Chapter 599 (1/2)
”What's going on?”
At the end of a long table, Roger Yoder, the president of Yoder chamber of Commerce, whose face was as heavy as water, supported his elbows on the table, crossed his fingers, and looked at the trembling members of the chamber of Commerce in front of him through the shadow between his fingers.
This was an emergency meeting convened temporarily. There were not even one-third of the members of the chamber of Commerce and cadres of various divisions present, but it was forcibly held successfully under the will of old Roger himself.
The reason is very simple, and there is only one reason... Eboden did it.
After a whole month, that Loren Turin controlled the wizard Association, governor Gaspar became more and more divorced from the yode chamber of Commerce, and the reputation of the Turin family was restored... Eboden finally started.
According to the speculation of old Roger and the whole yode chamber of Commerce, although there is some turbulence in the red blood Castle due to the appearance of Miss Ariel corona, the whole Bain is still firmly controlled by the chamber of Commerce and has a strong influence everywhere. Large and small business routes can ensure that the erosion of the other party can be eliminated in the bud at any time.
This idea is very correct, but he misjudged one point, that is, the other party's offensive did not start from the red blood castle, but in the north; At the same time, the speed of the other party's hands is much faster than he imagined!
Things developed faster than he thought - within ten days, under the pressure of Yoder chamber of Commerce, several eboden small chambers of Commerce in the north of Byrne, which were on the verge of bankruptcy, suddenly united with local suppliers and trade unions.
At the same time, they reached a monopoly agreement with the local Knight lords, encouraged them to buy the local vineyards and farms, broke with the yode chamber of Commerce, and asked them to sell the next harvest to them in advance.
At present, it is still the time of midsummer, and it is far from the harvest time of grapes, and the control of wine cellars everywhere is in the hands of Knight Lords. For a time, several yode chambers of Commerce, which had invested a lot of expenses, suffered serious losses for a time.
But this is not the most troublesome... As Bain's largest Chamber of Commerce, the losses or even bankruptcy of several branches are not enough to hurt the muscles and bones, and even compete with competitors at a discount when necessary; However, there is absolutely no way to avoid one thing, that is, the inventory ceiling of each division.
Limited to the current road and traffic conditions, large quantities of transshipment materials are unrealistic and at a loss. Therefore, local chambers of Commerce have their own inventories of goods and funds to deal with changes in prices and goods circulation.
This time, the opponent seems to be very clear about the quantity of goods stored in the book of each division. After some deliberate acquisition and price reduction, several chambers of commerce that still have spare power were emptied!
Even this is not the most terrible thing... Since it is doing business, the capital flow on the book is also very important - as we all know, a businessman with a fortune of tens of millions, I'm afraid he can take out only about 100000 cash immediately, and the rest is fixed assets, goods... And bonds.
It is also limited to transportation and trade networks. Most business transactions do not completely rely on real gold and silver. They can only be maintained by mutual credit, IOUS and mortgaged bonds... In short, a businessman can continue his business as long as he has capital flow on his account, has good reputation and can get goods on credit from others.
This trading system, which relies on bonds and bookkeeping, is also maintained by the yode chamber of Commerce, and their ”gold bonds” are the pillar.
For today's Yoder chamber of Commerce, profitability has long been secondary. The real key is to control Bain's trade under their control.
But on the other hand, this trading system is also highly dependent on credibility and integrity, especially the gold bonds of yode chamber of Commerce. Once they are run, it is unimaginable... The gold bonds of 100000 gold coins, no matter how well these branches operate, can't put forward so much money immediately!
Under the deliberate promotion of the joint merchants of eboden, the local Knight Lord strongly demanded that the bonds in his hand be converted into cash. Then the local branch manager actually made his own proposal to borrow from local peers. Eboden seized the handle and released the news, which finally triggered a roaring run.
First, the supply was cut off, then the inventory was emptied, and finally the bank run... Under repeated blows, several yode chamber of Commerce branches in the north of Bain went bankrupt!
The other side's means are very sharp, the direction is clear, and the blow is fatal - most importantly, it seems that it still knows the accounts of various branches of yode chamber of Commerce, so that the chamber of Commerce in the North has no spare power to fight back.
From the very beginning, she was cheated... The little girl named Ariel corona just threw it out to scare herself, in order to cover up their real goal and time point.
He was foolishly fooled, and wasted a month waiting, missed the great opportunity to fight back!
