Chapter 85 Sweet Port Storm-Sugar Industry Association

"Now, there is a lack of someone who can speak and has some influence to start." Wen Tong concluded.

Zhu An is very prestigious and is still the leader of Haiyitang. If he can convince him to cooperate, he will get half the result with twice the effort.

"However, if there is no head in this storm in the end, it cannot be considered the end." Chen Tianxiong said. The ambiguous victory is extremely dangerous.

"Besides, even if he is willing to cooperate, he will face the trouble of competing for leadership with him in a joint-stock company in the future."

Such a person who has long held authority will always feel unwilling to accept his power even if he surrenders for a while. When there is any turmoil, he will have a different intention and will suffer endless troubles.

Feng Guangfeng is a good person, but he is looked down upon by most people because of his identity and has little influence. They are not familiar with the others in the candy store.

"I don't think there is a need to find people everywhere." Chang Shide thought for a long time, "Since the other party sent Feng Guangfeng to the contact, it means that he still trusted him. We might as well make friends with this person and take him over as an agent. There is no need for him to call him up, just convey our meaning to them accurately."

He asked Liao Daxing to go to the Dachang Rice Tour and meet with Boss Zhu.

The next night, Feng Guangfeng arrived as promised.

"The purchase price in South China will not become." Wen Tong was straightforward. Everyone agreed not to make concessions to Haiyitang on the purchase price, so that they could clearly know who is the overlord of Leizhou sugar industry now.

Feng Guangfeng's face became ugly:

"Please ask a few shopkeepers again..."

"You don't have to say it," Wen Tong interrupted him. "South China is free to open a scale of Xuwen, and it has always been 2 taels and 5 cents. South China cannot destroy its credibility."

Merchants value the word "credit" the most. When this big hat is pressed down, Feng Guangfeng naturally has nothing to say.

"However, South China knows the difficulties," Wen Tongdao, "You are not in a position to be incited by Zhu An, and have a misunderstanding with me. I am magnanimous. As long as everyone breaks the sword with Zhu An from now on, I will naturally take care of you!"

Feng Guangfeng knew that the conditions had been made: they had to abandon Zhuan. But he still didn't understand what the benefits were. Even if his peers agreed to raise the purchase price to 2 taels and 5 cents like in South China, he would probably not receive much in the form of Haiyitang's disgrace now. The name of benevolence and righteousness in South China has spread throughout Leizhou. Unless they are willing to pay higher, the sugar merchants are unwilling to do so.

"Bidong means: South China can buy sugar for each company. The price is still 2 taels and 5 cents - it is not easy for sugar farmers. Where will the skin be without hair? Everyone has a way out, right?"

He said it very beautifully, and Feng Guangfeng had to say "yes". He himself thought that Haiyitang's method of reducing prices would be too harmful to the sugarcane farmers and was not very kind.

"As long as each company hand over the money, South China will help everyone collect as much money as possible. South China does not wear a hat, so it is considered in vain."

Feng Guangfeng was very quick-witted, but this was a solution. But South China really would be in vain for everyone? He immediately said:

"The nine-eight deductions per stone candy, and the peers should offer them themselves, which is counted as hard-earned money from South China!"

This is a very beautiful move. More than 100,000 stones of candy in and out, and nine-eight-deductibles are also a great benefit.

"This is a later story-" Wen Tong nodded, "However, this collection is subject to conditions."

The so-called condition is that each company must use cash to buy sugar from South China and cannot be owed credit.

"This is easy," Feng Guangfeng nodded repeatedly, "original acquisitions were made by various companies."

"Okay." Wen Tong said: After each company paid the money, South China handed it to each company the stack orders that recorded the number of sugar stones according to the conversion standard of 2 taels and 5 qians per stone.

However, after paying the money, the sugar bank cannot pick up the goods by itself. All the sugar will be shipped out of Leizhou from South China for sale. After the sale, the payment will be made according to the number on the stack.

"The current market in Guangzhou is three or eight cents per stone. It may rise or fall," Wen Tong said. "No matter whether it rises or falls, South China will finally settle the bill to each sugar bank according to this market. The amount of stones on the stack order will be as much as the silver." He added.

Feng Guangfeng was shocked. It was obvious that South China wanted to monopolize the sales rights of Leizhou Candy. In the past, Haiyitang did not get involved in this area. South China was indeed ambitious.

