Chapter 677 Food War
Chapter 677 Food War
"How many agreed to sell?"
Chu Lingyun was not surprised by this result at all. Who would give up the money in his pocket to others?
Even if Shiyuan Trading Company is very strong, it can't do too much. Chu Lingyun estimated that these grain merchants should unite to fight against Shiyuan Trading Company.
A single grain merchant, no matter how big it is, is just an egg to him.
And he is stone.
"There are three in total."
Daze lowered his head, two of the three companies were run by members of the cultural society, and one was the business of the people behind it, as long as they were not allowed to lose money, they were willing to be friends with the Ishihara Trading Company.
That company even took out all of its own purchase price.
In the early stage, it was not even [-]% off the market price, but in the later stage, it was [-]% or [-]% off. Together, it is still profitable to buy it at [-]% off.
But he said that he doesn't need to make money, as long as the capital is given to him, if the Shiyuan Commercial Bank is in urgent need of food, he can not take the capital.
When Daze explained the situation, Chu Lingyun smiled.
There are smart people, but not many.
"It's okay, I'll continue to ask tomorrow, ask all the grain merchants, at least get to know their bottom line, and understand their attitude."
Chu Lingyun didn't care, this result was within his expectation and the result he wanted.
If the grain merchant does not object, how can he reasonably suppress grain prices?
A Japanese businessman who suddenly shows kindness and sells grain at a low price will immediately attract suspicion from others.
Although he is not afraid now, it is always a trouble.
He can ignore other people, but when Abe or Nishio comes to ask, how should he answer?
"Yes."
Daze responded, the boss said that he wanted to find out.
Since it's a matter of finding out, it's okay for him to work harder, but every time he is rejected, he feels very humiliated.
At noon the next day, Chu Lingyun hosted a banquet for Shanghai smugglers at the restaurant.
These people made a lot of money by smuggling. With Shi Yuanheng standing in the way, they only need to pay [-]% of the payment, and they can take the goods safely.
They have made a lot of money recently and are very satisfied.
Ishihara Hiroshi was very tight, with Jun Shuishiro and Takemoto watching together, and everyone working together, people who did not get Ishihara Hiroshi's permission could not get involved in this business at all.
"Ishihara-kun, everyone is here."
Xintian sat next to Chu Lingyun. He is now the liaison officer of this group and reports the situation to Shi Yuanheng once a month.
Everyone is very honest, no one dares to play tricks.
Who wants to be troublesome when they can make money quietly?
Greedy has long been sunk into the Huangpu River, and now only the bones remain.
"To invite everyone today is to ask for something."
Chu Lingyun said lightly, everyone was startled, Shi Yuanheng actually asked them for help?
"Shi Yuan-kun, just say it, as long as we can help, we will definitely do our best."
A general responded first, and everyone responded one after another, and they all agreed.
Chu Lingyun glanced at Xintian, he knew what was going on.
"Recently, the grain price has been soaring. Mr. Shi Yuan originally wanted to collect grain from all the grain merchants, but they didn't agree." Xintian said slowly.
"What? How dare someone disrespect Shi Yuan-kun?"
"The price of grain is indeed too high, and these grain merchants are too dark."
"Ishihara-kun, tell me, what should we do?"
Everyone responded that they were doing a smuggling business, and the smuggled goods included food, but not bulk.
"I might as well bring someone to smash their store and confiscate all the food."
The head of the Liaison Department suddenly said that this area happened to be under his jurisdiction, and he really had the ability.
"It's not necessary. We businessmen do serious business. I never use power to overwhelm others."
Chu Lingyun waved his hand, and the expressions of the others were different.
If you don't use power to overwhelm others, how did the previous few die?Can't think of committing suicide?
But these words, they dare not say it.
"They hoard food and want to make money. Recently, the price of food they collect is also very high. I can understand. Don't they want to make money? Let's provide them with more food. You have a lot of boats. I hope everyone will get Send out half of the boats to deliver food."
China is short of food, in fact, the whole world is short of food at this time.
But no matter how short it is, there are places where it is rich.
There is a lot of food in Southeast Asia, and there is some in Japan, as well as Australia, the United States, etc., all of which have food.
The most important thing for smugglers is ships, and their goods are all transported by ships.
"No problem, I took out [-]% of the boats. Recently, China is celebrating the New Year, and there are not many goods left. All of them happen to be used to transport grain."
Years ago, all the money that should have been earned has been earned, and all the goods have been sold out.
Chinese people like to rest during the Chinese New Year, and there are indeed spare boats during this time.
"Thank you."
Chu Lingyun smiled and nodded. After a while, these people gathered more than 50 freighters. Chu Lingyun only needed half, and almost everyone contributed [-]% to [-]%.
If you move less goods, you can earn less money. Ishihara Heng's affairs must be supported.
"Very good, no matter how much the grain price is, you just accept it, and then follow my order to release the goods. If you make money, it's yours, and if you lose it, I'll cover it."
Chu Lingyun finally said that everyone understood what he meant.
This is to drive out those grain merchants.
The reason why grain merchants hoard grain is that there is not much grain on the market, and rare goods are available for living. They buy grain to sell. The less grain there is, the higher the price is, and the more they earn in the end.
Is there really not that much food?
Not necessarily, the warehouses of these grain merchants are almost full, and they store a large amount of grain. All the grain is taken out, and there is absolutely no food shortage now.
"No, I would be happy to help Shi Yuan-kun even if I lose money."
One person said, and the others responded one after another.
The price of grain in foreign countries is already lower, so even if you pay, how much can you pay? Shi Yuanheng wants to suppress the price of grain, let these grain merchants go bankrupt, and then take back their grain.
In the future, food will definitely increase, so maybe they won't lose money, and they can make a lot of money.
Besides, this time they are doing it with Shiyuan Trading Company, so they are not worried at all.
The energy of these people is also not small, and they are not afraid of those grain merchants.
"Thank you all, let's start raising food now, I still have some food in there, let it out first, and your food can catch up as soon as possible."
Chu Lingyun nodded with a smile. If you want cheap food, you don't have to sell it yourself.
He has this ability, but he has ready-made helpers, so there is no need to use them for nothing.
With their help, this is a business war, an aboveboard war.
Smugglers vs black-hearted grain merchants.
Anyway, they are all dogs. Dogs bite dogs, and it is the common people who get the benefits in the end.
Back at the firm, Chu Lingyun immediately called for Daze.
"Take out our grain and sell it at a [-]% discount on the market price, limit one person to buy ten catties at a time, and issue a grain card. If you don't have a license, you can't buy it. I will ask the police to help maintain order. If a grain merchant comes to snatch our food , let Takemoto handle it."
Chu Lingyun ordered that he had a lot of food in his hands, but he did not underestimate people's greed.
