"Breach of contract?"
Cai Jieming looked at Zhang Lu with a depressed face in a daze, and shouted angrily: "Mr. Zhang, didn't you say that it was foolproof before? Why is this situation happening!"
"How do I know that there is still a breach of contract, Wang Hongwei and his dignified executive vice governor are unreasonable, who can resist the move!" Zhang Lu broke down and grabbed his hair, and said angrily: "Don't say that we outsiders, even Bohai Province's own light industry and supply and marketing system, must be purged now." Wang Wensheng is already in the detention center, Hu Lanxuan, director of the Light Industry Department, is suspended, Director Xu of the Shengjing Light Industry Bureau is taken away by the Commission for Discipline Inspection, and the enforcement division of the Tiexi Basic People's Court has been served in a pot. The cleaning of the supply and marketing system is even stricter, and almost 60 percent of the leading cadres of textile-related units are unable to protect themselves......"
"You, your continent is really ......"
Cai Jieming swallowed his saliva, and then remembered that he was not in the United States, not in Japan, not in Treasure Island, but on the mainland. Compared with other countries or treasure islands, the control of the grassroots and society on the mainland is undoubtedly several levels higher, especially in the northeast, which has a high urbanization rate and a good ruling foundation, and the official can do many things that seem unbelievable to him.
To tell the truth, if it weren't for the price reform of textiles this time, it would have been a process to promote the marketization of commodities, otherwise just hoarding and speculating would have been enough for Zhang Lu's team to drink a pot.
Fortunately, Wang Hongwei is not good at the set of planned economic directives and allocation, so he must respect the signed contract to some extent. However, facts have proved that if a person can attain the position of executive vice governor, will he be in vain? A capable person can be more suitable than others under any system.
This is not, even if there is no means of directive allocation, the use of market means may not be afraid of these unfortunate masters. What is wrong with having a contract? The market economy is allowed, no, and the breach of contract is also a common phenomenon in the market economy!
Isn't the default itself also a manifestation of market regulation? It is conceivable that Zhang Lu's $10 million supply of goods that he thinks he can control will definitely usher in a stage of default in the future.
To say that they are businessmen is to insult the word businessman, but they are just parasites of a group of powerful people. Usually the way to do business is terrible, but I don't feel it, but I feel that I am a social elite who "crisscrosses the business sea". Self-righteous make a plan, and then fantasize about acting according to their plan.
In essence, it's just the same as the staff officers of the Japanese base camp during World War II, no, it should be said that the staff officers of the Showa are not as capable as the Showa staff officers. It's just that wishful thinking and arrogant thinking are in the same vein.
Not to mention that they never thought that the government would breach the contract, perhaps in their heads, there was no such concept of breach of contract at all! In the past, when they did business and did not follow the contract, who would dare to claim compensation from them? And their counterparty, which would dare to violate their contract?
Just like the cross talk that Zhou Wei said in the 2007 Spring Festival Gala, "I'm used to you"! These people are spoiled by these "****" in society, and this time they hit the iron plate. Needless to say, the end.
"Then at least return our deposit, right?" Cai Jieming gritted his teeth, thinking that the tens of millions of dollars in his hand were the investments that Zhang Zhongmou tried to win for him. If things don't work out, the money always has to be returned. If you can't go back to the money, I'm afraid you won't be able to go back to your treasure island.
"Retreat, of course you have to retreat!" Zhang Lu nodded happily and said: "However, according to China's foreign exchange management regulations, Shengjing Erfang only agreed to return the RMB according to the official foreign exchange price. ”
"Huh?"
Cai Jieming continued to be stunned today for the first time I don't know how many times.
China in the eighties, after all, is not thirty years later. What the government is determined to do, it can still carry out its ability to manage society. There is no capital in society that can contend with the power of the administration, and the grassroots level has not been so out of control that it is almost impossible to manage effectively. These small waves made by the unfortunate men are not even a threat to price reform.
The biggest threat to price reform is that these sloppy and sloppy people are not ranked at all. On the contrary, it is the people's rush to buy textiles that is the most headache.
The productivity of light industry enterprises in Bohai Province cannot be said to be low, but in the face of the sudden release of the masses' enthusiasm for shopping, it still seems a drop in the bucket.
It's just that the good thing is that textiles are not necessities of life after all, and with the rapid growth of prices, people's shopping enthusiasm has begun to decline gradually. When the price of a piece of clothing increases to the average worker's salary for more than half a month, many people have to consider whether it is still necessary to buy a piece of clothing.
When the price of a commodity begins to be higher than its actual application value, the main force of private retail investors begins to withdraw. But more "speculators" immediately followed, not only Bohai Province, not only the Northeast, and even the whole of China at this time, the poor private investment force, began to pay attention to the textile price reform in Bohai Province.
