Chapter 085: A business earns 1 million
After receiving Lin Yi's call, District Mayor Yang thought about it, picked up the phone and called the provincial leader in charge of overseas Chinese friendship commerce and trade.
"Leader, there's something I want to report to you in person."
"Come on."
Office of Leadership.
District Mayor Yang repeated Lin Yi's words, and the leader nodded after listening: "This method is not bad, we export to earn foreign exchange, and the purpose is also to use foreign exchange to buy the materials we need in China." ”
"Last year, the country imported more than 2 million tons of fertilizer, but these shares of the provinces are simply not enough, our country is now vigorously building fertilizer enterprises, the main production is also ammonia fertilizer, urea gap is very large."
"The exchange of materials for materials is equivalent to the export of our commodities and the import of the commodities we need, but the materials are fixed as fertilizers."
District Mayor Yang said: "Leader, Xiaolin said that this batch of fertilizers is produced in the Soviet Union, do you think there are any problems?" ”
The leader smiled,
"What can be the problem, last month, didn't we start a diplomatic ambassador-level dialogue, it has eased up a lot, and besides, the materials are materials, we bought them from the free market in Hong Kong, and according to the international business rules, what problems can there be."
With the words of the leader, District Mayor Yang was finally relieved.
When he returned to his office, he called the unit in charge of seed and fertilizer in the district and asked the person in charge to come over and ask about the price of fertilizer.
For a ton of urea, the national import price is 320 yuan, the price at hand below is 340 yuan, and 20 yuan is the additional other expenses, and they are also sold out at 340.
"How much fertilizer do you think we can eat?" District Mayor Yang asked.
The person in charge said, "Leader, you can eat as much as you want, now they are all limited to purchase, and the villagers want to sell more, but the ration of each household is 10 catties, which is not enough at all, but these 10 catties are enough for two or three acres of land, and it is particularly economical." ”
After understanding the situation, District Chief Yang had a bottom in his heart and dialed Lin Yi's long-distance phone again.
"Xiaolin, how many tons of fertilizer can you get over there?" District Mayor Yang asked.
"5000 tons."
Hearing this number, District Mayor Yang was a little excited, originally he thought that one or two thousand tons would be good, and five thousand tons was really a lot.
"What price?"
"$160 a ton." Lin Yi increased from the original 120 a ton to 160 a ton, and his own trading company also had to make money, and it was not a public enterprise.
District Mayor Yang calculated in his heart, according to the current international exchange rate, 160 US dollars is equivalent to 288 yuan.
This price is more than 30 yuan cheaper than importing from Japan.
"Did the other party say they wanted to exchange any goods?" District Mayor Yang asked.
"Not yet, I gave the other party a list of products on our side, and the other party is in the process of selecting, and the specific details still need to be negotiated." Lin Yidao.
"Xiaolin, the above agreed to carry out this transaction, so that the preliminary work will be completed by you with full authority, and contact me in time if there is progress."
"Good leader."
Lin Yi came to Roman's trading company, Roman's trading company was much larger than Lin Yi's Yishida, and the general manager's office was also very luxuriously decorated.
"Lin, do you want wine or coffee?"
These Russians drink the same as drinking water, but the last time Lin Yi drank with this guy, he really didn't encourage him.
"Forget the wine, get me a cup of coffee."
The coffee pot is boiling and the fragrance wafts out.
"Lin, do you agree over there?" Roman asked.
"Yes, agreed, so I came to you and prepared for the next step." Lin Yi said with a smile.
"What's the price?" Roman asked with concern, as it involved how much he could earn privately.
"The price I gave us was $125."
Roman calculated in his heart that $125 a ton, 5,000 tons is $625,000, and according to their export price, $120 a ton is $600,000, and there is an extra $25,000 in the middle, and he can get $12,500.
Roman is happy with this income.
You must know that although he was in charge of imports and exports, he didn't make any money.
"Roman, can you still press down the price over there, so that we can make more?" Lin Yidao.
Roman frowned slightly.
"This price is a subsidized price, which is much cheaper than the price of urea in the international market, and it is already the lowest price in the allowable range."
Lin Yi spoke slowly, and said in a low tone:
"Fertilizers are more susceptible to moisture, especially during sea transportation, and some of them are damaged and sold at lower prices, which should be a normal situation."
That batch of fertilizer has not yet been on the ship, it is already destined to be damp at sea, and some things are really destined by God.
As for who is the day.
It's hard to say.
Roman looked at Lin Yi.
"Lin, you're more suitable to be a businessman than me."
"I'm here for our good." Lin Yi said with a smile.
Roman nodded, "That's right, this batch of fertilizer was a little damp during transportation, and the customer originally planned to return it, but with my efforts, I finally agreed to buy it at a price of $110 per ton, earning foreign exchange for the country and avoiding greater losses." ”
Lin Yi stretched out his thumb.
He originally thought that it would be good for Roman to press $5 per ton, but he didn't expect him to be even more ruthless and directly press $10.
In this way, each of them has a profit share of 37,500 each.
"Roman, have you picked the supplies you need?"
"It's been chosen,"
As he spoke, he handed over an order to Lin Yi, which included towels, cotton socks, cotton gloves, plus-size vests, undershirts, canned tin fruits, lighters, matches, toothpaste, toothbrushes, soap, laundry detergent... There are more than twenty in total.
Originally, it was selected according to the catalog, so these commodities are available in Lake Province.
