(The first watch, today's Lantern Festival, only two watches, the next watch is in the evening)

Huang Wenbin doesn't know anything about steel, and he doesn't pay much attention to the matter of steel trade, that is, Yangmu is involved in steel trade, so he will cooperate with Li Weimin and want to pit Yangmu just now. In his previous life, Huang Wenbin had seen a lot of news related to steel, but these news were all old production talks, and he never felt that it could be of any use.

"So there's no way but to sell it to others." Rong Wen said.

"Boss Rong." Huang Wenbin said, "How much inventory does a steel mill generally have? ”

"Stock? Of course, the less in stock, the better. Rong Wen said, "The steel will rust, and the more you put it, the less valuable it is, so if you can sell it early, you can sell it as soon as possible." If the quality is not good, the factory will not be able to sell it, and there will be more inventory. However, steel traders have stocks in their hands, and sometimes they foresee that the price of steel is going to rise, so they will stock up. As I said earlier, the blast furnace cannot be stopped, the production capacity is as much as it is, it is difficult to expand the output in a short time, and the only way to make money is to stock up in advance. ”

"I see." Huang Wenbin said, "How much inventory do traders generally have? ”

"I can't say for sure, some more and some less." Rong Wen said, "hundreds of tons, thousands of tons, tens of thousands of tons, now the Chinese New Year is approaching, the end of the year steel prices will definitely rise, many traders will stock up." However, a while ago, when the sports meeting was held, many traders lost a lot, had no money in their hands, and could not afford to hoard it. The big boss who has a large capital and can still get money can make a fortune, and those who have a small capital and can't get money can only watch others get rich, and the steel is bought at a price increase by the rich, and the customers will be lost. Doing trade is hard to make a lot of money, so I would rather be a steel mill, although it is hard and there is no rest, at least it is more stable, and if the coolies are used, they can be exchanged for money. ”

"So how much stock will there be in the entire Stone City?" Huang Wenbin is not interested in Rongwen's business.

"Who knows this number, and no one will tell anyone honestly." Rong Wen said, "I don't think the city government knows." ”

"Don't you know the approximate number? For example, about a million tons or about 10 million tons? Huang Wenbin asked.

"I really don't know, you go to the steel trading house and ask, maybe they have numbers." Rong Wen said.

"I see." Huang Wenbin said, "What is the production capacity of Shicheng?" ”

"Shicheng and the surrounding areas, how can there be hundreds of steel mills, thousands of them, tens of thousands of tons to hundreds of thousands of tons, an annual output should be in the millions of tons." Rong Wen said that in fact, he did not have an accurate number, but only roughly estimated, "We are quite regular, many factories are built in remote rural areas, there are no official statistics at all, and only God knows how much it produces." "In addition to God knowing, peers will probably also know, after all, they have to face competition, but he and Huang Wenbin are not familiar with each other, so there is no need to talk deeply.

"For example, if I want to put up 10 million tons of steel before the Chinese New Year, what should I do?" Huang Wenbin asked.

"Ten million tons?" Rong Wen was taken aback, "That's not tens of billions, who has so much money." ”

Hearing this, Li Yiling looked at Huang Wenbin thoughtfully.

"What if I had that much money." Huang Wenbin said.

"That's ...... It's not that it's impossible, it's definitely difficult. The annual output of Shicheng should be calculated according to 5 million tons, and it will be less than 20,000 tons a day, so let's calculate it according to 20,000 tons. It was almost two months until the Chinese New Year, and it was only 60 days, about 1.2 million tons, and some of them had already signed contracts, and no matter how high the bid was, it was impossible to give it. Then only 8 or 900,000 tons can be taken out, how can 10 million tons be possible. Even if you add the state-run ones, it is not enough. Rong Wen said, "Besides, where do you put so much steel?" How many warehouses do you get, and if you don't manage them well, you have to lose a lot of money. With such a large-scale hoarding of goods, the price has to rise a lot to make money, and the output of China is so large, and the foreign demand is shrinking, what if the price does not rise much? Isn't that a big loss? Even if there is really so much money, and so much steel is bought, and a place to store it is found, the price of steel has risen, but how can it be shipped? Tens of millions of tons of steel, centralized shipments will definitely collapse the local market, steel prices plummet, and profits will become losses. If you disperse the shipment, not to mention how much effort and how many customers, the transportation cost alone is a lot. ”

If that policy is promulgated as scheduled, these difficulties are nothing, "Don't worry about this for now, just talk about how to buy so much steel." Huang Wenbin said.

"How do you buy it...... Then we can only start from the major state-owned steel mills. Shicheng is definitely not enough, and it is possible for the whole province to work together. Rong Wen said, "They produce a lot of output, if they get through, it is still possible to stock up on millions of tons of steel, and then buy them from various small factories, about 10 million tons." ”

If you want to talk about the way, there is definitely no shortage of poplars, and you can also borrow the name of the Hai family to take the upper route, and it is not much cheaper, fair trade, and with national policies, the Hai family will not be surprised if you want to come. After borrowing 50 billion yuan, the major state-owned steel mills started and grabbed millions of tons of steel, and the price of steel will definitely rise, and then they buy steel in these small private factories in Shicheng, creating a tense atmosphere, and the price of steel is even higher. In the end, as soon as the policy was introduced, the price could not be lowered, and poplar could be shipped at a high price and make a lot of money.

