Early the next morning, Gu Kun and his entourage of four returned to the fishing port wharf in Nansha and prepared to set sail.

Long Wu and Chen Li purchased a total of five tons of living supplies, and the rest of the ship was empty, waiting to be loaded with other goods.

Of course, these five tons of living supplies were not enough for the two of them to eat on the road.

They used up to 100 kilograms of supplies a week, and the rest were sold to local garrisons to improve their living conditions by passing through the Weisha Islands on their way back. It can't be said that you don't make money, but you just make a little less and support the army.

Under Gu Kun's instructions, Long Wu drove the boat to the refueling dock of the port, waiting to fill up the tank. Gu Kun also went through some formalities temporarily, filled out a list, and bought a large amount of diesel fuel in the name of going to sea for his own use, which was enough for 1,000 barrels, which could fill more than eighty percent of the maximum load capacity of his fishing boat.

"This is what you said last night about the business of drought and flood protection, and there is no risk, right?" asked Ryugo anxiously as he watched barrels of oil load onto the ship.

Gu Kun said with confidence: "Of course there is no risk, this is an export, not an import." And our Lan side has no tariffs, and both sides are not in the way, this is the most innocent business, but ordinary people can't think of catching this time difference. ”

Later generations of fishermen, because of the high price of domestic oil, so go to sea to fish, to foreign countries to fill up the oil and come back, that is not uncommon.

Moreover, people not only fill up, but also put a bunch of oil drums on the ship, saying that it is "reserved for personal use", which is also clearly allowed by law. This is the same as going abroad to buy some electronic products in countries with low tariffs, as long as you bring them back for your own use, rather than reselling, it doesn't count as going S.

(But there is a handful of lawbreakers who nominally reserve for their own use, but in fact resell them after returning to China, which is an illegal act.) Just like for-profit daigou, it is theoretically illegal. Gu Kun would never do such a thing. The above is just a general law. ）

What's more, the situation that Gu Kun is facing now is that the price of oil in China is cheap, and the price of foreign oil is expensive, which is even more natural.

As long as there are no restrictions in the laws of the Lan side, then there is no problem.

Chen Li obviously understood the boss's calculations better, and whispered mental calculations on the side: "Now Lanfang diesel is about 1 yuan 3 cents 5 to 1 yuan 4 per liter, which is converted into RMB." There is only 1 yuan 2 in Yuezhou, and a liter can earn a difference of 1 cent and 7. A barrel of 150 liters is 26 yuan, and a thousand barrels per ship is 26,000 dead profits.

And diesel this kind of bulk goods, not afraid of buying too much after the market is not smooth, there are tens of thousands of fishing families in Lanfang, it is estimated that there are at least more than 1,000 diesel fishing boats, this cheap oil can definitely be digested, it is really a good business. But I'm still quite curious, how can such a good business opportunity allow us to eat alone, and why didn't anyone else come to grab it?"

Gu Kun Zhizhu said in his hand: "That's because the RMB exchange rate has plummeted, it's only been 50 days, for the Lan people, this is something that happened in a foreign country, and no one has noticed the business opportunity for more than 50 days, which is normal." Moreover, until the end of last year, you had to buy things in Huaxia with a ticket, not just if you have money and buy as much as you want. So those who are not well-informed may still think that they can't buy enough oil with yuan. ”

The year 1994 was a year of drastic social change, and in addition to the abolition of the dual-track system of prices and the dual-track system of exchange rates, there was also a major event that affected the livelihood of the people of the whole country, that is, all the bills of the planned economy were officially abolished.

In remote areas, food stamps, meat stamps, oil stamps, and other products of the planned economy era, were delayed until 1993, and then they were officially abolished completely. From now on, in the land of China, as long as it is something that can be legally bought and sold, you can buy it with money.

The depreciation of the renminbi is also related to the relaxation of ticket restrictions. Because there is a sudden release of purchasing power in society that was previously suppressed by the plan, there will be more money for buying things, prices will definitely rise, and money will of course depreciate along with the trend.

