Chapter 622 10% preferential amount
Tanaka Precious Metals Company is also a long-established precious metal seller in Yuben, and decades of development and accumulation have made this company a veritable No. 1 seller of precious metals in Japan.
In the past, Tanaka Precious Metals Co., Ltd., like other gold sellers, did not take such an aggressive approach of underwriting gold mines, although they also bought goods from abroad. However, when Abe came to power in 2012, he used inflationary economic measures to force the yen to depreciate in order to boost the economic growth of the capital.
Abe's actions have caused the yen to depreciate rapidly, and although it is beneficial to the large companies in Japan, it is a disaster for the people of Japan.
Originally, you could buy two bowls of ramen for 10,000 yen, but now that you Abe is on stage, you can only buy one and a half bowls of ramen for 10,000 yen, is this worth it?
As a result, the common people began to set their sights on gold, a precious metal with strong value preservation, and began a round of gold rush that was almost comparable to that of Huaxia Aunt.
Before 2013, Tanaka Precious Metals sold about 30 tons of gold a year, but in 2013, the sales volume rose by 25% to 37 tons, and the following year in 2014, this figure is still growing rapidly.
According to this growth rate, it is obviously not suitable for Tanaka Precious Metals Company to take goods from abroad in a piecemeal manner, so Mr. Tanaka Ichiro, as the current leader of the Tanaka family and the chairman and general manager of Tanaka Precious Metals Company, directly made a very bold decision, that is, to find suitable gold mines abroad and underwrite!
I have to say that Ichiro Tanaka's vision and courage are absolutely first-class, and his luck seems to be very good, not long after coming to the United States. Two suitable gold mines were found, two of the four gold mines under the name of Barrick Gold.
In those years, Barrick Gold was in a downturn, and the four newly developed gold mines were also full of problems, so when Ichiro Tanaka came to the door and offered to underwrite two of them. Barrick Gold immediately agreed without hesitation.
After all, there are underwriters, although the price is 5% lower than the market, but in such a low stage of the international gold price, with such an underwriter, there is no need to worry about the output of these two gold mines.
In fact, the average gold producer still prefers this kind of underwriter, but now there are too few gold sellers who dare to play underwriting, and now one suddenly appeared, Barrick Gold did not hesitate to sign the relevant underwriting contract with Ichiro Tanaka.
And Tanaka Precious Metals Company. With the help of this opportunity, it has developed rapidly. After all, with a sufficient supply of goods, and the price is 5% lower than the market price, even if Tanaka Precious Metals Company sells to two other gold sellers at a normal price, there is also a 5% profit to earn, 5% of ten tons of gold, in the year before and last year, that is a net profit of nearly 20 million US dollars a year! Such a net profit can be obtained by changing hands. Fools don't do it.
And most importantly, because Tanaka Precious Metals is able to provide a steady stream of gold at the international gold price. This also made some gold sellers in the country take the initiative to contact Tanaka Precious Metals Company. Although there is also a Tokyo gold market, the scale and influence of the Tokyo gold market are not as large as the world's five major gold markets, and the Tokyo gold market is mainly aimed at the domestic gold market, so the gold price in the Tokyo gold market is often a little higher than the international gold price.
It is for this reason that Tanaka Precious Metals attracts many gold sellers in the territory because of the price at which the goods are obtained from Tanaka Precious Metals. It's even lower than the price of the goods in the Tokyo gold market.
What the? You said to go abroad to pick up the goods? You've got a bad brain, right? I said that the price of goods in China is the same as the price of goods from foreign gold mines, and I want to go abroad to get goods for Mao? You should pay for freight and insurance, these expenses are not cost!
In this way, Tanaka Precious Metals Company has taken advantage of the gold market in recent years to grow rapidly and become a rare and highly profitable company in the gold bear market.
And all that. It's all because of the decision Ichiro Tanaka made back then!
Underwriting the gold mine!
Those who are not bold and careful and lucky will not be able to give full play to this commercial method!
And Ichiro Tanaka just did it.
How could Ichiro Tanaka, who had tasted the sweetness, be willing to give up such a means of business operation? Given the current economic situation in the country, the peak gold sales season will continue for several years, and if Ichiro Tanaka does not take this opportunity to continue to grow his company, then he will be in vain as chairman and general manager.
Originally, Ichiro Tanaka would have thought that after the owners of these two gold mines changed, he would no longer be able to continue this commercial operation of reimbursement of gold mines, but now Tang Feng directly gave him a very clear answer, how could this not make Ichiro Tanaka ecstatic?
But the things that made Ichiro Tanaka happy were far from over, because Tang Feng's next words almost made Ichiro Tanaka faint happily.
"Mr. Tanaka, not only can I promise to hand over a gold mine under my name to your company for underwriting, but I can also make a certain discount on the price." Tang Feng continued to say to Ichiro Tanaka lightly.
Ichiro Tanaka's face suddenly changed from a chrysanthemum to a sunflower, and it was strange that anyone who heard such words was not happy.
"Tang San, thank you very much for your support, but can I hear how much discount you plan to give us Tanaka Precious Metals?"
Tang Feng smiled slightly, "It's very simple, Mr. Tanaka, the price of your gold underwriting in Barrick used to be 5% lower than the international market, am I right?" ”
Ichiro Tanaka nodded hurriedly.
Tang Feng pondered for a moment and said, "Since Mr. Tanaka came to the United States from thousands of miles away, and he came to underwrite my gold mine, of course I have to give Mr. Tanaka a more favorable price." In this way, Barrick Gold can give Mr. Tanaka a 5% discount, then I promise that when Mr. Tanaka underwrites my gold mine in the future, I can give Mr. Tanaka a 10% price discount! How about it, is Mr. Tanaka still satisfied with this preferential amount? ”
Satisfied! Of course satisfied! If you are not satisfied with this price, wouldn't it be a shame to be embarrassed? The 10% preferential amount, even if you don't go through your own gold sales channels, just changing hands, 10% of 100 tons of gold a year, that's a net profit of 300 million US dollars!
The shrewd Ichiro Tanaka calculated almost instantly what the 10% discount amount meant!
And that's just gold, don't forget, there's fifty tons of platinum (to be continued.) )
