γ278γSelling point wood
It was the first time that Xiaoqiang set off from Shenyang to 2011.
The temperature in Shenyang late at night in early May was very low, only three or five degrees, but it was still warmer than the night below zero in 1950.
Xiao Qiang stood still in the black pressure reservoir area, feeling a little dizzy, although the feeling after blood loss was familiar, but the discomfort it brought to his body did not decrease at all.
He took out the phone from his bag and dialed Zhou Lan.
"Zhou Lan, I am now in the Shenyang reservoir area, you instruct the employees of the Shenyang branch to come and guard the warehouse immediately."
"Now? Boss, it's past ten o'clock. Hearing this, Zhou Lan was a little hesitant.
Xiaoqiang resolutely ordered: "For now, I won't say much, see you in Shenyang tomorrow." β
After speaking, Xiaoqiang hung up the phone and walked outside the reservoir area, he wanted to find a place to sleep, and tomorrow he would go to the timber market to carry the market.
In a suburb called Yanjiagou, the local village committee heard that the construction of this logistics park could earn 8 million yuan a year from rent, and without saying a word, it signed a five-year contract and leased a piece of collective land of about one square kilometer close to the highway to Xiaoqiang International Trade Company. After receiving the first year's rent from Xiaoqiang International Trading Company, the village committee mobilized the few villagers on the land to move out. In just one week, the company's employees, who were paid high salaries, hired villagers to build a fence around the land, and all the uneven buildings and buildings inside the reservoir area were bulldozed by bulldozers.
Xiaoqiang took a photo with his mobile phone in the dark field, circled around the pile of logs, walked for 20 minutes with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and then walked along the road for another half an hour under the street lamp, and finally got a taxi back to the city.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Report! The target's phone is powered on! Just passed the words! β
"Positioned? Where is it! β
"In Shenyang!"
"Bring someone over at once."
"Section Chief! Do you say that Cao Xiaoqiang's smuggling channel is in the Northeast? β
"Not necessarily, let's go over first."
Zhao Dayou has been haggard recently, and because of Cao Xiaoqiang's elusiveness, Zhao Dayou, who is in charge of monitoring, has not been scolded recently. Even he himself feels that he has become a rice bucket, and he can't even keep an eye on people in China.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Just after eight o'clock in the morning the next morning, Xiaoqiang was woken up by Zhou Lan's phone.
"Boss, where are you?"
"What? You've arrived? I'm at the Manhattan Spa Hotel, room 1212. β
"The first Air China flight I took this morning took off at 6 o'clock. Boss, I've just left the airport right now, do you come to pick you up, or do you meet at the branch? β
"Come to the hotel, let's go to the Shenbei Timber Market together."
"Haode, I'll be there."
Before Xiaoqiang finished eating the hotel's buffet breakfast, Zhou Lan arrived, and Bai Bingbing, the manager of the branch, also drove to meet the big boss of the head office after receiving Zhou Lan's notice, so the three of them went to the Shenbei timber market together.
Walking through the huge timber market, Xiaoqiang said to Zhou Lan: "This time the customer repaid the purchase funds with logs, and it is estimated that after processing, there will be 500,000 cubic meters, and we have to find a big buyer." β
Zhou Lan said in surprise: "Boss, so much wood!" Has it already arrived? Do you want to make a customs declaration? I'm going to organize people to be in charge of import coordination. β
Xiaoqiang waved his hand: "No need, it's already piled up in the warehouse in Yanjiagou." Now it's all about selling for a good price. β
Zhou Lan was dumbfounded, and couldn't imagine how Xiaoqiang had unknowingly put so much wood into the warehouse. β
The most surprising thing was Bai Bingbing, the manager of the Shenyang branch, as soon as Xiaoqiang's voice fell, her anxious little face turned red.
"Chairman, it's my negligence in my work, such a big thing, you see that the warehouse didn't notify me, I didn't help at all, if I knew that you were using the warehouse, why wouldn't I go? I'm going to fire tomorrow those who were hired from the village to look after the warehouse! β
Bai Bingbing was hired by Zhou Lan and was Zhou Lan's classmate at the University of Technology and Business. Zhou Lan saw that Bai Bingbing was so unscrupulous, she felt a little unbearable on her face, and blamed: "Bingbing, what are you doing, the boss is busy here, and you don't know anything as a manager." β
Xiaoqiang waved his hand again and said perfunctorily: "Don't blame Bai Bingbing, I didn't let everyone be alarmed, the branch has just been established, and there are few people, even if they are all called, they can't help, besides, so much wood is transported by vehicles, and it doesn't matter if you come to someone."
Now you just have to watch the warehouse and don't let anyone steal it. It is imperative that you first follow the drawings and install large iron gates in the gaps left on the four sides of the wall, so that you cannot see the kind inside. Build a ring road around the fence again, and call the security guards to patrol around the wall in the future, or the same sentence, no one is allowed to enter the warehouse! When this batch of wood is finished, you will immediately tamp the reservoir area for me, and then pave the cement pavement, according to the construction drawings, first build a standard warehouse for me in Area A at the door, and ask for a large steel structure warehouse of seven meters and five. These are all on the drawings, in short, hurry up and don't delay. β
Bai Bingbing sweated, and said that the boss is very easy to talk to. Hurriedly said: "Chairman, I know!" You can rest assured, I will inform the construction team to enter the site today and repair the gate and ring road first. β
In a few steps, Xiaoqiang and the others came to a wood company called 'Sanfu Wood', which seemed to occupy a large area, and went directly into the other party's office. As soon as they heard that they were here to talk about business, the other party immediately warmly received the three of them.
Xiaoqiang sat down on the sofa, took out a watch from his bag and asked, "Comrade, look at it, what is your purchase price for these varieties and specifications of logs?" β
The middle-aged manager in his forties took the form handed by Xiaoqiang and read it carefully.
