Future Stamps and Coins Diary

Chapter 240 I Pity You

The five people sat down under the gazes of dozens of people.

The other party was obviously prepared.

"Everyone here is a listing person in the trading center and a big merchant in the market. My request has been made very clear. Completely solve the listing problem, or raise the price. I will use the money from the sale to make up for everyone's losses during this period of time."

Li Guangquan was frank and did not hide his thoughts at all.

"I think I understand. You just want to pass the cost onto us?" Li Jicheng sneered, not showing any concern at all because of Li Guangquan's relative status.

As soon as the meeting started, the atmosphere was already tense.

"You can totally think so." Li Guangquan didn't want to give his nephew any face.

However, he did not look at Li Jicheng for long. Instead, he glanced at the other merchants and said directly: "Everyone, let's get started. Is there anything you want to say to our President Lu?"

As soon as the words fell, a merchant couldn't wait to speak.

"We have been in custody for so long, but we still don't see any hope of listing. Because of the long delay, the price has dropped by nearly half, causing me to lose tens of millions directly. Now I want to ask, if Mr. Lu takes over, what new measures can he take?"

There was a hint of complaint in his words, but Li Guangquan pretended not to hear and lowered his head to flip through the notebook on the table.

"There is no need to worry about this. We will arrange the listing of the custodial products as soon as possible. However, everyone has seen the current economic situation. If dozens of products are listed all at once, it will not have a very good effect." Lu Feng paused, took a deep breath, and said: "Let me tell you my own thoughts."

"Including the varieties we have operated before, there are about 36 varieties to be listed. I plan to list them in six batches, which means that on average, six varieties will be listed in each batch. At the same time, the price of the varieties listed for trading will be adjusted according to the current market price, calculated seven days before the listing date. The seven-day market average price is the opening price on the first day of listing."

This was a decision that Lu Feng had already made before coming here.

Given the current depressed market sentiment, even with so many members following him, Lu Feng still adopted the most conservative approach.

First, they must see the possibility of listing, that is, the possibility of cashing out. Secondly, the price must be lowered to give participants enough space. These merchants cannot cash out and leave a mess as soon as they go public. Finally, the time of listing must be used to gain the trust of investors.

After all, this is a special period, and many collectors are pessimistic about the future trend of stamps, coins and cards.

Lu Feng knew that in about a few months, the market would begin to recover due to policy adjustments.

As long as we can stabilize the first few batches of listed varieties and allow collectors to benefit from them, more people will flock in when the market recovers.

According to their estimates, with a normal conversion rate, both the funds and the user base are incomparable to the previous Zhongbo era, and it is estimated that there will be a tenfold increase.

This is not a problem at all for dozens of stocks whose market value has shrunk severely.

Another point that Lu Feng thinks is most important is that, with the current prices of collections, most investors will be able to enjoy a big market trend in the future.

Allowing the platform's customers to make money is the biggest driving force for the development of this model.

Li Guangquan still kept his head down, raised his eyebrows subconsciously, and said nothing.

Another merchant nearby has already spoken.

"We can accept listing in batches, but the listing fees we paid before were based on the prices at the time. How can this be explained?"

Lu Feng looked at him and asked, "What's your name?"

"No need to ask me what it's called. I have over 10 million worth of goods on it, and the listing fee alone is close to 500,000. Now I'm listing it at a price lower than the general price at the time. Just tell me how to deal with the listing fee."

Huang Doudou sneered and retorted: "We are not the ones who collected your listing fee. I support you in asking President Li to return the money."

Everyone's expressions changed slightly.

It is indeed as Huang Doudou said, the fees collected previously were used by Zhongnan as operating funds, and most of them were lost.

This largest expense was not included in what Zhongbo took over again.

"All the money is used in operations." Li Guangquan responded indifferently.

Obviously, they had already discussed it secretly and wanted to maximize their interests through this meeting.

In other words, it is deliberately making things difficult for the new team.

