Chapter 20: Profiteering Industries
"Got in touch so quickly?" I was surprised.
"Prepare with both hands, and proceed in two lines," Ma Yu said proudly, "How about it, boss, do you have to invite me to a drink?"
It's indeed dinner time, but I don't have the heart to drink now, this is different from the previous two days, haggling with antique dealers for a few jars of ancient coins of the Liao Dynasty, this is my first business in the real sense, excited, excited, longing, and a little nervous.
"Tell me how?" I asked eagerly, "where to buy the coal, and to whom to sell it - wait and find the land." ”
Ma Yu and I were standing at the door of a certain bureau, there were a lot of people, I drove Ma Yu and rode back to her residence, and then I began to listen to her.
Ma Yu only negotiated this business last night, the source of goods came from a coal yard called "Hongda", the person who sold the coal was the security section officer of the coal yard, surnamed Zhao, of course, it was smuggled out, Ma Yu had already negotiated the price with Secretary Zhao, 120 yuan per ton.
"Now the market price is 150 yuan, which is 30 cheaper, and we have 30,000 yuan, and we can purchase 250 tons. ”
"250 tons, so much?" I was surprised, mainly because I didn't expect the current coal to be so cheap, "how to solve the transportation problem?"
"Hire a coal truck, 250 tons is not much, the standard load capacity of the coal truck is 45 tons, but if you load 5 tons more, there is no problem at all, it will not overflow, so you only need 5 cars. "Ma Yu is really knowledgeable, and he even understands these details.
"Where?" I asked again.
"Golden State Power Plant. ”
I nodded, Golden State and Xicheng are next to each other, and the distance should not be far.
"More than a hundred kilometers?" I asked.
"124 km. Ma Yu said precisely.
"How much does it cost?" I asked again.
Ma Yu closed his eyes, as if he was doing mental arithmetic, and after a few seconds, he opened his eyes: "If you go back and forth in each car, it will be 840 yuan." ”
"What is the purchase price of the power plant?" I finally asked, and when this data comes out, it can be calculated as the final profit.
Ma Yu took a sip of water and chuckled: "We need to talk about this, the normal price should be 220 to 250 yuan per ton." ”
I took a pen and paper and calculated, even if the cheapest is 220 yuan per ton, the price difference per ton is 100 yuan, 250 tons is 25,000 yuan, minus the transportation cost: 840 times 5, the net profit is 20,800 yuan!
My God, if you invest 30,000 yuan, overnight, you can turn it into 50,000 yuan, close to 7% of the profit!
No wonder those who poured coal made a fortune, it was simply too profitable!
"Hey, wait, no," I frowned, "we only have 30,000 yuan, and we have purchased coal, what will we use to pay for the transportation?"
"Stupid, aren't you going to pay them after the power plant settles the bill?" Ma Yu poked my head like a teacher teaching elementary school students, "If you want to make your business bigger, the most important thing is to learn to make money with other people's money!"
I thought about it and nodded, this is the truth, Secretary Zhao's side, because he is stealing coal to sell, he will definitely not take credit, pay money with one hand and deliver goods with the other, but the coal truck is different, they are only responsible for transportation, there is no risk, we are a regular company, we can owe it first, and give money afterwards.
"Have you found the car?" I asked.
Ma Yu nodded: "Five cars, start trading at one o'clock in the morning." ”
"What do you need me to prepare?"
Ma Yu shook his head: "No need, the first time, I'll take you, you just look at it, if you feel that there is a problem, don't squeak, I'll solve it." ”
"Do you want to bring Zhou Fang? She's my partner. I asked.
Ma Yu thought for a while: "I don't recommend taking her, she is the daughter of the Zhou Bureau, if something happens and she is involved, it will not be easy for the Zhou Bureau to operate." ”
"You mean to say that let Zhou Fang stand behind the scenes, and once I have a problem, she will find a way to catch me?"
"That's right," Ma Yu said with a smile, "Boss, you're really a genius, just a little bit of it!"
"No, no, I have to learn more from Teacher Ma!" I bowed, jokingly.
"I'll go grocery shopping, and you can report the situation to your partner. Ma Yu raised her eyebrows, went into the bedroom, changed into women's clothes and went out shopping.
I called Zhou Fang and told me about this, Zhou Fang was also very happy, yelling to do it with me, I reasoned with her and asked her to help me escort, after all, it is not a completely righteous business, Ma Yu said, the black coal is not afraid of the relevant departments to investigate, but is afraid of the ruffians and hooligans in the mining area to do things.
"Okay, Tang Yi, be careful yourself, once something happens, call me immediately, don't force yourself to come, you know?" Zhou Fang instructed.
