Most of the ordinary merchants did not have the ability to pass through the Luo River unimpeded like the Nanzhou Bank, and when they organized the transportation, they had to worry that their merchant ships would be sunk by the crazy feudal town.

Therefore, there are not many ordinary coal merchants who come to Pingdan County to purchase, and even if a few come, the price will be lowered.

Because these ordinary coal merchants run the Luo River route at such a time, it is extremely risky, and they will not come at all if they do not lower the price to try to make huge profits.

In fact, it is nothing if you can't sell at a price, and the most important thing is that even if the price is very cheap, it still can't be sold.

The coal production capacity of Pingdan County is not small, but the current sales are far from enough, so that many coal mines are in a state of semi-shutdown.

So during this time, Li Kun was also looking for new sales channels, and this Tsingshan Oil Company was very good, but the two sides were still in a state of war before, how could they do business, so they kept dragging it out.

But now there is a change, although the price sold to Lin Ziran is lower than the current wholesale price of coal in Pingdan County, but it is better than coal dug out by no one.

There is no way to drop the price of coal in Pingdan County, after all, this coal is not only here in Pingdan County, you must know that the entire Nanhai Prefecture is a large coal-producing state, and many counties have coal resources.

In particular, there is a large coal mine in Luohai County, which is easy to mine, and in addition to ordinary coal, anthracite coal of excellent quality is also produced.

Compared with coal in other places, the coal in Pinkham County does not have any special advantages.

If the price is not reduced, the transportation is risky and the cost is high, and no one comes to Pingdan County to purchase.

As for the big commercial banks of Nanzhou Bank, they have the ability to reduce the transportation cost, but the key thing is that people have the ability or not the motivation.

Nanzhou Bank was engaged in the big business of lending money to the feudal towns and selling ordnance to the feudal towns.

If you let them play with coal, a large business with transparent market prices and limited profits, people say that the ships have limited tonnage to transport, and there is not enough to transport guns, ammunition and gold coins, so how can there be transportation tonnage for you to transport these cheap coals.

On the side of Luo'an County, the only physical business that Nanzhou Bank pays more attention to is kerosene.

Because kerosene is a monopoly business for the time being, there is no place in the world to produce kerosene except for Castle Peak Town, and according to the many agreements reached between Nanzhou Bank and Tsingshan Petroleum Company, the commercial banks under Nanzhou Bank have obtained at least 80% of the oil company's production capacity.

In terms of profits, the proportion is not high, but it can't stand the short supply of this thing, and it is a business.

Today's kerosene business, for Nanzhou Bank, is a very fast capital turnover, and does not require any cost, and at the same time can bring huge profits.

And more importantly, Nanzhou Bank is not only interested in the existing little profits, but also on the future of the entire kerosene industry.

Zhou Li has already revealed to Lin Ziran that now Nanzhou Bank has started the so-called 'oil strategy' and is ready to invest a huge amount of money.

Zhou Li didn't disclose the specifics, and he probably didn't know about it, but he also said that the bank's internal investment in the oil industry started at least one million, and it was only an early investment, mainly used to find oil fields.

The Bank of Southern State now employs many people all over the world to find oil, and the amount of money spent by such a large number of oil survey teams every day is not a small amount.

When the time is right, for example, after they find other oil fields and build more refineries, it is possible that Nanzhou Bank will buy the entire Tsingshan Petroleum Company and then merge with other oil fields and refineries to create a huge oil company.

This shows the ambition of the Southern State Bank.

They don't just want one oil company, they want the entire oil industry.

Their ambitions are even greater than Lin Ziran, the son of destiny!

Because the directors of Nanzhou Bank calculated it like this: What about more than 200 million people in Daheng, how big is the market potential? It would cost tens of millions of barrels of oil a year, to say the least, and even more if it was promoted better.

If people all over the world use kerosene for lighting, how big is the market potential? At least tens of millions of barrels of oil are consumed a year.

Even if the time comes to reduce the price in order to expand the market scale, resulting in a decrease in net profit, but their internal personnel calculate, even if it is a price reduction, the profit in the early stage is estimated to be more than 10 constant yuan per barrel of oil.

When the time comes, don't talk about the global market, even if you sell 10 million barrels of petroleum products a year in Dahengli, it will be a big business with tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of net profits a year!

Compared with the annual net profit of hundreds of millions of yuan in the entire kerosene industry, a mere Tsingshan Petroleum Company is a fart!

The directors of Nanzhou Bank, a big-business, ambitious bank, or a bank-centric group, are not looking down on such a small coal-producing area as Pinh Thanh County.

Well, if it is the super coal mine in Luohai County, it is almost the same, this super coal mine not only supplies coal to Nanhai Prefecture, but also supplies coal to several surrounding states, although the profit margin is low, but it cannot stand the large volume, and the overall profit is very considerable.

However, the coal mine is officially owned by Luohai County, and it is impossible to get this coal mine if Shao Bing is killed, because the successor will still regard this coal mine as his lifeline, because almost all the profits from this coal mine are handed over to raise the army.

Even if the Bank of Nanzhou is powerful, it is difficult to get involved in this coal mine.

Compared with the large coal mines in Luohai County, the coal in Pingdan County has no advantages, but because of the difficulty of transportation due to the war, the price that can be sold is lower, and there are many that cannot be sold.

In many cases, Li Kun also has a headache, although his coal does not cost anything, but it is heart-wrenching to dig it out and pile it up there and not sell it.

Now it's better to take it out and exchange it for ammunition from Lin Ziran.

This kind of trade between the two sides in exchange for goods can be regarded as a clear sign of the easing of relations between the two sides.

Lin Ziran not only eased the relationship with Li Kun, but also actively contacted Li Dingjun and Zhao Song.

Interestingly, Zhao Song also got the news there, and after knowing that Li Kun had obtained a batch of cheap ammunition from Lin Ziran, he also moved his mind and sent someone to find Lin Ziran to get a batch of old-fashioned ammunition.

Although it is said that it is all old shells and black powder, it is better to supply it in large quantities because it is cheap.

This is very much to Zhao Song's appetite, why?

Because he is poor!
