Chapter 137 The relationship between drinking and purchasing
Quwu City, Linxi Province, is an important coal producing area in northern China known as the Coal City.
Qin Hai and Heizi, who had been on the train for three days and nights, walked out of the train station with their handbags in hand and looked at the city stained black with coal ash. They were filled with emotions.
"The traffic conditions are really bad. When will the high-speed rail be repaired?" Qin Hai made a nonsensical comment. He really missed the era when high-speed rail extended in all directions.
"Oh my god, China is so big. How did the Long March get here?" Heizi was very excited about his first trip abroad. Looking at the loess on the roadside and the flat-roofed houses, he was amazed.
The little donkeys who walked by felt so fresh that their eyes were exhausted.
"Heizi, are you hungry? Find a place to eat." Qin Hai greeted.
"Okay, boss, you have to treat me to a good meal. I've eaten all the steamed buns in the past three days. When have I ever suffered like this?" Heizi complained.
Qin Hai patted his head and scolded: "What do you mean by eating dry steamed buns? When we passed through the Central Plains, didn't I buy you a roast chicken?"
"Is that roast chicken? Why do I think it's not as big as a crow?" Heizi retorted nonchalantly.
"Just be satisfied. Let's go. There is a restaurant over there. Let's go and have a look." Qin Hai pointed his finger and walked forward with Heizi.
Qin Hai and Heizi rushed to Linxi all the way to discuss the purchase of coal. After a period of preparation, Beixi Special Steel Plant has started production. In the early stage, Beixi Steel Plant can provide them with some excess molten iron.
But Xu Yang made it clear that special steel plants produce unplanned steel and cannot always use planned raw materials. If the special steel plant cannot solve the problem of the source of raw materials, then let alone 200,000 tons of steel a year, it will be 20,000 tons.
There are tons of castles in the air. There is no possibility.
Steelmaking requires molten iron, and smelting molten iron requires iron ore, coal, limestone and other raw materials. Among them, iron ore and coal are the most important materials. The ore and coal that Beixi Steel Plant can obtain every year are limited.
If you want to increase production, you can only find a solution yourself.
Yang Yihe, Chai Peide and others are not the Jade Emperor. They do not have the ability to turn stone into gold. They pushed Qin Hai to this position because of his ability to operate in the market. Qin Hai knew that it was his duty to deal with supplies, so he worked in the workshop
After things were on track, he took Heizi Fu Zhihao on his journey.
Qin Hai's team is still too weak. Ningmo is responsible for the procurement of Pingyuan Steel Plant. After more than half a year of beatings, Ningmo has matured and can take charge of his own business. Qin Hai cannot bring Ningmo out because Pingyuan Steel
The factory's production must also be maintained. The shortest ones are the best. Qin Hai can only choose Heizi as his follower.
Heizi and Ningmo have one thing in common, that is, they are both children of cadres. The difference is that the Qingfeng Agricultural Machinery Factory where Ning Zhongying works is quite profitable, and Ningmo has not reduced to the point of being a gangster in society. And Fu Wenbin
The economic situation of the Qujiang farm where he was located was not good, so Heizi could only take Zhao Hui, Luan Xiaolong and a group of other brothers to Pingyuan County to harm middle school students and earn a living.
Last year, because of Wang Xiaodong's incident, Heizi and Qin Hai became acquainted. Later, Qin Hai recruited Heizi and others into Pingyuan Iron and Steel Plant as auxiliary workers. On the premise of respecting their personality, he put forward various strict requirements for them.
On the contrary, Heizi and others changed their minds and made a lot of progress. Heizi was quick-witted and knew some of the ways of the world. He could play some special roles at critical times, so Qin Hai took him with him and went to Linxi to get coal.
"Boss, what do you want to eat? You just got off the train. How about I give you two big bowls of braised noodles and a pot of Fen wine to relieve your fatigue? What do you think?"
Qin Hai and Heizi had just walked into the small restaurant. They were greeted by an enthusiastic waiter who recommended dishes to them skillfully. The waiter spoke with a Linxi accent, but Qin Hai couldn't understand two of the three sentences he said.
However, the title "Boss" seemed harsh, which gave Qin Hai a feeling of disobedience.
"Why, is it fashionable to call you boss here?" Qin Hai asked the waiter with a smile.
The title "boss" is gradually popularized from south to north. In the southern Guangdong region, it is very natural for people to address themselves as boss. Because Anhe Province is located in the south, many places now use this title. But in Qinhai's impression
Most areas in China and the north, especially central and inland provinces like Linxi, are probably not that open yet. If the waiter called him "comrade", he would think it was more reasonable.
Hearing Qin Hai's question, the waiter smiled shyly and said, "Boss, you don't know, there are more and more southern customers in our place now, and everyone calls them this. Look at those tables.
They are all big bosses in the South, and they are rich. To eat chicken, you have to kill it freshly, and you also need to eat fish. How can we get fish in this place?"
Qin Hai looked around and saw that the small restaurant was packed with people. Several tables of guests were drinking and talking loudly in the southern bird language that Qin Hai couldn't understand. The gold jewelry on everyone's body was shining.
