Chapter 218: Discuss countermeasures
Wu Jiming and they were already waiting for Lin Qiang and them in the office.
Hu Qi went home and took a shower, shaved his beard, and cleaned himself up from the inside out, he didn't want to be too depressed in front of his classmates. Zhou Zhixing had only met Lin Qiang once, and he didn't know much about him, so he only hoped that he could really help them think of a way this time.
The three of them took out the account book and calculated carefully, there was a total backlog of 2,180 tons of goods in the warehouse, the highest purchase price reached 56,000 yuan/ton, the lowest purchase price was 38,000 yuan/ton, the total value of goods was as high as 96 million yuan, and the average purchase price reached 44,000 yuan/ton!
Half a month ago, they had exhausted the last 15 million yuan raised at the price of 38,000 yuan/ton, and thought that the market would gradually stabilize, but the price fell all the way down, and the lowest purchase price had fallen to 23,000 yuan/ton in a week, which was equivalent to the total value of their inventory shrinking by half!
Recently, these two, The price has not fallen much in three days, but it is not that the market is picking up, but most of the processing plant inventory is almost out, no longer producing, there is basically no supply in the market, most of the goods are pressed in their warehouse, and Liang Zhigao these intermediaries have withdrawn, the sales channel is cut off all of a sudden, and those distribution companies associated with the major copper enterprises are also holding the attitude of watching the fire from across the strait, and these distribution companies have been purchasing through intermediaries, and there is no direct transaction with Wu Jiming These speculators, and the two sides do not have smooth transaction channels, especially in this market full of despairNaturally, these distribution companies will not be in a hurry to make a move, and even if they want to make a move, it is difficult to establish a cooperative relationship with speculators who can trust each other at once, unless there is a trustworthy intermediary from the guarantee introduction.
Since Lin Qiang was able to call Qin Xiaohua to Fengcheng, Wu Jiming and Hu Qi hoped to directly contact the distribution company through their relationship.
"Kai, this time we must make a decision immediately, and we can't hesitate any longer. Wu Jiming said.
Hu Qi smiled bitterly and said: "Mr. Wu, I have discussed with Lao Zhou, if Lin Qiang and they really have a way, the shipping price and transaction method are all up to you, just want to sell the goods as soon as possible, we don't want to fall into the fate of Fat Laohua." ”
Hu Qiping usually has a lot of business dealings with Fat Laohua, and he and Wu Jiming were inspired by Fat Laohua and ambitiously plunged into the ranks of recycled copper. Fat guy Hua is a famous steel king in Fengcheng, is one of the first batch of recycled copper in Fengcheng to speculate on the boss, when the market is hot, a way in and out can earn a huge price difference, operating steel money is much faster, and gradually transfer the funds of several large steel business departments under the name to recycled copper, ready to give it a go. According to Wu Jiming's estimates, Fei Laohua invested at least 150 million yuan in recycled copper, and suffered heavy losses in this storm, and finally couldn't withstand the pressure, and committed suicide by jumping off the building three days ago, which shocked Hu Qi and them greatly.
Lin Qiang didn't say anything on the phone, only promised to call his friend over, and it was unknown whether he could come up with a solution. Wu Jiming said.
Lin Qiang and the others arrived in Fengcheng in the evening.
The appearance of Liang Zhigao and Xie Yong made Wu Jiming have an unexpected surprise.
"Let me introduce, this is my high classmate Boss Hu, and this is Boss Zhou. Lin Qiang introduced: "This is my partner Miss Qin. ”
Hu Qi didn't dare to hold up in front of Lin Qiang this time, and after shaking hands with Qin Xiaohua, he nodded at Lin Qiang and invited them to sit on the sofa.
Qin Xiaohua said straight to the point: "I have already talked to the CEO of a large copper company in Jiangxi on the phone, and he is helping to find a way." ”
"Thank you so much, Mr. Qin. Wu Ji Ming Dynasty Qin Xiaohua arched his hand.
"Mr. Wu, you don't have to say kind words at this time. You and Lin Qiang are fellow villagers, but also our partners, can help, we will definitely do our best, but now the situation is more serious, Jiangxi is too far away from us, and the manufacturer has a fixed channel for purchases, to dredge a lot of relationships, my boss friend is looking for someone to communicate, I don't know if I can help. Qin Xiaohua said, "So, let's just bring Mr. Liang here, Mr. Liang's way must be that there are many laymen like us." ”
Hu Qi and Zhou Zhixingci have been unwilling to let go in front of Liang Zhigao to lower the shipping price, and in the end they did not negotiate a deal, and they were embarrassed to ask each other this time. Hu Qi didn't expect Lin Qiang to call Liang Zhigao with a phone call, it seems that he really knew too little about Lin Qiang before.
"I have exchanged views with Mr. Qin, and in this case, directly looking for the manufacturer may not be able to solve the problem in front of us. Liang Zhigao said: "On the way here, Mr. Lin reminded me by phone, and I talked to Manager Tan of the previous distribution company on the phone, and he was rushing over from Shantou overnight. ”
Liang Zhigao said that these distribution companies have a very strong relationship behind them, and since Manager Tan came in person, there should be a way to think about it, listening to his tone, this time he must also want to take the opportunity to make a benefit for himself. As for how to talk about it, we will not know until Manager Tan arrives, but Wu Jiming must not only be psychologically prepared to make profits, but also vigorously cooperate in all aspects such as transaction methods and payment settlement.
