0690 Rich Can Be Capricious
After the first batch of steel was shipped to Shanghai, more than half of it was delivered to the warehouses at various project sites to ensure that they did not have the dilemma of running out of rice.
All the others are put on the market.
Of course, the white hand himself will not come forward, he is hiding in the company's remote command, and on the side of the steel market, it is the energetic Tang Yunping and the loyal Cai Chaoxian.
The order of the white hand was simple, and each model of steel, sold at a price of twenty dollars per ton lower than the market price.
This was a test of the waters, and more than 250 tons were sold on the same day.
There is also a bottom line with white hands, one hand to pay, one hand to deliver, never on credit.
The market is not fluctuating, the price is neither rising nor falling, but the trading volume is still growing.
The next day, the white-handed steel was still sold at a price of 20 yuan per ton below the market price.
The market remained stable, with more than 200 tons sold for nothing.
At the same time, people from all over the world called to report that the second batch of 2,500 tons of steel had quietly started.
On the third day, the white hand ordered that the price of steel be reduced by thirty yuan per ton.
In the afternoon, the market finally reacted, down 10 yuan per ton from yesterday.
Day 4.
The second batch of steel arrived in Shanghai in white hands.
And the third batch of steel ordered doubled to 5,000 tons, and the deposit was paid.
The market is turbulent, and the price is down by 15 yuan per ton from yesterday.
The selling price of white hands is still 30 yuan per ton lower than the market price.
Four days later, the first batch of steel put on the market has been sold out.
Day 5.
Steel prices plummeted as soon as the market opened, falling by more than 30 yuan per ton from yesterday's closing price.
The white hand is even more ruthless, selling steel at a price of 50 yuan per ton lower than the market price.
Finally, when the market closed, steel prices fell back to their original levels.
On the sixth day, he did not stop because the two batches of steel he ordered in other places had been sold, and the third batch of 5,000 tons was entering the market one after another.
The market price continued to decline, and the market closed in the afternoon, the price was only seven yuan per ton higher than the ex-factory price of Shanghai steel mills.
On the seventh day, the market began to panic, and the manufacturers who hoarded steel sold one after another......
The price war only lasted for half a month.
In the end, the price fell below the ex-factory price, which was cheaper than the ex-factory price, and it was 32 yuan and five jiao per ton.
A total of 15,000 tons of steel were ordered from other places, and a total of 12,000 tons were put on the market except for one-fifth for their own use.
As the initiator of loss-making sales, he lost more than 400,000 yuan with his white hands.
Later, Bai Shou learned that Liao Yuzhu had lost even more, not only did she lose six or seven hundred thousand, but she also had more than 6,000 tons of steel in the warehouse.
Kill 1,000 enemies, lose 800 yourself, and this is a crushing victory for nothing.
Steel mills are also losing, and they are losing even more.
Not only are there no white hands selling steel from other places, including white hands, many steel dealers have transported a total of more than 100,000 tons of steel for construction from other places.
The entire steel market was swept to pieces.
The steel mills, which had always monopolized the local market, were completely destroyed this time, losing their dominant position.
Since then, Shanghai's steel sales have entered the era of market economy ahead of schedule.
At that time, seven out of ten people in the industry scolded white-handed.
Later, the industry unanimously evaluated that white-handed is a pioneer of the market economy.
But I didn't understand it with my white hands, and those who sold steel lost money, those who bought steel also lost money, and the steel mills also lost money.
Where does this money go?
There are no winners, a zero-sum game, and for the first time, white hands have experienced the cruelty and gore of the market economy.
During the price war, he once again read Ding Guangyuan's two books, and he knew that there was no winner in the price war.
But the evil anger in my heart finally came out.
The loss of four or five hundred thousand yuan is a drizzle for the white hand, so the white hand also experienced the power of the capital.
To be rich is to be capricious, and to be rich can be capricious.
Of course, the relevant departments came forward and shook hands with Huxing Company and steel mills.
All parties signed a letter of commitment to pledge not to engage in monopolies and provoke price wars.
But just shaking hands, there can be no more cooperation.
Through this fight, he learned from scratch, and he no longer cooperated with local steel mills, choosing to buy and use steel for construction from steel mills in other places.
National Day, Golden October.
Baishou invited Tang Yunping to eat at the Changfeng Hotel and thanked him for his help.
The two of them closed the door, pushed their glasses and changed their glasses, and each drank half a bottle of red wine.
Tang Yunping took out a bank passbook and put it in front of his white hand, with a full 360,000 yuan on it.
"Old Tang, what are you doing?"
"Xiaobai, my relatives helped you sell 12,000 tons of steel. The benefit fee you gave him was 30 yuan per ton, a total of 360,000 yuan. ”
"He deserves it."
"He doesn't want it."
"Do you think I'm going to take it back?"
"Xiaobai, listen to me."
Whitehand smiled, "It's weird." There are too many smart people these days, but today I met a fool. You say what you say, and I listen to you. ”
Tang Yunping said: "This relative of mine has a hundred times smarter brains than me, and he is widely popular and looks to the future. ”
"Don't be verbose, just go straight to the dry goods."
"People have two requests. First, he wants to set up a steel supply and marketing association, which has been approved by the relevant departments and is specifically for steel used in construction. Manufacturers and sellers, as well as you users, he wants to unify everyone. And he personally, not seeking financial benefits, wants the honor of this founder. ”
After thinking for a while, he nodded and said, "Good idea, I raise my hands to support." ”
"Two, he wants to be your steel supplier. As long as you nod your head, he will be responsible for supplying your company with all kinds of steel in the future. He promises that for every ton of steel, he only earns you three percent of the commission. ”
Bai Shou thought again, "Three percent, not much." ”
Tang Yunping said: "Xiaobai, you can save trouble." You are a big customer, and what people want is a long stream, small profits but quick turnover. ”
With a white hand, there must be a supply and marketing link between the steel mill and the user.
Just like the sand that Tang Yunlai operates, there must be Tang Yunping, a middleman, a big boss, who can't go out and find sand everywhere to buy sand.
"Old Tang, tell your relatives, I agree. Later I bought his steel, but he had to guarantee three of them. First, the quality meets the standard. Second, the price goes with the market. Third, it does not affect production. ”
Tang Yunping patted his chest and promised, "I promise to do it, I promise to do it." ”
returned the bank passbook to Tang Yunping with his white hand, "Old Tang, tell your relative to come to our company tomorrow to sign the steel supply and marketing contract." ”
Tang Yunping handed the bank passbook in front of his white hand again.
"That's the contract."
"What does that mean?"
"Xiaobai, these are two meanings. One is to pay you back your favor, and the other is to be a supplier of the franchise fee. When you accept this bank passbook, you sign a contract. ”
The white hand thought again.
"Old Tang, you've suddenly become smarter."
Tang Yunping smiled, "My wife said that with a smart person like you, I will naturally become smarter." ”
He looked at Tang Yunping with his white hand and scolded: "Dog, what kind of relative, you yourself are the so-called bullshit relative." ”
