Chapter 369 The richer you are, the more you dig (1.02 million) Good night
Chapter 369 The richer you are, the more you dig (10,200) Good night
That night, everyone had their own thoughts and didn't fall asleep until very late.
Early the next morning, Cao Zhen called Cao Shujie to get up and have breakfast.
When the two of them came downstairs, they had nothing to worry about. They ate steamed stuffed buns stuffed with mutton or beef and tofu buns. They were so full that the severe cold seemed not to be a problem.
After eating and drinking, the two went back upstairs.
The cotton grown on the land rented by Mingbo Textile Factory here has been harvested, packed and transported back to Pingyuan County by train.
Cao Zhen stayed because he wanted to continue leasing the land, but the matter hadn't been discussed yet and he wouldn't be able to go back for a while.
After asking Cao Shujie and calling Adilijiang, he drove Cao Shujie to find Adilijiang.
When I arrived at Adilijiang's house, I saw Adilijiang coming out of the house as soon as I entered the door.
When the two parties met, they were extremely friendly. It seemed that it was no big deal that they didn't reach an agreement last night.
"Boss Cao, please come in!" Adilijiang warmly greeted Cao Shujie and Cao Zhen into the room.
After sitting down, Adilijiang asked his son to pour tea. Adilijiang did not mention the apples.
But Cao Shujie didn't have much time to waste. This time he took the initiative and asked: "Adilijiang, are you selling all the more than 800 tons of apples?"
"What do you mean?" Adilijiang was confused and couldn't think straight.
Cao Shujie smiled and said, "If you sell them all, I plan to buy them all."
Cao Shujie's tone was not very serious, but Adilijiang did not suspect that Cao Shujie was joking.
"Boss Cao, are you sure?" Adilijiang still couldn't believe it.
Could it be that the client introduced to him by his friend Cao Zhen, whom he met accidentally, was really a big boss?
Buying more than 800 tons of apples at one time is no joke.
There are too many things involved in this.
"Of course I'm sure." Cao Shujie took the lead as soon as he came up.
Then he asked: "Adilijiang, let's talk about the price. If the price is right, I will cover all the remaining apples."
Adilijiang stared at Cao Shujie, his eyes unblinking, as if he wanted to see through Cao Shujie.
"4.35 yuan per kilogram, this price cannot be lower." Adilijiang said: "Boss Cao, to be honest, I also rented the cold storage. I have paid a large amount of rent. If the price is too low, I will really
Lose money."
According to Cao Shujie's principle, if a seller tells him that he will lose money if he sells something, Cao Shujie will not believe a word of it.
Maybe for the seller, something that could originally earn 5 yuan only earns 1 yuan in the end, which is also called a loss.
With the old god Cao Shujie present, Adilijiang felt very worried when he looked at the unmoved Cao Shujie.
In Adilijiang's eyes, Cao Shujie looks very young, but this young man is like an old man. No matter what you say, he won't get enough of it.
After Cao Shujie heard Adilijiang's latest quotation, he did not rush to deny it. Instead, after thinking for a while, he told Adilijiang that the price was still too high.
"Boss Cao, please give me a price," Adilijiang said.
"What do you think of 4.13 yuan per kilogram?" Cao Shujie asked Adilijiang after finishing speaking.
This time, Cao Shujie did not insist on his quotation of less than 4 yuan. After summarizing the recent price feedback of Apple in the market, Cao Shujie also knew that with his price of less than 4 yuan, the chance of a transaction was very low.
But there is still a gap of 2.2 cents between Cao Shujie's current quotation and Adilijiang's just now.
The price difference is 1 cent per kilogram.
In addition, Cao Shujie wants to capture all of Adili's more than 800 tons of apples, and the price difference will be huge.
Calculated on a dime basis, there is a difference of nearly 200,000.
It is not difficult to imagine that every time Adilijiang lowers his price, his heart may bleed.
Cao Zhen also did not participate. He watched Cao Shujie and Adilijiang going back and forth with each other and bickering. Cao Zhen found it particularly exciting.
Especially for two fruit farmers with a net worth of several million or even tens of millions, when they bargained for prices, they only added or subtracted a few cents, which made Cao Zhen feel very strange.
It also gave him the feeling that rich people are so stingy.
In the meantime, Cao Zhen went out with his cell phone to call his wife, mainly asking her about raising a baby in her hometown.
Patiguli was already pregnant for the first three months, and her morning sickness was no longer so severe. She still thought about returning to Xinjiang Changji, but Cao Zhen stopped her.
"Cao Zhen, did Five Star Department Store call you?" Patiguli asked him.
Cao Zhen said: "Not yet. I'll call Cao Fei later to check on the progress of their decoration."
When they signed the contract, the business cooperation department of the Five-Star Department Store told them that the renovation would be completed by December at the earliest, or it might have to be delayed until after the Spring Festival.
Cao Zhen originally hoped that they could complete the decoration on time, so that merchants like them could enter the mall and start decoration, but looking at the situation now, they may have to go to the slowest time budget.
After finishing the phone call with his wife, Cao Zhen entered the room and saw that Cao Shujie and Adilijiang were still discussing the price. He saw that 10 minutes had passed. Could the price difference of 2 cents between the two be reduced?
