The third thousand nine hundred and eighth chapter is greedy
The same reason, different presentation methods, led to different effects. At that moment, Li Shilu knew that he could no longer help Zhang Sui. If Huaheng raised the price, were the other three companies blind?
Even if Huaheng just terminates the contract through friendly negotiation, the other three companies will make a fuss about this and propose new conditions to Beichong. If Beichong does not agree, they will also threaten to terminate the contract.
At this moment, Reporter Li understood a little bit what his father said. There is no small matter in the government work, and it affects the whole body.
"We have taken this into consideration." Zhang Sui replied in a low voice, "It was precisely because we were afraid that it would be difficult for you, so at the beginning, we requested a temporary suspension of the contract, not a forced termination."
"Your reason is that you can advance and retreat or defend." District Chief Chen smiled and extended his thumbs up, then looked at Li Shilu, "I didn't want to tell you at first, but since you brought Xiao Li over, I really
I have to argue with you...Why can the other three companies survive, but you can't?"
"Haichao and Wufengshan are originally engaged in coal mines, and the coal belongs to themselves." Zhang Sui replied helplessly, "We don't have our own sources of goods, so it's difficult to give away profits."
"What about Li Jian?" Chen Taizhong looked at him and asked with a half-smile, "They don't have their own sources of goods, and they all rely on truck transportation, unlike you who have trains."
"Perhaps he has a good relationship with the coal mine owner. It's hard to tell." Zhang Sui replied with a wry smile, "Besides, his supply is almost finished, and he has some left. If he pays some money to complete the contract, it can be considered a beginning and an end."
"So, professional things should be done by professionals." Chen Taizhong nodded, and looked at Li Shilu again, "Shilu, this is a living lesson. A business with strong professionalism cannot be done by relationships alone.
.,,
Reporter Li smiled coquettishly and did not answer, but Zhang Sui nodded with a smile on his face, "District Chief Chen's comments are really insightful. Haichao and Niaofengshan are professionals, so they have strong risk resistance capabilities.
We in Huaheng, who are engaged in trading, may sound like we can do anything, but in the end we are just a stick-and-hammer trader. We can still do business when the wind goes well, but we can't if we encounter an accident."
"You can also do your business." Chen Taizhong snorted coldly and continued to speak to Li Shilu, "This is the second point I want to make. Even if many people doubt the value of integrity, when doing business, don't be fooled by the immediate benefits...
..., finish the orders that need to be done first, and then take orders with greater benefits.
"Huh?" Reporter Li frowned slightly when he heard this. The meaning of this statement was too obvious. He couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Zhang Sui, "Mr. Zhang can't get coal, can he?"
"This... the supply of goods is indeed a problem." Mr. Zhang was heartbroken when he heard what District Chief Chen said, but he could only nod his head, "Others in the company are indeed in contact with some coal orders, and the prices are lower than those in the north.
It may be good, but the key problem is that it is still out of stock.”
"I've given you opportunities again and again, but you just don't know how to cherish them." Chen Taizhong laughed. "Zhang Sui, where do you get your coal from? What is the pit price now? Can you tell me?"
"The price of the pit has increased by about twenty yuan, which is not much, but the freight has also increased." When Zhang Sui heard the other party's serious question, he did not dare to deny it easily, so he could only answer vaguely.
"Coal in Tianxi generally only goes up by 10 yuan, right? For a big company like Hua Heng who pays for it quickly, it's likely to only go up by 5 yuan." Chen Taizhong picked up the mineral water and took two more sips, "I heard that you recently sent coal to Ufa.
Did you buy a lot of carriages?"
When Zhang Sui heard this, his face turned pale... Hua Heng was really walking to Ufa for coal recently.
Chen Taizhong didn't get this news through immortal power. In fact, it was because he had a powerful ally, Lin Haicháo. Not only was he the richest man in Tiannan, but the Haicháo Group's position in the industry was also quite high, among the surrounding countries.
The province's coal industry is almost invincible.
Yesterday, he heard that Huaheng was going to terminate the contract, so he called Lin Ying to find out the situation. Mr. Xiao Lin said that coal has a long-term bullish trend, but the current price increase at the pit is not obvious.
The current thoughts of coal mine owners are mainly to standardize the buyer's payment method. Some people emphasize that the goods can only be shipped after the full payment is received, while others even say that there is no guarantee that the goods will be shipped within one or twenty days after the payment is received.
It’s not that coal mine owners don’t want to raise prices, but it’s difficult to raise prices. As mentioned earlier, coal mine owners, also known as coal bosses, are just people with certain influence in the local area. They can dominate a mine, but in the field of material circulation,
, it doesn’t matter what they say.
The customers targeted by the coal bosses are relatively fixed. They are either coal dealers or big customers. Most of them are regular customers. The coal market has slowed down a bit and it is not easy to increase prices at will. Many coal bosses will take this opportunity to ask for money from the past.
i’s debt.
