Chapter 15: Disaster is the basis of good fortune
Although Zhao Shucheng hated this, he knew that he had no choice but to do so. After all, he was just the deputy secretary of a small mountain village.
However, as the saying goes, cats have cats, mouse have rats. Although Zhao Shucheng cannot be the same as those people, he also has his own way.
Since the supply and marketing cooperatives in the county and the city cannot provide supplies to Xiao Lei's family, Zhao Shucheng is preparing to directly find the source manufacturer and get the supplies he needs from them.
After all, even if Xiao Lei’s family can buy approval documents and get supplies, they don’t know how many times the batch of documents have been transferred, and the price has been higher. Instead of being cheaper by those unknown middlemen, it is better to directly connect with the source of production.
For enterprises, profit is the main purpose. There is no way to buy the planned goods, but the unplanned goods are not decided by the factory, and they will sell them to whom they want to sell them?
Of course, many companies' heads must be thinking of selling unplanned products to people who are good for them at low prices, but some people think about their own factory and want to pay more money to the workers in the factory.
Zhao Shucheng used this plan to find the directors of the cement factory and the steel bar factory, and directly purchased their unplanned materials straightforwardly to meet the production needs of the Xiaolei Cement Prefabricated Panel Factory.
And unlike those who said nothing but paid for the goods later, Zhao Shucheng was preparing to trade cash directly, with one hand and the other hand, and directly used the money to make a way out.
Zhao Shucheng is disdainful to do something about 1 billion people in society, and there are still 100 million people in search of them. Moreover, Zhao Shucheng knows very clearly that although this kind of business seems profitable now, by the 1990s, those insensitive fallouts will go bankrupt due to hyperinflation.
After all, the matter of placing approval documents in this way is actually a fleece, and the impact is extremely bad. Especially after the losses of state-owned enterprises, triangular debts, defaulting on bank loans, etc., which triggers price breakthroughs, and many companies will be forced to death directly.
As long as Zhao Shucheng does business peacefully and sets the standards of his own business from the beginning, he can safely survive that period, and in the era of market economy, the real rise of the Xiao Lei family is the beginning.
In fact, County Mayor Xu has been paying attention to the situation of Xiao Lei family. After all, Xiao Lei family is more like an experimental field for him. Now the country’s reform and opening up has just begun, and everyone is crossing the river by feeling the stones. Many places are relatively conservative, and some places are very radical.
The Xiao Lei family said that it was conservative and conservative. Many places had already started contracting households, but the Xiao Lei family still contracted in groups. But you said that the Xiao Lei family was conservative, but they were out of their arms, building brick kilns, setting up breeding farms, bamboo weaving factories, and even doing business abroad.
Old Xu was a little confused about a person like Zhao Shucheng, but he still admired him very much. After all, Zhao Shucheng seemed to dare to fight and do and dare to break forward. He hoped to see a different economic development model from the Lei family.
Zhao Shucheng took Sibao to the provincial capital with his bus station in the county, and directly looked for the provincial steel factory and cement factory to discuss the purchase of supplies.
However, after arriving at the provincial capital, Zhao Shucheng and Sibao settled in the guesthouse and went to see Song Yunhui who was studying in the provincial capital.
Of course, this was mainly because Song Yunping commissioned him to see his younger brother. After all, since Song Yunhui left home, he had just stopped going home at school because the school had set up a laboratory.
Song Yunhui was naturally very happy when he knew that Zhao Shucheng was here, so he took Zhao Shucheng around the school for a few times, hoping to see Zhao Shucheng surprised.
But Zhao Shucheng disappointed him. Zhao Shucheng's eyes were very calm, without the surprise and admiration he had imagined, but was just like going to an ordinary family.
However, after entering university, the four treasures seemed to be insufficient, and they wanted to put them all into their eyes.
When Zhao Shucheng saw Song Yunhui, he nodded and said, "It's okay, I'm not thin, so I can get along with your sister. OK, go and call all your classmates, let's have a meal together, and I want to ask you college students for some questions."
