A great director who grew up happily

Chapter 493: The Mine Boss Attacks the Warehouse at Night

Chen Ming's company has two warehouses. The warehouse where he went back to get the mahjong is in the city and is much smaller than the logistics warehouse in Daxing District.

However, the business in the urban area mainly focuses on the consumer end, so there is no need to stock too much goods. If there is a shortage of goods, they can just transfer them from the outside warehouse.

Dozens of minutes after Chen Ming left, Su Ying looked up at the time in the living room and became worried.

Today is New Year's Eve and the traffic volume is not very heavy. At the speed Chen Ming drives, he should have returned long ago.

"Jinnian, call your father and ask where he is."

"Oh, wait a minute."

Chen Jinnian closed the notebook on his lap, took out his cell phone and started talking.

He felt that his mother was making a big deal out of nothing. Chen Ming was such a grown-up, how could he possibly have an accident in the city?

When he chatted casually with his father and was about to urge Chen Ming to come back quickly, his face suddenly changed and became serious. After agreeing for a few words, he immediately hung up the phone and got up from the sofa.

Wang Yidi and Su Ying both noticed Chen Jinnian's abnormal behavior and hurriedly asked the reason.

"Dad was blocked by the mine owner. I have to go over and take a look." Chen Jinnian explained the situation while hurriedly changing his clothes.

"Mine owner?" Wang Yidi was stunned. "What's the relationship between the mine owner and my uncle? Besides, shouldn't the mine owner have gone bankrupt?"

Su Ying also had the same doubts. In the past, there were many mine owners in Beijing, and they were crazy about buying houses. But now the glory days are long gone, and there are no mine owners left.

"The mine I'm talking about is the one for mining... Oh, no, it's not the mine you're thinking of, it's the one for virtual currency." After Chen Jinnian finished speaking, he grabbed the car keys.

"You guys wait at home first, Dad and I will be back soon."

When Chen Jinnian left, Su Ying hurriedly warned him, "Don't do anything. If you can't handle it, remember to call the police first."

"I see."

Today's "mine bosses" are different from the original mine bosses. Playing with virtual currency is neither illegal nor allowed in China, especially when it comes to exchanging foreign currency into RMB after the transaction, which is even more of a gray area.

Strictly speaking, the proceeds from transactions made by circumventing the firewall can be considered illegal income, and local law enforcement agencies can confiscate all illegal proceeds.

However, this regulation has been in place for many years and is a legacy of the last century. Unless the local government is short of money and is extremely anxious, it will not take it too far and insist on confiscating this part of the income.

Of course, this does not apply to those who offer it to you voluntarily.

Therefore, the "mine bosses" did not dare to take the initiative to cause trouble. The main reason they surrounded Chen Ming was because Chen Ming had been leaving his market share empty, resulting in neither the mine bosses nor the scalpers being able to get graphics cards.

When Chen Jinnian rushed to the warehouse, Chen Ming had already locked the door of the warehouse. The two warehouse managers on duty stood in front of the door like door gods, one on the left and one on the right, confronting the mine owner.

"Boss Chen, that's enough. We all came with cash. We paid 80% more than the market price, so we're not really putting you at a disadvantage. Whoever you sell to is buying."

"Fuck you! You think I don't know what you're doing? You're using the card like crazy for a year, then deliberately damaging it to get me to give you a new one under warranty. Then you sell it to scalpers, making a killing without paying a cent."

Chen Ming looked at the group of people with a gloomy expression.

As a brand agent, he has a fixed number of annual shipments and warranty rates. If he allows these miners to mess around, the brand will most likely stop supplying him.

Chen Ming revealed the mine owner's idea, and the mine owner was not bothered. They really wanted to take advantage of the price drop before the Spring Festival to stock up some goods, so that they would not lose money whether they used them for their own use or as scalpers.

"Boss Chen, there's no need to be so harsh. If we hadn't mined and taken over the market, would you have made so much last year? Now that you're full, please let us have some of your share."

"That's right. If 80% is too low, we can raise it to 100%. As long as we can get the graphics card, there's nothing wrong with negotiation."

Despite the mine owner's persuasion, Chen Ming still refused to give in. He was a formal agent, not a small agent who would run away after doing a business deal.

"No room for negotiation. I sell consumer cards, and I only sell them at the official price. If you want to equip your console, I can sell you one at the official price. But if you want graphics cards, I can only supply you with P106 and P104."

P106 and P104 are graphics cards specially designed for mining bosses. They do not have video output interfaces, and the warranty period is shortened from three years to three months. If you are mining, they are definitely enough, but if you are hoarding cards to make a profit, then it is a waste of time.

"Boss Chen, it's boring if you calculate too much."

"Yeah, why would we turn away a business that's already in our hands? We do cash transactions and don't even need an invoice. We guarantee the brand won't be able to find out it's you who shipped the goods."

After one of the mine owners finished speaking, he opened his suitcase and showed the cash inside.

I don’t know whether Chen Ming saw it clearly or not, but Chen Jinnian, who was walking over, saw it clearly.

The industry during its bonus period is indeed violent. Some people dare to show up at night with a box of money. If the public security is worse, the grass on the graves of these mine owners will be two feet high next year.

"Everyone, don't bother my dad. If you want to buy a card, go find Dylan. Our family won't get involved."

Chen Jinnian walked forward and said.

DiLan’s boss knows his father, but the other party is doing much bigger business than Chen Ming. Instead of being an agent for other brands, he directly established a graphics card company. Relying on OEM production with Hanxun, he became AMD’s largest cooperative brand in China.

At the same time, it is also the brand that sells the most cards during this craze.

Other brands are boycotting the mining bosses, ensuring that users can still buy cards with their money. Only Dylan is embracing the mining bosses with open arms and completely abandoning the players.

Now, none of Dilan’s agents at all levels across the country have any Dilan cards. All the new cards produced by Hanxun have been put into the mine without a single one left.

As a result, the sales network that Dylan spent more than ten years to build has fallen apart.

When the craze is over one day, Dylan will be completely gone.

It is precisely because of this living example that other brands are so nervous. They are all afraid that downstream agents will cooperate with mine owners, causing the brand's market share in the region to disappear.

"We can't steal their cards." said the mine owner.

Mine owners across the country know that Dilan sells cards, and now they are all rushing to Fujian to intercept the flow. The cards coming from Taiwan Province are snatched up as soon as they land, and there is no time to transport them to Beijing.

That appearance is more popular than the birthday gift.

"That's none of our business. Take your money and leave my warehouse." Chen Jinnian shouted loudly.