"Okay, I'll take it back and let them prepare the supplies." Lin Yidao.
"I also informed Vladivostok and asked them to put the goods on the ship and bring them over as soon as possible." Roman Road.
......
Bidding farewell to Roman, Lin Yi did not go back, but came to Baker McKinsey & Company, who had already been here twice.
"Mr. Lin, we meet again." David greeted Lin Yi with a smile.
Lin Yi can be regarded as his high-quality customer.
"What's the matter with Mr. Lin this time?"
"Help me register two more companies, a commercial company in Cayman, a trading company in Hong Kong, two offshore companies in Cayman with cross-shareholding, holding two trading companies in Hong Kong respectively, and opening two more secret Swiss bank accounts." Lin Yi didn't talk nonsense and said it directly.
Lin Yi registered a new company for this transaction with Roman.
Before, he thought that two companies were enough, but now he finds that it is not enough, no wonder many bosses in later generations have more than 400 companies by himself, and even his secretary has hundreds of companies.
"No problem." David agreed very simply, which was his forte.
"I hope to be faster this time."
"Three days at the earliest, but you'll have to pay an extra fee."
There are many shell companies on the market, and you can become yours after acquisition, which is much faster than a newly registered company, and it can be completely done in three days, which is nothing more than a higher price.
"How much?"
"Eighty-eight thousand."
Lin Yi didn't ink, and nodded directly in agreement.
It's 30,000 more than last time, but he can get the company and account he wants as soon as possible, which is much more important than 30,000 Hong Kong dollars.
"I'll contact you when I'm ready." David said.
......
Back at the trading company, Lin Yi called District Mayor Yang, "Leader, I just negotiated with the other trading company and talked about the specific details. ”
"Oh, how's it going?"
"5,000 tons of fertilizer, the total price is 800,000 US dollars, the other party does not plan to ask for so many goods, they have prepared a purchase order of 550,000 US dollars, and the extra 250,000 yuan requires to make up the difference and settle in US dollars."
"I have to pay a foreign exchange." District Mayor Yang muttered.
Now the domestic foreign exchange is extremely tight, and every foreign exchange expenditure needs to be consulted by the province or even higher-level, and he can't make the decision at all.
"Xiaolin, can't you all exchange it for goods?" District Mayor Yang asked.
He doesn't care about some more goods, and he is really reluctant to exchange foreign exchange.
"This, or I'll negotiate with the other party again." Lin Yi hesitated.
"Well, negotiate well."
Lin Yi found Roman again, "Roman, our government has prepared $800,000 worth of goods, you might as well eat them all, except for the fertilizer deduction of $550,000, how about you pay me cash for the remaining $250,000." ”
After saying this, Lin Yi lowered his voice, "There is also a commission on this transaction, and I will make up $50,000 for you." ”
You can earn $50,000 in a single transaction.
Roman was a little excited.
"No problem, our company still has more than 600,000 US dollars in its account, and we should indeed prepare more supplies for the Soviet Union in China."
The two held out their hands.
Happy to work with.
As for Lin Yi.
In this deal, he made a profit at both ends of the price and at both ends, and ended up making a net profit of more than $200,000.
$200,000,
Even if you exchange foreign exchange at 1:1.8, you can exchange it for 360,000 yuan, because the dual-track system is now implemented, and if it is calculated at the foreign trade exchange rate of 1:2.8, it is 560,000 US dollars, and if it is exchanged in the black market, 1 US dollar can be exchanged for five or six yuan, which is more than 1 million.
A business earns 1 million.
Lin Yi was very happy.
He has been tossing for more than half a year on the last million, so the channels and platforms for making money are very important.
Following.
Lin Yi called District Chief Yang again.
"Leader, the other party agreed to buy all the goods for 800,000 yuan."
Mayor Yang is happy.
"Well done Xiaolin, come back and ask for credit for you."
A few days later,
Lin Yi and Roman signed a formal contract,
Of course
The contract does not show barter, but in US dollars.
After going through the accounts of several foreign trade companies, the fertilizer order jumped from 110 to 130, and finally the domestic export has jumped to 160 US dollars a ton.
The orders from China have also passed through several trading companies, and the price has increased little by little, and finally added to the price of 800,000 US dollars.
As for the single order of 250,000 US dollars, Roman directly paid the full amount to Lin Yi's company's books, and within a few days, Lin Yi opened a Swiss bank account for Roman with an extra 50,000 US dollars in cash.
Why is it Lin Yikai, not Roman himself, because Roman's domestic censorship is much stricter than in China, and it is safer for Lin Yikai to open it.
The account is only known to Lin Yi and Roman, and the password is in Roman's hands, even Lin Yi can't take it away, it's very safe, Roman is very satisfied with the first transaction between the two parties, and now he and Lin Yi are already iron buddies.
specially invited Lin Yi to go to the best KTV in Hong Kong to drink, sing, dance and pick up girls, and he was happy.
The friendship between the two deepened again.
With the first cooperation, will there be less cooperation in the future, which means that their money will continue to roll in and flow into their pockets.
Lin Yi drank wine, hugged a girl in his arms, and pondered in his heart.
In fact, I don't think I'm hurting the country, after all, the fertilizers I import are much cheaper than the ones they import from Japan, Canada and other countries, and they are bartering, which can be regarded as saving a lot of valuable foreign exchange for the country.
Isn't this a contribution to the country?!