Huang Doudou wanted to continue speaking but was stopped by Lu Feng.

"Let's not talk about any historical issues. I'll give everyone here two choices."

Lu Feng held up a finger and said, "First, I can pay for the difference in listing fees due to the price difference, but you must also list the items for trading at a new price locked today."

"Second, the listing fee will not be refunded, but the listing price will be adjusted according to what I just said based on market price fluctuations."

Everyone suddenly fell silent.

After a while, someone suddenly spoke.

"What if I choose to pick up the goods and leave?"

"Are you just making trouble?" Li Jicheng said bluntly, "The trading center can pick up the goods at any time. You picked up the goods at this time. Aren't you trying to undermine the confidence of our customers? Are you here to solve the problem or to create it?"

The man did not expect that Li Jicheng would be so ruthless. His face darkened and he retorted, "You said that it is our right to pick up the goods. Is there any problem with me picking up the goods now?"

"You are welcome to pick up the goods and leave!" Lu Feng took over the words without hesitation.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and they didn't expect Lu Feng to be so tough.

Isn't he afraid of causing a bad reaction? You know, customers are very sensitive nowadays, and any disturbance may affect their enthusiasm for trading.

"Which variety are you the person who listed?" Lu Feng asked.

"The 04 Panda gold and silver coins." the man replied.

Lu Feng nodded and said to Huang Doudou, "Mr. Huang, please make a note of this. When we get the goods ready, let him pick them up and refund all the listing fees."

The man's face changed drastically, and he shouted loudly: "I don't have to withdraw it, I just want to put it on the market as soon as possible."

"No, you just said that you just want to pick up the goods and leave." Lu Feng did not give him any chance to consider.

Faced with these cunning market merchants, Lu Feng knew very well how to deal with them.

If you give them some face, they will open a dyeing room.

Lu Feng stared at them, his voice suddenly turned cold: "Don't try to bargain with us. To put it bluntly, you are not qualified!"

Everyone was instantly furious.

They were all well-known figures, and even Li Guangquan tried to persuade them in a friendly way. When had he ever been treated like this? "Who do you think you are? Do you think it's still the same platform as before? Do you think we care about this broken thing now? Just pick up the goods and return the money to me."

"That's right, what are you so proud of? Without our support, you will go bankrupt sooner or later!"

"Pick up the goods, let's pick up the goods together!" someone shouted.

Lu Feng let them shout there, his eyes were extremely calm.

After they had almost vented their emotions, they spoke up: "Orange, remember those people who shouted the loudest just now?"

Li Jicheng nodded with a smile on his face. "Don't worry, no one can escape."

"Okay. Just make a note of it. After taking over, issue an announcement immediately to remove all of their related products from the custody and listing lists forever and put them on the blacklist."

Many people were stunned, and several people stood up and slammed the table.

Li Guangquan looked at Lu Feng with a cold gaze and reminded him, "Don't forget, the platform has not yet been handed over to you. I asked you to come here to solve the problem."

"This is how we solve the problem." Lu Feng looked at Li Guangquan. "President Li doesn't have to sell it, and we don't have to sell the trading center. At worst, we can just build a new one. Based on our previous experience, the new platform can be online in less than two months, and the cost is much lower than taking it from you, the president."

Li Guangquan narrowed his eyes slightly.

Lu Feng's voice continued, but it became more and more impolite.

"Don't think I'm here to beg you. On the contrary, I'm giving you a chance to make money again because you're so pitiful. If you don't appreciate it, then I, Lu Feng, won't be polite either."

Everyone's faces were extremely ugly.

At this point, there was no room for easing the situation, and more than a dozen people had already thrown their things and left.

Lu Feng did not try to keep them, but waited until the group of people left. Then he looked at the dozen or so merchants who were left with confused faces and changed his expression.

"The rest should really be used to solve the problem, right?"

Li Guangquan's face was gloomy. Those who had just left in anger were indeed the group with whom he had the best relationship.