Although the price of textiles has begun to deviate from its market indicators, the rising prices have gradually made it an "investment good". After China's reform and opening up, the newly revived private capital can be said to be constrained everywhere and the living conditions are poor in this era, but it has also created their vitality like weeds.
The news of the liberalization of textile prices in Bohai Province spread, and soon people from all over the country began to rush to Bohai Province. Just like the real estate bubble in Hainan in '92 -- in fact, it was even worse, the real estate bubble in Hainan from 1990 to 1992 was against the backdrop that the direction of reform in China as a whole had been clear, the price reform was gradually liberalized, and the rise of the commodity social market economy was the general background at that time. In this context, Hainan is not the only place that has investment channels, and all parts of the country are showing a thirst for capital.
But five years before the Hainan real estate bubble, China's private capital is now weaker, but the areas of private capital that are open to private capital investment are also smaller.
Suddenly, Bohai Province has liberalized the price control of textiles, and as the price of textiles deviates from the value of its commodities, the textiles of Bohai Province are gradually moving closer to the direction of investment products.
In addition, there is also a problem with the supply of raw materials for textiles. Bohai Province is not a major cotton producing area, and the limited planting area does not produce good varieties. The main raw material of the textile mill, Yan zhòng, relied on the supply of commercial cotton from the Jilu Plain.
As a transportation artery, the imperial capital will inevitably pass through here when the commercial cotton of the Jilu Plain enters the northeast. And many of the commercial cotton that passed through the imperial capital were forcibly purchased at a high price.
In the face of the Bohai Provincial side's questioning and release request, the imperial capital simply and neatly refused.
Since you want to carry out price reform in Bohai Province, there is no reason why you should use the state's planned price to take the commercial cotton that has been allocated from the two provinces, Jilu Province, right?
However, the problem is that even if Bohai Province proposes a higher price, the Imperial Capital Railway Section dares not to arrange wagons at all! The cotton from Hebei and Shandong provinces is piled up, and it seems that it will not be able to enter Bohai Province.
And the stock of cotton in Bohai Province is about to bottom out.
"Is this my money? There is only such a little bit left?" Cai Jieming grimaced and glared at Zhang Lu angrily: "If you put 10 million US dollars on the black market, you can at least exchange it for 100 million yuan, 100 million! Mr. Zhang, but now? I can only get more than 60 million yuan according to the official exchange price of 1 to 3 yuan, and this is still the result of double compensation for liquidated damages! You must give me an explanation!"
Zhang Lu threw the Bank of China passbook he was holding on the table, gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Cai, don't worry, I will definitely return you with 10 million US dollars." Now the textile market in Bohai Province is quite hot, and we put this money into it, and doubling it is not a problem at all. When the time comes, let alone 10 million US dollars, you will be able to earn an extra 20 million yuan yourself, which is a lot of money in our mainland!"
"Mr. Zhang, this money is not my personal funds, you must ensure its safety! If you can't get back my $10 million in the end, I will definitely be unlucky, but I promise you won't be better!"
"I know!" Zhang Lu waved his hand impatiently and snorted: "Mr. Cai, don't worry, the textile factories in Bohai Province can't get raw materials, and it won't be long before they stop working." At that time, the price of textiles will have to rise to the sky. It's not impossible to double or triple the price, but I'll start by saying that the excess profit beyond your $10 million principal must be split in half!"
"Half a point?" Cai Jieming lowered his head and thought about it, and said dissatisfiedly: "This is not good, I took too much risk, I think three or seven points is about the same." ”
"It's half a point, this condition doesn't have to be discussed!" Zhang Lu said domineeringly: "This is in the mainland, without my relationship, you can't do anything!"
Looking at the vicious Zhang Lu, Cai Jieming moved his mouth, and finally had to nod under the forced gaze of his gaze.
If Zhang Lu's plan is not followed, 60 million yuan will never be exchanged for 10 million US dollars -- the official price is foolish, and the US dollar can be exchanged for the yuan, and there is no channel for the exchange of the yuan for the US dollar!
The way the People's Bank of China treats foreign exchange is basically Pixiu! Black eyes can't see silver! The dollars that have entered the treasury cannot be taken out without a speech at the vice-state level! As far as Cai Jieming's figure of 10 million is concerned, don't even think about it without the premier's signature!
Only by using the black market price of 1:10 can we make an idea from the amount of foreign exchange deposited by the local government. 100 million yuan for 10 million US dollars, this also has to consider market fluctuations, there is no 120 million insurance at all.