"Don't worry, I'm measured. ”
"By the way, Tang Yi, let me tell you something. ”
"Say yes. "I sat on the couch and turned on the TV to see if there was a World Cup.
"At noon, Wang Can asked me to eat, and I thought that I couldn't be exposed, so I went. ”
I immediately turned off the TV and listened carefully to Zhou Fang's story.
"It's nothing to eat, the point, he keeps smiling at me, laughing so much that I feel a little hairy in my heart, you say, does he know something?"
I thought about it and asked Zhou Fang: "Liu Shanshan, is there any new situation?"
"I don't know. ”
"You take the time to take a look, if you are exposed, there is only one possibility, and that is that Liu Shanshan sold you. "I definitely say that with Zhou Fang's professional skills, he will not be discovered by Wang Can when he is tracking and secretly shooting.
"I understand, I'll go to the hospital. ”
Half an hour later, Zhou Fang called: "Liu Shanshan was discharged from the hospital in the morning, I don't have her contact information, I went to her house to find it, and the building was empty." ”
My heart is tight, don't let this female college student do anything bad, but after thinking about it, it won't hurt anything, it's a big deal to be discovered by Wang Can and bring him the video of him sucking du, anyway, now the Wang family can't pose any threat to Lao Zhou.
I comforted Zhou Fang a few times, and asked her to be careful when she came into contact with Wang Can again and tried not to show her feet.
"Okay. ”
Ma Yu cooked the meal, the two of them had dinner, did not drink, after the meal, I didn't leave, I slept directly on the sofa of Ma Yu's house, Ma Yu slept in the bedroom, set the alarm clock at twelve o'clock at night, I was too tired for the past two days, and I had to recuperate tonight.
At 12 o'clock, I was woken up by the alarm clock, Ma Yu had already woken up, changed into men's clothes, put on a wig, and the two set off on a motorcycle, and fifteen minutes later, came to the mining area.
A few days ago during the day, I came to the mining area, very lively, at least more than 20 large and small coal yards, this is not the only mining area in Xicheng, although it is now the middle of the night, there are also some coal yards in the overnight operation, in the dim yellow mining lamp, dust and smoke, machines on the ground, underground roaring, the environment is messy.
We came to the back door of the "Hongda" coal yard, Hongda did not carry out night production, the field was very quiet, by the starlight, we could see the mountains of coal inside, all of which were money!
"What about the convoy?" I asked Ma Yu, not a single one.
"It's not time, just wait. Ma Yu got out of the car, took off his helmet, sat on a broken chair next to him, and I parked my motorcycle on the side of the road, sat side by side with her, and waited quietly in the dark.
Waiting until 0:45, on the road to the coal yard, suddenly became noisy, and there were many coal trucks, looking at the lights, at least more than 20 of them.
"Is there anyone else to buy and sell?" I asked Ma Yu, we only hired five cars.
"Of course, we're just a small business, and people are big business!" Ma Yu got up with a smile and patted the dust under his pants.
At this time, there was also the sound of diesel engines in the mining area, the side door was opened, and by the light, I saw several yellow excavators lined up inside, not excavators in ordinary construction sites, much larger, I feel that it can be as high as two floors, and the excavator bucket is also surprisingly large, which should be specially used to dig coal (not digging coal from the ground, but transferring coal from the ground to the coal truck, and the excavator for loading).
I looked outside the coal yard again, and the convoy drove into the gate and stopped in the yard, the formation was very chaotic, but orderly, and there were a few private cars that came with the convoy.
"Follow me. Ma Yu pulled me, into the coal yard, to a simple shed with lights on, those who came by private car, also walked this way, Ma Yu and I were the first to enter the shed, inside the miasma, four middle-aged people were playing mahjong, and there were two people watching the game.
"Brother Zhao, I'm here. Ma Yu smiled at one of the middle-aged men playing mahjong.
That guy didn't even look at Ma Yu, took a cigarette, squinted, glanced at the mahjong that had been played on the table, picked out a "five", and put it on the table.
"Thank you, Brother Zhao!" Ma Yu picked up "Wutiao" and pulled me out of the shed, and a man in line behind us looked at us coldly and also entered the shed.
"What do you mean?" I asked, puzzled.
"One represents 50 tons, and five is 250 tons, this is the quota given to us by Secretary Zhao, which was negotiated before. Ma Yu whispered.
"Damn, and tokens, it's like making a movie," I laughed and said, "What if it's 10,000 tons? Give us all the 'cards' on the table?"
Ma Yu gave me a blank look: "'Strip' is the smallest unit, which represents 50 tons, one 'cake' represents 100 tons, and one '10,000' represents 500 tons!"
