Chapter 504 Want to take advantage of the loopholes
Each line has its own rules.
Just opened, people doing business pay attention to integrity.
There is also a set of unwritten rules, that is, you cannot bypass customers to intercept their next business.
Liu Guangfu had long known that Lei Datou had ordered so much rebar during this period to sell to acquaintances.
He didn't dare to go around Lei Datou because he was afraid that he would lose his reputation in the building materials industry.
But Liu Guangqi couldn't care so much. Seeing that it was already the second month of the lunar calendar, he had only negotiated two business deals.
And the third brother Liu Guangfu can ask his father to go to the third factory to place more or less orders almost every day.
Seeing that Liu Guangfu came from behind and his status in the family surpassed his own, Liu Guangqi felt uneasy.
He wanted to put aside his past grudges and went to see Xu Damao, but Xu Damao didn't want to play with him.
After much deliberation, Liu Guangqi could only bypass Lei Bao to find his next home.
When the time comes, it will be Lei Bao and his younger brother Liu Guangfu who are tricked, not him anyway.
Liu Guangqi believes that there are no real enemies or real friends, only partners and competitors.
Now this competitor is not Lin Zhen, Xu Damao and Liu Guangtian, but Liu Guangfu and Lei Datou.
After making up his mind, Liu Guangqi found five small construction companies in one day.
Without exception, all the rebar they used was delivered in the name of Lei Datou.
As for the price, what Lei Datou sent was considered a second-rate product, so he must have made a profit from the price difference.
Liu Guangqi, on the other hand, purchases goods directly from the No. 3 Factory, which is considered first-rate goods, and the price is definitely low. He eliminates the middleman Lei Datou to make the difference.
These small construction companies can save a lot of money.
They are Lei Datou's subordinates, and they have no obligation to abide by the rules and must purchase goods from Lei Datou.
For the same rebar, of course, whoever has the cheaper one will use it.
As for acquaintances, Lei Datou's only real acquaintances were Lei Erniu and the four burly thugs.
Lei Erniu was detained for half a month. When he came out, he was afraid of being beaten up by his cousin, so he ran to Xicheng to hide.
Four strong men were squatting in prison.
These so-called acquaintances are just acquaintances with Lei Datou and can be regarded as a cooperative relationship.
We usually contract projects with each other and buy some building materials. Everyone is a good businessman.
He would not care about the reputation of Lei Datou, who was sentenced to three years of medical parole.
The connections that Lei Datou worked so hard to cultivate had no meaning of existence from the day he was sentenced.
Liu Guangqi's supply is sufficient and the price is cheap.
Once you get around Lei Datou, the business will be settled upon negotiation.
After discussing five business deals in one day, Liu Guangqi was extremely happy.
When I got home in the evening, I was very arrogant and put five purchase contracts on the table.
Liu Guangqi glanced at Liu Guangfu, smiled coldly, turned to Liu Haizhong and said: "Dad, the five companies have a total of 160 tons. Whoever transfers money to our company's account first tomorrow will be shipped to him first!"
Liu Haizhong touched his new tie, cleared his throat, and asked with a smile: "Since when did you negotiate five businesses in one day? You're good enough!"
"Hey! Dad, I didn't work hard before, but now that I work hard, there will be business immediately."
"Okay, that's right, Guangfu, learn from your big brother, don't just negotiate an order from Lei Datou in one day, you have to work harder, you know?"
Liu Guangfu complained: "Dad, I had orders every day in the past few days, and when my elder brother was wandering around without orders every day, why didn't you praise me?"
"Hey! Brat, are you talking back to me?"
"Don't dare, don't dare, how dare I? I will send you five orders tomorrow too!"
Liu Guangfu really didn't understand how his eldest brother could suddenly get five orders back. He was very angry at his arrogant look and his father's partiality.
Early the next morning.
Liu Guangfu rushed to the hospital to find Lei Datou.
"Lei Bao, don't keep me busy with one order a day. My elder brother negotiated five orders of 160 tons yesterday from nowhere. That's called arrogance. But my dad still praised him, forgetting that he didn't do it a few days ago.
It’s time to be single.”
Lei Datou smiled and said: "You don't understand, rebar is a commodity that is very scarce in the market. The more my subordinates give them the illusion that it is out of stock, the tighter their demands will be, and the price will be given to them."
It’s also high. If I give them enough to feed them all at once, but I don’t restock them for three to five months in half a year, will you be idle?”
"This...is there such a thing?"
"Of course, the more hungry and hungry they are, the more they will eat. Only in this way will we not be short of buyers and not afraid of being unable to sell at high prices."
"Well... that's the same principle, but Sijiucheng is only so big. Big construction companies don't use our products, and there aren't many small construction teams. If my elder brother does it like this, he'll finish building those buildings in ten and a half months.
The team is well fed, but he is not a stickler for rules."
Lei Datou sneered: "What are you afraid of? Does he still dare to steal my next client?"
"I won't do it now, but it doesn't mean I won't do it in the future. Please give me a few more orders today, otherwise I won't be able to show off in front of my dad when I go back."
Lei Datou thought for a while and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll call those acquaintances and try to get a few orders for you."