"Okay, I'll ask!"
Zhao Shucheng glanced at him and said, "Don't be a big shot with me. You are also very clear about the situation of the Xiao Lei family and are not short of this little money. To be honest, if the Xiao Lei family was not just a village collective enterprise now, I hope you can come to Xiao Lei family after college to help us develop the company better."
"We can't do it? After all, we are studying chemical engineering, so the companies of Xiao Lei's family should not be used, right?" Song Yunhui said hesitantly after hearing this.
Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "Of course, the current enterprises are not good, but it does not mean that the future will not be used. You also know that the scale of our village farms is not small. If every household raises rabbits in the future, it may produce several tons or dozens of tons of rabbit hair annually. If we don't want to only earn money from raw materials, we need to develop our own rabbit hair production enterprises. This involves some chemical knowledge, and the same is true for rabbit hair dyeing, so it is still necessary to have a professional talent to help."
Seeing Song Yunhui feeling a little embarrassed, Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "Okay, look at you like this. I said that too, let alone everything is still early. Maybe you have new ideas then."
After Song Yunhui's classmates gathered, Zhao Shucheng talked about his purpose of coming to the provincial capital this time.
After hearing this, Song Yunhui said, "Brother-in-law, you village and town enterprises have no national planning indicators at all, so they are definitely not within the scope of supply. Before, there was no problem in small batch purchases, but now if you want to import raw materials, you can only find the person who has the notes to buy unplanned raw materials."
Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "That's what I think, but I don't want to find anyone who makes a note. I go directly to the steel factory or cement factory to find their factory managers to buy unplanned raw materials, and give them a much higher price than the planned price. I don't think they will refuse."
When the others were stunned when they heard Zhao Shucheng say this.
Yu Shanqing said: "Comrade Lei, if you believe me, I have a contact information for reselling steel bars. If you can't do anything in the end, you can try it."
Zhao Shucheng nodded with a smile, thanking Yu Shanqing for his help, but he would not choose this method. After all, if he is caught, he will be troubled at that time.
Zhao Shucheng came directly to the factory just now and called for the director of the steel bar factory. The other party hesitated to see Zhao Shucheng's appearance, and finally contacted Director Li.
Director Li was a little puzzled. After seeing Zhao Shucheng, he was even more curious about who the other party was. After understanding Zhao Shucheng's specific needs, he saw Zhao Shucheng's upright posture and knew that Zhao Shucheng was also a veteran, and he suddenly felt a little intimate.
Director Li looked at Zhao Shucheng and said, "Are you here to buy steel bars?"
Zhao Shucheng nodded and said, "Yes, you are the first one I came to, because I know you are also a veteran and still retain the integrity of our soldiers and will not be like others. Those who are leaders are like they don't have money, and they are not happy to exchange for cash."
Director Li couldn't help but sigh after hearing this and said, "Who said we don't want money? Equipment needs to be replaced with new ones and workers need to live in houses. Why don't we need money?"
Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "You are right, Director Li! We all need money and don't make up for those who are fake. As long as you can give me the steel bars, we will settle the bill directly in cash and will never default!"
Director Li nodded after hearing this and said, "This is the best. I am also afraid of those who have made notes. They don't pay anything and don't know when the money comes back. You can give as much steel bar as you want."
Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "Thank you, Brother Li, so we will pay on delivery in the future and there will be no default. Also, you just said that your workers want to live in a house, and our Xiao Lei family also has its own construction team. We will build your dormitory building directly for you at a cost price, and complete it with quality and quantity."
Director Li suddenly laughed when he heard this and said, "No, Xiao Lei, you are so smart enough to fight. You buy my steel bars and I will ask you to build a house. Isn't this going to pay back the money to you?"
"If that's the case, we are helping each other. Besides, the quality of our Xiao Lei family construction team is counted in the entire Liangxi City. However, now the construction project in Jinling County is contracted by us and the county construction team, so we don't have time to go to the city and the province to pick up the project."