"Brother Huang wants to buy steel?" Li Yiling asked.

"I'm thinking about it, but I haven't decided yet." Huang Wenbin said that the most prudent strategy is, of course, to buy steel with Yangmu and make a fortune by hitchhiking, but it can be earned in this way, but it can't be pitted by Yangmu. Yang Mu has earned so much, not only will he completely make up for the loss, but he will be even better than before. Huang Wenbin and Yang Mu are mortal enemies, how can Yang Mu be proud. But how do you pit poplar? National policy, Huang Wenbin must not be able to intervene. On the bank's side, he can still talk in the provincial branch, and it would be good for him to inquire about the news at the head office, and he really doesn't have such a big face if he wants to stop Yang Mu from taking out a loan. As for the steel mills, they are all sold to whoever gives the highest price. Just look at Rong Wen, he is Li Yiling's cousin, Li Weimin's relative, or Li Weimin's wife borrowed money to find someone to run a steel mill for him, Li Weimin's price is not as high as others, so he will not sell it to Li Weimin.

"Brother Huang, you are a newcomer, and you don't know the market, you can buy it directly from the steel mill, it is better to find a trader, the price may be lower." Li Yiling said, "There are many doorways in the steel, impurities, sulfur content, hardness, brittle iron ore sources, etc., which look exactly the same, but in fact, the price is very different, and the uses are not the same." We'll go to the trading line in a minute, it should be more helpful. ”

"I was supposed to work with your father." Huang Wenbin said, "Now it's just a matter of knowing a little more." "If Li Weimin refuses to cooperate, then Huang Wenbin has to come by himself.

"Cousin, let's go find Ah Yong, will you go with you? In the evening, I had dinner and sang K. Li Yiling said.

"You guys, I won't go, it's almost the New Year, there are too many things in the factory." Rong Wen thought about it, and it was not good to not give face at all, "I'll go back to dinner in the evening." ”

"Okay, go to the old place to eat hot pot, I booked the largest room." Li Yiling said.

Ah Yong's name is Yan Yong, and he is also a relative of Li Yiling, and if he calculates carefully, he should be a distant cousin, but he is much older than Li Yiling, and he has been in the steel trade for more than ten years, and his qualifications are very old. His office is also luxurious, it is a five-story independent building, and there is an elevator, hanging a huge neon sign, which makes you feel very powerful when you look at it, and there is a large courtyard behind it, which is stacked with a lot of steel and steel plates.

"Ah Yong, this is Huang Wenbin and Boss Huang." Li Yiling introduced them, "Brother Huang, this is Boss Yan Yongyan, he is my nephew." ”

"Hello Boss Yan." Huang Wenbin shook hands with him.

"Hello Boss Huang, Master Li told me about your deeds, I have admired you for a long time." Yan Yong was very enthusiastic and personally poured tea for Huang Wenbin.

At this time, there was a roar of machines in the yard, and it looked like it was processing steel. Several workers are cutting and bending long steel bars to make them into the desired shape. Li Yiling said: "Ah Yong, didn't you rent an office in the city center, why don't you move over, the machine here is noisy." There are so many piles of steel in the open air, it's easy to rust. Don't you have specialized factories and warehouses. ”

"I'm a steel trading company, and it's a living sign with some steel piles." Yan Yong said, "Running an office in the urban area, no matter how luxurious it is, people think that it may be a leather bag company buying and selling short." Take him on a tour of the processing plant and wonder if it's yours. When people look at it here, oh, yes, it's indeed making steel, and there's a lot of raw materials there, and the workers are working, and the business is good, so it's reassuring. It's different at Boss Li's level, and I still have to be intuitive. ”

"I see." Huang Wenbin said.

"Are you here today to see the steel trade?" Yan Yong asked.

How do you look at such an abstract thing, Huang Wenbin couldn't help but want to vomit, and of course admitted in his mouth: "Yes, just take a look, I want to cooperate with Boss Li." ”

"The scale of my place is not as big as Boss Li." Yan Yong said, "For more than ten years, it has been a small fight, that is, buying steel from various local factories and then selling it." ”

"Who are you selling to?" Huang Wenbin asked, "Will it be sold to other traders, or will it be the end user?" ”

"Yes, doing business, you can make a fortune." Yan Yong said, "Of course, it is good to be able to sell to end users, and the profit is relatively high, but it is also troublesome, sometimes they can't speak clearly, and the requirements are unrealistic." When it came to acceptance, he said this and that, and refused to pay. It is better to transfer goods from peers, what kind of steel do you want, what about the specifications and materials, and make it clear in a few words. This year, I still sell more end users, the steel mill in Shicheng closed for some days when the sports meeting, many users are more anxious, looking for relationships everywhere, many people heard that I can get steel, and they came directly to the door. ”

"Ah Yong, you have a big face." Li Yiling said.

"Everywhere, everyone gives face." Yan Yong was very happy.