, dazzled Qin Hai's eyes.
"They are the bosses, and we are part-time workers. Let's do what you just said, two bowls of braised noodles, two ounces of Fen wine, and a plate of cooked meat." Qin Hai told the waiter, and then pulled Heizi to the door.
I sat down at a small table nearby.
"Boss, these people are also here to get coal. I heard coal mentioned in their conversation." After Heizi sat down, he reported to Qin Haihui in a low voice.
"Can you understand what they are saying?" Qin Hai was a little curious. He could tell that those people spoke Hong Kong dialect, but he didn't know what they were talking about specifically.
Heizi smiled and said: "Although I have never been to Hong Kong Island, I have watched the videos frequently. I can understand 70% to 80% of what they say. They are talking about how to deal with the mine managers of several large state-owned mines and find a way to do it."
To coal."
While they were talking, someone else came in through the door curtain. He was a big black man with a stubble on his face, looking like an old buyer. Since other tables were already full, the waiter brought the big black man to Qin Hai.
table and asked him to sit down opposite Qin Hai.
"Stew noodles, a pot of wine, and two heads of garlic." The big black man ordered the waiter in simple language, which made people know that he was a frequent visitor in this area.
"Is this your first time coming to Quwu?" After dismissing the waiter, the black man turned his attention to Qin Hai and his party.
Qin Hai chuckled and said, "Brother has really good eyesight. This is indeed my first time to come to Quwu."
"Haha, you have such good eyesight. Just by looking at the small amount of wine in front of you, I know that you have never done any purchasing. This small amount of wine is not even enough to feed a cat." said the big black man.
"Does this purchase have anything to do with drinking?" Qin Hai asked knowingly, and he was not a newbie. Of course he knew how prosperous China's wine table culture was, but the other party could tell from their drinking capacity that it was their first time to Quwu.
, which made him feel a little curious.
"Let me meet you. I'm a buyer from Chayang Steel Plant in Dongyuan Province. My name is Li Shangming." The big black man introduced himself boldly, and he looked like he had the temperament of a buyer.
Qin Hai said: "I am a buyer from the Beixi Special Steel Plant in Anhe Province. My name is Qin Hai, and this is my colleague Fu Zhihao."
"Oh, Xiao Qin and Xiao Fu are both young, not over 30, right?" Li Shangming asked.
"No." Qin Hai replied. When they met by chance, he naturally couldn't tell others that he was only 19 years old. After spending a few days on the train, both he and Heizi were disheveled and looked older than their real age.
How much older do you have to be?
Li Shangming said: "You are too young. Your factory director is so tolerant that you dare to send you two young people to work on coal, and you are two young people who don't know how to drink. By the way, you just asked me, drinking
What does it have to do with procurement? There is a lot of knowledge here..."
As soon as he said this, the waiter brought the wine and noodles he asked for. Qin Hai thought about it and ordered the waiter: "Excuse me, give us another pot of wine and two good dishes, please hurry."
As soon as Li Shangming heard Qin Hai's words, he knew that the other party was going to treat him. He couldn't help but blush a little. He didn't know where to start what he wanted to say. Qin Hai cupped his hands to Li Shangming and said, "I have never done purchasing before, so why should I invite you?"
Brother Li will give you some advice and order two side dishes, which will be treated as a thank you gift to my younger brother."
"How is this appropriate, you young people..." Li Shangming faltered, and finally did not say any bold words such as asking him to pay the bill. It seems that this gentleman is also short of money, and he does not dare to treat others recklessly.
"Let me tell you, drinking and purchasing are closely related." Perhaps because of his short-tongued cannibalism, Li Shangming cheered up and began to teach Qin Hai his experience: "You must all know, now the whole country is
There is a shortage of coal. Coal is used to generate electricity, to make steel, and to burn cement. In ordinary people’s homes, they no longer burn firewood, but instead burn briquettes. Good guy, do the math, you will have to burn coal this year.
How much coal fell?”
"We have already experienced it." Qin Hai nodded and said. In fact, there are many coal mines in Anhe Province, and the output is reasonable. But this time Qin Hai went to contact several coal mines in the province, and they all said that the coal supply was extremely tight and could not be satisfied.
Qin Hai's needs, otherwise Qin Hai wouldn't have to come to Lin Xi.
Li Shangming continued: "Quwu is a well-known coal city in the country. It has a lot of coal and good quality. It is rich in coking coal for steelmaking. No, people from all over the country come here to purchase coal.
You will know if you stay here for a few more days. You can hear the dialects of any province here."
"But, what does this have to do with drinking?" Heizi couldn't help but interrupt. He found that the strange uncle in front of him was really good at talking nonsense, and he didn't know where he was talking if he wasn't paying attention.
"That's right, let me tell you about drinking." Li Shangming also realized that he was off topic. He said: "Quwu City can provide coal to a total of 6 large state-owned mines and some small town coal mines. We
I won’t go into it. The directors of these six large mines are all good drinkers. If you want to talk to them about coal, you have to drink first. When you feel happy after drinking, you can start talking." (