Director Li smiled and said, "I'll look back and ask. If this is the case, then the dormitory building of our steel bar factory can be handed over to your construction team for construction. But I said that in the front, we must complete it with quality and quantity, and there must be no quality problems."
Zhao Shucheng nodded and said, "Brother Li can rest assured that I am from an engineering corps and will definitely complete it with quality and quantity. At that time, you really need to start construction here. Contact me at any time. I promise to complete the construction tasks of our steel bar factory first."
"Okay, let's just say that. By the way, you just said, you still have to go to the cement factory to purchase goods, right?"
"good!"
Director Li hesitated for a moment and said, "In this way, don't run around. I have a few cement factories that I often cooperate with. I will call them a few times, and you can just hand over them and purchase the goods."
Zhao Shucheng was stunned when he heard this and soon understood why the steel bar factory cooperated with the cement factory. The water slag in the steel bar factory is the main raw material for the production of cement, and can also be used as a building material, as part of concrete, and can also increase the strength of concrete.
Zhao Shucheng looked at the other party gratefully and said, "Brother Li, you have really solved my big problem. In this way, I can't guarantee the other things, but we are all in stock from your steel bar factory orders and the cement factory you introduced. We guarantee that we will never delay and will not let your brother lose face."
"Okay, this is the best!"
The Four Treasures didn't expect that the problem that seemed very difficult to him was solved so easily, and they were stunned.
Zhao Shucheng looked at the other party and didn't have time to say anything to him now. He asked him to go back to the guesthouse first, followed Director Li to have a meal, and then talked about his views on future economic development.
Director Li actually has a lot to say about the current situation, but he doesn't know where to start. Zhao Shucheng, based on the future development of the situation, expressed the possibility of a triangular debt crisis. After all, many people do not directly pay cash for purchases, but pay it one month, or just settle it every few months.
But there is a problem here. Once a problem occurs in one of the companies, it will involve other companies, resulting in a lot of triangle debts. In the end, the company produces products but cannot collect the money.
Director Li naturally knew that what Zhao Shucheng said made sense, but he had no good idea about it.
Zhao Shucheng said: "Actually, Director Li, I have a solution here that is not a solution. If you listen, you can use it if it makes sense. If it doesn't make sense, forget it."
"The products in your steel bar factory are in short supply and you don't have to worry about selling them at all, so you can ask the customer to pay a part of the fee after the order is signed, and then pay a part of the fee after the goods arrive. The rest can be settled monthly or settled every six months. If the other party cannot give money within half a year, then the company will be a risk enterprise. When purchasing the goods again, the other party will be required to pay the full amount, and the previous one is used as a risk fund..."
When Director Li heard what Zhao Shucheng said, he was a little hesitant at first, but when he thought of the possible harm of the triangle debt that Zhao Shucheng mentioned, he finally made up his mind to give it a try. After all, he didn't want his factory to work hard for a year and ended up getting nothing.
I talked a lot with Zhao Shucheng and Director Li about the future development of the steel bar factory, about the cooperation between Xiao Lei's family and the steel bar factory, etc.
After solving the problem of raw material supply, Zhao Shucheng and Sibao returned to Xiaolei's house and convened everyone for a meeting.
Because cement and steel bars are unplanned materials for procurement, the construction team cannot purchase prefabricated cement boards at the previous price, and even sell them at a higher price when they are sold to the outside world.
After hearing this, Reshgen said with some concern: "Dongbao, this price increase is fine, but if someone says we are speculating, this is not a joke, so be careful."
Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "Don't worry about this problem. Our cost is there, and no one can gossip. We bought the unplanned materials at a high price. Other big factories can do this, and our village-run collective enterprises can do this. It is impossible for us to buy it at a high price, but we lose money to do business, right? At that time, wouldn't others say that we are competing at low prices and force other enterprises to death, which will be even more troublesome at that time."
As he said that, Zhao Shucheng threw the order to purchase steel and cement on the table for others to see, and let the accountant prepare the accounts at that time to facilitate those who are interested to check the accounts.
