Chapter Seventy-Three: The Great Scale Divides the Gold

A few days earlier, Qinghe had reached an agreement with Yankuang for the supply of 5,000 tonnes of coal per month.

With the help of Li Weidong, Yankuang found the cause of the failure of the hydraulic equipment, although it also cost a lot of money to customize the piston rod protection sleeve and phosphorylation of the fuel tank, but at least it was not foreign exchange.

Compared with three million US dollars in foreign exchange, spending millions of yuan to solve hydraulic equipment failures is simply too good value.

Li Weidong has helped Yankuang so much, it is not easy to ask for 5,000 tons of coal a month!

In the eight-five-year period, the domestic coal price was still a dual-track system, and the prices of "key coal" purchased by the state and "market coal" sold by coal mines were different.

At that time, the average production cost of coal in China was about 29 yuan per ton, which included workers' wages and equipment loss. The average price of the state purchase is 26.05 yuan per ton, which means that the price of the state purchase is lower than the cost of coal production.

Coal mines selling "key coal" cost more than three yuan per ton, but it was not possible to sell them, after all, all coal mines were state-owned at that time.

"Key coal" was mainly supplied to power plants, because the power industry was generally losing money at that time, so the state subsidized power plants through low-cost coal.

Coal mines lose money when they sell "key coal", so they naturally have to make up for it from "market coal", so the price of "market coal" can generally reach 34 yuan, which is equivalent to selling a ton of coal to earn more than four yuan.

In this way, Yankuang earns more than 20 million yuan a year, which is not much in terms of the scale of Yankuang.

But at that time, the evaluation of enterprises was not based on how much profit you could bring, but on how much contribution you could make to the country.

For example, many military enterprises are still key national enterprises that lose money every year, while many private enterprises and large taxpayers are still regarded as the third in the market.

In the era of state-owned coal mine monopoly, coal was in short supply, and being able to get coal from the coal mine was a kind of skill in itself, and it was even more profitable to dump coal.

For example, the Qinghe Transportation Company transports coal from Yankuang to the Dongdao Port Authority, and can earn a price difference of six yuan per ton, and 5,000 tons of coal per month, which is the difference of 30,000 yuan.

......

Three months passed in the blink of an eye.

At the beginning of the month, the transportation company will hold a meeting of middle-level and above leading cadres to routinely summarize the work of the previous quarter, and the heads of various departments will summarize the work of the department in the previous quarter.

Writing a summary is a technical job, and reporting good news or not is the most basic operation. If the data can grow, it is naturally the best, if the data does not advance but retreats, we must emphasize more objective factors, and tell the leaders that it is not that we do not work hard, but that the general environment is dragging behind.

There is not much new in this kind of work report, and those who can become the leaders of the company are not fools, how can they be so easily deceived. Which department is doing a good job and which department is not doing well, everyone knows in their hearts.

In the whole transportation company, the department with the largest number of employees is the passenger transport department, in addition to the driver and conductor, there are hundreds of attendants in the bus station.

And the most profitable, of course, is the freight department, after all, in those days, freight was a profiteering industry.

When it was the turn of Zhao Guodong, the director of the freight department, to report and summarize, everyone pricked up their ears.

The freight department's transportation profit in the last quarter was not impressive, although it increased slightly year-on-year, but decreased sequentially.

This is mainly due to the fact that last quarter coincided with the flood season, and the vehicles of the freight department were deployed to participate in flood fighting and rescue tasks, which delayed the normal transportation business and led to a decrease in freight profits.

This is also a helpless thing, after all, flood fighting and rescue is a political task, and the transportation company must participate, so when the flood season comes every year, the profits of the freight department will always be reduced to a certain extent, as for how much it is reduced, it depends on whether the rain is heavy or small.

Zhao Guodong reported the data one by one, and finally talked about the matter of consignment sales:

"Last quarter, our department explored a new mode of transportation for consignment sales, and obtained an additional profit of 90,000 yuan. ”

"Ninety thousand?" Hearing this number, everyone in the conference room was shocked.

90,000 yuan is not a lot of money for the entire transportation company, and many tertiary industries under the transportation company do not earn much. The freight department can earn more than 2 million a month by transporting.

However, most of the money earned by the freight department has to be handed over to the state, and the money that enterprises can use themselves is not so much.

And the words "extra profit" precisely mean that this money can be used by the enterprise itself, and is not within the scope of the tasks set by the state.

A few well-intentioned people have already taken out pen and paper and started to calculate.

"The extra profit of 90,000 yuan, according to the performance bonus distribution plan, eighty percent will be handed over to the company, and the freight department can still have 18,000 yuan left as a performance bonus, and the drivers, dispatchers and logistics of the entire freight department will be 300 people, and each person can get an average of 60 yuan! This is only one quarter, four quarters a year, isn't there 240 yuan!"

After calculating this account, many people showed strange expressions.

In a small city like Qinghe, the income is lower than that of a big city, and 240 yuan is equivalent to half a year's salary of an ordinary worker. What's more, the basic bonus of the Freight Department is already higher than that of other departments.

"If you calculate it in this way, the salary of the freight department should be a hundred, right?"

"Almost, the driver of the freight department, the salary plus bonus could have been more than 80 yuan, and now he gets 20 yuan more a month, it must be more than 100!"

The salary of more than 100 in 85 years is definitely a very proud achievement.

Zhao Guodong was very proud of everyone's surprised performance, he coughed dryly, cleared his throat, and then reported: "Our freight department has only carried out preliminary exploration of the way of consignment sales, and has only carried out one project at present, that is, to buy coal from Yankuang and then transport it to the East Island Port Authority. ”

"Director Zhao, how many tons of coal can the freight department transport from Yankuang every month?" asked Zhu Shicong.

"At present, it is 5,000 tons, and in the future, we plan to increase our capacity and strive to transport 10,000 tons of coal every month!" Zhao Guodong replied confidently.

Everyone quickly calculated that 5,000 tons a month can earn 30,000 yuan, and if you transport 10,000 tons, it is 60,000 yuan, of which 12,000 are performance bonuses of the freight department, and each person earns an extra 40 yuan on average.

And this is just transporting coal, in addition to coal, there are many things that can be "sold on behalf of transportation", such as steel bars, such as diesel, such as chemical products, this type of industrial products must not lack buyers, as long as things are transported to the place, resold and sold, the profit is less.

Zhao Guodong's report made Yu Zhengcheng feel a little difficult to ride a tiger.

Prior to this, Yu Zhengcheng was opposed to consignment sales.

Nowadays, consignment sales can bring huge profits, and Yu Zhengcheng has no reason to continue to oppose it.

The freight department has begun to weigh the gold, once the money is given, it is impossible to deduct it back, the entire freight department of 300 people, has tasted the sweetness of shipping consignment, how can they give up this piece of fat, the next scale of consignment sales can only be bigger and bigger, it is impossible to reduce.

......

The next day, the news spread, and almost the entire transportation company was talking about shipping consignment.

"Have you heard, the freight department has made a consignment sale, but it can make money. In the last month alone, the people at the freight office have given out an extra twenty dollars in bonuses!"

"I also heard that it is said that coal is bought from Yankuang and then transported to the East Island Port Authority to be sold, which not only earns freight but also makes the difference in the price of coal. ”

"It's no wonder that in the past two months, the car of the freight department has always run to Yankuang, I thought I had met a big cargo owner, but I didn't expect it to be made by our freight department. ”

"I heard that in the future, the freight department will not only transport coal, but also oil and steel!"

"Wouldn't that make more money? How did you come up with such a great idea? This guy is such a genius. ”

"Who else can there be, Li Weidong!"
