Chapter 107: Do you want to resell cars?
"What's the matter with him? It's a bit early to greet the New Year. "Fan Wuxian is not very cold to Qiu Baohua, if it weren't for the fact that he started with him, he really didn't want to have anything to do with him, and now the Walkman is mainly sold in the mainland market, and the attention to that side has naturally decreased.
And what makes Fan Wuxian feel a little tricky is that Qiu Baohua's foundation has not been whitewashed, if he is engaged in smuggling of cultural relics or something, wouldn't it be a blockage for himself? Now that I am talking about making money, there is no need to think about that matter anymore.
However, he still has to ask if he has something to do with him, and it must be a more important matter to call at this time.
Sure enough, as soon as Fan Wuxian dialed the phone, he heard Qiu Baohua on the other side say very excitedly, "Haha, Mr. Fan!" It's finally time for you to come back! ”
Fan Wuxi frowned and said, "Mr. Qiu, don't talk about it, what's the matter?" I know your time is too expensive to waste! ”
Qiu Baohua smiled wryly, and then said mysteriously, "This time there is another good business to take care of you." ”
"You want to rewind again?" Fan Wuxian turned over and sat up, glanced at his mother, and then carefully covered the microphone and asked, "I'll tell you, this matter is not reliable!" Don't say I didn't remind you, it's okay to do this matter occasionally, but after a long time, something will go wrong! You don't want to live in prison for the rest of your life, do you? ”
Qiu Baohua on the opposite side immediately responded, "Where can it!" I'm not stupid, we're going to play big this time, and since it's a good thing, of course I want to pull you in. ”
"What the hell is going on?" Fan Wuxi frowned and asked, he really didn't want to follow Qiu Baohua anymore.
"Several of our big bosses have joined forces and are ready to dump imported cars! Do you think this can not be profitable? Qiu Baohua's voice was a little excited.
Fan Wuxian was shocked when he heard this, he didn't say how much money he could make here, but he was frightened by the other party's appetite.
If you want to make money, the profit of imported cars must be in the hundreds, not to mention that it is put now, even if it is put in ten years, it is also a super profitable business, the question is what year is it now? It's the beginning of 1985, and you have to find a legal license plate to sell the car!
It is natural to make money from imported cars, but it also has to be scaled, and waiting for a few cars is not enough to toss the cost, but the approval power of hundreds of imported cars is not something that ordinary people can do.
"What the hell is going on?" Fan Wuxi's interest hooked Qiu Baohua.
So, Qiu Baohua told Fan Wuxian the reason.
Since Deng Gong's southern tour in '84, it has been decided to open up 14 coastal cities, and Hainan, which is adjacent to Hong Kong and Shenzhen, has naturally become a key area for opening up.
At that time, the leaders of the Hainan administrative region were so excited that they couldn't sleep at night, believing that the time had come for Hainan's economic development to be great. However, in order for Hainan Island to develop, it must have primitive accumulation, what does it rely on? By the center? It's important, but it's not enough. Relying on foreign aid? No way.
In the end, everyone thought of a quick way, which was to play with a straw boat and borrow arrows.
The so-called straw boat borrowing arrows is to convert the special policies given by the central government to Hainan into real money. In fact, as early as '83, the State Council approved and forwarded a document, "Minutes of Discussion on Accelerating the Development and Construction of Hainan Island", which pointed out that the Hainan Administrative Region could approve the import of industrial and agricultural production materials for production and construction as needed; Local foreign exchange can be used to import certain consumer goods (including goods imported and exported under state control) that are in short supply in the Hainan market.
However, the minutes also clearly stipulate that the above-mentioned import and export materials and commodities are limited to the use and sale within the Hainan administrative region, and may not be resold outside the administrative region.
Everyone consciously ignored the following text.
In fact, in Shenzhen at that time, there were many companies that made money by importing goods controlled by the state. In order to make use of the policy quickly and more and complete the primitive accumulation, the leaders of Hainan naturally thought of the automobile, which is undoubtedly the most lucrative and the most popular heavyweight commodity in the inland market compared with the import of some small household appliances and office equipment.
