Chapter 138: Buying and Selling Short
The guesthouse in Longqu County is quite large, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and has beautiful scenery.
To the west of it is the river beside Longqu. The shallow river, three or four meters wide, is diverted here, leaving deep mud and reeds, as well as lotus flowers planted specially, revealing bare stems, like a dancer drowned in the water ballet.
Most of the buildings in the county guesthouse are bungalows, with 10-person and 8-person large shops open to the public, for tourists from all over the country to live freely.
There are two buildings in total, both of which belong to the "small guesthouse", which is the scope of the small trick. One is a newly built four-story county party committee building with carpets inside the grass door at the entrance, as the name suggests, for the county party committee to enter the VIPs. The other building is only 2 floors and is built in the late 1950s to "run and enter the ** society". The quality is pretty good, and it has been decorated into a standard room for 4 people.
Now, in order to cooperate with Debang Water Heater Factory, Xiaozhao's 2-story running building has also been given up, and bosses from other places are running around in different standard rooms.
"Is there a bill of lading?" Wang Shuo was carrying a backpack that never leaves his body, and his little eyes were filled with strange light.
"Old Wang, are you here again?" The Shaanxi man who was sleeping inside turned over and cursed with a smile: "You said you are annoyed, are you asking three times a day."
Wang Shuo was not annoyed when he said it, and said with a smile: "You might have a bill of lading at any time."
"I want to have it, it falls from the sky!"
"If you want it, you will give it to you." Wang Shuo took out a bill of lading and smiled: "You'll have this."
The Shaanxi people were stunned: "Good guy, how much did you collect? When did you do it?"
"The price of 3750.10 units will be increased by 1,500 next year, and there will be 100 units, 3,740 per unit."
"Good guy, you're too cruel."
Wang Shuo held his backpack and smiled, saying, "Debang's water heater has been sold until March next year. You are still waiting here. Don't you just want to buy an order?"
This is also the truth. Longqu County is barely a major transportation route. But for merchants, it is just a passing place. Those who stay in this running building are looking at the water heater list.
Not only Wang Shuo. Almost everyone is interested in orders, but not many are interested in water heaters.
After all, making money with orders is much easier than shipping goods. For example, Wang Shuo sent the truck back and was devoted to making orders here.
The man from Shaanxi * West sat up and looked at the others in the same room, and said in a vague way: "If there is a bill of lading within this year, it will be almost the same."
"3820." The earliest order of lading was in Wang Shuo's hands. The goods were delivered on December 15, and in the next 15 days, a total of 300 units were delivered. By January of the next year, the number of water heaters increased to 1,000 units. Then there was an increase of 2,000 units and 3,000 units. Therefore, the earlier the order of water heaters, the more valuable it was.
The man from Shaanxi * West said dissatisfied: "You spent 3,600 yuan on a single order, so you can raise the price by 2,200 now? It's so easy to make money."
Wang Shuo played with his backpack and smiled and said, "There are only a few orders before New Year's Day. If you don't want them, I'll give them to others. Let's privately say that next year's orders are also cost-effective. Debang Water Heater Factory is only willing to send the orders until March next year and add them together. The number of units is less than 10,000, hey, some of them are rising."
When they pay the deposit, the price is 10%, but when the price is raised, it is naturally based on 3,600 yuan. Therefore, a 20 water heater order can make double the profit by turning it.
This was unexpected by Su Cheng. He never expected that a small bill of lading could be seized by these primitive merchants and make money.
The bold businessmen have long seen the changes of the times. They do not need a master's degree in business administration. Self-employed people who graduate from junior high schools can also understand the benefits of short-selling and buying. With the pace of inflation, businessmen have long thought of faster ways to quickly make the difference. Sometimes it is a refrigerator, sometimes it is a washing machine, and sometimes it is a TV...
For Debang Water Heater Factory, a 10% deposit does solve the urgent problem. Shu Hao spent more than a year and earned 500,000 or 600,000 yuan. Although it exceeded many people, it was absolutely not enough to use this money to produce and purchase equipment.
In fact, if it weren't for Sucheng's suggestion and helping to find a loan, this water heater factory might have to be built for two or three years, and it can only produce water heaters that can barely be used.
Now, with the supplement of deposit, the repayment of bank interest is much easier, and the factory can also recruit more workers and store more materials.
However, to avoid policy risks, Debang Electric Appliances hurriedly stopped ordering after raising enough funds. As a result, this became an excuse for price increases in running buildings.
Before Wang Shuo left with his back, the man in Shaanxi shouted: "3710, I'll give me 100 units for next year's orders."
"3750 is the lowest, brother, this one is not bargaining."
The two bargained for a while, but in the end they did not reduce the price. They traded 100 water heater orders for 3,750 yuan, but the orders were replaced by 1 50 units, 2 20 units, and 10 units.