Not to mention so many grain merchants, any big grain merchant will be able to eat all his grain.
Other grains cannot arrive temporarily, and his batch of grains needs to support the market for a period of time.
Shiyuan Trading Company also sent a large number of ships to buy grain, and when all the ships returned, all these grain merchants would go bankrupt.
The major stores of Shiyuan Commercial Bank have temporarily increased their food sales points.
Before opening the warehouse to release grain, Daze did publicity, but the common people didn't believe the grain price he said.
But there were still quite a few ordinary people, carrying grain bags, to the storefronts of Shiyuan Commercial Banks everywhere to wait.
What if it was true?
The recent increase in food prices has made it unbearable for many people. Even those who live a good life on weekdays are struggling now.
Not to mention eating well, there is no guarantee that you will even be full.
It is purely to eat less and continue life.
"Line up in line to receive food stamps, whoever dares to receive more will be taken directly to prison."
The police were nearby to maintain order, and the guards of Shiyuan Trading Company were in charge of supervision.
If Chu Lingyun did not agree, many garrisons and military police would come to help.
It doesn't matter to use the police, but to use the garrison and military police is a bit of a fuss, and it is not necessary.
However, Takemoto sent people to keep an eye on those grain merchants secretly. If they dared to make any changes, Takemoto would not spare them.
"It's really [-]% off. I bought it, I bought it, and I can have a full meal today."
Soon, some people who had bought grain happily left with their grain bags.
Each person is limited to purchase ten catties, and only one purchase per day is allowed.
This is to prevent grain merchants from coming to grab grain. If Chu Lingyun has enough grain in his hands, he can ignore them. If they dare to eat, Chu Lingyun dares to let them go until they can't eat any more.
It is a pity that the food is temporarily insufficient and must be restricted.
More and more common people flocked to the place where grain was sold. They bought cheap grain and wept with joy.
After such a long time, someone finally sells food cheaply, and if they don't sell it, people will really starve to death.
In a restaurant, more than a dozen big grain merchants gathered together.
Everyone has a sad look on their faces.
Shiyuan Trading Company asked them to buy grain before and gave them [-]% of the market price, but they did not agree.
These people are indeed grouped together, ready to fight against Shiyuan Trading Company.
But I didn't expect that after they refused, Shiyuan Trading Company would do such a great job, giving [-]% off the food.
It was their lives. After the Shiyuan Commercial Bank released the grain, the business of their grain store plummeted. Some stores even had no one, and they were all their own buddies.
"President Wang, you are the president of the chamber of commerce, you want to decide for us?"
One person said that the Lao Wang he was talking about was an old grain merchant in his 60s. His grain store was the largest and stored the most grain.
Old Wang had more food in his hands than Chu Lingyun.
After all, Shiyuan Trading Company is not mainly engaged in the food business, food is just incidental.
"That's Ishihara Hiroshi, what do you want me to do?"
Lao Wang shook his head, he is not stupid, even though he is the chairman, his son-in-law is Japanese, and he is a Japanese military officer, but he is no match for Ishihara Heng.
"Shi Yuanheng went too far. This is not giving us a way to survive. Today Liu Ji secretly sent someone to buy food, but he was arrested by the military police and ransacked the house."
Another person said angrily.
Shiyuan Commercial Bank opened a warehouse to release food. If there is no limit, they will definitely be able to eat it.
They don't know how much grain the Shiyuan Trading Company has, but it must not be too much. After all, warehouses are needed to store grain. The warehouses of the Shiyuan Trading Company are mainly in Shanghai, so they know how much there is.
20 shi is about the same.
Not to mention 20 shi, even 30 or 40, they can still eat it.
However, the Shiyuan Commercial Bank is restricting the distribution of grain, and each person is limited to buying ten catties per day.
He also said that grain merchants like them are not allowed to buy.
Some people were not afraid of death, but greedy for profit, and secretly sent people to buy food, only to have their homes ransacked by military police when they turned around.
Seeing the lesson, how dare other people do this, and they are getting impatient.
"Let's wait until he sells out. Shiyuan Trading Company is too strong, but the food in his hands is far inferior to ours. In the end, he is no match for us."
President Wang gritted his teeth and said, but his heart was bleeding.
The food released by Shiyuan Trading Company is equivalent to their money. There is a shortage of food, but the population is so large.
As long as they raise the price of grain, the common people must buy their grain.
This way they can make more money.
Shiyuan Trading Company sells cheap grain, and fools will buy their expensive grain. These people have grain in their hands, and they will not buy it again for a short period of time.
It is equivalent to their period of time, only losses, no gains.
All the income that should have been destroyed by Shiyuan Trading Company.
"That's all."
Others sighed that Shiyuan Trading Company was too big, they couldn't afford to offend them.
The cause of this incident was that Shiyuan Trading Company came to collect their grain, but they did not agree, which led to retaliation.
The loss has already been incurred, and the arm can't twist the thigh, so I can only pinch my nose to recognize it.
"Boss, you are still taller."
Fang Shiyi gave Chu Lingyun a thumbs up. He knew best that Chu Lingyun's purpose was not to make money at all, but to bring down food prices.
But Shiyuan Trading Company couldn't do it directly, so it just let it go so casually, and the behavior of suppressing food prices became reasonable.
Can't fault anyone.
Let people go to collect the grain first, it seems that they want to get a share of the grain business.
Waiting for those grain merchants to refuse, then release grain at a lower price and suppress the price of grain. On the surface, it is aimed at those grain merchants, but in fact it is the common people who benefit.
Moreover, Ishihara Hiroshi mobilized a large number of cargo ships and was returning from transporting grain.
After this batch of grain arrives, a large number of grain merchants will go bankrupt.
Once they go bankrupt, the food will fall into Shi Yuanheng's hands, and they have the final say on how to arrange it at that time.
In the hands of ordinary people, they can also save enough food to survive this winter.
"This is just a temporary solution, not for long."
Chu Lingyun sighed, this method is effective in the short term, but it only treats the symptoms but not the root cause.
The most fundamental reason is that due to the insufficient food production caused by the war, China has a large population and needs a large amount of food.
Not to mention mobilizing these smugglers, even if he mobilized all the people in the Wenshe, it would be impossible to change the status quo.
With hundreds of millions of people, he cannot help so many people.
Right now, the only people who can help are the people in Shanghai, and there is nothing he can do in other places.
"It's good for a while, at least the common people won't starve to death."
Fang Shiyi is a college student, so it's not that he doesn't understand everything. He understands that the current situation cannot be changed by Shi Yuanheng alone.
The output cannot keep up, and there are so many people, all relying on imports, which is simply unrealistic under the current conditions.
"Go and send a batch of food to Ezaki He, the people on his side need it more."
