Chapter 82: The Profiteering Industry of the Times!

"Okay, let's stop talking nonsense! You're all here to buy steel, right? Then I'll auction it!" Jia Lei said.

"That's a good idea, the one with the highest price wins!" said a boss from Guangdi.

"The export price of these steel bars is $270 a ton in the world, and now it has been sold at $570 a ton in China, right? Let's not calculate it according to US dollars, let's just take the price in RMB, starting at 3,000 yuan! The highest price wins!" Jia Lei thought for a while and said.

Jia Lei brought back 12~14 mm rebar, which is a necessary product for building materials, and now it is in the period of national construction, and many people rush to ask for such steel bars.

"I'll pay 2,600 yuan a ton!" said the boss of Nan Changluo.

"I pay 3,000 yuan a ton. Boss Wang from the island immediately raised the price and said.

"I pay 3,400 yuan a ton. The boss from Guangzhou said.

"I paid 3,550 yuan a ton. The people from the city rushed to shout.

"I pay 3,600 yuan a ton. Boss Wang gritted his teeth and said.

With such a high price and shipping costs, he almost doesn't make any money!

"I'll pay 3,700 yuan a ton!" someone suddenly shouted, and everyone was stunned and looked over.

"Dude, do you really want to pay 3,700 yuan a ton?

"There is no way, our city is going to build a bridge this year, build a university town and a development zone, and build a subway! The deadline for the project is tight, and the construction site has been stopped because of the lack of steel bars, and if we don't buy these steel bars back, we can't afford to pay for lost work!" said the boss Zhao worriedly.

"Hey, who let you be Nanjing, which was the first to be built there! Our city doesn't have such a thick foundation, and we can't afford such an expensive thing. Boss Luo shook his head and gave up the price increase.

The others looked at each other and couldn't afford to pay a higher price, so everyone gave up.

"In that case, I will sell this 1,500 tons of steel bars to this boss from Nanjing!" Jia Lei said conclusively.

"This Boss Luo, you were the first to greet me just now, and I will ask you how much you will pay for the remaining 500 tons of cold-rolled plate, right?" Jia Lei asked.

However, Jia Lei is not optimistic about this Boss Luo, after all, when the auction was held just now, he offered the lowest price among everyone.

"Cold-rolled plate, this is a good thing! I pay 3,300 yuan a ton!" Boss Luo hurriedly said.

"I'll give 3,500 a ton!"

"I'll give 3,700 a ton!"

"I'll give out 3,800 a ton! Grandma is a bear, I don't believe anyone has more than me!" a big man from Henan shouted loudly, and the others hurriedly covered their ears.

"Oh, you won't shout quietly, no one will earn you such a high price!" Boss Wang rubbed his ears and said in disgust.

"Why is this cold-rolled plate so expensive?" asked Hong Chen puzzled.

"Steel bars can only be used to build houses! But this cold-rolled plate can be used to make both cars and home appliances, so what are the many uses?" Jia Lei said.

"Yes, yes, we have a car factory and a refrigerator factory over there, and we can sell these things directly to the factory as soon as they change hands. This Boss Zheng said happily.

Jia Lei waited for two minutes and found that 3,800 yuan a ton was indeed the highest price, so he sold the cold-rolled plate to Lao Zheng.

"Alas, it seems that my 50,000 yuan was spent in vain!" Boss Luo walked out in disappointment.

"Boss Luo, wait a minute, I still have a wagon of cold-rolled plate here that can be sold to you for 3,500 tons!

"I want it, but I don't understand why you sold me something so cheaply?" Boss Luo asked, but it didn't delay him from buying it.

He is ready to go out and sell the cold-rolled plate to others, so that he can earn more than 20,000 yuan without spending a penny.

"This is a reward for your discernment! I have hidden so much that you have seen it, and of course it is worth rewarding. However, the price is low because this cold-rolled plate is a little different from the others. Jia Lei said with a smile.

In fact, these 60 tons of steel are used by Huayi, although these steels look similar in appearance, but as soon as they are processed in the hands of people who know how to process, it is easy to see the difference between them and other cold-rolled plates, and Jia Lei had to sell it separately.

Since these bosses came from a big business like Ben's steel, they naturally carried checks from various banks, and Jia Lei took the checks directly from them, and sold the remaining steel to them after verifying the payment through the bank.

"By the way, can I ask you about something?" Jia Lei inquired with Boss Zhao from Nanjing when he was handling the handover.

"What's the matter, do you say?" asked Boss Zhao.

"Your Nanjing City and Mingzhu City are next to each other, why is the price difference of a ton of steel bars by more than 200?" Jia Lei asked kindly.

"In fact, at the beginning of October, the steel bars in our city were only sold for 3,350 yuan a ton, but in Mingzhu City, they were 3,700 yuan a ton! So now the steel bars in Mingzhu City are only bought for 3450, but our city has risen to 3700 a ton because of the extreme shortage of steel bars, and now our mayor is planning to learn from Mayor Zhao. The high price of steel bars is not a problem, the key is to be able to find a stable source of goods like Pearl City!"