The Shaanxi-Xiang man counted 47,000 from the bag under his head and handed it to Wang Shuo. The gross profit earned by the backpack was 11,000 yuan.
In the 10 years of reform and opening up, those who made their first pot of gold have already begun to dig a piece of gold mine and the second piece of gold mine. Compared with ordinary people, their cash income is too high in addition to their inner anxiety.
It took China 20 to 30 years to complete industrialization that was completed in two to three hundred years abroad. It took many Chinese people 20 to 30 years to complete wealth accumulation that was completed in two to three hundred years abroad.
Forty-seven thousand yuan may be more savings than the whole village in an ordinary village, but when you are running, you just need to change to 4 thin pieces of paper.
Even if the paper is replaced with a real water heater, it is not enough for farmers in the village to allocate it.
The backpack has been around for a long time and has not come back.
The man in the same room as the Shaanxi people wanted to wait for another round, but couldn't help but go out for a while and came back and said, "Brother, should I sell one of the orders?"
"Which one do you want?"
"It's 20 units, 3750 is not, I'll add 10 yuan."
In this way, 20 units will be added to 20 yuan, which is the salary of ordinary people for three months.
The man from Shaanxi * West was not satisfied and smiled and said, "Brother, I still want to see it tomorrow. At that time, it will probably reach 3770."
"Then it's 3770." The man who was in the room also began to take money from his jacket's waist bag.
He lifted his clothes and surrounded his waist, which was actually a circle of old cowhide bags, and stacks of banknotes inside were tied up with cowhide bands.
The two of them handed in the money and delivered the goods in the other hand, but the door didn't come out, and the price of the water heater was raised by 20 yuan.
The man in the same room got the order, took a closer look, and went out again.
When he came back, the deflated bag bulged back again.
Similar scenarios occurred continuously within a few days. However, it is not new across the country. The price increase information seen in the newspapers every day has shocked people from being numb. At this time, in order to cope with the powerful shopping force, the Chinese sales center had to use its trump card: the household registration book policy. It stipulates that only by holding a household registration book or a marriage certificate can you buy a certain amount of salt, matches and aluminum pots...
Dong*ying and Longqu are both slow-responsive cities, but by the end of the year, the rising prices and slow-adjusted wages eventually attracted inevitable panic.
Oilfield workers are still better. Because they have products, they can easily exchange crude oil for daily necessities and distribute them as benefits to employees, so that their living standards will not decline too much.
The research institute is not good. In the entire Shengli Oilfield, except for Dahua Laboratory, which can afford benefits, other researchers only have dead wages. It is not a matter of one day or two for those who engage in ethanol that cannot afford to drink alcohol, and those who engage in rubber that can't afford to ride a car.
Qin Shiwei, who had just taken office, couldn't sit still. After begging for alms from the Administration Bureau, he simply borrowed a jeep, drove from Dong*ying to Ji*nan, and from Ji*nan to Longqu, and then met Sucheng in the semi-open factory of Debang Water Heater Factory.
Qin Shiwei was really anxious. Seeing Su Cheng's back, he rushed over like a bear. Even if the floor hardened for the lathe, he couldn't help but tremble under his feet.
He ignored Shu Hao and others next to him, grabbed Su Cheng's neck with his palm-shaped hand and shouted, "I finally caught you."
Such a bear-like man immediately stunned everyone in front of him.
"Is this seeking revenge?" Liu Pinshan's mind has begun to complete the plot.
However, several nearby workers lifted the wrench and iron rod and shouted: "Put down Director Su."
Sucheng actually does not work in Debang Water Heater Factory. He has been to Longqu for a lot of time recently, and it is just that he has done more things during the construction of the factory. Liu Pinshan and Shu Hao are still responsible for the management work in the future.
However, for workers, whoever can make a product, who can sell it for money, and who can pay wages, even if he is not the factory manager, he is also the factory manager. Before the Debang water heater has started to be sold, the part of the deposit has become arrears and paid to the workers. The name of "Director Su" is naturally at its peak.
Several more workers went around in a big circle and blocked the workshop door. They were afraid that Qin Shiwei would rob Sucheng and run away.
Although Su Cheng is stronger than ordinary people, Qin Shiwei is stronger than Chang Xiong. He stood in the aisle left by two rows of machines, making the aisle feel narrower.
Even with sticks in hand, everyone was not confident that they could defeat Qin Shiwei, but the workers bravely surrounded him, like a group of wolves vs. a single bear.
Su Cheng coughed heavily, held Qin Shiwei's shoulder and smiled: "Director Qin, what are you doing?"
"I've misunderstood, don't get it wrong." Qin Shiwei also realized it and hurriedly apologized to the workers around him, turned his head and said seriously: "Actually, this is the case, Director Su, I'm here to sell myself! The yard can't get rid of the blame!"
The worker held the iron rod tightly again.
