Chapter 741 . market economy
(Looking at the tickets, I am full of fighting spirit again, and I will strive for three more today!) )
Yang Mu arrived in Jingshan City, looked at the messy traffic on the street and the dirty houses, and sighed. This is a very remote town, there is only one industry, that is, coal mining, the nearby mountains are full of pits and valleys are full of coal mines, which began to dig in the Qing Dynasty and are still digging until now. Miners need food, clothing, shelter and transportation, and people who come to do business also need places to consume, which is slowly developing. Born from the mine, it will also die because of the mine, but for the time being, Jingshan doesn't need to worry about this, its coal can be mined for hundreds of years.
"I really don't want to be in a place like this." Yang Mu muttered, "The air is too bad. ”
"The air is really bad." Yang Bo sneezed, although he was also surnamed Yang, but he and Yang Mu had no kinship, but a director of the steel trading company, originally followed Han Guang, now Han Guang is gone, the company was transferred to Yang Mu's name, and when the other executives were still hesitating, Yang Bo ran to Yang Mu to show his loyalty and successfully ascended to the position, "Why don't you go back to the capital first, anyway, the communication is so developed, what do you need to call over." ”
"My eldest brother can do this, I can't." Yang Mu said, "I haven't done this business before, so I don't have to learn more." ”
"Actually, it's very easy, the boss can understand it at a glance." Yang Bo said, "It's nothing more than speculating on high shipments, lowering prices and buying the bottom, whoever has more money will have more goods, and whoever has more goods has the final say." ”
"You'll have to see it." I don't doubt this Yang Mu, Han Guang can make a lot of money on steel, he is much stronger than Han Guang, "Is it risky this time?" ”
"Boss, you tell you to choose the one with the least risk." "There are no steel mills nearby, and all steel is shipped from abroad. There are no other big steel companies, we have a monopoly, and the distribution is all from us. And the capacity is difficult to get, the big trucks loaded with coal have crushed the road, and no one is willing to drive the steel bars in, and the price is so high. The railway side also said hello, someone wants to bring steel bars in, and notify us as soon as possible. ”
"What about after the notification?" Yang Mu asked.
"There's going to be a little bit of an accident with their wagons." Yang Bo said.
"The risk is small, and the profit is not much." Yang Mu said.
"It shouldn't be less," this place was carefully chosen by Yang Bo, just to leave a good impression in the heart of the new boss, "Now those who engage in coal mines have made a fortune, don't look at the county town where Jingshan is not amazing, in fact, there are many rich people, and the land is fried to more than 10,000 square meters, and the prefecture-level city dozens of kilometers away is only more than 6,000 square meters." Many people are optimistic about the real estate here, and have taken land to build buildings, and the city government has also planned an entire new city, which is enough for 100,000 people to live in -- in fact, the population of their county is only 200,000 -- and the demand for steel bars is very large. ”
"But there's a lot of money to be mobilized." Yang Mu said, "It doesn't look very cost-effective. ”
"This thing is long-term, it's not a one-shot deal, you can get it every few months." Yang Bo said, of course, this is an exaggeration, generally how to do it once in a year and a half, to fatten the fish to catch, once a few months, the small fish are caught, fools will find that there is a problem, "we have so many points, here and there to get a time, there will be more profits, you can also cooperate with others, together to make a big one, the profits will be more." ”
"There are many profits and big risks, so let's start with small things." Yang Mu said, "Do it well, I won't treat you badly." ”
"Yes, I must do my best and die before I can repay the kindness of my boss." Yang Bo said excitedly.
Yang Bo called several relatively large dealers and said to them: "From today, the price per ton of steel will rise by twenty, and this is the new price list." ”
"Manager Yang, why has it risen again? The rebar is at 3900, and everywhere else is 3800. A dealer asked.
"You have the ability to pull rebar from other places, and you can use it." Yang Bo said with a roll of his eyes.
The dealer suddenly had nothing to say, and the freight was more than 100 more.
"Yes, Manager Yang is right, our transportation conditions here are too poor, and the price of steel has always been higher than outside, so there is no way." Another dealer said, "But Manager Yang, isn't this 3900 too high?" I've heard that everything else has fallen, so why are we going to go up here? ”
"I've heard about it, you've all heard about it, isn't it a little real?" Yang Bo said, "Now how fierce the economic development is, especially real estate, all over the country is doing a lot of work, do you think that only you are building houses, the country is building houses everywhere, the price of steel can not rise." Besides, this price is not high, compared with last year, the price has dropped by more than two percent. Why don't you say it when the price is reduced, and now it's a little bit back, what's the bitterness. ”
"I heard that Ah Zhuang over there in Heming said that the price was reduced." A distributor said.
"Ah Zhuang, what do you compare with others, of course his price is low, a ton of steel bars mixed with hundreds of kilograms of old steel bars, can it not be low. Do you want to learn from Ah Zhuang? Yang Bo asked.
"Of course not, certainly not." The distributor hurriedly denied it, and when this word spread, he didn't want to do business, "and Ah Mao's ......"
