Chapter 424: Layout The pursuit of fashion always comes at a cost (3)

Du Yuesheng and the French Concession Board of Directors were very cooperative, not only for the sake of Yu Qiaqing's face, but also because Song Ziwen asked Du Yuesheng and the French consul in Shanghai, Gamlinhe, to take more care of Daqing's company at the banquet held by Yu Qiaqing, Li Yuanda, and Ma Yingbiao that night.

With the title of Minister of Finance of Song Ziwen alone, don't say that Du Yuesheng may not necessarily buy it, even the French Minister Gandlinge may not buy it, but considering Song Ziwen's other identity, they can't help but buy Song Ziwen's account.

Therefore, the next day, in front of Daqing Company and Sincere Department Store, there were a large number of patrols and Du Yuesheng's apprentices to maintain order, although there were many people buying goods and watching the excitement in these two places, but no one dared to take advantage of the chaos to make trouble.

If you annoy the patrols, it's okay to say that it's a big deal to be caught in the patrol room and beaten violently, but if you want to annoy the contemporary Shanghai Chunshenjun Du Yuesheng Du Boss who was praised by Secretary Li Yuanhong's secretary in writing couplets: "Three thousand guests under the Chunshen Gate, five feet south of Xiaodu City", then I'm afraid I will have to be put in a sack and thrown down the Huangpu River to feed the fish.

Because of Du Yuesheng, although there was a crowd of people in front of Daqing Company and Sincere Department Store, no one dared to make trouble, and even some gangsters who deliberately approached young and beautiful women in the crowd to eat some tofu also restrained a lot.

Because the Sincere department store has long said that household appliances and stockings are to be restricted, many people have sent many people to line up to buy in order to buy all the goods at once, or those who want to buy more. However, most of these people who lined up in a long line came to buy stockings for the ladies in the family, after all, not just anyone can easily take out tens of thousands, or even tens of thousands of oceans.

If the retail in Sincere Department Store is described as very hot, then the atmosphere in Daqing's company can only be described as tense and even white-hot.

Although Li Rujuan shipped all these electrical products produced in the past few months to Shanghai, there were more than 40,000 units together, the smallest number of constant temperature wine cabinets, and the new production workshop of the refrigeration branch of Xinghua Electronics Company, which only produced less than 3,000 units.

Although the number of more than 40,000 household appliances is not small, Li Rujuan called last night to emphasize that 90 percent of these products must be sold abroad, and Europe and the United States are the first choice. In this way, less than 500 of the more than 40,000 household appliances can be sold in Shanghai, and such a small number of goods are naturally not enough for wholesale, even if the retail is insufficient.

Therefore, dealing with domestic businessmen who require a large number of purchases has definitely become a chore, and this drudgery has to be dealt with by Yu Qiaqing, a strong person.

Li Yuanda and Ma Yingbiao naturally didn't dare to take on this job, so they took the initiative to negotiate with Li Rubai and Li Rusong, Zhang Luo, and foreign businessmen from all over the world.

Even so, the quantity of goods available for sale could not meet the needs of foreign businessmen, and in order to buy more of these sought-after goods, the foreign businessmen had not yet begun to negotiate with Li Yuanda and Ma Yingbiao.

In order to get more of these sought-after goods for himself, Charlie, the manager of the grumpy British Jardine & Co., even took out a pistol and threatened him, and Ito, the little old man of the Toa & Co., was unequivocal, and directly asked people to go back to get his family heirloom katana.

Seeing that these foreigners are getting more and more troublesome, if they don't want to come up with a proper solution, then they have to kill people today.

In a hurry, Li Rusong moved out of the collection auction method he learned from Taiyuan to count these foreign devils.

Li Rusong's method is to divide each of these commodities into ten parts, and bid for one at a time, and the highest bidder will get the goods.

None of the foreigners, who have always believed in strength, opposed this method, especially the managers of several British and French oceanic banks, and finally everyone unanimously agreed, and it was done.

Among the foreign merchants, the British and French merchants were the most powerful, and they were eager to eat all the goods alone, while the strength of the merchants of Germany, Italy, Denmark, the United States, the South Seas, and other parts of Asia was obviously not good.

Since they speak with strength, the managers of the British and French foreign companies are not polite, and the first few bids have been snatched up by the British and French companies such as Jardine & Co., Swire & Co., Baoshun & Co., and the French Jufu & Co., Xin Dachang & Co., and Cours & Co. at a price 20 percent higher than the list price.

It's just that careful people can find that although the managers of these foreign companies all quote, in fact, the foreign companies opened by the British are mainly based on Yihe Foreign Bank, and the foreign houses opened by the French are mainly based on Xindachang Foreign Bank, and as long as they stop quoting, people from the same country will no longer make a move.

Moreover, there seems to be a tacit understanding between the British and French groups of foreign companies, always getting one for themselves and giving the next one to the other party, and if there is a third party to participate in the competition, the two groups will continue to raise the price with their arms and sleeves, and resolutely refuse to retreat until they force their opponents to retreat.

In the beginning, the merchants of Germany, Italy, Denmark, the United States, the Ben, the South Seas, and other parts of Asia, knowing that their strength was weak, were prepared to wait until the British and French could not eat any more, and then they would take action and pick up some of the leftovers they had eaten.

But as time goes by, seeing that the goods in the auction have become less and less, and the people of the British and French foreign banks are still bidding at higher prices, they are very busy, and the price has been raised by the two of them to 35% more than the original price, but they have not stopped yet, obviously they are eating all, this is not even the scum does not want to give them the rest!

At this time, the businessmen of these countries have turned their heads, and the British and French foreign companies are ready to package all these precious goods!

The managers of these other foreign foreign companies did not know that the British and French foreign companies had already agreed that they could not let the merchants of other European countries get these magical things made and produced by the Chinese, who did not know why they had suddenly received God's favor and enlightenment, at least not let others get too much. They know very well that these precious things will definitely make a lot of money in Europe, and the more people who get them, the more difficult it will be to control the price, and of course the more difficult it will be for them to make money.

But the problem is that no one can eat such a large piece of "fat" alone, even the strongest in China.

British and French businessmen are the most practical, no way, since they can't enjoy it exclusively, then they have to find people who are powerful and qualified, and can share this wealth with themselves.

As a result, the British businessmen consciously united, and the French foreign companies also hugged together as the British thought, and in order to prevent the British and French businessmen from pinching each other too hard and Chinese cheapening each other, the two groups even reached a tacit understanding......