When Hu Qi heard this, hope was ignited in his heart. As long as the goods can be sold smoothly, it is essential to make profits. They are also well aware of the rules of this industry, without Liang Zhigao these intermediaries, it is difficult for them to trade directly with those distribution companies, each transaction volume is often millions of dollars, tens of millions of yuan, distribution companies will not dare to easily transfer a huge amount of deposit, and Wu Jiming They did not receive the deposit, naturally will not ship, both sides have concerns, at this time to rely on Liang Zhigao these intermediaries.
These intermediaries must have the ability to eat at both ends, not only to gain the trust of the distribution company, but also to have a full understanding of Wu Jiming's speculators, to ensure the safety of the deposit, but also to ensure the safety of the goods in transit, to ensure that the goods that have been paid for arrive safely at the place designated by the distribution company. This is the basic mode of daily trading, and Liang Zhigao earns the difference in his price.
But this time, Liang Zhigao was only in charge of matchmaking, and Wu Jiming talked directly with the manager of the distribution company about the price, and he didn't plan to make the difference.
"Mr. Liang rest assured, I know what to do. Wu Jiming said: "If the matter is negotiated, it will definitely be indispensable to Mr. Liang's benefits." ”
"Mr. Wu, you really see the outside world when you say this. This time, I was just entrusted by Mr. Lin to help you get the strings. Liang Zhigao said: "Xie Yong and I are iron buddies, and Xie Yong and Lin have always been friends for many years, and now they are still business partners, so I can rest assured that I will be this person." That Manager Tan also listened to my introduction to Mr. Lin and Mr. Qin's situation before he came to meet you in person, speaking of which, you really want to thank Mr. Lin and Mr. Qin. ”
"Brother Qiang is my senior brother, and I have learned a lot from him and Mr. Qin in the past year. What I regret the most is that I didn't follow Mr. Qin's advice in Yangzhou, took precautions against risks in time, and learned a big lesson. Wu Jiming looked at Lin Qiang and Qin Xiaohuadao.
"Remember, I've been obsessed with you for a few years, and I've been hit again before, and I've become cautious, and I don't dare to take big risks anymore, and I always feel that it's practical to do a small business. I'm not afraid to tell you honestly, before engaging in those imported foreign garbage, I and the senior brother in Dongguan are holding the purpose of safety first, although I have also made some money, but I always remember to prevent risks, so I stopped the purchase for the first time in the month. Lin Qiang said.
"Fortunately, Brother Qiang, you stopped the purchase in time, otherwise I would have to pay a large sum of money again. Wu Jiming said: "The processing plant has stopped production now, looking at the current market, there is no future in the future, there is a large processing plant with a national brand name in the industrial park to come up with 8 million yuan to buy, I am thinking of consulting Brother Qiang's opinion." Wu Jiming said.
"Hurry up. Lin Qiang said: "Although I lost some money, I should sell a lesson." ”
"I've done the math, but I don't really lose much. About 14 million yuan was invested in the plant, equipment and purchases, plus the salaries of Liu Yunfeng and his brother-in-law and workers, a total of about 15 million yuan was invested, and the batch of goods sold to Mr. Liang was recovered more than 5 million. If you count it like this, it's a game for nothing. Wu Jiming said.
"Then what are you hesitating about? Ah Hui and Zhiping have been stationed in Yangzhou for a long time, and they don't have time to help you take care of the processing plant here. ”
"Okay, I'll do it tomorrow. Wu Jiming said: "By the way, I haven't been to Yangzhou for a long time, and the project over there is going well, right?"
"It went well. Recently, there has been a big move in the northeast in the city, you deal with the situation here, hurry up and pass, Cao Xu and Li Wan and I are making new plans in the past few days. Lin Qiang said.
"Mr. Lin, I heard Ah Yong say that you have made a lot of moves in Yangzhou, and you are thinking of looking for an opportunity to go over and have a look. Liang Zhigao said.
"Very welcome. Yangzhou City is preparing to develop the northeast, there will be a lot of opportunities, I told Brother Yong again, let him find time to call you over. Lin Qiang said.
As he was talking, a waitress knocked on the door and came in and said to Wu Jiming that the restaurant was ready and asked when it would be open.
Wu Jiming Ma beckoned everyone to the restaurant. Except for Lin Qiang, all of them are good wine people, Hu Qi and Zhou Zhixing thought that they would finally have a chance to ship tomorrow, so the big stone that was pressed in their hearts was temporarily put down, and they toasted frequently during the banquet, and after a meal, they drank three bottles of Hennessy.
Qin Xiaohua drank red wine and didn't let her eyebrows, and even a veteran of the wine field like Hu Qi had to admire it. With a blushing face, she still maintains a dignified and noble face, and her intimate interaction with Lin Qiang from time to time has made Hu Qi secretly speculate about the relationship between the two of them.
Because they had to wait for Manager Tan to come over early tomorrow morning, after dinner, everyone did not arrange other programs, Liang Zhigao and Xie Yong drank a lot of wine and stayed in the guest room here, while Lin Qiang drove with Qin Xiaohua to the Haolaideng Hotel.