Chu Lingyun instructed, Ezaki He is good, he knows not to purchase too much grain, so as not to increase the price of grain again.
Now is not the future, the country has very strict control over food raw materials.
Once you go up, it's hard to come down.
Businessmen are profit-seeking, and whoever wants to earn more if they can make money.
For many commodities, the price will not decrease after the price increases, especially in the terminal, the price of raw materials will be reduced, but the price of finished products will not be reduced.
"Okay, others don't understand, but I understand you."
Alchemist Yi nodded heavily, Shi Yuanheng used this method to do what the Red Party should do.
Shi Yuanheng is rich, but he can't directly use the money to distribute to the common people. His money has many needs. For example, this time, if it is not through a roundabout way to open warehouses and sell grain, many people will starve to death. .
The food distribution continued, and more people came the next day, forming a long queue.
They have to get the food stamps first, and then go to buy food, each time a maximum of ten catties.
With such a long queue, it is difficult for one person to buy twice.
Shiyuan Trading Company said that they are raising grain in various places, and selling grain at low prices will not stop, and everyone will be able to buy grain in the future.
This is a great man who definitely saved everyone's life.
"Little Ishihara, what a loss."
Liaison Department, Abe smiled and shook his head when he heard about Ishihara Trading Company.
The same is true of these grain merchants. Since Shi Yuanheng is keeping an eye on them, it would be great to honestly hand over the source of income. Shi Yuanheng eats meat, and they can at least drink some soup.
Ishihara Heng, who insisted on forcing him, went crazy, now it's all right, let alone soup, there is no northwest wind.
This round of food turmoil has passed, and I don't know how many people will hang themselves.
He has no objection to Shi Yuanheng robbing grain merchants of money. The more money Shi Yuanheng has, the better. Recently, he is very satisfied. Every month Shi Yuanheng will ask him to manage a group of people.
Even if Ishihara Heng can do it, I still leave it to him.
Ishihara Heng is sensible, so he naturally wants to support him.
What's more, Ishihara Heng has made more money, and will operate more people in the future, and some of the money will fall into his hands.
It has been less than a year since he came to the Liaison Department, and now he has earned back all his capital, and gained a lot more, and all the money he gets in the future will be all his profits.
Iwai Mansion, the press release for Ishihara Trading Company has been written.
"This Shi Yuanheng has done a good deed."
Yuan Yida said with a smile, but Mr. Weng snorted coldly: "What kind of good is he doing? His real purpose is not to be like those dog food merchants, wanting to occupy the food market and make more money."
"You can't say that. Although his goal is to make money, at least the common people have quenched their thirst. At this time, food is distributed at a low price, but it has saved many people."
Yuan Yida shook his head, ordinary people don't know the way inside, they know it very well.
Ishihara Trading Co., Ltd. focused on the huge profits of grain, and the grain merchants did not let go. Ishihara Heng wanted to squeeze them all out and monopolize the market.
Although food prices will continue to rise in the future, at least the people are saved right now.
As for the future, people are starving to death, so how can they care so much.
"You're right, it depends on how long this food war lasts."
"Don't worry, it won't stop in the short term. Shiyuan Commercial Bank has a lot of money and is not afraid of losing money. Those grain merchants are also strong. The harder they fight, the more common people will benefit."
Yuan Yida laughed and said, the common people are saved, who would have thought that it was a Japanese who saved them.
And the Japanese didn't feel at ease at all.
The food distribution continued, and the common people could buy low-priced food every day for several days in a row. Now their complexion has improved a lot, but there are still many people queuing.
Every day is eligible to buy, everyone is frightened by hunger, and wants to buy more and save them in case they are not needed.
The grain warehouse of Shiyuan Commercial Bank is decreasing visible to the naked eye.
After Chu Lingyun took action, he did not rely solely on these grains. Suzhou, Hangzhou, Wuhan and other places were also raising food urgently. The grain prices there were also very high, but not as outrageous as in Shanghai.
The grain bought at a high price was sold at a low price by him to balance the grain price.
However, Chu Lingyun didn't dare to buy more. The price of grain in Shanghai has stabilized. Don't let other places go up, it will go against his original intention.
In the midst of this food war in full swing, the Spring Festival is coming as promised.
Chu Lingyun spent the Spring Festival with Nixie and others, and it was another year that he couldn't go home.
The sound of firecrackers kept ringing outside. This year, at least many ordinary people can live with a smile. They don't have to worry about food, and they can have a good New Year's Eve dinner.
This is enough.
After the Spring Festival, grains from North Korea and Japan were first shipped to Shanghai.
The grain depot of Shiyuan Commercial Bank has bottomed out, and this batch of grain came at a very timely time. Shiyuan Commercial Bank continued to sell grain at a low price, and the grain merchants were miserable.
This year, they had the most heartwarming life.
Many people stored a large amount of grain, which not only put up all their capital, but also borrowed a lot of usury.
Originally, he wanted to make a good fortune by taking advantage of this food shortage, but who would have thought that Cheng Yaojin would appear suddenly.
"President Wang, I can't hold on any longer. If you have no choice, I will sell food at a low price."
Many grain merchants gathered in the chamber of commerce, and one grain merchant said in grief and indignation that the money he borrowed was due, and it would be even worse if he didn't pay.
"Don't worry, I have inquired that the Shiyuan Trading Company has run out of food, if we hold on for a while, we will definitely win."
Chairman Wang comforted him, and a person beside him said quietly: "President Wang, are you so closed? I heard that Shiyuan Trading Company came back with [-] large ships, all of which were grain. The store’s granaries are all full and there is still room to spare.”
"Really, where did they get so much food?"
Many grain merchants panicked, just these made them miserable, and there will be more follow-up, are they still alive?
"really?"
President Wang's face changed, and the thing he was most worried about happened.
Shiyuan Trading Company has money and is not afraid of losing money at all, but they can't hold on.
If the Shiyuan Commercial Bank really had a steady stream of food coming in, there would definitely be more than one bankrupt in the end, and everyone present here would be finished.
"Of course it's true. I don't care about you guys. I'm going to Shiyuan Trading Company to see if he wants [-]% of the market price."
The grain merchant who spoke shook his head and stood up. Although he could still hold on, he couldn't hold on for long.
Dispose of the grain in your hands as soon as possible now to save your life.
Otherwise, once other grain merchants can't hold on, and collectively release grain, the price of grain will drop at that time, and the fear is that Shiyuan Commercial Bank will not give them such an opportunity.
Shi Yuanheng was really ruthless this time, relying on his wealth, wealth and power to bully innocent people like them.
I wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to make a good fortune, but being tricked by Ishihara Heng, not to lose the underpants, is the best result.
"I'm leaving too."
There is more than one person who understands, so don't hold on if you can't hold on.
Now there is still a chance to release the grain and get the money back, even if you lose a little, it will not go bankrupt.
