Let¡¯s talk about Zhong Yi later.
Zhong Yi stayed in Zhaobaoshan for almost two hours. After the two Japanese destroyers arrogantly evacuated, Zhong Yi took a Ford car back to Yinjiang.
After returning to Yinjiang, Zhong Yi did not return to the city government, but came to Jiangbei first.
After learning the truth of the matter in the morning, Zhong Yi asked Kang Maode to help him deal with it.
The cement in the hands of Chinese businessmen in Shanghai has been bought by the Japanese. Zhong Yi has given up on it. However, the foreign businessmen in Shanghai still have a large amount of cement in their hands.
Zhong Yi wants to ask Commodus to lobby these foreign businessmen to sell cement at a fair price.
At this moment, Zhong Yi came to the U.S. Embassy in Yinjiang to listen to Commodus¡¯ reply.
"Zhong, I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't help you with this matter." As soon as they met, Commodus shrugged and said, "They are not willing to sell at a fair price, they have to sell at the market price."
Zhong Yi frowned and asked: "What is the current market price of cement in Shanghai?"
"One pound a ton," Commodus shrugged, "and it's still going up."
"Oh Tefak? One pound per ton?" Zhong Yi roared, "Why don't they grab it!"
One pound per ton is almost three dollars per ton, which is almost six times the original price!
The designed cement consumption for the two fortresses of Zhaobaoshan and Jinjishan alone exceeds 500,000 tons. Doesn¡¯t this mean that the cement consumption for the two fortresses alone is close to two million US dollars? This does not include labor, steel bars, wires and other building materials, as well as the cost of purchasing fortress cannons. Who can afford this?
You can¡¯t use all the money from selling the land to build the fortress, right?
If this is really the case, those wealthy businessmen in Yinjiang should trouble him, because the Yinjiang New District cannot be built, and the land they bought at a huge price is still just farmland, and they have to rely on crops year after year to cover their costs?
At that moment, Zhong Yi said angrily: "Kang Maode, have you told them that if they raise the price on the ground, they will be included in the unreliable list by the Yinjiang Municipal Government and even the National Government, and they will be refused investment after the new district is built in the future! We Chinese people are generous to our friends, but we will never be soft on our enemies!"
"I have said it all, but they are still unwilling to lower the price." Commodus shrugged and said, "Zhong, I don't know if you have read Marx's Capital. There is a very classic sentence in it. If there is one hundred percent If there is a profit of 200%, the capitalist will take risks; if there is a profit of 200%, the capitalist will flout all laws; if there is a profit of 300%, he will dare to commit any crime and even risk being hanged. Danger!"
After a pause, Commodus added: "But now, these foreign businessmen in Shanghai are likely to obtain 600% or even higher profits. Do you think they will care about the threat?"
"No, I guarantee they will get nothing! Do these fools really think that I am the same as those short-sighted and weak officials of the Republic of China?" Zhong Yi said with a dark face, "Maybe other officials of the Republic of China have encountered this kind of thing I can only give in and accept their exploitation, but I, Zhong Yi, am not that easy to bully!"
"But what can you do?" Commodus shrugged and said, "You can't just grab it, right? And you're in a hurry. Only Shanghai can buy such a quantity of cement in a short time. Hong Kong and Singapore don't have so much. And Foreign businessmen in Hong Kong and Singapore may not collude with foreign businessmen in Shanghai."
"Then buy it directly from the United States!" Zhong Yi said with a dark face, "It's unlikely that your domestic cement manufacturers in the United States will be bought by them, right?"
"That's impossible." Commodus said, "We have more than ten million cement manufacturers in the United States."
"Then help me buy it from the United States." Zhong Yi said in a deep voice, "The worst thing is that it will take some time."
"In this case, I will help you contact domestic cement manufacturers." Kang Maode said, "The price is absolutely reasonable. Even with the shipping freight, it is far cheaper than the current cement market price in Shanghai."
"Okay, then order one million tons for me first!" Zhong Yi said with a dark face, "As for the cost, we will deliver it later."
"It's a pleasure to cooperate." Commodus happily extended his right hand to Zhong Yi. It can not only help the partners in the business field, but also make a small fortune. This kind of thing always makes people feel happy physically and mentally.
Zhong Yi¡¯s mood couldn¡¯t be happier, time! It will be delayed for at least a month!
When Zhong Yi came out of the embassy with a dark face and was about to get into the car, he suddenly stood still again.
Ergouzi, who was opening the car door and preparing to get in from the other side, turned around in surprise: "Mayor, what's wrong?"
Zhong Yi?Without saying anything, he turned around and walked back to the American Embassy, ??and went straight to the second floor to Commodus' office.
Commodus was grinding coffee beans. When he saw Zhong Yi leaving and returning, he asked in surprise: "Zhong, why are you back again? Did you forget that I had something here?"
"It's not something." Zhong Yi shook his head and said, "There is something else."
"Is there anything else?" Commodus asked in surprise, "What's the matter?"
Zhong Yi said in a deep voice: "Little Japan is hoarding and maliciously raising the price of cement this time. Although it has not caused any substantial economic losses to Yinjiang, it also reminded me."
"Remind?" Commodus said, "What do you mean?"
Zhong Yi said: "Since Little Japan can speculate on cement, it can naturally speculate on other things too!"
After a pause, Zhong Yi continued: "Speculating on cement is nothing more than losing a month of precious time, but if Japan extends its claws to daily necessities, especially food, it will cause big trouble!"
Kang Maode spread his hands and said: "Yinjiang is a food producing area, so there won't be a food crisis, right?"
"There won't be a food crisis in the grain-producing areas? Not necessarily." Zhong Yi shook his head and said, "Anyway, if you don't make a big mistake, you should help me order some grain from the United States. Oh, by the way, what are you doing in the United States now? Food is the cheapest?¡±
"The cheapest thing is of course corn," Commodus said. "You can buy a ton of corn for less than three dollars, which is enough to feed a family of three for a whole year."
Zhong Yi said: "Then, help me buy another million tons of corn!"
"You want one million tons?" Commodus exclaimed, "That much?"
"Is it a lot?" Zhong Yi said, "It's enough to feed three million people for a year. If it weren't for lack of money, I would even want to buy 10 million tons directly!"
"Okay, okay, one million tons of cement plus one million tons of corn." Commodus spread his hands and said, "It will cost almost three million U.S. dollars. When will this money be received?"
"Tomorrow!" Zhong Yi said, "I will have it delivered early tomorrow morning, and then you place the order as soon as possible. Within a month, the first batch of cement and corn must be delivered to Yinjiang Port as scheduled!"
"Okai." Commodus said, "No problem." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading? Add this book to your favoritesI'm a member and bookmarked this chapterCopy the address of this book and recommend it to your friends for pointsChapter error? Click here to report