However, after all, this matter still has to bear a lot of risks, and it can be said that it is a chestnut from the fire, so the leaders of Hainan decided to do it to a limited extent, import about 10,000 cars, and strive to earn 200 million yuan, and get some start-up capital to spend.
In other words, there is no impermeable wall, how can such a big thing not be able to set off wind and waves?
Hainan Island, a lonely island that has been lonely for a hundred years, has suddenly become a hot spot of turmoil, and businessmen with a keen sense of smell all over China rush there with their wallets in their pockets, and the situation quickly becomes out of control. Almost everyone on Hainan Island talks about cars all summer. Wherever you go to a teahouse, restaurant, hotel, shop, office, factory, school, newspaper, kindergarten, or nursery school, you will hear a word that makes people dizzy, and that is the automobile.
"It's been hot for more than half a year, and you just remembered that the yellow flowers are cold!" Fan Wuxian couldn't help but sigh when he heard the news, hating himself for missing another good opportunity to make money.
"That's not the case, it's just the beginning." Qiu Baohua explained.
In the summer, the first batch of imported cars arrived on the island, and the entire Haikou city and outside became a parking lot.
Imported cars on the island, can only be sold on the island, but it is not without workarounds, according to the regulations, if it is lost to the island, it must be punished, of course, the punishment is generally fined. With the tacit approval of the leaders of the Hainan Administrative Region, the Industrial and Commercial Bureau actively cooperated, and a car only had to pay a fine of four or five thousand yuan to issue a certificate, and then it was loaded out of the island and sold to the mainland.
In the midst of this, embezzlement, bribery, bribery, arbitrage, and all the activities of the Criminal Punishment Section were openly carried out under the sun.
Qiu Baohua said, "In the past six months, Hainan has signed a total of almost 90,000 approval documents for the import of automobiles, ordered more than 70,000 vehicles abroad, and issued more than 50,000 letters of credit. The total amount of foreign exchange used for imports is almost 300 million US dollars. In September, a large number of imported cars from Hainan attracted the attention of the above, and the State Council sent people to investigate, and the materials reported by the Hainan administrative region were very different from the actual situation. First, all the cars imported from Hainan are sold on the island (it is a fact that all car invoices are stamped with the words "only for use on the island" and "not allowed to leave the island"). Second, less than 15,000 cars have arrived so far (this is also true, but the report does not mention the tens of thousands of cars that have been shipped and are coming towards Hainan). Third, Hainan is very strict in its management of imported materials, and no one is allowed to leave the island, and violators will be punished. ”
"Hey, hey, hey, hey-" Fan Wuxi sneered after hearing this, and said in his heart that Hainan is worthy of standing on the cusp of the storm, and everything is so strategic, no wonder how many people are planted in Hainan.
Fan Wuxian could almost imagine that at the same time as the administrative district government axe reported this material, thousands of imported cars were being unloaded at the port of Haikou City.
Of course, Fan's guess must be correct, in fact, Hainan approved at least 10,000 more cars within a month of the State Council's investigation into Hainan imported cars in September. In November, the Hainan Administrative Region said in a telegram to the State Council's Special Administrative Zone Office that all cars imported from Hainan Island had so far been sold on the island.
Then the car is not such a small thing as a diamond, everyone does not notice, thousands of imports, out of the island, but the whole world is ignored, this is too rampant, by the end of the year, the State Council Special Administrative Region Office no longer believes in the Hainan report.
"Our big bosses have gotten the news that the leaders of Hainan are going to be punished for this, and the time has come for us to make a fortune!" Qiu Baohua said to Fan Wuxi.
"What do you mean by that?" Fan Wuxi felt a little strange, since the above had begun to thoroughly investigate the import of cars from Hainan, how could there be a chance to make a fortune?
Qiu Baohua said excitedly, "Our big boss's backstage is very powerful!" Very powerful! This time, how could a few leaders in Hainan have such great courage! Truth be told, those few are just scapegoats! I can't tell you too much about the specifics, in a word, now a large number of cars are going to the island, and these approvals are available, and they can be sold in the mainland! We just want money now, a lot of money! But not through the public house! Otherwise, the number is too large and it will cause trouble! Even if you have hundreds of millions now, you can eat it! It's a few hundred percent of the profit that changes hands! ”
Hundreds of millions! Fan Wuxian began to think about whether he also had a piece of the pie, even if he excluded the channel fees, his remaining profits would definitely be more than 100 percent, invest 100 million, earn 100 million, invest 200 million, and earn 200 million. This temptation is really too great, how much more than the profit of the previous reversal is more than ten times?