I was afraid that Ishihara Heng would follow up and block their way to release the goods.
At that time, it will not be [-]% of the market price, and it is lucky to be able to sell for [-]%.
They are familiar with this method. They used to do this before to suppress the common people who were producing food. They tried it repeatedly. Now the retribution finally came, and they also tasted the taste of being suppressed.
"There is no law of heaven, and whether there is any king's law. Let's sue. He Shi Yuanheng is very powerful, but he is just a merchant. Is it possible that he can cover the sky with one hand?"
Others looked at the shouter like a fool.
Wang Fa, Tian Li?
Is it useful to someone like Ishihara Hiroshi?
Now it is the world of the Japanese, Ishihara Hiroshi is extremely powerful among the Japanese, when he was approached by him, he agreed earlier.
At least you won't lose that much, and some people can even make money.
It's a pity that they were all dazzled by the profits they were about to get, and didn't recognize themselves.
"Don't talk about this, just wait and see how much food the Shiyuan Trading Company has in the future."
Chairman Wang sighed, it is useless to sue, and people are not afraid of you suing, who are they going to sue, Wang Jianhai?
Wang Jianhai is a dog raised by the Japanese, so it is useless to find him.
Find the Japanese to sue?
If people don't arrest them, they will be handed over to Shiyuan Trading Company.
"Ishihara-kun, the second batch has arrived."
Xintian came to Shiyuan Trading Company and whispered that the second batch of goods was more, a total of [-] ships.
This batch of goods was brought from Luzon and other places, as long as it is food, they want it, not only rice, but also sweet potatoes, potatoes and so on.
They don't dislike anything they can eat.
"Very well, you did a good job this time."
Chu Lingyun praised, Chu Lingyun didn't ask anything about the smugglers, it was Xintian who was coordinating, and he was very busy during this time.
Shi Yuanheng said, he doesn't care about the price, he just needs food.
As soon as this batch of goods arrives, the death penalty for those grain merchants can be pronounced.
"You are too much, this is what I should do."
Xintian hurriedly replied that Ishihara Heng was ruthless enough to offend him and there was no way out.
This time, those grain merchants are going to suffer a lot.
"Let them release all the goods, according to my price."
Chu Lingyun ordered, according to this price, everyone will lose money.
However, their purpose is to attack those grain merchants who are hoarding goods, defeat them, and they will have the final say on Shanghai's grain in the future.
"Yes."
Xintian took the order to leave, and not long after, the number of businesses that released grain suddenly increased, and more than a dozen smugglers released grain together.
These people sell at a loss, and they are so happy to sell.
"Master, it's not good. There are many merchants selling grain at a low price. I found out at the pier that a steady stream of grain ships have arrived in Shanghai, unloading one after another."
At Chairman Wang's house, the housekeeper trotted all the way to report.
"Clap."
The high-quality teacup in President Wang's hand fell to the ground and shattered, and his face turned pale.
"Who is feeding the food?"
Chairman Wang hurriedly asked, their food is still in the warehouse, no matter how good the food is, if it cannot be sold, it is not money.
"I've inquired. It's all Japanese business, and it's all those who take the goods."
Smuggling is smuggling, and Ishihara Heng is the biggest smuggler.
These people often come to them to buy food. Food is not their main business, and they just make a difference from the middle.
Shi Yuanheng actually mobilized these smugglers to fight against them together.
They can't stop a stone original firm, let alone so many more.
"It's over, it's over."
He has the most grain, much more than Shiyuan Trading Company. There is no shortage of grain in the market now, and there are so many people putting grain at a low price. These grains will definitely not be sold in the short term.
"Quickly, contact people from other places and sell them food at a low price."
Chairman Wang immediately ordered that there were too many compensations in Shanghai, and he could not sell the grain here. The shortage of grain is not only in Shanghai, but also in other places.
"Master, even if they want it, can we go out?"
The housekeeper smiled wryly, and President Wang's face turned even paler.
That's right, without formalities, their food is smuggled goods, and if they want to smuggle, no one can do it without Shi Yuanheng's consent.
Otherwise it is death.
He doesn't even have the qualifications to sell food now.
The food in his hand is not a little, so it is impossible to hide such a large amount of goods, if he is really discovered, then it will not be bankrupt, but all the family will be ransacked.
"Prepare a generous gift and go to Shiyuan Trading Company."
President Wang said bitterly, they lost, this time they lost in a mess.
These smugglers are not short of money, and they can fully support them.
"Master, if we come to the door, we may lose even more. Otherwise, we will release the grain at a low price. Although it is only [-]% of the previous amount, we will not lose too much as long as it is finished."
The housekeeper said in a low voice, if you really ask Shi Yuanheng, then they are the meat on the chopping board.
How to deal with them at that time is entirely up to Shi Yuanheng.
"Do you think we can still sell out the grain when we open the warehouse?"
President Wang said bitterly that they had too much food, and the Shiyuan Commercial Bank released food in the early stage so that the common people would not be so short of food.
Now that so many people are releasing food, the food on the market will soon be saturated.
It's too late for them to sell now, unless the price is lowered.
But if they lower the price, these smugglers will not lower it?
People's purpose is not to make money, why sell at a loss is not for them.
If you resist stubbornly, your family may be destroyed in the end.
Chairman Wang can still understand this point.
Bringing the gift, President Wang rushed to Shiyuan Commercial House, and was surprised to find that many people in the chamber of commerce were waiting at the door.
It seems that he is not the only one who made the same decision.
The news of the food war in Shanghai has been known to all parts of the country.
Many places are envious of the cheap food in Shanghai. Some people even form a team to buy food in Shanghai. If they buy enough food and bring it back, it is much cheaper than buying medicine locally.
But those who can do this are mostly people from Suzhou and Hangzhou.
If it is too far away, transportation is a hassle.
If you buy too much, you will be checked on the road. If you buy too little, the travel expenses will be a big expense.
In Yanzhou, Ke Gong smiled slightly when he heard about it.
Chu Lingyun is really smart, and he used this method to help the common people. The people in Shanghai are blessed, and Chu Lingyun helped them solve the food crisis.
Selling food at a loss and subsidizing the people, but leaving no one to say anything, is indeed very high.
However, Chu Lingyun's biggest problem is about to arise. The grain merchants in Shanghai are about to fail, and the grain will definitely fall into his hands.
After he monopolizes food, he will definitely not be able to sell it at a lower price.
Otherwise, even a fool can see that something is wrong.
How will Chu Lingyun deal with it in the future, so that the common people can get benefits without being discovered by others?
Mr. Ke was really curious. In his busy schedule, he thought about it several times, what would he do next if he were Shi Yuanheng.
Unfortunately, he couldn't think of a solution.
Double monthly pass plus Chapter 4.