Cai Jieming is completely on the thief ship, on the one hand, he was not able to buy shares in the Xinke wafer factory, and on the other hand, he did not return 10 million US dollars, he can imagine what will happen to him if he returns to Baodao with 60 million yuan now.
It is good to work for Zhang Zhongmou for a lifetime, but the money owner who paid behind him is in a hurry, and he may have to go to prison.
In front of him, there was only one way to go dark.
Zhang Lu is full of confidence, these days, the number of people buying clothes, fabrics, and textiles in the major shopping malls in Bohai Province is much less, but the price of textiles in the market has not only not fallen, but is rising at a rate of at least 20% per day.
Some people from outside Bohai Province, carrying banknotes in snakeskin bags, began to haunt textile factories and textile warehouses across the province.
The speed of textile handover, even the people who are used to sitting on the ground and raising prices, are drenched in cold sweat. But the more this happens, the more these people rush up like moths to a flame.
But all textiles, all products that fall within the scope of liberalizing prices, are all within the scope of these people's hunting.
Soon, ordinary people in Bohai Province found that they couldn't buy clothes before the reform, but after the reform, they couldn't afford it. Before the reform, the price of an ordinary shirt was 15 yuan plus the corresponding cloth ticket. And now, although there is no need for cloth tickets, the price of shirts has simply risen to more than 80 yuan!
A single shirt is equivalent to more than half a month's salary of ordinary people, and this is just a shirt with extremely ordinary workmanship. If the number of stitches is higher, the color is more beautiful, and the workmanship is more exquisite, it has already risen to the sky. It's the same with cloth, where the price of even the most common white cotton has risen more than four times.
It's like the 5,000-point Chinese stock market, even though it has clearly deviated from market reality, people still believe that prices will continue to rise. This kind of stupid game of drumming and passing flowers, these people are playing it for the first time.
Although Zhang Lu suffered a lot of losses in the second textile of Xiucheng and the subsequent default, his special status made his actions not hindered and interfered.
In this era, there are very few "players" who can come up with 60 million yuan. Soon, in the textile market of Bohai Province, the crocodile came ashore again and again!
Zhang Lu is not the only crocodile on the market, and he is not even the biggest crocodile! At least on the bright side, there are two giant crocodiles, and even the provincial government has to wait for them.
Fang Peilin, who was killed from Oushi in the south, is the owner of China's first private bank, Fangxing Qianzhuang. Of course, this so-called private bank only keeps zài for one day in the strict sense of the word. The day after the bank opened, it was approached by the local Agricultural Bank and seized. But on the surface, although Fang Peilin has died down, in fact, his money business has never stopped.
Oushi, a city with a long tradition of doing business, had as much as 300 million yuan of private capital flowing in this way by 1986. Fang Peilin is burdened with a high interest rate of 14.4% per annum on private savings, and this speculative situation in Bohai Province is almost just his appetite.
Fang Peilin, who holds 100 million yuan, undoubtedly has the qualifications to become a banker.
However, it is not only Fang Peilin who has fallen on this chessboard. There is another person, even he has to be clumsy.
The other dealer in this game of chess is a corn merchant surnamed Wang from Shentuchuan. In the early years of this corn merchant's business, the business was to buy corn from Northeast China, and then load it onto trains and transport it to Shenzhen, and finally supply it to Xiangjiang. Although the process is mediocre, a trip to business is several times the profit.
Some people see that it is easy for him to make money, and they want to follow suit. But when you get started, you find that a seemingly simple business is not something that anyone can do. From the northeast to Shentuchuan, which almost straddles the transportation line between the north and south of China, who can get the wagon index from the railway bureau to transport corn? This businessman surnamed Wang later wrote an autobiography, claiming that the director of the railway section saw that his bones were strange, and returned the wagons he gave him and insisted on arranging for him.
Well, this director is really high-spirited, and he definitely didn't dare to accept his gift because the old man of this corn merchant was the trinity of the ********, the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission and the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee.
From this shameless temperament, it can be seen that this person will definitely have some achievements in the future!
It's just that by 1986, the corn merchant had long stopped transporting corn, but started an advanced game of exchanging currency in Shentuchuan.
Although last year, he was just involved in a $40 million foreign exchange evasion case. However, relying on a strong relationship, the investigation team sent by the ****** could only turn a big thing into a small one in the end. In his own words later, it was "the case faded over time." ”。
The businessman surnamed Wang, who suffered heavy losses last year, is now also targeting the textile market in Bohai Province, intending to take advantage of this time to make up for the previous losses. To this end, he invested a huge amount of 300 million yuan in one go and became a well-deserved bookmaker on the chessboard.
