Chapter 425: Layout The pursuit of fashion always comes at a cost (4)
In order to ensure that they can receive timely financial support and be foolproof, the managers of the British foreign banks have also approached the British Liru Bank, Macquarie Bank, and HSBC Bank, which have opened branches in Shanghai, and the French foreign bank managers have found the Banque de France, Crédit Agricole CIB and other large banks to ask for financial assistance.
These merchants outside of Britain and France knew that if they waited any longer, they would have to wait for the next batch of goods to arrive, and they didn't dare to wait any longer, so they all joined the war group in advance.
However, the British and French businessmen were well prepared and determined to win, and in a few rounds of bidding they raised the bidding price to a price that exceeded the original bid price by 70 percent, which was far beyond the funds that the merchants of other countries could each take out at one time.
Therefore, in several rounds of bidding, they did not get a single auction, and they were still taken away by the British and French foreign companies.
But seeing that the British and French merchants just wanted to squeeze them out of the auction at a high price and enjoy this feast exclusively, how could these merchants be willing. So, on the one hand, they actively contacted each other to find partners, and on the other hand, they joined forces with the partners they found to find bank support.
Soon, the German Lihe & Co., the Danish Baolong & Co., and the Italian Poly & Co. joined forces, and they urgently found the German Deutsch-Hua Bank in Shanghai to obtain financial support; The businessmen of the United States, Yoshiben, and Southeast Asia were the weakest, and they naturally came together, and they also received the support of Citibank in the United States and Yokohama Shojin Bank. So a more fierce silver bullet battle started a tragic battle in Daqing's company.
According to this momentum, the final transaction price of this batch of goods is at least half more than their original price.
And at this time, the most troublesome is Yu Qiaqing, in order to deal with the domestic businessmen, Yu Qiaqing endured the torment, there is no way, the number of these in-demand goods at his disposal and can be sold to the country is too small.
And this errand is something that only he can do, and even if he wants to get rid of it, it is impossible.
Even so, among the sought-after commodities at Yu Qiaqing's disposal also included more than a dozen electrical appliances ordered by Song Ziwen for the Ministry of Finance, including central air conditioners, single air conditioners, refrigerators, freezers, and wine coolers, as well as several that Zhang Qun ordered for his city hall and the Songhu Police Department.
In addition, Du Yuesheng ordered several for the French Concession Board of Directors and his own family are also among them, as well as people with status like Huang Jinrong and Zhang Xiaolin, even Yu Qiaqing has some people who can't afford to offend, these are all things he has to satisfy, and then there are very few left. In the face of the surging merchants, it was inappropriate for Yu Qiaqing to sell these small quantities of in-demand goods to anyone.
In desperation, Yu Qiaqing gritted her teeth and simply handed over the rest to Sincere Department Store for retail.
All Yu Qiaqing can do now is to repeatedly explain to the businessmen in Shanghai, who are red-faced and sweating profusely, and to Hangzhou, Wuhan, and other places who rushed to hear the news, only to ensure that they will have an extra share of the goods shipped in the next month, but to order them now, they must pay reserves in advance.
Originally, Yu Qiaqing was very unimpressed with giving priority to selling these in-demand commodities to foreigners, to be honest, Dayang was taken out of whose pocket, it was no different to him.
It's just that this request was repeatedly requested by Li Yuanda's daughter, and he couldn't object to it. He knew that Li Yuanda's daughter was about to become Mrs. Song, and her words could never be violated.
When Yu Qiaqing was entangled by the merchants, he learned about the hot scene at the auction venue, and he discovered the mystery of this after a little analysis, and immediately told these merchants that he agreed to expand the number of domestic sales, but the domestic businessmen wanted to participate in the auction with foreigners, and whoever grabbed it was counted.
The elated domestic businessmen immediately followed Yu Qiaqing and rushed into the auction venue, but they were soon disappointed, compared to these foreigners, their strength was too small, and they could not afford such a bid.
The bidding price of the last goods was unexpectedly raised to an astonishing price of 12 percent more than the original bid price.
At such a price, the British and French businessmen really couldn't bear it, and they were a little anxious to see the united American and Yueben businessmen, who also had branches in Yuanben, and had to take care of some face.
Moreover, Ito, who had always been a short, well-dressed and meticulous old man, was already flushed with sweat at this time, and the straps of his kimono were loosened and could not be tied, his eyes were red, and he clutched the narrow and sharp katana placed on the coffee table in his hand, and glared viciously at everyone who dared to bid, and the meaning was obvious, 'If anyone is robbing me, I will use the knife.'"
This is the last subject matter, and he must get it, so no matter what the other party offers, Ito no longer negotiates with his partners, and only adds a hundred oceans to the other party's bid, which is completely desperate.
The British and French businessmen knew that if they continued to fight like this, they would definitely lose both, and even they were afraid that this usually gentle and elegant little old man would be really anxious, so he pulled out his knife and fought with them.
The British and French businessmen quietly exchanged views with each other, and then symbolically bid twice, and suddenly withdrew from the auction at a position 120 percent higher than the original bid.
The final result was that the German, Danish, and Italian merchants got less than 10% of all the goods in this auction, and the Benben, the United States, and the Nanyang merchants got 10%, and the remaining 80% were divided between British and French merchants.
The auction of stockings was also very satisfying, and this batch of 100,000 pairs of stockings was also sold to more than double the original list price before it ended.
The auction was a great success, and the sales of more than 40,000 household appliances reached more than 700 million, and the sales of 1 million pairs of stockings also reached 40 million.
An hour after these extremely exciting figures were counted, Song Zhewu in Taiyuan received the news, and this good news made Song Zhewu really excited for a while.
To be honest, it was impossible for Song Zhewu not to be shocked that he could make almost 760 million oceans in a short period of time with these things that were very common in his previous life, and he earned them back almost in one day......