In order to facilitate business discussions, Lei Datou had already applied to answer the phone in the ward.
"Hey, Lao Chen, I sent you 10 tons of rebar last time. It has been used up a long time ago. Can I send you some more tomorrow?"
"Hey, Datou, no need. I ordered 30 tons from somewhere else yesterday and just paid. Let's work together next time."
Lei Datou thought for a moment that Liu Guangqi had bypassed him unruly.
But he still smiled calmly on his face and said: "Okay, okay, then thirty tons. You should be busy first, and I will call Boss Wu."
As soon as he hung up the phone, Liu Guangfu asked in surprise: "Have you ordered 30 tons?"
Lei Datou squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Yes, thirty tons."
Then he called Boss Wu again, and the result was the same. He also ordered 35 tons from other places yesterday. From what he said, it seemed to be cheaper than his own price.
By this time, Lei Datou was even more suspicious that Liu Guangqi was responsible for the damage.
In order to confirm his idea, Lei Datou called all the people he worked with who were out of stock.
I found that five companies placed orders yesterday, and the total quantity was exactly 160 tons.
There is no need to ask in detail. Liu Guangqi must have bypassed him and went directly to find his next buyer at a low price.
Lei Datou couldn't help cursing in his heart: Damn it, I want to keep you for a few more months.
Now you want me to be unruly and want to get me out?
Since you were the first to disobey the rules, don't worry about my rogue behavior.
If I can't beat Lin Zhen, can I still beat you?
Bullshit brotherly competition, don't try to deceive me, you are just colluding to dig me out, I will let you lose more than you gain!
As for whether Liu Guangfu knew that Liu Guangqi had intercepted his next family, Lei Datou didn't think much about it at all, and he didn't intend to ask.
If the Liu family does business well with him, he plans to make a lot of money for half a year before his medical parole expires and he goes to jail.
Then save all the money, and then find a way to trap Huaihua.
As for letting Sophora japonica manage the construction team, it's all a trick to confuse Sophora japonica.
If he really went in, let alone Huaihua, who had never been exposed to the construction industry, even if Lei Erniu had not fallen out with him, he would not have entrusted the construction team to his cousin.
In the past three years, the foremen of the construction team were not fools and had already started working alone with others.
If you entrust it to others, you will give it to others for free.
Lei Datou is not a fool, nor is he a generous person.
He has been looking for an opportunity to package and sell the construction team. Only by depositing his money in the bank can he go to prison without any worries.
The opportunity he wanted was right now, and the Liu family of the construction team had to have it even if they didn't want it.
Lei Datou is not worried that the Liu family will not give him money, because his plan is too rogue.
"Uncle Guangfu, you, like this, send me 300 tons of rebar first, but it will be delivered in five or six days. The few people who want the goods just now are busy settling the projects at hand. Where can I send it to you then?
Tell you."
"Three hundred tons? OK, OK, I get it!"
Liu Guangfu was overjoyed. This was the biggest deal he had negotiated since he started doing business.
Think about it, although my brother was arrogant yesterday, the five orders together were only 160 tons, and my single order was 300 tons. When I go back in the evening, I will definitely make my brother angry.
Lei Datou said: "We will sign the contract now, but the money may not arrive so quickly. As you know, those companies are settling their wages. They have to wait for Party A to give them their wages before they can give it to me and I can give the money."
Forwarded to you."
Liu Guangfu hesitated and said: "Well...can't you pay for the goods right away?"
Lei Datou said disdainfully: "Hey! What's wrong with you? I usually have a bad reputation, but in the business world, I am the most honest person. If you are afraid that I will default on my debt, where can I go?"
Liu Guangfu smiled awkwardly and said: "That's true. I thought about it too much. You are indeed happy every time you give me money."
"That's it, do you think I'm like Lin Zhen and don't give you money until you see the goods? When did I not give you money first and see the goods later?"
Liu Guangfu smiled and said: "Okay, okay, it's okay, our cooperative relationship is so strong, can I not believe it? I just talked too much."
Lei Datou hurriedly added to the fire, "Don't! In order to prevent your petty uncle Guangfu from worrying, we will write it down in the contract. If I can't pay the payment, I will compensate you, Liu Guangfu, for the construction company I own.
Comrade!"
"Ouch! That's how petty you look."
"It's okay. It's okay to be thin first and then thick. It's business, so you can't be careless. Just write it down, in duplicate."
Lei Datou and Liu Guangfu signed the purchase contract, and both signed and fingerprinted it.
Liu Guangfu left happily. As soon as he left, Lei Datou called all the remaining people who had not ordered from Liu Guangqi.
"Hey, Lao Yang, the price has increased..."
"Boss Fang, I can't help it. The factory raised the price for me..."
"Yes, yes, manager Chen, do you want to..."
"Lao Yu, if you don't believe me, ask Lao Chen and Boss Wu, let me pay this price, and you don't want anyone to ask for it..."
…
Not only did Lei Datou increase the prices for those customers, he also led them to the five people who had already ordered from Liu Guangqi at a low price.
A plan to be irresponsible and pretend to be pitiful has been formed in Lei Datou's mind.