The remaining people looked at each other, totally unsure of how to proceed.

Most of these people are not very powerful, and they have put together so many collections for escrow transactions, and in the final analysis they are just making a profit from the price difference. This time they really suffered heavy losses because of Li Guangquan, and they are here sincerely to solve the problem and want to overcome this difficulty.

Lu Feng changed his domineering attitude and became gentle.

"President Li, do you want to continue listening here? Or should we sign the agreement and you go back to rest early?"

Li Guangquan nodded: "Mr. Lu is interesting."

Next to him, a woman who seemed to be able to perform mystical magic took out relevant documents from her briefcase and walked in front of Lu Feng.

"Look, is there anything you need to add?"

Lu Feng took a glance, quickly signed his name on the back, and threw it to Huang Doudou.

The latter also stamped the official seal of Zhongbo without hesitation.

He kept one of the copies and pushed the other two back to Li Guangquan. Lv Feng smiled and said, "President Li, it's a pleasure to work with you!"

Li Guangquan did not respond to this statement, but signaled his secretary to pack up his things and stand up.

"Lü Feng, don't think you can challenge the rules we have set for decades. I hope you will take care of yourself."

"Goodbye, President. I won't see you off!" Lu Feng replied indifferently.

After Li Guangquan left, only a dozen or so merchants were left in the conference room, who were silent as a mouse and had not said a word from the beginning.

Lu Feng patted the documents in his hand and smiled at everyone, "Okay, it's done. Now everyone can really speak freely!"

Everyone frowned, feeling that the young man in front of them was very different from what they had imagined.

One of them hesitated for a moment and said, "Boss Lu, we are really here to solve the problem."

"I know! We are here to help you solve your problems! So please give us some time. My promise just now has not changed at all. There are six varieties in each issue. If you need money urgently, you can arrange it in advance. If there are bosses who are not so anxious, I hope you can listen to my advice. The market will get better and the market will reappear. The light is not far away."

Feeling the sincerity on Lu Feng's face, everyone was suddenly stunned.

This is the legendary "Shrimp God". He can accurately predict even the Olympic banknotes and the financial crisis, which are completely unfounded predictions.

It is because of this that he has the transcendent status he has today.

Now, such an undoubted big shot is standing in front of you and making such a sincere judgment. How much weight does it carry?

Someone couldn't help but ask: "Boss Lu, can I understand this sentence as your prediction?"

Lu Feng nodded vigorously. "If you believe it."

"Of course I believe you." The merchant sighed, "But we are indeed facing great difficulties now. To be honest, a large part of my money came from loans. Now there is a financial crisis, and many channels want to recover the money. I can only try my best to cash out and repay the debt, otherwise it will be difficult to continue."

His words touched the hearts of many people.

Many merchants nodded secretly, indicating that they were facing the same situation.

"Mr. Lu, we all know that you have done a lot for the market in the past few months. I also sold some goods through you, which is why I have been able to hold on until now. I believe what you said, the market will come soon. But we have to face the seriousness of the current problem."

Lu Feng frowned and fell silent.

He had thought about using part of the money he earned to acquire some lending institutions in several markets.

But now he hesitated, he felt there was a better way.

"How about this!" Lu Feng looked at them and said seriously: "In the name of Zhongbo, we will launch a mortgage loan service for the products that have been entrusted. If you really need funds, you can apply to Zhongbo."

After a pause, Lu Feng continued, "I can't guarantee anything else, but in terms of interest, we will do our best to reduce it."

Everyone was overjoyed.

Lu Feng continued, "However, doing this kind of business requires some qualifications that we don't have right now, so you still need to wait for a while so that we can make some preparations."

The simplest way, of course, is to acquire a company with relevant qualifications.

"With Mr. Lu's words, I feel relieved. If I can get through this difficult time, I will always remember Mr. Lu's kindness, and I will also be a member of the Xiami Group in the future!"
