mingxiang directly used the resources of the secret agent headquarters to order his subordinates to monitor Union Coal's briquettes shop. He never despised his opponents, even if he had a killer in his hand.

Zhang Jinlu is just a small character in the Shanghai Stock Exchange Experimental Zone of the secret agent headquarters. Her seat is in the lobby on the first floor, and she has to come over and report to Chen Mingxiang.

"Chen Jun, what happened?" Ota Taiji, who was sitting next to him, asked curiously.

"Your Excellency, this is the case. The intelligence personnel of our secret agent headquarters reported that the coal briquettes shop of Lianmei has closed and stopped selling. This is to force 200,000 users to Yuchang Coal Company to buy coal. Our supply pressure." Chen Mingxiang said.

The expressions of several senior Japanese generals on the scene did not change, and they all knew Chen Mingxiang’s coping strategy. The briquettes sales were just cover, and the real killer move would not come until three days later, and they would not be released for a short time. Fight for market share yourself.

"Is Lianmei's inventory pressure great?" Yanze Qingxuan asked with a smile.

He came up with the idea for Chen Mingxiang to carry out the raid. Unexpectedly, Chen Mingxiang did a better job and solved the problem directly by using coal. Therefore, he admires this guy very much. The Shanghai stock market really needs such a person to be responsible for disrupting the situation. Restrictions warn those chaebols who do not follow the rules.

The question he asked is also very critical. Even if the chaebols have money, the financial pressure caused by hoarding is uncomfortable. The production of briquettes naturally requires costs, which on the surface does not seem to be much, but this stuff is calculated in 10,000 tons. of!

"Your Excellency, according to my investigation, in order to cover the monthly sales of up to 1 million tens of coal briquettes in the Shanghai stock market, more than 30 union coal companies have to import 50,000 tons of coal from North China every month. The long-term only entry and no exit also resulted in insufficient liquidity."

"Their reserves of briquettes are not large, maybe only about 2 million catties, but the coal has been hoarded for at least four months, even if the price is low, it is not less than 500 yuan a ton, they do not have coal from Xingya Institute. The subsidy policy also has to bear the imperial army’s military expenditure in central China, which is 20 million."

"I speculate that their minimum capital of 100 million yuan is occupied. This is real money and liquidity. Although they are more than 30, they can't bear such a heavy burden." Chen Mingxiang said.

"Your plan is to last until December, and there are still three months left. This scene is not easy to perform!" Yanze Qingxuan said.

If Chen Mingxiang wants to complete the supply of one million quintals, he must be at least in late November. This gap will lead to two months. There will not be enough briquettes on the Shanghai market. The consequences of this will also be caused by the Xingya Institute. worried.

"Your Excellency, since I dare to use such a trick and accept the heavy responsibility given by the empire, I have a way to survive. This stems from the survey of consumption. Why do I give each family a quota of half a load of briquettes instead of daily Need a load of briquettes?"

"The total consumption of the Shanghai stock market is one million quintals of briquettes. I force the citizens to use only 500,000 quintals of briquettes a month. This is because it is not yet winter, and half a quintal of briquettes can fully support one month's life. It’s better to eat a few warm meals than to cook without briquettes, right?"

"To be honest, the public should be satisfied with this phenomenon before the arrival of winter, and the price is still cheap. At this time, they can still enjoy such benefits. There is nothing to complain about."

"But it won't work in January. Although the Shanghai stock market is in the south, the temperature is still very low. If you can't buy enough briquettes, there will be big problems." Chen Mingxiang said.

Hearing Chen Mingxiang’s strategy, a table of people suddenly appreciated Chen Mingxiang’s strategy. Every move this guy made was a well-thought-out method. According to his operations, those businessmen would surely even die in the end. Yes.

It’s not that Union Coal could not think of selling coal directly to break the situation, but that their thinking is a businessman’s mind, and they always seek to maximize their profits. In their eyes, Chen Mingxiang is also a businessman. How can they not make money without making briquettes? Those who sell coal, the profit here is at least 40% worse, it's all money!

No one thought that the price war in the coal market had just started, and Chen Mingxiang turned his attention to the salt market. The two thousand tons of salt sent from Jincheng Port would soon land on the Shanghai Stock Exchange and Central China.
