Why did Hu Xueyan have such a painful understanding?

I wrote an article before, and I posted it for you to see.

/kloc-in the summer of 0/883, Hu Xueyan smelled a little anxiety in the air.

At this time, there are still millions of tons of raw silk in his warehouse. This was originally a drama carefully planned by him. Zeng Geometry has seen the hope of success. At the moment, raw silk with white luster is like a boulder pressing on his heart.

Two years ago, Hu Xueyan reached the peak of his life. Because of his contribution to Zuo's recovery of Xinjiang, Hu Xueyan was awarded the title (the third prize). He can wear a yellow jacket and a magenta hat. Is he in charge? Four provincial public libraries? Become the most dazzling businessman.

Hu Xueyan is ready to ride the wind and waves. He wrote to Zuo, expressing his willingness to use12 million yuan to build telegrams along the Yangtze River alone. If successful, Hu Xueyan will become the king of telegraph, change its business model of buying low and selling high, and propose new business channels to gain benefits.

However, it is not Zuo who is responsible for the westernization of telegrams, but Li Hongzhang. As we all know, Zuo Li's political views are different.

Zuo Tang Zong didn't dare to make a decision easily, nor did he dare to fight for something beyond his jurisdiction.

As a result, Li Hongzhang came from behind and sent the opportunity to set up a telegram to his subordinates.

For Hu Xueyan, this is just a lost investment opportunity. He didn't realize that this failure was a prelude to his collapse.

After the telegraph investment made a profit, he turned his attention to raw silk

China is a big producer of raw silk, but because it doesn't know the processing trade market, the price of raw silk is controlled by British businessmen.

As a result, the more silk reeling factories Britain and the United States set up in China, the more silk they bought from China, and the price of raw silk dropped from 565,438+07 per bale of 65,438+0869 to 200 taels of 65,438+0883, a drop of more than half, which made silk farmers in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces work harder but earn more.

Hu Xueyan realized that this was unreasonable, and analyzed that it was because China businessmen were fighting in their own way and could not form price alliance, so the pricing power was controlled by foreigners.

Hu Xueyan decided to take a chance and use his accumulated millions of financial resources to win the price of raw silk.

The opportunity presented itself. 1880 Europe suffered from drought, and the harvest of raw silk decreased. China's share of raw silk suddenly became the main force. Hu Xueyan seized the opportunity, purchased everywhere in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and distributed deposits widely. When he saw silk, he accepted it.

Two years later, he hoarded nearly 20,000 packets of raw silk, accounting for 40% of all markets.

Hu Xueyan also used the influence of shopping malls to form a price alliance with silk industry counterparts to resist low-priced sales.

Hu Xueyan won the first battle, foreigners missed the opportunity to purchase, there was a gap in production, and the price went up. 1882 In September, the price of raw silk in Shanghai reached 17 shilling 4p, while the price in London Stock Exchange was only 16 shilling 3p.

During this period, international buyers, including Japanese businessmen, came to Hu Xueyan and expressed their willingness to buy raw silk from Hu Xueyan at a high price. If they sell at the current price, Hu Xueyan will make a net profit of12 million yuan.

Hu Xueyan refused, because he wanted not only the profit, but also the pricing power of raw silk.

However, the situation is quietly changing. Just this year, there was a bumper harvest of raw silk in Europe, and British and American manufacturers who had expected to start production in China could turn to Europe for procurement.

With the price of raw silk falling, it has become unrealistic to earn high profits and win the pricing power of raw silk. However, Hu Xueyan can still resell raw silk without much influence.

Besides, Hu Xueyan has a wide range of industries. Although raw silk is invested heavily, it will never be dragged down.

Eight cans and seven lids, covering them without breaking through, that's business. ? Hu Xueyan has its own unique management secrets.

When doing business in his early years, Hu Xueyan got a message that Xiao Dao was going to launch an uprising in Shanghai. Therefore, the traffic in Shanghai will be cut off, the Silk Road trade will be suspended, and the price of raw silk will definitely rise. This is an excellent business opportunity for Hu Xueyan.

If you want to make a fortune from this, you must first control the market and monopolize the price. However, at that time, Hu Xueyan's capital was not sufficient, and only raw silk with a value of100000 was stored in Shanghai Yuji Silk Stack. In addition, the 654.38 million taels of silver he borrowed from the "Big Three" banks in Shanghai will also expire. According to the regulations, it cannot be postponed.

Hu Xueyan had a brainwave. First of all, he showed the "Big Three" banks the list of raw silk, indicating that the loan can be repaid as scheduled, but after this batch of raw silk is sold, please transfer the loan to another period.

With the warehouse receipt as evidence and the goods in the silk warehouse, the "Big Three" banks safely turned to the first phase, and Hu Xueyan had a hundred thousand inches.

Subsequently, Hu Xueyan borrowed102,000 yuan from foreign firms with raw silk as collateral.

Therefore, Hu Xueyan added100,000 taels of silver. In this way, he made a business of several hundred thousand taels of silver.

But now, there are eight cans and seven lids, and someone must stare at the cans without lids.
