Chapter 109: Opportunity in the Corn Market

Liu Relative left the ward at the same time as Director Zhang Jindong, and through the conversation in the ward, Liu Relative knew that Zhang Jindong should be Tian Yongjun's person, and perhaps he had just joined Tian Yongjun's camp.

Some of the words Tian Yongjun has already been pointed out, so Director Zhang has strengthened his confidence to handle Liu's affairs well this time, so when he went downstairs, he kept talking to Liu's counterpart to ensure that things would not go wrong.

After thanking him again and again, Liu said that things should not be too troublesome, and it didn't matter to tell the truth, but Director Zhang patted his chest and said that if that was the case, he would be too faceless, and Liu Zhao had no choice but to let him go.

Bidding farewell to Zhang Suo and Principal Song, Liu Zhao fell into a boring situation again.

Go home and explain something to your father, I don't know when the matter will end, and it's not a way to hide it with lies.

Liu made up his mind and walked towards the grain store

The grain store has been very busy recently, because there is a van, so it has recruited a driver and two laborers to be responsible for delivery, of course, cousin Tang Jiansheng will also be a guest driver on days when he is not on business.

His skills are very good, and it is said that he has been driving for more than ten years, and he drove the double row from Huazun to Kyoto for the first time.

My father was here, and it happened that Cao Yadong was also there, sitting next to the financial table with my father and talking about corn, and there were corn samples on the table that I got out of nowhere.

Seeing Liu Relative walking in, his father was stunned for a moment, looked at the sky outside, and didn't understand why his son returned home at this time.

Cao Yadong liked this quick-thinking, polite and polite young man very much, and when he saw Liu Relative walking in, he was very happy to greet him.

"Uncle Cao is here."

Liu greeted him very warmly and sat casually to the side.

"School?"

Father asked.

"Nope."

Ryu replied.

"How did you get back?"

"You're busy first, I'll tell you later."

Liu knew that now that his father's cooperation intention with Cao Yadong had been basically reached, the two would integrate their respective forces to prepare for in-depth development on the corn line, and it was estimated that they were now discussing important things in business, and their own affairs could not be explained clearly in a few words, so they did not speak for the time being.

The father no longer asked, but continued to discuss the original topic with Cao Yadong.

"The quantity of this batch of goods is too huge, should we set the volume of two or three trucks first, and the others slowly."

Cao Yadong pulled the corn on the table and said with a frown.

"Yadong, time is running out, you have also seen the sample of corn, both in terms of hue and moisture content, I am afraid that we will only order two or three truckloads of goods, and the rest will soon be ordered by others."

Liu Rushan frowned and said, "You also said, at this price, we will definitely make a profit, so why don't you take it down in one fell swoop?" ”

Cao Yadong smiled helplessly: "We can't eat these channels now, you know, the breeding industry has a cycle of digesting corn, and they are also very shrewd, no one wants to hoard too many goods, and no one can eat the price trend of corn in the future." ”

Liu Rushan is also very helpless, now the cooperation between the two is mainly to organize their own supply, Cao Yadong uses sales channels, although the supply is easy to find, but the market is still limited, although the two of them are ambitious to go out of a broad road on the road of corn, but the reality is always helpless.

Liu Rushan lowered his head and pondered for a while, then raised his head and said: "Yadong, I have been in contact with some breeding companies and brewing companies when I was in the south, and they are in great demand, why don't we consider it?" ”

found excellent products but couldn't find a market, Liu Rushan was a little reluctant.

"Brother Liu, we have not dealt directly with these breeding enterprises, if we rush to deliver the goods, will the steps be too big and the risk too high?"

Cao Yadong has his considerations.

The reason why he is happy to cooperate with Liu Rushan is that Cao Yadong takes a fancy to his very rich network resources and financial resources, but Cao Yadong also has a fatal weakness, that is, he is very cautious and thinks too many things.

He always thinks that the direct delivery to the south is not familiar with the place, the goods are dead when they arrive at the land, and the money is not good or the price is deliberately lowered.

Liu Rushan has a characteristic of doing business, that is, he dares to do things, so Liu Rushan thinks that the cooperation between his father and Cao Yadong can be very neutralized and give full play to his advantages.

He sat on the side and listened to the conversation between the two, analyzing all kinds of information revealed in their conversation, and had a general understanding of what his father and Cao Yadong were going to do.

"Uncle Cao, in fact, southerners do business, especially those businessmen in breeding enterprises, they are more standardized and know the rules better than us northerners."

"They're more agile and have a lot of credibility, plus the overall market atmosphere, so the things you're worried about aren't a problem."

Liu opened his mouth, and he saw it as an opportunity, an opportunity to open up the southern corn market.