(End of this chapter)
"How many agreed to sell?"
Chu Lingyun was not surprised by this result at all. Who would give up the money in his pocket to others?
Even if Shiyuan Trading Company is very strong, it can't do too much. Chu Lingyun estimated that these grain merchants should unite to fight against Shiyuan Trading Company.
A single grain merchant, no matter how big it is, is just an egg to him.
And he is stone.
"There are three in total."
Daze lowered his head, two of the three companies were run by members of the cultural society, and one was the business of the people behind it, as long as they were not allowed to lose money, they were willing to be friends with the Ishihara Trading Company.
That company even took out all of its own purchase price.
In the early stage, it was not even [-]% off the market price, but in the later stage, it was [-]% or [-]% off. Together, it is still profitable to buy it at [-]% off.
But he said that he doesn't need to make money, as long as the capital is given to him, if the Shiyuan Commercial Bank is in urgent need of food, he can not take the capital.
When Daze explained the situation, Chu Lingyun smiled.
There are smart people, but not many.
"It's okay, I'll continue to ask tomorrow, ask all the grain merchants, at least get to know their bottom line, and understand their attitude."
Chu Lingyun didn't care, this result was within his expectation and the result he wanted.
If the grain merchant does not object, how can he reasonably suppress grain prices?
A Japanese businessman who suddenly shows kindness and sells grain at a low price will immediately attract suspicion from others.
Although he is not afraid now, it is always a trouble.
He can ignore other people, but when Abe or Nishio comes to ask, how should he answer?
"Yes."
Daze responded, the boss said that he wanted to find out.
Since it's a matter of finding out, it's okay for him to work harder, but every time he is rejected, he feels very humiliated.
At noon the next day, Chu Lingyun hosted a banquet for Shanghai smugglers at the restaurant.
These people made a lot of money by smuggling. With Shi Yuanheng standing in the way, they only need to pay [-]% of the payment, and they can take the goods safely.
They have made a lot of money recently and are very satisfied.
Ishihara Hiroshi was very tight, with Jun Shuishiro and Takemoto watching together, and everyone working together, people who did not get Ishihara Hiroshi's permission could not get involved in this business at all.
"Ishihara-kun, everyone is here."
Xintian sat next to Chu Lingyun. He is now the liaison officer of this group and reports the situation to Shi Yuanheng once a month.
Everyone is very honest, no one dares to play tricks.
Who wants to be troublesome when they can make money quietly?
Greedy has long been sunk into the Huangpu River, and now only the bones remain.
"To invite everyone today is to ask for something."
Chu Lingyun said lightly, everyone was startled, Shi Yuanheng actually asked them for help?
"Shi Yuan-kun, just say it, as long as we can help, we will definitely do our best."
A general responded first, and everyone responded one after another, and they all agreed.
Chu Lingyun glanced at Xintian, he knew what was going on.
"Recently, the grain price has been soaring. Mr. Shi Yuan originally wanted to collect grain from all the grain merchants, but they didn't agree." Xintian said slowly.
"What? How dare someone disrespect Shi Yuan-kun?"
"The price of grain is indeed too high, and these grain merchants are too dark."
"Ishihara-kun, tell me, what should we do?"
Everyone responded that they were doing a smuggling business, and the smuggled goods included food, but not bulk.
"I might as well bring someone to smash their store and confiscate all the food."
The head of the Liaison Department suddenly said that this area happened to be under his jurisdiction, and he really had the ability.
"It's not necessary. We businessmen do serious business. I never use power to overwhelm others."
Chu Lingyun waved his hand, and the expressions of the others were different.
If you don't use power to overwhelm others, how did the previous few die?Can't think of committing suicide?
But these words, they dare not say it.
"They hoard food and want to make money. Recently, the price of food they collect is also very high. I can understand. Don't they want to make money? Let's provide them with more food. You have a lot of boats. I hope everyone will get Send out half of the boats to deliver food."
China is short of food, in fact, the whole world is short of food at this time.
But no matter how short it is, there are places where it is rich.
There is a lot of food in Southeast Asia, and there is some in Japan, as well as Australia, the United States, etc., all of which have food.
The most important thing for smugglers is ships, and their goods are all transported by ships.
"No problem, I took out [-]% of the boats. Recently, China is celebrating the New Year, and there are not many goods left. All of them happen to be used to transport grain."
Years ago, all the money that should have been earned has been earned, and all the goods have been sold out.
Chinese people like to rest during the Chinese New Year, and there are indeed spare boats during this time.
"Thank you."
Chu Lingyun smiled and nodded. After a while, these people gathered more than 50 freighters. Chu Lingyun only needed half, and almost everyone contributed [-]% to [-]%.
If you move less goods, you can earn less money. Ishihara Heng's affairs must be supported.
"Very good, no matter how much the grain price is, you just accept it, and then follow my order to release the goods. If you make money, it's yours, and if you lose it, I'll cover it."
Chu Lingyun finally said that everyone understood what he meant.
This is to drive out those grain merchants.
The reason why grain merchants hoard grain is that there is not much grain on the market, and rare goods are available for living. They buy grain to sell. The less grain there is, the higher the price is, and the more they earn in the end.
Is there really not that much food?
Not necessarily, the warehouses of these grain merchants are almost full, and they store a large amount of grain. All the grain is taken out, and there is absolutely no food shortage now.
"No, I would be happy to help Shi Yuan-kun even if I lose money."
One person said, and the others responded one after another.
The price of grain in foreign countries is already lower, so even if you pay, how much can you pay? Shi Yuanheng wants to suppress the price of grain, let these grain merchants go bankrupt, and then take back their grain.
In the future, food will definitely increase, so maybe they won't lose money, and they can make a lot of money.
Besides, this time they are doing it with Shiyuan Trading Company, so they are not worried at all.
The energy of these people is also not small, and they are not afraid of those grain merchants.
"Thank you all, let's start raising food now, I still have some food in there, let it out first, and your food can catch up as soon as possible."
Chu Lingyun nodded with a smile. If you want cheap food, you don't have to sell it yourself.
He has this ability, but he has ready-made helpers, so there is no need to use them for nothing.
With their help, this is a business war, an aboveboard war.
Smugglers vs black-hearted grain merchants.
Anyway, they are all dogs. Dogs bite dogs, and it is the common people who get the benefits in the end.
Back at the firm, Chu Lingyun immediately called for Daze.
"Take out our grain and sell it at a [-]% discount on the market price, limit one person to buy ten catties at a time, and issue a grain card. If you don't have a license, you can't buy it. I will ask the police to help maintain order. If a grain merchant comes to snatch our food , let Takemoto handle it."
Chu Lingyun ordered that he had a lot of food in his hands, but he did not underestimate people's greed.