No wonder Director Zhao doesn't look at us squarely, it turns out that our number is too small.
Ma Yu took me to the excavator, she climbed up, gave the "five" to the excavator driver, and then pointed to a few cars in the distance, the excavator driver nodded, drove over, because the bucket is very large, a bucket shovel down, almost 10 tons, less than ten minutes, our five cars were full.
"Get on the bus!" Ma Yu took me to one of the coal trucks, drove out of the coal yard, drove out of the mining area, and drove south.
The coal trucks were fully loaded, and the speed was not fast, and it was almost four o'clock in the morning when we arrived at the Jinzhou Power Plant, and in front, there were still many coal trucks in the queue, and it was almost five o'clock when we arrived.
Ma Yu whispered to me: "Don't squeak later, I'll negotiate the price with them." ”
"Understood. ”
The two got out of the car and walked to the ground scale (for weighing, the car can drive directly up), where two people were standing, one of them was holding a notebook and was in charge of recording, and the other was a man with glasses, standing with his back hand and an indifferent expression.
"Section Chief Wang of the Power Plant Procurement Section," Ma Yu whispered to me, and immediately greeted him and shook hands with the man with glasses, "Brother Wang, long time no see." ”
"Oh, pony, why are you here in person?" The man with glasses was very enthusiastic about Ma Yu, and he probably had dealt with him before.
"It's not our company's coal, it's a friend of mine, surnamed Tang. "Ma Yu introduced me to Section Chief Wang.
Although Ma Yu didn't let me speak, at this time, I always had to say a few words, right?
"Hello Brother Wang, little brother Tang Yi, please take care of me in the future. I said.
When Section Chief Wang looked at me, his expression returned to indifference, and he only nodded and did not speak to me.
"Brother Wang, give me a good price!" Ma Yu took out a cigarette and handed it to Section Chief Wang and the recorder.
Section Chief Wang took the cigarette, I quickly took out the lighter, lit it for him, Section Chief Wang looked at our "convoy": "How many cars?"
"5 cars, 250 tons. I said.
Ma Yu glared at me, and then turned to Section Chief Wang with a smile: "Although there is not much coal, the quality is good, and it is all first-class anthracite." ”
Am I saying the wrong thing?
Section Chief Wang nodded: "Okay, for the sake of your pony's face, 230." ”
"My brother Wang," Ma Yu smiled and frowned, hugging Section Chief Wang's shoulder, "My face is worth 10 yuan, why do you have to give 250?"
"Recently, the price of coal has been low, you should know," Section Chief Wang said with a smile, "240, it can't be higher." ”
"Okay, 240 just-"
"Hey, wait. I shouted, Ma Yu turned around, glared at me again, and told me to shut up.
I didn't listen to her, walked over, and whispered to Section Chief Wang: "Brother Wang, my brother doesn't know how to do it, don't laugh when I ask you something." ”
Section Chief Wang looked at Ma Yu, looked at me again, and said lightly, "Ask." ”
"What's the guaranteed floor price for your purchase?" I asked.
"What do you mean?" said Section Chief Wang frowned.
"If I'm not mistaken, your purchase price is not the same price as the purchase price you reported to the company, right?" I laughed.
"Tsk, what are you talking nonsense! Go back to the car and stay!" Ma Yu got angry and kicked me hard.
But Section Chief Wang didn't squeak, squinted his eyes, as if listening to me continue.
"Brother Wang, my 5 truckloads of coal are indeed first-class anthracite, if you report 300 to the company, is it also within the normal limit?" I laughed.
Section Chief Wang pouted: "300? The provincial capital doesn't have this price, at most 280." ”
"Okay, then 280, the extra 50, count me as honoring you, in the future, we will cooperate for a long time!" I stretched out my right hand, and Section Chief Wang's expression froze for a full five seconds before he smiled and shook hands with me.
"Xiao Gao, remember, first-class anthracite, 280 a ton, a total of 300 tons. Section Chief Wang turned to the recorder, who nodded, brushed a line, and stamped a seal on the back.
"Thank you. "I took Ma Yu on foot and said, go to the other side and wait.
"What are you doing? Why didn't I understand it?" asked Ma Yu puzzled.
"You'll find out later. I laughed.
Soon, after the scale, the financial staff settled the account, 280 a ton, 300 tons, gave me 84,000 yuan, I counted out 15,000, under the cover of Ma Yu, stuffed into two empty cigarette boxes, and turned back to find Section Chief Wang: "Brother Wang, thank you, you have these two boxes of cigarettes." ”
"Okay, then you're welcome. Section Chief Wang took the cigarette case and put it in his pocket......