"What a cat and a dog! Don't fool around with those miscellaneous steel bars, all the products I give you are brand-name products, quality assurance. Yang Bo said, "I'm not discussing with you, I'm just informing you that starting tomorrow, the price will increase by 20 yuan." The market price is like this, and no one can do anything about it. ”
The distributors had to go back and tell the customers that the price was going to rise, and the price of thousands of dollars was not very conspicuous if it rose by twenty, and the vast majority of customers didn't care. There is a large amount of steel bars, and I feel that it hurts, but Panorama Mountain asked everywhere, and all the steel bars have risen, so I have no choice but to accept it. Some people have a flexible eye to inquire about the price in other places, but it is 100 yuan lower than Jingshan, but the freight is over, and there are many long-distance transportation problems, so there is no way to guarantee the supply, so they can only recognize the market price.
The next day, Yang Bo looked for the big distributors again, "Today it has risen again, all plus ten yuan, this is a new quotation." ”
"Up again?" The distributors were dumbfounded, "It only went up yesterday." ”
"When the price dropped, I tried to drop it three times a day." Yang Bo said, "What can I do, the market is like this." Now that the year is approaching, the supply of goods is tight, and the price will increase everywhere, you go out to inquire, if it is not for our boss to have a way, let alone increase the price, there will be no goods at all. ”
"Yes, of course Boss Han has a way." A distributor said.
"It's not Boss Han, it's changed now, it's Boss Yang." Yang Bo said.
"Huh? Manager Yang, are you your own boss? The distributors hurriedly asked.
"Poof!" Yang Bo laughed, "What nonsense, it's a change of Boss Yang Muyang." "I know that these buns don't understand, and I have to explain them in detail, "That's the big boss in the capital, and he is even more powerful than Boss Han before." What is the secretary of the provincial governor, they all eat at the same table with Boss Yang. "It's really sad, if it were other places, just report Yang Mu's name, this kind of ravine, I don't even know that Han Guang was arrested for such a sensational thing.
"I see." Distributors are then understanding.
"I've heard that prices outside are starting to rise as well." One of the distributors said.
"yes, I've heard that, too." Another distributor said.
"Don't blame me for not reminding you, it will rise for a while in the future, and now there is a lot of steel used everywhere." Yang Bo said.
"What about that?" At first, the distributor said, "I have a contract with someone to supply at a fixed price." ”
"Me too, Manager Yang, I want to order 2,000 tons first, okay?" A dealer asked.
"Just give the money, say yes first, and ask for the full amount." Yang Bo was happy in his heart, and these guys began to be fooled, "Order in full, I will give you whatever price you set." ”
"Is it really going to rise, all at once, what if the price falls." Another dealer said.
"Fall? The price can fall before the Chinese New Year, and I have your surname. Yang Bo snorted.
"My surname is Yang, too." The dealer said with a smile.
"Go," Yang Bo said, "Anyway, you should watch it first, and after a while, not to mention the price increase, the supply is tight, don't blame me, it will definitely be supplied to those who have ordered." The market is like this, and no one can do anything. ”
On the third day, Yang Bo rose by 20 yuan, on the fourth day Yang Bo rose by 30 yuan, on the fifth day by 10 yuan, and on the sixth day by 10 yuan, the dealers did not have time to rejoice and laugh at the peers who ordered the full amount, and on the seventh day they rose by 50 yuan! The eighth day is still rising, the ninth day is rising again, dozens of dollars each time, there are many people who can't sit still, the profit is small, and the cost of passing on has to have a time difference, so it goes up, the cost of capital is too great, so they have begun to order, you thousands of tons and I thousands of tons, all thinking about ordering now, not only can you use it yourself, maybe you can also make a profit. Because there are too many people who order, Yang Bo has to give priority to supplying the full amount of the order, and it will be difficult for others to get steel, and the price has suddenly risen wildly, and the price difference with other places has reached three or four hundred yuan, plus the transportation fee can not fill the hole.
Some people couldn't help but try to bring in hundreds of tons of steel from other places and transport them in large trucks. But the car has not yet arrived in Jingshan, and the coal truck collided, the distributor steel did not arrive, but also lost a lot of money, heavy losses, everyone said that the traffic situation is too bad, not familiar with the hand can not drive at all, especially this kind of dozens of hundreds of tons of car, not many people dare to fight this idea.
Prices are still up and down, prices are rising in other places, and prices in Jingshan are also rising, always rising a little more. When prices in other places fell, so did the prices in Jingshan, always falling very little. By the end of December, the distributors who did not place orders had lost a lot of money, and those who had ordered could still keep some profits, and some even made money selling steel bars. Everyone felt that the price should rise for a while, and everyone scraped together money to desperately order from Yang Bo.
After the New Year's Day holiday, on the first working day of the new year, Yang Bo called them again, "From today onwards, the price will be reduced by two hundred." ”
"Down two hundred? How did it fall? "The distributors panicked.
"Why did you fall so much!"
"Impossible, didn't you say it would go up?"
"This price is too low, I'm going to lose a lot of money!"
"Manager Yang, what's going on?"
"The market is like this, and I can't help it." Yang Bo said, "There is a financial crisis abroad, steel exports are wiped out, and all production capacity is piled up in China." The capacity expansion is too fast, the supply is too much, and the price is falling. In short, it is going to fall, today it will fall by 200, and tomorrow you don't know how much it will fall, you have to be mentally prepared. ”