It's just that his money is not for nothing, no matter how much the businessman surnamed Wang can toss, it is impossible to come up with 300 million yuan. Some of this money was borrowed by him from the bank, and some of it was customer funds that he embezzled, so it can be said that he staked all his wealth to gamble on this shop.
Under these three people, there are countless large and small masters who also aim at the textile market in Bohai Province. They each showed their talents, although the capital is not as strong as the three of them, but there are many people and the road is more wild. The messy relationship, even the Bohai Provincial Government can't manage it at all.
In this way, the supply of raw materials to the textile mills in Bohai Province was stuck, and the unfortunate men all over the mountains cleared the inventory of the textile mills everywhere. All of a sudden, the textile price reform in Bohai Province really felt that it could not be carried out.
However, since Bohai Province dares to take over the plate of price reform, it will naturally not have only these two brushes.
Hongwu swept away the previous decline and recently regained his strength. Although his connections in the Tiexi Execution Court have entered, his investment in cotton cloth is really profitable. Even if you walk, you seem to be able to give birth to wind. He slammed open the door to the guest room and shouted excitedly.
"Brother Zhang, the price of 21-count yarn cheesecloth has risen to 500 yuan for 100 meters! 30-count high-count yarn cotton cloth can't buy 100 meters for 1,200 yuan now! Haha, we have made a lot of money!"
However, when Hongwu walked into the room, he was greeted not by Zhang Lu's excited smile, but by a stern face.
"Don't you know how to knock on the door? Get out! I don't know the rules at all!"
"Uh-"
Hong Wu's eyes swept away, and he immediately smiled awkwardly, took a step back, bent down and nodded: "I'm sorry Brother Zhang, I didn't know there were guests in your room, I'll leave now!"
As he spoke, Hong Wu hurriedly closed the door in front of him, then wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and hurriedly left the door.
Inside the door, Zhang Lu sat down in the room again, but he didn't say a word.
I don't know how long it took to do this, but a man in his thirties with a double chin in the room moved his butt uncomfortably, coughed and said: "Mr. Wang, Director Zhang, let's not talk darkly, I think this price is crazy now, I don't plan to play anymore." But you two also know that I have at least 100 million yuan of goods in my hands, and if I throw them on the market, maybe the market will collapse. I'm looking for you two first, and I don't want to see this situation. ”
Zhang Lu folded his legs and took out a cigarette from the cigarette case: "Mr. Fang, you also heard it just now, the price of this cotton cloth has risen again, how can there be a sign of collapse? You underestimate the market's ability to bear it, it doesn't mean that only you people in Ou City have money? The higher the price is speculated, the more people from all over the country will come." The more people come, the higher the price can rise. Do you see how much money is flowing into Bohai Province now, are you still afraid that no one will take over in the end?"
Fang Peilin shook his head and said unmoved: "I am a money bank, and profit is one thing, but risk control is a more important criterion. Now that things have gotten around, I feel like it's time for me to step away. ”
Zhang Lu and Mr. Wang glanced at each other, knowing that they might not be able to convince him anymore, so they had to turn to the topic: "The goods in Mr. Fang's hands must not flow to the market, otherwise the impact will be too great." ”
Mr. Wang groaned, gritted his teeth and said, "We both received your goods." Mr. Fang, let's make a price. ”
Fang Peilin stretched out a hand and opened it, and said indifferently: "I don't want more, the price is 500 million." With the current offer, I have a big discount. ”
"500 million is too much! In the whole of China, no one has so much money in their hands!" Zhang Lu took a deep breath and said in return: "300 million, 300 million, I can afford 100 million." ”
Zhang Lu doesn't think he has any money, but he has a backer behind him. His backer surnamed Chen, there is no problem with taking out 100 million.
Fang Peilin was unmoved, still shaking his head and said, "Five hundred million, no counteroffer." Okay is okay, no, I can put this batch directly on the market. ”
Zhang Lu and Mr. Wang couldn't help but change color when they heard this, this was a naked threat to them. However, Fang Peilin himself is not without heels, unless he can be tougher than him in Oushi, Zhang Lu and Wang Zong in Bohai Province can't help him.
If Fang Peilin was asked to put the cloth in his hand out, no one knew what would happen at this fragile price. Maybe it won't even be able to make a splash, and maybe the confidence of the market will collapse.
But Zhang Lu and Mr. Wang obviously didn't dare to bet on this shop.
"Then I'm ......" Zhang Lu's face was ugly, if something went wrong this time, he didn't know what would happen to the tragic result.
"300 million, I'll give 300 million!" Without waiting for Zhang Lu to speak, Mr. Wang said simply: "Director Zhang will take out 200 million, and we will eat Mr. Fang's goods." ”