"Hehe......" Jia Lei sneered when he heard this.

"What's wrong with you, are you sick?" Boss Zhao asked puzzled, he felt that Jia Lei's face was not very good-looking now.

"I'm fine! I've got other things to do, so I'll take my leave. Jia Lei said.

"If you have goods in the future, you must remember to come to me!" Boss Zhao hurriedly said.

"Okay! I'll remember. Jia Lei nodded and said, and then he left.

"I've never seen such a pit for a son in my life! Even if I'm a godson, I can't be cheated like this, and the landlord's family has no surplus grain? He actually used my things to stabilize prices, it seems that I should raise the price for him!" Jia Lei said angrily.

"Jia Lei, your godfather is also the mayor no matter how he says, we can't go against him for more than 200 yuan! Besides, the purchase price of a ton of your steel is less than 1,000 yuan, and you can earn more than 2,000 yuan for a ton of steel! Don't quarrel with Mayor Zhao for the difference of 200 yuan, it's not worth it!" Hong Chen saw that Jia Lei began to change his face, and immediately came up to stop him and said.

"Don't worry, I won't quarrel with him! I can't always be the big boss, I have to make this matter clear to him! That old fox in the province and I are pretending to be good people!" Jia Lei said through gritted teeth.

"But my mother said that Mayor Zhao is a good person, he has done a lot of practical things for the people, and he is a good official!" Dasha said.

When Jia Lei heard this, he couldn't help but want to spit blood out in protest!

"That's right, Mayor Zhao is a good person, he specially picks the skin from profiteers like us for the benefit of you citizens!" Jia Lei said angrily.

*****

As soon as they entered the country, Jia Lei and his group of people had to go their separate ways, Xia Fatzi returned to the capital, Hong Chen Dasha and they returned to Mingzhu City, only Jia Lei stayed in the Northeast.

"Third Master, do you have to let me come back, is there something looking for me?" Jia Lei asked while sitting on the newly bought Santana at the third master's house.

"Hey, then I'll be straight ahead, one is that the family wants to see you, and the other is that the village wants to set up a timber processing factory!" said the third master.

"What does it have to do with me if the village wants to set up a timber processing factory?" asked Jia Lei puzzled.

"You stupid boy, of course this matter has something to do with you! I heard Su Renfeng say that you have to buy wood all year round and sell it all year round, so I want to set up a wood processing factory or a flooring factory. The third master said.

"It's so troublesome to run a processing factory, how easy it is for me to sell timber directly! Just transport the wood here and sell it, anyway, Manchuria is full of merchants waiting to buy wood. Jia Lei said indifferently.

"Why are you so stupid, you kid, how cheap you sell wood, if you process this thing into a floor, the price of a cubic meter can be increased by seven or eight times!"

"I know how much money you can make from wood processing, but I don't really have time to come back to a lumber factory, and I don't have time to start a flooring factory or anything. Jia Lei said speechlessly.

He's very busy right now, and he won't do a small business under a million at all.

For example, for the 3,000 tons of steel this time, he earned 2,500 yuan for one ton, and he earned more than 7.5 million yuan at one time.

"There are hundreds of people in the village, do you need to ask you to keep an eye on it personally? There are dozens of men in our Lao Jia family, and you only need to be responsible for producing timber to open this wood processing factory and floor factory, and the village is responsible for producing land and management, and we will earn 5 or 5 points if we make money!" said the third master.

"Third master, my surname is also Jia?" Jia Lei glanced at him when he heard this.

"Oh! I've been negotiating with outsiders every day lately, and I'm used to saying that I'm used to it. I'm wrong! That's 4 or 6 points, right?" the third master hurriedly asked,

Five or five points are outsiders, but Jia Lei is his own family!

"3, 7 points! If you don't pull it down, how much is a piece of land in the village worth?" Jia Lei asked with a roll of his eyes.

In such a big place, you can just take out a few acres of land to build a wood processing factory, and you want to share half of this capital?

"Hey, you're a big businessman, and you're going to negotiate the price now. The third master said happily.

"No matter how smart I am, I can't keep up with your old age! Look at the new houses that almost every family in our village has built in the past two years. The people in the village have all sent it under the leadership of you and the eldest master, right?" Jia Lei asked as he looked at the newly built row of small second floors on both sides of the road.

"We just led the people in the village to sell some local products or something, but we didn't do anything! Our village is stained with the light of the border gate, and the villagers can sell the fruits and vegetables they grow to the opposite side for several times the price in China. In addition, when we sold apples, everyone shared a sum of money, and many people took that money as capital to go to Russia on the other side to become a master! The people in our village and the people in the village over there could not be more familiar, and it was convenient for the people in the villages on both sides to go out to do business together. Now every household in the village earns more than 100,000 yuan a year!" said the third master proudly.

Their village now has all the time, geography, and people, and it is difficult to get rich!
