Chapter 142: The Corn Business

Leaving the Fengyuan Canning Factory, Chen Donghui took a minibus to the port again, in fact, there was nothing to do, he just wanted to go and have a casual look.

In the case of the cannery, if Guo Youcai can handle his requirements, then he just wants to make a handful and leave, and he will not continue to cooperate with them too much in the future, after all, dealing with state-owned enterprises is not the right business, which is really troublesome.

This time, Chen Donghui came to Qinggang's oldest Qilipu wharf, also known as the "old wharf" in Qinggang, this Qilipu wharf was already very busy in the Qing Dynasty, in the Republic of China, due to the importance of water transportation, Qilipu wharf became the most important place in Qinggang, reaching the top of prosperity

Later, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, due to the vigorous development of Jinsha Port in Qinggang, the status of Qilipu in Qinggang was replaced by Jinsha Port, but it is still an important hub of Qinggang.

Different from Jinsha Port, although Qilipu has also achieved partial mechanization, it still retains many things from the ancient wharf, surrounded by warehouses, many of which have been preserved from the Republic of China period, and the waves are surging in the distance, and the sea and sky are on the line.

Chen Donghui walked around here and found a lot of tall white tin metal cans, similar to the tin cans that farmers had seen once for grain, but they were many times larger than that.

Out of curiosity, Chen Donghui asked a nearby elder brother what it was for, and the eldest brother told him that it was all corn, and most of it was shipped from Hong Kong.

Chen Donghui was very curious, Hong Kong has every inch of land, and it does not produce agriculture at all, how can there be so much corn?

But for this reason, this eldest brother doesn't know, but he recommended a person to Chen Donghui, white-necked Ah Xing, and there are many iron cans here that are his.

Under the guidance of this eldest brother, Chen Donghui quickly found Ah Xing, who was eating watermelon under a melon shed.

Seeing the white-necked Ah Xing, Chen Donghui immediately understood why he had such a funny nickname, because this Ah Xing is black and thin, but his neck is very white, I don't know if there is any skin disease, or because he protects his neck all year round, but Chen Donghui feels that the former reason is more likely.

Ah Xing looked very easy-going and talkative, and dressed very casually, Chen Donghui greeted him, and after putting on a cigarette, the two sat in the melon shed and talked enthusiastically.

"Brother Xing, I heard that the tin cans here are all yours?" asked Chen Donghui.

"Hey, it's not mine, it's all from our company. ”

"Your company?"

"Ang, yes, Jinyuan Feed Factory. ”

"Feed mill?"

Ah Xingle said hehehe: "Yes, Jinyuan Feed Factory, it's not far from there, haven't you heard of it? Jinyuan is a large enterprise in our Qinggang." ”

"Oh, it's not good business, Brother Xing, I've only been in Qinggang for a short time, and I don't know very well. Chen Donghui said apologetically, "Brother Xing, I heard that these tin cans are full of corn, or were they shipped from Hong Kong?"

Ah Xing smiled heartily: "Haha, yes, you know it very clearly! Come, eat melons, you're welcome!"

Chen Donghui picked up a piece of watermelon, took a bite, and asked curiously: "Brother Xing, how do you transport corn from Hong Kong, and there is no corn there!"

"Hey, of course Hong Kong doesn't produce corn anymore. Most of this corn is produced in Northeast China, Shandong, and some Southeast Asian countries, and even the United States. "Ah Xing is very talkative, and he speaks briskly, and there is nothing to shy away from.

"Then why do you transport corn from Hong Kong? Isn't it just a matter of transporting it directly from Northeast China and Shandong, isn't it closer? And it also reduces the trouble of handing over corn from Hong Kong?" asked Chen Donghui very curiously.

Ah Xing looked at Chen Donghui like a fool: "Brother, of course we want to use the method you said, which can save a lot of transportation costs, but the transportation problem can't be solved at all." ”

"The old docks are not good?"

Ah Xing looked at Chen Donghui like a fool, and said with a smile: "Brother, you are asking this question, the old wharf is not impossible, otherwise how would this corn be transported? ”

"That's it......" Chen Donghui also smiled, realizing that the question just now was indeed too stupid, but he was not professional at all about these things, and he was completely crossing the river by feeling the stones.

"Brother Xing, if I can solve the transportation problem and organize the purchase of corn, will you collect it?" asked Chen Donghui curiously.

Lord Ah Xing looked at the watermelon and said, "Of course! As long as you can bring the goods, we will ask for it, and we can sign the contract immediately." We have just built a new plant, with a design capacity of 500,000 tons a year, and 70% of the raw material is corn.

Chen Donghui roughly calculated that the average monthly corn demand of Jinyuan Feed Factory is about 30,000 tons, and if the supply can be organized, even if it earns a dollar per ton, the monthly income is about 30,000 yuan.