But he couldn't even say the word "no". It was not that he didn't want to, but that he didn't dare to do so. Since the other party spoke loudly, he was naturally worried. Thinking of the eleven heads in the rumor, Feng Guangfeng's neck felt cold.

However, if you think deeply about it, you will not lose money: if you ship it to Guangzhou for sale, the market will not be so. Although the market may rise in the future, it may also fall - this is an uncertain matter. If you ship it out yourself, you will have to bear the freight and the cost on the road, which is not a small number. Once you encounter a shipwreck or a pirate, you will suffer heavy losses and even lose all your money.

Especially for small peers, this condition is even preferential. Because small peers have no ability to transport and sell on their own, they are entrusted to Datong to sell on behalf of others. Not only does it require handling fees, but it also has to suffer some losses during the transportation and sales process. Either the big peers suppress the losses on the small peers, or there are various expenses.

If the transaction can be made locally in Leizhou at a market of 30,000 yuan, all companies will probably be willing to accept it.

In contrast, South China has much greater risks. Even if the market in Guangzhou can remain unchanged, South China will still have to pay for freight and expenses. If it falls, it will still suffer a huge loss.

Since they have given such conditions, they are obviously sure that the price of sugar will rise sharply. However, the rise and fall of sugar prices, in addition to the abundance, has a lot to do with the demand of "foreign merchants". It is difficult to predict how much sugar demand is for those overseas barbarians every year.

Feng Guangfeng thought about it and said cautiously: "Doing this will naturally be a great benefit to all peers, but the sugar price fluctuates greatly. If the market is not ideal, Guidong will inevitably suffer a lot. How can this cause it?"

"You don't have to worry about this." Wen Tong began to compliment him, "It is rare for a person like Boss Feng who is very sensible in the twenty-one peers in Haiyitang to have a very reasonable person: he can take care of himself and others!"

"I dare not, I dare not." Although I knew the other party was a compliment, Feng Guangfeng was always a despised person in Haiyi Hall. Now someone is happy to appreciate it. "Shopkeeper Wen has been awarded too much."

"When Zhuan asked everyone to lower the price, only Boss Feng came out and said justice to the sugarcane farmers. This is not easy." Wen Tong's opinion was effective, and according to the arrangement of the pre-exercise, he continued to compliment him. "The so-called 'Where will the skin be attached to the hair'? The people of Haiyitang actually didn't even have this knowledge, which was a waste of Boss Feng's intention."

After hearing this, Feng Guangfeng felt excited. He repeatedly suggested in Haiyitang: You should not hurt the sugarcane farmers because you want to confront South China - it is not good for the sugar industry in Leizhou in the long run. For these words, he has been coldly looked down upon and even harshly spoken. Unexpectedly, South China admires his remarks so much, and is mixed and speechless for a while. He feels like a confidant.

"As for why South China does this, there is a reason." Seeing that his expression changed, Wen Tong knew that this statement had effect. He said earnestly:

"The intention of my Dong to do this is nothing more than that since the sea ban was opened, more and more ships have been shipped for foreign goods. It is not counted that all kinds of goods are sold out, but those barbarians have also come to do business. Some foreigners deliberately kill the price in order to make a few small money on their own. The barbarians are also smart. If you look at this point, if you want to have a high price, they will find someone else, and there will always be someone willing to sell it. If you kill your own people, they will cut it bloodily. Do you think it's a pity?"

Feng Guangfeng has been to Guangzhou several times himself. Although he has never been a "yangzhuang" directly, he knows what Wen Tong said is true.

"So, South China wants to join forces with Leizhou's sugar industry colleagues to advance and retreat together." Wen Tongdao, "This is the original intention."

Feng Guangfeng nodded: "If we want to advance and retreat together, we should share profits and losses. The current approach is that the risk in South China is too great."

"Indeed, but when South China first arrived in Baofang, it was a conflict with its peers. Although it was Zhu An's fault, there were some grudges and needed to be resolved slowly. People were uneven, even for everyone's good, there was something wrong with it. So this time, South China took more risks."

"It's rare that Shopkeeper Wen is so honest!" Feng Guangfeng had a good impression of South China. "I will do my best to make a contribution to Haiyitang. But--" he asked carefully: "Each company only needs to pay the sugar money purchased. Are there any other expenses?"