It's just that the price adjustment of other materials that are closely related to the lives of ordinary people is very fast, and basically in January, it was adjusted in place in the natural game of the market.

Gasoline and diesel prices have been slow to adjust.

This was due to the fact that there were very few private cars at that time, and the vast majority of vehicles and boats were commercial. In order to ensure orderly production, the state naturally requires loss-making subsidies to ensure that oil prices do not rise. And the Huaxia Petroleum Corporation is rich and rich, and it is almost painless to lose a few months.

Finally, in the second quarter, it was found that because the domestic oil price was lower than that of neighboring countries, even many foreign ships came to China for refueling, and if the subsidy continued, it would be equivalent to a part of the subsidy to foreign shipowners. Only then did PetroChina quickly raise the price, from 1 yuan 2 to 1 yuan 5.

Therefore, as long as the secrecy is done well, Gu Kun can monopolize this oil price differential trade route from Huaxia to Lanfang and continue to make a small amount of money for three months.

The cost of a ship for a month, including the crew's salary, is about 30,000 yuan, and the cost of a trip is 8,000. The gross profit is 26,000, and there is a net profit of 18,000.

With the help of his wife, Long Wu finally figured out the account, but he still felt that the boss was a little stingy.

He asked suspiciously: "Captain, but you have made hundreds of thousands of net profits from one trip to fishing, why do you still stare at the small amount of money that is worth 10,000 dollars per week? Isn't this picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons?" ”

Gu Kun sneered proudly: "Hundreds of thousands of dollars are not something that anyone can earn, it has to have my listening skills, purse seine level, and my ability to find customers and negotiate, which cannot be replicated."

If I only have one boat, of course I can focus on fishing and selling money, but what if I want to take advantage of these months and quickly increase the leverage to expand production? What if I rent a second boat, a third boat, and I can't take charge of each of them myself?

If I make you the captain of one of the ships, can you guarantee that I will pay 18,000 a week with only two or three crew members?"

Long Wuyi was speechless, and had to admit that the boss was right.

Gu Kun's huge income is based on his ability to almost open a hanging, which is God's reward for food, which cannot be replicated on a large scale.

How can a normal person who is really fishing and begging for food at sea be so profitable?

At present, when this ship was originally in Liu Min's hands, after removing various costs, it would make a net profit of several thousand ringgit per month, equivalent to 10,000 yuan. And now Gu Kun sells diesel, and he earns more in a week than Liu Min in a month.

Gu Kun's thinking is obviously more like being a big boss, always thinking about how to find ways to replicate and expand his business, rather than relying on personal force to eat.

Gu Kun saw that he persuaded his subordinates, so he continued to analyze: "Moreover, if you can run this trade route through, I can completely change the mode in the future - for example, let's get two ships and stagger the voyage for more than a week, when ship A sets sail from Lanfang, ship B just returns from Yuezhou." Then I was on ship A, and after arriving in Yuezhou, I took a plane back to Kuching and turned back to Lanfang.

In this way, every ship that departs from Lanfang to Guangdong can focus on fishing, focusing on finding Malay tropical fish, and even purchasing Malay tropical fish by sea. Every ship that returns from China can first transport 1,000 barrels of diesel fuel to protect the capital and make a small profit, and then catch fish to have their own destiny, which doesn't bring my fishing talent to the extreme. ”

Gu Kun has already calculated, because the local seafood in Lanfang is not valuable, so even if he himself catches fish on the return trip, in the end, the benefits are only about forty percent of what he was when he came.

Since he is the only one who has the ability, of course, he must maximize the benefits of the hanging, that is, he only worries about the halfway from Lanfang to Yuezhou.

As for wasting a plane ticket when I go back, it's only 800 yuan. Compared with the increase in income, it is completely negligible.

People who make a lot of money have to be willing to pay for it. If you fly and dogs in order to save costs, it can become a big thing.

PS: I also want to do more, but the website says that the Double 11 contract is too late, and I haven't come to test the water so far, so I have nothing to do.

If you have to go 100,000 words faster to get the first recommendation, it's over. Please, be a little patient and a little human.
