Chapter 330 Shanghai Games (12)

Zhao Weizhong's situation is different. Because of the different foundations of starting a family, Zhao Weizhong can only stand firmly on the side of the East China Government. It is impossible to have another position. Moreover, he has a close relationship with the East China Government and knows a lot of confidential information. Therefore, he has a clear understanding of the East China Government and is not worried about failure.

But he was worried that the Han family was ungrateful and he stood in the wrong team and did the wrong thing this time. Although he and his wife both let it go to the Han family, if the Han family participated, they would completely cut off contact with the Han family, but after all, they were related, so they would really ignore it completely? Although it was considered to be suppressing the Han family at that time, Han Tingping was a man of weak ears and heartlessness and had no opinion. The next generation of the Han family was also short-sighted and mediocre. Therefore, Zhao Weizhong was also worried that the Han family would be profitable and did something wrong again behind his back. By then, he would not care, nor would he care.

Now that the East China Government has won, Zhao Weizhong’s heart is completely relieved. Finally, he no longer has to worry about the Han family causing trouble for him.

The businessmen involved in speculation asked Sheng Xuanhuai, Zhang Jian, Zhao Weizhong and others to come forward to help them submit the petition letter and plead for coordination from it. Of course, they also prepared a heavy gift. However, several people discussed it, but they did not receive the gift, but agreed to help submit the petition letter. After all, it was just a petition letter, which did not represent the position of several people. However, whether the petition letter was submitted or not was not guaranteed.

Three days later, the Shanghai Municipal Government officially replied that the merchants could only buy the supplies they had at the current normal market price, and they would not pay a penny for extra money, so they would not accept it.

It turned out that after the merchants' petition letter was transferred to the Shanghai Municipal Government by Sheng Xuanhuai, Zhang Jian, Zhao Weizhong and others, the government officials sneered at the content of the letter. A few days ago, these merchants were desperately purchasing supplies and raising prices. Now they were all lost in their hands. They lost all their money, and then they remembered asking the government to provide them with a guarantee. There was such a good thing. As for the conditions offered by the merchants, such as loyalty to the East China Government, this could only deceive the three-year-old child. Therefore, almost all officials advocated returning the petition letter or explicitly rejecting the unreasonable demands of the merchants.

Only Li Songchen believes that the conditions proposed by the merchants can be accepted, and the reason is very simple. This time, Qingdao has used strategic reserve materials to support Shanghai, and used them most of them. Now the East China Government is in the northwest and Mongolia still has military operations, so the reserve materials must be replenished as soon as possible to prevent demand from the northwest and Mongolian directions. If these materials can be bought back from the merchants at a low price, then in and out, not only will most of the injured materials be returned to the hands of the East China Government, but the East China Government also made a big profit from the price difference, even if it is to eliminate the back and forth delivery fees and labor, it is also profitable.

Of course, the recycling price cannot be based on the price index proposed by the merchants at 1.5 times, but is acquired at the current normal market price. In this way, the East China government will naturally make more profits, and at the same time, it will also give merchants a profound lesson. In the future, they will not dare to speculate easily in the territory of the East China government. Moreover, Li Songchen is not only worried that the merchants will refuse, because merchants urgently need to cash in the materials they have in hand and recover funds, and are waiting for the slowly fragmented and broken sale to be sold. In what year will it take to buy it, but now at the normal market price, there is only the East China government that buys in large quantities. Other buyers will definitely not buy at normal market price, but will ask for a price reduction. Therefore, only the East China government is not afraid of the merchants' rejection.

So the Shanghai Municipal Government sent the petition letter from merchants and Li Songchen's suggestion to Qingdao. It soon received a reply from the Executive Yuan, agreeing with Li Songchen's suggestion, and in terms of recycling prices, the price can be appropriately increased and some materials can be recycled as much as possible. Because as Li Songchen considered, although the East China Government won this economic war and made a big profit from it, it was not without a price. The biggest price was that the strategic reserve materials were almost half of them. Now the East China Government is in the northwest, and there are military operations in Mongolia, so the remaining reserve materials are not strong enough. However, if there are other unexpected events, it will not be enough. Therefore, according to Li Songchen's suggestion, if all these materials can be recycled, it would be of course better, let alone making a big profit and making a fortune.

However, although the Shanghai Municipal Government promised to recycle materials, it pushed the price to the normal market price, which also made many merchants feel embarrassed. It turned out that according to the prices proposed by the merchants in the petition letter, a small number of merchants would be forced to go bankrupt, but most merchants could still avoid forcing them. Although they were also severely damaged, according to the prices offered by the Shanghai Municipal Government, more than half of the merchants would go bankrupt, and others would suffer heavy losses. In the future, they could only operate small capitals to avoid forced transit. If they did not encounter good opportunities in the future, it would be difficult to turn over.

