Chapter 120: The price has to be raised
Wu Tiaoqing looked at Ye Xilai, who was presiding over the auction, and Ning Xingpu, who was still sitting peacefully, and asked Qin Chuan. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Ming Hong, the cooperation between this Ning Xingpu and this surnamed Ye is very tacit, Ning Xingpu will not be the trust arranged by you, right?"
Qin Chuan smiled, which can be regarded as an acknowledgement.
Seeing Qin Chuan's admission, Wu Tiaoqing nodded: "That's it, but you kid won't just arrange this Ning Xingpu alone, I'm afraid you will also arrange someone else, right?" ”
Seeing that his arrangements were all seen through by the scheming Wu Tiaoqing, Qin Chuan did not hide it: "In addition to Ning Xingpu, there are also the German Gao Lin and Yang Shaonong, the general manager of the Changlu Salt Gang. ”
Zhang Shiheng didn't care who Qin Chuan had arranged to be the support, what he cared about was that since Qin Chuan knew the other party's bottom line, why didn't he force the other party to the bottom line at once.
Zhang Shiheng asked Qin Chuan with some reluctance: "Minghong, since you already know the bottom line of the East India Company's bid, why don't you cut the price enough and leave him 10 yuan?" ”
Li Jingfang glanced at Zhang Shiheng and said: "I said Chu Bao, there is always room for people to do things, as long as the other party has a way out, he will not fight hard with you, this Ming Hong did very well, such as his color cloth, there is room for RB people, not only did he get a lot of cheap, RB people did not fight him to the death, this is the way to behave in the world." ”
Zhou Fu nodded and said softly: "What Bo Xing said is not bad, Ming Hong never forces people to a dead end, although this is due to Ming Hong's character, but it is really a superior way of life, and Lord Zhongtang appreciates Ming Hong's actions very much." ”
Li Hongzhang praised him, which showed that Li Hongzhang had been paying attention to him, which made Qin Chuan a little surprised. Qin Chuan thought that Li Hongzhang didn't want to see him, so he also stayed away from Li Hongzhang, but from Zhou Fu's words, he blamed Li Hongzhang for his mistake.
Seeing that Zhang Shiheng was a little embarrassed, Sheng Xuanhuai diverted the conversation and asked Qin Chuan with a smile: "Ming Hong, although this Ning Xingpu is your trust, but I haven't seen anyone give Ning Xing ordinary anger, how did he know that the people of the East India Company would increase the price?" How did you get in touch? ”
Sheng Xuanhuai's words were to the point, Qin Chuan smiled and motioned Sheng Xuanhuai to look at the window on the second floor behind Ye Xilai, and everyone's eyes looked at the second floor. At this moment, the windows on the second floor are wide open, but there is no one in the window.
Li Jingfang said: "Minghong, where did you do it?" However, if Ning Xingpu can see it, then everyone else can see it too? ”
"That's what you can see naturally."
Qin Chuan replied indifferently, making everyone even more puzzled.
Seeing that everyone still didn't understand what they meant, Qin Chuan had no choice but to explain patiently.
"There is no one at those windows now, and as long as someone shows up, it is to convey some message, sometimes there are people in one window, sometimes there are people in two or three windows, what kind of clothes the people appear there, what kind of hats they wear, what kind of clothes and what the colors of the hats are, these are all said. The people I put down below will know what I mean. However, the idea of arranging for them to raise the price has been discussed with them, and under normal circumstances, there is no need to send them any additional information. ”
The next auction is still very fierce, not only British American Tobacco has to participate in every auction to the end, even the RB people can't sit still, but also rush to fight shirtless and the East India Company and British American Tobacco Company, several times, without Ning Xingpu to participate, the starting bid is 140, and the winning bid price is 160, but the target is still the only one of the East India Company.
Seeing that the foreign businessmen in the colorful shed were bargaining, although Zhang Shiheng looked hot, he also knew his net worth, secretly swallowed his saliva, and asked Qin Chuan with some puzzlement.
"Ming Hong, now there is only one corner of a box of cigarettes on the market, it is estimated that if it is in Europe and the United States, I am afraid it will be more or less cheaper, but according to the price of the East India Company, that box of cigarettes will be more than three triangles, and a piece of Yingyang can not buy three boxes, this price should not be many people in our Qing Dynasty will buy. Although your cigarette has a special filter, but how to say it is still a cigarette, you look at these foreigners, just this posture, I am afraid that the price will be raised, can they transport your cigarettes back to China, they can make money? ”
Li Jingfang pursed his lips, gave Zhang Shiheng a white look, and took over the conversation.
"Chu Bao, if you want me to say that you are a wealth fan, in the upper class society of Europe and the United States, not only those gentlemen and ladies who pay attention to pomp and circumstance, but also industrial workers are much more than our Daqing Dynasty, and there are many people who smoke cigarettes, and there is even a kind of cigarette directly rolled from dried and fermented tobacco leaves, which is extremely expensive, called cigars, and many people are smoking. If Ming Hong's cigarettes with filters are shipped to Europe and the United States, whoever smokes such a unique cigarette will show that it is superior, that is, a box of one dollar, I am afraid that it will be in short supply. Ming Hong's inventory plus the output of the last eight months is only 100,000 boxes, 50 million boxes, and it is really not difficult for the East India Company to be alone, shipped to Europe and the United States, and earn more than 20 million. ”
Wu Tiaoqing also nodded and said: "These 100,000 boxes of cigarettes are shipped to Europe and the United States, and once they are distributed in various countries, there are really not many things, as the saying goes, rare things are expensive, foreigners love to catch up with fashion, as long as no one else has this cigarette with a filter and it competes for a downward bargain, not to mention sales, even if you buy a good price, there is absolutely no problem." Charlie of the East India Company really has a vision, I am afraid that he saw this, so he dared to bid at a huge amount of money, it seems that he will want to be exclusive and fast. ”
Zhang Shiheng was stunned for a long time, and suddenly slapped his thigh: "Minghong, in this way, doesn't that mean that this Charlie will definitely want the cigarettes of the last three months, not to say 150, even 200 is not impossible." ”
Sheng Xuanhuai also nodded and said, "Minghong, that's exactly the case." In my opinion, you still have to raise the price, and you really can't cheapen this foreigner for nothing. ”
Qin Chuan waved his hand and shouted to Chu Yunfei, and commanded a few words softly, and Chu Yunfei hurriedly got off the color shed again.
Sure enough, as expected, I think those foreign businessmen have the same thoughts as Wu Tiaoqing and Li Jingfang, the bidding in the last three months is particularly fierce, the share of March and April and the two months, several of them actually killed all the way to 200, and the 10,000 boxes in May were participated by Ning Xingpu, Gao Lin, Yang Shaonong and the red-eyed RB Songchang Foreign Company, Charlie, who did not want to fall short, finally won the bid with 240 yuan.
Looking at Charlie, who was sweating but was obviously very excited, Sheng Xuanhuai said: "Ming Hong, Ning Xingpu, Gao Lin and Yang Shaonong have contributed a lot, so you have gained a lot, how do you want to reward them?" ”
Sheng Xuanhuai said this, Zhang Shiheng, Li Jingfang, and Wu Tiaoqing all came back to their senses, this Ning Xingpu, Gao Lin, and Yang Shaonong are all valuable businessmen, and there is no big benefit, it is estimated that Qin Chuan is not good to talk to these three people, and they can't help but look at Qin Chuan with surprise and envy.
Qin Chuan is now very angry in his heart for this Sheng Xuanhuai who doesn't open which pot to mention, but everyone looked at him, Qin Chuan was helpless, so he had to say with a sigh of hope。。。。。。
