Chapter 147 [Coal War]
Since the establishment of Mingzhu Company, the briquettes needed by the company have been contracted by He Qiang.
For He Qiang, Chen Tianlang is simply a great benefactor of his family, his wife works here, his son also works in a garment factory, and now he even has a stable customer for selling briquettes, how can he not thank Chen Tianlang.
As the weather gradually gets colder, more and more people need briquettes, He Qiang is very busy, but he has never forgotten to be here, as long as he calls here, he will give priority to sending briquettes.
At this time, He Qiang took off his coat and loaded briquettes with dirty briquettes and sent them to the staff canteen.
The staff canteen has only just opened, and Chen Tianlang asked people to build it, the purpose is to facilitate the staff to eat. Therefore, the amount of briquettes required is also larger.
As soon as He Qiang finished transporting the briquettes in his hand, he saw Chen Tianlang come over and greet him affectionately.
He Qiang hurriedly responded with a smile.
Chen Tianlang called him uncle, and He Qiang was even more happy.
Chen Tianlang asked him to find a place to wash his hands first, saying that he had something to discuss with him. He Qiang hurriedly went to the pool outside to wash his hands, and when he returned to the canteen, he saw that Chen Tianlang was sitting at the staff table waiting for him.
He Qiang wiped his hands and asked what was the matter.
Chen Tianlang said: "Uncle, how much does a ton of coal cost now?"
Chen Tianlang didn't ask about it, but when he asked He Qiang, he said with a sad face: "Don't say you don't know, today's coal price is cheap and cheap, a ton of coal used to cost 235 yuan, but now it's only 50 yuan a meal, which is half less. ”
Chen Tianlang nodded, already having a plan in his heart. If you remember correctly, this year is a disaster year, especially this winter there will be an unprecedented storm, heavy snow will close the road, so that all the coal outside can not be transported, so that the price of coal has skyrocketed, up to 600 yuan a ton, compared with the current price of four times.
"Uncle, where are our coal transported from now, and through what channels?"
Chen Tianlang asked very carefully.
He Qiang said: "You are to the point, don't say you don't know, you will be scared if you say it, do you know the three major coal yards in our southern capital, the three major coal yards are actually three people, we all call them coal bosses, coal madmen......"
Next, He Qiang told Chen Tianlang very carefully about the inside story of the current coal energy transportation and supply in Nandu.
In addition to those small coal yards with large sesame seeds, the largest coal yards in the south of the city are the east of the city, the south of the city, and the west of the city.
The boss who controls the three coal yards is three people, the controller of the east of the city is Liu Weidong, nicknamed "old ghost", this person used to work in the coal mine near Nandu, because of the fight with people in the coal mine, he killed people by mistake, and squatted in prison for eight years.
The controller of Chengnan is Lu Jianguo, nicknamed "Old Donkey", who is honest on the surface, but in fact he is thoughtful, knows how to fortune, and is a good brother with Liu Weidong.
The controller of the west of the city is called Lu Kui, nicknamed "Little Ghost", Liu Weidong's brother-in-law, greedy for money and lustful, if it weren't for his brother-in-law's support, his coal yard would have collapsed long ago.
The coal from the three major coal yards is basically transported from Shanxi and Pingdingshan. Pingdingshan takes 32 National Highway, Shanxi takes the West Henan Railway, after the coal is transported to the southern capital, it is increased by the three bosses, and then approved to the briquette factory into briquettes, and the briquette factory is then lost to people like He Qiang, making profits from it.
After saying this, He Qiang spat indignantly, saying that the "little ghost" Lu Kui is really not a thing, and He Qiang met him not long ago, but he just said the wrong thing, and he was slapped by him.
"If he hadn't brought people with him at that time, I would have killed this grandson!"
"The dog thing that bullies men and women, if it weren't for his brother-in-law, who would take care of him. Dog stuff!"
Although he scolded and scolded in his mouth, He Qiang knew that he couldn't move a single hair at all, who made Lu Kui's brother-in-law Liu Weidong, who made Liu Weidong a famous ruthless person, with blood on his hands, whoever fought with him was unlucky.