Cao Zhen felt that it was too boring to listen to them discussing prices in the past. He called Cao Fei again when he went out and asked that the Five Star Department Store had indeed encountered some problems with the decoration.
According to the current progress, the decoration may not be completed before the Spring Festival.
And Cao Fei told him that the commercial department would contact them after a while to tell them about the postponement of renovations, and would also discuss relevant compensation plans with them.
Upon hearing the news, Cao Zhen couldn't say anything else.
It was useless for him to be anxious now. In this way, he was not in a hurry to go back. Thinking about what he had said before sending the message to Xiao Cao Shujie, Cao Zhen was wondering if he could consider making some extra money.
Regarding this result, Cao Zhen felt that it was not a bad thing.
This time he put away his mobile phone. When he entered the room, Cao Shujie and Adilijiang had already finished negotiating the price.
It was neither the 4.35 yuan quoted by Adilijiang nor the 4.13 yuan quoted by Cao Shujie. In the spirit of friendly cooperation, the two parties moved in the middle and finally chose a compromise price of 4.21 yuan.
It was 8 cents more expensive than Cao Shujie's quote, which seemed a bit funny to an outsider like Cao Zhen, but neither Cao Shujie nor Adilijiang thought there was anything wrong with this.
After initially negotiating the price, Adilijiang took Cao Shujie to the cold storage to have a look.
When he opened the cold storage, Cao Shujie took a quick look and saw that it was filled with apples packed in white plastic frames and piled neatly in the cold storage.
Cao Shujie also discovered a problem. The temperatures inside and outside the cold storage were about the same, both around 0 degrees.
Cao Shujie also had a thought in his mind: "Isn't this a natural refrigerator?"
But this thought only passed by in a flash. He knew very well that the temperature was around zero during the day, and it was minus 20 degrees at night. This temperature difference was huge, and it was very unfavorable for storing apples.
For return transportation, it is still necessary to use refrigerated and constant-temperature containers to maintain the storage condition and taste of the apples to the maximum extent, extend their storage time, and increase their sales price.
"This is just one of the libraries. I have several more libraries." Adilijiang said.
Cao Shujie did not doubt Adilijiang's statement.
He asked Adilijiang and Cao Zhen about transportation issues, and Adilijiang also suggested that he use train freight.
Adilijiang also told him that if he took train freight, it would take up to five days to reach them, which was an acceptable time.
And compared with automobile cold chain transportation, aircraft air transportation and train cold chain transportation, Cao Shujie feels that the price quoted by train is more reasonable.
…
During this period, Cheng Xiaolin called her husband from her hometown and asked him how the situation was being handled here.
Cao Shujie told her: "Basically everything has been dealt with. After discussing the remaining details, we will start shipping it back by train."
This statement made Cheng Xiaolin very happy, which meant that her husband might be back soon.
Unconsciously, a week passed. Cao Shujie called his wife and found out that everything was done.
Transported using cold chain containers, 20-foot standard type, without weight limit, each container can hold 30 tons of apples. The train freight side sends 8 containers at a time, and it takes three to four times to complete this batch.
apple.
Regarding the specific costs, Train Freight also calculated the cost for Cao Shujie. On average, the freight per container is 6,835 yuan, which is equivalent to an extra ten cent per kilogram.
After this was negotiated, a shipping contract was signed, and a purchase contract was also signed with Adilijiang. The payment method was to pay 30% of each batch first, and wait for loading and delivery. After receiving the goods, Cao Shujie
Then pay the remaining 70%.
It is not yet clear the specific apple inventory in the cold storage, but Cao Shujie and Adilijiang reached a profit. Based on the weight of 240 tons per trip, Cao Shujie paid Adilijiang the first deposit of 303,120 yuan.
Cao Shujie asked his wife to transfer money to Adilijiang through online banking. When he received the money, Adilijiang looked at Cao Shujie's young face and found it pleasing to his eyes.
"Boss Cao, I wish us a happy cooperation!" Adili said with a smile.
Cao Shujie also laughed and said: "Happy cooperation!"
After finishing his work, Cao Shujie sent Cao Zhen a message and asked him to help with the loading of the truck, loading at the train station, etc. Cao Zhen also agreed.
This job is not troublesome, but it is cumbersome and requires procedures.
After finishing all these tasks, Cao Shujie, who had been out for eight days, asked Cao Zhen to take him to Wuqi Airport and boarded the plane back to Jicheng, Quancheng City.
After this trip, for Cao Shujie himself, he felt that the overall operation was perfect.
But others can’t understand the kind of fatigue that comes from truly doing it yourself.
After squinting for a while on the plane, Cao Shujie opened his eyes again and was woken up by the stewardess.
"Sir, we are about to land at Quancheng Airport." Cao Shujie heard the flight attendant tell him.
"So soon!" Cao Shujie really wanted to go home.
I will write more tomorrow. I fell asleep while writing just now. My mental state has been getting worse and worse recently.
In addition, I don’t understand a lot of content in these two chapters, such as the price of apples at that time, train transportation, cold chain container transportation prices, etc. According to the information I checked, the cold chain container transportation in 12 years is very vague. If there is a conflict with reality, based on my opinion
