Horiuchi Yucheng was indeed entrusted by coal merchants to force Chen Mingxiang to end the coal price war as soon as possible, but it was not the coal merchants in Shanghai who entrusted him, they did not have this qualification, and it was Mitsui, Mitsubishi and other chaebols who manipulated the industry to come forward to facilitate this negotiation.

The price of coal in Shanghai must be stable, and there must be no social unrest, this is the will of the military department and the cabinet, no one can disobey, and the chaebol does not dare to find trouble, which is also the bottom line of Horiuchi Yujo.

As for the share of the coal market, it depends on Chen Mingxiang's ability, and it is impossible to give up with so much cost in the early stage.

President Hirano of the Daihu City Gas Company in Japan, President Okamoto of the Coal Federation, President Yamashita of Yamashita Mining Co., Ltd., and President Noguchi of Toa Mining Co., Ltd. did not represent any Chinese businessmen.

The selfish character of Japanese businessmen is vividly reflected at this moment, they first consider their own interests when they encounter things, as for those profiteers in the coal industry in Shanghai who follow them to make a fortune, is it their business to live or die?

"If you can come up with a way to replace the sale of briquettes with coal to avoid insufficient production capacity, Chen Jun is really a good means and a good plan, don't you worry about the chaebol forces behind the merchants of our empire?"

"We are the support of the empire's cause, because we can continue the war, our status can never be compared, as long as we speak, you have to talk obediently, don't you understand this truth?" President Okamoto said gloomily.

"It's a pity, the Imperial Government and the Military Department hope to see a base with stable order and a large number of war materials for the Empire, but you merchants have become a stumbling block to this hope!"

"What I see in my eyes is that the people of Shanghai hate you, the city government hates you, and the cabinet and military department hate you.

"If you are not convinced, don't talk about it, continue to continue this pattern, anyway, I don't care, how much coal comes, it can be exchanged for cash flow in a few days, I am not short of money, there is no problem for a few months and a few years, can you hold on?" Chen Mingxiang took out his cigar.

This is the last struggle of the Japanese coal merchants, who want to use the illusion of coercion and temptation to ask for more benefits, indeed, they are working behind their backs, and the consul general in Shanghai speaks for them, which is an advantage and capital.

It was the first time for Ji Ji to see this kind of scene of negotiation with a Japanese businessman, and he was a little excited in his heart, so he hurriedly took out the lighter from his bag and lit it for Chen Mingxiang.

And because she participated in the cocktail party, she wore an elegant winter thickened cheongsam today, with a fluffy collar and cuffs, which had a touching style, which feasted the eyes of these Japanese businessmen.

"Chen Jun, let's be direct, what conditions are you going to offer us?" President Hirano said.

"Starting from March 1, all your briquette shops in Shanghai must be sold according to 30 yuan per quintal of Chinese reserve coupons, which is the bottom line of the city government and the bottom line of the garrison headquarters, which is no problem, right?" Chen Mingxiang said.

"Yes, for the time being, it is limited to three months, and then we will negotiate." President Hirano said.

"I want to get 100,000 tons of coal from your hands, make up for the 100,000 tons I sold, give me 50,000 tons first, and transfer the remaining 50,000 tons from the Kailuan Coal Mine in North China to me, which will be completed before the year, 600 yuan per ton of storage coupons, no need to distinguish, I have a number of 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 are hoarding a large amount of coal in their hands, and 80,000 tons is less than that.

Chen Mingxiang plans to use the negotiation to directly transfer the coal of these businessmen, which will also save time and transportation costs.

"I can't accept this condition, the price can not be considered, but coal transportation is now the biggest problem, we also need to rely on these coal to support production and sales, I promise to give you a quota of 100,000 tons, you yourself to Kailuan Coal Mine to transport back." President Hirano refused.

"You have at least two million quintals of briquettes in your hands, plus 30,000 tons of coal, which is enough to support half a year, what is the use of so much coal, and it also occupies liquidity!" Chen Mingxiang said.

"The sales volume of briquettes in Shanghai is calculated according to one million quintals, and in half a year, how do you calculate the accounts, say it and listen to it, it seems that there is a saying in it!" President Okamoto said.

"I now have 60 briquette shops, with monthly sales of 600,000 quintals, which is the most basic, the briquette factory in Jincheng and the briquette factory in Shanghai, you know it yourself, this output can be fully achieved, and I want to occupy sixty percent of the market share!" Chen Mingxiang said.

"Your family will account for sixty percent, and our more than thirty people will only account for forty percent, and they all say that the lion has a big mouth, you really dare to say it!" President Okamoto's face changed.

Lianmei is composed of 12 Japanese businessmen and 22 Chinese businessmen, and if it only accounts for 40 percent, the monthly sales of one are actually equivalent to Chen Mingxiang's briquette shop, which is too bullying.

"Don't be anxious, thirty-four Lianmei ships distribute one million quintals of briquettes, and one is less than 30,000 quintals of sales, but the profit of 300,000 yuan, you have achieved this level of monopoly trading, I will blush for you, what is a monopoly, do you understand?"

"Since I have enough resources to join this industry, I don't need so many Chinese businessmen, and there are too many Japanese businessmen in twelve, so we must join hands to reshuffle the industry in exchange for the greatest benefits."

"In addition to me, the entire Shanghai market retains a maximum of six Japanese businessmen, including you, and a maximum of four Chinese businessmen, this number is enough, and no one can eat enough wolves and less meat, do you think it is interesting?" Chen Mingxiang said.

Ji Ji was dumbfounded when she heard it next to her, she couldn't think that Chen Mingxiang would put forward such harsh conditions, not to mention, but also to reshuffle the entire coal industry in Shanghai, forcing twenty-four coal merchants to close their doors, oh my God, this is too exciting!

"Theoretically, this makes sense, but you have a share of sixty percent, and we can't agree, you occupy forty percent, we have sixty percent, this is a reasonable distribution!" President Hirano said.

The Japanese businessmen did not have much opinion on the monopoly method explained by Chen Mingxiang, this is the behavior led by the cabinet and the military department, and it is reasonable to withdraw from the market if the strength is insufficient.

"I don't even know what to say about you, only if I occupy sixty percent of the market share, the cabinet and the military department will rest assured, the garrison headquarters, the consulate general in Shanghai and the headquarters of the military police in Shanghai will rest assured, and the city government will rest assured, unless I am forced to understand the words!"

"You have a criminal record, and you can only cooperate in this way in a short period of time, and this ratio does not depend on me, but on the result of your own making!" Chen Mingxiang said.