Not to mention so many grain merchants, any big grain merchant will be able to eat all his grain.
Other grains cannot arrive temporarily, and his batch of grains needs to support the market for a period of time.
Shiyuan Trading Company also sent a large number of ships to buy grain, and when all the ships returned, all these grain merchants would go bankrupt.
The major stores of Shiyuan Commercial Bank have temporarily increased their food sales points.
Before opening the warehouse to release grain, Daze did publicity, but the common people didn't believe the grain price he said.
But there were still quite a few ordinary people, carrying grain bags, to the storefronts of Shiyuan Commercial Banks everywhere to wait.
What if it was true?
The recent increase in food prices has made it unbearable for many people. Even those who live a good life on weekdays are struggling now.
Not to mention eating well, there is no guarantee that you will even be full.
It is purely to eat less and continue life.
"Line up in line to receive food stamps, whoever dares to receive more will be taken directly to prison."
The police were nearby to maintain order, and the guards of Shiyuan Trading Company were in charge of supervision.
If Chu Lingyun did not agree, many garrisons and military police would come to help.
It doesn't matter to use the police, but to use the garrison and military police is a bit of a fuss, and it is not necessary.
However, Takemoto sent people to keep an eye on those grain merchants secretly. If they dared to make any changes, Takemoto would not spare them.
"It's really [-]% off. I bought it, I bought it, and I can have a full meal today."
Soon, some people who had bought grain happily left with their grain bags.
Each person is limited to purchase ten catties, and only one purchase per day is allowed.
This is to prevent grain merchants from coming to grab grain. If Chu Lingyun has enough grain in his hands, he can ignore them. If they dare to eat, Chu Lingyun dares to let them go until they can't eat any more.
It is a pity that the food is temporarily insufficient and must be restricted.
More and more common people flocked to the place where grain was sold. They bought cheap grain and wept with joy.
After such a long time, someone finally sells food cheaply, and if they don't sell it, people will really starve to death.
In a restaurant, more than a dozen big grain merchants gathered together.
Everyone has a sad look on their faces.
Shiyuan Trading Company asked them to buy grain before and gave them [-]% of the market price, but they did not agree.
These people are indeed grouped together, ready to fight against Shiyuan Trading Company.
But I didn't expect that after they refused, Shiyuan Trading Company would do such a great job, giving [-]% off the food.
It was their lives. After the Shiyuan Commercial Bank released the grain, the business of their grain store plummeted. Some stores even had no one, and they were all their own buddies.
"President Wang, you are the president of the chamber of commerce, you want to decide for us?"
One person said that the Lao Wang he was talking about was an old grain merchant in his 60s. His grain store was the largest and stored the most grain.
Old Wang had more food in his hands than Chu Lingyun.
After all, Shiyuan Trading Company is not mainly engaged in the food business, food is just incidental.
"That's Ishihara Hiroshi, what do you want me to do?"
Lao Wang shook his head, he is not stupid, even though he is the chairman, his son-in-law is Japanese, and he is a Japanese military officer, but he is no match for Ishihara Heng.
"Shi Yuanheng went too far. This is not giving us a way to survive. Today Liu Ji secretly sent someone to buy food, but he was arrested by the military police and ransacked the house."
Another person said angrily.
Shiyuan Commercial Bank opened a warehouse to release food. If there is no limit, they will definitely be able to eat it.
They don't know how much grain the Shiyuan Trading Company has, but it must not be too much. After all, warehouses are needed to store grain. The warehouses of the Shiyuan Trading Company are mainly in Shanghai, so they know how much there is.
20 shi is about the same.
Not to mention 20 shi, even 30 or 40, they can still eat it.
However, the Shiyuan Commercial Bank is restricting the distribution of grain, and each person is limited to buying ten catties per day.
He also said that grain merchants like them are not allowed to buy.
Some people were not afraid of death, but greedy for profit, and secretly sent people to buy food, only to have their homes ransacked by military police when they turned around.
Seeing the lesson, how dare other people do this, and they are getting impatient.
"Let's wait until he sells out. Shiyuan Trading Company is too strong, but the food in his hands is far inferior to ours. In the end, he is no match for us."
President Wang gritted his teeth and said, but his heart was bleeding.
The food released by Shiyuan Trading Company is equivalent to their money. There is a shortage of food, but the population is so large.
As long as they raise the price of grain, the common people must buy their grain.
This way they can make more money.
Shiyuan Trading Company sells cheap grain, and fools will buy their expensive grain. These people have grain in their hands, and they will not buy it again for a short period of time.
It is equivalent to their period of time, only losses, no gains.
All the income that should have been destroyed by Shiyuan Trading Company.
"That's all."
Others sighed that Shiyuan Trading Company was too big, they couldn't afford to offend them.
The cause of this incident was that Shiyuan Trading Company came to collect their grain, but they did not agree, which led to retaliation.
The loss has already been incurred, and the arm can't twist the thigh, so I can only pinch my nose to recognize it.
"Boss, you are still taller."
Fang Shiyi gave Chu Lingyun a thumbs up. He knew best that Chu Lingyun's purpose was not to make money at all, but to bring down food prices.
But Shiyuan Trading Company couldn't do it directly, so it just let it go so casually, and the behavior of suppressing food prices became reasonable.
Can't fault anyone.
Let people go to collect the grain first, it seems that they want to get a share of the grain business.
Waiting for those grain merchants to refuse, then release grain at a lower price and suppress the price of grain. On the surface, it is aimed at those grain merchants, but in fact it is the common people who benefit.
Moreover, Ishihara Hiroshi mobilized a large number of cargo ships and was returning from transporting grain.
After this batch of grain arrives, a large number of grain merchants will go bankrupt.
Once they go bankrupt, the food will fall into Shi Yuanheng's hands, and they have the final say on how to arrange it at that time.
In the hands of ordinary people, they can also save enough food to survive this winter.
"This is just a temporary solution, not for long."
Chu Lingyun sighed, this method is effective in the short term, but it only treats the symptoms but not the root cause.
The most fundamental reason is that due to the insufficient food production caused by the war, China has a large population and needs a large amount of food.
Not to mention mobilizing these smugglers, even if he mobilized all the people in the Wenshe, it would be impossible to change the status quo.
With hundreds of millions of people, he cannot help so many people.
Right now, the only people who can help are the people in Shanghai, and there is nothing he can do in other places.
"It's good for a while, at least the common people won't starve to death."
Fang Shiyi is a college student, so it's not that he doesn't understand everything. He understands that the current situation cannot be changed by Shi Yuanheng alone.
The output cannot keep up, and there are so many people, all relying on imports, which is simply unrealistic under the current conditions.
"Go and send a batch of food to Ezaki He, the people on his side need it more."
Chu Lingyun instructed, Ezaki He is good, he knows not to purchase too much grain, so as not to increase the price of grain again.
