Those who are good at fighting have no great feats.

Gu Kun bought a ship and did foreign trade by the way, all these operations were too stable, so a lot of ornamentation was missing.

When everything was paved and it was time to operate, nothing happened at first.

is like the Japanese martial arts novels of Gu Long's faction, which have been baked for a long time before the war, and the war is killed in seconds. The ornamentation is far less than Jin Yong's moves, with bells and whistles, and hundreds of rounds.

Two weeks passed quickly in a dull way. The days went from the end of March to the middle of April.

The Canton Fair opened, and Ma Feng, who had a good conversation with Gu Kun, also went to work on his own exhibition, and the two sides did not have more intersection for a while. Gu Kun didn't want to change history, so he made a friend and put it there to watch the changes, play and play.

Gu Kun's "double fleet cross-operation" business route has finally successfully run a round trip in the past half a month.

If the boat is not enough, two more will be rented, anyway, Gu Kun now has the capital and can afford a short-term charter deposit. If each road is operated by two ships, the trawl encirclement is also more convenient and efficient, and the transportation capacity is also large.

Each time, Long Wu and Chen Li took one of the fleets to carry out the route from Guangdong to Lanfang, carrying thousands of barrels of cheap diesel, hundreds of televisions, thousands of boxes of pirated toys, rain gear, tents, stockings, and small electronic products......

If a school of fish is found along the way, Long Wu will also catch a little in the spirit of not fishing for nothing, and then go to the Lan side to get out. Anyway, Gu Kun had already promised that the harvest they caught was extra, as long as they made sure that they were on the way and did not delay the voyage deadline, all the profits from the catch would be split between the sailors and the boss.

It was a very generous promise, and it was impossible for the sailors not to work hard.

At the same time, Gu Kun took another fleet to transport some supplies sold to the Weisha Islands north, focusing on catching tropical seafood that was expensive in Guangdong, and everything was business as usual.

For more than half a month, Gu Kun relied on shipping seafood, and after removing all costs, he still made a net profit of 2 million yuan.

All the way to Longwu, the cumulative profit from selling diesel fuel is more than 80,000 yuan, which is not much, after all, this is just a bottom-up cargo to prevent waste of transportation capacity, and diesel fuel is only pulled when there is nothing to pull.

More than 800 sets of 25-inch flat-screen color TVs from West Lake have been sold twice, and Skyworth's 21-inch non-flat color TVs in eastern Guangdong have been sold, with a cumulative profit of more than 30 yuan——

At that time, the Lanfang people mainly bought Japanese goods, a small number of southern sticks of Samsung, a 25-inch flat color TV cost close to RM2,000, equivalent to four or five thousand yuan.

The 25-inch flat of West Lake is only 1600~1700 yuan from Huaxia, and it can be sold for 2400 yuan at Lanfang retail, in order to make the shipment price have enough impact, Gu Kun contacted the local electrical distributor and played the slogan of "998 ringgit, pure flat color TV to take home", so it sold a lot in an instant (equivalent to 2400 yuan)

Skyworth's 21-inch non-pure flat, when it appeared in the Lanfang market, the asking price was even cheaper, and the final price was RM699.

Even so, as an exporter, Gu Kun can earn a price difference of 400 yuan for each TV set.

The only fly in the ointment is that the Lanfang market is too small - there are only 20,000 households here, and each family can only buy one for 20,000 units.

And in the mid-to-early 90s,TV is still a relatively valuable large household appliance,Many families buy TV sets with the intention of watching them for at least ten years,So every year, one in ten families will change to a new TV,Even taking into account the impact of low prices,Lanfang sells more than 3,000 TVs a year at most。

In addition to televisions, other pirated toys, rain gear, tents, stockings, small electronics...... and other export commodities, and also made a profit of one or two hundred thousand yuan for Gu Kun in the same period.

Therefore, Long Wu counted all the way, and he also made a profit of 600,000 yuan for Gu Kun in half a month.

Although it can't be compared with the more than 2 million profits brought by Gu Kun himself, considering that Long Wu's path does not need the support of talent and is replicable, this has already made Gu Kun very satisfied.

As a result, after buying the first new ship, Gu Kun's capital flow has rolled from six or seven hundred thousand yuan to nearly 3.5 million yuan.

On the day of the official opening of the Canton Fair, he placed an order with Wu Jingwei, the director of Chuanshan Donghai Shipyard, and bought two new ships in one go.

Both new ships are slightly smaller than the first one, and the main engine power remains the same, still at the top of the grid of 435 kilowatts, but the speed is faster. The total price of each ship is 100,000 yuan cheaper, and the unit price is 1.6 million, for a total of 3.2 million.

After buying the second and third boats, Gu Kun's remaining cash is equivalent to 1.5 million yuan (he also owes 1.8 million yuan in loans, which he plans to repay at the end of the year).

After the sudden increase in the number of boats, Gu Kun was not worried about the shortage of manpower - as of mid-April, in addition to Long Wu Chen Li, his subordinates had also recruited a total of 4 fishermen from the Weisha Islands, 6 veterans/demobilized personnel from the Weisha Islands, and 3 who were going through the procedures, including Gao Jianxiong, who had a good conversation on Ganquan Island at the beginning, and also said that he could complete the discharge procedures after May Day.