"Dad, isn't your batch of corn huge?"

"Well, the warehouse directly under Yanbin City, the grain is cleared, and there is a hoard."

Yanbin City is the capital city of Yuanjiang Province in Northeast China.

A hoard of corn is about 500 tons, 1 million catties, which is a huge amount.

"The news hasn't been released yet, it's a message from a friend who is engaged in rice processing, he has a very hard relationship over there, the new corn is replaced, and this batch of inventory can be resold through special channels, but it costs 2 cents per catty."

Liu nodded really, the system of state-owned grain reserves before 98 was not so standardized, and this situation was normal.

With the assumption of office of the new general manager, the circulation of grain has been raised to a strategic level, and all the grain cleared has entered the auction procedure.

With such a huge amount, it is indeed laborious to operate simply with Cao Yadong's channel strength.

Yanagi's eyes lit up.

At that time, the price of corn was very low, only about three cents, and the whole market would cost more than 300,000 yuan, but the effect it brought was incalculable.

"Dad, Uncle Cao, why don't you walk on two legs?"

Liu likes to discuss business issues with these people, and he thinks that this is what he should do, getting to and from class on time and leaving school on time, which is really a bit unaccustomed.

"Continue to contact with Yanbin, the soldiers are divided into two ways, Dad, you go directly to the south to spend the road, and the wagon goes, while taking into account Uncle Cao's local regional market, lower the price to return the funds, and strive to hoard it all."

Liu is talking very quickly, and he is now thinking not only about how much money he makes, but also about building a good relationship with Yanbin Grain Depot and increasing his influence, and at the same time using this large batch of corn to show his strength in front of those customers in the south, laying a good foundation for subsequent cooperation.

500 tons of corn, equivalent to 8 wagons, can be directly arranged, direct marshalling and transportation can not only save costs, more importantly, save the time of re-sorting, the time of wagon transportation is greatly shortened.

"Relatively, you think the problem is a little simple"

The father thought for a moment and spoke, but his son's words startled him.

According to his own wild approach, he was ready to take 100 tons, but he didn't expect his son to open his mouth to take it all.

"This is a lot of money, it will take time to get this money together, your Uncle Cao and I are pressing some rice now, so the capital turnover is a little difficult, in addition, we are not familiar with the matter of asking for wagons in Yanbin, so it is difficult."

"The most important thing is that although the market in the south can eat this large number of goods, we don't dare to send so many at one time, and we must be cautious for the first time."

Although my father was bold and daring, he was not brutal, and he considered the problem comprehensively.

Cao Yadong nodded again and again, if the two of them made up 8 or 90,000 yuan in cash, it would be fine, but it would be difficult to take out more than 300,000 yuan at once.

Liu was relatively silent, he thought for a moment and asked, "How long does Yanbin give us time to think about it?" ”

"Half a month, maybe a little more generous, after all, the word has just come out, and there is still some time before the official dumping."

After listening to his father's answer, Liu Zhao flicked his fingers on the chair one by one, and his mind began to work quickly.

He's thinking about the time difference.

To put it bluntly, the grain trade industry earns the difference between the place of production and the place of sale, and its profit mainly depends on quantity, because its single profit is too thin, and the state's major policy determines that the profit margin of grain merchants cannot be too high, and it is necessary to ensure that the basic interests of the peasants must be guaranteed, and the grain price in the market must not be too high.

The quantity determines that the funds for transporting grain in large quantities are very huge, which makes it difficult for grain traders to control this industry and become a monopoly.

In this era of general scarcity of funds, if you want to operate a large number of grain transportation under the condition that your own funds are insufficient, there are only two ways, one is to take out a loan, but your own loan is already in place, and it is impossible to increase the loan in a short time, and there is another way, that is, to use other people's money to operate.

Of course, this does not refer to borrowing money, it is easy to borrow three or two thousand, or even thirty or twenty thousand, but it is difficult to borrow one hundred or two thousand, but it is difficult to get one hundred thousand or hundreds of thousands.

The so-called use of other people's money to make money refers to the use of the supplier's goods after the realization of the money to operate, of course, here is the time difference in the payment back.

This model is somewhat similar to that of later supermarkets, where there is a gap of at least a few months between supply payments, and the supermarkets will quickly circulate the collected cash flow into short-lived and fast-acting industries for turnover and make greater profits. This is also the reason why supermarkets are called cash cows.

Turning to the grain trade industry, especially this corn allocation, Liu feels that this method can also be invoked, as long as time permits.

Of course, this can only solve the problem of funding, and the investigation of the southern market still needs to be done, which also takes time, but more than half a month should be enough.