But the problem now is that if the materials are thrown into their hands, they cannot be saved, and all the funds are trapped. Apart from the Shanghai Municipal Government, there are no other buyers. Although the price is low, it is better to get some money back than to be completely trapped. So several businessmen with relatively strong assets first accepted the conditions of the Shanghai Municipal Government and sold the previously purchased materials to the Shanghai Municipal Government at the market price. Although they were bleeding in their hearts, the money was still a little relieved.

With the people who took the lead, there were naturally followers. Soon, more than 20 businessmen also accepted the conditions of the Shanghai Municipal Government and sold the supplies they had snatched to the Shanghai Municipal Government, and then took the money away from Shanghai and went home.

At this moment, news came that two merchants hanged themselves at home. It turned out that these two merchants were locals in Shanghai. When the merchants were rushing to buy and rushing prices, they could not resist the temptation, so they ignored Sheng Xuanhuai, Zhang Jian, Zhao Weizhong and others' repeated warnings, and finally participated in such speculation. They also borrowed a large amount of usury to mortgage the house and shops, which can be said to be a desperate bet.

Although the East China government strictly prohibits usury, once it is discovered, it will inevitably be severely punished. Not only will the full amount of the loan be confiscated, but lenders will also be severely punished. However, due to the huge benefits of usury, many people are still taking risks in secret. Of course, it is carried out in other names. After all, the East China government will not prohibit normal private lending.

Because the two of them ended late, the Shanghai Municipal Government had raised the price. The supplies they rush to buy were purchased at the highest level, so the cost was naturally much greater than that of other merchants. However, in the end, the merchants who rush to buy goods were defeated by rushing to raise prices, and the two of them also lost a lot, and even the coffin was paid.

The people who lend money loans see that they have no ability to repay, and even though it is not yet the date of repaying the debt, they still come to the door to force the debt every day, and they are also rumored that the two of them have no ability to repay, so they still have to spend some effort. It is better to convert the house, shop and family valuable things to repay the debt, and they can still pay less, and they still threaten the two. Once they can't repay the debt on the date, they go to court to sue them and ask them to go to the jail. Because when the loan is made, the two parties signed a formal loan agreement, of course, only from the loan agreement, it is a normal private lending, and there is no flaw. Therefore, if they sue the court, there is basically no chance of victory.

In fact, people who lend money loans will not really make trouble in the court, because although the procedures are basically impeccable, they can find out what is going on in the court with a little investigation, and there will be no good results at that time. But in front of the borrower, they naturally have to take such a fearless attitude, showing that they are both in public and private affairs; while the borrower is guilty and naturally dare not really make trouble in the court.

After a few days of trouble, the two businessmen who borrowed loan sharks were disturbed by the family, and their families were also complaining about their original resolutions every day. They also looked for Sheng Xuanhuai, Zhang Jian, Zhao Weizhong and others and asked them to help deal with each other, but they were all rejected. At this time, Sheng Xuanhuai, Zhang Jian, Zhao Weizhong and others dared to have something to do with them. Moreover, the few people repeatedly told the merchants in Shanghai that they must not go to this muddy water, otherwise they would not find a place if they regretted it. As a result, some people just didn't listen. Now they were bleeding and asked for help deal with each other. Naturally, it was impossible.

But at this time, the Shanghai Municipal Government clearly replied to the merchant's petition and could only purchase supplies at normal market prices. This resolution also became the last straw that suppressed camels. Because at this price, the two merchants sold all the supplies they bought, but they couldn't even pay off the interest of the first batch of usury loans and could only sell houses and stores. However, this was only the interest of the first batch of usury loans. Without a house or shop, how can they make money to pay the debts behind and how can they support the family? Could it be that the whole family would beg for food in the future? Therefore, the two of them thought about it and felt that internal and external troubles were at a loss everywhere. As a result, they couldn't think about it for a moment and hanged themselves.

After some people took the lead in selling supplies at the price offered by the Shanghai Municipal Government, some people followed immediately. Now some people took the lead in committing suicide, and some people followed immediately, because the situation of these two suicide merchants is representative. There are really many businessmen who are in similar situations with similar situations, all of whom have lost all their money, have high debts, and are unable to repay them. I heard that some people committed suicide because they could not pay off their debts, and they also had the idea of ​​suicide.