He still doesn't know what the profit of the corn business is, but he knows that there are a large number of corn fields in Northeast China and Shandong, and there is definitely no problem in organizing the supply from there.

"Brother, do you have a relationship with transportation?" Ah Xing asked, this time his tone was very careful, he regarded Chen Donghui as a person with a background.

"Hehe, I can go and ask. Chen Donghui didn't answer directly, and asked, "What method does Jinyuan usually use to settle settlements?"

Ah Xing said with a smile: "This, our company has a good reputation in several big banks, and we can open a letter of credit, as long as we sign a contract." ”

Chen Donghui understands that the letter of credit is a written document in which the bank conditionally promises to make payment in accordance with the requirements of the applicant and under the conditions that the terms of the letter of credit are met.

This is somewhat similar to Alipay, which later set off a monstrous frenzy in China's retail industry.

As long as Jinyuan Feed Factory is willing to issue a letter of credit to the seller, then Chen Donghui will find a way to endorse the real seller, and he can empty the white wolf!

"Brother, if you really have a way, it's definitely a big business. Ah Xing said again.

"Brother Xing, I'll ask about the situation, leave your phone number, I'll contact you when there is news." Chen Donghui said.

"Okay! Okay!" Ah Xing touched his body twice and smiled embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, I forgot to bring my business card." I'll give you a phone number. ”

Chen Donghui smiled: "Okay, Brother Xing, I didn't bring a business card either, leave a pager number for you, and call me if you have something." ”

The two exchanged numbers, and Ah Xing shook hands with Chen Donghui: "Brother, I hope we can cooperate." ”

"Brother Xing, wait for my news. Chen Donghui said.

Leaving Qilipu, Chen Donghui immediately hurried to the railway station first, his idea was that since the sea transport has not opened a route, is it possible to run the railway?

Just do it, Chen Donghui came directly to Qinggang Railway Station, and Chen Donghui directly found the freight department of the railway station.

However, after consulting with the staff, Chen Donghui learned that the corn was not included in the freight plan of the railway department, and only applied for unplanned indicators.

The staff is an enthusiastic eldest sister, and she sees that Chen Donghui is very energetic and polite, so she kindly told Chen Donghui that the unplanned indicators are very sought-after and not easy to apply.

Chen Donghui thinks about it, if railway transportation is feasible, I'm afraid Jinyuan Feed Factory will think of it itself, and still use him Chen Donghui?

As for the unplanned targets, Chen Donghui is now penniless, and he dare not count on them.

After leaving the train station, Chen Donghui, who was unwilling to be pulled down like this, came to Jinsha Port again, this port is so big, maybe it can solve this problem.

After consultation, Chen Donghui found the manager of the Haitong terminal in Jinsha Port, who was in his thirties, was polite and wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses.

Chen Donghui knocked on the door of Manager Huang's office, he was drinking tea and reading the newspaper inside, looked up at Chen Donghui, and asked, "What's the matter?"

"May I ask if it's Manager Huang?" asked Chen Donghui politely.

"Yes. Manager Huang asked expressionlessly, "Which unit are you from?"

Chen Donghui didn't answer this question, and asked directly: "Hehe, Manager Huang, I want to inquire about the route situation here." ”

Manager Huang's face was a little displeased, and he asked again: "Let me ask you, which unit are you from?"

This time, Chen Donghui had no choice but to say: "I don't have a unit, but I ......"

Before he finished speaking, Manager Huang interrupted him: "I'm really busy, I don't have time to answer your questions, you go ask others." ”

Chen Donghui took out a red envelope prepared in advance, walked to Manager Huang, and put it under Manager Huang's newspaper.

Manager Huang immediately changed his face and said, "What is this for! Sit down, what do you want to ask?"

Chen Donghui didn't sit down and asked, "Manager Huang, I would like to inquire whether there is a possibility of opening a route from Qinggang to Dalian?"

"It's a complicated route. Manager Huang put his hand on the table and said with a smile, "It has not been opened yet, but some time ago I heard from the shipping bureau that this route will be opened." ”

"Maritime Bureau?"

"Yes, that's under the control of the Maritime Authority. ”

"Manager Huang, can you help me consult the shipping bureau?" Chen Donghui said, "Hehe, I am in business, and I am going to transport a large number of goods from the northeast." Manager Huang, if this business is done, I will definitely thank you. ”

Manager Huang showed a knowing smile and picked up the phone on Table Mountain: "I'll help you ask." ”

Chen Donghui hurriedly said: "Thank you so much Manager Huang." ”

Manager Huang pressed a few numbers, the phone rang, and Manager Huang said, "Director Chen, hello, hello, I want to consult you about something......