The price of coal on the market is rising now, mainly because coal dealers have begun to stockpile goods. Coal bosses are well aware of the factors causing the price increase. Although they know that coal will rise in the next step, it is hard to say to what price it can rise, so it is hard to say
Coal prices reflect a serious wait-and-see mentality - they are reluctant to sell and want to rise, but they dare not.
Lin Ying explained this cause and effect thoroughly. In fact, the Haichao Group's main business is coal coke, but it only has two mines, so it still contracted them out. Its character is closer to that of a coal dealer than a coal boss.
Of course, Haichao is deeply rooted in Zhangzhou, and the network of relationships is intricate. As long as they are willing to accept the coal, there will be coal bosses who will transport the coal. The price can be negotiated, and it doesn't matter if they don't pay.
Lao Lin, just don’t lose everyone.
With such a solid foundation, how big a deal is hundreds of thousands of tons of coal in Beichong District? Lin Ying said, even if we don’t increase the price, I will still make a lot of money, and the coal bosses don’t have the guts to follow our crazy increase. It’s not yet time for them to increase the price.
when.
Then she expressed surprise that this small amount of money is worth it for you to ask me, does it mean your balls hurt? Do you want me to rub them for you?
In fact, the main reason was that his balls hurt. Chen Taizhong laughed dryly, and then asked without shame. After Lin Ying went to make a call, she came back and told him that Huaheng was still purchasing goods. Currently, there was a good order in Ufa with high profits, so he just took care of it.
Small businesses in Beichong are no longer allowed.
Hai Chuo Group's status as the industry's hegemon is not given for free. In every industry, the top ones are only a handful of people. The Lin family can know any trends they want to know.
When Zhang Sui heard this question, his face turned red and white. At this time, he also knew that Chen Taizhong was not innocent. After a while, he gritted his teeth and answered, "Yes, we are supplying goods to Ufa.
But it’s true that we don’t have enough supply. If I can supply two of you at the same time, why can I only supply one?”
"Then why don't you offer it to Beichong first?" This time, it was Li Shilu who asked. He came to help Mr. Zhang, but Mr. Zhang's actions were a bit too unreliable.
It’s not that you’re out of stock, but you’re using limited goods to make more money?
"Actually, I never planned to end this contract. This was prompted by District Chief Chen's people." Zhang Sui also got angry and told the truth, "I just don't have the goods. If I have some goods, there will be higher buyers.
It is more suitable for me to sell to those people than to Beichong. I can earn more in the short term. Once the supply of goods is sufficient in the future, I will supplement Beichong's goods."
"Coal may rise to 510 tons in the future." Li Shilu asked with a half-smile. He was a little annoyed that Zhang Sui deceived him, so he asked very rudely, "You sold 2051 tons to Beichong?
"
"I can really sell it at this price." Zhang Sui was also annoyed by the saying that talking in a hurry is not good, so he simply reasoned it out.
"I am short of Beichong by 50,000 tons, but I have always been able to sell at a better price. The only difference is this batch of goods. In the end, I could sell goods for 500 yuan for 550, but the goods are sufficient. I
Just take 50,000 tons... just treat it as traveling back in time and sell it to District Chief Chen. At most, I will pay 300 yuan per ton. But in fact, I have been making money by borrowing his 50,000 tons of goods, and I have made a lot of interest on compound interest.
.
"That's how capital society is." Mr. Zhang saw Li Shilu's dumbfounded look. He didn't know why, and he couldn't be happy either. He just said indifferently, "The crux of the problem is... I'm really out of stock at the moment."
This is really the truth. Huaheng doesn’t want to completely offend Beichong. They currently have goods, but there are more demanders, so they can make more money. Beichong can naturally push back, so that small money can make big money.
After all, the supply of goods is still relatively scarce. If the supply of goods is sufficient, they can make a small amount of money to build their reputation while making a lot of money.
Of course, that assumption is also very unreliable. It is just an assumption. When the coal used in the principle really reaches 501 tons, why do people sell 2051 tons to Beichong?
Even if Hua Heng wanted to keep his promise, he would have to put forward some additional conditions. No one in this world is any more stupid than anyone else.
This sounds... a bit embarrassing. Li Shilu is also smart and can understand Mr. Zhang's painstaking efforts, but he is really a little disgusted with this kind of back-tracking behavior.
But thinking that he came with this guy, he couldn't help but speak up, "It's right to buy low and sell high, but the spirit of the contract also needs to be talked about. It turns out that Mr. Zhang, you really won't lose money if you fulfill the contract with Beichong."
money."
"But I'm really out of stock." Zhang Sui replied shamelessly.
"It's not that you're short of goods, it's that you lack integrity and you're immoral." Chen Taizhong said with a smile, "You know whose contract comes first and whose contract comes last. It's just that you don't think you make enough money in Beichong.
Bar?"
"In fact, resources are really tight right now, and if this contract is implemented, I will definitely lose money." Zhang Sui helplessly spread his hands, "So I hope our district will consider it."
"I have nothing to say to you. The bidding price is unique and cannot be changed... How would you feel if I wanted to change it?" Chen Taizhong snorted angrily, "The price of coal has gone up now. If the price of coal goes down,
Where is it? If you want justice, turn it upside down!"