In fact, this kind of behavior is neither illegal nor criminal, it just takes advantage of the lack of the system to exploit a loophole, but this loophole can cultivate several billionaires at once, real billionaires.
But the impact is very bad, and as soon as the floodgates open, the situation becomes out of control. If you get an approval document, you can earn tens of thousands of yuan by reselling a car. The people of Hainan Island are in a state of madness, and everyone is vying for approvals and reselling cars. In the first half of '84, Hainan imported only more than 2,000 automobiles, and by July, the district government had approved the import of more than 10,000 automobiles at once, 36 times higher than the monthly average in the first half of the year. In just half a year, nearly 900 companies appeared on the island, all of which went straight to the car. The navy used warships to replace all the cars with military license plates in the name of defense adjustment, and after unloading the ships in Zhanjiang, the military license plates were removed and taken back to Hainan to continue transporting the second batch.
Although Fan Wuxian didn't know where Qiu Baohua's backstage was, there was no doubt that he was able to stabilize the fishing boat in such a big event, and only at the last moment did he show his first minions and take away the biggest piece of fat.
At this time, Fan Wuxian has basically figured it out, although the gimmick made in Hainan before, it is just a smoke bomb, and the imported cars sold on the island to the mainland are only a few thousand, and the real big heads are in the back.
No wonder Qiu Baohua's bosses want to do it now, just because they have already chosen a scapegoat!
"Brother Qiu, how much does it cost?" Since the fat is current, of course Fan Wuxian will not miss this opportunity, growing up in this era of rising heroes, it is really a bastard to have money and not make money.
"I guess, you shouldn't have a problem taking 100 million, right?" Qiu Baohua knows a little bit about Fan Wuji's background, and knows that there are several industries under his hands that make a lot of money, especially the Jianlibao factory is a cash cow, not to mention that he has recently been selling computers and other high-tech equipment to American companies.
"More is it okay?" Fan Wuxian asked.
Qiu Baohua felt a little unexpected, although he knew that Fan Wuzhi was rich, but he didn't expect that people wouldn't even be able to put 100 million in their eyes, and he was stunned for a moment before replying, "Mr. Fan, this is a bit unexpected by me, why don't you wait first, and I'll report to the boss?" ”
"Then hurry up! My money is always removed with new ones! Fan Wuxi urged.
Qiu Baohua agreed, and sure enough, within twenty minutes, he called the phone again and said to Fan Wuxian, "Mr. Fan, our big boss agreed, and I am very happy to cooperate with such a powerful boss as you, if you have a way to get 200 million US dollars to invest in, then our profit can be about 300 million US dollars, and we don't have to say much, we have to make a big effort in this matter, and we need to do it up and down, and the big boss said, more or less, give you a profit of 100 million US dollars." ”
"Okay, that's it! Within three days, I'll send the money to your account! Fan Wuxian immediately agreed.
"Don't worry, the main thing is to turn around and launder the money! The share of money you should get, even the principal and interest will be sent back to you before the Spring Festival! Qiu Baohua was afraid that Fan Wuzhi would not be at ease, so he emphasized again.
"Deal." Fan Wuxian hung up the phone.
Seeing that Zhang Mei and Fan Ting and Fan Kang were all staring at him, he noticed that Fang Cai's voice was a little louder, so Fan Wuxian said very shyly, "Hey, I'm sorry, someone gave a red envelope during the Spring Festival, and this red envelope is a little bigger, so I'm a little excited." ”
"How big a red envelope can make you happy like this?" Fan Ting felt a little suspicious, she felt that her brother had always had a great appetite, and she couldn't put eight million people in her eyes, so there must be something strange about this matter.
"One hundred million!" Fan replied quietly.
"Huh?" All three were frightened.
"Dollars!" Seeing this, Fan Wuxian added.
