"Yes, it's very good that you can say so much, and what you said is generally correct. There is a certain impact on the domestic and international economy.
It’s just that the impact is much greater than you think! "
Zhao Ming's words were serious and his tone was quite solemn, which made Boss Guo look a little solemn.
He is good at learning and likes to listen to other people's opinions, otherwise he would not have accumulated such rich business experience in just a few years.
"How many parts does the domestic coal mine consist of now?"
"Of course, Sir Zhao, part of the current domestic coal mines are foreign coal, which is brought in by foreigners on large cargo ships.
The second is joint-venture coal, which is built with foreign investment in domestic factories. Foreigners hold the vast majority of the shares, so most of the profits are still in the hands of foreigners.
The last one is National Coal, which is a self-produced and self-operated coal mine in China. "
Boss Guo said that he had understood this information before.
He also knows that currently, foreign coal and joint venture coal have the largest profits, and foreign coal and joint venture coal also have a profit ranking. Ten years ago, Japanese coal always came out on top.
Relying on China's cheap labor force, advanced mining and management technology, and its huge scale, Japan Coal occupied almost 40% of the domestic coal mine market from 1870 to 1910, and even reached 90% at one time. Market share.
Among them, National Coal is overwhelmed due to factors such as small scale, low output, and poor quality.
In the past ten years, the Sino-British joint venture and the Toyo-owned Fushun Coal Mine have accounted for half of the total domestic output.
In fact, by this period, National Coal already has a certain market share, but it is still difficult to have much competitiveness.
This is why Boss Guo feels that although the benefits are large enough, it is also the result of expanding the scale and reducing various costs.
Otherwise, it is impossible to compete with joint venture coal and foreign coal for the market. After all, others can get more profits at the same market price, and you may be able to barely make ends meet. How can this compare?
But what about the doubling of profits that Zhao Ming said?
"Well, Boss Guo, you are right. Now the world is indeed divided into three parts. Among them, joint-venture coal and foreign coal share half of the profits, and the national coal and coal mines combined will share half of the profits.
But have you noticed that the prices of Japanese coal and Fushun coal have increased recently? "
"Huh!"
Hearing this, Boss Guo fell into deep thought. It was a good thing he didn't mention it. When he mentioned it, he did remember that the price of daily coal had indeed increased recently.
However, the increase is not obvious. It has increased by about a few cents per ton, and this has only increased in the past two months. It is not much, but most of the coal is traded in bulk, and it is obvious when it is added up.
"Sir Zhao, do you know the reason?"
Boss Guo was a little surprised and confused. Before, he thought Chief Zhao might have something to do with him.
After all, becoming a regimental commander at such a young age would be unjustifiable without some background.
But I have some doubts. After all, this place doesn't look like a place where you can make a lot of money. Instead, Zhao Ming was asked to deal with this big mess.
But now he feels that there is some background here. Is this background going to reach the sky?
You can still know all these things on the prairie, and how did Chief Zhao know about the increase in coal prices in the East?
Could it be that there is someone over there at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs?
Inexplicably, Boss Guo's attitude towards Zhao Ming became more respectful.
Of course Zhao Ming knew about the increase in coal prices, not because he had anything to do with it, it was just some memories from later generations.
Of course, he is just an ordinary person, and it is impossible for him to know in detail the changes in prices in modern times.
It's just because he knows that this is a knowledge point about modern history in junior high school.
Because the world economic crisis will break out next year, international silver prices will fall, and Japanese people are measured by gold prices, so they will suffer a lot in many exchange ratios. If the price does not increase, they will not only make no profit but also lose money.
Not only the price of coal has increased, but the price of every item of goods here in Japan has also increased!
Secondly, Zhao Ming still remembered that September 18th would be September 18th in a few years. That incident was also written into the history books, but it triggered a boycott.
Many Japanese goods encounter obstacles in importing them.
Zhao Ming doesn't understand the current coal market, but he can predict that starting from next year will be the spring of national coal. By then, the price of national coal will generally increase slightly, not too much, but it will definitely be more expensive than Japanese coal. Low, it will also be lower than joint venture coal.
But the profits from it will only be greater.
"Haha! Boss Guo, I can only tell you that you can buy more houses from next year!"
"Huh? Buy a house? Why buy a house?"
Boss Guo was a little stunned, why did it involve Land Management?
"Of course, I'm afraid you won't be able to go overseas! Hahaha!" Zhao Ming laughed loudly as he spoke.
Boss Guo couldn't help but grin when he heard this. He really felt like countless oceans were waving at him.
"Boss Guo, you can inquire carefully when you go back. If as expected, the price of Japanese coal will rise by at least one yuan next year, and the price of joint venture coal will also rise a little.
Then it’s time for us to make money, but..."
When it came to the latter part, Zhao Ming was a little embarrassed.
Seeing this, Boss Guo knew that it was about sacrifice. There is no pie in the sky in this world.
Chief Zhao was not a fool from the beginning. On the contrary, he was shrewd. He had no choice but to wait silently, hoping that Chief Zhao would not make excessive demands.
"It's just Boss Guo, do you want to make this money?"
Zhao Ming's rhetorical question caught Boss Guo off guard. Nonsense, how could there be any reason why he wouldn't pick up the money when he could?
"Mr. Zhao, you are joking. Of course I want to get involved. But you can also see that I am only a second-rate dealer.
The money I earn is better than that of the big shots, but I really don’t have much food left at home! "
Boss Guo spread his hands helplessly as he spoke.
Zhao Ming was not surprised at all that the other party clearly stated the situation.
This time he wanted to draw a pie and attract investment. If he wanted to trick people into falling into this trap, of course he couldn't rush for success.
"Haha! Boss Guo, who said I want your money? Your money is useless to me!"
Zhao Ming shook his head and then said calmly, "And I tell you clearly that once my mine is set up, you will be the one to run it.
But this is because I value your ability, and at most I will let you invest in acquiring 5% of the shares. "
"Only five percent?!!"
Boss Guo immediately panicked upon hearing this, and Zhao Ming couldn't help but grin in his heart.
What he wants is this kind of reaction. In fact, no matter how lazy the horse is, as long as it is bitten by horse flies, it will be full of energy and run quickly.
This is called the horsefly effect. If you don’t give me a little stimulation, you really think you are a green onion!
Of course, this is not enough right now, we must continue to take strong medicine!