Xiao Qiang took out his cigarette as if no one was around, and smoked it by himself.
"There are still people who write with a brush these days." Zhang Shangming, manager of Sanfu Wood, said with a relaxed smile.
"This hand brush is really beautiful! Where did you get this letter? How can you look up is the Liaodong Provincial People's Government, or a red head. β
Xiaoqiang didn't think of this section before, so he habitually nonsense: "The old letter paper left at home, I saw that it was wasted, so I took it out and used it." β
Manager Zhang Shangming raised his eyes in surprise and looked at Cao Xiaoqiang carefully, there is a red-headed letterhead from the Liaodong Provincial People's Government that was revoked in 1954, and a person who can still write such beautiful fly-headed block letters with a brush is rarer than a giant panda in these years. This man is either a liar or has a great background.
"Pine, more than 80 centimeters at breast height! Good wood, not much now,...... Oak ...... Ash...... Oh my God, they're all big-hearted! β¦β¦ Walnut ...... You still have walnuts?! This is a third-level protected forestry, it is military wood, and the state does not allow it to be sold casually now? Do you have a license for the sale of economic forest plantings? This thing is a piece of wood used to make gun butts and military wood molds! Dbh...... More than 40 cm? Mr. Cao, where did you get these walnuts? I've never seen a walnut forest over 25 centimeters on the market! β
Xiaoqiang said: "The original ecological forest imported by my friend from abroad has not been sprayed with chemical fertilizers or pesticides, and it is all wild in the old forest." β
Zhang Shangming was even more surprised, and said in his heart that this thing was not from Maozi or North Korea, right? You can't let go of such a good thing!
Xiaoqiang ignored Zhang Shangming's surprise and continued: "The trees in my hands ensure that they are all ecological forests, newly cut from the old forests. Any one of them, if you can detect chemical fertilizer and pesticide residues, I promise to give it to you for nothing. This is not one of those fertilized economic forests that grow as fast as crops.
Anyway, when you look at the wood, you'll know, the rings are as dense as paper rolls! β
Zhang Shangming asked, "Mr. Cao, where did these logs come from?" β
Xiaoqiang pretended to be mysterious and said: "...... in the north"
Zhang Shangming saw that Xiaoqiang was secretive about the origin of the wood, and packed the ticket for the quality of the wood, so he decided that this batch of wood was imported from North Korea and Russia, maybe it was smuggling. Because even North Korea can't export walnuts with a diameter of 40 cm or more as logs.
"Mr. Cao, do you really have so much stock in your hands?"
"Seriously."
Zhang Shangming hesitated for a moment and asked, "Can I come to the door to have a look?" β
Xiaoqiang said: "Of course, this is Bai Bingbing, the general manager of our company's Shenyang branch, you can contact her in the future." I'm here today to ask you for help in estimating the price, what is the approximate price. β
Zhang Shangming nodded, and said in his heart that this customer has a lot of background, and he must make friends.
"Okay, I'll give you a rough estimate based on the current market price."
"Birch above 60 DBH 2350 per meter...... Korean pine above 60 DBH 3010 ...... per meter Ash 60 or more 5700 ...... Elm 60 or more 2900 ...... Walnut over 40 with a DBH of 18,000 per meter. β
Xiaoqiang hurriedly interrupted: "Slow, slow, Manager Zhang, many of my books are 80 or even one meter DBH, how can you count them as 60 or 40?" β
Manager Zhang responded: "Because of the scarcity of the supply of large DBH, it is generally estimated according to more than 60, and the specific price can be discussed in detail one by one. Also, I am here to calculate the quotation for you according to the preferential level, if your goods do not meet the standard of special ecological logs, it will not work. β
Xiao Qiang nodded, but his heart had already turned over the river and the sea, before he just roughly calculated the price of 1300 per cubic pine wood, but he didn't expect it to be so bad, these logs with a large diameter and a large length are so expensive!
After Mr. Zhang wrote down the quotation and quantity one by one, he pressed it wildly on the computer, and finally came up with an approximate final price, and the minimum value of this batch of timber was more than 2.7 billion yuan.
Xiaoqiang was so happy in his heart, and said that this timber business is really easy to do, and it is simply an endless gold mine! In the future, if we simply import large quantities of logs from the Soviet Union and North Korea, then this business will not be a huge profit.
Zhou Lanle looked at Xiaoqiang happily, and said in his heart that the boss's expression must have earned it again.
Bai Bingbing stuck out his tongue, and said in his heart that he was really right, this company is really good, and the goods in one warehouse alone are worth 2.7 billion!
"That's okay, Manager Zhang, you can come to see the goods in the afternoon." After speaking, Xiaoqiang did not delay, raised his legs and walked out.
Bai Bingbing hurriedly left his business card to Zhang Shangming and agreed to go to the warehouse to see the goods in the afternoon.
After coming out of Sanfu Wood, Xiaoqiang instructed Bai Bingbing: "You immediately rent a store in the timber market, sell the logs first, and in addition, immediately find a wood processing factory to buy, and the processed wood has a higher added value!" If you can't find a factory that someone else transfers, then invest in one yourself, poach people from other factories with high salaries, and both jishu personnel and skilled workers! In short, be quick!
In addition, you take this list to run a few more wood companies, this Sanfu wood industry can not eat so many logs in one go, you find more customers to see the goods, remember, do not stick to the local, also hang out the supply on the Internet, so that the country's timber merchants come to see. China consumes 300 million cubic meters of wood every year, and the 500,000 cubic meters are not even two thousandths, and the market is very large. β
When Bai Bingbing heard that she was in charge of such a big business, the girl even gasped for breath.