Now is not the future, the country has very strict control over food raw materials.
Once you go up, it's hard to come down.
Businessmen are profit-seeking, and whoever wants to earn more if they can make money.
For many commodities, the price will not decrease after the price increases, especially in the terminal, the price of raw materials will be reduced, but the price of finished products will not be reduced.
"Okay, others don't understand, but I understand you."
Alchemist Yi nodded heavily, Shi Yuanheng used this method to do what the Red Party should do.
Shi Yuanheng is rich, but he can't directly use the money to distribute to the common people. His money has many needs. For example, this time, if it is not through a roundabout way to open warehouses and sell grain, many people will starve to death. .
The food distribution continued, and more people came the next day, forming a long queue.
They have to get the food stamps first, and then go to buy food, each time a maximum of ten catties.
With such a long queue, it is difficult for one person to buy twice.
Shiyuan Trading Company said that they are raising grain in various places, and selling grain at low prices will not stop, and everyone will be able to buy grain in the future.
This is a great man who definitely saved everyone's life.
"Little Ishihara, what a loss."
Liaison Department, Abe smiled and shook his head when he heard about Ishihara Trading Company.
The same is true of these grain merchants. Since Shi Yuanheng is keeping an eye on them, it would be great to honestly hand over the source of income. Shi Yuanheng eats meat, and they can at least drink some soup.
Ishihara Heng, who insisted on forcing him, went crazy, now it's all right, let alone soup, there is no northwest wind.
This round of food turmoil has passed, and I don't know how many people will hang themselves.
He has no objection to Shi Yuanheng robbing grain merchants of money. The more money Shi Yuanheng has, the better. Recently, he is very satisfied. Every month Shi Yuanheng will ask him to manage a group of people.
Even if Ishihara Heng can do it, I still leave it to him.
Ishihara Heng is sensible, so he naturally wants to support him.
What's more, Ishihara Heng has made more money, and will operate more people in the future, and some of the money will fall into his hands.
It has been less than a year since he came to the Liaison Department, and now he has earned back all his capital, and gained a lot more, and all the money he gets in the future will be all his profits.
Iwai Mansion, the press release for Ishihara Trading Company has been written.
"This Shi Yuanheng has done a good deed."
Yuan Yida said with a smile, but Mr. Weng snorted coldly: "What kind of good is he doing? His real purpose is not to be like those dog food merchants, wanting to occupy the food market and make more money."
"You can't say that. Although his goal is to make money, at least the common people have quenched their thirst. At this time, food is distributed at a low price, but it has saved many people."
Yuan Yida shook his head, ordinary people don't know the way inside, they know it very well.
Ishihara Trading Co., Ltd. focused on the huge profits of grain, and the grain merchants did not let go. Ishihara Heng wanted to squeeze them all out and monopolize the market.
Although food prices will continue to rise in the future, at least the people are saved right now.
As for the future, people are starving to death, so how can they care so much.
"You're right, it depends on how long this food war lasts."
"Don't worry, it won't stop in the short term. Shiyuan Commercial Bank has a lot of money and is not afraid of losing money. Those grain merchants are also strong. The harder they fight, the more common people will benefit."
Yuan Yida laughed and said, the common people are saved, who would have thought that it was a Japanese who saved them.
And the Japanese didn't feel at ease at all.
The food distribution continued, and the common people could buy low-priced food every day for several days in a row. Now their complexion has improved a lot, but there are still many people queuing.
Every day is eligible to buy, everyone is frightened by hunger, and wants to buy more and save them in case they are not needed.
The grain warehouse of Shiyuan Commercial Bank is decreasing visible to the naked eye.
After Chu Lingyun took action, he did not rely solely on these grains. Suzhou, Hangzhou, Wuhan and other places were also raising food urgently. The grain prices there were also very high, but not as outrageous as in Shanghai.
The grain bought at a high price was sold at a low price by him to balance the grain price.
However, Chu Lingyun didn't dare to buy more. The price of grain in Shanghai has stabilized. Don't let other places go up, it will go against his original intention.
In the midst of this food war in full swing, the Spring Festival is coming as promised.
Chu Lingyun spent the Spring Festival with Nixie and others, and it was another year that he couldn't go home.
The sound of firecrackers kept ringing outside. This year, at least many ordinary people can live with a smile. They don't have to worry about food, and they can have a good New Year's Eve dinner.
This is enough.
After the Spring Festival, grains from North Korea and Japan were first shipped to Shanghai.
The grain depot of Shiyuan Commercial Bank has bottomed out, and this batch of grain came at a very timely time. Shiyuan Commercial Bank continued to sell grain at a low price, and the grain merchants were miserable.
This year, they had the most heartwarming life.
Many people stored a large amount of grain, which not only put up all their capital, but also borrowed a lot of usury.
Originally, he wanted to make a good fortune by taking advantage of this food shortage, but who would have thought that Cheng Yaojin would appear suddenly.
"President Wang, I can't hold on any longer. If you have no choice, I will sell food at a low price."
Many grain merchants gathered in the chamber of commerce, and one grain merchant said in grief and indignation that the money he borrowed was due, and it would be even worse if he didn't pay.
"Don't worry, I have inquired that the Shiyuan Trading Company has run out of food, if we hold on for a while, we will definitely win."
Chairman Wang comforted him, and a person beside him said quietly: "President Wang, are you so closed? I heard that Shiyuan Trading Company came back with [-] large ships, all of which were grain. The store’s granaries are all full and there is still room to spare.”
"Really, where did they get so much food?"
Many grain merchants panicked, just these made them miserable, and there will be more follow-up, are they still alive?
"really?"
President Wang's face changed, and the thing he was most worried about happened.
Shiyuan Trading Company has money and is not afraid of losing money at all, but they can't hold on.
If the Shiyuan Commercial Bank really had a steady stream of food coming in, there would definitely be more than one bankrupt in the end, and everyone present here would be finished.
"Of course it's true. I don't care about you guys. I'm going to Shiyuan Trading Company to see if he wants [-]% of the market price."
The grain merchant who spoke shook his head and stood up. Although he could still hold on, he couldn't hold on for long.
Dispose of the grain in your hands as soon as possible now to save your life.
Otherwise, once other grain merchants can't hold on, and collectively release grain, the price of grain will drop at that time, and the fear is that Shiyuan Commercial Bank will not give them such an opportunity.
Shi Yuanheng was really ruthless this time, relying on his wealth, wealth and power to bully innocent people like them.
I wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to make a good fortune, but being tricked by Ishihara Heng, not to lose the underpants, is the best result.
"I'm leaving too."
There is more than one person who understands, so don't hold on if you can't hold on.
Now there is still a chance to release the grain and get the money back, even if you lose a little, it will not go bankrupt.