After listening to He Qiang's words, Chen Tianlang said with a smile: "In fact, sometimes revenge does not necessarily depend on force, sometimes it can rely on brains. ”
"By brain?" He Qiang didn't understand.
"Uncle Qiang, as long as you nod, I have a good plan here, and I will definitely let those coal tyrants and coal maniacs walk around without eating!"
……
It is rumored in the rivers and lakes that He Qiang has made a fortune.
This river and lake is the briquette lake where He Qiang is located, which sells briquettes. Most of the people who do this kind of business know each other and have their own territory. Don't look at He Qiang, who usually doesn't say anything, he moves briquettes and sells briquettes like a cow, he still has a lot of identity and status in this Jianghu, after all, he has been selling briquettes for a long time, he knows many people, plus He Qiang is righteous enough, and there are many people who respect and admire him.
He Qiang made a fortune, appeared in a suit in front of a group of companions who sold briquettes, didn't put up a fight, didn't say anything about Niu B's coaxing words, just invited guests to dinner, and then asked everyone for one thing, he wanted to collect coal!
Buying coal, in large quantities, as much as you want.
This is undoubtedly a great joy for those who sell coal, and now the price of coal is so cheap that no one wants it at all except to sell it as a briquette.
But now He Qiang said that he would collect coal and cash out, which is definitely big news.
Take action!
Anyone who had coal on hand was all contacted by He Qiang, and then He Qiang sent a vehicle over, took cash, and delivered the goods with one hand and the other hand.
Transparency, fairness and justice, so that those coal bosses are all happy.
In just three days, He Qiang purchased almost 500 tons of coal, during which he did not make a single slip and did not owe anyone a penny.
……
There is no doubt that the news of He Qiang's wanton purchase of coal reached the ears of Liu Weidong, Lu Jianguo and Lu Kui.
As a bull who controls the coal market in Nandu, their first reaction is that this person is a madman, seeing that the price of coal has plummeted, and he is still buying so much, what to do, looking for death!
Lu Kui was a little younger and a little impatient, so he called his brother-in-law Liu Weidong and asked Liu Weidong, and Liu Weidong's answer was, "You hold it for me!"
In contrast, Lu Jianguo called Liu Weidong very well and said, "Old ghost, it doesn't look right." ”
Liu Weidong said: "Let's take a look first." ”
In the following days, He Qiang continued to swagger around collecting coal, still trading in cash, as much as he wanted. As long as the quality of the coal is good and there is no fraud, he will have a lot of money.
……
By the end of December, the weather had become even colder.
I heard that heavy snow has begun to fall in the north.
However, the price of coal in Nandu has not risen, and I heard that there is too much mining in Shanxi and Pingdingshan, and the term is called "energy surplus".
In fact, in this era, there is a surplus of energy, and people are crazy and unrestrained in digging and mining, without understanding the supply and demand, so the price of coal will suddenly plummet.
Seeing that the fool surnamed He was still frantically hoarding coal, Liu Weidong, who had been watching for more than a month, couldn't sit still.
Lu Jianguo, as an old partner, had already called him several times and asked him if he wanted to slaughter this idiot.
Liu Weidong's brother-in-law, Lu Kui, secretly sent someone to sell some of the coal stored in his coal yard for He Qiang to explore the way.
The result of the exploration is that the idiot surnamed He has a fair price, and as rumored, he is in cash and does not owe money.
Lu Kui became addicted after trading a few times, he likes to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, these all need money, where does the money come from, of course, it is to sell coal, and coal will not become cash in the coal yard. So with the first, there is the second, and the third time. Unconsciously, Lu Kui had already taken his brother-in-law's words as a deaf ear, and felt that his brother-in-law was getting less and less courageous, not as powerful as he was back then.
The news that his brother-in-law Lu Kui sold coal to He Qiang without permission soon reached Liu Weidong's ears. Liu Weidong was silent about this, he didn't say anything, let alone open his mouth to scold, just called Shanxi and Pingdingshan to inquire about the price of coal, when he knew that the price of coal would not rise at the end of the year, Liu Weidong then calculated.
Aren't you going to collect coal?
Then I'll get you a mountain of coal and see if you can eat it!"