Therefore, when the time comes, he can ensure that each ship has at least 5 reliable backbone crew members, and the salary, subsidies and material expenses of the employees will reach the scale of 30,000 or 40,000 yuan per month.

With Long Wu and Chen Li, two examples of "you can be a captain if you do a good job", you don't have to worry about team cohesion for the time being.

However, the development has swelled to this point, and he can no longer avoid the covetousness of competitors from the Lan side, and all the contradictions that were dragged down by procrastination before have finally reached the crater.

......

Friday, April 15, two days after the official opening of the Canton Fair.

It was also the day when Gu Kun finished handing over the goods in Yuezhou again, and then handed over the fleet to Chen Li to take care of, and he flew back to Kuching by plane.

Unlike usual, this time Gu Kun did not let Long Wu and Chen Li bring the return fleet together, but asked Long Wu to be on standby after the last return voyage and wait for him in Kuching. He needs to take Ryugo with him just in case.

In the afternoon of the same day, Long Wu picked up Gu Kun, who had just gotten off the plane, at Kuching Airport.

As soon as we meet, report the situation first:

"Boss, when I drove back to Lanfang with the fleet last week to ship, I was finally intercepted by Chen Mingcheng's people at sea, he didn't dare to tear his face, but he had already made it clear that he wanted to see you by name.

I did what you said, saying that you are only in charge of the northbound route, and you have just left, so the sea is vast and you can't get in touch, so you have to wait a week. Chen Mingcheng believed it at the time, but he also put down his words, if you don't see him this time, then he will show the color of the fleet returning this time. ”

Gu Kun nodded, indicating that he understood, and then asked rhetorically: "Did you tell him that I flew back as soon as I arrived in Guangdong, so I want to go to Kuching for a while and stay for one night, right?"

Long Wu: "Anyway, Chen Mingcheng can still wait one day, he checked your flight, and knows that there will be two flights a week from Guangdong to Kuching, so he knows when you will arrive." However, his hand can't reach Kuching yet, he doesn't have that much power. ”

Gu Kun was very satisfied with this rhythm, just stabilize the enemy first.

While the two were chatting, Long Wu had already helped Gu Kun stop a taxi, and diligently helped Gu Kun open the door and let the boss get in the car first.

The taxi kicked the gas pedal and headed straight for Kuching city.

In the car, Gu Kun continued to lower his voice for a long time and asked: "Then I asked you to find the contact information of another state-owned oil importer and Boss Sa when I came back last week, did you help me get it?"

With his foreign trade tentacles, I don't believe that he will be indifferent to the first batch of domestic color TVs, pirated toys and small electronics that you sold back. ”

Long Wu replied with confidence: "He noticed, especially when my second batch of TVs arrived, he sent someone to hint that the Lanfang market could not eat so many cheap and high-quality TVs." In and out of the words, they all wanted to seek cooperation, and they also left contact information. ”

Gu Kun was even more relieved: "That's good, when I get to the hotel in a while, I'll call Boss Sa." ”

Gu Kun's words were extraordinary, and he mentioned the name of another wealthy Lanfang businessman.

Savuyang.

This boss Sa is also a well-known oil merchant in Lanfang, and the scale of the diesel import business he operates every year is slightly larger than that of Chen Mingcheng. But because Chen Mingcheng stood behind the Breton Shell Company, the supply of goods obtained by Sa Wuyang was more expensive than Chen Mingcheng, and the total profit from oil sales was also suppressed by Chen Mingcheng.

However, Sa Wuyang's business scope is relatively wide, and he does almost all the import and export trade of most categories of Lanfang, from daily chemical products to clothing and building materials, he imports, unlike Chen Mingcheng, who only focuses on selling oil.

So in terms of total scale, Boss Sa's business is two or three times larger than Chen Mingcheng.

It is estimated that the Chen family's family assets are about RM15 million and 40 million yuan.

And Sawuyang's family property can have 40 million ringgit, which is equivalent to 100 million yuan.

After learning that he was being targeted by Chen Mingcheng, Gu Kun realized that his strength was still too small at that time, and if he insisted on relying on himself, even if he could withstand Chen Mingcheng, he would be greatly injured.

The key is to rely only on himself, he is not sure to kill Chen Mingcheng in seconds and uproot him.

After making a feud, you can't cut the enemy to the root and let the enemy continue to worry about yourself, this is not Gu Kun's style.

Therefore, it is inevitable to connect horizontally and vertically with the help of external forces.

Gu Kun expanded the categories of goods he sold, attracted the attention of the Sa family, and then attracted the other party to contact him, which was based on this consideration.

It's just that uniting with external forces also has to pay a price, and even give up some of the benefits, and the gains and losses depend on Gu Kun's wrists.

......

An hour later, Gu Kun returned to the center of Kuching, found a high-end hotel near the "Cherished Spring Garden", and then made a long-distance call to Sawuyang's private number.

He already has his own house in Kuching, but he doesn't want his business partners to know where his sister usually lives, so he is willing to stay in a hotel when talking about business.

"Who?" came the voice of a middle-aged man with insufficient energy on the phone, which sounded very empty, but it seemed like the kind of cynical and arrogant person who was used to it.

"Boss Sa, my name is Gu Kun, you should have heard of me, you asked people to find my subordinate Long Wu last week. ”