I was afraid that Ishihara Heng would follow up and block their way to release the goods.
At that time, it will not be [-]% of the market price, and it is lucky to be able to sell for [-]%.
They are familiar with this method. They used to do this before to suppress the common people who were producing food. They tried it repeatedly. Now the retribution finally came, and they also tasted the taste of being suppressed.
"There is no law of heaven, and whether there is any king's law. Let's sue. He Shi Yuanheng is very powerful, but he is just a merchant. Is it possible that he can cover the sky with one hand?"
Others looked at the shouter like a fool.
Wang Fa, Tian Li?
Is it useful to someone like Ishihara Hiroshi?
Now it is the world of the Japanese, Ishihara Hiroshi is extremely powerful among the Japanese, when he was approached by him, he agreed earlier.
At least you won't lose that much, and some people can even make money.
It's a pity that they were all dazzled by the profits they were about to get, and didn't recognize themselves.
"Don't talk about this, just wait and see how much food the Shiyuan Trading Company has in the future."
Chairman Wang sighed, it is useless to sue, and people are not afraid of you suing, who are they going to sue, Wang Jianhai?
Wang Jianhai is a dog raised by the Japanese, so it is useless to find him.
Find the Japanese to sue?
If people don't arrest them, they will be handed over to Shiyuan Trading Company.
"Ishihara-kun, the second batch has arrived."
Xintian came to Shiyuan Trading Company and whispered that the second batch of goods was more, a total of [-] ships.
This batch of goods was brought from Luzon and other places, as long as it is food, they want it, not only rice, but also sweet potatoes, potatoes and so on.
They don't dislike anything they can eat.
"Very well, you did a good job this time."
Chu Lingyun praised, Chu Lingyun didn't ask anything about the smugglers, it was Xintian who was coordinating, and he was very busy during this time.
Shi Yuanheng said, he doesn't care about the price, he just needs food.
As soon as this batch of goods arrives, the death penalty for those grain merchants can be pronounced.
"You are too much, this is what I should do."
Xintian hurriedly replied that Ishihara Heng was ruthless enough to offend him and there was no way out.
This time, those grain merchants are going to suffer a lot.
"Let them release all the goods, according to my price."
Chu Lingyun ordered, according to this price, everyone will lose money.
However, their purpose is to attack those grain merchants who are hoarding goods, defeat them, and they will have the final say on Shanghai's grain in the future.
"Yes."
Xintian took the order to leave, and not long after, the number of businesses that released grain suddenly increased, and more than a dozen smugglers released grain together.
These people sell at a loss, and they are so happy to sell.
"Master, it's not good. There are many merchants selling grain at a low price. I found out at the pier that a steady stream of grain ships have arrived in Shanghai, unloading one after another."
At Chairman Wang's house, the housekeeper trotted all the way to report.
"Clap."
The high-quality teacup in President Wang's hand fell to the ground and shattered, and his face turned pale.
"Who is feeding the food?"
Chairman Wang hurriedly asked, their food is still in the warehouse, no matter how good the food is, if it cannot be sold, it is not money.
"I've inquired. It's all Japanese business, and it's all those who take the goods."
Smuggling is smuggling, and Ishihara Heng is the biggest smuggler.
These people often come to them to buy food. Food is not their main business, and they just make a difference from the middle.
Shi Yuanheng actually mobilized these smugglers to fight against them together.
They can't stop a stone original firm, let alone so many more.
"It's over, it's over."
He has the most grain, much more than Shiyuan Trading Company. There is no shortage of grain in the market now, and there are so many people putting grain at a low price. These grains will definitely not be sold in the short term.
"Quickly, contact people from other places and sell them food at a low price."
Chairman Wang immediately ordered that there were too many compensations in Shanghai, and he could not sell the grain here. The shortage of grain is not only in Shanghai, but also in other places.
"Master, even if they want it, can we go out?"
The housekeeper smiled wryly, and President Wang's face turned even paler.
That's right, without formalities, their food is smuggled goods, and if they want to smuggle, no one can do it without Shi Yuanheng's consent.
Otherwise it is death.
He doesn't even have the qualifications to sell food now.
The food in his hand is not a little, so it is impossible to hide such a large amount of goods, if he is really discovered, then it will not be bankrupt, but all the family will be ransacked.
"Prepare a generous gift and go to Shiyuan Trading Company."
President Wang said bitterly, they lost, this time they lost in a mess.
These smugglers are not short of money, and they can fully support them.
"Master, if we come to the door, we may lose even more. Otherwise, we will release the grain at a low price. Although it is only [-]% of the previous amount, we will not lose too much as long as it is finished."
The housekeeper said in a low voice, if you really ask Shi Yuanheng, then they are the meat on the chopping board.
How to deal with them at that time is entirely up to Shi Yuanheng.
"Do you think we can still sell out the grain when we open the warehouse?"
President Wang said bitterly that they had too much food, and the Shiyuan Commercial Bank released food in the early stage so that the common people would not be so short of food.
Now that so many people are releasing food, the food on the market will soon be saturated.
It's too late for them to sell now, unless the price is lowered.
But if they lower the price, these smugglers will not lower it?
People's purpose is not to make money, why sell at a loss is not for them.
If you resist stubbornly, your family may be destroyed in the end.
Chairman Wang can still understand this point.
Bringing the gift, President Wang rushed to Shiyuan Commercial House, and was surprised to find that many people in the chamber of commerce were waiting at the door.
It seems that he is not the only one who made the same decision.
The news of the food war in Shanghai has been known to all parts of the country.
Many places are envious of the cheap food in Shanghai. Some people even form a team to buy food in Shanghai. If they buy enough food and bring it back, it is much cheaper than buying medicine locally.
But those who can do this are mostly people from Suzhou and Hangzhou.
If it is too far away, transportation is a hassle.
If you buy too much, you will be checked on the road. If you buy too little, the travel expenses will be a big expense.
In Yanzhou, Ke Gong smiled slightly when he heard about it.
Chu Lingyun is really smart, and he used this method to help the common people. The people in Shanghai are blessed, and Chu Lingyun helped them solve the food crisis.
Selling food at a loss and subsidizing the people, but leaving no one to say anything, is indeed very high.
However, Chu Lingyun's biggest problem is about to arise. The grain merchants in Shanghai are about to fail, and the grain will definitely fall into his hands.
After he monopolizes food, he will definitely not be able to sell it at a lower price.
Otherwise, even a fool can see that something is wrong.
How will Chu Lingyun deal with it in the future, so that the common people can get benefits without being discovered by others?
Mr. Ke was really curious. In his busy schedule, he thought about it several times, what would he do next if he were Shi Yuanheng.
Unfortunately, he couldn't think of a solution.
Double monthly pass plus Chapter 4.
