Chapter 673 The surrendered foreign business
The supply of tungsten sand, which accounts for 90% of the kingdom, suddenly stopped. Whether it was officially permitted or quietly in Chirongzhou, it almost suddenly stopped supplying.
The tungsten sand in the entire Haicheng seemed to be left with the goods hoarded by merchants. In fact, even if there were still ten or several tons of scattered shipments from the outside Fu, the kingdom merchants who were waiting at the docks and stations were collected at the first time at a price of nearly 50% higher than the export price.
It seemed as if the entire kingdom was competing with merchants from all over the world on tungsten sand.
Until this time, merchants from all over the country who had not received the goods for several days and who had even felt that they might not receive the goods for a longer time in the future were anxious and went to the Kingdom Commerce Bureau to complain about the act of illegal merchants who hoarded and speculated on mineral prices.
The Bureau of Commerce, which has always regarded them as an old man, began to be careless this time, and started the so-called investigation and evidence collection with skillful kingdom-style Tai Chi kung fu, and then cracked down on it. Including the importers of Zhouhui Kingdom, who have already entered a honeymoon relationship with the kingdom, are no exception.
The higher the export price, the higher the tariffs. The officials of the kingdom are not stupid. They privately take over the benefits of Haicheng merchants and can also make a lot of money for the government to achieve political achievements. Where can I find such a beautiful thing?
As for what the Kingdom speculates on the price of tungsten sand, it is even more funny. Do you think the price is high and you can't buy it. When is it stipulated that it is wrong to increase the price of products in my Kingdom?
Of course, these foreign importers with almost all national backgrounds are anxious. They have seen the efficiency of the kingdom people's work. When they have completed their so-called investigation and evidence collection, they will be cracking down on it. It will probably take a few months to go through!
It would be fine if the giant ships parked near the sea were waiting for a few months to suffer huge losses. The key is that the domestic demand for tungsten sand is very large, especially in terms of military ordnance. Factory cannot wait for this to stop work! The loss is not just as simple as money.
If importers from various countries were already like ants who were getting hot at this time, they were still looking for solutions to deal with the kingdom merchants, the telexed newspaper from that completely became the last straw that broke the camel's back.
When answering a question about the importance of minerals by an uninteresting reporter, a senior general from the Dark Yuan Empire's army seriously and solemnly stated his point of view: the importance of special mines to national defense is almost no less than that of oil. The Dark Yuan Empire should send heavy troops to its territory in Dongzhou to protect the empire's demand for special mines and oil, such as war resources.
This is the first time that a senior military official has raised special mines such as tungsten sand to a strategic level.
It would be fine if it was just a normal talk. Even if various special mines in the foreign world rose, they soared by 158% in just two days, almost reaching half of the highest peak of tungsten sand.
The purchase price of foreign international markets has risen sharply, which has made the middlemen who are still holding on to the ground collectively stunned. If we cannot receive tungsten sand from the kingdom, it may be more than just bankruptcy. The will of the country is not so violated, especially for the middlemen of the middlemen of the Zhouhui Kingdom. When the king of the Zhouhui Kingdom starts, he may even be afraid of himself.
Therefore, businessmen from various countries quickly started negotiations with the Haicheng Tungsten Sand Commercial Trade Alliance.
When the kingdom merchants began to hoard tungsten sand crazily, most merchants only wanted to take advantage of the trend of geological masters to explain the academic trend, make a small profit, and use their vision and wisdom to make ten to twenty percent of the profits. This is simply too cool.
However, as the curtain was opened little by little, from the accident in the "Mining Company" mine, one wave after another was not settled, one after another, one after another. The final result was that the entire kingdom seemed to be unable to mine. Behind the whole thing, it was like an invisible big hand controlling everything. What was even more jaw-dropping is that everything seemed to be irrelevant and reasonable, but the final result was that tungsten sand was in the hands of the kingdom people.
And foreigners don't have a single hair.
This scares merchants with extremely sensitive terror, but now it is already a difficult situation. No matter who starts selling foreign merchants at first, the only consequence is to be squeezed out of this circle, or be crushed by the big hand that can stir up the national tungsten market.
No one doubted that the energy that might not exist in big hands, whether it was Lu Cong, Li Jukuang or the big guy entrenched in Jiangxin City, they were all unmatched.
Since we can't get off the pirate ship, we can only resist. We all fight against foreign merchants together.
The establishment of the Tungsten Sand Trade Alliance is a proof of the unity of everyone. The shrewd businessmen are very clear about the energy of foreigners. They are not only rich, but also have a deep national background. If they put pressure on the government, the government may not be able to withstand the pressure from the foreign world. The big boss hidden behind the scenes may be fine, and these businessmen may suffer.
Only by forming an alliance and concentrating everyone's strength can we win this final victory, especially the news of the surge in tungsten ore and other rare minerals, which made them feel relieved. It turned out that this was not done by anyone, but with advance news, we were ready to earn a lot of money from foreigners.
As the most tungsten sand hoarded this time, some of them were originally from the merchant group, and Wang Zhihong, the Minister of Mining Department of the Merchant Group, who acquired up to 200 tons during this period, was elected as the president of the Wangguo Tungsten Sand Trade Commercial Alliance and presided over the negotiations with foreign merchants.
The specific content of the negotiation is unknown, but during the two-day negotiations, President Zhou's always smiling and calm demeanor really impressed the businessmen of the Kingdom.
Only one number will be heard from his mouth: 2500.
Exaggerated numbers can almost stop the heartbeat of the kingdom merchants. Compared with their average purchase price of 300, President Zhou actually increased the price by 8 times, and even turned around.
The price of the tungsten sand international market suddenly ran out of stock due to the largest kingdom market. The price rose again. After two days of negotiation between the two sides, the price reached 2,700.
"We will be in line with the international market tomorrow." President Zhou said lightly and prepared to leave the negotiation venue when the negotiation was about to end without success.
Of course, he couldn't leave.
Because, foreigners surrendered.
The tungsten sand dispute, which spans a month, has come to an end.
The merchants of the kingdom won a great victory.
The merchant group made a total of 440,000 yuan, more than one million silver coins. This did not include the investment of 400,000 yuan in cash that Lu Cong should have paid Liu Lang with the dividends, and also made 2 million silver coins. Of course, all of this money became the military capital of the independent group.
The moment I received this news, the little foreign girl, who was already commonplace with huge wealth, couldn't help but widen her eyes.
The speed of making money is comparable to a money printing machine!
Moreover, the most important thing is not how much money the merchant group can make, the price of tungsten sand in the entire Kingdom has increased several times since then. Although the kingdom government finally made appropriate concessions with the intervention of foreign governments, the price has also increased from more than 400 in the past to more than half of the international price, which can be regarded as a severe blow to those guys who like to take advantage of the situation.