"There is no exception, except for the 98-year-old fee." Wen Tong said, "I know this benefit was the benefit of each sugar bank. However, South China has not collected it in recent months, so it is necessary to ask each bank to give in."

"I can make the decision on this matter." Feng Guangfeng nodded, "but the matter of underwriting all sugar goods by the South China General Manager is very involved, and there will inevitably be some twists and turns."

Wen Tong suggested that everyone in charge of the sugar industry come and hold a meeting to discuss the charter to see if everyone has any doubts and ask questions on the spot so as not to waste time by sending messages back and forth. Feng Guangfeng thought this was good, but he was afraid that the invitation would be incomplete - some people were timid, and the current "famous" in South China is not small.

"It doesn't matter, the meeting is not held at the South China Sugar Shop," Wen Tong had already thought about it, "How about 'eating flower wine' at Ai's house two days later?"

"Okay!" Feng Guangfeng nodded repeatedly. Behind this "private door", the county government is connected, and no one dares to do anything. It is equivalent to the county government protecting everyone's safety. I can't help but admire the people in South China for their thoughtful thinking and beautiful work. Compared with the fellow workers in Haiyitang, they are either pedantic people who stick to the rules, or playboys who know nothing, or frogs in the well, blindly being arrogant. Even a person like Zhu Sanye, who is a little sensible, can't escape the word "focus on money". In comparison, it's like a different story. I couldn't help but sigh and say goodbye.

In the next two days, Feng Guangfeng ran around and persuaded those hesitant colleagues to attend the meeting. Not everyone accepted the invitation, and the timid people refused to attend, just said, "You go and discuss, I will do whatever you want."

There are several other families that were closer to Master Zhu San in the past, but now they are not convenient to turn against each other rashly. So they politely refuse.

There was no one in the family who refused openly.

After Wen Tong and others issued the invitation, 18 out of the twenty sugar banks responded - Riyicheng had no place in the future Leizhou Sugar Industry Blueprint. These sugar banks were the first shareholders of the future Leizhou Sugar Industry Co., Ltd.

This was actually the first general meeting of shareholders held in the flower hall of Ai Sao’s house three days later. After a thousand gold coins were sold in South China, she bought the entire yard and all the girls.

After eating, drinking and having fun, Chang Shide began to speak and explained to the participants the benefits of the suggestions put forward by South China. They can enjoy high profits without taking risks. All they spend is to pay the money to South China first.

Of course, it is necessary to have certain guarantees for everyone to hand over the real money to South China. Therefore, Chang Shide proposed that the sugar banks attending the meeting jointly organized a "Leizhou Sugar Industry Association" to register and receive letters at the "household houses" in the county government office. All the conditions proposed by South China were written in black and white. Each company paid one and deposited it.

"Does South China give you the stack order for the stone candy as much as I pay?"

"South China is just a collection of goods." Chang Shide explained. In theory, you can exchange for as much sugar as you spend, but the crushing season is now half over, so it depends on how much sugar the sugar farmers still have to sell.

According to Wen Tong and others' estimates, the actual sugar farmers still have about 130,000 to 40,000 shi of sugar. With the strength of the time-travel group, it is naturally impossible to eat all the remaining sugar. In fact, in addition to relying on Guangzhou Station to mobilize positions for them, they are now more using spot sales to get the sugar back and forth. Only by taking two-pronged approaches basically meet the cash flow of the acquisition.

To achieve the purpose of monopolizing the sales rights of Leizhou sugar, local capital must be mobilized, which is the main reason why they urgently need to form this sugar industry association and offer the superior conditions for collection and distribution.

The people here naturally don’t know the little Jiujiu in the tide of time travelers. The strength shown by South China in the handling of several crises has made these local sugar merchants feel "omnipotent".

"Okay, I'll pay 50,000 taels first, and I'll want a 20,000-stone platter tomorrow!" said Liu Yulin, a member of Datongxing, the owner of Rishenghao.

"Yes." Chang Shide nodded and turned around and said to Liao Daxing: "Remember, the daily magnitude is 20,000 stones."

Liu Yulin's statement was beyond the expectations of sugar merchants. Although 20,000 shi was only half of the previous year's figure for Rishenghao, 50,000 silver was handed over to South China, and his courage was enough. Everyone present immediately discussed it.
